Resolutions of Respect.

To the consul commander, officers and members of Conway Camp No. 35 w. o. w.
 Your committee to whom was referred the matter of drafting res olutions of respect to our beloved Soy. Wm. L. Durham, who de- parted this life March 2, 1909, would beg leave to report:
 Whereas, Our hearts have been made sad indeed by the visitation of the angel of death, at the home of our beloved sovereign and i'll so doing called from his home the husband and father of loving and devoted wife and affectionate children and once again the aged mother is made sad as she attends the bedside of her dying boy, only so recently bereft of another son. "Lihu" as we familiarly called him, was an honest, upright citi zen and respected by all who knew him. He joined the Woodmen May 5, 1908, and was ever ready to do his part as Chopper ill the Forest, and to assist those who needed it by deed, word or action. Resolved, That we tender to his wife and his two little ones our heartfelt sympathy and in so doing we would not forget his aged mother. Oh what true devotion and love, words cannot, will not express them. But allow us to add that mothers true reward cannot be had in this life, but in the sweet by and by our tears will be stayed and nothing but love and eternal happiness will be the true mother s reward.
 Resolved, That the charter and working tools of this Camp be draped in mourning for thirty days, and that a page in our record book be set apart in "Memoriam ' and that copy of these resolutions be furnished to the bereaved family and that our county paper be re quested to publish same.

Needs Creek School Closes.

Our school closed last Friday night with an entertainment and a large attendance.
 We feel under obligations to those who furnished excellent music, and offer our sincere thanks for same. believe school interest and attendance were better this term than ever before. The fol lowing are those who made the most school money during the term: Luther Slmms, SIo 20; Clarence Woodruff, SIS 60; Tom mic Deberry, IS 35; Clara Wood ruff SI8'2o.
 Our exercises opened with an arithmetic contest among the larger pupils. We took the four principles of common fractions, as that is the prettiest contest work in the book, A prize was offered for the best, and Clara Woodruff came out best, with Willie Abrams, Tommie Deberry and Clarence Woodruff tied on second best, one tally behind Clara.
 I trust the pupils of Needs Creek will never neglect so great a neces- sity as an education

EDITORIAL
MAY BE DEFEATED.

The lower house on Tuesday
 postponed consideration of the
 Gam bill until Friday, and at this
 writing there is some hope that the
 house will refuse to concur in the senate submission amendment,
 thereby adopting the only means possible for the defeat of the pro- posed measure. It is stated in the
 Little Rock papers that the Gam bill will be permitted to die and another statewide prohibition measure introduced.
 Whether the Gam bill is passed as a submission or statutory law, if passed at all it will set back the cause of temperance in Arkansas at least twenty years. If it should become a law without the senate submission amendment it will, through the iniquitous provisions permitting the almost indiscrimi- nate sale of liquor by druggists, undo all of the prohibition legisla- ton which the prohibition forces have been years in acquiring. Ii 1t should be submitted i'll its pres ent form to a vote oi the people its provisions will have become thoroughly understood by the time fixed for the election, and it will be overwhelmingly defeated by the prohibitionists themselves. Yet the very fact of the defeat of statewide prohibition bill by the people will do untold harm to the cause of prohibition.
 The editor of this paper was dis cussing the Gam bill with one of the leading members of the house the other day-a member who is a true friend of prohibition. "I have been severely criticised for voting against the Gam bill, " said l this member, but I always 1 ask my critics, Have you read | the bill?" and the invariable answer is No. And many of them after reading the bill have agreed with | me that it ought to be defeated. This bears out our previous asser ton that the bill was being urged people who know nothing of its provisions.
 The drug store provisions of the Gam bill are practically the same inas those which made prohibition Kansas farce for many years. And ! now that Kansas has removed these provisos 2ooo drugstores are adver tised for sale ill that state.
 Let the legislature give the peo- pie an opportunity to enact if they desire a real prohibition measure. We believe that it will win, and if such measure is submitted it shall | have our support, but if it should be defeated, it will leave il force our present laws, and under them the sale of liquor will gradually but surely be driven from this state.

POWER OF THE WEATHER.
Willis L. Moore Tells How 1t Produces
Fine Americans.

The American people owe their in
domitable spirit of enterprise to the
ever changing atmospheric conditions
OF the United States, according to
Willis l.. Moore, director of the wealth
er bureau at Washington, who made
this assertion in the course of q lee
ture on storms and Weather Fore
casting" at Columbia university, in
New York, the other afternoon.
Mr.. Moore said that Mark Twain's
conception of New England weather
was not so erroneous as some people
imagined and that it was the constant
struggle against these shifting wealth
err conditions that has been RESPONSE
BILE for the wonderful crop of intellec-
tual men that has come from this re-
gion.
"All the storms of the country seem
to converge on the New England
coast" said Mr.. Moore, land the
northwest winds that prevail bring
down the invigorating fresh air for
both the physical and mental man.
They may be said to provide the back
bone for the American nation"

Arlie Latham Engaged TO Amuse Base
ball Fans From Coaching Line.
Manager John McGraw has adopted
an innovation in baseball which will
appeal to fandom throughout the Ma
tional league circuit and probably pre-
vent Merlxle and others from running
to the clubhouse before they ''touch
second" The innovation is the sign
ing of the once famous player Arlie
Latham as coach for the base runners
Fans of the eighties and nineties well
remember Latham as Cincinnatis
third baseman and humorist Both in
the playing position and in the coach
er's box Latham wore red necktie,
with his shirt collar standing up, Ia
addition to the other parts of his uni
form and spiked shoes. His flow of
humor in coaching and Kidding"
brought much enjoyment to spectators
of the Cincinnati clubs games, and
the Reds kept Latham long while
after he deteriorated as a player be-
cause of his drawing power as come
dian and humorist,
Latham will don the uniform of the
Giants and take his place in the
coacher's box while the Giants are at
bat and between coaching the base
runners and batsmen and getting the
goat of the opposing pitchers will
furnish an interesting sidelight to the
New York games.

