STATE PRIDE IS
RALLY|NC PEOPLE
ARKANSAS FAIR EXHIBIT
EFFORTS BEING
MADE TO KEEP BUILDING
OPEN AT FRISCO.

Little Rock, Sept. 13.-The people of
Arkansas, when an appeal is made
to their state pride, are not slow in
responding to the call. 1t has been
the patriotism Of the people that has
enabled Arkansas to make such an
excellent showing at the Panama
Pacific exposition.
The commission is endeavoring by
means of a popular one dollar sub
scriptior to raise funds to keep the
building open and renew the exhibits
in the horticultural palace, that more
and eevn more notable prizes may be
taken.
This week Col. F. B. T. Hollenberg,
the commissioner-general, is sending
a letter to 5000 Of the most repre-
sentative citizens of the state, enclos-
ing one of the souvenir medals, and
asking a contribution of one dollar
each toward the exposition fund. 1t
is meeting with a ready response, and
should it continue the commission will
be able to continue without intermis
sion the good work that has been done
so far.
In sending a dollar to the fund,
Hon. Ernest Neil Of Batesville, writes
Col. Hollenberg as follows: Enclosed
herewith check for one dollar. Hope
you can keep things going at Frisco"
"That," declared Col. Hollenberg,
enthusiastically, "is the spirit that
will keep the state at the front. We
have already taken most enviable
position at the exposition, and we can
not afford to surrender. We are 60
ing to keep things going, with the as
sistance of such progressive citizens
as Mr.. Neill, and others who are re-
spending to this CALL"
Among those from whom dollar
contributions were received the first
day of the campaign are the follow
ing: Ernest Neill, M. w. Walbert and
Samuel M. Casey, Batesville; J. Bern
hardt, Dumas; j. s. Ross, Arkansas
City; J. N. Adams, Altus; A. D.
Dulaney, Ashdown.

CLAIMS INNOCENCE,
!. BUT PLEADS GUILTY
AGED man GETS 6 YEARS
w. T. SMITH, 62 YEARS OLD, RE-
CEIVES SHORT SENTENCE
FOR BANK ROBBERY.

Arkadelphia, Sept. 1O.-A large
crowd of people from ali parts of
Clark county yesterday heard the SEN
tence of six years Imprisonment pro-
nounced upon w. T. Smith of Cornie,
Okla, who was one of the robbers
connected with the looting of the
Amity Bank on August "a. Smith
pleaded guilty when importuned to do
so by Prosecuting Attorney Tillman
B. Parks, who recommended that the
prisoner be given the short sentence
of only six years if he pleaded guilty.
Difference to the mans age was also
mentioned, it being ascertained that
the defendant was 81 years of age in
stead of so. according to first reports.
Judge G. R. Haynie concurred with
Prosecuting Attorney Parks.
Court opened early and legal bat
tie ensued when Warren & Richardson,
the defendants attorneys from Hugo,
Okla. contended that the two alleged
robbers had been kidnapped from
Oklahoma into this state. Their con-
tention went for naught, and the
trial was made ready shortly before
noon. After the noon recess the pris-
oner was brought from the Jail to the
courtroom. A large crowd jammed
the room to its capacity. Then came
the proposition Of Prosecutor Parks.
The crowd almost left their seats in
their intense excitement to hear what
the old man would say. He arose to
his full height of six feet and said:
Il plead guilty of the act that is
charged against me, because am 800
miles from home and friends and re-
alize have not sufficient evidence of
my innocence"
Then, waving his right hand in a
natural eloquence, with traces Of
tears in his eyes, he added:
II wish to state, your honor, that
you are passing sentence upon an in
nocent man."
Judge Haynie replied:
well, don't know about that"

DEFECT OF MODERN TIMES
Nations Mobilize for War, but Fail to
See the Necessity for Same
Thing In Peace.

Here, then, is the sorry contrast
between mobilization for war and the
lack of it in peace, writes Graham
Taylor in the Survey. Under the
urgency of war the nation instinc-
lively feels that the strength of all j:
impaired by the weakness of any,
that its whole resource is available To
conserve every vital force, that as
each individual and class is needed
by all, so all that the nation has is
available for each.
The difference between the two ex-
periences lies in the presence or alb
sence of national consciousness and
resourcefulness in meeting national
emergencies. In peace we have not
5ct become conscious that unemploy-
ment is a national emergency, to be
met only by the concern and re-
sources of the whole nation. In
America the emergency is still
thoughtlessly and unjustly left to the
individual, the family, the locality
and the class suffering most from it,
to grapple with. Even they delay so
ate to do so that they can have re-
course only to charity, seldom to JUS
tice; only to relief, never to preven-
ion; only to recovery from disas-
-rous effects, not to dealing with
,auses of disaster.

