DOGS KILLED THE PAINTERS
Monarchs of the Jungle No Match for Flock of Specially Trained
 Domestic Animals.

An unusual sight was witnessed in Bbavnagar in the course of some native sports, says the London Tele- graph. Specially trained dogs of his highness the Thakur Saheb were let loose on two full grown partners.
 About 5000 people assembled on the maidan to see the event. The arrival of his highness with the Ma harani Saheba was the signal to commence the fight. When the cages were opened the partners slow ly crept out, but finding themselves hemmed in by such large mass of people they slunk back again and lay apparently watching for chance to bounce upon the nearest bystand- CTS.
 The dogs, however, on being let loose, at once attacked the partners in body, speedily overwhelming and killing them. It is said that the dogs were previously dosed with some sort of snuff that deadened their scent.

TOO SMALL A DOG.

A New Jersey man was excitedly relating to a friend the narrowing details of a burglary in his house the night before.
 "A most daring robberyw ex- claimed the outraged man. 'Tt was still early; my wife and I had re- tired; and Susie and her young man were in the parlor. Our dog was in the dining room. Despite all that that crook had the nerve to enter the dining room and rife it of every bit of silver we had. Not satisfied, he even stole the clock off the mantelpiece. What do you think of that?"
 "Well," said the friend, T don't see what else you could expect. Fido is only a watch dog, you know"

A SAVING MISSION.

A certain minister was deeply im- pressed by an address on the evils of smoking given at a recent synod. He rose from his seat, went over to a fellow minister, and said:
 Brother, this morning I re- ceived present of 100 good cigars. 1 have smoked one of them, but now Pm going home and burn the re- mainder in the fire"
 The other minister arose, and said it was his intention to accompany his reverend brother.

 MCCRORY WINS PRIZE BANNER.
 A feature of the forenoon ses- sion was the awarding of the prize membership banner to McCrory Lodge No. 273.
 This banner was promised by Grand Secretary Paul to the lodge in Arkansas which initiated the largest number of candidates on April, 26, 1908, and there was a merry race between the lodges for the honor.
 This morning Secretary Paul an- nounced the winner (McCrory No. 273) and unfurled a most beauti- ful silken banner suitably inscrib- ed with the name of the lodge, etc. and in a brief speech Secretary Paul presented it to Dr. w. E. Pollett, the representative of Me Crory Lodge.
 On April 26 this lodge initiated 59 members, which was the great est number for that night in Ark ansas.
 This plan was offered by Secre- tary Paul for the purpose of increasing the membership in the State, and the result of the contest was that 3,646 members were initiated in the lodges of the state on single night-April 26-Ark- ansas Democrat, Oct. 28. /

Hot Springs gets the 1909 con vention of the l. o. o. F. Grand Lodge. The City of Vapors won out in the contest with Little Rock by two to one vote, splendid tes- timonial to the good work of the "boosters" from that city.
 The matter of the location of the next meeting came up at the morning session today. Hot Springs and Little Rock were the only candidate for the honor, it having been conceded that with the won derful growth of the order in the past two years that only these cit ies have sufficient hotel accomoda- tions for the convention.
 LOCATION OF TEMPLE.
 The matter of the location of the temple was also taken up and after a lengthy discussion 1t was decld- ed to leave the matter of the se- lection of a site to committee of seven members to be named by the incoming grand master at the final meeting this afternoon.
 This committee is empowered to recieve offers from various cities desiring the temple, together with the concessions they will make to secure it and report at the next meeting.
 Up to this time Little Rock and Hot Springs are the only cities which have signifed a desire to secure the temple, but it is expect ed that several other cities will

Another Lesson for the Farmer.

The International Cotton Fedora tion, composed of manufacturers of cotton goods in Europe and America, held its fifth annual congress at Paris in July. Although this organization was begun in 1894 and at first pro- fessed to be for the purpose of en- couraging the production of raw cot ton in Europe and Africa, it was cer- tain that it would not stop at that. The main purpose of the federation is now made clear in the following resolution, which was adopted last month:
 Resolved, That whenever there is lack of raw material, or when the manufactured articles exceed the de- mand of any country, the adoption of short time running mills is the only real remedy; and that all asso- citations be requested to perfect their local organizations in order to put short time into operation whenever it may be considered necessary"
 Here Is a fresh object lesson for the cotton farmer While he talks sentimentally about his duty to grow all he can and supply the world with clothes, the manufacturer gets down to business and resolves that "when- ever there is a lack of raw material or when the manufactured article ex- ceed the demand" he will run his mill on short time No sentiment in the proposition to him. No matter that famines or floods have made the peo- pie too poor to buy all the cloth he can manufacture-rather than supply 1t at a lower price he will run his mill on half time.
 This is the system by which all in- dustrial trusts control prices. They curtail the output at the first intima- tion that the demand for their goods is not keen. The labor organizations are conducted along the same lines. Nobody, these days, but the cotton farmer, tries to produce all he can for market. And the farmer could be the most independent of all, If he would learn the lesson of keeping the world hungry for his products by limiting those he has to sell and raising full supply of those he consumes at home. Then a better system of marketing will supplement this and bring the prosperity the farmer deserves.

