Good Mining Progress at Mineral.

D. A. RiIner Of Mineral was in Mena Monday. He reports that much work is being done on the Davis mines, and that he is also working on a shaft on his farm and is having good luck. A pump was put in the Davis mine last Monday, and has been throwing a big stream of water since. Mr. Ritner believed that the water would be low enough for the miners to go to work Monday morning. The ore which comes from this mine con- tains zinc, lead, copper and silver.

The week ending Tuesday, Octo- Der 2i, saw a couple of close calls for vegetation as on two occa- sions, Sunday and Monday mornings, the temperature was low enough to have allowed for killing frosts had conditions otherwise been right.

The following report comes in from Big Fork township
 Good Roads days in Big Fork township were not as generally ob- served as they should have been, but a small crowd turned out and went at the work with a vim.

Good Roads in Big Fork Township

J. D. Cogburn, who lives on Mill creek near Big Fork, was in Mena Monday. He says the people of Big Fork township are very much worked up over Good Roads, and are working nearly every day, and doing good work, too. The fact that the very best material for road making is nearly always right at hand is a great help in that locality.

WILL TEST, GRADE,
 PACK LOCAL EGGS
T. $. Department of Agriculture Travelling Refrigerating Car Spe- ciaIists Will Show How to Pre-
 pare for Long Shipment.

Uncle Sam's special Egg and Poultry Refrigerating and Demon stration car will leave Poteau on october 29, and is due to arrive in Nena on October 30 about 8 o'clock. The egg shippers and producers along the road already visited by the Department of Agriculture poultry shipping car have expressed themselves as highly pleased with the demonstrations given in their towns. At each stop the specialists in charge of the car, Mr. Il. c. Pierce and MT. A. D. Greene, have tested. graded, chilled and packed without charge local eggs for the local shippers.
 When the car reaches Mena it will be located on the side track most convenient to town. The dem- onslraGons will begin at 8:3O o'clock and continue until 4:30. The car will spend one day in this place.
 The two department specialists on this tour will give special attention to eggs and their proper preparation for shipment. They will also give demonstrations to those especially interested in the most approved methods of dressing, chilling and packing chickens and turkeys for shipment to the New York and other distant markets.
 Thousands of eggs will be can dled according to the commercial standards, and fresh" eggs, float CTS" blood rings" white rots," "black rots" and other grades will be exhibited. The demonstration in detecting white rots" is said to be very important as many candlers confuse white rots" with fresh eggs. The eggs will then be sorted by market standards of size, clean Illness of shell and condition of shell. These gradings will show exactly the standards now set by commits sion men in distant markets.
 The eggs will then be put into the refrigerating rooms of the car, which will chill them to 10 degrees Fahrenheit in twenty-four hours. Eggs chilled in this way before be- ing put into the ordinary refrig- orator ear do not deteriorate rap idly. Eggs packed warm in a re- frigerator car do not get chilled properly for about five days, during which time they undergo constant deterioration.
 The chilled eggs can then he loaded in cars for shipment. The demonstrators will show the most successful plans of using filters, flats and buffers, placing and num- Der of nails, and the best way of storing cases in the cars. The eggs thus packed, the local owner will he free to ship to his market with the certainty that they started right from his warehouse.
 All interested are cordially invited to attend. The car itself is well worth seeing, as it contains the principles of a thoroughly modern poultry and egg refrigerating plant operated by it's own gasoline engine. 1t also provides it's own electric lights, so that the refrigerating rooms can be we'll lighted and night demonstrations can be held. This same car spent last season in Ken lucky, and shippers who followed It's methods were able to ship tur- keys for the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade in New York in such a way that they reached the eastern markets in prime condition m spite of the abnormally warm weather last autumn.

GEORGETOWN DEBATERS WIN.
Cornell Defeated in Arguments for
Recall of Judicial Opinions.

The debate last night between Cor
nell and Georgetown universities was
won by the team representing George
town, the Cornell debaters falling 10
convince the judges that the people can
interpret the laws made for them.
The question for debate was the re-
call of judicial opinions; the Cornell
team supporting the contention and
Georgetown taking the negative side. The
judges, John Burke, treasurer of the
United States; Representative Graham OF
Illinois, and F. II. Newell, chief of the
United States reclamation service. were
unanimous in their vote.
The main contention of the visitors
was that the courts are slow in up
holding laws for the general welfare
of the people, and that because of tho
Difference to aged precedents the peo-
pie did not enjoy the benefits of mod
ern legislation to the full. The Cor
nell team also contended that laws
pronounced constitutional in one state
are often declared unconstitutional in
another
The Georgetown debaters declared
the plan was not feasible because the
people could not get at all Of the facts
where a complicated statute Is in.
volved, while the courts can. The diff
ferences in laws in various states. the
Georgetown students maintained, were
due to differences in the state consti-
tutions, and to the fact that some laws
are badly framed and must be rejected
until properly phrased.
The Cornell team was composed of
William ID. Smith and Howard G. Will
son of New York and Remington Rog-
ers of New Jersey. The Georgetown
debaters were Ashton H. williams of
New Jersey and Horace III. Hagan of
Oklahoma.
