 REJECTED BY SENATE
SENATOR CLARKE CONTINUES FIGHT ON CARAWAY IN PAR
 AGOULD CONTEST.

Washington, July 18.-Twice with in week the senate has rejected the nomination of postmaster at Para gould, Ark About week ago the nomination of Albert $. Snowden was rejected. Congressman T. H. Cara way promptly recommended George T Breckinridge in place of Mr. Snowden and the nomination went to the sen ate only to meet fate similar to the Snowden nomination. MT. Breckin- ridge was in Washington yesterday trying to prevail upon Senator Clarke to agree to his confirmation, but his mission was unsuccessful.
 He left last night for home and in the meantime Congressman Caraway is busy preparing an open letter to Senator Clarke, who is said to be re- sponsible for the action of the senate in rejecting the Snowden and Breck- inridge nominations.
 In the meantime, J. H. McPherson, Republican, continues drawing a salary of $2,500 year as postmaster at Paragould, although his commis- sion expired January 25

COTTON WORMS
 NOT DESTRUCTIVE

The specimens of cotton worms found on the Alfred Bedford place, near Mt. Vernon and forwarded to County Demonstrator John w. Par Her, who in turn forwarded them to State Entomologist G. G. Becker at Fayetteville, are none other than the cotton square bOrer, according to MT. Becker, and are not destructive to cot ton. MT Becker's reply to MT. Par Her is as follows:
 "The worm which you sent me sometime ago transformed to the pupa stage before it got to me, and I am now waiting for the adult insect to emerge l wish to say in advance, however, that l am quite certain that the insect in question is none other than the cotton square borer (Ura- notes mellinusi.
 This insect is usually very severely infested with parasites and does not as a rule, get to be serious on this ac- count. The insect may become trou- blesome at times, but l am of the opinion that 1t will soon be controlled by the parasites. Unless it's injury and damage Is prolonged unduly would not, therefore, undertake any special treatment for it..
 "Where the attack is severe and it becomes necessary to do something, the only practical means of controll- ing it would be to dust the cotton with arsenate of lead powder. In a little circular which recently got out on the Cotton Army Worm, you will see directions fer dusting this poison.
 Hoping that this is the informa- tion which you desire.
 "Very truly yours,
 GEO. G. BECKER,
 "Entomologist.

SAYS LEVEE DISTRICT
 LOST OVER SI0O, 900
LOOSE METHODS OF COLLECT ING DELiNQUENTS SAID TO
 BE CAUSE.

The St. Francis levee board, in ses- sion at Marion yesterday morning, woke up to the fact, through Capt. J. T. Burkett, special auditor picked by Gov. Hays to sift the boards affairs to the bottom, that the taxpayers of the district have lost fully S100,000 since 1909 because of the loose and un- businesslike system of collecting de- linquent taxes and, in some cases, the criminal carelessness of delinquent tax collectors or commissioners In fact, the substance of Capt Bur kett's comments was that the district had been mixed at every turn in the matter of taxes. While deploring that sort of mismanagement and mildly censuring the board for putting up with it, nothing in his audit showed a dishonest intention on the part of the lsvee board> He attributed the situa- ton to lack of system and to the de- linquent tax collectors, or commission CTS, in the district.
 You are getting only IT per cent of your delinquent taxes" so Capt. Burkett's report ran, 'and the re- maining 83 remains in the hands of the commissioners. The conditions surrounding commissioners settle
 ments in some instances so palpably suggest fraud, of which the attorney for your board has cognizance, that a
 remedy for this condition of affairs is most earnestly suggested

Russellville, July 17.-Conway do- mated game of baseball to Russell vile yesterday, to 1. The visitors outplayed the locals in the field, and at the bat the teams were about evenly matched. Conway got a bad start, when two Russellville men crossed the plate in the opening round on errors. After this period, how ever, the "Invincibles' frightened up anl played fast, snappy game. l Charles pitched for Conway and the youth showed class throughout the eX- hibition. He allowed the local slug gers but seven hits. Rogers operated on the hurling hill for the locals, and was effective in pinches.
 A one-hand stab of a hot liner on second by Thomas Moore of Conway was the bright feature of the past 1 time. Dowdy of Russellville played a nice game at short.
 The final game of the series will be played this afternoon.

YOUR TUMlMY.

