ICE HARVEST COMPLETE
Government Has Just Finished Stor-
ing $50 Tons Of Best Ice Ever
Cults Taken From
Forehay.

A motor boat, fitting about in the
icy waters of the river, leaving its
moorings near one Of the dredges,
dropping down the river and then
coming back again, aroused the curl
osity OF people along shore who oh
served its movements. Motor boats
in an ice choked river are somewhat
OF d novelty, and in these days OF
movie plots and war spies the event
naturally created considerable specu-
lation.
The motor boat was being used by
Engineer Chapman, junior engineer
from the government Office at Rock
Island, to make gaugings of the flow
Of the river, below the bridge SO as
to get the winter flow Of the Missis-
sippi. Mr.. Chapman finished the work
yesterday and went back to Rock Is
land. $780,,
Four successful gaugings we're
made by the engineer, two with float

The government has Just completed

fifty tons of ice of good thickness and
the best quality ever secured has
been put in the storehouse The ice
was twelve to thirteen inches thick
and was all cut from the forebay.
According to Major NJ. Meigs. In
charge Of the local station, the ice
was OF the best quality to he secured
here. This is the earliest the ice has
ever been cut and stored, It is be-
lieyec by the local officials. The ice
has been stored in the new ice house

The Lovely Groom.

Here is the way the papers will
write up weddings some ten years
hence: THE bride looked very we'll
in a travelling dress, but all eyes
were centered upon the groom. He
wore dark suit that fitted his form
perfectly and in his dainty gloved
hands he carried a small rose. His
curly hair was beautifully done, and
a delicate odor of hair oil floated
down the aisles as he passed. The
young people will miss him now that
he is married. He is loved by all for
his many accomplishments, his ten
der grace and his winning ways. The
bride commands good salary as a
bookkeeper and the groom will miss
none of the luxuries to which he has
been accustomed A crowd of pretty
men saw him off at the depot. -

LONG HORSEBACK TRIPS
BY BLIND BROTHERS.
One Rides 33 Miles With Only His
Dog for Guide-All Travel
Alone.

Marshall, Ark, Feb. 23.-Riding
on horseback thirty-six miles from
Boyle, Stone county, to Marshall, by
way of Big Flat, James Albert Rorie,
who has been blind since he was )
years old, arrived at Frank Rain
bolts, near Marshall, a few days ago.
He came all the way with no no
one to guide him except his faithful
dog. He chained his dog to the bit
of his horses bride. The dog started
out in the direction that Mr.. Rorie
pointed When the dog came to the
forks of a road he would trot back
and forth until Mr. Rorie motioned
either to the left or to the right, and
then they would proceed on their
Journey.
There are three brothers in this
family who are blind, the other two
being Henry and John. They go to
any place they wish with no person
to accompany them. Last year Jas.
Albert travelled over Boone, Marion
and Searcy counties. For number
of years they have operated broom
factory near Mcpherson, Baxter
county.

STRAWBERRY CULT
URE; HOW TO PLANT
SINGLE HEDGE AND MATTED
ROW SYSTEMS BOTH USED
WITH PROFIT IN ARKANSAS -
GIVE BED GOOD POSITION.

Strawberries may be set either IN
the spring or in the fall, though spring
setting is more desirable, as this gives
an opportunity for the ground to pc
cleared and broken in the fall. Thor
ough preparation of the new straWber-
ry bed is extremely important. 1t pays
to give the new bed the most desirable
conditions possible.
At planting time it protects the
plants from the sun and drying wind.
A damp burlap cloth has been found
practical by some culturists, while
others prefer to place them in a pail
with a cover or a basket lined with
cloth.
In the single hedge row system, rum
ners are permitted to grow in rows
sufficient to, fill the space between the
original plants. This forms con-
tinuous row. BY this method the rows
should be three feet apart, and the
plants set 20 inches apart in the row.
In the matted row-the one most
used by commercial growers, the rows
are placed three and one-half to four
feet apart, and plants 20 to "a inches
apart in the row. These are allowed
to spread during the summer. making
a row about Is inches wide.
The essential features in setting the
strawberry plants are: rapid planting
without the plant being dangerously
exposed to sun or wind, and to see that
the crown Is not covered with soil or
extends above the surface. Also to
have the soil pressed firmly on the
roots, with the riot system being
spread out in fan-shaped fashion or
as nearly so as possible.
These results may be best accom-
plished by man making a V-shaped
opening in the soil with spade, dib-
BILE or grub hoe, and a second man
placing the plants. The "firming' OF
the soil is done by the heal of the
man using the spade, while the plant
is being held in proper position by
tho man placing 1t.
In preparing the plants for setting
see that from third to one-half of the
roots system is cut-off.
All of the dead foliage, and practi
cally all of the leaves should be re
moved from the crown of the plant VI

