 EXHIBIT FEATURES

features at the 1913 stock exhibit at the State Fair, which will be on q greater and grander scale than ever.
 One of these features will be the exhibition for the first time in the South of herd of Dutch belted cattle. These remarkable animals were zeal ously guarded by the Holland govern ment for centuries and it is only with in very recent years that any of them have been exported from that country.
 It seems right that this exhibit should be made by an Arkansan and the herd promises to attract more than statewide attention, as the Breeders of the country regard this strain of the bovine as the coming combination beef and dairy cattle.
 The Live Stock Department of the 1913 fair will surpass in size and quaf- ity of exhibit and in importance to the people of the state any former ex- hfbit of live stock in Arkansas. This was evidenced by the fact that the national breeders association in all classes of animals have given the Ark ansas State Fair full recognition this year and have offered the national as- sociation premiums for prize winners. It is only at the greatest state fairs of the country that such recognition is accorded, and with the year 1913 the Arkansas exposition steps into it's rightful place as one of the big state fairs of the country.
 This means much to the farmers, the dafrymen and stock breeders of Arkansas. At the fair will be shown the pick and choice of the great Here they will have an opportunity to study the different breeds of stock and determine for themselves what line of breeding is best adapted to the cli mate and conditions of Arkansas, and which breed will bring them the great est profit.
 The cattle breeders of Texas, Okla homa, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee and many Northern and Eastern states have been entered for competition, while the most prominent breeders of horses, swine and sheep from every section will be at the fair with their blue ribbon winners.
 In the cattle department will be seen Dutch Belted, Shorthorns, Here lords, Jerseys, Holsteins, Aberdeen Angus and Brown Swiss; in the swine department the always popular Duroc- Jerseys, Poland Chinas, Berkshires, Yorkshires and Tamworths; in the sheep pens the Cotswold, Southdowns, Shropshires, Oxford Downs and Meri- nos, and in the goat pens the native goats and the Angoras. Every class of draft, driving and saddle horse will be seen in the arena and at the horse show.
 The farmers of Arkansas will find the coming fair the greatest showing of live stock and the best opportunity to see and study the different classes that has ever been offered the people of the state.
 To meet the demand for more ex- tensive entries the management is al- ready providing additional facilities for housing and showing the live stock, and both breeders and visitors will find at Oaklawn park the greatest live stock arena to be found in the South.

THERE, ARE SIX WOMEN
 WHO CAN KEEP A SECRET

Washington, Dec. 16-If there's anyone in the United States or any ether country who doesn't believe ' there's a woman in the world who can keep a. secret let that person apply to the United States House of representatives. Any member of the House can point out 10 the un- believer, six women who keep thou sands of secrets, and valuable se- crets, too, every day in the year. These six women might be called the champion secret keepers of the country. The story of the six wo- men who can keep secrets is thus told by Representative Sherley of Kentucky to a recent addition to the House.
 Secrets, more than two thousand g. day, bearing on the most import ant questions of statesmanship and Legislation, pass over the telephone lines of this capital every twenty four hours and never has one been told. Six women over there in the House Office building, plugging those switch boards, hear these confidential talks.
 The tariff, trust prosecutions, pa uonage, lobbies, love, politics, cur
 a. cussed over these wires among men iu the councils of the nation. These are big news items. Many a story which has been imprinted and which would startIe the curious and ab- sorbing public if told is known by the Big Six. The male knocker who say women cant keep secrets is dead wrong"

MINER AND HIS COMPANION
 ARE \ MONTH OVERDUE

The friends of Fred Greene and his companion, a man named Max, are becoming anxious on account oI their failure to return or send back word as to their whereabouts. The men left valdez on October 6 with a dog team belonging to Dan Wilt sy. They promised to be back by November 6 and are now nearly 9 month overdue.
 Greene and his companion start ed over Shoup's Glacier to try a territory which they could see from the top of the mountains near the Gold King mine. They believed tha they would be successful in finding good trapping ground, as few per sons have ever crossed the glacier and divide. The district is in the southern end of the range in which the Nelchiua diggiugs are located and the miners intended to spend the winter hunting and prospecting
 They took along an outfit suttl- cient to last them for some time, but the fact that at least one of them has not returned with the dog team is couidercd grounds for alarm The men are old timers in the country and are well able to care for themselves under any ordinary circumstances. It is possible that they were not satisfied with the looks of the district as a game country and are making their way uorthward toward the Nelchiua.
 When the men left on the trip travel on the glaciers was at the most dangerous period. The crey- asses were filled with the loose snow which would not bear the weight of a team. During the summer a dog team dropped into 8 creyasse on Shoup's glacier and could not be recovered by the drivers. The dogs were running loose but were hitched together, and when one broke through the thin crust of snow covering the crevasse it drag ged the others to their deaths aI- so.
 Those who know Greene best are confident that he will turn up all right with an explanation as to the deIay.-Valiez ProspectOr.

BIRTH RATE IN ENGLAND

The rate has been gradually declining since 1876, when it was 36.9 per thousand. It is now only 23.S per thousand The growing reluctance of the men and women of England to assume barren tai responsibility is sLown by the figures of average age at marriage in the past year--29 years for hUs- bands and 27 years for wives. Fur ther, it is discloed that the ratio of births to the number of married women of potential age has decreas- ed 34 per cent in the past three dL cades. In other words, if there
