TREATY WITH
 RUSSIA AFTER
 75 YEARS EnDS
Relations of U. s. With That Country to Re on Principles of Interna.iOna Law
Not Thought That Termination of This Agreement Will B ing Any Tariff W ar at St. Peters bug,

Washington, Dec. 31.-After life of so years. the commercial treaty between the United States and Russia terminates, today, and the relations of the two countries after tomorrow will rest on the principles of inter national law.
 While the abroga ton of the treaty leaves this country at the mercy of Russia's excessive tariff duties about 25 per cent. higher than the rate under the abrogated agreement it is tacitly admitted here and at St. Petersburg that there will be no tariff war.
 The treaty of 1882, which was or dered discontinued by President Taft when Russia refused to cease dis crimination against American Jews in Russia, was one of the broadest en- tered into by the United States with a foreign power. Under it's terms was provided reciprocal treatment of the vessels of either nation while in the ports of others, mutual inter change of commerce and navigation rul es for the settlement of estate of persons of one nationality who died on the soil of another country, t'most favored nation" treatment in all mat ters of exports and imports and regu- lation of the power of consular agents. It also provided for treat rnent of deserters from the navies of the two countries.
 American interests in Russia are valued at $225. 100000 and there are about 400 of our citizens residing there-far less than the number of Russians in this country.
 The bureau of statistics estimates that this country sells to Russia each year about 50.0O0.000 worth of manufactured products or about tvo- thirds more than Russia sells to this country. Because of the difference in the volume of marketable products of each country, however, experts de- clare that Russia's loss through a tariff war would be as great or great CT than that of the United States.
 Another weapon which this coun- try possesses to prevent discrimina- ton by Russia is the fact that over half of the American merchandise and food products sold in Russia are handled through European jobbers who in many cases re-brand the arti- c1es with their own trademark. Amer jean trade with Russia has increased nearly 25 per cent. in the past f1 e years and with the development of that country and the completion of the Panama Canal, experts declare it will be one of this country's most valuable customers. For that reason, manufacturing interests. 1t is believed, will bring pressure to bear on the coming administration to enter into a substitute agreement.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
Aping Other Folks Manners-Don't Copy Stage Gowns-Nor Initiate
 Freak Habits of Speech.

In these days when women and girls seem to think 1t correct to copy the dress and napners Of stage favorites, Q, little proper admonition should be given.
 Actresses unquestionabdy are de- hgf1tfu1 to contemplate in their won woman who sits in an orchestra chair at a matinee and decides to give her dressnaker instructions to copy some especially olpt Of the ordinary gown, should remember that it is good adver- ttsing for the stage favorfte to wear something str1kingIy new. She should also bear in mind that just as the foot lights glare calls tor facial makeup that would be grotesque in daylight so the extreme fashions, t1nquestion- ably smart in some drawing room play or show girl review, are not adapted woman
 Aping manners or pronunciation that are obviously acquisition on the part of the original user, and doubly So when 1ad1ed out second hand, is to confess a lack of originality and self dependence. To acquire knowledge or information from reliable sources is conmendabde. But to ape not know ing whether the authority is reliable or not but merely copied because there has been introduced a novelty is ri- dicuIous
 z I know a charming girl, desirou1s of being called intellectual, who r11sl1es biindly after every new lead in Iiteras- ture.
 If she were to hear the word "cat'' pe<ono11nced ''coot," the next time she was in g. company which she wanted to especially illuminate, she would bring in a cat story for the sole pur- pose of springing the new pronuncia>- tion.
 Then if any one appeared to doubt the authenticity of "coot' she would quote wit absolute assurance that ie must be right because she had heard so and so use it.
 All this aping leads surely to ridi- cule. Whether it is a question of dress, department, or dietion, adopt only such as has the hall mark of good taste and good authority.

 One of the most attractive new cos tunes is of sapphire blue velvet trim med with chfnchf1la or fox fur.

 Combinations triumph in evening gowns. One side of the bodice will be cream tulle and the other of rasp- berry velvet.
 Among the latest fashions in man ties and fur wraps, the three-quarter and short lengths seem to be most popular.
 A most striking costume is of black and white. The white satin skirt buttons down one side and is draped on the other with black velvet. With cred slightly into a high waist belt

first CARLOAD OF
PEACHES SHIPPED
FIRST PICKING INFERIOR
SELECT ELBERTAS, HOWEVER,
WILL FOLLOW AND WILL
BRING A GOOD PRICE.

The first carload of peaches is be-
ing shipped from Conway today, and
will be forwarded to st. Louis. Most
of the INST picking is of an inferior
quality, and the car shipped today is
not expected to bring a good price,
but with tomorrow's shipments, care
fully selected and culled Elbertas will
be sent out and they are expected to
bring about 81 per bushel basket,
which is considered a very profitable
price.
Shipping Agent g. L. Mays has
two representatives here looking af-
ter the shipments. Another car will
be shipped tomorrow and beginning
Wednesday from two to four cars a
day will be shipped for several days.
The peach crop here is decidedly
the finest ever known, but Mr.. Mays
urges all growers to be careful to
Gull the fruit and pack only perfect
peaches. The SIZE, he states, doesn't
make much difference, so long as
there are no defects and the fruit
is at the right stage of ripeness.
The first efforts to raise canta-
ioupes will, it is thought, prove a
complete failure here. Worms have
attacked the few that have matured,
and a Kansas City cantaloupe expert
who went over several fields in this
vicinity yesterday, says he doubts
whether there will be any at all fit to
ship. The same trouble, he says, is
being experienced at Russellville,
Morrilton and other places. Canta-
loupes are scarce and high this year,
and if any escape the attacks of the
worms they can be marketed by ex-
press at good prices.

Another boil weevil scare is avert

none my cotton fields around Cato or
any other place in Faulkner county,
SO far as known. The announce
ment in Saturdays daily Log Cabin
Democrat that three specimens of
the genuine Mexican boil weevil had
been sent by 7. B. Proctor of Cato
to the Faulkner County Bank was
correct, but it failed to include the
important qualification that the Wee
wills were found m Texas and
brought here in bottle
Copies of Saturdays daily did not
reach Cato until this afternoon, and
Immediately after reading the story
J. E. Hogan called up the Log Cab
in Democrat over the long-distance
telephone and stated that the weevils
sent here were brought to Cato by
w. D. Springer from Texas, where
he had been visiting for some time.
In sending the specimens to the bank
Mr.. Proctor failed to mention where
they were obtained.

From Wednesdays Daily
IAN increase of 496 in the number
of persons of school age in Faulkner
county is shown in the annual re-
port of County Examiner J. M. c..
Vaughter completed today. A copy
Of the report was mailed today to
the state department of education,
and it will doubtless be the first sub
m:tted in the state, as only three
days have elapsed since the time for
closing the report, July 20. Prof.
Vaughter states that he has secured
reports from every district in the
county.
While healthy increase is shown
in the enumeration, the enrolment
shows a slight decrease from the
1911 report. The enrolment and
daily attendance figures, however,
are not considered reliable, as many
of the directors merely give esti-
mates and do not take the trouble to
verify Their figures by the teachers

Following is the summary of the
statistics for the county, with those
of the preceding year for compar-
ison:

Examiner J. M. C. Vaughter by for

with 1919 in 1911, and 1,16O in 1910.
The enrolment for the past year
