A great deal is being said about the
boys who win prizes in the Corn Clubs
and in other work; but it must be re-
membered that the boy who does not
win prize has not failed if he has
made an earnest effort. Such a boy
may get more real good out of hard
struggle against circumstances than
some more fortunate boy who beats
him all to pieces in the result he OBJ
tains. To make good corn crop is a
great thing, to make a determined ef-
fort to improve ones condition is a
greater. Raleigh IN. C.) Progressive

INSURANCE AGENTS
 "CUSS' LEGISLATORS
PRESIDENT KENNEDY THANK. FULL, HOWEVER, THAT MAT
 TIERS ARE NO WORSE.

Little Rock, June 15.-The annual meeting of the State Association Of Local Fire Insurance Agents will ad- Journ this afternoon. The session has been most profitable one, and the president, Allan Kennedy of Fort Smith, and secretary-treasurer, Ar thur w. Mills of Pine Bluff, have been complimented by all on the growth of the association and the good work be- ing done in the interest of the agents, and the reduction of fine hazards. Discussing legislation, President Ken nedy said:
 "The legislature just adjourned i'm posed no burdens upon fire insurance, though, of course, there were a num- Der of bills with that end in view. There were also some bills which would have been beneficial could they have been gotten through. But bal ancing the work of the legislature for and against the interest of the insur~ ing public We have the status quo, the Lord neither gave nor took away blessed be the name of the Lord"
 He bitterly scored the politicians for the manufacture of hobbies to the detriment of the public upon which they might ride into office. One of the principal addresses was that of Louis s. Amonson or Philadelphia, who de clared that 90 per cent of the fire waste of the country is unnecessary and due to criminal carelessness.

SAYS DEALERS ARE
 VIOLATING THE LAW
LOCAL STORES HAVE BEEN H. LEGALLY SELLING DINA
 MITE, SAYS MIR. CLARK.

Prosecuting George W. Clark stated this morning that he had notified sev- eral local dealers of their failure to comply with the statutes regulating the sale of dynamite, and requested them to obey this law in the future. His discovery of the fact, he statcc, came about as result of his investi- gation of reported dynamiting of fish in Gold Lake last week. In en- Geavorlng to trace the matter, he found that none of the local dealers had records of their sales of dyna- mite. MT. Clark says the law requires seller of dynamite to take from the purchaser certificate giving his name and address, the purpose for which the explosive is to be used apd the place at which it is to be used
 Mr. Clark says the dealers have cheerfully promised to comply in the future with this statute, which none of them was aware was in existence.
