In answer to an inquiry relative to
the way in which to tell the difference
between the edible mushroom and the
poisonous variety, the station replied:
"There are so many different species
of mushrooms, and they are so nearly
like the poisonous varieties, that it is
impossible for an inexperienced person
to detect the difference. Botanists do
not usually recognize any difference be-
tween mushrooms and toadstools. The
best way is {, learn to recognize GER
tain species Of edible mushrooms, even
though the number be few. A common
variety, known botanically as Agaricus
campestrias L. is not poisonous, and
by the following description you may
be able to recognize it:
"'The stem is cylindrical, or tapers a
little toward the lower end. Near its
upper end is sort of collar, usually
termed ring which encircles it.
This is very delicate, white like the
stem, and of very thin, satiny texture.
The circular, expanded disk into which
the stem fits is called the cap The
surface is sometimes white, although
sometimes brownish, and usually COW
cred by a thin layer of delicate threads.
The flesh or inner portion is more com
pact, and is white also. Numerous thin
plates, or 'gills, are on the under side
of the cap, which radiate from near the
stem to the margin of the cap. When
the plant is very young the gills are
first white, but soon become a dark,
pink color, AID in age changes to dark
brown. Tho substance of the stem il
l.. - ba hut or
is not really hollow, though in some in
stances there are slight indications O
it. This mushroom will be found
sod, where shade is plentiful.
. cit is probable that the mushroom
responsible for a majority of the death
from eating this plant is the AmanitS
phalloides. By novice, it might cas-
lily be taken for the Agaricus campes.
iris. However, the former usually oc-
ours in the woods, while the edible va
riety Just described occurs in open
places. Professor G. F. Atkinson, of the
botany division of the Cornell univer-
sity agricultural experiment station, de-
scribes the Amanita phalloides as fol-
lows:
cit is pure white, and possesses an
annulus or collar, but what is most
important the base of the stem rests in
a cup-like envelope called the volva.
. The pileus in this form is
smooth, viscid to the touch and pure
white, as is also the annulus, stem and
volva though the latter is soiled by
particles of earth. The stem is nearly
cylindrical, tapering slightly from the
dubious base. 1t is hollow, or stuffed
with cnttonu mvnaIia1 threads The
gills are usually pure white, even in
age, and are nearly free from the stem.
When decaying the plant emits a very
odor. From Washington
State college, Pullman.

Solder May Get His Drin

Because the saloons of Little Rock
refuse to violate the state law which
forbids them 10 sell intoxicating liquor
to regular army soldiers of the United
States army without the consent of the
soldiers commanding officer, the con-
stitutionality of the statute is about
to be contested, according to the state
ment of Capt. c. d. Clay. of Fort Lo-
gan II. Roots. The attention of the
war department authorities at Wash
ington is to be called to the arid condi-
tions surrounding the soldiers of the
fort here in the midst of so much mois-
ture, and it is declared that the case,
if need be, will be carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States in
order to test the state law. The an
nOuncement of the army officer follows
the refusal of a bartender in a Little
Rock saloon to sell liquor to several
men of Capt. Clay's company. To sell
to them would, under the law, subject
the saloon keeper TO a fine of 500 and
the forfeiture of his license. Capt. Clay
pending the settlement of the affair In
the courts, has issued wholesale per-
mission to his soldiers to get all they
want to drink.

Monday from a visit to his old home

him a bundle of FODDER that was
pulled by negro slaves in 1887, just

all these years in the barn of Mr..
Floyds grandfather, S P. billiard, long
since deceased. 1t is as well pre-

poNAeHEY AS A FRIEND OF LABOR

Additional evidence OF the fact
that the charge OF unfriendliness to
organized labor preferred against
George w. Donaghey by that
Journalistic villain, the Argenta
News, are utterly groundless, IS
shown by resolutions adopted by
the legislative committee OF the
state federation of labor at Little
Rock few days ago. The resolu-
tons vigorously condemn the tao
tics employed by the enemies OF
Mr.. Donaghey and warn all friends
of labor to pay no attention 10 such
charges.
The resolutions in full are printed
below:
Little Rock, Dec. 81, 1907
Whereas, 1t appears that there
are being published and circulated
statements rejecting upon George
w. Donaghey, alleged to be signed
by several local unions; and
Whereas, 1t is found upon in
vestigation that Mr.. Donaghey has
never been put on the Unfair list
of the Central TT; d and Labor
Council of Little Rock one OF the
first bodies before which charge
of this nature should have been
preferred, we believe it Uni ust at
this time when he is a candidate
for governor to undertake to lnJure
his reputation by such tactics.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That We condemn
the publication OF the matter re-
fleeing upon Mr.. Donaghey; that
we do not believe Mr.. Donaghey
would do anything to knowingly
injure any labor union; that we be
lleve the publication was procured
for political reasons to lnJure Mi.
Donaghey in his campaign for
governor; that we especially con
denim the use of such methods to
iniure a candidate. Be it further
Resolved, That we especially
warn all friends of labor to pay no
attention to such charges, and that
