Pleasant Time
At Holmes

Holmes, June 19.-One of the
most delightful days that has ever
been spent at Holmes and one long
to be remembered, was spent here
Sunday. Bro. w. F. Bridges and
his congregation arranged days
exercise of singing, worship and
preaching and big dinner "on the
table" At 1890 the choir called
the congregation together and after
singing a few choice selections, the
choir gave way to Bro. Bridges, who
preached very lengthy but most
able sermon to an appreciative au-
dience of perhaps FIVE or six hun
dred people. After services the
immense crowd assembled around
a v-shaped table which groaned un-
der its heavy weight Of good things
to eat and proceeded to satisfy an
appetite made keener by delay and
expectation. After every one had
Jared sumptuously, there was great
amount left for the dinner baskets
to receive to take hack. Quite q
number from Walnut Ridge and
other places were in attendance.
Every one present will hold the
day as one long to be remember
ed and does pp,eciate Bro. Bridg- |
es' efforts in his work. !

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals TO Newcastle TO speak OF export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands Of cases of
Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain
and Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally OF all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture SO that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How we'll he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This
brand is without rival; is packed in
regular packages, and in hermetically
sealed tins for hot climates. 81

BURTON KILLS
DRAINAGE PLAN
Senator Burton, Chronic opponent to
Valley Improvement, Raises
Point of Order

Washington, D. c., June 22.-.
Senator T. K. Burton of Ohio,
heretofore conspicuous in opposing
plans for Mississippi Valley devel-
opment, raised point of order yes
terday in the senate against an
amendment proposed by Senator
Stone of Missouri to the general
deficiency appropriation bill for an
appropriation of $l5o,OOO for sur
veying swamp lands with view
to drainage IN Southeast Missouri,
in Arkansas and Louisiana.
Senator Hale of Maine defeated
the same proposition when it was
made by Senator Foster of Louisi-
ana as an amendment to the sundry
civil bill. Hale of Name had been
argued into accepting the Stone
provlso. But Burton of Ohio re-
fused to indorse the plan and his
objection destroyed the last vestige
of chance TO get the monev at this
session of congress.
After Burton's course killed the
proposal as an item in one of the
regular appropriation measures,
Senator Stone in the senate and
Representative Coudey in the house
offered separate bills on the sub
ject. They are identical and di-
rscted the secretary of agriculture
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-07-01

TO investigate and report upon the
probable cost and feasibility of
the drainage of swamp and other
wet lands IN Missouri, Arkansas
and Louisiana, and to prepare and
submit plans for the removal of
surplus waters by drainage and
plans for the necessary improve
ment of streams in connection
herewith"
These bills were referred to the
committee on agriculture of both
houses. There is no possibility of
favorable committee reports on
them at this time. No meeting OF
the senate committee on agricul-
ture will be held during the session,

But it would require an act Of Con-

this idea Mr.. Taft IS IN harmony. but

STUDENTIESS UNIVERSITY
RECEIVES $4,000 GIFT
Still Larger Endowment From Same Donor Whose
Name Is Withheld, Expected to Help Put Institr-
ton Upon Its Feet

Through the generosity of a benefac-
tor. who is too modest to reveal his
identity. the American University of this
city is today $4,000 nearer than at any
previous time to the 10000 endowment
fund which must be reached before the
university opens.
The gift Of $4,000. made by a philan-
thropist in the West, who withholds his
name. follows close upon a check for
$500 which was received two months
ago by the university from the same
source. and it has been intimated that
still another and larger endowment is
yet to be made for the purpose Of erect
ing a memorial building TO the donor
and TO his wife.
The American University, though in
corTorajcd FOR nineteen years, has never
YET received a student Since its in
