CAR FAMINE ONLY
 PARTLY RELIEVED
Three Thousand Crates of Peache. Routing at Van Buren for Lack
 of Cars and Ice.

Van Buren, July 24.-The car and ice famine that has threatened the peach growers of Crawford county for the past three days has been relieved to certain extent. The Frisco has managed to move the fruit piled on it's platforms with but very little de- lay, but the Iron Mountain has been less fortunate, and more than 5000 crates of fruit are rotting in the sheds at the Oakland and Lees creek

 An ice trai rr7.t St. Louis that vas being rushed to Van Buren was wreck ed near Mulberry, 20 miles east cf here, last night. That not only block ed the track for several hours, but left the company without ice for it's cars Should there be no shortage of cars today, 80 cars will be loaded, making it the biggest day of the sea- son.

FOLK DIFFERS
 WITH BREWER
Governor of Missouri Answers Statement of Jurist With Re- ference to the Effect of
 TWO-Cent Law.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 24.- Governor Folk gave out the follow ing rather remarkable interview last night concerning a recent address delivered by Judge Brewer of the United States Supreme Court at Mill wauke, in which the latter criticis- ed the railroad rate laws of Mis- souri:
 ''The distinguished justice, Judge Brewer of the United States Su- preme Court said Governor Folk, in an address at Milwaukee recent ly takes me to task for objecting to the practice of the federal courts of arbitrarily suspending state statutes until their validity can be passed upon. He says: But suppose through such railroad laws as Mis- souri passed, the railroads actually lose money in carrying passengers and freight, will the state make the loss good to them? answer: Sup pose the Federal Court, after many years of litigation finds the rates reasonable and the laws valid, Viii the railroads make the loss good to the people of Missouri"
 "We are considering the question whether a federal court can declare a state statute unconstitutional If it does that it's right to do so has been firmly esq sablished, and it's ruling will meet the respect and obedience. But I question tn right of federal court to enjoin a state from enforcing it's criminal statutes until the court decides them good.
 "This suspension of statutes by temporary injunction, with the de- lays that any good lawyer can bring about in the trial, virtually gives to special interests the right to veto state Legislation that they do not state is constitutional of unconsti- tutional it should not attempt to tie the hands of the state officials from enforcing the law

 Companions Say Girl Is White.
 In the neighborhood of her home the parentage of the young woman is 'ooked upon as mystery. Young wo- men who have been her constant con- panions during her career at the uni versity, maintain she is 8 white girl.

TIMBER WASTE BY FIRE.
Ned Of Scientific Forestry IN the
United States II Very
Great.

A forest fire is 4 terrific thing to
fight when 1t once gets fair start.
Often 1t Is practically beyond human
control not long after its destructive
work begins. And 1t is 4 prodigious
waster of the natural resources Of the
United States. Probably no other
country suffers so much from fires in
forests, says the Cleveland Leader.
II the timber Of America could be
saved from damage and destruction
by nre the day Of the exhaustion Of
the forest wealth with which this re-
public was wonderfully endowed
would be indefinitely postponed. Fires
not only ruin trees ready for use. but
kill millions Of young saplings. They
prevent reforesting In many wide
areas which have beel denuded Of
their original timber.
The tragic news from northern Mich.
lsan and neighboring districts In Wis
eonsin Is a grimly impressive remind
er Of the havoc and peril Of forest
nres. The story Is old. II has been
tola svsr and ever IN ~ UHikse
ststss. Many thousand ifvss have
b<ss cut short. In the aEgrsgats. BY
hres IN the woods. Uncountsl mil
lions Of dollars worth Of extremely
useful property has gone up In smoke.
The nations resources have been
wasted
There is room for vast Improvement
In the guarding and care Of American
forests. It is possible to prevent
many fires which would be terribly de.
structive II permitted to get we'll
started. Others can be put out while
still small enough to control. Tho
whole wide held Of forestry is open for
progress which will mean much to the
United States.

The Thrifty Editor.

Not long ago an Eastern Senator
received a request from . country sdi.
tor In Z mountainous section for . biz
package Of seeds. He desired q good.
ly number Of packages. which were
forthwith sent to him. ~ II was sup
posed. for free distribution among the
farmers Of his vicinity. The Senator
had been in the habit Of sending out
big packages Of the seeds furnished
by the Agricultural Department, to
prominent men In different localities.
who disposed Of them where they
would do good.
Thus the Senator acquired knowl.
edge Of . new use for the generous
gratuity Of the government. II wasn't
long thereafter that letter came from
. rival editor In the same town, com.
planning that the nrst.named knisbt
Of the quill was using the seeds to
boom the circulation OF his paper. by
Offering packages OF seeds to those
who subscribed with him.-Washinr

An Early Skirt Dancer.

Kate Vaughan, who died recently in
johannesburg, is alieged by the Eng.
lish to have been the originator Of the
skirt dance. She was an all round
actress and had been on the stage
from early childhood, the parts Of
Little Nell and Little Emily, in David
Copperfeld," being among her pre-
liminary triumphs. She first attempt
ed her dancing in the ''tempestuous
petticoat" so long ago that few living
exponents Of the art will care to con.
test the claim that she was Arst. II
is said that the manager of the Lon.
don theater in which Miss Vaughs
hrst gave the dance cheerfully paid
q weekly bill Of $40 for the renewal
Of her skirts.
