 Springdale is an excellent point for the location of manufactures There IS an abundance of timber right at hand. such as oak. hickory, gum. there is some walnut, and wagon factory, or any klnd of factory to work up the fruit grown here-thOusands of dol lars worth of which goes to waste every season-can find here an invit- ing field.
 The town is badly in need of cold storage and electric light plant. While the country around Springdale is almost one vast apple orchard there are DO facilities here for storing ap- ples and they either have to be sold as soon as the picking time comes or else shipped to other points for stor- age A cold storage in Sprngdale. 1t is confidently believed, would have all the business It could care for right from the start.
 The town has population of about , }. 500 and The News believes that=the people would give substantial encour- agement in the way of subscribing for electric lights. Should these lines be read by anyone who is at all interest ed it Is to be hoped that they will at least come and investigate the field.
 Some months ago the town was laid off into an improvement district for the purpose of constructing d system of water works and work is expected to begin soon on the plant The town owns the property on which is situated large spring of the finest water in the world and here it is designed to locate the waterworks plant.
 Springdale sends out invitations to capitalists, merchants and retired business men everywhere and sollclts their attention. The residents of our town will always be found sociable and ever ready to entertain strangers coming into our midst with good in- tentions. They are anxious to see their town swell in wealth and popu- lation and offer every inducement to facilitate such a movement Come, and be factor Of our magnificent future
 BASIS OF THE TOWNS PROSPERITY.
 A good town cannot be built on wind, but must have the solid elements that support business and invite the investment of capital Tn it's makeup in order to be successful trade cen- ter. In this respect Sprin gdale is fortunate. What progress the town has made has been along legitimate lines, and the commercial growth is based upon the principles of supply and demand The prosperity that Springdale has enjoyed has not been, in any respect, the result of false booming. Being in the center Of broad and fertile country whose pro- ducts are so diversified that there is scarcely any time during the year that the farmers do not have some- thing to bring to market which they can readily dispose of for cash, the town has a substantial reason for it's existence.
 While grain, vegetables and almost every product known to the temper ate zone, grow well here, 1t is as a

fruit country that we excel all others and distance all competitors This section was evidently desig ned by na- ture for the production of fruits, and this is the home of the "big red ap- pie :" While some sections may pos sibly produce larger apples, no section has yet been found that can produce more perfect or more finely favored fruit. The soil and climate are ap- parently especially adapted to the culture of the apple. At conserva- tive estimate there are within rad jus of Sprlngdale more than 20o0 acres in apple orchards, and the num- Der of acres in orchard, the fruit from which is marketed in Springdale, will run away up into the thousands Some seasons more than DO cars of apples are shipped from this place to various points throughout the country most of them going to Texas. and ap- ples are packed here for export to =Fa- rope.
 During the busy season from E oa9 t9 5000 per day has been paid out for apples. and 1t is estimated that oHe crop alone has brought into this com munity over sl5o,090 This money finds it's way into circulation, and the merchant and meehanie-all share in the wealth that is brought into the community by the apple crop.
 Lands can De bought at from SIC to s100 per acre, according to location. improvements, etc. Apple trees can De purchased from local nurseries at $40 per thousand. It requires about sixty-nve trees to the acre, and they will begin bearing in from five to eight years While waiting for the trees to arrive at bearing age the land can be put to strawberries which will yield more than living to the thrifty and energetic person who gives them proper attention. After the trees begin bearing it is DO un- common occurrence for the grower to realize in one season as much as sl00 per acre, the proceeds from one crop amounting to more than the price of their farm. There is no surer way to win competence and lay by sum for rainy day than by investing in an apple orchard. As with every thing else an apple orchard requires care and attention. Don't think for moment that you can put out your trees and then simply sit by and watch them grow A total failure in the apple crop is unknown here.
 Of late years the people of this sec tion have been giving some attention to peach growing, which promises to be almost as successful and remunera- tive as apple growing. There is one advantage the peach has that is not possessed by the apple, in that they will begin bearing within three or four years after planting. Growers here have been known to realize more than Sl00 per acre from one crop Of peaches, sold in the orchard. The peaches grown in this section are marketed after the Georgia crop has been sold. and before Ohe Illinois crop comes in.
 All kinds of small fruits do well here but the strawberry takes the lead. There are at least 1000 acres of straw wberries within close proximity

