.PARACOULD TRUST GO.
 GETS COUNTY FUNDS
Local Bank and Farmers Bank of Marmaduke Each Bid 6 1-4 Per
 Cent on Daily Balances.

Judge J. L. Light doesn't claim to be an overly wise man "in his day and generation" It is not on record that he has even indulged in the mod est claim of harboring more grey matter in his classic and profusely adorned dome of thought than the ordinary man who has not waded through Blackstone and other eel ebrities in legal lore. But this after noon he had to assume a Solomon look and pull off a perfectly staged Solomon stunt in disposing of tie bid for the county funds for the next two years. The details, of course, varied slightly from the problem that the ancient wise man had put up to him by the two women who claimed ownership of the one baby. In that dilemma Solomon suggested a high class surgical operation as the proper solution of the matter, giving to each woman one-half the baby. omon had no limit upon his authori ty, while the judge of Greene county is hedged about with statutory re- strictions outside of which he dare not roam. In consequence, when the Paragould Trust Company and the Farmers Bank of Marmaduke each put in bid offering to pay the coun- ty six and one-quarter per cent inter- est on daily balances on county funds, the court could not pull off the Sol- omon deal and split the funds, but was forced to choose between the two. He decided the issue in favor of the Paragould Trust Company for the reason that this is the county site, the court and the treasurer have their offices here and the law says the funds must be paid out at the county site, as is shown by Sec tion of the depository act which reads as follows:
 Tt shall be the duty of each de- pository to provide for the prompt payment at the county sites of the counties, all checks drawn by the county treasurers upon such funds," etc.
 Only two bids were put in for the county funds.
 The Paragould Trust Company has been the successful bidder for the county funds ever since the law be- came operative in 1908. For the year 1914, it was awarded the funds for five and seven-eighths per cent, which yielded the county about $2,S00 in terest on the school and general funds. No other funds draw interest. The contract for the county funds is for period of two years. hence the Paragould Trust Company will besthe official depository of the county un- til the first Monday in January, 1917.

REUNITED BY MOVIES"
 AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS

New York, Jan. 4.-How two brothers, separated by nearly 2,000 miles and for almost fifteen years, were, through the production of a motion picture, brough together for a family reunion on Christmas in their old ancestral home in Mississip- si is told in a letter to George L. Sar- gent, motion picture producer and director.
 One of the brothers is Benjamin F. Rhodes, portrait painter of Dan vile, Pa. The medium through which the reunion was reached was "A Gentleman from Mississippi" the exterior scenes of which were laid on the old Rhodes family estate, Airing ton-on-t -the-Bayou, Natchez, Miss. The other brothers name is not giv- en, but he was living in Purcell, Ok.
 Neither brother had been to the old home in fifteen years and they were so touched when, at points far away from each other, they beheld on the screen the old homested and the familiar faces of the negroes they knew so we'll, that it made each man homesick for the other. So at the same time they wrote to Mississippi c11hcanl1nnflV V tourney there to meet again.

Jim Boone Gets More Game.

Jim Boone, who feels that every time the sun shines out in winter Old Mother Nature intends it as a special invitation to kill big game, corralled his dogs few days ago and hiked off to the L'Anguille bot toms near Waldenburg and proceed ed to SCOUT the timber for deer and turkey. Mr. Boone was accompan- jed by Henry Glovka, Jno. Honey and Jno. McNatt. This morning they returned, having bagged three big turkeys, one deer and a large num- Der of squirrels. MT. Boone says that he had virtually given up the idea of getting any venison, and so concluded yesterday morning to take his shotgun and try for any thing big enough to chamber load of shot. A party of hunters a mile or so from where Boone was stand ing jumped a deer and fired four Snots run Iilieo "ilhouI Sue'ooH' III a short time the game hove into sight about 65 steps from Jim, who emptied a load of BIB shot into it's shoulder. The animal, according to MT. Boone, "histed it's tail and took off," but dropped about 200 yards distant. One of the small shot had penetrated the heart.

