FIGHT ON LICENSE
IN FIFTEEN CITIES
Springfield Will Also Vote on Substi.
tuition of Federal Charter for One
Now in Force.

BOSTON, Dee. SIN view of the
strength shown by the prohibition move
ment in the national election, more than
ordinary interest was apparent in this city
last night in the campaign on the liquor
question i'll the elections to be held in Is
Massachusetts cities today. In many
cities the margin between the license and
no-icense vote IS 50 small that each year
the annual fight overshadows all other
local issues, particularly in the places
where national party lines are not drawn
| Four OF the cities which will hold cleo
tons, Brockton, Cambridge, Salem and
| Naltham, voted against license last year
| The cities favoring license were Fall Riv-
| er, HaverhilI, Gloucester, Holyolke, Marl-
| boro, Leominster, New Bedford. North
ampton, Pittsfeld, Springfield and Taun-
| ton.
Springfield will also vote on the ques-
ton of substituting a so-called federal
charter for the present one which has
| been in force since the city was incorpor-
ated in 1852, In New Bedford there Is an
interesting mayoralty fight between

APPEAL WAIVED IN
GREENE WILL CASE
Contest For Estate of 100000 Aban-
doned by Representatives Of
South Woodstock Girl.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dee. 5.-Lorna
Greene of South Woodstock, VT, aged IL
years, yesterday waived her appeal from
the decree of the probate court approving
the will of her grandmother, Mrs. Carrie
T. Greene, who died in this city Jan. 8,
and the instrument was sent back to that
court Tor further proceedings. The UNI
expected and sudden abandonment of the
contest of the will means that the estate
OF nearly 100000 will go to three lnstltu-
tons and several private individuals, not
related to Mrs. Greene, save her grand
daughter, who will get only LOCO and a
lproportionate share of the residue. Henry
ii. Bosworth, guardian in the case for
Lorna, admitted that he saw no hope in
prosecuting the appeal, and his brother,
Charles w. Bosworth, who was trial coun-
sci for the appellant, had to abide by this
decision Accordingly William II. Nc
| Clintock, attorney for the will, informed
Judge Henry X. Braley in supreme court
! that the attorneys on the other side had
waived their appeal.
Charles W. Bosworth had summoned the
personal benefciaries other than Lorna
Greene, with the intention of cross-eXam-
lining them, as he had in probate court at
the preliminary hearing, when Judge
ICharles J.. Long approved the will The
lbeneticiaries were naturally pleased with
the outcome of the ease. Certain evidence
which Charles w Bosworth had expected
to secure regarding the testamentary ca
Ipaeity of Mrs. Greene when she made the
will failed to materialize, it is said Lorna
Greene was left in trust an estate OF
$4,000 by her father, Dr. Harrie w
IGreene, which had come to him from his
Imother, and it is also said that the coun-
sci for the will were prepared to show that
Mrs. Greene had in mind that Lorna will
be an heir of her grandfather, Homer l.
,Bosworth.

ABOUT COUNTY AGENTS.

Flfty-one counties in Arkansas
 have invested in county agricultural agents and it is the best investment
 ever made by any county. The coun ty agent pays for the investment in
 many ways. One agent reports the vaccination of 28OO hogs in ten months; another has vaccinated enough horses and cattle for anthrax
 to pay his salary for twenty years;
 another, in addition to his other du-
 ties, has conducted a campaign for screen doors and windows and has reduced the cases of malaria: agents
 below the quarantine line have built
 several hundred vats and have super vised the dipping of thousands of cattle; in all the counties they are directing the campaign for clovers and cover crops and from their work there will be thousands upon thous- ands of acres of clovers and there will be more acres of wheat and rye and oats for winter cover crops than ever before. The county agent and the home demonstration agent are the only two employees of county that work for the farmers all the time and the state and nation will pay one third of the salary. Every county in Arkansas should have these two val
 uable agents. Farmers who believe in the agent idea should let their views be known and emphatically too.
 Farmers in non-agent counties should write MT C. w. Watson, State Agent,
 Little Rock, for information.

ABOUT SHIPPING CORN.

