What am Opportunity

More than 80 influential papers in the
state OF Illinois have written us that they
would publish from one to three columns
per week of temperance literature, free Of
cost if we can furnish it to them in plate
form. We can do this at a cost to the
League of not more than one dollar
per paper each week Dear friends. do
you realize that this is an offer of an aI-
dience Of from three to five hundred thou
sand readers at weekly cost Of 800?
We do not believe that any such oppor-
tunity has ever before been offered to this.
or any other league; it is simply an indi-
cation of the progress that this reform has
made. Yet, we cannot take advantage O.
it because our financial condition will not
permit us to do so. Perhaps some men
and women may read these lines who have
been looking for an opportunity to do
a great service and will be willing to con
tribute a special fund for this special
work. If So will you please write the

Questions for Voters

DO we want saloons? If so. why?
Who of us want them, and for what
Is time spent in them which could be
better spent elsewhere?
Is money spent in them which would
do more good spent ot} erwise?
Is there likely to lie gambling in them?
Is any money worse than wasted in
them?
Do fathers set bad examples there for
their boys?
will make them good men, or habits that
may make them good-for-nothing men9
Are our wives mothers and sisters made
happier by having loafng and drinking
brothers to waste their time and spend
their money in drinking and loafng in
stead Of being at home with their families?
Is the saloon a good place to educate
the young men, who are to be the hus-
bands of our daughters?
Ii no money were spent in saloons,
would there not be more good trade and
less bad debts in business, and more com
fort in homes?
Would anybody be hurt by having these
places shut up? If so, who? And how
would they be hurt?
Would some men be better off today if
they had never been in a saloon?
Let us think of these questions, and
vote as we think is RIGHT, not as those
who only want our money wish us to
vote. ) -Erchange.

Reeves Again at Head of Factory.

A deal was consummated last Satur- day in which J. B. Reeves and Ben Harbert took over the holdings of C.. L. Scott in the Green Forest Canning Co.,, which gives Messrs. Reeves and Harbert a controlling interest in the business, their combined interest foot ing up s11OO0 of the s2O,OOOO capital stock.
 In the deal MT. Scott acquires title to the farm out six miles on Route 1, for which MT. Harbert recently traded from J. N. Fruit, and some three or four blocks in the Blasingame Second Addition.
 It seems but the natural trend of events to find MT. Reeves again at the head of the canning business in Green Forest, for he is the founder of the institution and has always been in con- trol of the business until about year ago. He has made the canning busi- ness a great success in the past and can do so in the future, we are sure.
 It looks at this time as though this will be season of great opportunity in the canning business. The fortun- ate escape of the fruit crop the past week means that there will be lots of products to pack and the scarcity of fruit throughout the middle west, due to the late freeze, indicates a strong demand at good prices.
 It is possible that this year may surpass the enormous business of the factory in 1907 when seventy-eight cars were packed.
 The thing to do is to encourage Mir. Reeves and his associates in every possible way, for every dollar brought in by the canning business is just SC much net gain to the country. Let us all push the canning business to the limit.
 A meeting of the stockholders of the company was held at Ben Harbert's store Tuesday night and plans for the business of the coming season were discussed. The opinion was freely ex. pressed that conditions are very favor, able for large and profitable business
 The retirement of c. L. Scott neces sitated the readjustment of the officials of the company to some extent and the new regime is now as follows: J. F Walker, president; Ben Harbert, vict president; J. A. Buell., secretary M. s. Coxsey, treasurer; J. B Reeves, manager, these gentlemen tc constitute the board of directors Other stockholders in the concern ar, c. B. Grim, T. M Buell. and J. L Russell

FRUIT CROP IS SAFE
THAT IS THE OPINION OF PRAC-
 TICALLY ALL THE GROWERS
Apples in Some Localities and Seed ling Peaches Have Been Nipped
 and Vegetables Have Suffered

