Or. Cooks Raeker Talks.


New York, Sept. 2.-John r. Brad
ley, the financial hacker of DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook, explained today that
the Brooklyn explorers success In
reaching the north pole was not so
much the result of chance as the
opinions of several polar experts
would indicate.
"This was no haphazard expedition"
he said, cor intensified Arctic Joy ride
only undertaken on nerve. We went
about our plans for this thing quietly
and without brass band accompani-
ment, but every imaginable contingent
cy was provided for. We studied out
the mistakes and misfortunes of those
who had tried for the pole, hoping to
benefit by their errors, and we Ger.
tainly benefited by their examples"
II am not going to tell what the cost
was, but I'll tell you this much: One
single item was 5000 gallons of gaso-
line and another was two barrels OF
gum drops. An Eskimo will travel
thirty miles for gum drop. His
sweet tooth is the sweetest in the
world.
Now Cook has as much nerve as
any man In the world. guess; but he
had something besides nerve to carry
him through. I'm not trying to take
any of the credit. but I want to say
that he had the right kind of an outfit
to take him through. Cook will prove
to the satisfaction Of every fair mind
that he has done exactly what he
claims he did"
Anthony Fiala, commander Of the
Ziegler expedition of 19o3-1s05, agreed
with Mr.. Bradley In placing confidence
In the reports Of Dr. Cooks success.
This will not put an end to polar
expeditions. "he said today. "Othel
expeditions will push their way north
ward. DR.. Cook says he has discov
cred land In the far north. II the lant
is there others will find 1t and verify
his story. II 1t is not there his story
will be branded az false"

NONACFNAR|AN
 ATTENDS FAIR

Perhaps the most interesting visi- tor to the county fair this week is Jasper Ferguson of Lonoke county, who is one of the states oldest men, and has the distinction of being the first white child born in Arkansas af- ter it's present bounds were formed by it's creation as territory. He was born at Arkansas Post in 1918, only few days after the act separating Arkansas territory from Missouri ter ritory was passed by Congress.
 Just in the prime of life when the Civil war broke out, MT. Ferguson en- listed in the Confederate army, and not a whit of his devotion to the Southern cause has ever deserted him. He is still an unreconstructed rebel and wears every day his uniform of gray. He was wounded five times in battle
 Though he is now in his 92d year, no one would suspect him to be more than 75. He walks erect, his sight and hearing seem unimpaired and he has entered into the joys of the fair with as much life as a boy. Yesterday while walking through town he met a number of little children and asked them if they were going to the fair. I've haven't got the money was the rather pathetic reply. Well, come on, l have" the young-old man an swcred, and together they strode off happily, drank red lemonade, bought toy balloons and saw the lady with snakes and the other shows through out the day.

MOLOKAN SECT TO STAY HERE.
Satisfied with Conditions in America. Trey Seek Tract of Land In
 Which to Settle.

Investigation of the members of the Molokan sect of Caucasia, Rus sia, now settled in southern Califor- mia, discloses the fact that the St. Petersburg reports to the effect that they were dissatisfied with their life in the United States and had deter mined to return to Russia were not well founded.
 Members of this sect living here have no thought of going back to their native country. Some have been compelled to return because they could not securepassports from Russia for their families. but nearly all of the original number are still here.
 Failing repeatedly to establish colonies in the southwest, between 2,000 and 5000 now live in this city, few in San Francisco and about 100 families in Lower Cali fornia.
 They are frugal, sober, industri- ous and religious. The men work at all kinds of hand labor and the women in the canneries and facto- ries. The sect is still endeavoring to find tract of 15,0O0 or 10000 acres of land in California where they might locate the entire num- Der of their followers in Russia San Francisco Bulletin.

ADVOCATES FLIRTING.

Prof. George Herbert Palmer of Harvard, 67 years old, has come forward with the statement that a little flirting, properly conducted, is not only advisable, but even impera- tive for the average college boy and girl. Flirting is the surest road toward the proper knowledge of so- cial life," says the professor. 'I be- lieve the girls of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard devote too much of their time to study. They actually bury themselves in their books, and the result is that that when they get through college they don't know a thing about social life. They should mingle little frivolity with their studies-in other words, they should f1irt a little"

far broader subject than is covered
by our school curriculum, and that
it's value to determined more by
what man is than by what he
knows. We believe that the same
methods used to enlist interest in
any other enterprise, will be effect
