PINE BLUFF NEARLY
 4 DRY" TOWN No Saloon Licenses for 1913 Were Considered Last
 Night.
NO APPIICATIO MS
1 But Adjourned Meeting of Council Will Be Held te Consider
 Them Dee. .IG.

Ii if had not been for the geueros- itE of the City Council last night in adopting motion to adjourn until Monday, December 90: for the pur- pose of considering applications for saloon licenses for 1913, Pine Bluff might have been dry town" for the first six days in January. Only a few of the saloon men had applied to City Clerk Lee for application blanks and as the city clerk had none OH hand no applications were received last night. If the applications are not act ed on before January l the aloons cannot operate until they are.
 Alderman Fred Fox favored spe- cial or social meeting for the con- sideration Of saloon licenses. Alder man Chestnut objected to holding g. special meeting. saving that he did not think $40 or the taxpayers money should l!e spent for a special meeting when there was no necessity for it. He argued that the saloon men ought to know when to present their appli- i cations, and added that as the city clerk had no blanks the applications of only those who had applied for them should be considered. Alderman Hut said that he was willing to meet and not receive any pay for his "spe cial service Alderman Well offered 1 to do the same thing.
 1 The matter was finally disposed of when Alderman Well moved that the council adjourn until December 30. 1 The motion was seconded by Alder man Fox. Under the law councilmen will receive no pay for attending an adjourned meeting of the council. It. 1 is expected that all the applications l will be ready for the copncillnen at their next fneeting.
 The council refused to grant re- quest of Tom Hill, of the Hill Adver- Using Company, to be permitted to
 keep an old frame building on the lot adjoining the Elks Theater He had
 been arrested for violating the fire ordinance and the case was pending. The council voted to enforce the fire ordinance to the letter and directed
 the chief of police to remove every old
 frame building in the fire limits with
 in thirty days.
 On motion of Alderman Veil the II city employees were allowed their pay
 for December, which will be given
 them today If the council had not
 taken this action the city employees
 would have been without Xmas money,
 as they are not usually paid until the
 first Monday in each month, the next
 pay day being January 6.

Mary Deane was a baby when her
father organized and went with this
expedition AS the years passed and
nothing was ever heard Of Roger Deane
Mary's mother came to consider him
dead and married again Other chill
dren were born. Mary grew to woman
hood and went out from her home,
made unpleasant to her by her step
father and her half brothers and sis
tiers. Roger Deane's estate had been
administered upon under the interstate
law, and the stepfather and his chill
dren managed to get all there was OF it
After they had used it-and there were
many mouths to fiIl-Mary saw that
they were anxious to get rid Of her. 1t
was then that she went to work to earn
a living. Those who knew her father
said, what pity that he didn't leave

One morning q hunter In the noun

companions, sat down on a rock to

tie in wheat fields, the plants being Of
suitable age to be inviting. The bugs
which later escape from their hiber-
mating quarters may find corn, oats or
barley reaching an inviting stage of
development.
Either the cleanest kind Of culture
should prevail over the farm in late
summer, all grassy and weedy borders
around fields and along fence rows be-
ing kept closely moved to prevent the
development of suitable Information
quarters, or else these should be allow
ed to grow vigorously SO as to entice
in late fall as many Of the insects be-
meath the shelter as possible. In early
winter after the insects are nicely set
tied or else in early spring before they
have Weakened into activity, burn over
all such retreats. If it is impossible or
undesirable to burn over woodland re-
treats, the leaves and trash on the
ground may be collected and burned if
the prospective damage by the insects
exceeds the value of the humus that
would be destroyed by burning. If a
bushel or so of leaves are collected
and carried into a warm room, keeping
them covered with cheesecloth, a day
or two will determine If many cinch
bugs are hidden among them, since the
insects will crawl out and show them
selves as soon as the chill has passed
from them. The wheat stubble in
young clover fields can be burned when
the ground is frozen hard without in
jury to the clover, but probably INSULT
cient heat would be developed to kill
the over wintering bugs However,
with their shelter removed it seems
probable that alternate freezing and
thawing might destroy many of them.
