WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVER
 HELD IN SPRINGDALE
EVERYBODY CELEBRATED.
Saturday, July }, was an Ideal Day. Largest Crowd Here in
 History of Springdale.
And it didn't rain.


 Saturday was an ideal day for Fourth of July celebration, and this, coupled with the fact that Springdale always delivers the goods" on such occasions, served to draw one of the largest crowds to town that has been here for many days, notwithstanding the fact that many people were kept away by the celebration out at ElmSprlngs. Notwithstandingthe large crowd, everything passed off in an orderly manner, with no disturbance of any character. Not a single arrest was made during the day. The recently enacted law prohibiting the sale of cannon crackers and pistols shooting blank cartridges. while rather hard on the local dealers who had stocked up on these goods rot knowing the existence of such a law, afforded much re- lief from these nuisances, which was much appreciated by the public generally. The ediet of the mayor thatZno fire works should De discharged on the main business street was also general ly observed, but there was noise and enthusiasm a-plenty, never theless. Most Of the business houses were decorated with the National eolors, and these, with the music and the big crowd, with everybody apparently on good terms with himself ard the whole world, served to make an inspiring sight.
 The program in the forenoon was rendered at the Auditorium about as printed in previous ls- sues Of this paper, probably the most attractive feature being the march of states, the states being represented by charming young ladies all dressed ln white. Dr. M. Bowden presided as chairman with grace and dignity, and the auditorium Twas crowded, with hundreds on the outside unable to gain entrance.
 The closing number of the pro- gram before noon was a speech by Hon. c. A. Hurst of Fayette- vile. Instead of the patriotic address that was expected, he de- voted practically all of his time to a defense of his record as a member of the last general as sembly, particularly on the ques- tion of prohibition. He rapped The News for it's gentle criticism of his opposition to the Gam bill, and also expressed his opinion foreibly of the Hong whiskered preacher" as he termed them, who had worn their coat tails off running back and forth to Little Rock while the legislature was in session, working to secure the passage of prohibition bills. MT. Hurst charged that these minis ters had actually done the cause of prohibition more harm than good. He said that "old man Abbott and "old man Millar" had tried to bribe members Tn the House to vote for the University removal bill, promising i'll return therefor votes for the prohibition bill in the Senate. Mir. Hurst said he opposed the Gam statu- tory bill for the reason that the Democratic platform declared in favor of a submission bill, and for the further reason that it's

The services which have been held at the Presbyterian Church for the past ten days, closed Wednesday night. The services were conducted by Rev. J. E. Wylie, and were both impressive and instructive. The extremely warm weather interfered to a noticeable extent m the attend ance and the meeting closed earlier than was anticipated on this account.
 There will be preaching at the Primitive Baptist Church next Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Fairchild of Urbanett, Ark, and Rev. Hardy, of Kansas, will con- duct the services.
 The w. H. NJ. Society of the NJ. E. Church, South, will have an ice cream social at the City park on next Thursday evening, July B. All are invited.
 Preaching at the Lutheran Church next Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock.

opiI passage would license every drug store in the state to sell whlskey. in which event were two men Tn Fayetteville who would ruin the boys and young men of that com munity. He said he was proud of his opposition 10 the measure, and was willing to assume entire responsibility for its defeat. Be- ing called out on the new assess ment law for Washington Coun- ty, he stated that he was not Senator Dill's campaign manager and had not been asked 10 fight his battles, but he Hurst be- lieved the law a good one and an improvement over the old law. From this 1t IS inferred that Sen ator Dill is the author Of the law in question.
 The afternoon was devoted to sports and contests of yar1ous kinds, and the days festivities concluded with a display Of fire works al night. The committee having in charge the contests hand in the following reports, showing the winners in the var lous events:
 Fat mems race, won by Lee Graham, S1.00.
 Sack rack, largely contested, won by Edwin Moore, S1.00.
 Pie eating contest, contested by one dozen boys, won by Lee Shadriek, $1 .00
 Potato race, won by Martin Bathrick, S1.00.
 Creased poie climbing, won by Ear Literal, S1. GO.
 For tallest man, this contest, though numerously contested, was won by Mr. Ballow, he be- ing six feet and SIX inches tall. S1 .0o.
 For shortest man, this prize was won by Brown Camden. as he autclassed all other contest ants, being only } feet and ll13 inches in height, S100.
 The ugliest man, this dlstinc- tion was sought for by several but was won by Wright Radford, as this gentleman has al others clearly outclassed, $l.00.
 There were three clowns con- testing for the prize but as they were abont equal in ability, the prize of $500 was divided equally as happy solution of this prob lem. They were Willie Swart- wout, Ross Stokes, and Carl Luper.
 There were no contestants for the other races.
 Respectfully,
 Wilson Cardwell

 l. M. Davis
 John Joyce.
 Taken as whole the celebra- ton was one of the most success ful ever held in the town, and the committee having the affair in charge IS 10 be congratulated on its efforts. It was credit to the town and 10 the committee, and we have heard of no com plaints of any kind.

If alLWool fabrics were the rule in mems clothes there
wouldn't be so much reason for talking about being sure of
getting Atwood clothes. But Atwood isn't the rule; most of
the mems clothes made to-day are made from fabrics with cot
ten in them.
This is true of practically all cheap clothes--we use the
word cheap to mean price; a suit at $40 or S12 or even SIS
is pretty apt to be cotton. But even when you pay $40 or S25
you can't always be sure of an-wool, because the weavers and
clothing makers are very skinful in the way they make cotton
mixtures look like Atwood.
The safe way, the best way, about the only sure way we
know Of to get Atwood clothes, is to get Hart, Schafner &
Marx clothes. They use none but Atwood fabrics you can de-
pend on it every time. Suits SIS to S25.

REASON FOR COLD WAVES
Scientists Declare Comet Has Caused
the Unreasonable Weather

All the freaks of nature which PEG
pie have been remarking lately are due
according to Edwin F. Naulty, to the
comet which he and DR.. Brook of Ho-
bart college announced to the world
three weeks ago.
This behavior threatens to become
worse until such time as the comet
shall pass the earth and its light
reaches US by recession instead OF by
detection as now. That means that
June will continue to be as little like
its old self as were the earlier months
of the year. BY July the transit ought
to be made and let the weather swing
back to normal.
Meanwhile, says Mr.. Naulty, watch
out for more marine disasters. The
two that furnished startling news last
week are only the beginning of a
series Ship compasses have gone
wrong from this evil, influence, Mr..
Naulty says, and mariners find the
guides that have always been their
main reliance running to all sorts of
errors. While the morning skies have
warned people to carry umbrellas, and
fog and mists have often justified the
warning, the local barometers have
held steadily fair.
