Friday, the 1st, John and Frank

With the sun spots and comets

Providence that has ever sent
seed time and harvest the early
and late rains is still at the helm
and guiding the affairs of the old
world for the comfort and happi-
ness of his creatuerers. For our
part we are going to look on the
bright side. and believe that 1907
is going to be the bumper" year

DEAD BABE DRAGGED BY DOG

Helena, March ia CHASTITY
discovery was made on Cherry
street this afternoon, which has
greatly aroused the community.
A dog was observed dragging
an object across vacant lot near
Ben Riley's store. Impelled by
curiousity, some men went to see
what the queer-looking object was.
They were mortified on discover
ing it to be the dead body of a
newly born white infant.
The police were notified, and an
inquest was held, but no clue was
obtained as to the unnatural
parents or the perpetrators of the
crime. 1t is supposed the babe
was killed and thrown in some
alley, ash barrel or vacant lot,
where the dog found it. The in
vestigation was hampered by the
fact that it is not known what dis
lance the dog had dragged the
body or from what direction it en-.
tered the vacant lot where it was
first noticed.

GIRLS, TAKE NOTICE

Girls did you ever stop to think
that the boys have more self-re-
spect than the members of your
sex! There is not a young man
of any responsibility that would
be seen with a lady that was in
toXicated. You might search the
streets with fine tooth comb and
not find young man who would
lock arms and go promenading
with lady who is putting a cigar
or squirting tobacco juice around
on the sidewalks. Some girls have
no hesitancy in accepting the COM
pany of such charactes and too
many of them are anxious for the
companionship. heart and hand of
everything that wears pants. So
ciety will never be refined until
the girls demand of the dogs the
same purity of character that the
boys demand of the girls. Over
the heads of the young ladies hang
the possibilities of the greatest
moral reform that ever swept
over the country. Exchange.

THE CANNING INDUSTRY
Census Reports Show Arkansas is
Making Rapid Strides in This Line

Making Rapid Strides in This Line
The growth of the canning and
preserving industry in Arkansas
during the last seven years has
been something remarkable. Ac
cording to the latest census office
figures this industry between the
years 1900 and 1905 has quad
rupled. In 1900 there were but
1913, OBS invested in this industry.
Five years later there were more
than $124, 600 invested in the can.
ming and preserving business. The
number of establishments during
that time was almost doubled. In
1900 there were 81 ablishments:
live years later there were 81 such
establishments. There is only one
other state in the country whose
canning and preserving industry
has made more rapid strides than
that of Arkansas, viz, South Caro-
lima.
This state, with a humble start
of $35, 1926 in 1900, had in 1905
over 1902, 319 invested in this en-
terprise, and was paying total of
$101, IT'S in wages ever year and
employing 1,044 men.
Arkansas during the same
period employed Lose hands, with
wages amounting to $3S, 497. In
1900 only $21, $40 was paid in
wages to men, women and child,
dren employed in the canning and
preserving industry in Arkansas.
The percentage of children en-
ployed in this industry as shown
by the census office figures is de-
cidedly small. For instance, in
Arkansas there were but II en-
ployed under the age of IS in /
1905, increase of over the year
1900.
The apple forms the basis for
the preserving industry of the
state. Of the total value of pro-
ducts in 1905, 1925, 1874 represents
dried fruits and $3.50, 998 canned
yegeta bles.
The canned vegetable business
has more than doubled in Arkan-
sas during the years 1900 and
1905. Canned fruits are in the
background, with total value of
SIS, 1862.
There is no reason to believe,
however, that Arkansas fruit can
not be successfully canned. The
facts, nevertheless, speak for them
selves, and the state. although one
of the great fruit producers of the
country, is yet in the infantile
stage so far as the canning of this
fruit is concerned.
The capital invested in the pre-
serving and canning industry of
the state may be classified as fol-
lows: Total, Sill, 106; land, So
80; buildings, $37, 564; machin-
cry, tools and implement, 500, $40;
cash and sundries, S51,S62
