 Willie" Oliver left her home iu Taason February g and disap paared as completely as If the earth had swallowed her. And from that hour until he found her yesterday through the medium of story in Tuesday mornings s Gazette, in which bis name was incidentally mentioned, her fath- CT had neither seen nor heard from her.
 A wealthy man of s years, real estate promoter and banker of Foreman, Little River county, Arkansas, is responsible for the girl leaving home, her father charges, and it was tracing the movements of tho Foreman man that Oliver finally brought to Lit tie Rock in the search of Miss Willie"

 The girl, who had managed to keep her identity secret i,oN even 
 her intimate girl acquaintances in this city, broke down when her father appeared. Last night the two went to the theater to- gether, and today she will return to Tauson with him to be rein stated as the daughter of the household.

 Shortly after Mss Willie left home, Oliver started out on the hunt for her. He visited Shreye- port, La.. where he formerly Ie sided and was at one time police man.

Home Canning q Profitable Employ

There is a growing demand for
Southern canned goods In the North

large Gamers, but for hand-packed
goods put up by small Gamers.
heard OF lady in the South who had
been In the habit Of canning each sea-
son several hundred cans Of wild
blackberries. both for her own use
and that OF her friends. She was
careful in her work and the result
was an extra fine article. Some of
her fruit came under the notice of a
New York broker. who was so i'm
pressed with its excellence that he
secured for her an order from one
large grocery establishment for 1000
cans at very fancy price. such as
the lady had never dreamed of ask
ing.
1t Is not necessary to raise all the
produce yourself. There are many
fruit and truck growers who are glad
to raise their entire crop for the
canneries at certain fair price, rath-
er than take the risk Of shipping to
a distant market with the uncertain
ty Of profit or loss. While the price
paid for produce by these small can
ners must necessarily be small, yet
they often realize more than they do
for shipments. The Gamer prices
are sure. There are no glutted mar
kets. No exorbitant freight charges
and no dishonest commission men to
put the balance on the wrong side

Custom Houses and AlrShipS

Even the infancy of airships boun-
Diary lines have been crossed. M. Be
riot sailed from France to England,
and recently Curtiss aeroplane
crossed the United States border and
entered Mexico. What will become,
for example, Of our Canadian border if
aerial locomotion be developed as
rapidly as many anticipate?
1t is altogether possible that air
ships will in the next 10 years become
as common as automobiles are now,
and then, indeed, it will be difficult to
mainta "robber tariffs" anywhere
These airships can sail at night, and
when they are crossing border line
they may not carry even light AT
any rate they will add new problems
to customs laws, rendering them more
difficult of enforcement than they are
at present, and at present few, if any
of them, are honestly enforced.

Beats All Records

A new high record in any legitimate
field of human endeavor attracts at
tention and wins appreciation for those
who accomplished it; and when that
record is in the line of philanthropy
and makes for moral uplift all those
who helped in the good cause should
receive the hearty applause of the en-
tire community affected
Birmingham has not only achieved
splendid triumph in raising nearly
s215,OO0 for the Young Mems Christian
Association building and more than
$50 900 for the Young Women's Chris
tan Association, but in raising these
large amounts in the space of only II
working days it has beat all similar
records. Other cities have had Young
Mems Christian Association building
campaigns and have secured the funds
sought, but not in quite so short time
as the work was done in Birmingham.
Last night was the time originally
fixed for completing the Young Mems
Christian Association fund, but the
canvassers having raised more than
was asked for fully two days ahead of
time, they decided to continue at work
during the remaining days of the al
lotted term and endeavor to raise
$50 900 for the Young Women's Chris
tian Association. When the canvass
ing committees made their final re-
ports the total in behalf of the young
women ran up to $4,000. All this
goes to make new high record, in
deed. 1t rebounds gloriously to the
Observation-Disclosures and the public
spirit of Birmingham. 1t shows what
organization and enthusiasm can do in
undertakings of this kind. No money
raising campaign was ever more thor
oughly. planned and no enterprise ever
brought out in stronger relief the un-
selfish side of busy, high pressure
city. Such a record makes even larger
and more ambitious undertakings pos
sible. AS lesson the value of this
Young Women's Christian Association
canvass and its UNPARALLELED success
cannot be overestimated.

GREAT MANS MEMOIRS.
John L. Sullivan ,TelIs the Story of
His Life.

