SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Prof. Means Present at Organization of Border State Association at
 Fort Smith.

The principals and superinten- dents of schools of Western Ar kansas and Eastern Oklahoma held conyention in Fort Smith Saturday. The meeting was in- teresting and instructive, num- Der of practical school questions being discussed. E. D. Means represented Mena High School.
 A Border State Athletic Asso- citation was organized and gen. eral school meet was arranged for April 16 at Ft. Smith.
 The idea is to get as many of our high school pupils together as possible so they can form some idea of what other schools are and can compare themselves with others. Itis thought that if sey- enty-fve or hundred pupils ot each high school can meet and see the magnificent high school building in Fort Smith, engage ID few athletic sports and intellec tual contests, it will broaden the mental horizon of our pupils, give them a new conception of life.
 It is sincerely hoped that Mena may have large delegation iu Fort Smith April 16. xxx.

 BY SUPREME COURT
Decision of Chancellor Shaver in the Case of Tax Commission Against County Clerk Upheld
 Assessments Stand.

Texarkana. March IA. - The Supreme court today affirmed the case of the state of Arkansas and the Arkansas tax commission against A. B. Little, county clerk. Tine case was argued Mon- day of last week, W. H. Arnold. J. D. Conway. Henry Moore and l.. A. Byrue of Texarkana, par ticipating in the argument.
 According to this decision, the reductions in assessment made by County Judge Kinball will stand. After the county board of equal ization had raised great many assessments, in some instances two or three hundred per cent, petitions were filed with the ccun- ty court for reductions. Many of these petitions for reduction were granted. The state tax commis- sion then came in aud asked tue chancery court for an injunction restraining the county clerk from

HANDICAPPED
This Is the Case With Many Mena
 People.

Too many Mena citizens are handicapped with bad back. The unceasing pain causes con stant misery, making work bur- den and stepping or lifting an lm- possibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give re- lief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanent Iy. Can you doubt Mena .evi. dence?
 J.E. Dickerson, De Queen St., Mena, Ark, says: "For several years I suffered from kidney dis ease in severe form. About a year ago began to have lame- ness and soreness in may back and across my kidneys, which at times prevented me from working. The kidney secretions weretoof frequent in passage, contained sediment and were attended by burning sensation when voided. On the advice of friend l procured q box of Kidney Pills at the Jack son Drug Co.,, and through their use soon received relief. T h e contents of two or three boxes completely cured me and 1 there fore advise the use of Doan's Kid nev Pills to other kidney suffer CTS.

 The cutting took place at 4:3O D. m ou Otilwell Heights in the old park. According to the story told by Clarence French, he and his two brothers, William and James, aud Dan Williams had gotten some Su lday papers and gone on the hill to read.

Chief of Police Joplin went to the worst injured man, who was still on the ground where he had been cut.

GOY. DONAGHEY AND
 APPROPRIATIONS
Some State Institutions Wanted More Money for Each Inmate Than Many Taxpayers Have for
 Their Families.

Following is a short extract from Governor Donsghey's recent circular:
 ''It doesn't suit the Little Rock ring 10 have a governor who stands close to the people. The ring is enraged because 1 insisted on cutting down the enormous appropriations for the institutions of the state located in Little Rock and did not cut down the appro- priations for the four agricultural schools.
 They would not have cared if I had put the agricultural schools out of business. They would not care If the state continued to ne- glect the brown-eyed farm lasses and the bare.legged blow boys, as 1t had done in the past. But when a governor who had been a farmer himself and knew that he ] had been able to work hard and live all year on the farm on $10O came into once and cut dowu the appropriations for the keeping up Of the wards ot the state at these Little Rock institutions, these political vipers begin to beat the air and say that 1 was wrongiug the unfortuuates of the state. God forbid that 1 should ever do anything to hurt in any way one ot these unfortunate people! But 1 have done this: 1 have cut down the appropriation for these people to figure at which they can be comfortably cared for-if they get il. And 1 have been see ing that they get 1t all. 1 have beenseeing that the Little Rock ring did not get any division of the money that you pay into the treasury for sweet charity's sake.
 The last Legislature appropri- ated $190, 900 for the Deaf Mute Institute having about 300 pupils. This was an appropriation of $633. % for each child, and about the same amount was appropri- ated for the children iu the Blind School. 1 cut these appropriations down so that there was $466. .O0, instead of S633 % tor each child in these institutions.
 1 believed that these children could be taken care of for that amount, if the money was care- fully and honestly spent.
 Time has proved that 1 was correct. All these institutions are going along the same as eyer, aud all the wards have been are being cared for comfortably, and in better style than two-thirds of the voters of this State live. If 1 had not made this cut in the appropriations, where would this $l67 have gone? Who would have gotten it? Not the children, for they are getting all they have eyer gotten. Who would have gotten this $100, 900 that pruned of of the appropriations fer these two institutions? If you can give the correct answer to that ques- tion, you will hare tie reason for the opposition to DJnaghey. You will know why the Little Rock ring has passei the word out that Douaghey. who seems to Lave the notion that he was put in office to protect the peoples interests, must be turned out"

Another pes Moines Idea.

