Van Slyke s in in the general office of Varney Bros. & Co. and Ferguson is a salesman in the Imperial Store. An old gentleman and his son stopped in Roe a week or ten days ago looking for work.

cAhIol car LETTER
Cosby Talk About Things in General at
 the State, Capitol
By A. w. PARKE

Little Rock. April A-One
 thing, if nothing else, was
 demonstrated by the testimony
 in the racing bill TIsndunus suit
 before Jndge Guy Fulk last
 week, that being. that the pri-
 mary election bill will hardly be
 a campaign. It was shown that
 the politicians are against such a measure, and with this class
 opposing it and the rank and file of the voters ready to listen to their dictates, no candidates will run counter to their crganiza- tions and expect to be a winner.
 The testimony in this case showed that Arkansas sheriffs had soIicitated the aid of Gov. Hays in the defeat of the bill, and that he had readily joined i n the pressure which W a s brought to bear on the legisla- ture. 1t was also brought out that B. J. Cunningham. a saloonist and political leader of Helena. was also one of those in Little Rock working against the bill. Other testimony along the same line was about to be given when interruptions from at- torneys who objected kept the people of Arkansas from getting some interesting information concerning election manipula- ton.
 The issues in the next cam-i paign will be state finances, and who can offer the best plan for putting the state upon a5paying 8 basis will be the biggest man in the race. Prohibition, supposed to have been settled in the last legislature. will be also a factor. There is a sentiment over the state which is growing at an. rate of speed, for anti Catholic legislation. In many sections this is already bitter, and it has caused the defeat of of more than one Democratic nominee in Democratic commu- mites. It must be reckoded with in a state wide campaign sooner or later. and it's time may come as a state issue in the next campaign.
 s A base ball crust that was six years in forming, was broken in Little Rock Wednesday after noon when the return of South ern League base ball of Arkan- sas was celebrated by thousands of bowling fans who paid $1 per head to witness the opening game of the season between the Travellers and the Nashville Volunteers. President Baugh of the League and Presidents Shropshire of Nashville and Allen of Little Rock were officials who witnessed the con-

CHILDREN'S CORN Err
FUN FOR A COLD DAY

Will Jack Frost! That's the way with
grown folks. ! guess
But since there is no hope of teach
ing the old fellow to write better, why
don't you teach yourself to read more
easily what he does write? Some sense
in that. maybe.
But how teach yoursclf?" you ask
Listen and I'll tell you
Get some pieces OF window Elass-any
size will do. Maybe your mother has the
glass from an old picture frame that she
VIII loan you for an hour. Or YOU may
find broken bit of mirror or window
glass. Somewhere, somehow, ! am sure
you can get some glass.
Now shine It up until II sparklcs bright
and clear and you are ready for your les
son.
Get mother or your big sister 10 light
the fire under the teakettle. When the
steam starts to come out OF the tcakcttie
spout hold your glass a little above the
spout. And keep II there till the under
side of the glass s all covered with little
beads OF steam. Then run and lay the
glass out of doors, steam side up.
IF there are several of you playing to-
gether take turns at the teakette And
as quick as one PERSONS glass is steamed
let them run outdoors with II while an
other takes his turn at the spout
After the glass has been out of doors
a few minutes you can begin to see queer
things on it. If the day Is very cold,
pictures will come in a few minutes. II
the weather is moderate, you will have
to wait longer. But sooner or later Jack
Frost will write you a message on your
glass. He will write 1t with the steam
you put there for him.
And when the message is written and
firmly frozen onto the glass. bring II in
the house and see II you can read it
that is the most fun OF all!
Maybe he has made a picture well,
what is 1t a picture Of? house, a
boat? Mountains? Trees? That is what
ycu are to study out.
or maybe he has written in queer
hleroglyphics. Take your pencil and con-
meet his marks together till they make
real writing. If you are quick and clever,
you can make a whole story before II
melts.
Try again and again till you have
learned to translate Jack Frost, isn't 1t
fun?
