 Pleasant Plains is an ideal inland town, being controlled by excel lent citizens. They have an ex- celent high school and a very fine Sunday school. The high school has, in the course of two or three years, turned out nineteen teachers, the most of whom are church workers.
 The good people remembered us in a substantial manner, which was much appreciated. May the blessings of God rest upon them.

LINCOLN ON LIQUOR TRAFFIC

The liquor traffice is a cancer in society, eating out it's vitals and threatening destruction, and all attempts to regulate it will ag- gravate the evil. There must be no attempts to regulate the cancer; it must be eradicated, not a root left behind, for until this is done, all classes must continue in danger of becoming victims of 2 strong drink"

ARKANSAS DEAF-MUTE INSTITUTE
State Free School For Deaf Child rem Will Open Wednesday,
 October 2nd

Little Rock, Sept. 14.-The Ar kansas Deaf Mute Institute will open Wednesday, October 2. This is a free school for all deaf child ren of sound mind in the state; not an asylum for the feeble minded, crippled or infrm. Every good citizen ought to see to 1t that the parents of deaf children in his neighborhood know of the school and urge them to take advantage of it's privileges. It is an educa- tional institution of which every citizen should feel proud. Il is doing a noble work for these afflicted children.
 The public schools are free to the hearing. This school is free to the deaf. The parents of deaf children who have kept their chil dren away from school have rob- bed them of the privileges justly due them. This is the only place in the state where they can be taught and to leave them unedu- eated is dangerous. Educated, they are support to the family and society: uneducated, they are usually burden to both. Parents ought not to let a mista ken idea of love and dread of seperation drive them to make the lamentable error of keeping their deaf chil- dren at home.
 The Institute has 23 teachers in the school proper and 9 instructors in the trades and professions Last year 299 pupils attended this school. You send your children to school untrained and they send them back as educated Workmen. There are physician, aurist, den- tist and two nurses who are paid regular salaries to look after the children: four women who are con- stantly with the girls when they are not busy at lessons, one of them to go through the dormitory. every half hour at night and see that the little ones are covered and comfortable and a man and a Wo- man to be with the boys, the wo- man to be with the little boys.
 Besides the common chool branches, the following trades are taught.
 To the girls--Dress- making tailoring, cooking, house-work, fancy needle work, basket-weav- ing, typewriting, bookkeeping and art.
 To the boys-Printing, painting, cabinet making, turning, carpen- try, paper-hanging, clustering, tailoring, harness making, shoe making, typewriting, bookkeep- ing and art.
 The buildings are most beauti- fully situated on the highest hill near Little Rock, making good health certain.
 Everything is free to the deaf, except clothing and railroad ex- penses, and even that is free to those who are too poor to pay it.
 Arthur G. Mashburn is the sup erintendent and will furnish any information in regard to the school up request.

TEXAS COTTON CROP IS SHORT
Former Arkansan Writes of the Crops and Drops Few Hints
 to Farmers Union
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
 AS most of The Journals read CTS are, perhaps, like myself, in- terested in hearing occasionally from other states, especially the cotton states, 1 will give you few sketches from Texas
 Cotton is, of course, the chief crop in this state, but if :, all re- ports are true, Texas is without a chief this year. From what I hear, cotton will make, on an aver age, about q bale to every nine or ten acres. Between the dry wealth CT and the Weevil the cotton crop has been left very slim. We have some corn, but fruit is a total fail ure. Our gin has put up 126 bales and the seasons run is about half over. Last year the same gin put up 4,000. If you Union men and others will do as we are doing, store 1t away in your warehoue, you will have no trouble in get ting 15 cents, or even more for your cotton this year We are now offered 139 to 14 cents, but we are all holding, and 1t all goes in the warehouse unless we get 15 cents. We are aware that efforts are being made to bust the Union, but 1t only makes us stick the the closer together out here.
 If the world knew what it has cost to produce a bale of cotton this year 1t would say we were fools to sell for less than 20 cents.
 Cotton growing and ignorance go hand in hand, for no cotton farmer can ever educate his chil- dren. Figure out the value on an education, then count your chil- dren and see what you have lost.
 Did you ever notice how the average farmer peddles out his cotton on the street, like it was auction goods and must go at some price? Mir. Farmer, for your own sake, quit this! Dump 1t off in your warehouse and if you have to have money draw some on it on your warehouse check.
 You know the farmers are con- sidered fools, but as 1 said they are raised in the cotton patch, schooled in the cotton patch and graduated in the cotton patch. But now comes the Farmers Educa- tional Union, not so much to teach him how to raise cotton, but how to look after his own interest and how to best dispose of his cotton after he has raised it.
 There is one thing sure; if you want to make a success, keep out of debt. If you cant make a big crop without going in debt, then make little one. If we would all do this we would get a big price for 1t and the little crop would bring us as much money as the big one. Success to the Journal.

