"A bull-frog under a plank=walk
would seem, at first blush, to besa
singular theme for newspaper space,
but the queer antics of one in front
of the Methodist church attracted
more than passing notice. 1t was
on Saturday, and all day. long he
apparently held the one position,
quiet and passive when not disturb
ed, but paying his respects to every
pedestrian by giving forth that pc
euler croak, the sound of which we
could not indicate by any combina-
ton or formation of letters. II re-
sembled somewhat the after-dinner
rift of a 'corpulent dyspeptic with a
sort OF tremolo prelude, and
whether he intended it as a saluta-
ton or a protest, no one could tell,
All day long he carried out his
monotonous programme, resting
quietly in his shiny bed until some
one passed Immediately over him
then giving vent to the peculiar
ercak so imperfectly described. His
strange bshayior simply attracted
the attention of some passers-by,
Isome were amused, while Others
grew thoughtful and moralized
How like the two-legged croaker
found in every town, and then how
unlike him: The frog was at the
nouth of a foul little sewer; the
town eroaker lives in the slough OF
despond, each taking his observa,
tons from a low, unhealthy plane;
neither one changes his tune, the
frog sticks to his familiar croak;
the other repeating to every strang'
er aad on every occasion his same
doleful little tale Of woe: "The
town is dead and the people are nc
good" About the only way II
which they are unlike is that the
town croaker is not fit for fish-bait
and there's no excuse for killing
him. and he just croaks on.

TO MAKE A DUSTLfSS BUSTER.

Pour parafine oil over dust cloth
but do not saturate it. The dust
is removed and furniture or wood
work frightened without raising a
dust. It is better than heavier oils
like linseed, as it does not stick
and collect the dust afterward. -

MOTHERS DAY

Last week the announcement
was briefly made that the Monterey
Methodist Sunday School would
observe Mothers Day, the date
of which is fixed By it's founder
and is the End Sunday in May. The
observance of the day last year by
the school was regarded as one of
the prettiest and most impressive
services ever held in the church,
and it may be said that the same
impression prevails wherever the
people can be brought to take part
in the service ard enter into the
beautiful sentiment and spirit of
the day.
For want ofspace we cannot give
the origin of the day, its marvellous
growth and popularity throughout
the whole country, but suffice it to
say that the idea was conceived by
good woman, who had a good
mother whom she loved and whose
memory she revered.
AS we understand it there is
nothing UNCONVENTIONAL or sectarian
about it; it is not an institution of
any church, but the thoughless,
reckless boy who can be induced to
observe it, proves that there is
good in him and is made better
thereby, Perhaps the founder
would sum up the whole idea in a
single sentence something like this:
AS long as we honor and reverence
motherhood, we exalt manhood
and womanhood.
While a programme will be pre-
pared and rendered by the Meth
odist Sunday school, you need not
necessarily attend this or any other
other church service in order to OBJ
serve the day. You are simply Ie-
qucsted to wear white flower on
May 12-wherever you
may be-in honor of your mother.
A white carnation is the Mothers
Day flower, but in the absence of
this, any white flower may be sub
1t may be stated here
that so popular has the day become
that florists have been unable to
fill only a small per cent. of the Orr
ders for carnations on that occasion,
While May II is too early for
the blooming of potted plants in
our climate, beautiful wild flowers
will be blooming by that time, and
a tiny bouquet of these worn by a
son or daughter oil or young
will mean just as much as the car
nation; Honor and love for moth
er, if living, and reverence for her
memory if dead and gone.
Let US all remember the day and
observe it.

DWELLING BURNED

= The home of Mr.. William Arm
strong, on Dry Branch, this coun-
ty, was destroyed by fire on Tues
day evening, the blaze originating
from a defective fue or pipe.
Mr.. Armstrong had been in town,
and, with his sister, Mrs. c. A.
Dickson, was nearing home when
the alarm was given. Most of the
HOUSEHOLD goods were saved.
We have heard no estimate of
the loss.

CIRlulI COURT.

