What the Census Shows.

The census bureau has issued a complete report of the last de- cennial numeration, a study of which reveals the following de- tails in regard to population mat ters:
 Every state in the union has increased in population in the last ten years except Nevada, which has fallen off thirty five hundred, but the country as whole has grown 20.7 per cent, or 12,937, O08, making a total including Hawaii, of 76,3O3, 1887. The greatest increase in any state was that in Idaho, which in- creased 82.7 per cent, and the per cent of increase by states varied all the way from this to one half of one per cent for Nebraska Oklahoma forged ahead 4O7 6 per cent exceeding now the states of Delaware, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming in population.
 At the head of the lists in the matter of inhabitants stands New York, with 7,268, ,984: Pennsyl- vania, 6,302, 115; Illinois, 4,82l, . $50; Ohio, 4,157 ,545; Missouri, 3,106, ,665; and Texas 3,03S, ,71O- six states with more than a third of the population of the whole country. Fifty years ago, as to- day, New York and Pennsyl- vania stood first and second on the list, Ohio was then third but now stands fourth, while Illinois has risen from eleventh in 1850 to third now, and Missouri from thirteenth to fifth ill the list, while Texas now sixth was twenty fifth, but on the other hand, Virginia has dropped from foutrh to seventeenth, and Tenn essee from fifth to fourteenth.
 Rhode Island is more densly populated, with 407 to the square mile; Massachusetts comes next with 349; New Jersy, 25O; Conn ecticut 187; New York 1926: Pennsylvania, 104.1; Maryland 1925, and Ohio 1O2. The den sity for the whole country is 20 tc the square mile.

Big Telephone Deal.

The Ozark Telep hone Company which operates in Green Forest and number of other towns in this part of the state has been consolidated with number of other lines.
 Reporting the deal the Eureka Springs Times Echo of Friday last says:
 Some days ago J. w. Hill, who owns the local exchange here and the line between this point and Seligman, went to Monett and bought one or two rival lines in that section, the Barry County Telephone system. This included long distance lines connectin g. Monett, Purdy, Butterfield Wash - burn, Exeter, Cassville and Selig- man. This deal involved S11 ,000. Another company had similar line connecting Pierce City, Mt. Vernon, Sarcoxie and Monett, owned by Chicago capitalists headed by the president of the Illinois Steel Co. The manager of the company, Geo Armstrong, had a conference with MT. Hill shortly after the purchase, with the result that MT. Hill sold his Missouri system to Armstrong. A DrOpOSitiOn was then made to effect a consolidation of the Arm strong system with North Arkan- sas, and MT. Armstrong arrived here this morning for the pur- pose of arranging the matter.
 The result of the conference to- day has been an agreement on the community ofinterest plan. The lines included are the system above described in Missouri, the Hill line between Eureka Springs and Seligman, the Ozark tele- phone lines east of Eureka Springs and the line from Selig- man to Ft. Smith. A feature of the agreement will be the putting in of metallic circuits over the en- tire system embraced. When this is done, direct communica- tion will be established between Melville, Harrison, Eureka Springs, Springfield, Ft. Smith and intermediate points.

The Youngers ParO1ed.

Cole and James Younger who have been confined in the peni- tentiary at Saltwater, Minn., for 25 long years have at last re- ceived their freedom. They were sent up for their complicity in the robbery and murder at the time of the raid on the Northfield, Minn., bank. When appraised of their parole Cole Younger re- marked to a member of the par don board:
 "You know, when Methodists begin to feel good they want to shake hands with everybody. l feel like shaking hands with the whole world. As I stand here today, 1 ain't got a grudge against any human being alive or dead. Men, I am happy"
 "You told me seventeen years ago, Bronaugh," he continued, ''that all we had to do was to live and be good, and some day we would get out. It's come and it's surely d happy day."

Will Bore For Oil.

The Huntsville Republican or last week reports that the effort to prospect for oil in and around Huntsville is assuming a tangible form and that work will soon be commenced. The Republican says:
 "An atmosphere of active in- terest now pervades this neck O woods relative to the prospective effort at oil development at this place. The capitalists back of the enterprise desired, we under stand, the lease of 5000 acres be- fore they would begin active de- velopment. This, we understand, has already been secured and 1t is now given out by those in a position to know that the ma chinery will be here and work commenced by August 18th, and not later than September 1st. MT. Kaughman, of West Virginia, the leading spirit in the enter prise, was here again last week for few days. He resides in the great oil fields of his state and has been closely identified with it's oil development; and as natural consequence his con clusions that there are fine lndl- cations of oil here eXcites active interest. His proposition seems fair and the trend of development will be watched with interest He returned to West Virginia the latter part of the week to look after the purchase of an oil drill and to make all necessary ar engagements for immediate work We are inclined to the view thai ours is a great mineral section and that it's development will no much longer be delayed."

