STATE CONNECTS
 TO WORK LEVEES POO Will Be Rushed From
 Pine Bluff to Aid the
 Levee Board. IS AGAINST THE LAW But People of Arkansas Will Not Con. deMn Officials For Their l Action.
IS AGAINST THE LAW

Little Rock, March 27.-In open violation of the law, backed by the Acting Governor and Attorney Gen. eral, the Arkansas Board of Peniten- tlary Commissioners will send 200, or as many convicts as can be spared from the State Farm, to the aid of the St. Francis levee board in saving the levees on the Mississippi river. The convicts will be ready to leave the farm today, and will go to Var ner, thence to McGehee or Pine Bluff, to be taken to the point de- signated by President 0. N. killough, of the leyee board.
 President Killough sent urgent messages to Acting Governor Futrell and members of the Penitentiary Commission Thursday afternoon, ask ing for convicts to help protect the weak places in the levees. As the law requires all convicts to be work ed on the State Farms, and prohibits leasing of conyicts in any way, the Commissioners appealed to Attorney General w. L. Moose for advice. He informed the commissioners the law is very plain, but as this is an emer- gency, he thought the people of the state would commend, instead of con- l demn, the action of the Commission if the convicts were made use of in l fighting the rising waters.
 Acting Governor Futrell, when ap- | pealed to, also said the law was plain, but the only power the gover- nor had in dealing with the Peniten- tiary Commission was to appoint it's members, and in case they did not do their duty to remove them for cause. He would not consider the violation of the law, such as taking tho prisoners to the levees to pro- tect property of the state, he stated
 sufficient reason to remove any mem Der of the Board, but one for appro-

We have a life-sized painting of Stephen Brundidge refusing to accept a United States senatorship if a vac ancy should occur with him in the governors office a few days. It is amusing to note the assumption ot MT. Brundidge that the state is "go- ing to the bow-wows" if the people dc not elect him governor.

HONOR AN OLD RESIDENT

Camden, Ark, March 27.-On the fortieth anniversary of the day Or which Nose Stern entered business here, a meeting was held in his hon- or at the city hall today by local business men. Mayor A. l.. Morgan presided and introduced the speakers. Louis Bauerlein, cashier of the Qua chita Valley Bank, delivered the prin- cipal address of the day, taking for his theme the sentiment that it is our duty to pay tribute to a living man instead of waiting to send flow CTS to his burial.
 Adolph Felsenthal, D. V. Snow, president of the Boar dof Trade; c. D. Gee, J HI. Morgan, J. J Starks, s. B. Proctor, J. H. Parker and Lute B.. Stone made brief speeches. MT. Stern responded in a humorous inn promgtu speech of thanks. It was thoroughly characteristic of the speaker and went right to the spot in the hearts of his hearers The meet ing was gotten up as surprise to MT. Stern. After the business men had assembled at the city hall, Mayor Morgan called up MT. Stern and asked him to come to the auditorium for few minutes. He was complete ly taken by surprise when he walked in amidst the cheering of the fifty

school. Driven tc despair, County Judge Joe Asher appealed to Attorney General Moose for an opinion on the matter and was informed that the county court can commit the offending boys to the reform school for as long a term as it sees fit. Judge Asher will now proceed against the boys in keeping with the opinion.

ne'ghbors are telling similar good news:

by a steady ache over my kidneys. IT,
lay in n position long, the trouble was
more noticeable. It was also difficult
for me to stoop or lift. I knew that
these troubles we're caused by disorder
ed kidneys, for the kidney secretions
we're too frequent in passage. On hear
ing Doan's Kidney Pills highly spoken
OF, l was induced to try them and I was
glad to find prompt and positive relief.
After taking the contents of four boxes,

THE XAMPLE OF A
SMALL COMMUNITY
How Winter Haven Is Pushing Itself
to the Front.

The day of small things Is not to be
despised, nor is the example Of small
communities. Winter Haven is a small
place in Florida, but it has civic aspi-
rations just the same. Among others it
wants to present a clean and decent ap-
p%earance something our larger cities
do not always PRESENT.. Here is how
Winter Haven went about accomplish
ing its desire. The words are those of
the Florida Chief:
Thursday was the day that several
had promised to help clean up the park.
At the appointed time three men, a boy,
a mule team and a moving machine
appeared or the scene of action. To
Manager Bass of the Glen st. Mary
nursery is due much praise. He was
there with his mules and mower. A. G.
Nydegger and j. N. Ackley were also
there with their muscle, and the writer
sauntered around. Now we had figured
on doing the hot air part, but upon ar
irving we found that others Of our es-
teemed citizens had overworked. that
side of the street, and we were COM
PEELED to roll up our sleeves and help
gather up the trash that some careless
looms had thrown around. Anyway, the
park was moved and the trash picked
up, and you are invited to enjoy it's i'm
proved appearance"
One commentator thinks three men,
a boy, an editor and a mule rather a
small proportion, but if the same pro-
portion were to hold in all the cities it
would mean a mighty big change. The
editor of the Chief seems to feel that
there is hope. Here is the way he puts
the case:
"This town is growing. and now is
the time to start park improvements.
1t will be a heavy burden for three or
four men to do it alone, but we have
the men here who will do it if you
don't help. But now listen: If they are
| allowed to do it alone the Chief will
see they get the credit, so the general
public will know whom to thank in
years to come. If you allow 1t to go
this way, don't come around and
whine later on that this paper is run
in the interest of three or four men,
because you see by the paper that they
have done something. We are here to
chronicle the acts of live ones. We
are willing to do the best we can in
the way Of obituary notices, but draw
the line on trying to pump breath into
a corpse"
Is there not a lesson in this for other
communities than Winter Haven?
