CONV|CTS TAKEN
TO STATE FARM

Little Rock, March Ie.-The
first prisoners to be taken to the
state farm in compliance with the
recent action of the penitentiary
board ordering all the convicts of
the new penitentiary to be thus
disposed of, left the penitentiary
this morning. They are under the
personal supervision of Superinten-
dent Pitcock. The party of prison
ers was composed of IS negroes.
A stockade has been completed
at the farm in which the prisoners
taken there today will be confined.
This stockade is IIoX so feet in
area. In the middle is an in
closure built of stout 2x4 timbers,
in which the prisoners will be
quartered at night. Superinten-
dent Pitcock says that through
the construction of a system of
trenches the side water nuisance
has been overcome and he believes
that the next cotton crop can be
matured without damage from
water which this season ruined
much of the crop.

SKATES MANY CENTURIES OLD
Proof That the Pastime Was Known
at Least Three Thousand
Years Ago.

The English chronicler has re-
corded that the youth of London in
the twelfth century understood the
art of flying over the ice like birds
in the air; but the origin of skating
is far more ancient. An Icelandic
saga relates how the Norwegian hero
Frithiof not only traced verses upon
the polished mirror but also he cut
the dear name of Ingebord.
Skates have been discovered near
Spandau, in Germany, which those
competent to express an opinion at
tribute to period of 5000 years
ago. These skates were made from
bones of horses, figured and per-
forated to attach to the sandal. Sim
liar skates have been found at Moor
fields, in Finsbury, Eng, and like
discoveries have been made IN Berlin
in the bed Of the Spree.
These and similar discoveries, we
learn, enable the authorities to con-
clude that the European ice area IN
prehistoric times extended from
Great Britain to inland and from
Norway to Hungary.

Yes, sir; that's what | mean, |

over as far as | used'to; the leg that
| used to be able to throw clean over

"This may not seem a matter of

there's little more of labor and less
of good living for your Uncle Port

Will she not, then, Join with other
mothers and child lovers in this
new and glorious work which is
sweeping the country? She can
not afford not to. We want bet
ter school equipment. We want
to make the school rooms beauti-
ful, healthful end comfortable-in
short, to transform the school
house into palace of joy and in
dustry.
If love of knowledge comes not
in youth it comes not at all. Ear
ly teachings and environments are
what enrich the mind and form
the character. Many a young
girl teacher of only few years ex-
perience, learns and realizes this
wisdom and takes the place of a
wise and loving mother to the
children entrusted to her care and
teaching. Such little things i'm
press a child for life-the picture
of noble man or woman whose
character is learned from the teach
er at school or home, beautiful
poem read by loved voice, a
patriotic song in which all join, a
we'll chosen book from which to
draw inspiration-all these things
make life beautiful for the child.
The present time is all that we
have for our possessing. Will not
the parents come forward now
and help to benefit and uplift the
children of our loved Arkansas?
The initial work must be with the
mothers and fathers. Let us have
concerted action. Let us join
hearts and hands in this noble
work. Let us build wisely and
and we'll, not only school houses
but characters that will form noble
citizens, men and women to bless
the future of our state.

COOPERATION OF PARENTS
Importance of the Work of School I'M
provement Association.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The duties of parents toward
school work is not so often stressed
as the duties of the teachers and
pupils, yet it is the foundation
work, the most important of all.
Instead of so much Child study"
it is the mothers and fathers who
should be educated. The child
rem are all activity and enthusiasm.
The great, beautiful, wonderful
world is their study and their de-
light, an enchanted playground,
always new and fascinating. Their
minds reach out constantly, as do
their eager fingers, to find out
things. They want ito see the
wheels go wound" How often
are they called mischievous and
NEEDLES, me when they are only
eager for knowledge. All bright
children are inquisitive. Emer-
son says: The first questions
are always to be asked, and the
wisest doctor is graveled, by the
inquisitiveness of child" You
know how babies, cutting their
teeth, are always wanting to bite
or gnaw at something. Their lit
tie gums must be at work they
feel their teeth coming through.
So larger children are cutting
their intellectual teeth, and they
are consumed with constant de-
sire to investigate, to question,
see and pull things to pieces. If
this intellectual activity is turned
in the right direction and wisely
guided by the kind mother and
father, as we'll as the teacher,
all that is highest and noblest in
the child nature will be aroused,
and once the dormant faculties are
awakened and set in the true way,
the possibilities of that child are
limitless, as far as human eye can
see.
The School Improvement Asso-
citation opens way in which par
ents can cooperate with the teach
ers in the physical an intellectual
development of the children as
they never could before. 1t is a
banding together of the patrons
and friends of the school, with the
teachers, to do practical, common
Sc use work for the school, for the
children who live SO much of their
lives in the school room. Child
rem learn so easily. They are so
loving and bright and docile.
Every mother knows that her
children are the smartest, sweetest
things in the world. She wishes
for them the best of everything.

THE REPORT or A POLICEMAN

President j. H. Mulchahey, of the
Board Of Excise Commissioners went to
North Amboy Saturday night and, ac-
companied by Patrolman Gutowski,
made a personal inspection of several
saloons to see for himself if dances were
being held. Mr.. .Mulchahey and the Of
ticer first went to Anton Kisko's sa-
loon at Penn street and Hall avenue
but found no music in the hall. Az
terward they went to Leonard Ear
emba's place at 83 Catherine street
and found the hall crowded with
people. There was music and dane
ing In progress and some young girls
were in the place. The policeman
made the girls leave Immediately.
About six months ago the Board of
Excise Commissioners made crusade
against the saloonkeepers in North Am
boy who held dances Saturday nights
in halls connected with their places. As
result the practice was broken up in
view of the fact that the board refus-
ed to renew the licenses of any sa-
loonkeeper who allowed the dances
The reason for the crusade was that
many young girls attend these dan
ces and rows have occurred which
resulted seriously.