SECURING RIGHT-OF-WA
St. l.. & N. A. Railroad Extension
 to Go by Marshall.

The Marshall Republican of the 18th inst says:
 "Chief Engineer Lee, of the St. Louis & North Arkansas Railroad survey, accompanied by Con- tractor Stacey, and Col. Coffin, who is securing the right t-of way through this county, came into town yesterday afternoon, and held a railroad meeting at the Masonic hall last night. This meeting was attended by nearly all the business men of Marshall. J. R. Aday was chosen president and Albert Wellborn secretary of the meeting. Speeches were made by Messrs. Aday, Barr, Wellborn, Longan and oth CTS.
 Engineer Lee made a plain, business proposition to our peo- pie, stating that the company he represents intends to build the road. He says the company is not asking for any bonus; only the right-of way is desired.
 The following right-of-way committee was appointed: Albert Wellborn, A. Y. Barr, J. R. Aday, J. c. Longan, J: W. Aday, w. A. Hensley, B. A. Watts, G. B. Greenhaw, J. B. McCasland, w. H. Jennings, M. A. Sanders, N. M. Hensley, J. W. Gray, J. c. Hollis and $. E. Hollabaugh.
 The right-of-way committee met at 8 o'clock this morning, and were furnished by MT. Lee with a plat of the land over which a right of way is desired.
 All information that can be se- cured confirms our oft-repeated statement that the road will be built down Bear creek and on by St. Joe. The company bind them selves to those giving right-of- way to complete the road to Wiley's Cove in IS months.
 The demands for right way will be easily met. The commit tee will proceed to business at once.

Rule Items.

Our farmers were greatly elat- ed over the rain in this section Monday. We can but hope for more showers to follow and that our corn bins may yet be filled sufficiently to keep the wolf from the door.
 In regard to the present drought, it must be said that it has been of unprecedented dura- ton in this country, and it's eff fects upon our orchards will be great and lasting.
 John Crow is exceedingly joy ful over the coming of a new girl at his home. He walks higher than a game rooster since the oc- currence.
 The water melon crop is swift ly on the outcome since the rain. There will certainly be enough melons raised in this locality to supply the community and sur rounding towns.
 Millet will be sowl. exten = .sively in this locality soon, also COW peas will be sown in large quantities for needed hay.
 The sorghum crop in this locali- ty is well worth mentioning. This is crop thatis well worth raising because the demand for molasses at a fair price is gener- ally good.
 Pea nuts is a crop that is neg lected in other portions of the country. They are raised in abundance in this section.
 James Paxton and Joe Roark met in anger the other day and after the usual preliminaries Roark struck Paxton on the arm and body with gun inflicting slight injuries. Squire Douglas heard the case Wednesday and small fine was imposed upon Roark.
 The Rule school opened with an enrolment of 65 Monday. The teachers employed, the dis cipline promised and the auspic- ious commencement bid fair to make it a successful term of school.
 The drought has caused a big drop in the price of stock. Be- fore the rain all kinds of stock could have been bought at almost half former prices.
 Laban Aired shipped car load of hogs from this locality last week.
 Keep your eye on the Rule valley for melons, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. D. D.

PASSED FOR A WOMAN.
Madison County School Mar1n
 Proves to be q Man.

A remarkable story comes from the Kings River country in Madison county, of a case that is sure to become famous in criminal annals. A Texas de- tective arrived a few days ago and placed under arrest a sup posed young lady who had been teaching a private school in the neighborhood for some time, about five miles south of Hunts vile, the county seat. The peo- pie of the community were as- founded when the revalation was made that the school teacher was a man in disguise, that his name was Sears, that he was wanted in Texas on the charge of a murder committed seven years ago. It is said that he is a most engaging person, and that the young men of the community had gotten up a great rivalry on his account. No one ever suspected the de- ception. When arrested, he had in his possession 5000 in cash, carried in belt. The chase was a long and arduous one for the detective, who is to receive a liberal reward for his success.

The Future of War.

The first and most important lesson
which will be learned from the next
great naval battle will be that ar
mored protection will not protect, and
the fight will be duel between battle
ships at long range, aided by various
forms of torpedo boats and light I'M
armored cruisers, throwing high ex-
plosives; and these latter will be the
factors which will determine the fight.
The heavy armorclad will be discred-
tied, and then there will be wild
scramble by the nations in the endeav-
or to make 10 for the lost time wasted
on its construction, and light and very
swift unprotected war vessels will be
constructed, depending for their safety
upon their speed and upon their own
ability to strike death-dcaling blows.
These are the true principles which
must, sooner or later, be recognized.
The British Government now Dro-
poses building still larger and heavier
battleships, and, Of course, enormously
more expensive. Within the next de-
cade, ana sooner, in the event of q
great war, this will be learned by the
British War Office to be q g-~at mis-
talle.-Hudson Main, in Frank Les,