By this means berries are shipped in car load tots in refrigera- tor cars. and go to Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa. etc.
 Rlackberries and raspoerries re also grown for outside markets. aud bring in considerable money. Nege- tables, such as peas, beans, tomatoes are likewise grown with profit.
 Although this is q fruit country par excellence, the fact should not be for- gotten tbat wheat corn. oats. hay. etc. are grown 10 abundance and with enough to supply home consump. tion. Wheat vii yield from l6 70 - bushels per acre. and in some in- stances has been known u yield ai- most aB bushels This an exception however Com yields an average If q bushels per acre aad=ls=af he quality
 The numerous streams af water, ex- tensive growth of corn. etc, make stock raising profitable From one to len ears Of cattle and hogS are shipped from >pringda!e every week. Hogs ana cattle bring into the country thousands of dollars annually.
 Eggs and poultry may seem d small matter te some. putin this section the thrifty farmers wife in some in- stances sells enough eggs and chick ems throughout the year to buy all the groceres for the entire family.
 As place of residence this section has no equal. We have no malaria, no chills and no mosquitoes Being at an altitude Of 1900 feet we have cool breeze throughout the entire summer producing a temperature so low, paratively, that sunstroke is unknown. The nights are invariably cool. The winters are mild, the mer- cury seldom reaching zero, and re- mains so but a short time. The rain- fall is always sufficient to produce good crops. The water here is the finest on earth. It is as soft as rainwater, and so cool that it needs no ice to make it pleasant to the taste.
 SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES
 Nothing speaks better for town than good schools and churches. and by these towns are usually judged. In this respect Springdale does not fear comparison with any town of equal size and wealth. Our public schools are entitled to rank among the best in the state There are two substantial two-sUory brick buildings. ln one of which is taught the gram. mar school and in the other tbe high school. although both buildings are owned by the district and both are public schools free to those living in the district. The high school build. ing is beautifully located on high ground ana with campus Of ten acres, furnishing the students excep. tional opportunities for athletics. In connection with the schools is main. tained very fair library containing about 500 volumes, one of the recent additions to the library being the International Encyclopedia, costing Ss5. .00.
 The total enrolment is over 300 and

 In manufacturing enterprises the town has a canning factory, owned and operated by home people. The building IS two-StorY substantial brick and store structure. The fac tory IS well equipped with improved labor saving machinery, and the building and equipment represents cash outlay of &, ,500 The plant has capacity of l5, 000 cans per day and during the operating season gi yes em- ploYment to about loo people. The principal pack is tomatoes and be- tween g. GOO and &, 900 is paid out to the farmers every season. growers realizing from s25 to s50 per acre from their tomato crop.

 The Springdale Roller Mills is one of the best in this section and has been in operation since 1880. The plant has capacity of 100 barrels per day, and during the busy season runs day and night. The products of the mill are shipped principally to out side points
 The only woolen mill in this section of the country is located at Spring dale. Besides regular custom work. blankets, leans, flannels, yarns, etc., are manufactured and shipped to all sections.
 In addition to the roller mil above mentioned there is also a small buhF mill.

eth not. neither is weary there IL no
searching OF His undeVtanding." -
Isaiah 40:2S.
The mighty God is tirelpss God;
He fainteth not, neither is weary
This is brave doctrine. that ureless
Deity attends humanity amid all Its
struggles and hardshlps, and attends
It to aid, soothe, TO cheer. TO purify, TO
redeem, TO save: Is the veritable Cos
pei which breathed in the Savior's
words and was eloquent In all His
deeds Of love and mercy. At the heart
of God Is infinite patience. His for.
bearance Is inexhaustlble. His power
and His pity never tire, He Ia never
moved from his attitude of grace. With
all mans rebel ways and thoughts. He
fainteth not. His aspect Is ever OF
love waiting to redeem and power
waiting to revive.
The miracle OF forgiveness, as II is
the greatest of all miracles, is a daily,
an hourly miracle--a miracle OF every
moment. God is ever blotting out sins
from His remembrance--never firing.
oh! | will tell you what II is like, II
is like the infinite, tireless patience of
the sea- The children ply their spades
upon the sands, to make work for the
sea. They heap the sand up, they dig
deep into It. Hundreds Of them disfg-
ure the hard, golden surface, and leave
their scars upon II; and then quietly
the old sea turns upon its course, and
rolls Its waves across the sands, and
every trace of scar Is obllterated, be-
comes as II II had never been; when
the tide ebbs again there Is no trace
upon the smooth, shining surface OF
the sand to show that It had ever
known disturbance.
Most of the great moral defects
which nations and causes suffer are
due to apathy People grow tired' OF
being good and doing right. Con.
stancy and persistence In the good and
the right are qualities very sadly to
seek. Oh, what we need Is sight
real sight--of this tlreless God who
fainteth not, neither grows weary.
/ adjure you to wait upon the Lord
and you shall renew your strength
There is all power for you In prayer
and fellowship with the unseen, And
you will rise from that communion a
new man, to mount on wings like
eagles, to run and not be weary, and to
walk and not faint.

