Washington.-The report of the commission on country life, made to the president, was read in both houses of congress. Substantially the re- port was as follows:
 To the President; The commission on country life herewith presents its report. The commission finds that agriculture in the United States, taken together, Is prosperous commercially, when measured by the conditions that have obtained in previous years. al- though there are some regions in which this is only partially true. The country people are producing vast quantities of supplies for food, shelter, clothing, and for use in the arts. The country homes are improving in com fort. attractiveness and healthfulness. Not only in the material wealth that they produce, but in the supply of in- dependent and strong citizenship. the agricultural people constitute the very foundation of our national efficiency. As agriculture is the immediate basis of country life, so 1t follows that the general affairs of the open country, speaking broadly, are in a condition of improvement.
 Many institutions, organizations and movements are actively contributing to the increasing welfare of the open country, The most important of these are the United States department of agriculture, the colleges of agriculture and the experiment stations in the states. and the national farmers or. ganlzations. These institutions and organizations are now properly as suming leadership In country life af- fairs, and consequently in many of the public questions of national bear ing. With these agencies must be mentioned state departments of agri- culture, agricultural societies. and or ganizations of very many kinds, teach o~s in schools. workers in church and other religious associations. travelling libraries, and many other groups, all working with commendable zeal to further the welfare of the people of the open country.

REAPING BENEFIT
From the Experience of Mena People.

We are fortunate indeed to be atle to profit by the experience of our neighbors. The public ut. terances of Mena residents on the following subject will interest and benefit thousands of our readers. Read this sta cement. 'Tisemphtic and convincing. No better proof can be had.
 I. E. Dickerson, De Queen St., Mena, Ark, says: "For several years I suffered from kidney dIs- ease in severe form. About a year ago 1 began to have a lame ness and soreness in my back and across my kidneys, which at times prevented me fr o m working. The kidney secretions were fre- quent in passage, contained sedi- ment and were attended by a burning sensation when being avoided. On the advice of q friend I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Palace Drug Co. and soon received relief. Two or three boxes completely cured me and l therefore advise the use of Doan's Kidney Pills to other kidney sufferers

 Call for Leadership.
 We must picture 10 ourselves new rural social structure. developed from the strong resident forces of the onen country; and then we must set at work all the agencies that will tend to bring this about The entire people need to be reused to this avenue of usefulness. A new race of teachers is to appear in the country A new rural clergy is to be trained. These leaders will see the great underlying problem of country life, and together they will work, each in his own field for the one goal of new and permanent rural civilization. On the development of this distinctively rural civilization rests ultimately our ability, by meth. ods of farming requiring the highest intelligence, to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations; to supply the city and metropolis with fresh blood, clean bodies. and clear brains that can endure the strain of modern urban life; and to preserve a race of men in the open country that, in the future as in the past. will be the stay and strength of the nation in tha tt,ne of war, and it's guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace.
 It is to be hoped that many young men and women, fresh from our schools and institutions of learning. and quick with ambition and trained will feel a new and strong call 10 service.

MOB MEMBERS IN TROUBLE
Five Men Near Waldron Charged With Killing Man During
 Night Call.

Waldror, Feb. 7.-Circuit court was in session here all last week and the grand jury adjourned yesterday after returning several indictments. Among them were the following: James Ammons, ST.. James Ammons, Jr., Bob Self, Bob Ammons and Wyatt Lee, charged with the killing of John Bailey. Their attorneys, Simmons, Smith and Payne, said that their clients were ready fer trial, and the case will come up Tuesday.
 Bailey, who was widower with a number of children, had secured the services of a woman to come and keep house for him. This woman was related to the Ammons, who, with other neigh bors, objected to the relations existing between her and Bailey. A call was made by a number of men at. Bailey's home one night. Trou ble followed and Bailey was found in dying condition after the mob left. Before dying, Bai- ley implicated the men against whom the present indictments have been returned.

THROAT TROUBLES
 WEAKEN THE SYSTEM

A serious Illness Is often brought on by q neglected sore throat.
 Ali throat troubles invariably weaken the system and should not be allowed to go unchecked.
 A gargle made with twelve drops of Sloan's Liniment in half glass of water vii! break up a sore throat.
 Sloan's Liniment is an excel lent remedy for tonsilitis, croup. asthma and bronchitis. Applied freely to the outside of throas and chest, it draws out the lnllam- nation, reduces the swelling and relieves any soreness. Twelve drops of this liniment in half a glass of water makes a splendid antiseptic gargle.
 Mir. Albert w. Price of Fredonia, Kan, writes: -" We have used Sloans Eminent in the family for about a year, and tindlt.an excellent relief for colds and hay fever attacks. Two drops of the llniment in tea spoonful of water will stop cough ing and sncezing instantly"

