Geo. E. Roberts, we'll known for
mer Fort Dodger, now of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, fears
that Europe is going to pour so much
gold into the United States that the
people here will become very extrav-
agant, resulting in grave disasters
after the delirium has passed. The
Freeman-Tribune doesn't believe an
over-abundance of gold will be a SER
ious menace to the American people
and is willing to take a chance.

A Cerro Gordo county farmer by
the name of Macmillan poured kero-
sene oil on a smouldering fire in the
kitchen stove the other day and they
held his funeral two days later. The
only way to ward off premature fun
erals is to stop pouring kerosene oil
into stoves and furnaces. But there
are large number of people who
will not stop it until they are in con-
dition to furnish material for funer-
ais for their friends.

Some of the saloon men Of the
state are trying to make it appear
that because there are no open sa
looms in Des Moines the attendance
at the state fair this year was less
than last. However, it is quite evil
dent that the weather had more to
do with the falling off in attendance
than had the lack of thirst empori-
ums in the capital city. Farmers
throughout the state do not feel as
buoyant as they might. Their crops
are not up to the standard, on ac-
count of the weather, and they are
little more inclined toward econ
omy than they were last year.
This war proves that preparedness
is not a preventive of war.-W. ].
Bryan.
There are many people who do
not agree with Mr.. Bryan in this
matter. Had Russia, France and
Great Britain been as we'll prepared
for war as Germany was it is doubt
full if the war would have taken
place. The kaiser knew the power
of his fighting machine and he knew
the power of that of the allies and
had he not encountered unexpected
resistance from the Belgians he
would have been in Paris long ago
and his armies would have by this
time been victorious.

FORMER HENDRIX: MAN
WINNING DISTINCTION

DR.. E. w. Scott, son of DR.. S. A.
Scott of Little Rock, who has been
superintendent of the United States
Marine Hospital at Wilmington, N.
c., has been appointed superintend-
ent of the United States Hospital at
Stapleton, N. Y, the largest govern
ment hospital in the United States.
Young DR.. Scott is a native of Ar
kansas, was a student of Hendrix
College, a graduate in medicine at the
University of Virginia, and took ad-
vanced work in Europe. He was once
stationed at Ellis Island, and after the
sinking of the Titanic was sent on the
government revenue cutter Miami to
search for safer route. This is a
very remarkable career for a man of
his age, and his Arkansas friends are
proud of his success.-Western Meth

SCHOOL DIRECTOR
TICKET UNDECIDED

Although the ticket is expected to
be closed tonight or. early tomorrow
morning, in ordsr'that the ballots may
be printed for Saturdays school cleo
ton in Conway, no names had been
definitely announced as candidates
this afternoon. In addition to those
named yesterday, several others have
been mentioned for the positions, but
the consent of no one to allow his
name to go on the ticket has as yet
been secured 1t is realized that the
position of director for the next three
years Is one that will require a great
deal of time and attention and most
of those approached have positively
declined to accept an election to the
position. 1t is probable, however, that
some agreement will be reached among
those interested in the matter before
tomorrow morning and it is now quite
possible that the names of only two
candidates will appear on the ticket.
While nothing has been said about
the matter, it is considered certain
that the seven-mill tax will be voted,
as it has carried almost unanimously
at every election since amendment No.
8 was adopted. Little or no interest
is being shown in the question of
ncouty superintendency, but judging
from past results it will probably be
defeated in the county.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


Not much news this week; We are
saving up for next week.
Examinations will be the order of
the day next week. Parents will con-
fer favor on their children by seeing
they take all their examinations at
the appointed time
For the first time, probably, the
Latin class has finished it's work in
the required time. The class in Latin
III has gained on the previous record
by reading almost a book more than
its predecessors, and the class in
Latin III has completed it's stint.
Practically all the rooms are closing
out their work on time and in good
order. On the whole, conditions are
better then they were a year ago.
We extend an urgent invitation to
our friends to patronize our enter
tainment tomorrow night. Be here
at 8 O'Clock; to come later will annoy
somebody who wants to enjoy the pro-
program.
A splendid line of reference works
in history have been ordered for the
senior high school classes. The books
are gift from the School and Civic
League.
Fred Field and Sam Cox have
wheeled cinders the past week and
surfaced the ground around the new
wings. They did well and we thank
them.
Patrons and friends are cordially
invited to attend the closing exercises
of the high school department, on
Sunday at II o'clock. Rev. O. M.
Rodgers of Central Baptist church,
Magnolia, will preach the annual ser
mon at the Baptist church. Then on
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock the
closing program will be rendered. An
address by Prof. Cubage, two numbers
by members of the graduating class,
and the delivery of the diplomas, med
ais and other honors, will be the fea-
lures of the occasion. Come.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
Batesville, May 13.-Hendrix Col
lege won the opening game of the
series from Arkansas College here to-
day, 6 to l., the contest being decided
in the remarkably short time of one
hour and 20 minutes. Flynn Owen
operated on the mound for the Bull
dogs, and despite a sprained wrist he
sustained in Mondays game with the
State Normal, cut the Lambs down
with six hits. Chessman pitched for
the locals, allowing seven safeties.
Seven errors were chalked up
against Arkansas, which figured in
the Bulldogs runs. Sinclair at short
starred for Hendrix, stopping several
incipient scores for Arkansas. Legg
of Hendrix and E. Jones of Arkansas
starred at the bat, each getting three
hits.
The final game will be played this
afternoon. Both teams will leave to-
night for Conway for games Friday
