PRODUCERS OF POLK
 COUNTY ORGANIZED
Charter Received for Mena Canning and Shipring Association Treas urer's Bond Made Cove Cream
 cry Project Represented.

The producers of Polk county certainly are taking hold of at- fairs with a vim this year.
 At the regular weekly meeting of the Mena Canning and Ship ping association Friday there was an attendance that comfort ably filled the court room at the court house, and the greatest ot interest and enthusiasm was shown. The certificate of iucor- poration from the state has been received. G. F. rawford, treas- urer, has made bond in a guarar- tee company to amount of $5, 900.
 A large number signed con tracts to grow various fruits and garden truck, and arrangements were made for 40 tons of Con- mercial fertilizer, to be taken by twenty-one men.
 A regular set of books will be opened at once and by-laws adopted for the government of the incorporation.

DOTH PROCLAIM THE MANI
Neatness In Attire 10 Be Commended Rather Than Dcrlded-Shabni-
 ness Not Desirable.

A clergyman, discoursing in Phiia. delphia upon the important topic oi Choosing a Husband" advised ms feminine hearers that they should
 look askance at men who display fas' tidious refinement and elegance in their attire. He dwelt upon the reia- lively greater importance of moral ex- cellence over sartorial appearance. That advice may be accepted by the damsels of his flock SO far as 1t goes, but the teacher of youth may fall into error in emphasizing too much the superiority of inward virtues to out ward appearance. Assuredly, there Is nothing essentially praiseworthy in slovenly attire. nor does yiciousness enjoy a monopoly of purple and line linen. Those who claim to have souls above the tailor, and who look upon those who devote need of attention to attire as prone to worldliness, may profit by little self-examination. It may be that indolence is one cause of their disregard of affairs sartorial.
 Nothing can be more certain than that shabbiness is not an external evil dence of inward superiority in either
 intellect or soul. The unkempt exte- rior is not a sign of inward grace or stalwart mind. Cleanliness may be next to godliness, but it fails to bear it's testimony if hidden beneath rags.

LIFE A FUNNY PROPOSITION
Philosopher Minsles Some Tense Truths with a Good Deal of
 Pcssfnism.

Man zones l. 9 his world without his consent and leaves 1t against his will During his stay an earth his time Is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstanding by the balance of our species
 In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is devil; in his manhood he is everything from lizard up; in his duties he is a fool; if he raises q family he is chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief, and then the law raises the devil with him; if he is a poor man, he is a poor manager and has no sense; If he is rich he is dis honest, but considered smart: . he is in politics he is a grafter and crook; l; if he is out of politics you can't please nim, as he is an undesirable citizen; if he stays away from church he is a sin uer and damned; if he donates to for. eign missions he does it for show; il he doesn't he is stingy.
 When he first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him-before he goes out they all want to kick him. If he dies young there was great flu. ture before him; if he lives to ripe old age he is simply in the way liv- ing to save funeral expenses. Life is funny road, but we all like to travel 1t just the same.-Fall River Journal.

Durability of Concrete.

In the orange garden of the old Cap ucian monastery, on hillside about three hundred feet above the Gulf of Amalf. Italy, there are a number oi queer mushroom-shaped tables. These tables, apparently used by the monks for reading purposes, are about two and half feet high and three feet in diameter at the top and two feet at the base They are of concrete, and though, according to local au. thorities, of an age varying from four hundred to eight hundred years, are in an excellent state of preservation. The excellent condition of these old tables furnishes additional proof Of the durability of concrete as applied to lawn and garden ornaments.

"The tiHe's coming" remarked a
 noorwalker in one of the big New
 York stores, when umbrellas will be relics of the past. Automobiles are knocking them out I don't mean by that that people buy automobiles ta ride in on rainy days instead of carry. ing umbrellas, but it is inconvenien. to carry an umbrella in an auto. and autoists provide themselves with these light raincoats that can be used even in warm weather. and the prae tice of having raiucoat handy in stea' of an umbrella is spreading all the time. Then manufacturers are now able to waterproof almost any sort of oyercoat goods, and there isn't much necessity for a man to own an umbrella in oyercoat weather. 1'hev point out that in real drenching storm an umbrella would not do much good anyhow. and in mild shower one wouldn't get very wet anyhow There will still be use for umbrellas for women, but even they are doing without them more and more"