After showing the way through the
difficulties which caused the shiftless
governing of cities, by working out
the commission form OF government,
the city of Des Moines has Inaugural
ted a scheme of advertising the city,
which would not have been possible
when the city was in the hands Of
politicians who were responsible only
to leaders of a political machine.
The city has announced that Great
er Das Moines will expend from SlO,-
200 to $4,000 a year for the next
three years in advertising to the peo-
pie of the whole nation, the merits OF
the municipality. %
Business men the world over recog-
nize today the prime Importance to
business of advertising. When they
see such a modern business method
applied to city affairs, they will con-
clude that the city is being conducted
by business men in behalf Of the
public owners of the city, just as they
would conduct a progressive private
business.-Wichita Eagle.

A Load Of Hods.

C. P. Summers. of Kingman, Kan,
now enjoys the distinction Of having
shipped the biggest car load Of hogs
ever sold on the Wichita market, says
the Wichita Beacon. It was not CIR
load of the largest hogs, but the great
est number of pounds of hogs in the
car and, more than that, the hogs
brought the most money ever paid for
a car load of hogs on this market.
Mr.. Summers car contained Sc hogs
that balanced the beam Of the big
scales at 27,54O pounds, making an
average of 800 pounds and 20 pounds
over. They were sold to the Cudahy
Packing company at 1856 per 100
pounds and the big packing company
gave its check for S2,554.67 for the
car load OF hogs.

Odd Facts About Milk.


Some idea Of the importance Of
milk as human food may be gained
from the fact that about one-sixth
Of the total food of the average fam
lily is furnished by its products.
OF the various mammals whose
milk is used for food in various parts
Of the world may be mentioned the
goat in the billy districts Of Europe,
the buffalo in India the llama In
South America, the camel in desert
countries, and the mare on the step
pes of Russia and Central Asia.
Sleeps milk Is used in some coun-
tries for making cheese and in other
ways, and the milk Of the reindeer is
commonly used as food in the arctic
regions. With us the milk OF COWS so
far surpasses all other kinds in i'm
portance, that unless otherwise speci-
fled the word milk is taken to refer
to COWS milk only, says the Baltimore
Sun.
Good unadulterated milk should con
tain about 81 per cent water and IL
per cent solids.
Milk contains bacteria Of many
kinds and in varying numbers. They
cause the souring of milk as well as
the ripening of cream and cheese, and
produce many other changes in the
appearance and flavor. The number
present in freshly drawn milk varies
enormously with the conditions of
milking, and, as they are greatly in
creased with dirty handling, cleanli-
ness in all matters pertaining to the
milking and marketing Of milk and
keeping 1t in the home cannot be
too strongly insisted on.
Disease germs, notably those Of ty-
phoid, diptheria, scarlet fever and tu-
berculosis may also be carried in
milk, so that the purity Of the milk
supply is Of vital Importance to
every family and community.
The problem of keeping the milk
sweet is one Of checking the growth
of the bacteria, and as they are in
active at a temperature below fifty
Fair, milk should be kept in cool
place. Two common methods for pre-
serving milk are pasteurization and
sterilization.
In the former the aim is to apply
heat in such a way as to kill most
of the bacteria without producing un.
desirable changes in the milk; in the
latter to apply enough heat to kill
all the bacteria, but with the least
undesirable change. Chemical preserv
ativeS in milk are considered injur
ious to health mad are forbidden by
pure food legislation in many states
What is commonly known as tht
richness of milk depends upon the
amount of butter fat it contains
There is so much difference in tht
composition of milk from differen
COWS that many large butter anC
cheese factories now test all the mill
they buy and pay for it according
to the butter fat content.
Mothers milk is the best adaptet
by nature to the nOurishment Of in
fants. Cows milk is the most CON
mon substitute, and when neceSsar,
is artificially modified to make it re
semble human milk.
The value of milk for adults is Il
combination with other foods, not a
. a beverage merely, but to supply i
part the material needed for the bod
Unless exceedingly high prices ar
paid for it, milk is as economical
source Of nutriment as other ANNA
foods, but dearer than most Stapl
vegetable products. Milk, however
requires no preparation, has no vast
and is more thoroughly digested tina
most vegetable foods.