Don't ship it, if there is enough stock in the county to eat it. From one neighborhood in Southeast Arkan- sas three weeks ago there were shipped to Illinois 5000 bushels of corn and three carloads of pigs. What mistakel Then, too, it will be ne- cessary to ship into other parts of that county this year several thous- and bushels of corn and many car loads of meat. Let everybody who may anticipate extra corn plan for cribs to save it for December and January sale to his neighbors or to other parts of Arkansas. Farmers who will have corn to sell should in- form the county agent and he is cer- tain to know of men who will need to buy corn. Arkansas will not have enough corn this year to feed its own stock. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and the U. s. Department of Agriculture is anxious to keep Arkansas corn in Arkansas.

Is THE HAUNTED HOUSE IN
 OUR TOWN LIKE THIS ONE?

Everyone knows what haunted houses are like Every town has one. Ellis Parker Butler, in the September American Magazine, tells about one he knows. He says:
 All the kids knew about the Haunt ed House. The way I knew about it was because We used to go out the Four Mile Road nutting and then We used to see it. Anybody would know it was a haunted house just by looking at it. The glass in the windows was all gone and boards, any old boards, were nailed across the windows, and the doors were either nailed up or broken in and hanging crooked on one hinge. The paint was all off and the chimneys had toppled over and the

ton established an open-air school of Al children. In that school it was proved that 23 cases of tuberculosis were either arrested or cured when the first summers work was complet- ed. New York opened a school the same year in an abandoned ferry boat which makes it interesting because it shows what good use apparently use- less places can be put to- So rigidly did this movement grow that in 1911 thirty-five cities had established such schools. Today over 100 cities have followed suit.
 Leonard H. Ayres, Pr D. of the Rus sell Sage Foundation, who made a study of this subject summaries his findings as follows:
 The open air school is a combina. ton of sanitarium, playground and schoolroom in which the daily regime consists of double rations of air. dou- ble rations of food and half rations of work. There are eight requisites of which the first three are imperativelv essential: The three cardinal requi- sites are: First, abundance of pure air; second, plenty of good food: and third, sufficient warm clothing. The other requisites are only less import ant. Number four is shelter from the wind, for experience teaches that wind and not low temperature causes suffering from cold Five, is the shel- ter where the child who gets chilly may be taken to get warm Sixth, provision for sleeping after the noon meal, seven, skillful physician and nurse. These do not have to be in attendance continuously, but should be available. Last, but not least it is necessary to have in charge a teacher who is intelligent, able, and imbued with success.

No intelligent person today doubts the advantage of schooling, and every one agrees that not only should chil- dren be given free education, but that everything possible should be done to encourage children to partake of this educStion. Yet in many cities of this country, and indeed in every city in Arkansas no provision is made for the anemic child or the child who may have 8 tendency toward tuberCu- losis. Our schools are usually made up of crowded class rooms with little ventilation, where the air of the room soon becomes bad and poisonous. The result is that children breathing this poisonous air become sleepy, have headaches, and going out into the cold air of winter take colds" With the delicate child it usually leads to se- rious disease and tuberculosis.
 In 1908, only eight years ago. Provi- dence, R. l., to counteract this influ- ence established an open air school. They used an abandoned building and COuNtIltu all VI ullldl lOOlI into three rooms leaving one side open so pure air could always enter in large quantities. This was done in mid-winter, the children being clothed in warm wraps and in this room were placed the sickly, anemic looking chill dren. It is interesting to note the i'm provement that immediately took place not only in their health, but in their studies. Of course, good food was supplied and it proved a paying investment For formerly thousands of dollars were being wasted on these children who could not grow into mandhood and womanhood and whose learning therefore could not be used.
 Other cities watched this expert ment closely and six months later Bos-

REFLECTIONS OF A
 BACHELOR GIRL

Before marriage a mans idea of a household motto is Rest in Peace;" after marriage it is more apt to be Gates Ajar," or "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight,'
 Love is the thing which tempts a man to tell foolish lies to woman and a woman to tell the fool truth to man.
 Nowadays one accepts ones friends changes in husbands or wives as one accepts their changes in residence; alas. divorce is no longer mark of wealth and social distinction.
 Sometimes even being married to a woman doesn't seem to lessen mans ] love for her.
 ! Listening to the tales of other peo- ple's matrimonial troubles is almost as fatiguing as hearing them tell about their operations for appendi- citis. They are all so exactly alike!
 Every man wants woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature-and another woman to help him forget them.
