NATIONAL CITIZENS
 LEAGUE ORGANIZED
LOCAL BRANCH FORMED
NNEY AND PARRISH OFFICERS OF CON-
 WAY BRANCH.

Yesterday at o'clock at the court house, Prof o. D. Longstreth of Con way and Little Rock, and George R. Brown, secretary of the Little Rock Board of Trade, addressed a meeting of the citizens of Conway on the Ma tional Citizens League movement. The purpose of this league, as they explained it, is to enlist the non-parti- san cooperation of the farmers and buslness men of the country to se- cure legislation that will so reform our monetary system as to prevent periodic financial panics.
 Money panics always cause a great furry" said Mr. Longstreth, and leave desolation in their paths. Other nations avoid them; ours should do so, if possible. But to secure leg islation to this end is not easy. As politics now goes, whatever measures one candidate for office may propose or espouse, and however wise and AiDhNoe OhtI pSioo Hay DC, UHGIe are demagogic aspirants for the office, who for offices sake, oppose him and his policies, and so appeal to the pre- Judlces of the masses as to deport him and his measures Thus has the way been blocked through party poli- ties To overcome this unfortunate condition, and break the power the money trust, when perilous times come, the National Citizens League has been organized in every state, and It IS to extend to every community. 1t is non-partisan. It is not promot- ed by the kings of finance of Wall street, but by such men as R. Law renee Laughlin, professor of political economy of Chicago University. It proposes to investigate in detail ev- cry phase of the money question, frame legislation to produce the de- sired result, and create a public senti- ment that will force congress to leg islate accordingly"
 inc cltlZens present endorsed the movement and voted a resolution in favor of reform in our monetary system in line with the policy of the league. An organization was effected with Prof. c. c. Denney, president, and Prof. s. c. Parish, secretary Membership in the league costs $1. This is to pay the postage on a book and other literature that is sent to each league member
 Prof. Longstreth, secretary of the league for the state, is anxious for Conway, because of it's prominence in the state, to lead in it's league mem bership and in it's efforts to promote the league movement.

BOYS AND GIRLS
 WORK EXPLAINED
SPECIAL AGENT JEFFORDS
WRITES I N STRU UCTIONS TO YOUNG CORN AND TOMATO
 GROWERS.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l wish to answer through the news papers some of the scores of inquiries that are being received from club members.
 It seems that corn is suckering bad ly. In general, it does not pay to re- move suckers
 Keep the cultivators going, but do not run them more than two or three inches deep. Cultivate after every n, and at least every week or ten days, even if it does not rain. Con- tinue cultivating corn until it is in tassel, or even in the roasting ear stage. Cultivate cotton until it is opening. Use cultivator with many small shovels. A fve-tooth or IA tooth harrow is good Do not plant cowpeas or anything else in your acre of corn if you are trying for the largest yield.
 Girls should stake their tomatoes and prune them in accordance with instructions from the department. Keep loose soil mulch of about two inches all over your garden plat. Re store this much after every rain re- gardless of whether there are weeds or not.
 The Arkansas Bankers Association offers a $500 scholarship in a reputa- ble agricultural college for the mem- Der of the boys corn club who makes the best record on his acre of corn this year. The boy who wins this can attend college two years. The state agent for boys clubs is. directed to advance money to the boy as he needs 1t in his college course, and to advise with the boy concern ng his school work.
 This scholarship, like the scholar ships to the state fair and encamp- ment schools, is restricted to club members who are IA years of age or over Now, please understand, boys, that those of you who are under IA are still members of the club, and may compete for all other prizes, reither in the county or state, except ing only these scholarships. You who are under 14 have the decided ad- vantage that some time you are go- | ing to be IA and then you can com pete for these scholarships. This age restriction is made because boys un- der Il, generally speaking, cannot carry college work.
 Yours very truly, T. M. JEFFORDS. Special Agent

Texas Will Fight Mosquito With Bat

Bats, as is we'll known, are insect
eaters, and are particularly fond Of
mosquitoes. In the twilight, when
they rove abroad, they devour i'm
mense numbers of the pestiferous in
sects, the manner being to dash back
and forth through a swarm and COB
BILE the victims up by the wholesale.
In view of which fact it occurred
to DR.. Campbell that it might be a
good idea to establish in and about
San Antonio a number Of "bat roosts,"
as he calls them-that Is to say, struc-
lures so contrived as to invite bats
for sleeping purposes. He has already
set up two of them, and proposes to
erect others, those already in opera
tion having proved highly successful.
There are no windows, but opportu-
nifty Of entrance Is afforded to the bats
by a series Of horizontal openings so
arranged as to resemble the Stats of
an ordinary window shutter. The
whole building is thirty feet high,
the upper twenty feet being the in
closed portion, and the Slated ar
rangement runs up each Of the two
sides for distance Of sixteen feet.

Militant Cow Puts Policemen to Rout

n HICAGO.-A spotted cow which
~ answered with enthusiasm to the
name Of "Violet" came into East Chi
cago the other evening, approached
the outer fringe 70 the political battle
field, and went mad
At midnight Policeman John Lazar
was walking his peaceful beat in the
neighborhood of Chicago and Ken
nedy avenues when he met Violet and
was seized with a sense Of pastoral
poetry and moonlight.
II will take her to the pound and
imagine myself once more in the old
lane that leads from the pasture to
my fathers barn." Lazar told himself
and smiled with pleasure at the pros
pect.
He approached Violet sympathetic
ally and with delicate motion of his
arms sought to watt her in the direc-
tion she should go.
Violet refused to be waited. She
was In playful mood and showed a
desire to place both her front feet
at once on the policemans shoulders.
He retreated warily. He got inside
a patrol box and from it's security
argued with the bovine.
Violet hurled herself against the
policeman's shelter
He drew his club and shook it stern
ly in her face. She recognized no au-
thority.

GAN ANTONIO, Tex.-There is a
- man in Texas who has found out a
new way to fight the mosquito. His
name Is Dr. Charles r. Campbell. He
is official bacteriologist Of the city Of
San Antonio.
His idea is to employ bats as mos
quito fighters. The neighborhood Of
San Antonio is especially plagued by
mosquitoes-malaria is more or less
rife in that vicinity-and for long
time past the inhabitants Of the mu-
nicipality and it's suburbs have eager
ly sought to find a solution of the
problem. Much benefit has been OBJ
tanned by keeping minnows in cisterns
and ponds-these small fishes being
greedy devourers Of mosquito larvae
but such measures have not altogeth-
er met requirements.

Crate of Stolen Chickens on His Bed

u HILADELPHIA.-W Nathaniel

near Tenth, discovered a number Of
live chickens on his bed he was SO in
dignant that the publicity he gave to
the matter resulted in the arrest of
Edward Watkins, also colored, of

1t is charged, stole the poultry from
store at Eleventh and Rodman streets
for a chicken dinner which he intend

tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis was organized, there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives exist
ed, and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth In anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary Of the
National association, In commenting
on the subject. there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one of the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words.
we have from 250,000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
IL tuberculosis Is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
Of infection must be provided"

To tone the skin add little alcohol
to the wash water.
If the skin is red and oily, avoid

Elder flower water is a pleasant To-

Sage tea made moderately strong is

Never use very hot water to wash

Scars which are not deep may be
