County Court Decides in
his Favor.
And Proceeds of Estate
Valued at About 1000
Will go to him.

At the meeting of the county court
held on Saturday morning before
County Judge William H. Irish
Charles d. Boyd was appointed as
administrator of the estate of his wife
the late Mrs. Jane C. Newell-Boyd.
and when the estate is finally wound
up the proceeds will likely GO to Mr..
Boyd.
1t will be remembered that when
Mrs. Boyd died she left will in
which the entire estate was left to
Bayfield, County to be used for the
purpose of establishing an orphan
home. When the case came up in
county court Mr.. Boyd appeared with
his attorneys for the purpose OF con-
testing the will and he has been
successful in his efforts and has been
appointed as administrator.
The will was drawn up some time
prior to the death of Mrs. Boyd and
was witnessed by Mrs. S. A. Yates
and Matthias Drummer of Ashland. At
the hearing it was brought out that
there was some fifteen days difference
between the time that the witnesses
signed, and this together with other
matters had some bearing in the de-
cision.
1t is not likely that the case will
be carried up as the members of the
county board do not favor accepting
the estate as provided in the will, and
there does not seem to be any one
else further interested in the matter.

fact it was one of the best games

whether or not he would be able to

Shipments Heavy

The shipment of strawberries
from this city have been unusu-
ally heavy during the past week
and several carloads have been
shipped to markets at st. Paul
and Minneapolis. Besides the
carload lots there has been many
shipments by express. The
berry crop this season has been
a heavy one and the growers will
realize big profit out of the land
set out to the fruit.

A number of inquiries regarding
the control of cutworms have been
received from various portions OF
the state by the economic ell ntomolo-
gy department of the College oI
Agriculture of the University oil
Wisconsin,. Prof. ]. G.. Sanders
recommends the following control
measures:
"Mix one pound OF paris or en-
with 40 pounds Of bran in dry con-
dition. Moisten thismixture slightly
with some cheap molasses or brown
sugar syrup, so that it will barely
stick together under pressure.
Toward evening scatter this
moisture over the infested ground,
or place in teaspoonful lots near
plants to be protected. Cutworms
are attracted by this sweet bait and
eat it readily in preference to the
plants.

Council Says Saloon Men
Must Observe the Laws
Fourteen Licenses Granted
and There Will Be
One More.

A lively session of the common
council was held last Thursday even
ing at the council chambers at which
time the question of issuing licenses
came up. Previous to the meeting
the license committee composed of
Alderman Thompson, Martinson and
Handberg had held a meeting and
their recommendation to the council
was that four out of sixteen applica-
tions be denied. Two citizens also
appeared before the council and re-
quested that one or two applications
be denied on the ground that liquor
had been sold to men on the black
lis" and also because some of the
places were not being run in an or
derly manner.
After good deal of discussion the
council finally passed a resolution
which provided that before the Ii
censes could be granted that the APP
plications be required to sign an a
greement to the effect that they
would not sell liquor to minors or
persons on the "black list and al
so that they would not permit women
of the undesirable sort to frequent
their places. The vote on the appli-
cations followed and resulted in all of
the applications being granted.
The fourteen who have obtained
licenses are w. E.. Bennett, John
Donahue, Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.
c. G. Westerlund, E. G. Bergen,
Edwin Olson, Andrew Murray, Louis
Holte, Octave Huppe, Louis Ward
ner, Fred Lereaux Charles Nelson,
Stanz Zwinski, and Bernard Lee.
Jack Burk has an application before
the council and this will be acted
upon at a meeting to be held the
middle Of the present month.

his great hind claws, firm based for the
spring, maintained their hold on the rock.
Splitting harshly in his amazement, he
clawed back to his position.
But in the next instant he was SO i'll adj
vised and overconfdent as to rise upon his
hind legs. striking at his assailant in the hope
of bringing him down. AT the very moment
male, utterly reckless, launched her whole
buffeting weight against him. Hurting him
irresistibly from the ledge. she fell with him
and upon him, driving him into the water.
For one bewildering second he clawed at
her, ripping off the strong white feathers and
1nf1lctlng cruel wounds on breast and thigh.
But this was for a moment only. Daunted
and choking, he loosed his grip in haste and
paved his way back to the surface. As he
scrambled out upon the ledge both birds
were at him again instantly; but he had not
an ounce of fight left in him. He was not at
all hungry, and he did not like swans, and he
wanted to get off to some quiet, sunny place
and dry himself Splitting loudly, head
fiat, and stub of a tail pressed tight between
his furry buttocks, he fled ANONYMOUSLY
through pandemonium of wings and beaks
and screams.
When he was quite beyond their reach the
two swans stretched themselves to their full
height, spread their wings as wide as posi-
BILE, and trumpeted raucous warning to all
trespassers. Then they hurried back to the