From the New York Press.
John l.. Sullivan is in the popular
hall of fame. He has been a great
fighter Some heavyweights have i'm
pressive general character. and John
is of them. He knows how to make a
statement with effect and dignity. But
we see, with regret, that he does not
know how to write his autobiogra ply
or does not know how to inspire
some one else to write it, as the case
may be. All great men have their
limitations, and one of Johns seems
to be that he thinks literature is es-
sentially different from life He seems
to think it necessary to keep the real
thing out of print
Sitting comfortably at table John
is capable of uttering rich and truth
full things about life with artistic en-
phasis and vigorous beauty. Some
years ago, for instance, he was over
heard discussing esthetic principles
with a young and talented sculptor.
The latter was dilating upon the beau
ty which fight has for the artist. The
modelling of the athletes, their forms,
curves, their rapid movements, etc.
give many ideas to the sculptor He
told John L. that he intended to make
statue representing a fight between
two bantamweights, as he thought the
movement of the bantams was especial
ly beautiful and plastic. John snorted
Indignantly, and said: Young Teller,
you don't know anything about your
business. The most beautiful thing
about fight is a knockout, and you've
got to have something to knock out.
Heavyweights are what you want for
your business. Take me knocking out
Paddy Ryan, for example. Can you
imagine anything greater for a statue
than that? Why, every saloonkeeper in
the country would buy it, and you
would get rich. Bantamweights! there's
nothing in 'em for your line of work. .
Johns words had the accent of sin :
certify, and yet we find that in his
autobiography, which Is now appear
ing serially, he says he always hated
to knock a man out or see a man
knocked out. 1t seems to him lin PRINT
mand of the heartless mob would in
duce him to do such a thing.
Johns case is another example of
why good autobiography is SO rare.
John tries in his story to ak up" life,
to make it better and different than it
really it. If John knew how to tell
the exact facts and exact thoughts and
ideas, or a selection of them, that
have been his, his autobiography would
be as good as that OF Benvenuto Cellini.
But even II an autobiographer is will
ing to be truthful, to be so Is exceed
ingly difficult.
1t is sad to see a good thing lost.
John L. is not rendering himself i'm
mortal, alas! by his adventure in lit
erature. Our sorrow for future gen.
erations is profound.

HookVorm and immigration

The million-donar Rockefeller hook
worm scheme is being worked to keep
desirable immigrants away from the
south. Although there are as many
hookworm cases in the north as in the
south, yet the Rockefeller scheme is
cited as showing that the seat of the
trouble is in the south. DR.. Joseph A.
Dauna, a well-lxnown New Orleans
physician, says: 1.-THE very fact that
Rockefeller gave a million dollars to
help stamp out the hookworm has ad-
ded much to the talk of the disease.
An Italian physician recently told me
that reports Of the prevalence of this
disease had the effect of soaring Euro
peans away from the south
1t should never be forgotten that de-
sirable immigrants are wanted in many
states-in many localities, in nearly
every state west of Ohio The states
in the northwest are active and alert
in seeking immigrants, and no doubt
they are active and alert in dissent
mating stories about the prevalence of
hookworm in the south, concealing the
presence of the trouble in New York,
Illinois and other states. The hook
worm is a germ that is widespread,
and the south has but it's share of it.
and every effort should be made to
stop the circulation of stories prejndi-
cal to the south. No one need fear
the i1oolSworm here, and no immigrant
should stay away because of the
Rockefeller gift, which was altogether
unsolicited.

HOLLY AS A MEDICINE.

From the Westminster Gazette.
There has been record" crop of holly
berries and some kind-hearted people
were needlessly distressed to think that
the birds would be deprived of their win
ter food through the berried boughs be-
ing used for decorations. Few birds. ex-
cept the missed thrush when sharp set,
ever touch these berries, which are ''vio-
lently emetc'' and remain on the bushes
for months. Our Incorporate ancestors
used to swallow holly berries after
Christmas to cure the effects Of their
-Gargantuan festivities. Years ago some
French physician pronounced decoc-
ton of holly leaves an extract from
the bark, called 'ilicine,' to be superior
to quinine as tonic. Owing to com
mercial and other difficulties the boom
died away, and ilicine' no longer ap-
pears in the "Materia Medlca."

PICTURES OF MEMORY.

BY Alice cary.
Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all.
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mist]etoe;
Not Nor the violets golden
That Nsprin1xle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge.
Coouettihg all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks. nor the pale sweet oovslil
1t seemeth to me the best.
I once had a little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep.
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers
The summers of long ago1
But his feet on the hills grew weary
And one Of the autumn eves
I made for my little brother
A he'd of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pals arms folded q
MY neck in a meek embrace,
A the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops brigh&
He fell in his saint-lilxa beauty.
Asleep by the gates OF light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on rnempryo wan.
The one Of the dim old forast
seemeth the bert Of al.

Billions In Cold Storage

In the storagemen's own organ and
official guide book it is stated that there
are in 55S cold storage plants at present
$4,000. 900 cattle, 100000 calves. 25,-
900 900 sheep and lambs, and 100000
hogs, In another series of cold
storage plants there are 100000 600
eggs, 1870, 900 900 pounds of poultry and
fruits valued at s50,000,000
All told food is held in cold storage
concerns to the value Of 100000, 900.
Cold storage exists for the purpose Of
buying food articles when they are
cheap and holding them until they are
dear. The manipulation of food ar
ticles in cold storage concerns needs
full investigation and publicity The
truth and the whole truth should be
told
Remedial legislation is clearly need
ed, and the proposed bill introduced at
Washington to limit the storage of
food articles to six months is certainly
reasonable. : At present many articles
are carried years in cold storage be-
fore they are put before consumers.
The cold storage machinery is at pres
ent operated to increase prices and to
create monopolies, and it needs investi-
CATION in order to render it again an
aid in handling foodstuffs instead of a
means of gambling in such articles.