Farmers Educational
 AND Co., Operative Union Of America

It is wonderful how important the farmer becomes along about election time. This year he has even called forth the solicitude of the president, who has appointed a committee com. posed of college presidents with one editor to enliven things-this com mittee to inquire into the conditions of agriculture. The election will be over when the committee reports / The Function of Warehouses.
 am glad to see the boys presenting the proposition to store cotton at home and market through the ware houses. I hope some good ideas will be forthcoming. This is a very deep subject, my brothers, and you will do well to give it your best thought and not jump at some hastily concocted theory. Two things you must bear in mind: Shylock will always be well products that will enable him to levy a tax against them-$3, 100000 insur- ance on the Texas cotton crop is 9 sweet morsel. Money borrowed on cotton certificates is quite an adjunct, and is just new method of letting the other fellow eat your cake while you hold 1t.
 The paramount question with the farmer is, How Can Avoid Interest and Rent?" and with Shylock, How Can I Get Interest and Rent? When the farmer bulks or concentrates hii products in any commercial center, dependent on others than himself for protection as to its safety, this affords an opening for taxation-by the other fellow.
 If you don't expect to market all your cotton in one, two, three or four months, nothing can be gained by storing 1t in either your local or cen tral warehouse. We need ware house, however, in every railrad town. or central shipping station. Your warehouse should be large enough to hold say from one-tenth to one-half the cotton tributary to such shipping point.
 If you don't expect to eat whole years rations at one meal why cook 1t all at once? Do you want bread pan large enough for fifty when there are only two in your family?
 How many farmers do you think would market through a warehouse system if you could cut out from two to eight months storage and insur- ance? 1 know a few.
 admire an ard-wide Farmers Union man that says he will hold until the bagging rots. We need you very much. I was absent from my local three times in four years, and was sick twice. Never missed a county meeting. I know all the boys. But, brethren, we must be practical. If you cant carry the log roll it. If we have method the boys won't CO., operate under, fix one they will there Is more than one way to get boy to work. Look and see what you have butted your head against. Be sure you know. I am looking and listening al- ways. Fraternally-J. J. Deaver, in National Co-Operator.

aid in expressing all such acts, and call npon all good citizens to aid in protecting the rights of cit izens and the safety of property. l We believe it to be necessary to have the cotton ginned, since the farmer has no place to store seed cotton, and that the man who stops the gin is the farmers worst ene- my, since the cotton must be gathered before the bad weather, or a large part will be lost, and the man who destroys the crop, or prevents the gathering of it, is an enemy to his country.
 The spreading abroad of these reports of violence and intimida- tion are injurious to our reputation and productive of a feeling of un- rest, therefore we call upon all good citizens to aid in giving publicity to these resolutions,
 We also denounce the demand for the resignation of the officers of the National Guard. We have the utmost respect for the officers and members of the Guard and would not dispense with the ser vice and protection of the same, and pledge them our hearty sym pathy and support.
 Several addresses were made among the leading ones being those of Prof. E. l.. Hayes, of the Mo Crory School and R. c. Cody President of the Woodruff County Farmers Union. Prof. Hayes being an efficient educator and speaker wove beautiful words into his speech and made the same one we'll worth listening to. His talk was we'll delivered and his hearers received it with great applause.
 When Pres. Cody's voice was heard there was altogether a diff ferent flow of words being used by the speaker. Mir. Cody in his simple unblended speech gave his hearers his idea of a night rider at the conclusion of which there was great applause. Mr. Cody gave these internal unrefned clab- ber- -brained persons known as night riders all that was due them as far as speech roasting was con- cerned. He went so far asto state that If he was fortunate enough to get inside the Pearly Gates in the world beyond and there proved to be night riders there that he would at once ask for ticket to the oth- CT place. This of course caused great laughter but nevertheless he made grand talk and spoke his sentiments freely. The applause at the close of his address was an endorsement from everyone in the room of what he had said.
 Asto any trouble resulting from night riders in this section, none is expected as it is thought that there are not more than three per sons in the organization. The ginners have been compelled to cancel their insurance and of course are being guarded. The gins have not and will not close but will continue to gin every day.

The Breton is stalwart in stature and
stern and serious in disposition. He
has hewed his life out amid the serious
things and along the rocky roads. His
bronzed face looks austere, but beneath
his blue blouse beats a heart warm and
true. The primitive simplicity Of his
life and the intenseness of his religion
give the Breton short view Of the fri
volitfes of existence. He carries his
religion into his daily life and work,
and along all the roads are gaudy cru
cifxes, which the peasants never pass
without kneeling and crossing them
selves. 1t Is characteristic Of all these
Brittany folk that they mind their own

fellow countrymen.-Frank Presbrey In

This sometimes accounts for a great

''The oil which is considered best
for watches is made from the porpoise

a most disagreeable odor and have to
be treated chemically before being
used.
''The skeleton Of the fish, with only
the head left on, is hung in the hot
sun for several days and the oil al

volatile parts Of the oil are naturally
neutralized in this manner, and the
oil collected is said to remain fluid and

metal for as long as ten years.

and coloring substances to fall to the
bottom, after which the oil is filtered
