SUMMER HERE TONIC II.
 LONGEST DAY OF YEAR

Today is the longest day of the year, fact which will doubtless be agreed to by the two candidates for governor who are awaiting the out come of today's primary election. The sun rose this morning in the latitude of Arkansas at 4:52 o'clock and sets this evening at 7:10. There will be little difference, however, in the length of the days for the next week. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the sun will rise one minute later and set at the same time. After that the sun will set one minute later, 7:11 D. m., each day until July 10, but will also rise later, until by July 10 the days length will have diminished five min utes.
 Summer, which has been with us for several weeks so far as tempera- ture is concerned, will officially begin at 7:01 p. m., Central time, tonight.

PLEASE READ THIS.

4 striking example of rich mans reliance upon life insurance as e sure anchor against misfortune is brought out in the will of the late A. D.. Brown, wealthy shoe man of St. Louis. Each of his daughters are hen- eticiaries under life insurance policies providing for an income during their entire lives of $125.O0 per month. By his wise provision, he has assured his children a modest income for life, re- gardless of the vicissitudes of his own investments. Would you like to see a policy of this kind? You can carry a policy of S10,00O for a small premium. See J. D. Dunaway.-dtf

CENTRAL MEDALS HERE.

Prof. Utermoehlen received yester- day two medals which were awarded at Central College commencement to the young ladies who received the highest yearly average in piano and violin. They are beautiful musical emblems, and the piano medal goes to Miss Glenn Kirkland of Plumerville, the violin medal to Miss Mary Cure ton of Conway. Miss Cureton was the "Central' representative in the violin contest at Little Rock.
 All other colleges either failed to enter or withdraw. The judges would not award medal under these circum- stances, but awarded cup to Central" for upholding the association. We hope other colleges will enter contest ants next year.

The Scout Pictures.

Editor OF The Virginian:
Sir.-Saturday evening the scout move
ment as shown at the City auditorium There
was large crowd OF boys present, and
needed only to look at the boys who
scouts and those who were not, 10 see that the
movement is great for boys.
The scout code is high. and no boy could be
a scout without being better hoy. well as
a more useful boy. and. therefore, better and
more useful
The pictures were presented in story form
bringing out the value of the training To boys
and contrasting the helpIessness of other boys
Herewith. They showed the result Of drink
and other bad habits and the sorrow which
comes to the mature man and the trouble
he brings upon his children what the chill
dren become under such influence and how
they may be redeemed by the scout move
ment,
The story ia full OF useful points and one
could only wish that all the mothers and fathers
in America could sec them It Is believed that
they would that their boys become scouts
at once The movement is good and so
high. that the writer feels that word through
your paper TO It's readers may do some good,