DOESN'T ADMIRE "LowBRow"
Writer in the New Republic Refers to
Him In Terms That Are by No
Means Complimentary.

The professional lowbrow is a man
bent at all costs on preserving what
he regards as the masculine integrity
of his character. He has feeling
that if he yields once nothing can
save him. Let him enjoy Tristan"
with the other highbrows, or reflect
upon the quality of his own soul, and
before long he will be wearing a
wrist watch, spats and a monocle,
gazing devotedly upon blue china
and carrying lilies as he strolls down
Piccadilly. His humor is too Bit
ing for such a calamity. How would
he explain himself to his friends if
he picked wild flowers in a derby hat,
or read George Meredith on the train
to Newark?
But as a matter of fact the deiib-
crate lowbrow is not "a regular fell
low" He wears a self-distorting
pose. His careful, artificial avoid
ance of subtlety and distinction is
worlds away from the genuine
naivete of simpler people. The slang
which is their speech is his affecta-
ton. Their whole-hearted pleasures
are to him a ritual of city life. He
uses his shrewd intelligence to pro-
tect himself from complex ideas and
careful determinations. He is at
bottom a shirk, afraid of intellectual
difficulties, too timid not to be part
of crowd. He is the sycophant of
democracy, its fawning, fattering
spiritual demagogue.-The New Re
public.

CANAL EVENTUALLY SALT.

Although the Chagres lake, formed
by the damming of the Chagres river,
is IS feet above sea level and is sup
piled by fresh water from the PAN
anna hills and the natural Mirahores
lake is about sixty feet above the sea
and supplied by fresh water streams,
it is expected that in time the entire
canal, with the water in the locks,
will become salt. This will be due
to hydraulic action. Even now the
MirafOres lake has become brackish
and the water there has become unfit
for use in the water supply that was
planned in connection with it. Little
by little the salt water at the cana
entrances is mixing with the fresh
water of the canal, and this mixing
of waters, though gradual, will b.
constant and persistent.

In cold weather ducks should be
kept In the house because their feet

REMOVING COLOR FROM OIL
Various Processes Through Which the
Product Of the Cottonseed
Must Be Put.

Oil is squeezed from the cotton
seed. This oil comes to the packeries
in its crude or raw form. 1t is very
dark--so dark that one cannot see
through a glass pint bottle of it.
This oil is placed in large iron tank
in which are placed a number of
iron pipes. Through these steam is
sent, which heats the oil to nearly
boiling stage. The oil is sent
whirling about the tank for a time
and then the agitation is stopped and
the steam shut off. Quickly a pre-
cipitation of all solids takes place
and the pure oil remains at the top.
This is drawn off and a process of
deodOrizing takes place through the
agency of applied heat. This is done
to remove all vegetable smell and is a
further step in publication. If the
product is intended for the olive oil
trade it is dripped through fuller's
earth. Each process removes color.
After deodorization it becomes a
light amber color. After the fuller's
earth process it may be called a white
oil with orange effect.

FEED CHICKENS SOUR MILK
Liberal Supply Mixed With Corn viii
Keep Fowls In Healthy and
Growing Condition.

(By A. c. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment
StationD
Sour milk is utilized in one of the
best possible ways by feeding It to
chickens. Those who think that they
get greater returns by feeding 1t to
hogs should remember that the flesh
OF chickens brings at least twice as
much on the market as that Of hogs.
Milk and corn are both liked by
chickens, and proper mixture of the
two makes one of the best and most
appetizing rations for the season when
the days are warm and the nights
cool For the best results the corn
should be cracked and soaked several
hours in either sweet or sour skinned
milk or in buttermilk. The corn may
be put in pals in the morning and
the milk poured on until the top Of
the corn is submerged two or three
inches. When this has been absorbed
more should be added at intervals
during the day and the mixture will
be excellent for feeding by night.
A liberal supply of this ration will
keep the chickens growing rapidly and
insure their being constantly plump
and In excellent condition for the
market. Try 1t once and the fowls
will tell you whether they like 1t. Try
1t two weeks or a month and they
will show you whether 1t is a good
and economical feed.
