ECHOES FROM RE-
 CENT LAND CONGRESS

In the current issue of the Real Estate Register, a monthly publication of Jamaica, N. Y,, which is devoted almost entirely to bulletins concerning real es- tate, and is circulated almost ex- cluslvely among large trust and banking concerns, bears a story ef the Arkansas Land Congress, tersely told, covering almost the entire front cover. The story deals with the awakening of Ar kansas.

May Select More Bishops.

Asheville, N. C., May 5.-In- stead of the five or six bishops which the College of Bishops recommended that the .quadren nial conference .of the M. E. church, South, select, it seems not improbable that seven or eight will be chosen. A senti- ment among the delegates is set ting in favor of two missionary bishops, one for the Orient, the other to look after affairs in Gen. tral and South America. The men oftenest mentioned are Dr. Walter R. Lambuth, of Nashville, Tenn, for the Orient, and Rev. H. c. Tucker, of Rio Janeiro, for the South American see.

HENRY HARDING
 TO HANG TODAY

Wynne, May 6.-Everything is in readiness for the execution of Henry Harding, convicted of murdering J. T. Patterson, "a lawyer, and unless a stay of sen- tence be granted on the day of execution, Harding will pay the penalty for his crime in the yard of the county poor farm today.
 Harding was convicted of shooting and killing Patterson in his office, during a quarrel in which Harding accused Platter son of selling him out in a law suit. Harding shot the lawyer as he was leaving the office.
 The execution is being held at the poor farm for the reason that the county court house is located near the public school.
 Harding has been kept in the Forrest City jlil since the trial, but was brought to Wynne last night.

THE UNEMPLOYED IN
GREAT BRITAIN.

Ten per cent of the skilled work
ers of Great Britain are out of en-
ployment, according to the estimate
OF the trades union leaders. More
than that, it is claimed that for every
Idle skilled worker there are at least
two unskilled, so that enforced idle
ness is now the lot of some 100000
toilers, who, with those dependent
upon them, make up an army OF T.
100000 persons in want and distress
owing to the industrial depression.
To meet this situation the unions de-
mand radical program of relief. en-
bracing the immediate employment of
surplus labor on every possible form
Of public work, the reclamation of
waste lands, the protection of the
land from the inroads of the sea, the
equipment of additional Fairgrounds
and every conceivable form of public
improvement In addition it is de-
manded that a department of labor
be established whose head shall have
a seat in the cabinet. 1t may be sup
posed that this situation is causing
no little worry to the present minis
try, which has already stretched the
revenues to the limit in the effort to
provide for old-age pensions.

FOOD PRESERVA-
TIVES.

The Congress of Physicians has
overruled the Roosevelt referee board
of scientists and sustained DR.. Wiley
in his contention against the use OF
benzoate of soda as a food preserva-
tive. The Government is urged by
resolution to prohibit absolutely and
unqualifiedly the use of benzoate of
soda and similar preservatives in the
preparation and preservation of foods
destined for interstate commerce, and
also to provide for more careful and
systematic inspection of food-produc-
ing establishments 80 as to guard
against the employment therein OF
persons afflicted with contagious or
infectious disease and against the
use of chemically treated, unclean
ana offensive waste products sent
through the channels of commerce.
This action of the Medical Congress,
representing thousands Of practition-
ers in all parts of the Union, ought to
have great weight when an effort
shall be made to amend the Federal
Pure Food and Drug act.

THE MINDS IN

over the mind and the way in which
through the body. by improving its
conditions, one can favorably affect
mental operations and the spiritual
atmosphere in which one lives. Every
physical organ has its direct influence
upon the mind. Each organ Is relat

pacities. The new science treats Of
these things and also Of the part play

gravely, carried 1t to the clerk. who
glanced at 1t and gave some instruc-

was touched on the shoulder and ask

that the road which connects him

independent of weather conditions.
His intellectual and social life also
are exceedingly important as COM

must be able to have his mail deliv-
