 Vilonia, March 24.--A school rally to which everybody is invited, will be held at Vilonia on Saturday, April 4. An interesting program has been arranged for the occasion, and dinner will be served in picnic fashion. An old time spelling bee, basketball and baseball game, pillow contest, a shoe contest and foot-racing contests will be held. An address will be de- livered by Prof. A. J Meadors of the Normal, whose subject will be How to interest all our People in Educa- tion," and also one by Prof. J. l. Me Clurkin of Hendrix College on the subject Each Boy and Girl in the Vilonia District Shall be Worth $2O,0O0."
 The paramount purpose of the rally is to secure pledges from the citizens of the community for support of the High School of Vilonia Because of the lack of funds from taxation, it is necessary for popular subscriptions to be taken in order to maintain the school. Heretofore the subscriptions have been readily secured, and it is thought no difficulty will be expert enced on April 4.

SECURE SLEEP IN DAY TIME
Case of Some Plants, According to Botanists.

Clover shuts its leaves before rain and at night, bringing two of its three leaves face to face and folding the third over the top, according to the Scotsman The young blossoms are also carefully sheltered by inclosing leaves, which move forward in the evening and warp them around.
 There are two plants in the garden whose flowers sleep by day-the night blooming stock and Lychnis vesper- tina The former is withered and shriv- eled in daylight, but expands and ex- hales a vanilla-like odor at night. The Lychnis Is white, and in bright sum- shine every flower closes and hangs Imply down. As the sun sets, the En- dymoin plant awakes expectant of the moon. The dropping calyxes raise themselves and slowly expand their flowers; it visibly ceases to droop and fade, and the plant which almost died by day is adorned anew. Its sister, the red Lychnis, shines by day, and is called the diumna, but this white one has long left the beaten ancestral path and has become vespertina.
 As it opens small flies appear and visit 1t; the calyx is of that reddish hue which they approve. The surface which attracts flies shows the same dull red in its leaves. It is not rarity. but few have seen it's blossoms opened.

|OKLAHOMANS SEE l ARKANSAS CAPITOL
NEW STRUCTURE PRAISED
COMMISSION FROM NEIGHBOR STATE INSPECTS ARKAN
 SAS CAPITOL.

Little Rock, March 24.-That they might secure inspiration as well as information that will be useful te them in the construction of their cap. ltol building, the Oklahoma State Capitol Commission spent Monday afternoon inspecting the Arkansas state capitol.
 Those in the party were w. B. An thony, chairman, former member of the Oklahoma house; P. J. Goulding former member of the state senate and Stephen A. Douglass, the Repub- llcan member, constituting the com mission; E. w. Gist, the secretary, and s. A. Layton and S. w. Smith. the architects.
 Oklahoma has made an appropria- tion of $1 ,500,000 for the state capitol at Oklahoma City, and the commis- sIoners have been instructed to visit and inspect number of the modern state capitols to secure ideas that may be used in their plans. The Ar kansas capitol was the first visited, and 1t was inspected thoroughly, un- der the direction of former Governor Donaghey, one of the Arkansas capi- tol commissioners, and Secretary Rem ton Tunnah. The visitors expressed themselves as most favorably im- pressed with the building.
 We think you have most beauti- ful building said Chairman Antho- ny, "and when the work now in pro- gress is completed, it will be as at tractive as one could wish, and large enough to be thoroughly adequate for the needs of a state like Arkansas, or even a larger state, for that matter
 We had heard that you had had considerable scandal in connection with it's erection" he continued, laughingly, land we wanted to find out what was the cause of that, so that we might avoid anything of that character in our work. As a matter of fact, ignorant criticism is often more harmful than the kind that is honest and with foundation of fact, for it inf1ames the minds of those who are chronic fault finders. Honest criticism is, or should be, always vel come, and we want to get through without any of the dishonest kind if we can do so. We do not anticipate any of the trouble which frequently follows the erection of great public buildings like this, but we desire to be well fortified for whatever comes up. The people of Oklahoma want a $1 100000 capitol for $1 800, ,000, and that is what we propose to give them in the light of the best information we are able to get on this tour of in spection."
 From Little Rock the commission will go to Jackson, Miss, thence to Frankfort, Ky, after which they will visit Washington. They will inspect the capitols at Madison, Wis, and St. Paul, Minn., before their return home.

M. Aristide Briand whose admira- ton for Mir Lloyd-George has just been confessed in the London Chroni- cle, taught himself readiness of speech on the Congers' Hall system. His plan was to haunt the Paris cafes and for an hour or two engage anyone who cared in political discussion. He strove with the enemy for the sake of the argument. putting forward difficulties which he did not always himself ac- knowledge in order that he might hear what could be said on the other side. The result of his system was to make him one of the most formidable men in the chamber.

error in the case Of Leo NJ. Frank. who

prevented him from receiving the pro-
lection Of due process OF law. Not only
was Frank himself absent. in jail. on
the suggestion Of the presiding judge
that his presence might subject him to
rough treatment II the verdict should
be in his favor. but the two lawyers
then Of his counsel were also absent and
for the same reason. They had been
, told by the presiding judge. says the
brief, that they as well as the prisoner
would be in danger OF violence II they
should be in the courtroom when .
verdict Of mot guilty" was rendered.
Franks tight for liberty has been re-
markable. He was convicted largely on
the evidence Of negro janitor.

Clinton. Dec. 5.-Here IS hot shot
for the Greater Iowa Association.
one Of the big Sunday papers down
in San Antinio, Tex. has discovered
that the Greater Iowa Association has
prevented two families from moving
from Iowa 10 Texas. And naturally the
Texas paper IS sore. Here Is part OF
its story:
That Texas is getting some bad
publicity from commercial orsaniyA-
lions in other states that are seeing
their citizens emigrate 10 this country
has been brought TO the attention OF
The Texas State Realty Association.
The presidents office in san Antonio
Is in receipt OF newspaper clippings
from, papers principally in Iowa in
which il is charged the people are be-
ing drawn 10 Texas bt rich promises
Of INSCRIPTIONS real estate agents, and
that once they are here hey are being
practically robbed OF their money and
are not able to get back hoIse again.
The Greater Iowa Association is
quoted as authority for ;hese state
nents. which are being published
broadcast.
The Texas safe Realty Association
was organized I'VE years ago in this
ci;y for The specific purpose Of putting
tan on real estate frauds. Since
his organization there has been
marked decrease il the complaints re-
yarding unfair dealings n land and
general real estate. The state associa-
ton intends to GO further Into the mat
ter OF misrepresenting Texas"
And the secretary Of the Greater
Iowa Association thinks thai The Texas
State Realty Association car busy It
self very adyantageously in just this
direction. He says:
When IowaHs understand that the
greatest Increase in farm values in any
state in the union has oeen right here
III Iowa, and that our increase during
the last ten years is equal TO the total
value of farm acres in all but FIVE
states OF the union (and Texas IS not
one$of those fve) they VIII stay at

in values $3.50 in the last ten years.
The farms in every state IN the union
except Illinois. Indiana, Ohio. New Jer-
sey and California are not worth s51.a

thing for Iowa farmers to think about
