RE TURNS FROM LITTLE ROCK

The party. composed of
Messrs. E. S. Donnell, r. S.
Wilson and Misses Adele Leigh,
Bessie Cook, Anne FAINT, and
Mary Thomas, who attended the
Conference for Education in the
South, returned Sunday evening.
They report a fine progr@L- ,,-.~-
all kinds of courtesies. The
leading thought of the confer
ence was the improvement of
rural life by introducing into the
schools practical agriculture, and
thereby bringing about such a
.know.ed -e of agriculture that
the far vii become both a pay
ing and an ractive institution.
A side trip % Hot Springs was
made, and during the five hours
the party remained there, the
city outdid herself. The party
was met at the train with auto
mobiles, and the conference was
shown all the sights of Hot
Springs, including the springs.
the lighthouses. the United
States hospital, the race track,
the ostrich farm, the alligator
farm, and a trip to the top of
the mountain and the top of the
observation tower. The Colum-
bus party were especially struck
with the fact that Hot Springs,
city not more than fifty per cent,
larger than Columbus. should
have so much paved streets. AL
together, it was a very enjoyable
and profitable trip. The next
conference goes to Jacksonville.
Florida.

Prominent Citizens Will Count the Votes Miss Wood
Jumps Into the Lead

only about three more weeks to
run. 1t will close promptly at 4

well-known and responsible bus
mess men will take charge of the
contest records and count the

work hard from now on to par
ticipate in the distribution of

dates than before for the reason
that every $40 paid on subscrip-
ton now entities the one secur-
ing it to an extra vote certificate

selves.

mainly due so TO loyal support
which her friends have given

BURNED BEFORE HELP
ARRIVES,

Wishek, N. D., May 1s.-The 7-year-
old daughter OF Bernard Kasman, thir-
teen miles southeast of Wishek. was
burned to death Monday afternoon
while playing around a burning straw
stack. The child had taken a lunch

afternoon and started for the house
again. 1t Is supposed she stopped by
the burning straw possibly to get warm,
and that her clothes were ignited.
She was not missed until evening,
the mother supposing the child had
remained with the father. A search in
which the neigbors joined was insti-
tuted and continued until nearly
morning, when the remains were found
by the strawstack.
