RAILROADS AID
 10 ERASE DEFICIT
Iron Mountain And Rock Island Give S2,0o0 Each to Balance Up Re-
 union Fund.

Little Rock, Ark, June 9.-The .e- union deficit was further reduced thIs morning by subscription of $4,0O0, ae- clording to notification received from the Iron Mountain through Assistant General Passenger Agent J. G. Hol- lenbeck to Chairman William M. Kay. anaugh and from the Rock Island through Assistant General Passenger Agent Chas. B. Sloat to Secretary Geo. R. Brown of the reunion committed
 The ailroads had already subscri5- ed $500 each to the reunion fund, but when it was learned that the enter tainment of the convention had cost so much more than had been expected tby reason of the fact that so many more people came to Little Rock than had been expected, the management of the railroads realized that it would be only reasonable and just that they assist in raising the deficit since they handled so many more passengers l1.- to the city. The interest in the rais ing ,: the deficit is growing day tl day, and number Iof people who had not heretofore aided in any way have subscribed, and many who gave libar- ally at the first call have added re the subscriptions yand in some ,'.- <, stances have doubled their former ao nation.
 There remains goodly sum yet t6 is proceeding along systematic lines to this end.

 Every (boy who is successful. in swimming fifty feet after the second lesson will be the recipient of a silver button from the international committee. Application blanks for the twto lessons may be obtained at the office of the Y. M. c. A.

Chicago, June 9.-In a war OH mo- tion picture shows balcony and gal lery prices have been slashed at a downtown theater where a play un, der the management of Daniel Froh- man is being produced. Monday a concerted plan will Joe submitted to all theatrical managers in Chicago wh,) present high class plays. On his return to New York MT. Frohman will take up the subject with the managers and an effort will be made to make the movement countrywide.
 Very many people go to the mo- ton picture shows simply because they cannot afford t) see plays,' said MT. Frohman, last night We need the gallery gods. The last time Sir Henry Irving was here he sadly com- mented on the fact that his beloved inspirers were missing. They are a potent factor in the prosperity of any drama, because they are demonstra- tive and enthusiastic.
 If they approve play they show it." he continued. If they disap' p.Bve, they show it, and they form the best barometer of public opinion If the play is no good, the sooner we know it tn. better We wish to make this proposition mutual by bringing the drama within the reach of opie who cannot now afford to attend

Potatoes are being imported

it ever happened. Fact is, we

more people to eat them than
ever before,

boys and girls who must some
how make a living.
Will we ever get it through
our heads that the world needs

mechanics and that potatoes pay
better, on the average, anyhow.

some of the finest stock and poul-

Why Did They Giggle?

This little story comes by way
of the Chandler, Okla, Tribune:
Two mischevious girls who
were members of church choir
in a country town, figured re-
Gently in laughable incident,
which is now quite good enuf to
bear repeating. In some way
they became possessed of the
minister's Sunday morning SER
mon, and thereupon set about Sc
lecting songs in harmony with
the theme. Sunday morning one
of them seated herself at the or
gan and played "Faint, Yet Pur-
suing" which was sung as vol
untary. Then the minister arose
and consulting the list which had
been given him called mum ber
294. The choir sang, almost
Persuaded" The m n S G r
arose and announced the theme,
"Courtship and Marriage" read
the lesson and called the next
song. II h choir sang, "Tri-
umph at Last" and the congre-
cation began to look amused.
"After prayer sing 20l," and in
his petition asked that the spirit
of levity which possessed some
of his hearers be banished. The
choir sang, Hasten, Lord, the
Glorious Day." and everybody
laughed. Even the minister had
difficulty in sitting smile when
the choir struck up, "Behold the
Bridegroom Cometh," and tho
congregation became positively
hilarious as the organ pealed out
the opening notes of "What Shall
the Harvest Be?" And through
out the wicked girls preserved
their expressiop(of sanity limo
cence, and afterward decided
that it was the most peculiar and
striking coincidence they ever
! heard of.

New Government Land Rul-
ing.
ing.

For manv years it has been
the practice of the Government
to accept homestead pr o
where it was shown that the set
ler had established his residence
within six months after making
entry and continued such resi-
dence for five years after the
date of entry, Under this prac-
tice only AZ years actual resi-
dence was required.
The homestead law requires
five years residence, but years
ago it was held by the Secretary
of the Interior that the first six
months should be considered as
constructive residence where
actual residence was established
within that period.
The present Secretary OF the
Interior, on August 4, 1911, rem
dered a decision holding that
there is no legal authority recog'
nizing the period of construct
i've residence referred to, The
former decision was overruled
and it was ordered that hereaft
er full five years actual residence
on a homestead must be shown
However. to allow settlers tC
become advised as to the new
ruling, it was ordered that same
shall not take effect until Decem
ber l, 1911.
The present practice regard
ing commutation proof is no
changed or affected by this rul
ing.
