HAZEL HOTEL BADLY
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Originating in Laundry at 2
O'clock Monday Morning.

Newport, June 12.-At an
early hour this morning fire de
stroyed almost half of the Ho-
tel Hazel. No lives were lost in
the destruction of Newport
largest hotel and the property
loss is estimated at SIS,
Had it not been for the work
of the fire department the
whole block would have been
total loss.
The smoke was first detected
by Chester Ward, night clerk
at the hotel, who at once awak-
ened the proprietor, l., McDou-
gal, Upon reaching the second
floor smoke and flames were
observed breaking from the
linen room, which was oVerthe
sample room, and it was only
by prompt awakening of the
sleeping guests that lives were
not lost.
All guests were awakened
in time to reach the ground
floor by stairways except Al
fred Sehlugleit, a Belgian pearl
buyer. who occupied room No.
&c, next to the alley. He did
not awaken or get out of his
room in time to reach the stair
way before the halls were
ablaze and was rescued with
difficulty. Though a rope was
provided in his room for such
an emergency, he did not think
to use it, and a rope had to be

GOATS AND SHEEP
Arkansas could we'll affC

Arkansas could well afford
ito introduce in the next ninety
days a million goats and half
as many sheep. Of course it
would be impossible to get that
many but Dean ]. H. Miller of
the Extension Division of the
University of Arkansas believes
that this is a golden opportun-
ity for Arkansas. Wool is high
er than for many, many years,
38 to 2 cents per pound, and
sheep will be profitable for a
long time. They are worth their
keep as cleaners. Goats are
worth buying for cleaning up
the thousands of acres of hill

NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY

The cotton farmers of the
South will do we'll to look for
ward to a new independence
day, a day when they can be
independent because out of
debt for the family mainten-
ance. Why not name October
as the new independence day
and look forward to the time
when every cotton farmer will
owe no man anything on that
day and be able to hold his
cotton until he gets ready to
sell it instead of being obliged
to deliver it on a certain day
because it really belongs to
someone else? The cotton far

or something to sell during the
summer, and can be out of debt
on October [, and with a little
money in the bank, can right
~ think of it as a new Indepen-
dence Day. When all Arkansas
cotton farmers can hold their
cotton and market it when they
please, better prices will be
maintained.

Beautiful Tribute
to the Apple

An apple is one of the master
pieces of nature. A vast, com
plicated interplay of forces worked
together TO produce it. For year,
the tree grew from seed to trunl
and branches, and then through
many months it carried on the
secret, subtle chemistry by which
it distilled its juicy sweets into its
ripened fruit. Bursting into frag-
rant bloom and bud in May, it
then elaborated its sap into the
flesh Of the apple and favored it
with sugar, spiced it with wine
and wrapped it in its thin but
tough integument. The bleezes
famed it, the showers baptised it,
the sun kissed il and the frost
mellowed it. 1t distilled its most
delicate flavors from the dew and
caught its colors from rainbows
and sunsets. Earth and sun
watched over it and the solar
system Graded it in its care. That
apple literally became a center of
the universe and all the stars re-
volved around it. After such
wide toll and tender care, with so
many virtues and graces lavished
upon it, no wonder il comes to us
as one of the choicest gifts of
nature. And now it will presently
on our tables prepared in
many appetizing forms, apple
sauce, apple butter, stewed and
baked, and especially as that uni
versal favorite, apple pie, or even
better still, apple dumplings. 1t
will be favored and spiced SO
that its very odor will make the
mouth water. But why cook an
apple? The raw fruit, just as it
fell ripe and mellow from the !
rec and came fresh and crisp
rom the cool cellar or with the
rost of the orchard still upon it,
reeds no culinary art to improve
t. 1t melts il the mouth and
sends its delicious sweets in a
tream of exquisite sensations
lown along the whole digestive
ract. A knife spoils it; let it be
and crunched in the
mouth and then it gives out its
ichest flavor and yields the

Worst Winter Since 1906
Range Stock Dying

That the past month of January
is the worst experienced in this
country since the winter of 1906
1907 is the unanimous statement
of all the old-time residents of
this section of Montana. They
say never have they seen it stay
continually cold for such a long
period. The past month with the
exception of a very few days,
thermometers have registered
way below zero, mostly around
the 20-3O mark.
Last Monday we had the worst
blizzard we believe we have ever
seen, and the way it blew the
snow off the flats and hills into
the coulees was something awful.
Large snow drifts are to be seen
everywhere and roads the past
week have been almost impass-
able. The mail has been unable
to arrive on time the past week.
Range cattle which are being
fed hay and straw are standing
the cold weather fairly well so
far, but cattle that are not being
fed are already commencing to
die out on the range, according to
reports received from different
points throughout the Redwater
Valley, and some people report
having colts dying out on the
range.

