Marriage of the Future.

The industrial conditions of the mod

often prevent marriage. Since "the.

marriage, it looks as though the situa.

the higher is the grade Of love and

A HOMEOPATHIC CURE !

The log cabin Democrat., 1909-03-17
SAID TO BE NOT
 CONSTITUTIONAL

Little Rock, Ms rch I1.-There is one bill now on the hands of the House which will be permitted to die natural death. It is one providing for the creation Eigh- teenth judical district to be com posed ot Montgomery, Polk and Scott counties. The reason for the defeat of this bill is because it can not be done under the present con stitution of the state. The consti- tufion provides that any person charged with crime in a circuit court of district, shall have the right to change of venue to the other county of tue distlict. Ti ( formation of this proposed Eigl- teenth district would leave Sebas- tian county alone to form a district. This county now has two districts Of the circuit court, one in Fort Smith and the other governing the territory outside of the Fort Smith township, with court in Green wood. The Supreme Court has already rendered an opinion on a case which went up from Sebastian county some years ago that the change of venue from one court to the other in Sebastian county was not the same as change of venue to another county of the district, consequently, under the constitu- ton, Sebastian county could not be made into district all by itself.

DEMONSTRATION
 AGENT IS HERE

Assistant State Agent Mason Snowden, whose present head quarters are at Shreveport, La, is in the city conferring with Special Agent J E. Rogers in regard to the demonstration farm work in this county. On account of the increasing importance of the work MT Snowden was recently appoint ed to assist State Agent J. A. Ev- ans ill supervising the work of the various local and special agents. MT. Snowden expects to have Lit tie Rock made his headquarters in the near future and will be ire quent visitor to this county.
 MT. Snowden seemed to be much pleased over the interest manifest ed in the demonstration work in this county. The employment of a special agent to devote his en- tire time here, said MT. Snowden, lis the finest investment your county ever made. Sooner or la ter the farms of your county will be infested with the boil weevil, as that insect which has wrought such havoc farther south is grad ually working its way northward ande astward. But by applying in telligent and scientific methods to you. system of agriculture in ad- vance, you will be many times better prepared to meet tbe ravages of the boil weevil when it comes In addition to this, our demonstra- ton agents are endeavoring to per suade the people to raise their own supplies at home, and this will it self do much to reduce the loss oc- casioned by poor cotton crop.

 ed by the Governor

Little Rock, March I7.-Special. Every legal obstacle has now been removed and in the future all voters will have to possess poll tax receipts, or they can be denied
 the privilege of voting. Late yes
 terday afternoon Governor Dona- ghey issued a proclamation declar- ing Amendment No. 9 part of the constitution of Arkansas. The adoption of the amendment at the last general election was reported to Secretary of State Ludwig several days ago, but the proclama- ton was not issued until yesterday.

 Pence & Rogers Props

George R. Mann and the present commissioners the Patterson bill provides that the differences be- tween the state and the contractors shall be settled by board compos- ed of the two federal judges in Arkansas and the chief justice of the Arkansas supreme court, as recommended by Governor Dona- ghey i'll his inaugural address. It also provides for the organization of a new board of commissioners ta be appointed by the governor to complete the building.
 The passage of the bill will be regarded as a great victory for the administration, as it was in the senate that the greatest opposition was expected. Friends of the bill feel confident that it will pass the house of representatives by good majority. The fact that it passed the senate before the report of the expert engineers, which is expected to be adverse to the contractors, Is also regarded as significant. This report will be in the hands of the house committee on the state cap itol by the time the Patterson bill reaches the house

S327 RAISED

St. Patrick's S Day.

Probably a majority of those who are today celebrating St. Patrick's Day" are imbued with the notion that St. Patrick was an Irishman and that this is an ami versary of his birth. But those who think so are wrong. St. Pat rick was not Irish and although it is highly probable that he had a birthday history fails to record the date. And his parents didn't call him Patrick. Ireland was St. Patrick land only by adoption and by right of evangelical con quest. St. Patrick may never have driven the snakes and toads out of Ireland, as tradition says he did but he certainly did drive out organism, so that for centuries after his death the country was known as Island of the Saints. "
 This day is the anniversary of the founding of the first church ill Ireland, at Saul, near Stanford Laugh, County Down, Ulster, on March Y, 465, or I444 years ago today.
 He was born in Scotland sup posedly in 372 and his baptismal name was Succat. He was taken to Ireland when IS years old as a captive and slave of King Dalara- dia, in which condition he remain ed for seven years. He learned the Irish language and customs. He went to Gaul later and became a priest and bishop taking the name of Patriots upon his ordina- t.Ja: Rc.isteF returned to Ireland and after completing his litework there died at the place where hi: first church was founded, his good works living in the memory of the Irish until this day.

The Dry Sand Trick.

a very clever trick often seen in In
Ola Is the following: 1t is known as
the dry sand trick" The faker brings
forward pail, which he proceeds to
iii with water. He then shows some
ordinary sand, quite dry. To prove
its dryness he takes up handful and.
blowing sharply upon it. scatters it in
all directions. He then takes up an
other handful and drops it into the
water. We can all see it lying in the
bottom of the pail under the water.
Next, showing his hands empty. he
places one in the pail and brings out
a handful Of the sand. Blowing upon
1t, It still scatters in all directions.
showing it to be as dry as ever. This
Is repeated several times until all the
sand is again extracted. This clever
trick is performed in the following
manner: Fine, clean sand Is selected,
washed carefully in hot water several
times and dried in the sun. Some of
this sand is then placed in a frying
pan with lump Of fresh lard and is
cooked until all the lard is burned
away. The result is that every parti-
