Governor in Demand.

Little Rock, Aug. 24. .-Gover- nor Donaghey, who is now much in demand as a speaker, deliver ed the principal address yester- day afternoon at the meeting of the Arkansas Rural Carriers As sociation. The principal portion of his address was devoted to the parcels post, which he said would soon come. He charged the express companies, which make large sums of money out of the delivery of packages from the big houses, with having a string on Congress and Iprevent. ing the passage Of a bill calling for the parcels post system. Gov. Donaghey also expressed the belief that the large mail or. der houses of Chicago, New York and other places were sub sidized by the express compan ies, for which reason they were against the passage of the par cels post.

This is the time. of the year when special attention should be given to sanitary matters. Nal. aria germs are unusually well developed during the sultry days of late summer and extra pre- cautions should be taken to pre-. vent diseases and sickness of any kind.

Ozark CantaIoupes Lead.

Gravette, Ark, Aug. 24.-"All countries have their drawbacks, droughts. short crops and var. ious ups and downs, but with an organized, ell-planned system of diversified farming, Arkansas is going b be hard to beat by the best of them exclaimed a prominent fruit and produce grower here today. For one thing, the cantaloupes we raise here are second to none. A well known buyer told me a few days ago that he had purchased many Rocky Fords in his time but none of them had equaled the products shipped from here in quality and flavor"
 There is every indication that cantoloupe growing in this sec tion is an assured and profitable industry. Already plans are be- ing made for a much larger acre. age next year than has ever been the case before. Diversified farming is becoming more popu- lar here every year and the land is being developed as never be- fore.

Emmet School Notes.

at the school building. We can now reach the building without soiling our skirts and trousers. Let the street commissioners be as energetic as the school board, and cut the weeds on our streets. We want our town to be as at tractive as possible to our visit ors. Moreover, beautiful sur roundings always help in build ing lovely characters.
 We are sorry to learn that Miss Dudley of Hope will not be our music teacher. Her father has sold his property and will move to Texas.
 It is thought that Miss Katie Sage of Benton will take Miss Dudley's place. Miss Sage is well and favorably known in our town. She is an accomplished pianoist and vocalist. She lacks but one year of finishing Tender son college and has had much experience as a teacher. We are sure that our musical depart ment wilt be in competent hands. A large class will be formed.
 Encouraging reports ar e brought from the field by Prof. Crump. Despite the fact that crops are short, we will have a large number of boarding pupils. The good people of our town have agreed to open their doors and welcome the students to their homes. Board may be had in the best families for eight dollars per month. This is a bedrock price. Our people are to be commended on their will ingness to sacrafice for the school.
 Prof. Crump has been heartily welcomed everywhere he has gone. He thinks that the people of Emmet and the surrounding settlements are as kind and hos pitable as any people he has ever met.
 Our next school session opens Sept. 6. Teachers are requested to be on hand a few days before in order to plan work.
 Our school offers a thorough course in Bookkeeping, Type writing, Shorthand, Business Arithmetic, Penmanship and Photography. This is an advanc- ed step in school work. Book keeping is required in the public schools of Oklahoma and other e'ates. It will be but a short time until other subjects will be taught in all our high schools. School men everywhere are en. deavoring to shape our courses not to prepare for college so much as to prepare for the ac- .tual work of life. The subjects mentioned above will be taught by Prof. Crump.
 There are some strong reasons why school should be taught on Saturday rather than on Mon day. We are thinking of offering a prize to the one who can name them. Put on your thinking cap and win the prize.

MAPS RESOLVE"
TO WIN THE
PENNANT
MEMBERS OF CLEVELAND CLUB
ATTACH SIGNATURES TO
WEioHTY DOCUMENT OF VERY
sEASoNABLE VARIETY.

Winning a baseball pennant by
means OF winter resolutions may not
appeal TO the average sportsman an
the method likely 10 prevail when the
time comes round next October for the
hnal totalling up OF accounts. yet
Clevelanders opine that resolutions
may help and point with pride to the
set adopted by the Napoleons for 1909
The resolutions, II is understood
were drawn up by Ed Bang, a Nap
land newspaper man, and the original
set Travelled all over the country, ac-
quiring signatures. copies OF which In
fac-simile were attached and are now
displayed for the edification OF the
Cleveland bugs.
The resolutions are as follows:
We, the Cleveland Napoleons,
realizing the value of fighting
spirit, such as had It's birth In our
camp on Labor day. 1908, have
made the following resolution for
1909:
Resolved, That the Maps OF
1909. from the start OF the season,
April IA, until the last game Is
played in the early part of Octo-
Der. Will display the same fight
ing and do-or-die spirit that made
itself manifest In the closing
weeks OF the campaign of 1908.
THAT we will contest for every
inch of ground in the April games
as well as those in midseason and
near the flag end of the campaign,
for We learned our lesson the past
season In that Just one of the
games we lost in the first half OF
the season because OF a lack OF
fighting spirit would have won us
the pennant.
That IL will be our aim and am
billion at all times and that we will
put forth every effort within our
power TO reward the deserving
Cleveland fans with that which
they have craved and longed for
these many years--a major league
pennant."
The resolutions contain no refer.
ence TO chair.throwing, aside from i'm
plication.
