STOVES IN FRUIT ORCHARDS
Peach Growers Organize to Protect
Crop and Fortune on Cold
Nights in Spring.
life work

ROGERS, Ark.-An organization
has been perfected at Springdale by
the peach growers to thwart the
plans Of nature and nip the frost
instead of letting the frost nip the
peaches next spring. With the large
peach orchards in Benton and Wash
ington counties there is a fortune for
the growers if a crop can be secured
every year, but something has to be
done to keep the peaches from being
killed before or after the bloom.
The Springdale organization will
make an interesting experiment this
winter and spring.
Five thousand heaters have been
secured and placed in the orchards,
from 40 to 80 to an acre. Crude
oil will be used as fuel, and orders
have been placed for 10000 gallons
from the Tulsa and Muskogee oil
mills. Storage tanks will be con-
structed near the orchards and a
larger tank, with a capacity Of pa
900 gallons, will be placed near the
railroad
ms Is a new experiment with the
fruit growers of northwest Arkansas,
but the use of similar heaters has
proven success in Colorado. 1t is
claimed the temperature can be
raised }everafidegrees by burning oil
during the coolest part of the night.
Usually the peach crop is lost be-
cause of few degrees of frost, and
this often prevents the forming of
frost. The experiment is being
watched with great deal of interest
throughout this part of the state.

HOOK WORM MUCH ABUSED.
University Professor Comes to Res
cue of Lambasted Germ.

The Woodwork is much abused,
according to Prof. G. A. Winslow of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Lecturing on principles of
Sanitary Science" in Kent theater,
University of Chicago, he said:
Uncomfortable conditions in the
southern factories are causing more
deaths than the hook worm. Chill
dren under legal age are working
twelve hours day in cotton fac
tories. The hook worm is mention
ed, when the blame really should fall
on industrial conditions.
81 do not say the hook worm is
not an evil that has to be combatted.
but while we are on the subject of
deaths in the south why not mention
this other parasite?"

MORE LIQUOR BILLS COMING
SEVERAL BILLS AIMED AT ssnE-
MON RUM" IN CONGRESS.
The Tiny LOOphoIes in the Law Are
Being Sought With Magnifying
Glasses i'm ''Dry'' Sections

OAeA9SNo AAA DEy OCCbAOMSs
WASHINGTON, d. Glow to.
get ahead of the whiskey trust
and keep it from flooding every part
Of the country with it's goods, espe-
cially those sections that are now
known as dry" sections, and bat
thing to rid themselves of demon"
rum, is question that the greatest
minds of congress have been unable
yet to determine.
When new law went into effect
January LIST, which is more drastic
than any ever yet enacted, and which
made it violation of the federal
statutes to ship liquor from one
state to another unless the charges
were prepaid and unless such ship
ments were made to a bona fide con-
signee, Senator Gallinger of New
| Hampshire and others who had been
Ivigilant in giving the country a good
whiskey law, believed that long
step had been taken towards riding
the country of the jug" trade.
However, loopholes by the score
have been found, and it is up to con-
gress to do more legislating before
such law can become effective.
This is shown by the fact that since
the first of January the calendars of
both houses of congress have car
ried bills of this kind originating
from senators and representatives
from all parts of the country.
While the Gallinger bill is the
most important one so far introduced
lit deals mostly with conditions in
the District of Columbia, and does
not cover so great a territory as
some of the others. Another meas
ure, backed by Representative Par
ker of New Jersey, would absolutely
prohibit the sale of intoxicants of
any kind on army transports or at
post exchanges throughout the Unit
ed States, and the men attached to
those places would be limited to
soft" drinks if they have anything
at ali.
Representative Macon of Arkansas
would go still further in a cam
paign against the use Of whiskey.
He would prohibit the collection of
a revenue tax or the granting of
other authority permitting the sale
or giving away any spirits of any
kind whatever in any district, ter
ritory or state of the union where
the doing of such act is not permit
ted by the laws of such state.
AS partner of the Parker bill
Representative McCumber wants a
law enacted prohibiting the sale of
liquor in any building or on any ship
or at the navy yard owned by the
government.
These are but few of the bills
that have been brought into congress
looking to Kidding the country of
the rum sale in any form and at any
place whatsoever. While the advo-
Gates of a dry country believe they
have gained considerable ground dur
ing the last few years ii will be their
purpose to close up the loopholes
/ just as soon and in just as forcible
a way as possible, so that when "de-
mon" rum is once out he will stay
out for good.

BACON ATTACKED THE BILL
Measure Passes Senate Carrying So.
81, 200 For Fortifications. Want
ed Some of 1t For the South.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Whether
the United States retains the Philip
uines or not the improvements pro-
posed in the Notifications of the is
land will be of permanent use 10
this government, in the opinion of
Senator Warren, who defended the
provision of the Notifications aporo-
priation bill settling aside 100000
for those Improvements, against an
attack made upon it by Senator Da-
con in the senate yesterday.
Mr.. Bacon declared that the ex-
perts were divided in their opinion
as to whether the future naval base
of the United States in the Philip
pines should be located at Corregidor
or Subig Bay. Replying Senator
Warren said it was contemplated
that the money now appropriated
should be used at the mouths Of
Subig Bay and Manila Bay. Mr.. Ra-
con objected to the indefniteness of
the paragraph, but it remained UNI
changed.
Mr.. Bacon also remarked upon the
failure of the bill to indicate where
Notifications were to be located in
the United States. He thought there
should be a considerable expenditure
on the southern Atlantic coast.
Mr.. Warren's only reply was that
it had never been considered wise
that foreign countries should be adj
vised concerning the extent or loca-
ton of our Notifications. He ven
tured the opinion, however, that the
policy of the future with reference to
the south is well indicated by the
policy of the past in that respect.
After some further debate the
measure carrying an appropriation of
$5,S17, 200 then was passed.