SHARK ATTACKS BATHER.
Fireman's Experience That Turned
His Hair From Black to White.

from the San francisco Chronicle.
The arrival of the big steamer Arizonan
brought a narrowing tale of q bat
tie between Frank Fonda, a member of
the crew. and a shark in the waters at
Salina Cruz, in which the shark with its
teeth tore the forearm almost off the I'M
fortunate sailor. Three fingers were ground
IN the massive jaws of the big fish, while
Fondas right foot was almost severed
The tragedy occurred on hot day while
the Arzonan was lying at Salina Cruz.
About forty members of the crew went in
bathing among the breakers. Fonda's COM
panions observed him waving his arms
wildly in the air as If to beat Off something
and then sink beneath the waves They
thought. however. that he was playing the
drowning Joke and laughed.
Soon the water where Fonda had been
swimming became dyed blood red and the
mans companions secured a boat and put
spot where the blood colored the water
there was q swish and the shark, coming to
the surface rolled over, displaying its gilt
tering belly. In the jaws the men could
plainly see a piece Of Fonda's foot. Two
Of the men beat the shark of with oars,
and then diving brought to the surface the
mutilated body Of the fireman.
He was taken ashore and was found to be
still living A litter was made upon which
p.tal He Is now at the hospital at Saina
Cruz fighting between lite and death. His
hair had turned from jet black to white.
1t Is expected that he will lose his right foot
and several Of his fingers. The shark
measured ten feet in length.

A YOUTHFUL FINANCIER
Oklahoma Boy Of Twelve Tells How
he Earns So a Day.

From the Chicago Daily News. y
A twelve-year-oldb boy is earning Sc a day
out in Clinton. O. T. number of Chicago
boys are preparing to follow his genuine
"get-rich- quick method. This Oklahoma
boy sells chicken sandwiches and other
home prepared delicacies to passengers on
the Rock Island trains that pass through
the town. That is what these embryonic
financiers of Chicago are planning to do.
The Clinton boy whose name is Earl Sim
mons. pursues his lucrative work with the
aid of his younger sister, Edith. Following
is the story of his meteoric business career
as he told 1t to the tourist from Chicago:
Yes l have done much better than I ex-
pected. How did I come to start? Well
let's see. I started with 40 cents and make
an average of Sc day now. We came here
from Douglas. Kan. a year ago. Father
was carpenter but wasn't doing very we'll
just then as we were strangers here. One
day I was down at the train here and no.
ttced that the people were hungry and that
there was no eating station like 1 had seen
in places as came down here on the
cars / had 40 cents l had saved up and
ran uptown and bought a quarters worth
of cooked steak and IL cents worth of
buns and ran back and sold them all.
kept that up all day and went home with
50. That night l got two chickens-that
cost me 80 cents-and mother cooked them
and next day I made 81. Next day l got
six chickens and sold 1t all
Since that time l just kept on getting
what l thought I could sell Just like am
now. 1 saved the money until got enough
and then l bought two lots llera in town
Then l bought some furniture and watch
and chain for mamma. Then father drew
up the plans and we built Il house Father
built it and / paid for it and we live in It,
We have five rooms downstairs and two
rooms upstairs We were, Offered 81 800 for
1T before it was finished. Now we are
building greenhouse and a cistern.
Il am twelve years old and sister is 60
ing ten. She makes the sandwiches and
brings them to me here and do the selling
! don't think the selling would be good work
for girl; the crowd would run over her.