The female, apparently unconscious of her
wounds, resumed eagerly her brooding, with
soft murmurs to the Matching young; while
the male, as calm as if nothing out of the

to happen. set himself to preening the ruffled
snow of his plumage.

CONCERNING SMOKING

TN this day smoking is we'll nigh universal.
1t is common for men to smoke in the
presence of women and in the house, at
their pleasure. Often the women too smoke.
Yet such freedom in the practice is wholly
the growth of single generation. Smoking
in the streets was never INDUCED in by
gentlemen of London until introduced by
officers returning from the Crimea. Whites
Club, which was the inner shrine of elegance
in the English metropolis, had no smoking
room until 1915, and until as late as 1881
anyone who wished to enjoy cigar in
Brooks was forced to climb to the attic.
The same lack of license prevailed in pri-
vate houses. 1t was not unusual to see a
party of men. after dinner of a winter night,
scurrying through the snow Slush of court
in order to enjoy in the harness room the
privilege of smoking denied them in any
part of their hosts mansion. Some enter
tainers, of broader charity, permitted their
guests to light their cigars in the servants
hall.
Queen Victoria until the very last refused
permission to any guest to smoke in the
privacy of his chamber in her palace. 1t is
related of the late Bishop Brooks that, after
several reprimands given him on the occa-
sion of his visit to Windsor, he finally con-
cealed his delinquency from the keen nos
trils of a chamberlain by lying flat on his
back with his head we'll within the ireless
fireplace and SO smoking his cigar.
But the Queens eldest sons ideas were
vastly different from his mothers. When
he was Prince of Wales he introduced the
custom for the men of smoking after dinner.
Whatever other faults may lie in this,
there is one exceeding virtue: 1t has done
away with the former after dinner excuses
in drinking wine.

under the possibility of being a hoodoo.
When this reputation fastens itself to
him, it works out his actual ruin. Even the
most astute and worldly managers and the
most sensible and sympathetic stars are
affected by this groundless belief. l have
known many cases of the most cruel per-
secution growing out of it, the utter defeat
of the professional life of very talented per-
sons. Long ago it should have been made
a matter of libel. Indeed. one actor l knew
seriously thought of taking the matter into
the courts, his case being so unquestionably
one of blackmail and persecution.
Another actor who had suffered untold
misery and defeat through this malicious
superstition was about to engage a skilful
lawyer to take his case to court and have it
decided once for all whether irresponsible
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-04-02

persons could jocularly play with his repr-
tation, to his ruin. But his friends per-
suaded him that such course would simply
increase by a thousandfold the number of
persons who would think of him as unlucky.
Further. they urged, should the courts decide
against him, not as being hoodoo but as a
man who had been so unsuccessful that a
manager might reasonably avoid engaging
him, he would be worse off than ever, and
helplessly branded. So he decided to aban-
don his plan.
out of the unhappy dilemma except the
general enlightening of peoples minds with
regard to what is called luck, and larger
appreciation of the fact that one can often
change hoodoo into benediction by think
ing rightly.

HENDERSON BILL
HAS BEEN SIGNED
Governor Approves New franchise
Tax Act Repeating Wlngo
Corporation Law

Two very important measures
have received the approval of Coy
ernOr Donaghey and are now effec-
tive. They are the Henderson cor
poration franchise tax act and the
Confederate pension bill.
The Henderson law repeals the
Wingo corporation tax act enti 'ely,
and fixes a new basis for franchise
taxes. The annual fee now will be
onetwentieth of one per cent of the
capital stock of the corporation, or
that part of its capital stock in Ark
ansas. Insurance companies are taxed
$50 and 800 respectively, depend
ing upon whether their capital stock
is under or over 100000. Build
ing and loan companies pay an an
nual tax of $25.
The pensions carries an appropria'
ton of 900, 900 for the Confed
crate soldiers, or so much thereof
as is necessary to pay the pensions
for the ensuing two years.

