Want Free Rates on Return.

Des Moines poultry shippers will
appeal to the state railway commits
sion in the near future to compel the
crates free, just as they now carry
milk cans. AS far as the members
of the commission are aware, milk
cans are the only articles carried
free, but the system can be expand
ed indefinitely, and egg cases, chicken
crates, beer barrels, soap boxes and
a thousand and one returnable arti
cles could be added. The case will
be hard fought before the commits

According to figures prepared by the prohibition forces, the Twen- ty-Seventh senatorial district, com posed of Faulkner and White ccun- ties, gave the largest majority against the sale of liquor of any senatorial district in the state, the majority against license in both counties being 5o87. The next largest majority was 2353, in the First district, composed of Greene, Clay and .Craighead counties, and the third largest was in the Twen- ty-Sixth district, composed of Scar cy, Cleburne, Van Buren and Con- way counties, which gave "a total majority against license of 2I75.

JUST ADDED A POSTSCRIPT
Scientist Capable of Great Psycholog- ica Work Was Not Strong on
 Common Sense.

Prof. Spinks, the scientist, who was engaged in a profound psycho- logical work, rang for his manserv- ant. Then he indited the following note to the police commissioner;
 II will thank you to send one of your men to arrest my cook. Shc has stolen my purse
 The servant, who had at once an swercd the bell, stood at his elbow, waiting for his employer to finish the note. He stopped to pick up something that was lying under the table. As the note was handed him the sersitor handed the object he had found to the scientist, remark ing as he did so:
 'Hcre is your purse, sir. It was lying under your table"
 "Ah, you are just in time," ob- served the psychologist Give me the note
 This being done, the investigator of the mysteries of the human mind theroupon added the following post script:
 "Thc purse has just been found. It will, therefore, be unnecessary, for you to send any one"
 "Here, John,' said the professor, deliver this note at once. It is inn portant."
 And the learned gentleman re- sumed his work.-Harper's Weekly

ings against Gov. Donaghey? He has been most severe in his state ments concerning the contractors. He has branded them as thieves and boodlers on every stump in the state. He has seriously damaged them. He did it intentionally, be- cause he thought the people ought to be enlightened and because he wanted to see honest work done on the capitol. He has from time to time reiterated his charges and he stands by every assertion. If the character of Caldwell & Drake is such that 1t can be damaged, Gov. Donaghey has certainly put several crimps in it. He has chal- lenged them to sue him for libel or slander-dared them to do it. He has thrown down the gauge of battle at their feet and called on them to pick it up. But they wouldn't do it. Knowing he was in possession of facts that justified his strong language they wisely ignored his challenges.
 You have hit the nail on the head, Brother Taylor. There is, however, little probability that Thomas Cox-who by the way is in no manner connected with T. l. Cox, the boodler-will ever be called upon to answer the suit which the state capitol contractors have filed against him.

The Baptist Advance and others who are agitating themselves in favor of statutory statewide prohi- bition continue to publish the mis leading and untruthful statement that Arkansas last September voted in favor of statewide prohibition by a majority of A ,ooo, and that it is therefore useless to submit the question to the people. Such thin- ly-veiled deception as this will ac- complish little with the legislators. The people of Arkansas did not vote on statewide prohibition. last September; they voted on coun- ty and township local option, which is an entirely different thing There are probably thous ands of people who would vote against the sale of liquor in their immediate township or county, but who do not favor e-wide prohibition. It is extremely un- fortunate that the prohibition fight has :been disorganized by cross firing in its own ranks, but it looks now as if statewide prohibition is doomed to defeat by its foolish friends.

AFalse Prophecy

Had we or anyone else proph- esied the first of last December that we would sell by the first of February, thirteen pianos, you would have very readily declared 1t a FALSE PRoPHEsY, but this is exactly what we have done. Now what does this mean? To a thinking mind 1t means that we have THE PIANOS AND THE PRICES. Besides this, we have behind this line of Pianos one of the strongest factories financially in the country. Then why not buy that piano you want from us? You not only save money for yourself but you help to build up your home town when you help your HOME DEALER.
 We also carry the Edison phonograph, the leader of them all, and any records that we might not have ill stock we can get in twenty-four hours. Also carry big line of small musical goods.
 Our WALL PAPER stock is al ready very complete but we have bought by far the largest and most up-to-date line ever shown in Conway.
 We appreciate your trade and we always try to prove this by actions more than words. We do and will treat you right. See our goods and get our prices.

TIN LEAVES MARK

THAT shining symbol Of eivihza-

said foundry chemist the other dav.
The tin can, as well as the tin dinner
pail and the tin-horn sport, is wildly
characteristic of the times. They
carry out my contention that for some
strange reason tin during the DAYS OF
eras of its high popularity Is ALWAYS a
tell-tale in its use of the tenor of tho
period.
''The Greeks used tin with conner
and made bronze. They used II for
their ornaments and dishes. That was
the day of simple and lasting thipas
IN art and otherwise.
THE Romans put different
