best policy and he has assured the as

which will make his position, as we'll
as that of the association, absolutely
i~mpregnable SO far as racing in Amer

Is going to work out for the benert of
the sport ana to the advantage OF the

UNEQUAL TO THE OCCASION
prize Pupil "Fel Down" In Answer, and Great Was Teachers Dis
 con1fiture.

Charlie was a bright boy, with a good memory. He was the prize pu- pil in geography and physiology and when the school had any visitors the teacher liked to show him of. One day a member of the school committee happened in as the class was reciting geography and asked a few questions and received fairly ac- curate answers. When he expressed a desire to switch off to physiology, however, the teacher thought 1t was about time to show him something particularly precocious.
 So when he asked "Where IS the stomach located ?" she called on Charlie to answer. He did so with ready assurance:
 ''The stomach," he said, ''is sit uated just south of the lungs in a hole in the diagram"

That Village Out-Strips Conway and Beebe
 in Number of Clean-Up Days.

But Conway wasn't permit ted to enjoy the distinction long until Beebe's mayor came to the fore with the announcement that three days each year would be set aside as cleanup days, and he doubtless thought he had gone the limit, but this morning De Quee n awoke to find herself clean town but with no less than eleven clean up days ahead of her this fiscal year. Yesterday was the first of a series of monthly clean up days, the may or having announced that the first Wednesday in each month will hereafter be set aside for cleaning up the town and that the officers of the city would see that the days are observed.

May Festival Vetoed.

Little Rock. April 9.-Special.- -
 No May Festival nor Home Com ing Week is to be enjoyed in Little Rock this year. Mayor Duley and the c, mmittee of the city council to which this proposition was re- ferred to, have decided the streets of Little Rock are intended for bus mess, and nothing else will be per mitted on them in the future. The promoters of the enterprise offered the city all sorts of inducements tor the use of the streets, and had the names of several hundreds ot mer- chants signed to petition asking for the use of the streets, but the committees were unanimous that Little Rock had outgrown street fairs, for such this would have been with shows on the main streets, and the request was respectfully declined.

SAYS EVE CONFERRED RIGHT.


 Senator Goldthwaite of Massachu- sets says that as the first family could not have been formed without the first woman, so, logically, the political community that does not recognize the woman as factor equal in influence to the man is not evenly balanced and can not succeed as well as it would otherwise. He says the male has cracked the whip over the female long enough, and now there should be a change, which is to be brought about by giving women the right to vote.

MAD QUIT WORK READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR Restored to Health By Vinol

'T was sick, rundown and finally had to give up work. After trying a number of remedies and several phy- sicians, I was just about ready to give up in despair. I saw Vinol ad-. vertised and decided to try 1t, and it has done more good for me than all other means combined. 1t has built me up and restored my strength until now feel twenty years younger, and am able to attend to my work again as usual" Job Jeavons, I036 Lind street, Wheeling, w. Va
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it contains tonic iron and all of the strengthening blood-making and bodybuilding ele- ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
 Vinol is unexcelled as strength creator for old people, delicate children, weak, rundown persons, and after sickness-and is the best known rem- edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
 We return your money If Vinol fails to give satisfaction.
