The Frying-Pan Club.

While not blessed with riches, autos nor many of the up-to-date convent enees, and all it's members coming within the Oster age, the Frying Pan Club certainly enjoys life to the full est extent. Half dozen congenlal spirits compose the membership of the Club. and many outings have been enjoyed, each one pronounced the bsst in succession, which Is true in the main, for on each occasion some mem- Der develops some new characteristic which adds to the comfort or amuse- ment of all. as for instance: Uncle Jack Davis, a worthy member of the Club. whose skill as fisherman and hunter has been often questioned, de- veloped into a first-class paddler on the occasion of the fishing outing the Club had at Fishing Lake last Tues day
 Three members 0f the Club-E W. De eRositt, Jack Davis and Col. Ed. Landyoigt spent Tuesday at Fishing Lake, the greatest fishing resort in Eastern Arkansas Within two and half hours fine string of croppie rewarded the anglers, and it was on this occasion, as referred to above, that Uncle Jack won his laurels as an expert navigator
 As fisher the following verse by Silver Bill, the poet of Griggs town ship, depicts Uncle Jacks success:
 Take my bait, cried Uncle Jack
 Down in the depths beneath him.i
 Take my bait" o Croppe pomoxys,
 Come up from below the water,
 Let us see which is the stronger
 Long he sat waiting for nibble,
 Waiting yainly for a bite,
 And repeating loud and louder,
 Take my bait, O King of Fishes"
 The party is indebted to MT. Jim DeRositt for dining, consisting of snap beans and bacon, pork and beans, fish and potatoes, corn bread and bis cult coffee etc. The piece de resistance was dish of Mulberry Sellers Rus sian Turnips Frappe was also served.
 While the government is diligent in investigating the cause of High Cost of Living, it fails to strike in the low place. The turnips which cut such a prominent figure in the above dining, consisted of bunch of twelve, rang ing in size from an egg to baseball, cost . cents. At this rate bushel would cost s6: 300 bushels can be rais- ed to the acre. Figure it up and put it to the credit of High Cost of Living

up the big menagerie, and the other
property which is sight that old
as well as young never tire of.
At about the noon hour the free

three bands and a steam calliope
to furnish the music for the occas-
ion. The usual balloon vendors
were busy among the crowds with
their wares during the morning.

Keeping It Up

The Register warned the repub-
lican voters during the primary
campaign that the only object of
the Daily Crouch Was to split the
party and keep the split stirred
up until this fall. and any one who
has been reading it's daily wall now
realize the fact. When the pri-
maries and convention were over
all real republicans were ready to
quit and did quit. The Crouch
though. true to the plan 1t had
mapped out. has been keeping up
the fight continuously and is per-
sonally attacking leading republi-
cans with the purpose OF disrupt
ing the party. The prejudices of
the former editor and real owner
are too apparent in all these at
tacks to leave any doubt as to the
power behind the throne. and the
work of the alderman-editor is eq-
ually in evidence. As the organ
of these trouble breeders 1t will
continue to deal out Just such slush
until the election Is over.

MIME. STEPHALI
 SINGS AT LECTURES

The possessor of a rich omezzo-soprano voice of fine quality, wide range and un- usual sympathy, the eoncert-lecturer, Sofia stephali, gave much pleasure when she sang yesterday under the auspices of Pel- ham chapter, U. D. c.
 Her voice has been carefully trained, for she has all her life been a close and intelligent student of vocal art, and she has a thorough knowledge of what con- stitutes artistic workmanship.
 Her singing is distinguished by refine- ment of style, sweetness and purity of vocal quality, charm of manner and freedom from artfciality.
 Her lectures on musical themes are not only practical and logical, but are withak so simple in their methods of presentation, that even a child can understand and grasp their meaning.
 Non-musical people who do not know one note from another never fail to en- joy Stepha1i evening, for her message is not limited to the pfofesN onal musician or those among her auditors who, by thorough musical education, are equipped to grasp the meaning of the deep and hid den beauties in the tonal realm.
 In arranging her programmes she does not overlook the mother whose musical knowledge does not extend beyond the ability to sing a simple lullaby to her babe: the father. who, wearied with the perplexities and problems incident to a day in the business world, seeks enjoy ment and refreshment in the concert hall. only to be insufferably bored, because the music is all beyond his reach. and planned solely for the pleasure of the cultivated musicians of the audience, and her en- tertainments here were most successful