During this hot weather it is
wise for people to know some
thing about their internal econo-
my, and especially Of the anato'
my of their digestive organs. upon
which so much depends. The
normal human stomach will con-
tain about 145 cubic inches, or
five pints. What goes into this
receptacle is of the utmost I'M
pOrtance During extremely
warm weather fermentation is &C
tolerated and digestion retarded.
1t is therefore imprudent to over
load the stomach or to put into it
food that is difficult to digest AS
long as the space is filled, as long
as there is something for the di-
gestive organs to work on, the
sense Of hunger is destroyed.
Food is fuel. The most import
ant function of food is to furnish
heat at the body, and in hot
weather that heat is furnished ex-
traneouslv and without cost, and
very often more than is necessary.
Light food that is easily digesti-
BILE, and an abundance Of pure
liquids Of a cooling nature and
entirely free from stimulating
properties, should be taken. A
very light breakfast is satisfy
inc for the time being, and just
as soon as the stomach Graves for
more food another small supply
should be taken, but not enough
to be cumbersome, or to Obstruct
the processes Of digestion. A lit
tie nourishment taken at frequent
intervals will insure not only I'M
munitv from the evil effects of
heat. but it will promote and
perpetuate health and keep the
mind clear. Those who indulge
to excess at any time endanger
their comfort and health, and IN
hot weather the danger is many
times multiplied, and enormously
increased. The weather which
kind providence sends us is
adapted to man. if man will only
adapt himself to the weather.
This can be done by simplicity
and temperance, both in eating
and drinking, and by rigorous alb
seriousness in the matter OF
stimulants.-Memphis News Scim-

BULL MOosES AND OFFICES

Some Of the former Democra
tic headers who have marched
into Nj. Parker's Bull Moose
part have res gned the purely
honorary Offices which they held
in the organizations. But none
has so far shown the spirit OF rea:
sacrifice which self-amputation
of his paying job would man :
fest.
That leads the Lake Charles
Times to say:
"It.is not out Of order to ask
again why Hon. Wilson 7. Peter
man, the sheriff Of st. Mary par
ish, does not resign his office that
some Democrat may be chosen to
succeed him. Sheriff Peterman
was honored with this office after
an appeal made to the Democrats
Of his parish. Mr.. Peterman
cannot, OF course, be forced to
resign; but The Daily Times
agrees with many Democrats Of
the State that it would be the
graceful thing for him to do"
The Times view is correct,
speaking from an ethical stand
point, but we have not the slight
est idea that Mr.. Peterman or any
other Bull Moose officeholder will
accept it.
So long as the party laws are
so loosely framed that man may
keep one foot in each party at
the same time, as the Lake
Charles American remarks, none
Of our seeding friends is likely
to give up the substance he holds
while he chases the shadow.
Moreover there is very indica-
ton that the Bull Moosers pro-
pose to fight against any change
in the laws. Some old-fashloned
Democrats at Baton Rouge have
been trying to lay down the
proposition that a man shall not
Ill under different political col
ors at the same time; but the con-
gestion in which the Assembly
now finds itself makes it not I'M
likely that those who want to eX-
pertinent with new party but
leave aback-door open for re-en-
trance into the Democratic party
will succeed in defeating the eff.
fort to do so.-States.

BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.

1t is always hard to recognize
a blessing in disguise. 1t woulc
not be disguised if it were, easily
recognized. We are familiar with
the argument that the Mexican
boil weevil was a blessing in
disguise but it is probable that
there are some Texas farmers
who would be willing to forego
all blessings if it were necessary
that the boil weevil be classed as
. blessing.
The boil weevil compelled the
cotton farmer to diversity or
starve. It did not make him
turn successfully to other crops
for a money crop, but it made
him raise chickens, hogs, few
cattle, vegetables and stock feed,
because he had to have them, and
the boil weevil has robbed him
of his money crop so that he could
not sell low-priced cotton and
with the proceeds buy high priced
food for his family and feed for
his stock. ~lA~
J The boil weevil also compelled
cottor farmers to do peter farm.
Jig. DR.. Knapp showed them
how to beat the boil ,Teevil to it
by raising cotton earlier, and in
order to raise the crop earlier it
was necessary not only to plant
earlier but to resort to intensive
cultivation. This showed the
farmer how to raise more cotton
to the acre and better cotton.
The cotton farmer had a hard
time Of it and the lesson coS him
money and hard work, but it may
re that he is now better GH thar
he would have been if the boil

The Mansfield Enterprise in its

tain country schoolhouse in that
parish. In one view is shown
shabby old shanty that orig

bright young woman from the

persuasion and the awakening OF
roper pride among pupils and
patrons, the building has been re-
placed by a pretty building, sew
eral times larger than the old
ones, grounds laid out and kept
clean. The second pictures shows
the new building with a group
of happy-faced youngsters in the
foreground, the boys using a
split-log drag. The girl teacher
meanwhile had taught over sixty
pupils-too many by half for one
teacher-but she evidently put
the full force Of her personality
as well as her physical strength
into it for she taught them &C.

OF course she was an excep-

many other girls on the threshold
as it were, of teaching, who are

business; so much a month. II

vocation also, how the waste

ers are missionaries as certainly
as those who GO forth to China or
