LOVED HIS COUNTRY.

Speaking of war causes me to re- call this short story of the war be- tween the North and South, in the last days of the Confederacy.
 General Longstreet observed soldier in tattered clothing standing in mud and a beating rain during a temporary halt of the column. The soldier was soliloquizing for the ben- eft of the bystanders. Il love my country he said: T could die for my country.
 .'Breathes there man with soul so dead who to himself hath never said, This is my own, my native land
 But if ever do get through with this war-if l do get through sure enough-I'H be hanged. if I ever fall in love with another country. "-Oz- ark Enterprise.

CITY ELECTION
 WAS ILLEGAL

It seems that Springdale did not hold an election last Tuesday. Some eleven voters cast their ballots, under the direction of regular sworn judges and clerks, but the method of the el- ection was not according to law and seems irregular The Board of Count Election Commissioners were not ad- fised Of the election, and as they must be so notified according to law. the election here has been thrown out. No poll books or ballots were provided, and when the election day came around the judges called at the News office, as they have done in years past, and will continue to do in the future, for the poll books and tickets. None had been supplied, and old ones were substituted, the can didates being scratched out, and the names of L. NJ Riggs and \ J. Fur pen. the candidates. written in ink Mr Riggs was candidate in Ward 1. and Mir. Turpen in Ward l. Eleven votes, papers, or something were cast in Ward I, but mary one in Ward I The ballots and poll books were sent to County Clerk George Appleby, and he turned them over to Dan Allen. chairman of the Board of Election Commis- sioners. When the returns were op. ened it was found that five of the votes cast were by the judges and clerks. and were written on slips of yellow paper The expense of this @fiasco" 10 the city amounted to $4250. and it seems that another election must be held. In comment ing on the election, among other things the Fayetteville Daily says.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the election commissioners are by law designated to direct and hold all elections in the county. they knew nothing of the election until the ballots, poll books, tally sheets. etc. came to Commissioner Dan Al- ten yesterday, via County Clerk Ap- pleby, who has no connection with the holding of elections.
 The Brundidge.Hays poll books were used. dated June T, 1913, and Lab sheets ot the Aetna Fire Insur- anee Company were used as ballots. There were eleven votes east, five of which were cast by the judges and clerks of the election. and all of these were east for L. NJ Riggs.
 The incident resolves itself into the situation that the fourth ward of Springdale has no alderman.

52 CARS APPLES
 SHIPPED OUT
 THIS WEEK
BIG BULK OF APPLE SHIPPING PASSED-PRlCE REMAINS LIN. CHANGED DURING WEEK.

Apple shipments the past week have been heavy, some fifty=ftve cars being sent out. Saturday, of last week, broke the records when nineteen cars were sent out. This is the largest single day shipment this year, and will probably be the greatest. The price this week has remained steady. 65 to So cents for Ben Davis, and Sl to sl.20 for Wine Sap, Mammoth Blacks, Collins and other fancier var ieties. Vinegar and eyaporator stock remains inactive, the price of last week holding firm. Last year, at this time, the eyaporators were pay ing seven and one-half cents, and went as low as six, this year the price has approximately remained at ten cents throughout the season.
 The big bulk of the apple shipment is over, the past week being big week" Apples in ear lots, and lots of them, will be shipped until late in November, but the big rush passed with this week It is now predicted, and safely, that this years output will not exceed four hundred cars. The early season rush has passed and shipments will now dWindle to slow pace Mos. all dealers and sellers are supplied who buy in this market, and refilling orders will take most of the attention of the growers and buy CTS.

How to Keen Your Cake.

Cakes that contain a great deal Of
fruit and spice or nuts develop a fine
flavor as they are kept-in fact, a nut
cake is not at its best for at least a
week after baking, and a cake that
contains much fruit and spice is better
when it is at least a month old.
If you pack a cake fresh from the
oven in brown sugar, it will keep
fresh almost as long as you wish-for
two months, or even more.
Another plan is to take a cake still
warm from the oven, and ice it lightly
with any simple, quickly made icing
just scraped over the surface; or brush
it over with heavy sugar strip, then
set it in the cake box with a jelly
glass or other small vessel halt. filled
with water, or two or three green ap-
pies cut into halves or quarters The
water or the moisture Of the apples
keeps the cake from becoming dry

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Four Hints That Will Be Found Well
Worth While FASTING in Your
Scrap Book.

Not a crumb of bread should be
wasted! Hard crusts can be dried in
the oven and turned into brown bread
crumbs. Stale pieces soaked with boil
ing water and a little milk make ex-
cellent bread pudding.
To Keep the Fre.-When you have
finished with the kitchen fire for cook
ing purl oses take some fine coal dust,
put it in a strong brown paper bag,
damp it and put it on the top of the
fire. The latter will burn slowly for
hours.
To Keep the Yolks Fresh.-Yolks of
eggs can be kept fresh for many days.
Put about three tablespoonfuls of wa
ter into basin, drop in the yolks and
leave in cool place.
The Cook 8ook.-A small piece of
glass placed over a cookery book when
lying open on the table keeps it open
and enables the cook to read the recipe
without handling the book with sticky
fingers. A glass from a photo frame
or small picture would do.

Russians Near Cracow.

London, Dec. 4-Interest in the
war is now centered almost entirely
in the struggle between the Russian
aud German hosts.
At last the Russians have APP
preached within three miles of the
outer fortifications of Cracow. their
steady advance from Przemysl having
proceeded without any real check.
Important as this is-for the fall of
Cracow would lay open the roads to
Vienna. Breslau and Berlin-the main
interest in the East continues to rest
with the operations on the irregular
front from Gem tochowa through
Lodz and Lowicz to the East Prussian

Fierce fighting is now taking place

more or less along the whole line, but

Ypres and on toward Dixmude. The
fighting has been most severe, but all
assaults have been repulsed by the
allies.

Details of the Battles.
London, Dec. 3.-The German army
in north Poland has formed a new
front and at some points has resumed
the offensive, according to the best in
formation obtainable from the eastern
scene of war
The kaiser's forces, with the aid Of
re-enforcements, have succeeded in
escaping from the ring the Russians
had forced around it, and from Berlin
comes the message that in these ma
neuvers, by which the Russians were
checked. $4,000 of the latter have been
taken prisoner.
The Russians in a statement issued
through Rome say the number of pris-
oners they have taken greatly exceeds
those taken by the Germans. Both
sides agree that the losses have been
very heavy, and that the battle is still
indecisive as it probably will be for
several days.

says that the fighting has lost some

progress for the Russian troops north

cial authority of Petrograd, in a re-
view of the fighting from November

"On the Russo-Prussian frontier the
Germans have maintained their forti-
fed positions and have been making
attacks of little Importance. These
operations were without success and
our army corps have kept their dis
positions.

ION the Thorn Cracow front the
German guard which attempted the
