tLlte years ago they QeGlueu 10 come back to the scenes of their earlier years, and are now located at Sulphur Springs. When they were residents of Springdale they resided ID property which stood near where Judge Berry's home now stands.
 \ number of Springdale gem tlemen have formed themselves into company known as The Springda1e Glove Company. and purchased a machine for the manufacture of cloth gloves. The machine is located on the second floor of the Springdale Cash Dry Goods Company's build ing. The machine does every thing but sew the gloves, and it's capacity IS almost unlimited. The sewing will be done by women on ordinary sewing ma chimes. These gloves retail at ten cents per pair, and as im- mense quanti ties of them are sold throughout the country, at times dealers find 1t hard to get their orders filled promptly. It IS the intention of the Spring dale Glove Company to not only supply the local trade, but branch out into other towns wherever there is demand for the goods. Local contractors and builders report considerable activity in the building line, due partly to the greatly reduced price of lumber. A house that a few months ago would have cost S1, 100 can now be built for about S700. This would be good time to build houses in Springdale to rent. There IS always demand for them, and the more houses we have the more people We will have to occupy them.

She expects to do eonsiderabl inn proving on her residence property on Main Street, now occupied by Bob Miekle and family.
 Last Sunday was annual May meeting day" at the Primitive Baptist church in Springdale, but only a few people were present from out of town. It has not been many years back when this was Springdale's greatest day of the year, and people were attract ed here from all parts of the sur rounding country. Of late years, however, not much intetest has been manifested, and 1t will no' be many years until May meet ing" will be only memory ex cept to the members of the con. gregation who observe the GUS tom.

B. Y. Sherrod, who resipes out on Oxford Bend, was a caller at The News office to-day, and he tells us that the heavy rains of this week raised the river until 1t was within about fourteen feet of the floor of the county bridge.
 The highest ever known since the
 bridge was completed was eight
 or nine feet of the floor. The river never yet has been so high that water ran around the bridge, and 1t is going to take d second flood to raise the river so high that the bridge cannot be crossed.

Yards Still Inundated.

Long lines of cars still stand in the Missouri, Kansas and Texas yards in water up to their floors the trucks be- ing entirely covered. True, the water has receded from the upper end of the yard with its maze of tracks, but at the lower end, close to the electric plant, it is still from four to five feet deep. It can be seen where the water rose almost to the front of the Dallas brewery building, which is situated in almost the highest point of the yards.
 Here, too, there is considerable dam age although the building Is protected on the river side by the lot having been raised by fills to height where it takes an extraordinary flood to do any con- siderable damage. Despite this, how ever, Sam P. Morgan, president of the Dallas Brewing company, estimated the damage done the plant at $10,o00. It all came from water backing up through the sewers which empty into the river and filling the engtine rooms in the basement
 Many up- town business establish ments have suffered loss from the backing up of water from the extra ordinarily high stage of the river through the sewers into basements, flooding out the stocks stored there All day yesterday men with handpumps worked at several places uptown and today engines were put into service on the same work.
 Down on Water street. which Is the first street east of the river, several basements were flooded from this same cause, entailing a considerable damage. One of the Parlin 4 Orendorff ware houses the basement of which was flooded. was being pumped out this morning, with a big gasoline engine and a centrifugal pump, which shot a stream of muddy water from four inch pipe, back into the river rom whence 1t came. It was estimated that the damage to stock stored in the basement, consisting of all kinds of farm implements would reach 5000.

Our Common Protector.

Did you ever think that the govern
ment is a great obliterator of prize
schemes, premium games, adulterated
foods, etc? 1t surely is, and the time
is not far off when it will take hand
in the methods of selling goods, and
let it be hoped cut out such schemes
as coupons and the premiums in gen
eral. Fraud one way is just as bad as
fraud some other way. The lottery
principle involves the plan of making
a great majority contribute toward the
payment of sums to a mighty small
minority. The average premium
scheme works with more certainty. 1t
means that all the users of goods with
which premiums are given must con-
tribute towards paying for prizes
which only about 80 or 40 per cent. of
the users of the goods receive. There
are two ways of heading off the
premium deal: One is to educate the
merchants and the consumers to the
truth that the premium racket is a
plan that works against their inter
ests, and the other is to have the gov
ernment prohibit the plan. The for
mer is a hard proposition to handle,
and perhaps the latter is equally so,
but it is more certain and would be
more effective,

OUT FOR THE CASH.
Organizations Which Prey Upon the
Business People as Well as Others.

Now and then comes the news of
the formation of some neW-fangled or
ganization. Many of them are de-
signed to do away with established
systems of business. Most of them are
schemes devised by insincere persons
who think that they can make some
easy money through the work. Plans
proposed are of the most impractical
and visionary kind. Not long since
what was known as the South Dako-
ia plan was undertaken, and it in
volved a complete revolution of es-
tablished business methods. 1t was
proposed to have the backing of
Standard Oil interests to the extent of
$20,000,000, and with this great amount
establish supply houses in large cities
issue immense catalogues with the
names of merchants who would use
them, and supply all these merchants
with the goods listed. 1t was a bril-
liant scheme. Should such a plan be-
come operative and successful, it
would be the building up of NAM
moth monopoly to fight the retailers Of
the land or compel them to become
merely agents of the concern. There
is only one way to fight the trade
away-from-home evil, and that is by
educating the people to the fact that
the system is wrong, is unjust and con-
trary to economic laws; that the farm
er and the laborer who patronize other
than home enterprises is working
against his own interests. This is a
tedious process. 1t is an expensive
thing to do, and the only way it can be
done is by the liberal use of printers
ink, by utilizing the home papers that
are as deeply interested in the build
ing up of the home town and COM
munity as the merchants, the bankers
and as the farmers should be.
