 Buffalo Chats, Four Wire Fence Petitions and White County Annex are all the go now. But wait and see whether this is dem. ocracy or plutocracy; whether the will of the masses or the classes.

 Dr. Norton, the well known entertainer, will be at Wherry's Hall, McCrory on next Monday and Tuesday night, April 9th and Eth. We we'll remember the Doctor. He was here little over two years agoand not with stand ing the bad weather highly en- eltained the people of McCrory and surrounding country. The Doctor is q jolly man, with an excellent voice and keeps the crowd spell bound from S tart to finish. We very wildly recall the Walk on Minlo, the Isle of Patmus, the head waters of the Arkansas River, the Eruption of Vocanoes, Rock of Ages etc. It was an intellectual feast and everyone should take advantage of this opportunity.

If it was left to the farmers of Wood ruff County, 1 mean the renters it would be like Cras Buchanan hustling gentlemen of White County, yes come back goose egged. would just like to shake hands with every man in White County that refused to sign that petition. I can name one man that carried that petition around that was opposed to the four wire fence, he did not ask me to sign it. I asked him why he didn't. He said he knew bet ter. Yes he did and it was we'll he did too. 1 will never give a man a stick to crack my head.

Dear Editor:-
 The first Class Rush in the History of the University of Arkansas occurred this morn ing between the Seniors and Juniors.
 When some twenty Juniors made rush to take the flag of the Seniors, which had been placed upon a telephone pole, on the campus during Chapel exer- cizes.
 Notwithstanding the fact the Juniors made a noble eff fort to pull it down, which was a wrestle and tumble for over an hour, not evena man was cerious- ly hurt, in fact only few were mad at the end of struggle. The result was a holiday for Juniors and Seniors and grand receptions at night.
 Some think the fraternity men caused this rush merely to recon cile the fraternity men and those opposed to fraternities.
 The Legislative Com mittee has just returned to Little Rock after an investigation of the Uni versity. While the Legislative Committee was herea Committee from both sides, that is, those opposed to and those in favor of fraternities, were up before the Legislative Committee and made known their wishes concerning the prohibiting of fraternities in the University.
 This Committee from the Legislature consisted of nine men, of this number five were opposed to fraternities, three were on neither side and one for fra ternities.
 The thing we want to see is that the Legislature do her duty in regard to the equal rights of all Students in this University.
 A University supported by the people of Arkansas anda Univer- sity for the people of Arkansas and not for an individual class bound together under fraternity paths.
 And if there is any onet to whose ears this may chance to fall and is concerned about UniverSi- ty for the people and happen to have any influence in the present General Assembly, then if they would help the people of Ark ansas, they should use it to the best advantage.
 If the people of Arkansas wish the fraternaties out of this U- niversity, while the Students do say they ought to be out, then it is for those in favor to say they shall be out. Then, and not uutil then can they be rooted out of this Place of Learning, and then her banner will be unfurled to the world
 Yours

FEED CALVES COD LIVER OIL.
Young Animals Said to Make Great
Gains on This Kind of
NOurlshment.

An attempt is being made to SUBJ
stitute cod-liver oil for the natural
fat of milk in feeding calves; accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record. Milk
contains, as is generally known, all
the nutrients necessary for the full
development of young animal life. III
one of these elements is removed 1t has
to be replaced with substitute Of like
kind in order to insure thrifty devel-
opment. Butter fat and cream, of
course, are the most highly priced and
valuable of dairy products and some
resourceful individual suggested that
these might be extracted by pressing
the whole milk through a separator
and their loss be made up to the calf
by adding an equivalent amount Of
cod-liver oil, another fat nutrient.
Experiments have accordingly been
in progress for some time at one of the
agricultural colleges in Yorkshire and
recent reports seem to indicate that
they are entirely successful. There
is but little labor involved. The COD
liver oil and skim milk is a cheaper
feed than the whole milk and the
calves appear to thrive on it. During
a feeding experiment embracing some
2s weeks it was found that the average
daily gain of the calves fed on whole
milk until they were weaned was two
pounds; those fed ON skim milk and
oil and continued on an oil ration,
pa pounds, while those which had been
fed oil and milk, but from which the
oil was subsequently withheld, only 2.1
pounds.
On Strengthening the animals no in
furious effects on the flesh could be
discovered. The daily ration that APP
peared to be successful was made up
of five quarts of skim milk and two
ounces of cod-hver oil. fortunately
the calves do not develop that aver
sion to cod-hver oil which is natural
to most human beings, but, on the con-
trary, readily become accustomed
to it.

ICE STOVES ARE IN VOGUE.
They Are FED with salt and WAN
Keep the House Cecil fn
Warm weather.