SOMEBODY is LIKELY To d. STUNG"|
Geogas Vote May Be Cut Down by Failure to Register
Sign Up Before April 5th or You Can't Vote.

8 Although this is an election year
Oradiction is generally made that
There is going to be a very material
roduction in the Georgia vote, as the
rosult of the new registration law,
ubicb requires that the registration
hooks shall close six months in ad-
vonce of the general election, which
wiu be held Wednesday, October 5th.
This means that the registration
hooks all over the state must close
On April 5th, which is but little more
han two months away.
Add to that the fact that there
no campaign on to stir voters up
o the point of registering and it
will be apparent that both time and
Incentive are lacking to get the
koter to the point of qualifying.
There is no telling what will hap
hon. and according to some political
demonstrations all kinds of cam
Daigns are liable to break out in the
ate spring or early summer, yet no
man who fails to register by April
eth can vote either in the state pri-
mary or in the general election.
A great deal has already been
aid about the matter in the news
bapers, but it has by no means per-
heated throughout the state, and
here are still thousands of people
who will be heartily surprised if one
8 tells them they must register before
April 9Th or be disqualified from
Toting in primary or state elections
This year.
Some of those who own property
have, perhaps, registered, as they
Ian easily do so at the time of pay
ng taxes. But even great many of
hese as those who pay only poll
AK and are generally reminded of
by the fact that campaign is in
rogress have put the matter of reg
Btering off to later date, and the
hances are that many of them will
#eep on putting it off until they dis
over it is too late.
In the primary of 1908 there were
pproximately 100000 votes cast for
overnor. To what extent the vote
#ill be cut down this year will be
babe apparent in the primary.
Some of the politicians who are
&lnning or who are contemplating
#nning for Office this year are quiet
y urging their friends everywhere
81 register and be ready for what
Fer may turn up. And if the other
BLOWS friends don't do the same
#hing why, he is likely to be "stung, 3"
course.
But that's the way things are go
h. Reports from some counties in
3icate possibility of last years vote
icing cut almost in half. That there
#ill be reduction in the voting
trength of every county is not
doubted.
4 Somebody has to go around over
Rch county and stir them up, if
hey are to be registered, and even
pat may not bring out the full
Strength.
And only two months more remain
which to do the stirring.

SHAKEUP IMMINENT
HIGH REPUBLICAN CIRCLES WILL
BE READJUSTED BY A PoLITi-
CAL sHAkEuP AMONG THOSE
CLOSE TO PRESIDENT.
Secretary saIlinger Slated to Retire;
Power Of Aldrich and Cannon a
Thing Of the Past.

Beverly, Mass.-Certain events of
Friday, following incidents of the last
week or so, lead to the conclusion that
complete political readjustment in
circles close to President Taft is in
progress.
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode
Island called to see the president on
finished his breakfast. He talked with
the president thirty-five minutes. He
found that Mr.. Taft had not had an
opportunity to read the senator's reply
to Senator Bristows charges regard
ing the rubber tariff. The president
was gratified, however, that Senator
Aldrich had consented to make state
ment In doing so, it 10 said, the SEN
ator from Rhode Island performed an
act that fitted exactly into pro-
gramme framed by party leaders close
to the president.
Although he is not to retire until
March 4, LELAND Senator Aldrich
confirmed to President Taft his inten-
ton to do so-the REIMBURSEMENT plans
now in progress apparently treat what
ever influence Mr.. Aldrich may have
had with the president as a thing Of
the past.
The elimination of Mr.. Aldrich, &C.
soon to be followed by the retirement
of Secretary Ballinger from the cabi-
net.
Mr. Ballinger has lost practically all
OF his personal fortune in defending
himself from the attacks that have
been made upon him. 1t is said that
one attorney fee alone In the congress
sional investigation cost him $4,000.
II the secretary is to recover his
losses, 1t is said, he must resume the
practice of law. The retirement of Mr..
Ballinger Is fixed for September 10.
The third move in contemplation is
said to be directed aainst Speaker Can
non. 1t Is not admitted In Beverly
that Mr.. Cannon will even be a candi-
date for the speakership.
The Cannon situation as a thing of
the future is little difficult to handle.
If 1t were only known that the presi-
dent would like to see change, 1t Is
believed all doubts as to the result
would be removed
Reports have reached Beverly that
the recent results in Kansas and Iowa
were due largely to the activity of
Speaker Cannon in Kansas, to the
charges against Senator Aldrich and
to doubt in the west as to whether he
actually intended to retire.
The situation developed by these two
states evidently has made an impress
sion upon party leaders that has
| stirred them to action.
