Why We Need An Athletic Park

Athletics are something every school and college ought to have. The pupils cannot do as good work in their studies without exercise.
 When the pupil is in the school room he becomes dull and stupid, and when his play time comes he stands around with his hands in Ills pockets instead of taking exercise.
 what we need is the help of every boy and teacher in the school, as we'll as the aid of our parents, to get an athletic park oullt over at the new High School building Will you help us get it?

The Negro.

One of the most humorous, and we might say unique happenings in court room in recent years occurred yesterday morning when the prisoners started to file from the court room to the jail.
 The deputy in charge started them out single file, but 8 small negro, no more than mere boy,
 broke the line. Sheriff Dillard
 looking on at once spied the cause and stepping forward admonish- ed the prisoner. Instead of com plying the prisoner drowned 8 deep frown and hugged the post of the bannuster entrance. The News man being immediately in- terested watched to see the re- suit as well as cause. He found to his delight that the negro act. ing from ante bellum instinct had stepped aside to allow three white prisoners to supercede hlm. He naturally drowned at the sheriffs interference.

PROPS. HARCOURT.
 COLE AND THE CREAM SUBJECT

The News man obtained an in terview yesterday with Profess ors Harcourt and Cole and their colleagues, Msssrs Moore, of Hope, and Markham, of Little Rock.
 Prof. Cole, president of the Farmers Union said: When they find something no one else will have they shove it of on me. The farmer should be a leader in everything the farm needs, drain age upbuilding and more espec. tally interested in enterprises that will eliminate the chattle mortgage" Prof. Cole gives cream as one of the quickest and most sure ways of making money.
 Prof. Harcourt said: If the farmer will raise the necessary and paying product it will not be necessary for him to mortgage anything. If time were given to the dairy COW his time and labor would not be required to get out R. R. ties for the reason that good COWS carefully handled will make about $1 50 per week. If at the same time the effort neces- sary to get out 10 ties at 40 cents each were given to the care of 10 good COWS, the profit on cows being about $12.50, would make the tie hauler about $8.5O besides other profits that will naturally come to his farm, such as manure etc. What we want is for the farmer to raise good cream pro- ducing cows and deliver the cream to the depot"
 MT. Markham represents. ..the NJ. F. Railroad and said: :"The M. P. By. in connecticut. with Professors Harcourt and Cole be- gan this dairy work under the inn pression that no part of the coun- try was better adapted to it than this territory we are now work ing in, viz: The Iron Mountain Lines from Little Rock to Ft. Smith" Another matter Mir. Markham calls attention to is the cost of the dairy business in this section compared to that of the Northern country. "The cost of constructing and maintaing buildings Is much less than in the Northern dairy sections ac- count mildness of climate. An other important matter of the difference in profits here and in the North is that the growing season here is so much longer. Pasturage here is so much cheap CT.
 J. J. Moore, in charge of the agriculture department for this district, is heartily in favor of the plans as set forth by these gentlemen and is very enthusias- tic about the dairy business.
 The court house was crowded yesterday to hear the speaking and we only regret that the speaking was not in the open air and every farmer in Nevada County present to hear it.
 As the News man rose to go, each of the four men thanked him for the interest the News was taking in the matter and compli- ! mented the paper upon-it's being wide awake and working to the interests of the farmer.

 Taking it all in all there is a little prospecting going on all over the coun- fry. True we are developing into summer camp. yet a few grubstakes and perhaps a few home stakes will be taken out during the present winter.
 Up in the Inmachuk several large dumps are being taken out. and on Cold Run, three good dumps are being eXtractcd. then in the vicinity of Nome quite a number of individual miners l are prospecting. some taking out a lit tle pay, while others are working blocking out so as to commence sluic- ing in the spring.

Led ead ly

Fraternized Workingmen every
where who have been contributing
from their wages to the defense fund
will now realize what they have not
realized before. They have been led
badly. Leadership that ends in such
a situation for some millions OF re-
spectacle men is not the leadership
that will bring permanent improve
ment TO the condition Of wage earn
ers.
It was under such leadership that
organized labor leaped forward as one
man to the defense Of the prisoners.
The type must change; the methods
must change; the persistent widening
of the breach must cease if the po-
sition of labor is to be benfitted by
organization.
Out of it all we believe good great
and lasting will come. But it will
surely not come through social revo-
luton nor through the constantly
preaching against the courts and men
who have money. 1t is time for a
revolution in labor thinking.-N
York Herald.
