The Carlisle boys returned hone last night from a three game series which they dropped to Cotton Plant this week.
 With the exception of Tuesday game the Carlisle team was con. siderably weakened on account of several of the regulars being unable 10 play. Carlisle would have easily won Tuesdays game but for the bad decisions of the umpire in favor of Gotten Plant, otauber and Thompsot the bat. teries for Carlisle allowed only one hit and had good support only two small errors being cred lted to Carlisle, while Arthurs and Hartley for Cotton Plant al lowed ten hits and three errors are charged to Cotton Plant And with these odds Cotton Plant won 1 to 3.

IlI---Julius Kruttschnitt
On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commis- sioners.
 Managing railroad is quite differ ent from managing a government where the money is raised by taxa tion. When the expenditures. for good reasons or otherwise, increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub lie, cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have almost no control over their incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities.
 There is noe railway manager in the country today who is not fearful that under the press of increasing de mands the trans portation systems of the country will, in few years, break down. unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build 1t up. There are vast sections of the country especially in the West. where more railroads are needed and they cannot be built unless the rail- ways raise new capital
 People invest money in order to make money. and they are skeptical as to whether they can make money by investing in concerns that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Rail- road securities must be made more attractive to invite investments, and
 
 attractive. the roads must be allowed earnings that will clsfle her, to meet the increased capital charges"

have to say. MT. Kruttschnitt, exec utive head of the Southern Pacific, has written an article dealing with the financing of railroads. He said in part:
 The financing of a railroad is a function which the people, through their servants, the Railroad Commis- sioners and the Legislators, have never attempted, but it is most i'm portant problem, especially to sec tions of a State where new railroads are needed. The placing of securities has been left entirely with the pro moter and owner of railroads
 "The immediate determination of what earnings the railroad shall be permitted to receive and what bur- dens it shall have put on 1t is in the hands of other servants of the public

i, Prospects
 Never Brighter.

nttgart. June 3.-With all
 al spring for the farmers, am <proximately 100000 acres ot /ne best rice that Grand Prairie fhas ever seen, prospects appear bright for this section.
 A drive of 50 miles last week shows that little of the 100000 acre crop of rice remains to be sown. that the rice Is coming up n fine shape and that the leaves nothing to be desired.
 A very small per cent of the rice is watered yet. Pumping has just started on the majority Of the farms, but with the rains that have fallen the rice crop is at least two weeks in advance of any former year.
 In addition, the general farm ing Is being more thoroughly gone into, with bright prospect
 About 50 miles of drainage ditches have been cut through the flat lands of the county the past year, and this redeemed land has ceen planted largely to corn, which is showing a remark able growth.
 With cattle and hogs again being grown on every farm. and In many cases large herds of them. the prospects for the farmers of Arkansas county have never been better, and the prosperity of the will mean pros perity in all lines of business.

City of Clean Streets

On landing, and after passing the
usual custom house requirements, 1
walked out into the broad, park k-like
plaza, typical of all Latin cities. The
buildings fronting the principal streets
are three-story Structures of Italian
type. A fve-minute walk brings one
well into the shopping district where
many well kept stores are found not so
large as our more pretentlous depart
ment stores at home, except in price.
Prices are in nearly all cases about
fifty per cent. higher than in the
States. Farther on and over we'll paved
streets, rassing churches and cathedrals,
reached the Grand hotel. Its big,
open patio where you can always find
a cool, breezy corner, is most inviting,
especially at mi day under vertical
sun. l am greatly surprised to find
here a city of two hundred thousand
inhajbitapts with such clean and we'll
kept streets and substantial buildings
electric lighted, an up-to-date tram car
service. Automobiles whiz along as. if
bound for destruction. The jitney is
not yet in evidence.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the Kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid which
keeps accumulating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness, soreness and pain called rheuma-
tism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
tion, thus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleasant,
effervescent Whitewater drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

FARMERS WIVES GET ATTENTION

When Uncle SAM solicitous about the welfare of
the farmers wives of the land sent out inquiries
to members of this class of society for suggestions
as to how the lives of rural women may be made
more endurable, he evidently gave those worthy
women just such opportunity to tell of their
grievances as they have been patiently awaiting
these many years.
That the farmers wives have we'll established
ideas about needed improvements in rural life and
that they hesitate not in the least to express their
views for Uncle Sans benefit is evident from the
contents of such replies received by the Department
of Agriculture as have been given publicity. The
do not bewail their fate, but they do suggest
that it might be improved upon.
Less drudgery and more wholesome recreation
to be the principal needs of the farmers wives.
They say that sufficient hired help cannot be OBJ
tanned for farm work, despite statistics concerning
the urban unemployed. 1t seems also that help
within families is scarce because crops of stalwart
children are not>as bounteous as they might be- and
also because too many of the children get to be
college-bred and for that unsuited to do
agricultural and domestic work
Much labor accordingly devolves upon the farm
ers wives and as a rule they toll increasingly from
early morning to early evening. In reward they get
practically nothing except accumulated worriments.
They have few recreatiOns and what they do have
are not to be compared even to the least of urban
amusements
Farm life can never have all the comforts and the
benefits of city life. If it had these it would be the
ideal existence for it already has many advantages
which city life share. That some improve
ments might be made, however, in the routine of
rural living is certain. These improvements could
be brought about through the energies of the De-
partment of Agriculture if the work the department
has undertaken is carried to completion. The de-
partment might then turn its attention to over
worked city housewives and improve their domestic
conditions also.