Inc spring Iertn vi lhc olloui'
court convened on Tuesday morn
ming, ''under a clear sky and stiff
breeze" 1t was one of those very
frosty spring mornings, not uncom
mon in our climate, when q fellow
riding to court, finds his garb en-
tirely too light, and comes in chill
ed to the bone.
Judge Holt who with other pas
sengers, was delayed at West Au-
gusta by a broken automobile axle,
reached town abnut $50, and an
hour later took charge of the court
in this his new territory. 1t will be
recalled that Judge Holt presided
at one term of the court, several
years agh, while Judge Anderson
was i'll, and sojourning at the Ar
kansas Hot Springs, hence the new
Judge did not come as a stranger to
our people
Judge Holt referred, in a casusal
way, to the fact that the dockets
were all new to him, and wolfe nee
essarily Handicapped to some extent,
he disposed of he usual frst-day
business of the court, impaneled
the special grand jury, and if the
"wheels of justice" were retarded
to any extent by lack of familiarity
with local conditions, the on-lookers
could scarcely observe it.
The first day was taken up with
the usual preliminary routine, the
filing of DEGREES, motions, etc., and
the impanel'ng of the special grand
jury.
The. grand jury, after sitting of
a day and a half returned nine
true bills, all of them for INSIDE
meanors, and most of them of
minor character.
The special venirie for the term
was summoned for Wednesday
and the case of the Com
monwealth VS.. Gil Bland for shoot
ing one Arthur Rexrode, was taken
up. The scene of the trouble was
in the Straight Fork section in the
extreme northwest portion of the
county, some of the witnesses be-
ing from the Fendleton side. 1t
was A. L. Jones's first case as COM
monwealth's attorney and B. Fl.
Hiner appeared for the accused.
The jury soon disposed of the case,
about the minimum pen
alty-S5.OO fine and three days in
Jail.
A case of widespread interest
and holly contested is on trial to-
day and not decided at time Of 60
ing to press: Groves and Lukens
VS.. Rexrode is the. style of the
case, and the matter in controver-
sy is two steers. There is form
liable array of counsel on both
sides, Hiner, Curry and E. b.
Jones representing the plaintiff,
With Timberlake, Calhoun and A,
L. Jones appearing for the deten=
dants. There are number of wit
nesses from a distance who have
been summoned to testify in this
case.
1t is thought that court will not
adjourn before Friday or Saturday
morning.

After the bumper fruit crop in
Highland last year, a comparative
failure was generally expected this
season, two big crops rarely ever
following Ia yearly succession, yet
the outlook for another fruit crop
especially those varieties of APP
piles best adapted to this climate
IS promising in many sections. Of
course this forecast is contingent
upon weather conditions, the late
frosts being menace that must be
reckoned with until toward the mid
die of May. Barring this danger
and Highlanders have come to re-
gard it as probability rather than
possibility-the county will have
fruit again this season.

Diet For the Pests

1t begins to look rs II the destructive
brown tail and gypsy moths and the
pestiferous caterpillar have been con.
quered at last. A simple diet of let
tuce leaves, it has been found, is the
easiest and best way to get rid of
them. All that you have to do If the
caterpillars are spelling your shrubs
and trees Is to catch one or two OF
them and feed them on some lettuce
that has been soaking in water four
days. After they have eaten all they
care to. turn the caterpillars loose
again. They will do the rest.
The explanation is simple 1t has
been discovered that watered lettuce
leaves give caterpillars the cholera.
One caterpillar so infected quickly
spreads the disease among its fellows.
In Massachusetts the epidemic Is
spreading among caterpillars. brown
tails and gypsies, much to the delight
OF the state entomol0gists, who almost
despaired of ever getting rid OF the
pests.
A caterpillar suffering from cater
pillar cholera or wilt disease soon
stops eating. according to the explana.
ton offered by Professor William Reilf
OF Harvard. 1t becomes weak and
lazy and usually crawls up ON some
object. as the trunk of tree. fence
a wall or other vertical surface. where
1t remains without motion. In n few
hours there drops from its mouth a
blackish liquid; the caterpillar becomes
more and more tlaccid. one leg after
another loses Its support, ANA finally
the creature reduced to black skin.
hangs dead, still holding on with one
or two OF Its false feet.