The people -Sf Northwest Arkansas have been on the anxious seat for the past two weeks, thinkingl that every ay would fix the fruit on account of the extremly cold weather which was evidently intended by the weather clerk for December.
 Two or three times the limit of low temperature was reached and appar- ently then some. The time has been during the past week or so that you could have bought out most any of our orchardists for song and sung it your self. But subsequent developments show that we were all worse scared than hurt by several degrees.
 Garden "sass" of all kinds has suf- fered greatest. In fact, those who did not "can" their vegetables have about lost out completely The early spuds have been wiped off the face of the earth.
 It is yet too early to tell the extent of the damage to the fruit crop, but the apparent damage so far amounts to partial loss of the seeding peaches, heavy damage to apples in some orchards with slight or no injury at all in others.
 Jim Reeves says that it will be some days yet before he would be willing to assess the damage completely, but he takes an optimistic view of the stu- ation and is still hoping for a bumper fruit crop.
 In the low lands the apple crops seems to have suffered worst. At Monroe Lees on the E. c. Dooling farm, it is reported that apples were completely frozen and have already turned black. This is the worst instance reported
 L. S. Shibley, whom we regard as equal to the best authority on fruit growing in this part of the state, says that he estimates practically no damage to Elberta peaches and apples all o1 which promises an abundant yield upor his farm. He brought in several twigs from his Elberta orchard Tuesday morning and they all showed very encouraging condition. The luxurient foliage had served as complete cloak it seemed and there was no apparent injury. The twigs all contained 6 superabundance of fruit, about foul times as many peaches as could possibl. mature. MT. Shibley has 150O tree and is confidently figuring on harvest ing 5000 bushels this year. The pro longed cold spell may tend to check tn, growth, and in that way injure the crop MT. Shibley says. but as for direc damage from the freeze he says he i: unable to find any. MT. Shibley' farm is somewhat more favorabl located than the average orchard, bein high up on the mountain side.
 J. B. Harden has been giving tn matter very serious attention and h feels that the Elberta peach crop safe, but fears that apples are seriousl injured. He finds considerable damag in the orchards he has examined. H. kept fires in his peach orchard Sunda. night and thinks he may have don considerable good.
 Andy Cox brings in re-assuring new from all along Route l. He says tha he finds practically no visible damag' to either peaches or apples. He feel certain that great deal of the frui will fall off, but half what is now ol the trees can go and still leave a goo' crop. MT. Cox says he thinks tha there will be lots of fruit.

who prey on women had disastrous
time of it a few nights ago. This is
what happened to them:
One was knocked down with pill

dark house, and was so badly fright
ened that he left the scene via win
dow, without any plumber, and glad,
apparently, to escape alive. Another
robber fled from determined young
woman who first struggled with him
and then aroused the neighbornood.
while her masculine escort was stand
ing helpless before the highwayman's
revolver.
The various women were more sue
cessful on the robber problem than
were the men, for the police have
failed to find their assailants. The
women think they are running yet"
The pillows as weapons were used
by Mrs. Catherine Rooney, wife of
Policeman John Rooney, the wrestler.

years old. when burglar forced

room in which the two women were
sleeping.
Mrs. Rooney was awakened by the
raising of the window, and saw man
in her room. AS the intruder prowled
about in the darkness, searching for
valuables, Mrs. Rooney kept nudging
Miss Rooney, and in this manner
awakened her niece. When the burglar
stopped to ransack the dresser the
two women suddenly sprang out of
bed and began pommeling him with
pillows. The first blow struck by the
wife of the wrestler landed squarely
on the back of his Lead, and the rain
of blows that followed knocked him
down. He scrambled to his feet,
leaped out of the open window through
which he had entered and disap-
peared.

stopped by robber at North Western

robber pointed revolver at Freeman
and commanded him to elevate his
hands. Miss Strey sprang at the man
and attempted to wrest the weapon
from his hand.
The highwayman was too quick,
however He suddenly lowered the
revolver and Miss Strey missed her
lunge for it.
"You stand back there or I'll blow
your head off," the robber warned
Miss Strey. You're one of those
game ladies, amt you?"
When the man proceeded to search
Freeman's pocket Miss Strey calmly
strolled away. When she had walked
about a hundred feet she darted zip
the front steps of a residence and
aroused the occupants by ringing the
bell and shouting for help.
Several occupants of the house,
whose names the police failed TO
learn, ran out, and the robber was
frightened away. He fed without OBJ
