1. AND R. PETITIONS MAY BE ATTACKED MINING BOARD MEASURE IS UNDER FIRE, ILLEGAL SIG- NATURES TO PETITION BE
 ING CHARGED.

Little Rock, May 15.-Additional signatures to the publicity bill were Thursday afternoon filed with Secre- tary of State Hodges, and representa- tives of the coal operators began copying the signatures on the state mining board bill This bill will no doubt be attacked in the courts, for 1t Is claimed that there are many sig natures which appear with names in the same handwriting, and nsthing to indicate the work was done by author lty of those whose names were signed. The operators expect to make a search for every signer, and if illegal signatures are found to attack the De- ution, and at the same time push criminal proceedings against those who circulated the petitions. There are a half-dozen stenographers at work on the mining board petition It is probable that the bankers of the state will take look at the bank guaranty bill, and endeavor to find enough signatures that should not be there, to prevent the initiation of the bill.

4 T VAN BUREN,.

Van Buren, May 15.-That Craw- ford county strawberries are in de- mand at many and various places over the country is shown by tele- graphic orders for shipments of ber- ries that have been received by local buyers during the past few days. Not on y are Crawford county berries be- ing eaten in New York, Chicago, bat today a broken car was shipped to Galveston, Texas. The Texas crop of berries has been harvested and owing to the earliness of the picking most of the berries were sent to the cas- tern markets where fancy prices pre- vailed. Texas strawberries were re- ceived here month ago, but the deal lis now reserved and the Texans are enjoying Crawford county berries.
 Three cars were loaded at this point Thursday and at other shipping points in the county nine cars were loaded, making a total of twelve cars from Crawford county.
 The excessive cold weather in the north and east has boosted the price of berries slightly and this morning berries that yesterday sold for S1.75 a crate were bringing $2 Fancy S2.25 According to local buyers and sales managers the picking will prac- tically be completed in this section in seven days, and the crop will be shorter than predicted.

STRAWBERRY
 PRICE LOWER ANOTHER CAR SHIPPED MORRILTON REPORTS TWENTY CARS OF BERRIES SHIPPED
 TO DATE.

The price of strawberries dropped sharply yesterday, and quite num- Der of crates were sold here at $l25. The Faulkner County Truck Growers Association, however, have not sold any berries at less than $1.75 per crate and expect to receive close to that figure for all the remaining ship ments. Another ear is being loaded and will be shipped tonight, but it had not been sold at o'clock this after noon.
 The berry picking season is nearing an end and will come to close early next week. A few of the farmers near Conway have already stopped picking, claiming that they cannot take any more time away from their regular crops.

SLIGHT DELAY IN
 CHURCH BUILDING

A delay of about two weeks in the construction work on the new Metho- dist church being erected in this city will be caused by the absence of a car of structural iron. The contract for the iron work was unavoidably post poned and the building has now reached point where no further work can be done until it is received. The brick work has been completed to the top of the basement floor, and when the iron is received it is not thought there will be any further de- lay.
 The contract for the stone was let this week to the Pfeifer Stone Co. of Batesville. Nearly $4,000 worth of stone and marble will be required for the building

Morrilton, May l5.-Twenty-o -one cars of strawberries have been sent from Morilton up to noon last night. Eight of these went out by express. The price started at S250, but has been gradually falling until now there is scarcely any profii in mar keting them, so it is not likely that many more cars will be shipped.

NOTES

NOTES
Most people think of a business
training only as means to secure
a position, losing sight of the
great educational advantages
which will be a great help to one
in all the walks of life. 1t is re-
freshing, therefore, to see how
one young lady who took a stem
ographic course looks at it, as
shown in letter to Mr.. Dough
erty. She says: Circumstances
make it necessary for me to re-
main at home an indefnate period,
Please do not think, however,
that the training / received in
your school will be wasted. My
brothers are making their train
ing pay in dollars and cents right
here on the farm, and | am sure
that | can do the same"
The signs in the alphabet of
Doughtery's Shorthand are so ar
ranged that those which come to-
gether most frequently in words,
are the signs which combine most
easily. AS an illustration of this,
take "ex", which is followed fire.
qubntly by the letter "p", as
in express, EXPIRE, etc. The
Dougherty signs for these two
sounds are such that they com
bine in one stroke for exp. In
other systems, this combination
requires three, and in some sys-
TENS four, different strokes.
If nothing but its educational
value, every young person should
learn Shorthand. Its study and
use cultivate concentration OF
attention, quicknees of thought,
keenness of perception, accuracy
of speech, acutenees of discrima.

and hearing.

He says that it has invariably been

it is invaluble tor note purposes,
Every boy and girl should have q

Certainly before entering college. I
Mr.. Dougherty, author of
Dougherty's Shorthand, has for ,
years spent time, money and
effort in bringing Shorthand with
in the reach of everybody, the
idea being the hobby with him
that if Shorthand were taken up
in the first year of school and
carried on gradually, as is done
with longhand, boys and girls
would have a working knowledge
of the art by the time they reach
high school, and would be better
scholars, not only because of the
mental training mentioned above,
but also because its use would
have kept more promently before
them the practical use of spelling,
punctuation, ETC., emphazing their
Importance.
Mr.. G. X. Naff, who is at the
herd of the legal department of
the United States Land Office at
Los Angelus, California, writes
Mr.. Dougherty very apprecia-
letter, in which he says:
Il have put your system of
Shorthand to a test of which |
deem of great Importance. After
two years service as stenographer
and private secretary to a Gov
erment Official, | was appointed
to certain position IN which |
did no stenographic work. Two
years later was appointed PRIV
ate secretary and confidential
clerk to a high Official, and upon
entering my duties | found that
the simplicity of your system of
Shorthand had enabled me to re-
tain ito such an extent that |
could write it with little diminu-
tion in speed and none in legibil-
ity."
In the last five years | have
written no Shorthand, but as a
matter of intel est ! have tried
again to write it, and ! can still
take dictation faster and read
my notes better than the steno-
grapher assigned to me by the
Government. ] haye never
done work that would train me to
be fast writer, but | still have
speed that would serve we'll for

I'm my opinion the test to
which ] have put your system
is greater than an attempt to
secure high speed; but may say
also that with the experiedces |
have successfully reported
speeches and have taken testimony
in certain hearings"
! II am really indebted to you
and your system for progress |
believe | could not have so well
made without the instruction |
received from you" adv

With a keenly sensitive mind,
highly strung nervous temperament,
the person of this birthdate must
rely upon the good influence of his
governing sign, Libra, to counteract
any bad results which will follow his
reczlessness and impatience.
Venus, the governing planet, will
lead astray in love affairs unless the
good Judgment impaired by the sign
Libra be recognized.
DO not criticize this nature. II is
self-reliant, understands its own
powers and allows no analysis Of its
motives.
Enter into the high plane into
which you were born. Close the door
Of the qualification of the senses
which seem to allure and throw all
the weight of your great soul and en-
ergy into the marvellous vibrations
of the solar fluids which surround
you and you will be amazed at your
progress.
Choose this day whom ye will
serve and let it not be Mammon, all
you who are Libra borni

tells, to those seeking positions in
