REVIVAL MEETINGS AT CHRIS THAN CHURCH TO BEGIN NOT LATER THAN OCTOBER 23.

II is now definitely announced that the series Of meetings at the Christian Church will begin not lat ee than Wednesday, ocober g. The exact date cannot be annouhe- ed on account of the fact that the evangelist is engaged in q meeting at Hartshorne, Ok, and is unable to say just when it will close
 The meeting will he conducted Iby Evangelist Ernest House, Yhose home is al Albany, Mo, and the singing will be in charge of MT and Mrs j. Y. Baird Evangelist House is probably oHe of the most successful mon in his line of work that has eyer come 10 Springdale, cessf.i They are now engaged in a meeting at Hartshorne, Ok, and and his singers are equally as sue after fhe meeting had been i'll pro- gress for tWo WC eks the fiartshorne Sun, whose editor is one of the leading members of the Methodist Church there, made the Following mention of their work.
 .:Fla sesies Of meetings being con= dueted in the Christian church by Evangelists House and Baird is growing in interests and enthusi- asm. To date there have been if teen additions and the end is not yet There is notable difference in the methods of Evangelist House in the conduct of his meeting 10 that of the average evangelist, in that he resorts 10 no means that would cause undue excitement. but rather his sermons are characterized by an earnest, calm appeal to one s better nature Tie evangelist takes the position that while under his system there is not that enthusiasm born of emotional persuasion. yet there are fewer joiners and more genuine conversions, and conso- quently the results obtained are more enduring.
 The song service under the di= rection of Mr Baird is very strong feature of the meeting He has a voice with volume and full of melody, and under his leadership the choir is rendering some old fashioned soul-stirring music,
 Mr House is about the busiest evangelist We ever aside from his evangelistic work, he has what he terms his junior work. which requires volumes of daily cores pondenee his field being limited only by the broad confines of the United States The magnitude of his work is indeed wonderful He is naturally a high salaried man, but every penny he makes. aside from his actual living expenses, he puts back into the work to which he has consecrated his life
 Owing to the interest being man ifested it is announced that the meeting will continue indefinitely The prospects are bright for good results The meeting should enlist the support and encouragement Of every Christian in Hartshorne

AT THE COUNTY FAIR
Corn Club Boys Make Fine show

The fina! results of the Boys Corn Club contest in Washington county can not be announced until Noyem Der Some of the corn is still too green to harvest, and for that Teas on most of the prizes will not be awarded till later In spite Of this fact the exhibit at the fair was uH- usually good, and the boy 5 de serve q lot of credit for their display. The following ten contestants, III the order named, won the ten cash prizes offered by the fair Associa ton. Julian Dyer, Fayetteville; Donald Jones. Greenland; Dan Karnes, Pnkin; Jake Harrison, Prai- rie Grove; John Schaffer. Grenland; B. L. Pfaff, Springdale; Ralph Hayes, Blackburn; Frank Gibson Pennington Carlos Wilson.

 Julian Dyer won also the $10 spe- eial offered for the best bushel Of corn by W. c. 0wnbey. Second prize, a corn shelier by Farrar and |co., was awarded to Dan karnes.
 There are several facts that should be called to the attention of Corn Club members. Many that made good yields fell down on their reports Others failed to plant good Iseed in tie spr ng. and their x iB= it's did not score very high. IL fs also a fact worthy of mention that all the best yields were made under shallow. intensive cultivation Those boys that cultivate their crops with the double shovel alone, all fell be- low the average The figures can not very well De given now, but this will be done as soon as the second contest comes off, November H2.

HOLDING UP" POSTMASTERS
Republican State Committee Tells
 P. Ms to Come Across Ii

It doesn't pay to hold little postmastership under the present Republican regime, if one is to judge from the letters Arkansas Ipostmasters are getting these days It is a costly business, because ev- Iery few days the bosses are calling for the coin Evidently the list turned over to Gordon Campbell, treasurer of the Republican State Central Committee, who Is not an office holder, mind you-get that point, because it has an important connection with the federal laws of the United States-is badly drawn up. because every now and then he cracks the whip over d Democrat holding small fourth class post mastership.
 With the state campaign over and the presidential election coming on II must make Arkansas postmas- ters nervous to open their mail For instance, J. N. Smith, a Demo crat holding the fourth class post office at Ivan, has received the following letter.
 The national campaign is now on and We desire 10 make an er- en better showing than We did in
  ly interested in assisting the party in those states that elect Repnblf- can presidents. You were called on in a previous letter 10 contribute s4 10 the campaign fund. Up to date have received no remittance. We are rendering aid and desire to render additional aid to the treas urer of our national campaign com mlttee. This matter should not be delayed. It takes money to run campaigns, and the national treas urer needs every dollar that can be raised. l tfnst you will promptly respond by remitting the above amount
 Our Democratic friends are can Vassing the state through personal appeals, and they are receiving ready responses from men holding no positions, as well as from those who do, Why should You not have enough party patriotism to respond to this call as others in our party nave responded not only those who are holding office, but those who are not holding office, and believe ln the principles of the party and want to see our splendid prosper- ity continue.
 The contest is between Taft and wilson am sure you don't want to see another period of depression like that of '93 to '96, when mil lions of men were walking the high ways and hyways out of employment begging bread under free trade leg lsiatlon, which MT. Wilson and his party again promise to give us if they are successful.
 trust you will not require me to Write you another letter but will respond at once so that We can rem der the necessary aid to the Na- uohai committee. Very truly yours

 In connection with this letter Mr smith writes tke Gazette as follows.

