RIVER DREDGE BOATS
 WILL BE READY JUNE 1
TWO HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY CONGRESS- FOR ARKANSAS RIVER TO PROVIDE OPEN
 CHANNEL.
Use of Boats Will Mean Much to Cit. ies of State Which Are Located
 on This Stream.

Little Rock, March 1.-The two dredge boats provided by Congress for the dredging of the Arkansas riv- CT in order to make it navigable for larger boats the year round, will be ready for service June 1, according to Congressman H. M. Jacoway in a let ter to c. c. Kirkpatrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. The let ter states he has been informed by the chief of engineers that the boats will be completed by then.
 "The completion of these dredges means much to Little Rock and Ar kansas" said Secretary Kirkpatrick "As soon as these have dredged the channel of the Arkansas River it will be possible to run large boats to Lit tie Rock for perhaps the year around. A packet line can be maintained and this will cause Little Rock to have a river freight line and will reduce ma terially the present freight rates here charged by the railroads"
 Secretary Kirkpatrick has been working on the matter of dredging the Arkansas River for some time. He has urged the citizens to organize a packet boat line to some point on the Arkansas River and maintain it for the year round. Even were this to be operated at loss it would cause the railroads to reduce their freight rates and the merchants would gain in the long run. The idea advanced
 by Secretary Kirkpatrick was for the merchants to agree to swing certain percentage of their freight to the packet line. This would assure SUD- port to the boat line and the merch- ants would gain by the reduced freight rates on their other ship
 ments. The rate by river would be | far below that by rail.

Dangers in Fare Beefsteak.

You may like youy beefsteak rare, but there is danger in eating any meat not we'll cooked. Measles in COWS leave boxed-up parisites in the bovine, flesh. You do not notice them with the naked eye, but they are there, and if they are not killed by thorough cook ing they will cause tapeworms in the digestive organization of the human system, and then follow associated dis. eases and discomforts.

The case of "Rube" Waddel1, the once mighty southpaw, is sad com mentary of the way of the man who passes up everything in life for the safe of over-indulgence. WaddelI once drew thousands in salary; he did not save a sou. Once he had a powerful physique; now he is battling perhaps hopelessly, against tubercu- losis. In his heydey he won many games for Connie Mack and the latter is now aiding him.

To very few people does the name of Bernard Courtois signify anything, yet it is to Bernard Courtois that the world owes the discovery of iodine. A chemist of Dijon, he presented one hundred years ago the notice of his discovery to the academy.

lndependence and seIfishness.

There never has been, is not now, and never will be an occasion where truth to ones self will not be fair to all of ones associates. The happy right for every many and woman, if consistently pursued. will only hasten the bright destiny of every one around them, but the courage to do what you wish without the wisdom to know what is the best is a dangerous power end in 1t lies all selfishness.

Value of coeose as Butter.

Cocose Is the name of a French prod uct manufactured from copra, probab- ly with the addition of small quantities of other substances, which is gaining great popularity among Mohammedans and Hindus for use as butter. It's peculiar recommendation, as compared with other butter substitutes. is that 1t contains no trace or hog fat or beef tallow, and hence does no violence to religious ideas.

shepherding Healthy Occupation.

Shepherds enjoy extraordinarily good health. It is not simply mat ter of the open air, the farmers do clean. Doctors have suggested that the reason lies in the fact that the strong odor of the sheep has an anti septic influence and kills off stray germs. The odor is supposed to be particularly good for whooping cough. and in a sheep rearing district moth CTS often send ailing children to play among the sheep when whooping cough is about.