THE WEDDING DIRECTOR.

Boston woman Pioneer In New oceu-
patton for women.
A wideawake woman In Boston has
found a new outlet for woman'a Rctiv-
ity by taking charge OF weddings, ac-
cordlng to the New York Tribune, on
the day OF the marriage ceremony the
bride and the brides mother are gen
orally too busy and too tired TO give
much attention TO the management or
details. As helper in this household
emergency the wedding director tills
long felt want The name of this plo-
neer IL Mrs. Nellie Blifilns and she
lives with her husband and daughter
on Boston's aristocratic Beacon street
Mira. Brifflns' method is TO get TO tho
house early and TO give her arst atten-
ton to the trousseau. She sees to II
that the dress. gloves and slippers are
Just right She then takes charge OF
the packing. The bride eats her lunch
con In comfort, knowing that every
thing she needs will be In her bags and
trunks, carefully inventorled In a little
book as to It's precise location.
Mrs. Britlins Ia at the church door
before the marriage ceremony, to give
the last touches to the brides gown
before the bride enters the church, The
girls mother Ia even saved from hav-
ing to see that the rooms are put In
order after the newly welded wife has

popularity 1t has attained. Most OF
her business, Mrs. Bllfiins says, comes
indirectly. 1t has grown on the prin.
ciple Of an advertisement OF a certain
merchant some years ago: "If you
don't like It, tell me; II you do like 1t,
tell others"
At first many people were inclined
to pooh-pooh the idea Of wedding d.
rector To-day, however, they have
learned that even to run wedding
properly takes some expert knowledge.
Mrs. Blitilns is a student OF design and
decorative art, as well as of the chang
ing fashions. Frequent visits to New
York, and occasional ones to Paris en-
able her to bring back ideas OF how
they manage these things in other
places. But more valuable yet are the
many suggestions her woman's wit and
her woman's taste enable her to add to
the convenience or the beauty of the
wedding.

That "Might makes right Ia a doc,

rent to believers in a republican form
OF government, and, indeed, TO all who
revere human liberty and abstract jus,
tice. Any defense OF the doctrine
seems at first thought to be subverslvG
of all ethical standards, There is ev,
erywhere among civilized peoples a
growing tendency to apply to nations
and governments the same moral rules
which have long been applied to indl-
viduals, and the result is, in the main,
to the benefit of humanity. The proc,
ess must not, however, be carried toe
far, for then II develops narrowness
Of vision Incompatible with the most
efficient craftsmanship, President
James b. Angel In his recent Phi Beta
Kappa oration at Harvard touched
upon some of the cases In which ma
tons cannot be governed by the ethics
Of individuals and In which. In some
sense, might does make right. To
most Americans the European con-
cert" represents the perpetuation OF In
justice, yet broader view presents II
In different light. Let it be recog-
lnized that the concert" has kept the
Sultan of Turkey on his throne, and
has failed to punish his misdeeds; that
1t has not given to Greece all that Il
desired or deserved, and that II has
done or left undone other things the
omission or performance OF which
would better have satisfied the unlver-
sal sense OF justice. Yet It must also
be recognized that It has preserved
the peace of Europe. and so performed
a service OF transcendent justice. In
America the Monroe doctrine involves
the use Of power similar to that which
the European concert exercises In the
other hemisphere. By what right shall
the United States decide what Euro
pean nations may do with the lndepen-
dent governments in South America
The answer is, by the right of eighty
or ninety millions Of people to judge
more wisely than ten or twenty mil
lions and to plan more surely for the
general welfare of all. This Is the
doctrine of the will of the majority,
upon which all republics rest. Hereto
fore 1t has been applied only to the
people of one city or State or nation,
Now 1t is beginning to be regarded in
the light of its applicability to the
community of nations.

The Blue LOBSTER.

''Is 1t losing color?" asked a visitor
at the Aquarium of one of the attend
ants, referring to the blue lobster
which seemed to him to be losing its
color.
no" was the answer, ut simply
needs busting off. That dark color on
its back is caused by a fine, velvet-like
marine vegetation that has settled
there out of the waters of the tank
and had chance to grow and spread
because the lobster here cannot well
keep itself clean.
PLENTY of Holsters have been cap
tured with barnacles growing on
them, attaching to them just as bar
nacles attach and grow on turtles and
on ships, and plenty of Holsters have
been taken with marine vegetation at
tached to and growing on them. /

But Holsters with such growth on
them would be most likely to be found
on rocky bottoms; on sandy bottoms
Holsters are likely to keep themselves

"If this blue lobster was free and on
a sandy bottom, it would bury itself
In the sand and rub itself in 1t, as n

and so keep its shell smooth and free

this lobster sand here, because If we
