DECLARATION CONTEST.
An Interesting Game for q Fourth q
July Party.

July Party.
A declaration contest combines patriot
Ism and puzzling in a clever fashion,
which renders 1t just the idea for a Fourth

new one and does not entail exertions too
strenuous for the dog day weather apt
to prevail at this season.
Here are the directions in a nutshell: .
Cut from white cardboard (Which should

as many oblong cards as you expect play

inches and should be shaped away at the
top and bottom to represent q parchment

then heightened by water color shading.
Have a wee bow Of tricolor at the top

BAD DAYS WITHOUT
APPARENT CAUSE
They Recur to Men With Peri
odic Regularity, Says a
Vienna Physician.

London.-Dr. Herman Swoboda,
a leading viennese physician. is at
tracing much attention here with his
theory on the critical days of men"
DR.. Swoboda says that men suffer one
of these bad days" without having
committed any excess OF any kind. A
bad day comes to q man without any
appreciable external cause. He may
suffer from headache, palpitation Of the
heart, indigestion. nervous excitability
or lassitude.
Strangely enough, the bad day. re-
ours regularly every 23rd or 28th day,
or, II not then, al multiples of either
number on every Seth or 74th day.
DIR. Swoboda applies his theory to
mental phenomena, too; thus, he says,
q mans grief for a relatives death is
deep-felt for % days. then begins to
grow less. Nearly every natural death
occurs on one OF these critical days,
says DR.. 9woboda, when the machinery
OF the human body is in bad working
order.
An eminent London specialist agrees
in general with DR.. Swoboda's theory
and say it is consistent with his own
experience and observation.
What should q man do when he
feels he 10 having a bad day?" was
asked of this Englishman.
g into the country" he answered.
IF it is summer, let him lie in q lone
ly field and think Of nothing but the
COWS. But also he should not eat
meat"

As To CEN. PALMER
AND FREDERICK WOOD
February Is. 1909

Iculudiy 10, I5VS.
Editor Advertiser: In the Advertiser
for Monday, General Palmer, of Colo
RADIO, Is quoted as saying, CHASED upon
my personal observations of the work
ing of equal suffrage in the four states
where it exists, its results indicate the
ability of the corrupt political machine
to influence the female vote, rather than
any ability on the part of women to
purify politics."
If this is the same General Palmer
who has bee3-interested in securing Ger,
tain franchises both in the cities of
Colorado and in the state itself; and in
acquiring large holdings in timber
lands of Colorado; and if it is also true
that the better class, the majority, of
women voters there have thrown their
influence against such deals, this pro-
test from General Palmer is very sug.
gestive.
In the same Advertiser, Mr. Freder-
lex Wood is quoted as saying, "woman
suffrage has done more harm than good
in the four states where it has been
tried. =
Another authority quotes Mr.. Wood
DIS referring 10 5uU2S D. D. LAhuScs a.
''Bedbug Lindsey
To those who know Judge Lindsey s
work in Colorado; and of his support
from the women voters of the state,
such reference suggests both the char,
acter of the man who made it; and also
that he, as well as General Palmer. has
not found favor with the better class
of women voters of Colorado.

airy % at the Opera House by the ORA
matte Circle of the Kilohana Art
League will have a great advantage as
an artistic production in the very real
istic stage. property to be used.
The studio of the sculptor, Pygma-

Athens in the age of Pericles as pos
sible, and real heads and busts will be
in evidence. Some Of the finest speci-
mems of plastic art work at the exhibit
ton rooms of the K,Iohana Art League
are to be transferred to the Opera
House this morning.
The studio will contain the work of
Mr.. Allan Hutchinson, Mr.. J. Rosen-

pillars. symmetrical arches, statuary,
heavily -draped entrances, rugs upon the
floor and seats, and huge bronze vases
filed with the fragrant palm flowers

The stockholders of The Bax-
ter Planning Mill and Fixture
Company held a meeting last
Saturday morning and unani-
mously voted to increase the cap
ital stock of the company from
fifteen thousand to twenty-five
thousand dollars. The increase
has all beeD subscribed, and ap.
plication has been made to the
secretary of state for an amended
charter.
The plant will be enlarged
soon, and employment will be
given to a larger force of men.
The manufacture of wood puileys
will be added to the output of
the plant, and the show case de-
partment will be pushed little
harder than it has been.
The Baxter Planning Mill and
Fixture Company is one of the
best industrial institutions in the
country, and its stock is not go
ing begging by any means. More
stock could be sold, but it was
decided to not issue in excess OF
SIS, 900.

