A THANKSGIVING SALE
That is in Keeping With the Spirit of
 the Day.

The Pilgrim Fathers when they in stituted our national Thanksgiving Day, gave thanks for their bount1ful crops and deliverance from dangers that we at the present time know nothing about. On the other hand
 we have many things to be grateful for that were unknown to our fore fathers; one of these Is Cheerful Credit It is a real blessing as given by Caesar Misch, Inc for by its sim pie operation anyone, without excep- ton, who has an income may buy what they wish at this Clothing De- partment Store. In recognition Of this fact a, Special Thanksgiving Sale commences tomorrow at this store, offering not only Cheerful Credit to all who wish to open a charge ac- count at this time, but also special values, so much below the regular prices that considerable money is to be saved by attending this event. The wearing apparel for ladies, misses, men, young men, boys and children is warranted to be of dependable qualities and in the latest fashiona-
 ble styles. So well equipped is this store, that entire families can be fit ted out from top to toe--Adv-

The woman's Home Companion in Its December issue carries on it's cam paign for Better Babies by publish ing an article entitled How to Make Babies Better" by Dr. Roger H. Den nett. a New York expert on children's diseases Following is an extract from the article the subject of food for children:
 The indiscriminate eating of indi- ge=tibIe food, such as many adults eaf, is a practice to be condemned Fried food of any kind, with the ex- ception of steak or chops, is harmful to the child, because the fat with witch it is fried is cooked into the f.Jt,d and surrounds the particles Of which it is made up, that the dt- gest1ve juices cannot act upon them.

TEN THOUSAND
 ELkS MARCH
Arkansans Are Generously Ap. plauded in Big Parade At
 Rochester.

Rochester, N. Y, July 1O.- Ten thousand Elks, it is esti- mated, participated in a parade today in connection with the orty-ninth reunion of the grand lodge. They came from every city in this country, from Alas ka and from Honolulu. Even Manila had a representative who rode in an automobile. The pa- rade was led by Grand Esquire w. s. Mccormick. The mother lodge from New York carried a banner inscribed "Organized February, 16, 1868."
 Fort Wayne made a burlesque of it's part in the procession. A banner reading, Hold Your Girls, Fort Wayne Is Coming" " was displayed in the front rank and following marched Roman centurions, Greek slaves, sultans and pashas. The parade and a water carnival that attracted about 150,000 persons to Gene see Valley park tonight, were features of the fourth day of the convention.
 The uniformed patrols of many lodges this afternoon com- peted for prizes in a drill at the park.
 At the afternoon business ses- sion some changes were made in the constitution and by laws of the order. They were not made public. At the conclu- sion of the night session the off, cers elected Tuesday were in- stalled.
 The Arkansas exhibit in the Elks' parade of July 10 received a big ovation all along the line of march. The exhibit consisted of two touring cars handsomely decorated with flowers and the new flag of Arkansas.
 Both cars were filled with the representatives of the grand lodge of Arkansas. District De- putty George D. Locke of Rogers was second in the race for grand treasurer, retiring after the se- cond ballot. c

 Conway, July H. Special provisions are now being made to care for young women stu dents at Hendrix College, through the remodeling of the home Of former President A. C. Millar. This will be a woman s hall under the charge of Prof w. o, Wilson, who has the chair of mathematics, and Mrs. Will son. In former years the young women attending Hendrix had difficulty in securing boarding places, and as Hendrix was looked upon much as a school for males, the attendance on the part of women was not which it otherwise might have been. IL is to overcome this that the spacious residence is being remodeled.

May Move Reform School.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 11.-Unless some plan for making the pres ent reform school self sustain ing, the next legislature will probably be asked to abandon the present site and purchase one where the boys can be work ed at a profit.
 The present institution locat- ed seven miles south of Little Rock, is located on 200 acres, most of which is on a slate ridge, which is absolutely untillable. There are Q few acres which produce fairly well, but they will not raise a sufficient quantity of anything to operate the canning factory placed on the farm last year. The heating plant, the 1 lighting and pumping stations, Iuse wood for fuel, and the boys have about denuded the place, now digging up the stumps in order to supply fuel. Supt. Dea- ton has been given the slabs from a small mill a short dis tance away, and these are being used to conserve the states tim Der.
 The handle factory which was placed on the farm last year can not be operated for lack of tim Der. If logs are purchased, the receipts from the sale of the finished product must go into the General Revenue fund. The money to pay for the logs must come from the maintain ance fund for the institution. Under this arrangement, the more logs purchased, the poorer becomes the institution, and the more money goes into the treas ury. The annual appropriation is now only S15,500, against IS21,OO0 for last year, conse- quently Supt. Deason does not favor the purchase of logs.
 If the institution was located upon tillable land, the boys in, carcerated there, could soor
 make it self-sustaining. The
 buildings and land now in use
 are valued at about $25, ,OOO, but
 the boys would make this bacl
 in few years, if the location
 was changed.

STANDRIDGE DON'T

 In Wall.
Special 10 Independent.

Special 10 Independent. Little Rock, July 11.-Fifteen minutes more and Yates Stan dridge, the B year convict re- turned to the Little Rock peni- tentiary Thursday morning, would again have been a free man, but the timely arrival of Capt, Lem Smith at the McAles- ter jail prevented.
 Standridge, one of the most desperate men ever incarcerated in the Arkansas penitentiary, was arrested near Eufala, and Capt. Smith was sent by the pen itentlary authorities after him. The escape was turned over to the messenger and having sev- eral hours to wait between trains at McAlester, Capt. Smith thought it would be safer to put Standridge in jail until train time.
 Capt, Smith was advised by the McAlester jailer that his building was too strong for any man to break out of, so he left Standridge and went out to take a look at the town. He returned just in time to get his man, for only one course of brick in the exterior wall of the jail remain ed between the convict and lib- erty.
 After being placed in the jail Standridge tore out a drain pipe and climed up through the ceil- ing. He found himself still in jail there, with little chances to break out. He then returned to the ground floor and discovered an ice pick with which he set to work on the wall. He had re- moved brick sufficient to make a hole through which his body would pass, all except the outer course. Fifteen minutes later in 1 the return of Captain Smith, and Standridge would still be at large instead of back on the State Farm, where he was taken Friday with a bunch of convicts recently received from Sebastian county.
 The penitentiary officials are now trying a new system on des- perate men of Standridge's class. There are twelve men in a squad, all of the kind who will make a