YOUNG men SHOULD
STUDY AGRICULTURE
This is the Excellent Advice Given
BY Farmer W. A. Owen

Young men of Randolph county;
If you are contemplating what
profession to pursue through lite'
and are thinking of a college course
to fit you for some profession, let
it be an agricultural college and
study to be a plain farmer. Get a
thorough education.
There is no calling at the present
time that is nobler and offers great
er opportunities to the young man
with brains and energy than the
farm. Brains, energy and honor
are what the farms are calling Tor
today.
The chances for financial success
are just as good on the farm as any
where else, if anything, it offers
lesser risk of failure.
There is no country in the agrl-
culture world that has more advant-
ages and less adversities than the
South.
I Can truthfully and conscienti-
ously change Horace Greeley's
advice of 'young man go West, "and
say, young man, go South. 1t is
the coming country and we will
not have to live long to see it the
wealthiest part of the agriculture
world.
SO boys, | will just say, stay
South. Commence early in the
Southland and grow up with Its
progress. There Is no occupation
which has the charms of farm life.
Working and living with nature,
develops mind, muscles and body,
and keeps you in close communion
with your Creator, and you are not
only beneficial to yourself, but tc
all mankind.
There is a base to everything and
farming Is the base of the CONNER.
clal world. The farmers success OF
failure is what rules the com
mercial world. W. A. OWEN

OlDFlELD STRONG
FOR RECIPROCITY

Little Rock, March 25.-W. A.
Old6eld, congressman from the
second district, was in the city yes
terday and in an interview gave
free vent to his opinion as to what
Congress should do during the extra
session and as to the course he in
tended to pursue upon what he con-
sidered the most important matter
under consideration, which is the
Canadian reciprocity agreement.
Mr.. Old6eld is enthusiastically
in favor of the ratification of the
proposition and believes that the
house will vote for reciprocity by a
large majority. BY the reciprocity
agreement, he stated, this country
will be able to secure articles on
the free list that will be beneficial
to all the industrial interests of the
country.
sTThere is no doubt" said Mr..
Oldheld, "but that the house will
be in favor of the reciprocity agree
ment, because the house is of the
opinion that it is right and that its
action in this matter will be followed
by reduction in the woolen, cotton
goods schedules and those affecting
certain food products and farming

6 PER CENT INTEREST
IN JACKSON COUNTY

Little Rock, March 25.-Sena-
tor Keel's bill, requiring that the
legal rate of interest in Jackson
county shall not exceed 6 per cent
passed the Senate yesterday after
the senator from Jackson made one
of his characteristic speeches in sup
port of the measure.
The original bill was intended to
apply to the state at large, but was
amended so as to limit its provisions
to Jackson county. The bill pro-
vides that it shall be unlawful for
an hank smploya OF bank, agent
or director or any person, loaning
money, to charge a greater rate OF
interest than per cent per annum.
The penalty for the violation of the
act is forfeiture OF the interest to
the person receiving the loan.
Senator Keel said in support OF
the bill that the reduction of inter-
est proposed would bring cheap
money to Arkansas, and cheaper
money was needed with which to
establish factories in the state. 1t
was not prohibition, whiskey or the
railroads that were hurting t h e
state, he said, but the aggrandlzed
wealth of the banks.
sMy support of this BILL" he
said, "may sound my political death
knen, but for all that am going to
push Its passage to the end. The
Farmers Union, of which am q
member, and all the labor and rail
road organizations of Jackson coun
ty are standing in a solid phalanx
endorsing my action in supporting
this measure. "

Implements"
Mr.. Oldfeld said that he believed
in the reduction of the tariff to a
revenue basis. In other words, he
said he did not believe in protection
in any form, but a tariff for revenue
only.
Referring to the situation IN
Mexico, he said that is one that
would be properly settled by the
government. He was of the
opinion that Congress would take
the proper view of the situation and
would do what is necessary to carry
out the policy of the nation in a
matter of that kind.