greatest satisfaction. The apple
is one of the most wholesome of
our fruits and has health giving
and medicinal virtues of the great
est value. 1t starts all the secre-
tions into vigorous action and
floods the system with fresh
tide of life. 1t is friend of health
and a foe of disease. 1t is food,
tonic, condiment and cosmetic all
in one. 1t imparts its own virtues
and its wine kindles brilliance in
the eyes, and its ruddy colors
plant roses in the cheeks. One
can hardly eat too many of them
and after the heartiest meal there
is always room for at least one
apple more. And an apple is a
social fruit. 1t flocks in great
multitudes and heaps in the
orchard and it draws human be-
ings together in fellowship. Some
times there is only one thing bet
ter than An apple, and that is
another apple that is being eaten
by a friend. One does not enjoy
an apple so well alone; it suggests
comradeship and fellowship, and
then lis colors glow in richer
hues and its flesh is more juicy.
On a winter evening around the
family fireplace it is a means of
'amily unity and grace. Plenty
Of good apples will help to keep
he children at rome and in at
hight. When the neighbors come
n, the inevitable basket of apples
llways puts everybody at ease and
n good humor. Among the
blessings of the year let us num-
,er our great apple crop. Forty
million barrels are none too
many. They will be poured out
lpon our people in a rainbow
hover and will bring health and
badness into many homes.-The

New Ruling Regarding
Homestead Contests

An order Of fal reaching i'm.
portance to holders of govern
ment homestead handsome which
it is believed will be greeted with
universal jubilation on the part Of
homestead entrymen in that if
lays an almost insurmountable
obstacle in the path of the illegal
contestants of entries, has recent
ly been issued by the general
land office at Washington, says
an exchange. The new ruling
is declared to be one of the most
important amendments made to
the rules of practice of the land
office in several years.
Under the new regulations it
will be necessary for the person
bringing a contest against a home-
stead entry to accompany his
statement of charges with an af-
fidavit from a witness setting
forth the same allegations con-
tanned in the contestants state
ment. The witness may be charged
with perjury, together with the
contestant, in case the charges
are found untrue.
Heretofore, it was only neces-
sary for witness to sign the con-
testants statement corroborating
the charges generally. In this
manner it was practically impos
sible to bring charges against the
witness in case the contestant had
perjured himself, because the |
of escape were many. |
But under the amendment, a wit
ness, by alleging the same charges
in separate complaint, would |
make himself liable to the law in
the same degree as the contest
ami himself. On the other hand,
It is believed the new ruling will
facilitate matters in c.,se the
charges brought by the contest
ant are true and the origional hol
der of the homestead, by nom
compliance with the laws, is en-
titled to lose his land. The amend
nent is as follows:
The statements in the appli-
,ation must be corroborated by
he affidavit of at least one wit
less having such personal knowl-
,dge of the facts in relation to the
contested entry as, if proven, will
'ender it subject to cancellation,
md these facts must be set forth
n his affidavit"

uling is anothe amendment to

From my esteemed contem-
porary, The Rebel, I learn that
the untimely death Of Miss Vera
Yuceless, only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Wursen Yuceless, was
an event Of more than usual in
<erest in the society news Of the
week.
Miss Yuceless was one of last
years debutantes, and her COM
ing-out party was considered at
the time to be one Of the most ex-
sravagantly elaborate and waste
full that ever graced the columns
of a society page.
The Yucelesses are one Of the
most prominent families in Ameri-
ca. Lord Howe Yuceless, one Of
the most distinguished and re-
spected ne'er do-Wells Of his time,
came over in 1910. In the Revolu-
tionary War, Commodore Moore
n. Yuceless distinguished himself
by being opposed to independ-
ence until he realized that the
American forces were triumphant
and then he came out as one Of the
original exponents of freedom.
Since that time his descendants
have kept up the Yuceless tradi-
tion as staunch and patriotic sons
and daughters Of the American
Revolution.
Mr.. Wursen Yuceless, who is
one Of our leading magnates and
fnanciers, is naturally proud OF
his name, Other well-known mem
bers of the Yuceless family who
have figured prominently in
society events are Miss Remayne
Yuceless, and Messrs. Ever Wazz
and Will B. Yuceless.
The funeral services, which
were held at the Church of the
Sanctifed Securities, were q
splendid triumph of expensive
ornate and well-bred gloom.

There's money to loan to the mer-

When bad collections have made him

There's money to loan to the farmer
bold
Who owns wide acres of fertile mold ::
Who keeps a hundred blooded cows,
And rides on tractor when he ploWs.
There's money to loan to most any
skate
Who has abundance of real estate,
Or hogs or cattle, Or bonds or stocks,
To be security for the rocks.
There's money to loan If you're cut
ting ice;
There's money to loan if you have the
price;
But not a plunk, nor a dollars ghost,
To loan to people who need it most!
