LOSE REPRESENTATIVE
Reapportionment Under New Gen. sus Will Give Independence
 Only one Representative

Little Rock, Mch. 8.-In the re- apportionment that will be made of the representatives in the Low CT House of the Legislature, be- cause of the census of 1910, there will be changes in Is counties. The census shows a total of 395, 1923 adult males in the state, and as the constitution provides there shall be only 100 representatives, 1t follows that there shall be one for each 3,95S or fraction over one half. Under this rule, the greatest gain will be in Pulaski county, which will be increased from four to seven members. The following counties will gain one each: Ashley Craighead, Crittenden, Jefferson, Mississippi, Sebastian, and Union. The counties of Columbia, Clark, Conway, Crawford, Independence, Logan, Pope, Washington, Yell and Franklin will lose one each. The committee on apportionment is now figuring on the proposition and will report soon.

The meeting was very sudden, and before either re- alized 1t, a collision ensued and both were sliding down hill, the man underneath, the fat woman on top. When the bottom was reached and the woman was trying to recover her breath and her feet, these faint words were borne to her ear: Pardon me, madam, but you will have to get off here. This is as far as 1 go."

When these val uable animals go to show they are accompanied by vetinary doc tors, who look after their health closer than if they were human be- ings. About 2000 cattle and 1900 hogs will lend their presence to swell the exhibition, and prove what the breeders of the South west are doing to advance the live stock industry.

GIRLS PLAY INDOOR BASEBALL

Women.

Chicago.-Indoor baseball has been
invaded by the girls of Chicago, and
the sport is fast taking the place Of
basketball, which for years was SUI
preme as the exercise and amusement
for girls in their gymnasium work.
When indoor baseball was first
brought into prominence back in 1887
it is doubtful if George W. Hancock
of Chicago, who IS credited as the
originator of the game, ever thought 1t
would develop as pastime for girls
as well as boys and men, but such is
the case.
To the girls of West Park No.
goes the credit of probably the SUI
perior gathering of indoor baseball
players in Chicago and vicinity. The

Of the game that her class has devel-
oped into such expert players. The

ONa MAN LIFTS q INTO BOAT
But for the Heroism Of the Two Sail

the Life Saving Force Would Have
Been Lost

Woods Hole, Mass.-Of all the res

est was made the other night when
Capt. Sam Jackson and Frank Veeder
brought IS men to Cuttyhunk island in
a dory and yawl after pounding seas
had put the life saving outfit out Of
business. But for the heroism of these
two men the entire force of the Guilty
hunk station would have gone down,
together with the crew of the new
barkentine Stephen G. Hart, bound
from Gulfport, Miss, ITO Boston, with
lumber and driven by storm and cross
currents On a reef off the island.
The barkentine stranded in a fog
and was not spied by the station look
out until she had tossed on her jagged
bed for several hours. Her signals
told that she was fast filling and that
help must come quickly to be Of any
use. Not knowing how many lives
might depend on their getting to the
wreck In a hurry, all the men at the
station turned out and to make sure Of
room for everybody, they towed the
surf boat behind the big power craft.
Two of the island fishermen named
Cornell volunteered for the trip with
them.
When they climbed on board the
Hart part of her keel had settled on
the reef with the receding tide, which
steadied her a bit, but made haul
Ing her off out of the question. Captain
and crew were willing enough to leave
her to herself for the night, for the
leakage had displaced her cargo and
threatened to immerse her, and the
wind shrieked warnings of a stormy
night.
The seas that broke over her parted
the line to the station power boat and
set her adrift. That left only the yawI
for the Is men who needed to go
ashore. Meanwhile Capt. Sam, with a

the rescue of the four of the eighteen
who had nothing to cling to except the
boiling waves. They were so nearly
gone when he reached them that they
could give him no help in hauling them
in The dory kept it's balance while he
lifted them from the water by dead
weight and dumped them one by one in
safe places. BY the time he rescued
his drifting yawl the four were able
to help him row her to the island.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.