 On Thursday of last week our community was greatly shocked by the sad intelligence that Carl Van sandt was dead While many knew he was sick but few realized he was in a critical condition. He was taken ill the Thursday previous with what was thought 10 he a malarial attack but which quickly developed into typhoid pneumonia land though he had every attention from doctors, nurse and lo, ing rela- tives. he sueeumbed to the dreadful complication and breathed his last al 2.15 p m Oct. ,. 1912 The news of his death brought a pail ot gloom in our midst for Carl Was d general favorite. as he possessed a cheery disposition, was jovial and always seemed to look oil the bright side of life, making the cares of those with whom he came in contact disappear by his happy good natured spirit.
 Carl was the youngest son of J. ]. Vansandt and wife, was born and reared on the farm where his brief earthly career ended and was al the time of his death 2l years, ! months and l 3 days of age His funeral was held at Sonora the day following his demise. conducted by Elder W c Tucker of Springdale. attended by a large e0neourse of relatives and friends. who patient ly awaited the arrival of Zed a brother from Wamego, Kansas, who phoned from Springdale that he would speedily come to the last rites of his brother. and very af- fecting was the scene when the be feaved ones met and the brother was permitted to look on the face of his young brother once more and for the last time After the ser vices the remains were conveyed 10 the cemetery near by and tenderiy laid 10 rest by the hands Of loving associates in life, witnessed by rel atiyes and friends who Were deeply grieYed to give Up one so young to the grim messenger Of death II is indeed sad for one in the bloom of health, up to fatal illness, and only on the threshhold eff life, to be taken, but death is the common lot of all and We can only bow in humble submission 10 the inevitable. Carl's place in the home is Yaeant, his voice no more will be heard. thus making the home for the pres ent desolate And while time will assuage the grief caused by the grim messenger of death, his mem ory will ever be cherished by his loving parents. brothers. sisters telatiyes and hosts of friends

 Law for Game Preservation.
 Another strong effort is to be made in the next Legislature to Sc cure the enactment of q law for the preservation and protection of game and fish E. \. NiSart, Secretary of the Arkansas Game and Fish Protective Association, is delivering lectures throughout the state, and circulating d petition among the farmers. requesting the Legislature to pass an act that will prevent the rapid deeimation Of remaining wild life n the state
 The bill that has been drawn ls designed merely as suggestion lh- dieating the lines along which II Is believed the greatest good may be accomplished. Where II is under stood Mr. Eisart finds that there is practically no opposition to the bill, and the farmers are anxious that it be passed.
 The bill provides for the appoint ment of three commissioners by the governor, with the consent ot the Senate One shall be well vers- ed in game conditions, one shall un. derstand fishing and the third shaii be an expert in forestry Ae chairman shall receive salary of S2,500 year, and the other com missioners shall be paid per diem while on duty. They may appoint such deputies as they may cohSld- CT necessary to enforce the law, anu these deputies shall reeei"e rom $75 to $125 per month for their services. dependent upon the char acter of their services.
 IL is proposed that the work shall be self-sustaining, and that the fees shall pay all the expenses of the Commission. \ fee of } l for resident hunters is provided, and s15 for non-residents. One license covers hunting and fishing. and is good for one year Farmers may hunt on their own land without paying license, and their children
  every way the eXaction of bufdeh- some licenses is to be avoided
 Arkansas is the only state in the Union that has no law for the IT. eensing of hunters and flshefmeh' and it is urged that unless llnine- diate steps are taking, the wild=llle will become extinct in our woods, and the fish will be gone from our streams.
 eIt is the duty of the press to as sume a much larger share Of the burden of wild-life protection than it has ever before assumed. de clared Secretary Nisart. Tt is in the power of the press of Arkansas to save the remainder of our Wild life if it will. I can go into the different counties of the state and talk to the people. but l cannot reach the great masses of the peo- pie whom the enactment of good game laws will most benefit, the famerrs.
 There are a great many farmers in Arkansas who do not understand that the birds are their best friends and to protect the birds means to protect the crops The passenger pigeon has become extinct and the next candidates in Arkansas for early extinction are the quail, tur- key, woodcock and deer. l appeal to the farmers of Arkansas to in sist upon their representatives vot- ing for a game law" sa

Alcohol and the Brain.


Scientific inquiries into the func-

that the finest tissues of the brain
are the instruments for the ex-
preston Of mans highest and
noblest faculties and powers, i. ~,
those which lift US above earth's
clamor or selflshness and strife
and enable us through aspiration,
patience, forbearance, benevol-
ence, charity, rectitude and love
to obtain self mastery. Now,
therefore, as alcohol is q progress
