WooDMEN COME HERE.
Sessions of County Camp Being Held
at Castle Hall. Attendance Large.
(From Wednesdays Daily

(From Wednesdays Daily
Members Of the Modern Woodmen Of
America from all parts Of the county
came to Kenosha this afternoon to at
tend the annual sessions Of the codnty
camp which are being held at Castle
Hall. More than fifty delegates from
the various camps in the county were
in attendance when the convention was
called to order by Consul Sleight of the
KenoshaN Camp this afternoon. The
sessions of the convention were secret.
The Kenosha Camp had a representa-
ton Of twenty-five delegates at the
convention and the other camps repre-
sented included the camps at Somers,
Pleasant Prairie, Wilmot, Trevor, Sal
EN- and Bristol. The most important
business to come before the county or
ganization will be the election Of two
delegates to represent the county at the
coming state camp meeting to be held
in Kenosha in May.
At the convention today the arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
state camp will be completed and the
county camps will be asked to join with
the members of the Kenosha Camp in
providing for the proper entertainment
of the large number of Woodmen com
ing from all parts of the state.
Since the last session Of the county
camp the growth of the Modern Wood
men in this county has been exceed
ingly rapid and at the present time
there are more than 1900 members of
the order in the county. All of the
camps have shown growth during the
year and many of them have made
noteworthy additions to their holdings
as lodges.

NAY CONTEST IN FOURTH.
Poll Lists Being Scanned in Ward
Where John Anderson Was Defeated.

There is a possibility Of a contest
of the election of Lyman Starr the dem
oeratic candidate for alderman in the
fourth ward who defeated John Ander-
son the republican candidate by mar
row margin of a single vote. The poll
lists of the ward are being very closely
examined and it is possible that attor-
neys will seek to prevent Starr taking
his place on the council. AS the vot-
ing was machine it seems difficult to
see how successful contest could be
maintained as there can be no contest
as to the manner in which the ballots
were counted. 1t is probable that if
any action is taken that it will be TAX
en- when the council meets to canvass
the vote on Friday afternoon.

cage to Prevent Being Held Up.
Bert Pearson a we'll known Kenosha
man has caused something of Juror
in Chicago by the implicit confidence
which he showed in the police depart
ment of that city. Chicago papers tell
the story of how Pearson came into the
big town. with $3.50 in his pocket
and not daring to take chances with
the hold up men hourishing there he
went directly to the police station and
used the desk sergeant as his banker
for night. The possibilities opened
by Pearson are decidedly numerous
and if all the timid suburbanites use
the police department in the same way
the police stations in Chicago will be-
come as largely patronized as the Pos
tai Savings banks.

DEMONSTRATION
APPROPRI lTION
ARKANSAS TO GET S36, 900
UNITED STATES APPOINTS
AGENT FOR ARKANSAS AND
WILL EXTEND WORK.

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-The work of
the United States demonstration
agents has proven great success, and
for the coming year is to be greatly
extended. The government has appro-
priated $4,000 to Arkansas for the
1912 season, and will give each county
S337.5O, provided the county has an
equal amount of funds with which to
defray the expenses of the agent 1t
is hoped that the present number of 40
demonstrators will be increased to one
for each county next year, rapid
growth considering that the work is
only five years old in the state.
1t will be given a considerable impe-
tus by the recent appointment of C.
w. Watson, who has been made state
agent, with headquarters in Little
Rock. He will have supervision of the
demonstration work all over the state.
Heretofore the general agent ha sheen

DONAGHEY TO ADDRESS YELL
COUNTY VOTERS ON NEW
REVENUE LAW.

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-The opening
of the Yell county circuit court at
Dardanelle next Monday will witness
the appearance of Governor Donaghey
on the platform as an advocate of the
Tee-Jay bill, supporting the new reve-
nue. measure which the people have
caused to be referred to them at the
next general election.
Many believe that the occasion will
also be taken by the governor to set
at rest all questions as to his future
political course, and announce his can
didacy for third term as governor.
He has committed himself unreserved-
ly to the act, and declares that he is
willing to stand or fall upon it. He
feels confident that when the people
understand it better they will not OPP
pose it so strenuously.
"Misinformation has brought about
the present apparently widespread OPP
position" says he, "and the people
must be educated to understand that
it is law that will help and not harm
them"

LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT
Big SOUVENIR EDITION

Fred D. Wore is hard at work on the
Log Cabin Democrats special edition
and is getting some exceptionally good
matter for the issue. Fifteen thous-
and copies will be printed and the is
sue promises to be the most complete
write-up of Conway that has ever
been written. Below we give two
clippings from other papers in regard
to an edition compiled by Mr.. Wore
a short time ago, and which speaks
week for his ability:
"The Souvenir Edition of the Rus
sellville Courier Democrat of the date
of March 9, has reached us and when
we say it is fine, we but feebly express
our opinion. 1t contains "a pages, is
illustrated with interesting views, the
text is carefully written, the mechani-
cal features are neat and the issue is
in fact as we'll as in name a souvenir
industrial edition. Aside from the
general and usual run of news it en-
braces interesting descriptive artic-
les of the vast and varied resources
and industries of Russellville and
Pope county biographical sketches of
the men and women who have worked
for the advancement of the interests
in their county and finally, descrip-
ton of the topography, climate of that
section. The edition is highly credit
able to the compiler and should result
in much good to the city, Arkansas

"The Rusesllville Courier-Democra
published a splendid 16-page special
industrial edition last week in which
Russellville and Pope county are plac-
ed before the reading public in the
very best light possible without resort

representations. The edition was
compiled by Fred d. Wore, one of the
best newspaper men in Western Ark

EXHIBIT SPACE IS
In GREAT DEMAND

Littel Rock, Sept. $50 great has
been the demand for exhibition space
on the Arkansas on Wheels train.
that the eleventh coach has been add
ed. This will make on of the largest
advertising trains ever pulled through
any country, and the northeastern
states will know more about Arkansas
after its boosters have been through
their territory. Hot Springs is the
latest city to enter the lists, and prom
ises to have good exhibit. Even
with the added car, there are but a
few spaces left, and it is probable that
many late applicants will be unable to
secure accommodations. The date as
finally determined upon for leaving
Little Rock, is October 20, and the
train with its 100 enthusiastic boost
ers will cut a wide swath between here
and western Pennsylvania.

Although official advice to this eff

er 0. j. Owen.
On his recent trip to Washington.
Postmaster Owen was informed by de-
partment officials that the service

several visits to Conway recently, has
just informed Mr.. Owen that his re-
port has been forwarded to the de-
partment and recommends the estab-
lishment of the service when the post
Office regulations regarding number
ing of houses and naming of streets
has been complied with.
When official information has been
received from the postoffice depart
ment, the city council will be request
ed to pass such ordinances as will be
necessary to meet the requirements
for the city delivery service.
