Head Camp F, Woodman of the World, will meet in Little Rock March 14, Is and 16, and 300 delegates from various DOT tions of this state and Louisiana are expected. The meeting will be of special interest, because 1t is expected that at this meeting Arkansas will be withdrawn from this camp and placed under sep arate camp, giving this state a camp of it's own. The law of the order requires that membership of 10000 or more shall entitle a state to a head camp by itself, and Arkansas now has about 15,- 900 members.

It now appears that Fort Smith will not be in a baseball league the coming season. Several days ago 1t was announced that a number of towns i'll that vicinity would join with that city in the organization of league that would have a salary limit which would permit employing first class players. Since that time several of the towns have decided to play independent baseball and to meet all corners as they have done in the past.

A Comparison.

Many men think that newspaper men
are persistent dunners. By way of
comparison, let us suppose a farmer
raises n thousand bushels of wheat o
year and sells this to one thousand per-
sons in all parts of the country, a
greater portion of them, say, 81 will
hand you a dollar in a short time"
The farmer cares not to be Small
and says, All right" Soon the one
thousand bushels are gone, but he has
nothing to show for it, and he then rea-
Lies that he has fooled away his whole
crop, and its value is due him in a thou
sand little driblets, consequently he is
seriously embarrassed in his business
because his debtors, each owing him
one dollar treat it as a small matter
and think it would not help much. Con-
tinuing this kind of business year in
and year out as the publisher does,
how long would he stand it? A mo-
ment's thought will convince any one
that a publisher has cause for dunning
sometimes. Exchange. .

LIGHT FASTER THAN SOUND,
Some Everyday Incidents That 90
to Prove This Fact.

Some Everyday ncident That 90
to Prove This Fact.
About n thousand yards from the
window where 1 sit Is n factory which,
blows it's whistle every noon. The
steam always comes from the whistle
some little time before the sound is
heard. Yesterday l counted three sec
onds between the time when the first
steam was seen and when the sound
of the whistle was heard. The whistle
Is heard when the weather is foggy
or clear, hot or cold, windy or calm.
1t Is sometimes louder than at other
times, but 1t always takes three Sec
onds to travel the 5000 feet from the
factory to my house.
We often hcar also an echo of the
whistle, which comes two seconds later
than the first sound. This Is the same
sound coming by a roundabout journey
5000 feet away. 1t travels first 1000
feet to a hill beyond and then Is sent
back 1000 feet to our house.
A few days ago / heard q band Of
musicians playing upon the street, and,
although they We're far distant from
me, the high tones Of the piccolo and
the low tones Of he bass horn reached
me exactly together, showing that high
and low tones travel at the same speed.
During n thunderstorm l noticed q
flash OF lightning and counted ten
seconds before the sound Of the thun-
der was heard. This showed me that
the storm was about 10000 feet Tor
about two miles, away. A little later,
however, the time between the light
ming and the thunder began to grow
less, and the noise of the thunder be-
came louder, which showed that the
storm was getting nearer. Finally n
dazzling flash Of lightning was fol-
lowed Immediately by a deafening
crash Of thunder, and at the same time
the shingles flew from n patch of roof
on n barn near by. 1t had been struck
by lightning and was soon In fames.-
