DEBATE ON ARMY AND NAVY.

The question, Resolved that the Ar
my and Navy Of the u. s. Should be I'm
mediately increased for Purposes Of De
Tense" received vigorous attention at the
Congregational Church last Thursday
evening. The debate was informal in
nature with the audience acting as judges.
Altho for the most part the arguments
were of serious tone, yet there were hints
of humor. DR.. Stricken presided at the
meeting. The arguments of the affir-
native may be summed up as follows:
That since this is an age of competition
and the large powers are all seeking new
markets, sooner or later a clash must
come. Also that a sense of patriot
ism and duty to ones country could best
be fostered by means of military training
besides it own value to the young men Of
the nation. The proponents of these
views were Rev. Wheeler and E. J. Bueh-
rer.
H. T. Peterson and DR.. G. F. Reineke
took the negative of the question and
argued that no immediate danger of
invasion confronts our country and that
no foreign would even dare attempt to
encroach upon American soil; that our
commercial and immigration policies do
not invite trouble and that the Monroe
Doctrine binds together and protects not
only one but all of the countries on the
American continent.
Following the debate proper various men
were called upon to register their impress
ions. Maj. Albert Pfaender spoke in ia
vor of the military organizations of the
country and Henry N. Somsen spoke even
more forcibly in condemnation of militar-
ism. He favored keeping the navy up
to point where our foreign relations
would continue pleasant and said that
| at present this is not possible as other
countries lack the respect they should
show us. He most decidedly condemned
all display of 1nilitarism before the youth
of the country as tending to foster the
spirit among them.

MASQUERADE AT TURNER HALL

For some years the old style masquer
ade has failed to materialize. This yea
an effort is to be made by the Turnvereir
and Ladies' Societies to fill a long felt de
sire on the part Of those who enjoy such
frolics. A joint committee of the two so
cieties has been appointed and is now
making preparations for masque bal
Shrove Tuesday, February 18th, which
will surpass anything attempted in re.
cent years. The outlook for large mum.
Der of groups is the very best as several
have already been promised. The COM
mittee believes that group Mosques will
do more than any other factor to make the
the occasion an enjoyable one for merry
makers and spectators alike and for that
reason are encouraging the masquers to
form groups or join those already plan
ned.
Worthwhile prizes have been offered
by the committee and there is chance to
take home one of them by everyone who
is willing to put little thought into the
planning of his or her costume. There
will be nothing to speak of going on in a
social way after Shrove Tuesday and all
should take advantage of the opportunity
to enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent upon this occasion. If you have not
yet decided to mask, do so at once and en-
ter heartily into the spirit of the thing and
plan such costume as will effectually
disguise you from your friends.

AS might be expected, a walrus is

much hitching and foundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from
behind by the breakers as they roll in
and dash against him.
His hind fippers are of little use on
land, and on sand or pebbles. where
his front tlippers do not hold well. the
labor of foundering forward is so great
that he never .stirs beyond the edge of

A Ship. Speed.

A ships speed is reckoned by knots,
knot being geographical mile or
one-sixtieth Of degree. Six geograph-
zeal miles are about equal to seven
statute miles, and ship that sails
twelve knots therefore is really moving
at the rate of fourteen statute miles an
hour. 1t should be remembered that it
is incorrect to say so many 'knots an
hour" simply so many knots. for a
knot means lone mile an hour"

BLIND STAGGERS.
Many Horses, Cows and Other Stock
 Dying Throughout This Section.

There is seldom day passes that somn one residing in or near Spring dale reports the death of either a horse, COW or mule, and in most ev- cry case the cause of death is given as blind staggers. A very recent case was the loss of a valuable horse by the Arnold Transfer Company Saturday night; and many other cases hay been reported each week through our weekly spondents. Whether the disease is contagious, or just what is affecting the stock has never been discovered all the symptoms are of blind staggers, but old horse and cattle men in this sec ton say that such is not the disease. Many different cases Of cattle dying from being allowed to run on stalk pastures have been reported, coming from almost every section in north Arkansas, and the disease seems to be confined to no certain territory
 Just what is being done to stop the ravages of the disease among the stock is unknown, most all of the farmers being at a loss as to how the disease originates. Farmers who keep their stock in tip-top condition, whose barns are the best that can be built, and who take especial care of their dumb brutes, are affected in the same manner as the less fortu- nate land tiller who can only provide lean-to, or wind break for his stock. The disease does not seem to originate from an unsanitary source, and it does not seem to come from the stalk fields, as stock that has been used continuously through the winter, and have never been on the stalk fields are affected.
 It is high time that the farmers and other stock owners in this sec ton called get together meeting and something be done to stop the disease, as stock is getting to be premium in this section. One week alone. the correspondents of The News reported a total of b deaths among the COWS, horses and mules, and while various causes were as signed it is now thought that all were victims of the same disease.
 This must be stopped, or this sec tion will suffer heavy loss, for if it is allowed to continue as it has the past four months, the end of the year will see a dearth of stock, and the loss will be appalling

DEATH OF L. BEASlEY.
We'll Known Throughout this Section
 Passes Away at cassville, Mo.

The following article speaking of the death Of L. Beasley, is clipped from the Cassyille Democrat:
 The awful announcement went out over our city Wednesday afternoon lat l: :35 D. m., that Lafayette Beasley had passed away. It made sad hearts with every citizen of Cass- vile, who will deeply sympathize witt the grief stricken wife and daughter and other relatives.
 It was the writers good fortune to have known him long and well, and We only knew him to esteem him more highly as the years passed by. Today We miss his kindly smile and friendly greeting, but his memory will be long in the minds of all his friends
 As We stood by his grave Thursday afternoon, when the sky was trimmed with her gorgeous rosy hue. in fancy We could see him-not in death $ cold sArond of sorrow and despair, but smiling upon Us from the sunset halo that marks Gods farewell to the day-smiling with all the well re- membered grace of his manhood, love devotion and saying 10 us all: The sunset speaks but feebly of the
 giories of another day.
 All is well
 He WAS devoted husband and a kind and induigent father; tender brother, to his friends the soul of fellowship. But the greatest of al he was man, and as a man it is that those who knew him best, most love to contemplate him. He was a beiiveer in the religion of Jesus Christ and practioed it in his daily walk of lie. He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellow men, who let into the dark places of life the sun s line of human sympathy and human 1 happiness, is following in the foot steps of ais Master.
 His last words were expressive ot peaco with God and a willingness te depart and be at rest with Him. Hi; devotion to his wife and family ane kindness to everybody, will finger as fragran- memory in the home

which his presence frightened and which death has darkened His life Was gentle, but like the still waters it was deep. In his heart of hearts, he carried those he loved. and his hand was never too weary, his step never failed in caring for and min- istering to his loved ones or sick friend or neighbor.
