Vim egar stock is quoted at 25 cents per hundred and peelers at IT F c per bushel, same as last week
 The shortage of cars is q problem that is still causing much inconven- fence. Shippers had in orders for some twenty cars for yesterday, but only two had been set out yesterday morning. Agent Leitzell is doing his utmost to supply the demand, but the railroad company simply hasn't the cars The gener- al superintendent of the road says that Springdale is getting 70 per cent of the cars sent into this sec tion

 The AttOrney-ge neral has address d to every member of the House and Senate urging them to make good on the proposition of short, business-like session. He has shown them how at least 9e. per cent of the special legislation which d persistent constituency urges upon th. members can be avoided b pro- eeeding under general acts. Giving the first week of the session over 10 organization, and emitting the eight Sundays, there will be left hnf 4s working days for the trans action of the general business ef the state and the special business that cannot be avoided
 It has developed during the last few days that an attack will be made upon the short-sessian amend ment by the Legislature although many members are known to be for it. Others are contending that II the law, and that the Speaker will be urged to hold il invalid and void on that ground Should he do 50. then the Speaker will probably be mandamused. and the whole qaes- ton be forced into court The Leg islature will meet Jan l3. and un- der the amendment will adjourn March l3. but the legal eompliea- tIoas that may arise may fore longer session

The Jolly Dozen Club

The Jolly Dozen were entertained by Mrs Bailey Wednesday, Sept. = This was one of our most pleas ant meetings. owing 10 the fact of her mother, Mrs Holden and two sisters, Pearl and Flossie of Tope- ka, Kansas, We're visiting her We found these most charming ladies and trust they will renew the visit some future day There was no espe- eial program. but some very laugh able games We're indulged in. With the name of a song pinned on our shoulders We were to guess what 1t was by the talk of the others But 10 ole was imaginative enough 70 guess. Then We were asked to walk single file around table on which were laid twenty articles and then write all you saw. It seemed easy, but when We started to write them down it was surprising how few We could recall Mrs. Kelly proving 10 have the best memory. Mrs. Fowler the poorest. Mrs. Ben nison played some beautiful instru- mental pieces then Mrs Sain sang Dream Faces, and several other songs As these ladies are fine singers and players, it was some thing worth hearing. Mrs. Holden helped by playing The Lost Hope Played and not pounded 1t. can't help but feel sorry for those long, suffering pianos which receive such awful poundings when intended for such lovely music. Mrs. Fowler gave a short piece and Mrs. Holl- enbeck cute sketch Mrs. Kelly who exeels in guessing stunts gave us a chance and then We saw some of the gentlemen coming after their wives, kindly bringing wraps which were thought not needed and We all reluctantly left that pleasant home and friends

PROSECUTION A SURPRISE
of Cave Springs Banker
 Was Unexpected

The indictment and conviction of J. C. Mcdaniel former cashier of the Bank of Cave Springs. at the present term of court caused mild sensation. MT MeDaniel was convicted on q charge of embezzle ment and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
 The case was somewhat eempli- eated and seemed to be based upon the question of credits rather than an appropriation of actual money. The prosecuting witnesses were l C. McAndrews, the present owner Of the bank, and Ed Hughes, a prom inent farmer of the Cave Springs neighborhood and stockholder in the bank during McDanielss incum- beney as cashier
 Only a few knew of the impending charges, as McDaniel left the bank over a year ago, and until just few months ago had remained at Cave Springs. He was aH elder in the church of Christ and devoted much time to preaching both al Rogers and Cave Springs His most recent business venture Was al Bald Knob Ark, where he osganiz- cd the Band of Royal Circles This was d mutual benefit plan iH which memb bers We're required 10 eontIiz bute very magnanimously to the vel fare of the organization upon the death of member Nr Mcdaniel was secretary and manager of the organization.

Had Confidence In Christians.

DIR. Courtney II. Fem Of Peking
relates p significant incident of the
recent disorders in China, says the
Far East. At Paotingfu the local
hanks were so much frightened at
tho revolutionary outlook that they
suspended every sort of payment
across their counters. Not even gov
eminent officials nor teachers of gov
eminent schools were able to get
money for necessary expenses. But
a missionary in the city found it inn
portant to obtain 5000 for current out
lay at the mission, and he sent a mes
senger with an appeal for this sum-.
Greatly to his surprise, the messen-
ger returned with $500 in currency
aud an offer from the bankers of $500
more If the mission would be kind
enough to take It, The bankers were
in serious doubt whether the govern
ment was going to- continue or not,
but they were entirely confident that
Christian missions would persist.
and that money loaned to the mission
aries was really safer than in their
own Golfers.

Pleasant Rainy Day.

AS very little girl l was much
depressed by stormy weather and
hated rainy days. Then when l was
nine l went to live with Great-Aunt
Huldah. On a disagreeable afternoon
she would be sure to say, Such Il
horrid day! l must have something
good for supper" And she always
did.
So my point of view changed and
/ began to look forward with pleasure
to having stormy weather. Now that
have children of my own / profit
by that experience and always con-
trive to have some little delicacy on
rainy nights. 1t may be waffes or q
loaf OF their favorite chocolate cake.
II I haven't time for that, l arrange
to have them make candy or pop corn
after supper. l find that my husband
enjoys the surprise" almost as much
as the children, and a rainy evening
is a real festivity in our house,
Housekeeper.

Real Greatness.

A great man is always willing to be
little. While he sits on the cushion
of advantage he goes to sleep. When
he is pushed, tormented, defeated. he
has a chance to learn something. lie
has been put on his wits, on his man
hood. He has gained facts. He learns
his ignorance; is cured of the insanity
Of conceit; has got moderation and
real skill. The wise man always
throws himself on the side of his as
sailants. 1t is more to his interests
than IL Is to theirs to find his weak
point. The wound cicctrizes and falls
off from him like a dead skin, and
when they who would triumph, 10! he
has passed on invulnerable. AS long
as all that is said against me, feel a
certain assurance of success; but as
soon as honeyed words OF praise are
spoken for me, feel as one that lies
unprotected before his enemies.--
Ralph Waldo Emerson. 49,
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1912-09-21
Sparrow Sets House Ablaze.

An English sparrow was the cause
of three houses catching fire at Law
renceburg, Ind, recently, and had 1t
not been for the prompt work Of the
neighbors and friends all would have
been destroyed. The sparrow was
building a nest under the caves of the
home Of Mrs. Mary Weber, and 1t
picked up long cotton string from a
pile Of rubbish that had just been
burned. With the burning string in
its beak, the sparrow few to the roof
Of Mrs. Sophia Skaters house, then
to Otto McCrights house and then to
the roof of Emanuel Wuests home,
where it dropped the burning string.
A fire started in the shingles of each
building. Each was extinguished by
neighbors before much damage was
done.