WILSON APPOINTS
TRADE COMMISSION
Absence of Party Members on List
Sent to Senate DiSgruntleS
G. o. p. Leaders.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 20
Democratic leaders of the senate will
try to bring about the confirmation
of the five members Of the federal
trade commission, appointed yester-
day by President Wilson, before con-
gress adjourns next week.
The nominations were received by
the senate yesterday afternoon and
will be considered at specially call
ed meeting of the committee on inter-
state commerce today. Senator New
lands of Nevada, author of the trade
commission act, is chairman of this
committee.
Those named for the commission
are:
Joseph E. Davies, Waterfowl, Wis,
now commissioner of corporations,
democrat.
Edward n. Hurley, Chicago, pres
ident of Illinois Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, democrat.
William j. Harris, Georgia, present
director of census, democrat.
William H. Parry, Seattle, editor
Seattle Post-Intelligencer and treas
urer Seattle chamber of commerce,
progressive.
= George Rublee, Cornish, N. H.,
lawyer and counsel of trust legisla-
ton committee, United States cham
Der of commerce, progressive repub-
lican.
With the announcement of the ap-
pointments, republicans in the SEN
ate voiced their displeasure at the
failure of the president to name a
steadfast follower of the 6. o. p. for
the bipartisan board. Senator Will
liam Alden Smith of Michigan indi-
Gated the temper of the standpat ele-
men when he asserted that a vigor-
Gus fight would be made ii he could
gain any support to force the ap-
point of a republican who remained
regular in the 1912 campaign. Both
Parry and Rublee supported Roose-
welt against Taft.
There also were murmurings
against Hurley, while one or two re-
dictionaries were heard to speak dis
approvingly of Mr.. Davies, who is
said to be the presidents choice for
chairman of the commission.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
By George Fitch


Yesterday was the birthday of
George Washington, who tried to die
Ills years ago, but only succeeded
in removing himself from Mount
Vernon to the hearts of the American
people.
Much stress has been laid upon
Washington's greatness and genius
during his public career. Yet moth
ing which he did redounded to his
glory so much as his partial death.
By this one act Washington made
himself perpetual national hero.
No one accuses him of having died
purposely or even Willingly for his
own glory. Yet the most crushing
blow which Washington ever dealt to
his critics was by his dying and
compelling them to shut their Shiny
mouths forever.
No man has ever succeeded in be-
coming great during his life. A man.
may be patriot, statesman and a
warm-hearted brave fighter for 9TH
ers. He may save his country from
destruction and make it prosperous
during his life, be plenty of eloquent
critics to rise accusingly and call at
To ho 70 hat bn fol foo
much, he is vain and proud, he is
insincere, he is serving his own inter-
ests, he is big bluff, he loves the
spotlight, he consorts with thieves
and crooks, on the 'steenth of De-
cember eleven years ago he drank
two cocktails and that he is, when
all his shortcomings are added up, a
curse to civilization.
During Washington administra-
ton thousands of Americans sat up
nights thinking out new adjectives
with which to describe his infamy.
He was the worst abused man in Am
erica. He was denounced as scath-
ingly as was Abraham Lincoln by the
men who leaned up against his rep
utation later, and said with trembling
voices, eve stand on the policies of
THAT great martyr" Cursing Wash
ington was a great fad in the last
ten years of the eighteenth century,
and would have continued far into
the nineteenth century if he had not
given his critics a mortal blow by
departing at the comparatively early
age of 81.
From the moment of his death
Washington received the united sup
port of all his countrymen, and
achieved the glory to which he was
richly entitled This should teach us
two things first, that national graf
itude is payable like life insurance,
generally after death second, that
we should not enter too yehemently
into the pastime of throwing garbage
at great man who may die at any
time and make us blush until our
ears sizzle whenever we review his
valiant deeds for his country.