Para on Amazon Tributary

The thriving city of Para is built on
stretch of low land on the bank of
the Para river which is one of the
broad estuaries of the great Amazon,
and seventy miles from its mouth and
some eighty miles south of the equator.
Its proximity to the equator and the
low lands of the delta give it an ever
ending hot climate. AS the steamer
approaches the city the many white
buildings rooted with red tile and gal
vanized iron, the numerous towers,
cupolas of churches and converts, with
clumps of tall waving I'm trees, their
tops high above the buildings and sharp,
ly defined against the sky, have an es,
pecially pleasing effect The Para, or
this branch of the Amazon, is thirty six
miles wide at its mouth; and opposite
the city of Para twenty miles across to
the continent-island of Mara Jao, there
is series of low, wooded islands strung
along for many miles which contracts
the river view in front of the city and
continues for many miles farther up
stream.

Business Suspended in Afternoon

On account of the tropical heat
business is generally suspended from
noon until 4 clock; and at this season
of the year you may be certain of a
shower of rain every afternoon, and
when it rains, it certainly rains; the
clouds seem to open and let down pour
that is little short of a deluge. So reg
ular are the daily showers that it is
a common expression in making busl
ness or other engagement, thus: "Win
meet you after the rain" Para has
several very pretty parks and one of
the most beautiful botanical gardens in
the world. The residential section of
the city, especially the suburbs of
Nazareth and Sac Jeronimo, may well
be called handsome. Many of the
houses set back hundredsfeet or more
from the street, andNare half buried in
the luxuriant tropical foliage. Blossom
ing orange trees are common, and the
slim Assia palm with its feathery top
has place in the charming picture.
Then, too, the back yard or may be the
little garden has its clumps of broad
leafed banana plants, and seemingly
every nook and corner has surplus of
flowers and vines.

reelected to this Office from time to
time.
In the years 1S91f94 when there
occurred division in the Evangelical
Association, he identified himself with
the side which adopted the name
United Evangelical Church, This
body also elected him to the office of
Bishop, in which he continued until
1907, when law of the church, limit
ing the term of office, prevented an
other reelection. He was then chosen
editor of the Evangelische Zeit-
schrift,' and continued as such until
October, 1914, when the General Con-
ference again placed him in the Office
of Bishop. The entire time in this Of.
flee covers a period of more than 81
years, ending with the time Of his
death.
A Well Versed Man
Bishop Dubs/was o man of great in
tellectual power and physical endur-
ance. His mind was feritable ency-
clopedia of information, and he was
well versed in American and German
literature, as we'll as all the topics of
the day. His much reading and abun-
dant travels in this country and Eu-
rope gave him familiarity with men
and affairs such as few persons have.
His memory of persons and details was
remarkable. As a preacher and lee
turer ON religious topics, he had few
equals. He was an editor of more than
usual ability. He always had a most
interesting way of imparting informa-
tion, whether in the pulpit, on the lee
ture platform, by his versatile pen or
as conversationalist. His stock of
knowledge seemed inexhaustable, and
he was always abreast with the times.
lie was master of assemblies. These
characteristics placed him in great de-
mand as speaker upon variety of
occasions. He had reputation far be-
yond the bounds of his own denomina-
tion. He was frequently called to
speak at great gatherings of the larger
denominations and on undenominational
occasions, such as college and Y. M. G.
"a. assemblies. His addresses were
characterized by deep spiritual tone;
consequently his hearers were often
moved into sympathy with the subject
presented and to definite action. His
sermons gave evidence of genuine
personal religious experience.

VIRGIL NOT GOOD FOR ALL INFANTS

Passages from Virgil used as lullabies would,
hardly have the effect on all babies as they
had on one who has now reached the age of twelve
years, knows eight languages and is an all around
child prodigy. This particular little grl-for pre-
cocious youngsters are no longer exclusively boys
has just been discovered by New York newspapers
and her accomplishments have been filling many
columns.
When the child prodigy was born the mother,
who had previously been busy exerting prenatal
influences" began operations on the education of
the little bundle She lulled the baby to slumber
with lines of Virgil, and thus acquainted it with
Latin as soon as with English. We are not told
whether the infant slept well on the Virgil pas
sages. No doubt it did, since it must have been a
precocious child from the start, to have acquired
eight languages and all sorts of other more or less
useful knowledge in no more than dozen years.
Not every infant would sleep well, however, on
Virgils poetry. All babies do not respond readily
to ennobling influences, only prodges. The Others
would be bored to say the least by the Latin clas-
sizes Just because infant was lulled to sleep on
Latin poetry and through additional training was