of people, principally the younger gen
Grafton who want the old association
of vigilantes resurrected.
There are many reasons why British
Columbia should feel the Japanese in
vasion more than the American states
on the Pacific coast First, the Jap en-
tiers the Canadian province as an ally
of Great Britain with more assurance
and swagger than he ventures to put
on in landing on United States soil;
second, the British Columbia of today
dates practically, as regards its pros
perity, from the time of the mining
boom in the Kootenays, ten or twelve
years ago Attention was then drawn
to British Columbia as desirable field
for British emigration in way that
had never happened before. Crowds
of well to do Britishers have fiocked
into the province since the beginning
of the present century, and it is these
very desirable settlers who are most
bitterly opposed to the Japanese. Take
fruit growing, for instance. Unlike the
Chinaman, the Jap does not propose to

to be fruit grower on his own ac-
count and employ other labor, and,
while that is no doubt praiseworthy,
his Canadian neighbor does not like it
little bit, He proposes to go into
salmon canning, not as laborer, but
as Gamer on large scale, for which
he can get ample backing from capital
lists in his own country. He offers to
bring all the money that is necessary
and enough of his own countrymen to
do all the work, and the white man
does not take kindly to the project.
After a careful survey of the whole
North American Pacific coast there is
little doubt in the mind of the present
writer that in a settlement of the
Japanese immigration difficulty it is
the Canadian subjects of King Ed
ward who are likely to give most trou-

NEW IDEAS FOR COLLEGE LIFE
President Garfield Will Dine at Same
Table as Students.

President Harry A. Garfield, recent
ly installed head Of Williams college
and President Woodrow Wilson Of
Princeton announced at the sixtieth
annual dinner of Williams college, held
at Delmonico's in New York city the
other night, several policies calculated
to make stir in college life.
President Garfield told the $50 VIII
liams alumni at the tables that he in
tended to eat his meals among the
students Of the college in the new din
ing hall which is being completed in
the new dormitory in the Berkshire
quadrangle. He added that he was
going to make as many members of
the Williams faculty as he could dine
there also.
I'VE won't dine at a high table
apart, either" he added, willie the
diners cheered. wen dine at the
same table as the students"
President Wilson, who followed
President Garfield, said that he agreed
with President Garfield, but that the
latter hadn't, in his opinion, said
enough.
sour problem is not merely to help
the students to adjust themselves to
world life,'' he said. "Our problem is
to make them as unlike their fathers
as we can. Their fathers are special
ized persons. The problem of the col
lege faculty is to generalize the young
er generation all over again.
'Take Abraham Lincoln, for exam
pie. He couldn't have been born in
the present city of New York. He
would have fought New York. Any
one who thinks New York today
doesn't think American This city
doesn't make generalized Americans,
and that is just the kind Of Americans
that the American universities must
make. Our colleges are not doing this
today.
Colleges must not be mere country
clubs in which to breed up leisure
class. / don't blame the leisure classes
for doing wrong. If belonged to a
leisure class I would try to see how
near could come to getting into jail.
College must make students of its
young men. l don't give shell of corn
what they study. But they mustn't be
id1e''
Both President Garfield's and Presi-
dent Wilson's remarks were frequently
interrupted by applause and cheers.

Fell from SCaffOld
and Injured his Back

Thirty years ago James c. Lee of 400
9th ST., S. E. Washington, D. c. fell from
scaffold and seriously injured his back. In
telling about it he says :--"My suffering
was terrible from the small of my back all
around my stomach'was just as if I had been
beaten with club. tried all kinds of
plasters, beladonna, capcine and porous,
without getting relief, and bought so-called
electric belts, but none of them did me any
good.
One day, while working near my daugh-
ter's house, my back panied me so badly
that had to quit. went into the house
and lay down for ease. My daughter had
bottle Of Sloan's Liniment in the house and
she rubbed my back well with it and gave
me some to take home. l used six and a
half bottles of SIoan's asc. Liniment and can
do as much work now as any man in the
shop, although / am sixty-seven years old.
] would not be without SIoan's Liniment for
any consideration and recommend it to any
one suffering pain.

The government Is considering a
scheme for herding out 1900 Angora
goats on the bush covered foothills of
California to eat away the bushy
growth and thereby protect the for
ests. The goats will be properly
spread out over an area and then
properly guided so as to eat away
lanes in the forests. These lanes, it
is calculated, viii be 800 yards wide
and will serve to divide the forest into
patches, so to speak, SO that il one
patch gets atire the flames win not
spread to the adjoining patches. The
idea was made public by the bureau
Of forestry in report showing the
advantages Of the plan.

GREEN PAINT BEST FOR HENS
NewfeId IN. NJ Man Finds Summer

NewfieId IN. NJ Man Finds Summer
Color Makes Them Lay More Eggs.
William H. Brown. down Newield
way, near Ithaca, N. Y, has discover
ed that light green houses make the
best kind Of environment for hens, be-
cause they lay more eggs when the
henhouses are painted that color.
Brown, who has experimental with
the effects Of colors on hens for some
time, says he finds that his flock OF
hens lay from one to three eggs more
day since he put the green paint on
the henhouse. He noticed no percepti-
BILE change when other colors were
tried.
The color theory is that the hens
should have the same color scheme in
their winter environment as nature
offers In spring and summer.