UNIFORM PROGRESS
 FIN COUNTRY LIFE
lcontinued from Ith pagel

I invite your attention To what the commission says of the country church and of the need of an extension of such work as that of the Young Mems Christian association in country com munities. Let me lay special empha- sis upon what the commission says at the very end of It's report on per Everything resolves itself in the end Into the question of personality. Neith- CT society nor government can do much for country life unless there is voluntary response in the personal ideals of the men and women who live in the country. In the develop ment of character, the home should be more important than the school or than society at large. When once the basic material needs have been met, high ideals may be quite inde- pendent of income; but they cannot be realized without sufficient income to provide adequate foundation; and where the community at large is not financially prosperous it is impossible to develop high average personal and community ideal. In short, the fundamental facts of human nature apply to men and women who live in the country just as they apply to men and women who live in the towns. Given sufficient foundation of ma terial we'll being, the influence of the farmers and farmers wives on their children becomes the factor of first importance in determining the attitude of the next generation toward farm life. The farmer should realize that the person who most needs considera. tion on the farm is his wife I do not in the least mean that she should purchase ease at the expense of duty. Neither man nor woman is really happy or really useful save on condi. tion of doing his or her duty If the woman shirks her duty as house wife, as home keeper, as the mother whose prime function is to bear and rear a sufficient number of healthy children, then she is not entitled to our regard. But if she does her duty she is more entitled to our regard even than the man who does his duty; and the man should show special con sideration for her needs.
 Welfare of Nation at Stake.
 I warn my countrymen that the great recent progress made in city life is not full measure of our civiliza- tion; for our civilization rests on the wholesomeness, the attractiveness, and the completeness, as well as the pros perity, of life In the country. The men and women on the farms stand for what is fundamentally best and most needed in our American life. Upon the development of country life rests ultimately our ability, by meth ods of farming requiring the highest intelligence. to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations; to supply the city with fresh blood, clean bod les, and clear brains that can endure the terrific strain of modern life; we need the development of men in the open country, who will be in the fu- ture, as in the past, the stay and strength of the nation in time of war, and it's guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace.

FORECASTING WEEK
 OF LEGISLATION
Many Important Measures Are Set for Consideration at This Weeks Session of Assembly State
 Capitol and Other Bills.

Little Rick, Feb. S. The
 fifth week of the general assem-
 bly, opened this morning with further indications that a pro- crastination on the part of the
 ma jority of the members IS to continue and the session is to be drawn out for double length of time, or even more. The house has apparently stopped the speed with which it burned the wind in the first four weeks of the session and has begun talk ing measures to death. The senate IS taking the most of the time Tn adjourning, remaining in session sufficient length of time 10 lose no per diem. In spite of all this, the present week must necessarily be very busy one in that the Caldwell X Drake matter must in some way be dealt with, and on this question the hardest fight of the year is to result. George W. Caldwell the head of the contracting firm which erected the new state capitol, as far as 1t has gone, is in the city, arriving yesterday. He IS saving all of his talkirg for an open meeting of the sen- ate committee tonight, aud there is strong probability that Gov. George w. Donaghe will be present and something will then be told. Intimates of Governor Donaghey says he has not half disclosed his hand, and that he will spring few more surprises before the state is rid of the Caldwell & Drake litigation. K. NJ. McFarlane, one of the con- missioners of the capitol, aud whom Governor Donaghey would discharge along with the archi- feet and contractors, is also here and accuses Donaghey of using personal spite. The commission left the most of it's work to com- missioner McFarlane and his att Jacks on Governor Donaghev during the campaign were most bitter. He is expected to make other charges against the govern or tonight.
 The railroad committees of both branches have their hands full with proposed legislations, principally on the rate question. It is thought the new two cent passenger fare bill, which lesseus the penalty, and the 21a cent fare bill will be reported back un- favorably. The compulsory school bill will receive favora. ble report from tke education committee, uniform text book bill will be submitted to the same committee, and the segre- gation of school taxes will also receive some action at the hands of this committee.
 One of the numerous statewide prohibition bills is liable to be brought forth ia the house, with several amendments chosen from the good features of others. This measure is insured of passage in the house by an overwhelming It will submit the statewide proposition to the peo- pie in a special election to be held some time during the year. What the senate will do with this prop ositiou is a mere matter of con lecture, but to those who watch the game closely, 1t seems as if stumbling block will be met here and stiff fight will have to be made to pull the blli through.
 Some time during the week the house will work on the bill rais-
 ng the salaries of circuit and chancery judges, and it thought the house will defeat the bill the senate passed by such a close