The home of w. e. Talley, former

TALLEY HOMES IN ROGERS

Bentonville, Feb. 23.-More than
$4,000 has been realized by the
county by the sale of property be-
longing to the bondsmen of the Bank
of Rogers which failed last August
and which the county lost more than
$4,000 public funds. Most of the
property was disposed OF at sheriff S

cants have sung that pleading pray
er, pass me not, 0 gentle Savior, :"
or, in times of bereavement, have
been comforted with the tender
words, Safe in the arms of Jesus. !"
But comparatively few of the singers
knew that the words were written
by blind woman, sitting beside the
path of life, cheerfully doingher part
in lifting and tightening the burden
of the worlds sorrows.
She never saw the dawn after she
was six months old, losing her sight
permanently at that time. After fin
ishing her own school course she be-
came teacher in the New York in
stitute for the blind, and there she
met and loved and married Alexan-
der Van Alstyne, a blind teacher of
music.
Here is a picture surprising in
pathos any love scene ever depicted
in art.
Two blind birds building a love
nest by faith and not by sight.
Here was an offset to the loveless
marriages, the mercenary contracts
that keep the mills of the divorce
courts grinding today. 1t was lit
orally 1.-The blind leading the blind"
but they never fell into the ditch of
discord or the slough of despond.
Thus setting an example to many of
those who, seeing with both eyes, yet
miss the way of happiness.
SIn the Moody and Sankey revivals
Fanny Crosby's hymns were a strik-
ing feature. She did her part in the
saving of souls as nobly as did the
eXhorter and the singer. 1t is good
to think of her, after nearly a cen
fury of clean living, as "safe in the
arms of Jesus" her long-blind eyes
opened to the glories of paradise.

FANNY CROSBY.
Commercial Appeal

Blind, but with a sublime faith
that looked over the rim of life and
saw the immortal light that shines

touched the circle of more lives than
almost any other writer.
She was born in New York state
in 1920, and so last week when she
answered the call of the reaper of
souls she was 95 years old.
Neither novel nor problem plays
engaged her pen. She wrote the

TUBERCULOSIS IN FOWLS
This Disease Is Frequently the Cause
of Death Among Chickens.

While investigating the outbreaks
of tuberculosis in cattle and hogs,
many states have found that the same
disease is prevalent among fowls, par
ticularly turkeys and chickens,
though a great many other birds are
susceptible to the disease. Tuberculo-
sis in fowls is transmitted from one
bird to another, and naturally starts
from a diseased bird being placed in
a healthy flock.
If the focks do not keep in good
flesh on the proper amount of food,

this is quite frequently a good sign
of tuberculosis. Again, if there is an
occasional death in the flock without
any apparent cause, the bird should
be examined carefully for the follow
ing symptoms
The liver is most commonly affect
ed and it is here that it would be
most noticeable to people experienced
with the disease. There are also
white or grayish colored nodules of
various sizes protruding avove the
outer surface of the liver. When the
nodules are opened they present a
cheesy formation and are sometimes
gritty The spleen and intestines are
attacked, and an examination will
show nodules similar to those describ-
ed in the liver
The extent to which wild birds,
such as sparows, pigeons, crows and
others may spread tbs disease is not
definitely known, though it is quite
probable that such is the case, as
these birds are susceptible to the dis
ease.
Owners of the birds should be
careful to keep their focks free
from the disease, as it is almost
impossible to rid flock of tubercu
losis once it has been infected. Dis
eased fowls should be separated from
the remainder of the flock, and all
dead birds should be burned at oLce.