CHILD LABOR LAW Is
 TO BE ENFORCED HERE
Prosecuting Attorney Advises Local Firms That Provisions Must Be
 Complied With.
(From Saturdays Daily Press)

You may state that the child la bor law which went into effect in this state on January 1, will be en- forced in Paragould and Greene county said Robt. E. Fuhr, deputy prosecuting attorney this morning. "Our office has no choice in the mat ter, and while a strict enforcement of the law will perhaps work hard ships in some instances, we cannot proceed otherwise than with the nec- essary prosecution when our atten- tion is called to violations of this law"
 Inquiry was made this morning by a reporter for The Press as to the in Paragould whose occupation would be affected by the new law, but en- ployers had not investigated the ages of their employees to such an extent that definite information could be obtained. At the Pekin Cooperage Company plant it is stat ed about twenty boys are employed making pins. Many of these boys are under eighteen years of age and the officials of the company thought they came under the provisions of the new law. However, reading of the sections of the law discloses the fact that unless the boys are under sixteen years of age they are not prevented from working around ma chinery.
 The Southwestern Telephone ex- change here has been employing lad thirteen years of age, the son of widow, to do chores for the ex- change from six thirty to seven thir- ty in the morning, and from four until six in the afternoon. The boy is paid ten dollars month for this service, and in addition usually earns about five dollars per month carrying messages. With this mon ey the boy is supporting himself in school and contributing small amount each month to his mother. Under the new law no child under fourteen years of age can be employ ed in any remunerative occupation except during school vacations. Man ager Campbell of the telephone ex- change conferred with MT. Fuhr about the employment of this boy and was advised he would have to discharge him, which the manager reluctantly did.
 The only other institution in Par agould that is positively known to be affected by the new law is The Daily Press. It employs four boys to de- liver papers each afternoon. Some of these are under fourteen years of age, and if the opinion of the prose- cutting attorney is the correct one The Press will be forced to dispense with their services and employ boys fourteen years of age or more.
 As to what effect, if any, the law will have upon the farmers who use their children in the crops only a trial will determine. The law says no child under the age of sixteen can be worked earlier than six o'clock in the morning or later than seven in the evening. Nor can any child under sixteen years of age be work ed more than eight hours day.
 No child under eighteen years of age can be worked before six in the morning or after ten in the evening, nor more than ten hours a day, nor more than fifty-four hours in any week.

CHURCH ANNIVERSARY.

The 18th anniversary of the dedica
ton of the first Methodist church build
ing, erected by the society in the village
of Bristol, was fittingly observed in
that town Wednesday. There was a
large attendance from this and sur
rounding towns. At noon dinner was
served in the church parlors to all in
vited guests.
The society was organized in 1913.
The first building was erected at cost
of $4,000. In 1883 the interior of the
church was remodeled at a cost of
Sl100. In 1892 the parsonage erected
about the same time as the church, was
remodeled In 1905, under the pastor
ate of Rev. G. c. Shafter, the church
was remodeled at an expense of $4,000.
About all that remains of the original
building is the frame. To offset this
debt $4,000 was raised by subscription
On March IA, 1913, the mortgage on the
church was burned.
This year further improvements have
been made, by putting in a basement
under the church building which pro-
vides for commodious kitchen, a din
ing room Is by 81 feet, paror for the
Willing Workers society, two Sunday
school rooms, toilets, etc. The interior
of the parsonage has been transformed
into modern home for the pastor. The
cost of these Improvements will total
$4,000. The society has membership
of 107.
The anniversary was observed by
morning, afternoon and evening SER
vices. The morning service included
the usual preliminaries and sermon by
Rev. j. B. Horton of Rutland. In the
afternoon Rev. E. r. Stone of Hoosick
Falls, N. Y, spoke on THE Supreme
Task" Mr.. Stone enjoys with Rev. L.
A. Bigelow, the honor of having served
this church five years as pastor. Miss
Amy Sumner read an interesting his
torical sketch of the church. In the
evening Rev. B. M. Kent, district su-
perintendent, preached sermon largely
attended.

