good, bad or indifferent, and those who would condemn him because he brings about unpleas- ant things in what he conceiyes to be the discharge of public duty, are but poorly fitted for moulders of public opinion. The Governor may commit errors in trying to do what he thinks is right, since no man is infallible, but those who are interested in good government will try to aid and guide him by their wisdom and council, regardless of parti- san feeling, if they give the best service of their talents to their country; and not blindly con demn an action or a method re- gardless of the merits or de merits of the case, which they have in the meantime given no attention. -Dardanelle Post Dis patch.

 Elder Rice began his meeting by raising war on the sects and instead of bringing or calling to his aid the Holy Spirit to give power to what he believed to be the truth, he brought his charts and blackboards to prove his dogma s of baptismal remission of sins and his sect as the only church of Christ on earth, hence his signal failure.

NOT UNLAWFUL.

A lively lawsuit took place in Green county last week in which three boys were charged with stealing watermelons. The trial was largely attended by the people in that neighborhood, and, although the proof was conclu
 sive against the boys as might be expected the lads came clear. The Squire said that the proof showed that the boys were in the melon patch, and that the melons disappeared but claimed that the proof of the boys getting the melons was only circumStantial. Two defenses were plead for the boys; first that they did not steal the melons, and second if they did the melons were green and of no value, and hence could not be the object of larceny. Water melons no doubt come under the free for-all" list, and are not subject to the actions of our law.

If Hugh Shearer and some of the other yellow hammer or woodpecker hunters would try the following plan as used by an employe of the Union Stock yards of St. Louis they would no doubt have success. In speak ing of his method the man says: I have a patent that brings me all the yellow-hammers and woodpeckefs 1 desire, and costs nothing for gun, powder or shot. This patent is simply a long pole, run up through a wild cherry tree, extending about four feet above the top branches. You are no doubt aware that woodpeck- CT or a yellow hammer will al- ways light with their breast against a dead limb before they attack the fruit. It's work is easy. After the pole is put in place, I stand with mallet in hand at the foot of the pole, a boy is sta toned some distance from the tree, and informs me when bird lights on top. A sharp jar with the mallet brings down the bird almost stunned to death, and 1 then ring off his head. Hundreds of birds can be taken in this way, and your larder kept well supplied with fat, juicy birds" "

ABOUT THE THUNDER.

The contention of certain news papers that Governor Davis is trying to produce thunder for a subsequent campaign in his eff forts to correct what he charac- terizeS as abuse in the convict system, is the veriest rot, and happily is not obtaining currency with the people. The very jour nals giving expression to such views cannot help but see the ludicrousness of their views if they will but hesitate long enough to reflect that Governor Davis carried 74-75ths of the state in the last campaign and has grown in strength since, and conse- quently does not need any thun- der. He is only trying to carry out his pledges to the people, made in good faith in the last campaign. and these journals should blush for shame that their columns are not used to support any effort he may make in that direction. It would cer
 tainly be more agreeable from a personal stand point for the Gov
 ernor to sit quietly by in all in stances and let all conditions re- main as he found them, be they

College, London, has made a discovery. According to him, there is scarcely a cubic inch of soil which is not infested with bacteria of some kind. Some of these germs, however, are neces- sary to health.
 Dr. Newman claims that ordi- nary earth may contain any where from 10000 to 5,OOO,OOO germs per gram; and, where the soil is polluted bacteria may be present to the extent of 100000 GOO micro-organisms per gram.
 Vegetables, which have hither- to been pronounced as being the most healthful of foods are now claimed to be full of harmful bacteria. Among the most dan gerous germs found on vegeta- bles are the bacilli of tetanus, or lockjaw This tetanouS is now generally admitted to come from dust and dirt rather than from injury by blunt, rusty instru- ment as it was Supposed. The hands and feet are more open to the accumulation of dust and dirt than any other portion of the body. The tetanous baccil- lous readily finds a culture me dium in these wounds, and the germs develop with remarkable rapidity.
 The analyses of various vegeta- ble substances prove that teta- nus germs are present in the majority of cases. They are found on potatoes, cabbages, let tuce and beets. Cholera mi crobes come next in the order of prevalence. The germs of ma lignant edema have been found in radishes, lettuce and celery, and cabbages have been shown to contain a large number of ty- phoid baccilli. In some cases vigorous tubercle baccili (con- sumption germs) were found on the leaves of green lettuce, and even in celery. While cooking destroys large quantity of the germs, there are many vegetables which are eaten raw and which contain endless thousands of dis ease breeding microbes. Toma- toes, lettuce, cabbages, celery, radishes, cucumbers and other vegetables are often eaten with out cooking or being subjected to sufficient heat to kill the bacteria they contain.

VERY COOLING.

VERY COOLING.
 EDITOR NEWS: Elder Rice, in his report of the meeting that he recently held in DeView, as pub lished in his paper-The Gospel Missionery (so called) says: "The publisher of the Missionery re- gently closed a meeting at De- View Ark, after a siege of lit tie over two weeks. No visible results excepting that four men, all heads of families, were re- stored to fellowship by manly acknowledgements, and two took membership. The brethren at DeView have under way the only house of worship in Woodruff county where the gospel is preached in it's ancient simplicity and purity. The various sects have houses, but so for as l learned they are making poor headway in their unscriptural work. About all the sects can do is to confuse the minds of the people and keep them from knowing and obeying the truth, etc."
 Now, MT. Editor. for cool, brazen, and pharisaical egotism, 1 have never seen the equal of the above. From all such, good Lord deliver me. Think O. it. A little sect which withdrew from the Baptist church under the leadership of Mr. Alexander Campbell in 1927; which was never heard of in all the history of the world before that time, assuming itself to be the only church of Christ on earth and charging that the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and all other denominations, are only sects confusing the minds of the people and keeping them from knowing and obeying the truth. Let us see, the Campbellites have only one house of worship in Woodruff county. Elder Rice held a meeting in that for over two weeks with novisible results, excepting that four men were re stored.
 I speak now for the Methodist alone. We have twelve church houses in the county, and nearly one thousand members. At our meeting at DeView of nine days duration, which closed on the eve of the commencement of Elder Rice's meeting we had twenty professions of faith in Christ and sixteen additions to the church, fifteen by baptism and great many lukewarm and backslidden members restored to the divine favor. Now I ask why this diff ference between the success of our meeting and Elder Rice s? I think 1 have the answer. In our meeting we had our 4ibles and hymn books and we made our at tacks on sin and the devil instead of waring on other denomina- tions and we depended on the Holy Spirit to help us to preach Christ and him crucifed and to make the gospel which we