There'll be unalloyed joy for the fat
man this summer He won't have to
go around with wilted collar and
with perspiration pouring from his
face. No more will the irritating and
profanity provoking ''prickly heat"
make him feel as If he were being
slowly tortured to death by piercing
with cambria needles. Prof. Willis
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
has determined to put on the market
his ''ice stove" which is guaranteed
to make any homes cool enough for
a polar bear to live in with comfort,
says a Washington report.
The icepick will take the place of
the poker, and, instead of sitting
around welding palm-leaf fan, all
that will be necessary will be to throw
a couple of hundred pounds of ice into
the stove" Instead of going to the
refrigerator for one of the compo-
nent parts of high ball." you need
only open the door of the Size stove"
select chunk to fit the glass and pro-
coed as usual. Scotch and siphon wa
ter, together with tomatoes and let
tuce, may be kept together in the
stove
The 'ice stove" like all other stoves,
comes in all sizes. 1t is a big copper
cylinder, which is filled with ice and
salt. These directions accompany each
stove:
"If in bedroom and the tempera-
ture outside is more than LOG degrees,
put three pair of blankets on the bed,
chuck so pounds of ice into the stove,
close the windows and retire"
Users of the ice stove are cautioned
to keep overcoats and earmuffs where
they can be quickly put on. Don't
store in camphor at the bottom of the
trunk. No moths can live where there
| is an ice stove.
Don't go into the warm omen air
when frostbitten by the use of the ice
stove. Scrape some snow from the side
of the stove and rub ears or extremi-
ties vigorously.
Use the pick, which is sent free with
each stove, to break the ice in the
water pitchers every morning. A ham,
mer or an iron dumbbell may be used
in emergencies. but the pick is better.
Don't put mint and butter in the
same compartment in the stove. The
mint is often stronger than the butter
and when the latter is spread on hot
bread the flavor is often distastefui
even to those who like julips.
"All bottled goods may be kept in the
ice stove The tubular arrangement in
the cylinder is excellently adapted fol
keeping bottled goods, even after being
opened"
When tramps visit home where the
ice stove is in use, instead of being
made to chop wood they can be made K
cut the ice into cubes for the stove Ii
return they should be given their din
ner and permitted to cool off in from
of the stove.
Prof. Moore says that an ice stow
sufficient to heat a room IS by is can b.
bought for 5000, and that SIS worth o
ice will keep it going all summer.

h climax Of II Dinner In Honor OF
~ the Eccentric Artist.
At the close of the case of Whistler
against Ruskin, the former, finding
himself very much in need of rest and
recreation, decided to make a southern
trip. When he arrived in Venice his
American friend thought to cheer him
by giving a little dinner in his honor,
to which were hidden several friends
of the artist, principally Americans
n some few Italians. During the
meal there arose a discussion which.
left an opening for Mr.. Whistler tor
use upon his host one of those keen.
incisive, verbal thrusts peculiar to him.
which left wounds extremely difficult
to heal. The whole company was
startled, but the host merely smiled,
seeming to notice only the brilliancy of
the attack. Presently, however, the
dinner came to an end and the foreign
guests took their leave. Then the host
turned upon Mr.. Whistler and, in a
voice trembling with suppressed anger,
said:
Jimmie, do you know that you bru-
tally fnsulted nj tonight?"
"Yes," replied the artist t~houghtfully.
"Well," continued the host, II held
my temper while there were others
than u own countrymen present, but
do you know what I shall do if ever
you speak to me like that again?"
"What?"
It'll grab the nearest water bottle
and smash it over your head" 4
The rest of the company sat quite
still, horror and dismay in their hearts.
while their angry host glared across
the table at his antagonist. After a
few seconds Mr.. Whistler said in a tone
Of childlike innocence:
"Then I know what I'll do. I'll never
say anything like that to you again.

AND THE OCTOPUS WON
Bridgewater Merchants Could Not
Hold Out Against Standard
Oil Co. on Prices.

Some time ago the merchants OF
Bridgewater signed up an agreement
not to buy any more of the Standard
Co.'s oil. and it was understood that
the trust would be fought to a finish.
All oil was purchased for some time
Of an independent company, and ev.
erything looked serene. The Stand.
ard usually waits until things get
settled down a bit then the warfare
commences. The trust was finally
able to get one Of the merchants to
handle its goods and oil was sold for
five cents per gallon less than the
independent company would sell it.
The people got weak, as people will
in a fight OF that kind, and bought
where they could buy it the cheap
est. The same result will fOllow-in
a short time, after the independent
company goes out of business. the
Standard will resume its same old
price.