crops, all bespoke thrift. In any COM
munity such farm is an object lesson,
the vividness of which cannot be sur
passed; seeing is believing.
About Up. m. all gathered around on
the lawn and listened to interesting
talks by w. N. Cady, State Master of
the Grange and President of the Addi-
son County Farmers Association, and
Mr.. William Elliott of Ontario who has
judged cattle at the State fair and
several county fairs in the State during
the fall. Mr.. Cady spoke on vermont,
the Rural State. He spoke on Vermont's
place among the other States and what
the farmer must do to make a bigger
and better agriculture. He emphasized
the fact that the farmers must back the
county agent movement and not let the
agent do the work alone. Mr.. Elliott,
with one of the cows, demonstrated the
points to be looked for in good dairy
animal. He also spoke in behalf of pure
bred stock, emphasizing the value of
continual use of the pure bread sire in
grade herd. Many questions were
asked him and much enthusiasm was
shown in regard to starting Community
Breeding clubs. Mr.. Varney, president
of the Farmers club, and j. E.
Carrigan, county agent, each made a
few remarks.
The beneficial results of such meet
ing cannot be measured as they are not
tangible, but from an educational and
recreational standpoint, a day thus
spent cannot be surpassed. 1t ought to
be an annual or even semi annual event
in every rural community.

MR.. BATTELL'S FORESIGHT.

The foresight of Mr.. Battell is once
more exhibited in the filling up of the
large block which bears his name. The
extensive addition is now nearly full,
the postoffice on the main floor, the
Knights of Pythias on the second, and
two college student organizations on
the third. There is not vacant room
on the third floor of the entire block
and only one on the second. Only the
rooms under the postoffice await a
tenant, and also the old postoffice. 1t
is understood that tie executors could
have rented the latter if they were not
so particular as to their class of
tenants. When Mr.. Battell projected
this block, wise ones said he would lose
his money. The same timid spirits were
positive that the addition was a great
mistake. But Mr. Battell went ahead,
spared no expense in putting up good
building, bought additional sites OPP
posite where eye-sores used to be, and
gave to Middlebury one of the largest
and best business blocks in the State.
He was actuated by desire to help the
town, but good deal of Yankee shrewd-
ness was combined with his patriotism.
Mr. Battell had his diosyncracies, but
time is proving that he never needed a
guardian in business deal.

THE NEW ERA.

A new spirit of courage is coming
over the country. There is more hope
in the air than at any time since William
j. Bryan blasted prosperity by his free
silver agitation in 1896. There is a
general desire to see business prosper,
even if some prosper greatly in the
general uplift. The United States has
not stood out so singly as the country
of opportunity, the land of the future,
since the early decades of the nation.
Business statesmen see dreams of this
country as the great creditor nation OF
the world, with the enterprises of
Europe financed by the thrift of our
people, instead of our relying upon loans
from abroad for the promotion of every
large American undertaking. In the
paralysis of European business, new in
dustries are being founded whose pro-
ducts will command world markets.
We are entering upon new CONNER
by the follies of Europe. We have been
foolish enough years past in the encour-
agement of business, but our rivals
have now surpassed US. We can not
prosper permanently on the basis of the
mistakes of others. We must match
our new opportunity with new intelli-
gence and new business and political
wisdom. Perhaps we have learned our
lesson. If the day of the demagogue
and the muckraker has passed and the
day of the banker and the organizer OF
large industry has come, the next
twenty years in the United States will
show a nation advancing in wealth and
culture and general happiness unex-
ampled in the history of the world.

FARMERS COMMUNITY PICNIC
IN BRISTOL.

Many farmers and their families met
at the farm of Varney Brothers, two
miles north of Bristol village Friday,
September oath, in what is known as
"a Farmers Community Picnic. "
People came from Bristol and the four
surrounding towns of Lincoln, Starks-
boro, Monkton and New Haven.
The meeting was held under the
direction of the Bristol Farmers club,
an organization formed early in the
season at the request of the county
agent. The attendance was assuredly
not as large as it would have been had
the weather not looked so threatening.
All arrived, bringing lunches and
after partaking of farmer feast, the
crowd proceeded on trip around the
farm. The buildings were visited; cows
(about so head of excellent Holsteins)
were looked over; corn and potato fields
were inspected. This tour of the farm
was very educational; buildings, stock,
