Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Gsct ~ the Me%joans.
Tae Me4ioans III California tad an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent Of TIE Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
glon. 4 piece Of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb Of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended, to the
end OF which a large stone was made
fast so that it hung about six inches
above and a triGe nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait. In doing
so he would vush the stone pendulum
TO one side. just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head
This would arouse the anger of the
bear. and he would give the stone a
sweep of his paw which would send
it swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was Il harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return.
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his vigor. One powerful
sweep. then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree to the rocks
below, where. disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
AXE him

 The Church of Christ is the only power strong enough to overthrow the saloon. Kmowing all this, an ap- peal comes to every Christian c'ti- zen. Because you are first as a citizen, are you not ready to declare that:
 The liquor traffic ought to be de- stroyed
 Law should be enforced.
 Lawlessness should be restrained.
 Crime should be punished.
 Patriotism should be above party service.
 The sale of manhood must cease.
 Government ought to protect vir- tue, banish vice and safely gusrd the homes and liberties of the peo- pie.
 The ballot should be honestly and intelligently used without fraud.
 A good conscience must be main tained in politics.
 The majority of voters should rule and Arkansas Christian citizens gre demanding it.
 Of the 75 counties in the state 6 are prohibition counties. The pro- hibitionists had a large majority b, our hast state election, the number being 23,262.
 Let the governor and senators sanc- tiontion the voice of the free citi- bens of America and rid us of the tyrant rum, Arkansas will be the ninth Prohibition state if given what is lawful and right.

 Wonderment is continually expres3- ed that such excellent amusement can be furnished at the low prices which the Orpheo charges, but the character of the bills are in no way signified by the box office sale TO- there are no better vaudeville shows to be found anywhere. The feature of the program which opens Monday will be Gilmore, LeMoyne and Per " in Ia comedy sketch and Jake Well by, a blackface comedian.

SITUATION

Great Danger is ApprGhendGd as Re-
suit Of Drop in Temperature Yes
terday. The Peach Trees and
Gardens in Critical State.

Americas put on her wraps again
yesterday and in front of the fire
fairly shivered from the blizzard which
prevailed since midnight. In six
hours the situation here changed COM
pletely, and from balmy springtime
Sunday gorgeous day-we got back
to winter again.
And what will be the result, as af-
fecting the peachlet, the beanlet and
The succulent squash?
Peach orchards and vegetable gar
dens here are in full tilt, and a cold
wave will wreak havoc. A half mil
lion peach trees are blooming about
Americas, and the fear for the safety
of these great orchardmen.
Peach growers are greatly arous-
pd over the condition of the crop at
present, and the unusual weather
which has prevailed 1t is their opin-
;o1 that a heavy frost coming at this
time will be of greater damage to the
crop than it would have been short
while sooner at which the fruit was
pretty well protected by the bios
SONS.
Since the unusual weather condi-
tons Have prevailed during the pres
ent month of February the peach crop
has been a gamble in the estimation of
dealers and growers alike.
Both agree that the danger is great
err and the chances stronger in favor
of great damage to the crop on ac-
count of the stage reached by the
fruit at the present date.
A light frost later, is is thought,
would not be as destructive to the
crop as in the immediate future, on
account of the fact that in the course
of few days the leaves of the trees
will be out far enough to offer pro-
lection to the fruit itself
