LUMBER 4TRUST' Y PROBE IS BEGUN
  Government Accuses Organ izatiOn of Illegal Busi-
 ness Methods

s Chicago, June 5.--A United States in- vestigatton- of condition in the lumber in dustry looking towards the prosecution of so-calIed Humber trust" began today be- fore a special grand jury in the United States district court. 3 Coincidcnf with th~ opsning of the tu- auiry, Oliver E. Pagan, government in dictment expert. reached here and began a study of the evidence said to have been gathered by special agents. The case is based on the theory that the various lum- bers dealers associations and companies form a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The inquiry will affect only organizations of the middle west, south and west.
 Among the points alleged by government Representatives and into which the grand Jury will seek are:
 "That the associations have forced con sumers to buy lumber products from
 recognized retail merchants.
 That wholesalers and manufacturers who have sold consumers have been blacklisted and that consumers buying from manufacturers have met the same fate''
 That the purpose of the lumber or ganizations has been to create lists of per sons violating rules of the trade and to maintain restrictive rules governing the conduct of business"
 The effect of these rules, the govern ment says, has been to close the door of the wholesale dealer and manufacturer to the consumer in all parts of the coun- |try. sa q ss-sl { .s s y s.s

The Mouse Trap.

Mrs. A. L. Kinney was hostess to the regular meeting of the Culture Club last Thursday night. Mrs. C. L. Scott as leader began the program by read ing an interesting biography of Will liam Dean Howells, the subject for the evenings study. After this, "The Mouse Trap one of Rowells' best parlor farces, was given by several members of the club and was ex- ceptionally well rendered.
 Mrs. Morrow as Mrs. Sommers, the young widow, and Mrs. Kinney, who personated the character of Willis Campbell, with Mrs Puckett as Jane, the maid, were the leading characters, followed closely by the other members of the cast who were: Mrs. Bedding as Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. George Buell. as Mrs. Miller, Miss Beck as Mrs Curwin and Miss Naples as Mrs. Bemis. These ladies lost no time in displaying their fear of the tiny harmless, but much dreaded enemy of women-the mouse.
 The remainder of the evening was spent socially with plenty of music fur nished by Mrs. Morrow, Miss Bradfleld and Mrs. Kinney. About forty guests were present, each club member nvit ing one or two of their friends.

 David S. E. Warren, aged 75 years, died at his home in Green Forest Tues day morning, his death being due to pneumonia, superinduced by old age and intirmities. Mr. Warren moved here from Elmore, Okla, about four years ago. He was formerly of Ken lucky and was ex-Union soldier.. Inter- ment was made at GlenWood cemetery Wednesday afternoon, under the rites ot the Masonic fraternity. MT War Ten was quiet, inoffensive man and good citizen. He and Mrs. Warren had undertaken the task of raising three of their grand children, orphaned by the death of their daughter some years ago. The bereft widow and these little ones are certainly subjects for much sym pathy. Grant Warren, the son and only child, arrived from Oklahoma Monday afternoon, just before his father lost consciousness.

A sad bereavement now overshadoWS the home of MT. and Mrs. Granville Norris, east of Green Forest, death having claimed Miss Hattie, whose life had been held in balance by pneumonia fever for only a few days.
 Her death occurred Wednesday morn- ing at 1 80 clock. Deceased was born in November, 1891, and died Feb. 1, 1911. Hattie was so kind and pleasant that she was loved by everyone May we meet her in the world beyond where parting will never come! Interment was made at Glenwood Wednesday evening.
 We miss you so Dear Mattie,
 For your daylight cares are OCT, As we sit and watch the stars come out,
 Where we've often sat before; And we listen in vain for thy welcome step. Alas! it will come no more. We cannot sing the songs we loved,
 IL would only bring us pain, And we turned away with other lips
 Breathe d well remembered strain The voice that mingled with ours so oft.
 We may never hear again. Oh! we miss thee so-thrce lonely now
 Is the midnight of our way: And our sad hearts long for the cloudless
 dawn
 Of 6 bright triumphant day In better land, where from weeping eyes All tears shall be wiped away.

To Enlarge Corporation

At the council meeting Monday night the matter of enlarging the corporate limits of Green Forest by adding a quarter of a mile off the south side of section 9, so as to include the railroad depot and railroad yards was consider ed and it is possible that the question will be voted upon at the town election in April.
 The annexation of this territory is desirable from two or three points. The corporation lines were defined years before the railroad was butt and as the line on the south siGe now runs only small portion of the depot is inside of the jurisdiction of the municipality, hence passengers have not the protection that a well-governed town should afford them. Then there is the item of revenue, which the rail road should pay to the town. That would amount to quite an item In the course of few years.
 There is hardly any question about the measure receiving the hearty su D. port of our people if it is submitted to a vote.

Springfield, Mo, February 4.-By council of twelve ministers of Greene county Baptist churches this afternoon and by the acquiescence in their deci- sion by the members of the Has.ti.l Memorial Baptist church, Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Mattox were tonight ad- judged innocent of any Wrongdoing when they were married while under the erroneous impression that the first husband of Mrs. Matto& was dead
 A spirited discussion of the matter followed the receipt of the decision of the council by the congregation of Hamlin Memorial Church last night. No vote was taken, but it was general ly agreed that the matter should be dropped as quietly as possible.
 Rev J. R. Hamlin, father of Con gressman C. w Hamlin, who favored the expulsion of Rev. and Mrs. Mattox, concurred in tke opinion that no action should be taken at this time. The council of ministers met at 10 o'clock this morning and the session lasted until late in the afternoon.
 4 little oyer tWenty-six Sears ago, the present Mrs. Mattox was married 1 to A. C. Dial in Arkansas. While she was visiting at her home, soon after they were married and just before her son, who died about three years ago, was born, Dial disappeared and she did not hear from him from that time on until about three months ago, when she learned that instead of being dead as she had supposed, he was alive and well, had married again and was living in Hill county, Tex, with a large family.
 Rev Mattox and Mrs. Dial were married three years ago in Arkansas, after attorneys had been consulted and they were informed that Dial's absence divorced the woman. Dial recently wrote his wife from Texas and admits that he married a second time, but says his second wife is now in an insane asylum where she has been for the last eight years. Dial says he married eighteen months after leaving Arkan- sas. He says he had received a letter from the former home in this state saying that his wife was dead. Then he says he married again, He was not divorced from his first wife but re- married on the theory that she was dead. He offered to aid the first wife in any way possible to clear her of the charge brought against her and her husband in the church.

At a meeting of the stockholders of the Green Forest Canning Go. Sat urday night J. B. Reeves was chosen manager to give his full time to the factory and it's interests during 1911
 This means that there is going to be big things accomplished this year. It means a bigger pack, better goods, more profit for the growers and last but not least better showing for The earnings of the factory, for it IS g fact recognized by everyone familiar with the details of the canning business that the company has lost money in the past and occasioned inconvenience and loss to the growers on account of the lax condition of affairs at the opening of the season.
 MT. Reeves expects to devote con siderable time to the growers, com meneing with them from the beginning of preparation for the new crop.

Travels 9 3-4 miles every twenty four hours or 3,55S 1-2 in one year. The amount of oil used in oiling the entire watch is about one tenth of drop, while the oil that can be put in the balance jewells with safety must not exceed one -hundredth of a drop. On this minute quantity the balance must feed during its 3,55S 1-2 miles of travel in the course of one year, after which the oil becomes dry, begins to wear out the pivots, and necessitates cleaning and bling of the watch, to have it keep accu- rate time Did you ever stop to think how necessary, therefore, 1t is to have your watch cleaned and oiled once in a year.
