l.. E. Halter of Conway, who ship

Tri-State fair at Memphis, has al

500 for the best display of farm pro-
ducts, according to C. r. Piercey, who
returned from visit to the Memphis
fair this morning. Mr.. Piercey said
l.. 3. Pence of this city had won first

Protect the Snake.

Accentuating the idea In an editorial
in The Sunday Star that birds should
be protected as they are the farmers
friends, and their destruction would be
followed by the destruction OF the hui
man race. comes the suggestion
that snakes should also be protect
ed. This from the RecordHerald is
instructive:
Legislation to protect snakes that
are harmless to man and destructive
to rats, mice and other creatures OBJ
noxious to farmers Is being sought
in several states. according to Prof
II. D. Bailey Of Muhlenberg college, a
Pennsylvania institution. In a recent
lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the
king snakes, the milk snakes, the
butte, the corn. fox and indigo snakes
all valuable allies OF the farmer and
commended efforts to increase the
number OF bull snakes, which, though
large, are harmless and abound In
some western states.
As mans knowledge OF nature in.
creases. he finds many creatures useful
or harmless to his interests. and he
should act accordingly. Many snakes
are benefactors of man. according to
authorities, and once the instructive
dread Of them disappears through
knowledge and familiarity there ID
nothing Objectionable In their pres
ence.-kansas City Star.

WHEN LIFE NEAaS ITS CLOSE
Physical Changes That Paraiyze. lin
Varying Degree, the Mind and
Limbs Of the Aged.

One Of the chief tragedies OF oncom-
ing age Is the increasing difficulty In
moving about and In grasping new
ideas. Limbs and wits both become
less nimble and agile.
1t has now been discovered to what
this condition Is due. Certain sub
stances separate themselves from the
gray matter OF the brain and cause a
thickening in the cells OF that part Of
the brain lying under the frontal bone,
forming a gland-like body. which
scientists call plaques" These
plaques" are ray-shaped kernels.
more or less irregular In form and fire.
quentIy assuming the shape Of crys-
tails.
Just what substances cause the
growth OF plaques" by segregation
from the brain matter, scientists do
not know. But they do know that
these substances are the substances
which make for nimbleness, quick
ness, ease OF thought and movement.
The favorite place of the plaque, the
front portion Of the brain, Is also the
part of the brain which becomes dis
eased. in cases OF paralysis, so that
some biological analogy exists be-
tween difliculty OF movement and
speech and impossibility OF movement
and speech.
The plaques" are found chiefly In
the rind Of the brain. Very rarely
they attack the spinal column. II
present in minute numbers, the per-
son attacked shows only the milder
symptoms of old age. slowness OF
movement. fatigue. inability to under
stand quickly. If presented In large
numbers, senile dementia, one of the
most horrible conditions into which
the human body lapse, occurs.
They attack the intellectual and the
dullwitted people alike In old age.
for some OF the brightest minds be-
come afflicted with dullness and ap-
parent stupidity. even to senile de-
mentia In some instances. On the
other hand people who have always
been dull-witted, even illiterate, are
afflicted In a like manner, 50 1t can
not be claimed the affliction IL due to

NOT ALWAYS SOLEMN
GONE CHEERFUL MOMENTS IN
LIFE OF UNDERTAKEN.
Profession Not a. Grewsore a. an
Outsider Might Naturally Imagine
why Customer Counter
manded Order for Casket.

Ours Is a solemn business" said
an undertaken. land yet there hap
pens in it something over which all
concerned can reasonably be cheer
full
The grewsome old time comm has
now been all but supplanted in use by
the modern burial casket, which in de-
sign and finish is as far from coirin-
Ike Ia appearance as 1t Is possible
% make 1t, and which Is also made in
very great variety as to the materials
used and styles Of finish and cost.
1T Ia not uncommon now for per-
sons In health to indicate the sort OF
;asket in which they desire to be
buried when their time shall come
and sometimes such person may Sc
lect and buy casket to be held for
him. 1t Is out Of these modern changes
in our mortuary customs that We get
the occasional cheerful note of which
spoke.
Some years ago there came to us
to order a casket members OF family
whose head was then, as supposed
mortally Ill; that he must die appear
ed beyond doubt; and it was desir-
able to make preparations for this
event in advance because the casket
required was of unusual size, and it
was also desired that 1t should be elab.
crate In construction and finish. We
had the casket ready In time, but
when the casket was ready the man
began to improve in condition and he
continued to improve; and in the
course Of time he recovered his health
and strength completely.
Then there was the family with
that casket on hand, of which he had
no knowledge whatever, and they
came to us to dispose Of it. which OF
course We readily agreed to do. 1t was
costly casket, though that was nc
impediment to its sale. for we make
and sell many beautiful and costly
caskets; but its unusual size was
against it. ard it was some time be-
fore We finally disposed Of it, which
we did at considerably below It's first
cost. But this was loss which the
original purchasers were very glad to
sustain.
we once had a customer who had
lost his wife and who came to us to
bury. her, which we did After the
funeral he came back to lis. He had
selected the casket in which his wife
was buried and now he bought one
just like it for himself. He was q
man in health, with no prospect OF
death. so far as that was concerned,
but he was greatly gr!eved and cast
down over the death OF his wife, and
when he should die he wanted to be
buried in casket just like that In
which we had buried her. So he
bought this casket and we held 1t fol
him.
Something more than a year after
he met another woman with whom he
fell In love and whom he married: and
after that we got letter from him
saying:
"'sell my casket. I've no use fol
1t now"

co IMPRESS Will BE
FINISHED OCTOBER |

The first bale of cotton will be COM
pressed in Conway next Monday, ac-
cording to the present plans of the
Conway Compress Company, who are
rushing the completion of their plant
in the southern part of the city. When
the contract for the installation of
the plant was let, October / was fixed
as the date for the completion, and it
will be one of the few big installa-
tons to be ready exactly on time. The
unusually early opening of the cotton
season will cause the company to lose
the compression of about 1000 bales
this year, but the officers of the con-
Germ feel that they are doing well to
have the plant in operation by the
date provided in the contract.