Booster Day August 2.

The next Booster Day for Bax-
ter Springs will be Saturday,
August 7, and it is the intention
of the parties having the matter
in charge to make it the hum
dinger of them all. The Booster
Day idea is a good one, and the
merchant who does not help the
matter along is standing in his
own light. People are going to
have money to spend this fall,
and it behooves Mr.. Merchant to
get busy and get people in the
habit of coming to Baxter.
Let everybody join right in and
help push this matter along. 1t
will pay an hundred fold, and al
so it would be mighty good idea
for each merchant to make a
special effort to get business on
that day. Let him make some
special prices on a few items.
The merchants who made special
efforts on last Booster Day were
mighty we'll repaid for the efforts
they made. If you doubt this,
just ask them.
Join in, boys, let's have a big
time.

double skips for hosting will be
sunk, which will give the mill
ample ore to keep it going steady
twenty-four hours per day.
An extensive study has been
made as to the best method to be
adopted for the economical hand
ling of the ores from this mine,
and the mill to be built will con-
tain the machinery necessary to
carry out the design decided up
on. This mine has the largest
amount of development of any
mine in the entire Quapaw Res
ervation, and has marketed more
ore than any other mine and with
the new mill installed it will
prove to be not only the largest
zinc and lead mine in the south
western district, but one of the
largest in the world.
We are very much pleased to
know that, after so many diff
culties, this most excellent prop
erty is to have what is has al
ways needed, a large modern
mill, capable of milling the vol
ume of dirt that is is capable of
delivering, and we wish to con-
graduate the men who have so
persistently persevered in their
endeavors to put such a mill on
this mine.
This means new epoch in the
history of the Baxter-Quapaw
camp, and it further insures the
rapid progress of this camp to
the head of the list of producers
in the Southwestern district.

Additional Power.

/ Plans have been perfected by
Henry L. Doherty & Co., of New
York, by which 100000 will
be expanded on a mammoth new
power plant and equipment, the
plant to be erected on Spring
river near the present Spring
river plant of the company. The
present capacity of the company
will be more than doubled by the
erection of the new plant.
M. R. Bump, representing the
Doherty interests, is to go east in
a week to let contracts for the
apparatus.
I'VE are to rush work." he
said I'm order to have the plant
in operation the earliest possible
moment. We hope to have it
ready by next January.
"Yhe first installation will be
only one-third the ultimate in
stallation. The buildings will be
of structural steel and brick, de-
signed for extension and the care
of additional apparatus.
1.-THE first installation of the
boiler room will be 80 by 200 feet
and the engine and electrical
room will be of equal size, The
electrical generating apparatus
will consist of two 7,500-horse
power steam turbine engines,
connected direct with alternating
current generators, capable of
carrying $500 horse power con-
tinlously or 10000 horse power

The combined weight of each tur-
bine and generator is about $780,

We have read of a young inf
del who years ago was travelling
in the West with his uncle, a
banker. They were not a little
anxious for their safety when
they were forced to stop for a
night in rough wayside cabin.
There were two rooms to the
house; and when they retired for
the night they agreed that the
young man should sit up with
his pistols, and watch until mid
night and then awaken his uncle,
who should watch until morning.
Presently they peeped through a
crack and saw their host, rough
looking old man, in his bear-skin
suit, reach up and take down a
book-a Bible. After reading it
awhile, he knelt down and bagan
to pray. Then the young infdel
began to pull off his coat and get
ready for bed. The uncle said, Il
thought you were going to sit up
and watch" But the young man
knew there was no need of set
ting up, pistol in hand, to watch
all night long in a cabin that
was hallowed by the Word of
God, and consecrated by the voice
of prayer. Would pack of cards
