HANDLING OF

The Importance Of handling fruit
quickly is coming to be getter realized.
When fruit Is taken from the tree or
plant, its life processes are acceler.

handled with the least delay possible
Here, again In the matter OF quick
handling, cold storage has been an
important educating feature. Apples,

varieties, scald much worse than

small fruits is very much greater. In

purposes With small fruits particular.
ly. the effect OF decay is so disastrous
that any agency which facilitates the
quick and safe handling OF the crop
should be welcomed by the small fruit
grower.
The package is very important
factor In the handling as we'll as in the
marketing the crop. Types of packages
have been evolved which conform to
the nature OF the fruit for which they
are designed. Berries are packed in
small boxes or baskets, in which
the weight is so small that the deli
cate texture OF the fruit Is not in
iured, while large, firm fruits, like the
apple and pear, adapt themselves to
large packages, such. as boxes and
barrels designed for such usage. From
the cold storage standpoint. 1t may be
stated that fruits. which ripen quick.
ly like summer apples and pears,
should be stored in small packages
which permit rapid lowering OF the
temperature.
For such fruits, the barrel is too
large a package, retaining the heat
and causing the fruit to ripcn unduly
before 1t can be cooled down. II the
storage period is to be short an open.
package for such fruits HAY be OF ad-
dltonal value, though not necessary
II the package is small. For berries. a
closed package is best, provided the
fruit Is dry and cool at picking time

abusing certain citizen. The three men looked disgusted, but made no comment until the man went. Then one of them said The man he IS abusing is good deal the best man of the two" If you abuse your enemy in a senseless, unfair way, you do not harm him, but you do harm yourself.
 Everyone of ordinary intelligence knows there is nothing in luck; that if a man succeeds he must at tend to his business work little harder than his opponent, do a little better work, and be little more reliable. The same thing is true of your health; if you want good health you must take care of your. self. Youprobably know plenty of invalids who have lived long time by taking care of themselves. There Is a hint in this to those who are fairly robust. As we grow older the tendency is for the human ma chinery to become rusty, and finally wear out. If you would be healthy you must take care of your machln- cry. The doctors can't save you; you must save yourself. The better the doctor, the more experience he has had, the less he believes in medi- cine and the more he believes in practicing few simple health rules.

-------------------- ARKANSAS DIAMONDS.

If the Arkansas diamond fields are really of local origin, as Dr. kunz and Dr. Washington have been led to believe after considerable hesi- tency and care, together with ex- tended personal examination, then this is actually the first American tract where diamonds occur Fin place." This is the geologist's ex- pression for stone that lies in the precise geological formation where it was born, where the pure carbon, influenced by intense pres sure and intense heat, probably through the pushing of some pre- historic volcano toward the earth's surface, became forced into verit- able diamond crystal.
 This surmise being granted, here is the first instance on the American continent of the discovery of dia- mond in it's undisturbed natural matrix, and the first observation of true diamond field" which may eventually involve new American industry. These developments in Arkansas are the first calculated to lead Dr. Kunz to revise his state ment of seventeen years ago, made in his work on Gems and Precious Stones in North America the authoritative summary on this sub- ject: While diamonds are found to some extent within the limits of the United States, there is no reason as yet to suppose that they will ever be numbered among our i'm portant mineral products.

LABOR DAY.

Each year since Labor Day was set aside as national holiday, it has grown in interest to an ever-lncreas- ing number of people, and will prob ably m few years be as generally observed as the Fourth of July.
 The labor organizations of Mena and the Farmers Unions of Polk county are giving more attention to the day this year than ever before, and there are more places of business closed in the city. This is as 1t should be.
 In the large cities it is the custom to hold immense parades in which all labor organizations participate, and it is usual to cease work in almost every institution where it is not absolutely necessary to keep running, and in these cases every man that can be spared is allowed to enjoy days recreation and as- sociation with his fellows.

A Clearing Atmosphere.

The real causes of financial string ency both at home and abroad are pretty well understood by financiers and by others who bave followed the industrial and commercial ex- pansion of the world in recent years. The charge that it is due to the law enforcement policies of the adminis- tration at Washington looks exceed ingly trivial in the light of such a comprehensive and convincing state ment as that of MT. Jacob Schiff, the great banker, and the summary of voluminous reports made to a Chicago banking concern on the subject. The fact that such a charge would be seriously advanced only shows the extent to which the predatory capitalists would go in order to discredit an administration that has sought to bring to account all who overstep the rights that should be common to all.
 If the Presidents Provincetown speech had been deferred a few days longer there would have been no occasion for him to debate with himself the question of addressing the country on this issue, for in the meantime the atmosphere has cleared perceptably. It will be seen, how ever, that his reference to money stringency and its cause has some thing to do with the clearing. In the light of the very recent develop ments the foresight and courage of MT. Roosevelt once more command admiring attention. The financial situation will be left to it's own natural solution, but whatever that solution may be, there will be no change of policy toward dishonest corporations, no matter how strong ly they are fortified.

Searcy, Sept. l.-Plans are now on foot to construct a new $50, ,000 hotel at this place.

It now seems that the hotel can be constructed by local capital and that plans will soon be definitely formulated.
 As soon as sufficient money is iu sight, an org ganization will be effected, the company incorpor. d, and architects will be in. structed to prepare plans for the building.
 A hotel, such as it is proposed to make this, has long been need. ed here. The town has been growing rapidly of late, and the entrance of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad, now under construction, will mean, 1t is believed, a new era for this vicinity.

\ CONFERENCE ASSURED
All Five Central American Repub lies Accept Offer of United
 States and Mexico.
ARE A UNIT FOR PROPOSED PROGRAMME
The Next Step Will be For Mexico and the United States to Get views of the Officials as to The Time and Place of Holding the Peace Con ference.

Washington. Sept. 1.-Responsea have been received from Nicaragua Costa Rico and Salvador Hon duras and Guatemala to the mes sage of President Roosevelt, suggest ing conference of representatives ol the Central American states as a means of bringing about permanent peace between those republics. It is stated that these responses amount to an unqualified acceptance of the proposal.
 Late in the day Acting Secretary Adee who had been advised earlier regarding the first three governments was informed that the provisional government of Honduras also had ac. cepted President Roosevelt's proposi tion to adjust all Central American issues by peaceful means. President Davilla's acceptance was quite as hearty as any of the others, fact that gave satisfaction to the state de partment and to the Mexican charge, Minister Godoy. who has been inde- ldti6 que III HIS cilOTtS tO uiiu5 tuo matter to conclusion. The accept ance was along general lines. Had the Central American executives shown a disposition to be technical and to insist upon discussing in their notes the limitation to be placed upon the projected conference, the work Of the intermediates would have been much more difficult
 Late Friday night the state depart ment received Guatemala's reply ae. cepting in the most cordial terms the proposition for peace conference. The action of Guatemala shows that the Central American republics are a unit for the proposed peace pro gramme and removes any remaining doubt as to the success of the pre- liminary negotiations.
 The next step will be for Mexico and the United States to dispatch a joint note, or perhaps an identical note. to each of the republics inviting them to disclose their views as to the best time and place for holding the proposed conference It is prob able that this can be arranged so as to secure a meeting early next year either in Washington or the City of Mexico.
