Shutting Up the Shop.

It is rather surprising to the foreign. CT visiting South American countries for the first time to find most of the best and prettiest shops almost ker- medically sealed at night. If the build. ing is of the older style of construc- ton the heavy shutters are closed and locked by iron bars if more modern building, the flexible sliding doors and windows are completely drawn, and the passerby can see nothing within the shop.
 All is darkness save the light of the street lamps; no brilliantly lighted windows help to add cheer and bright ness to the street.
 In European and American cities the average merchant is willing to spend money freely for nightly display of his wares and merchandise. He real izes and appreciates the publicity. The evening crowds upon our streets are highly entertained and even in- structed by window displays of the busy streets.
 Herein lies the difference; for, as a rule, the South American streets, busy and attractive during the day, are quite the reverse at night. Even in some of the larger cities the old custom. of dramatically sealing the shop at night prevails.

AT the approaching election when the voter is thinking about voting down the infamous act to bring whiskey back into our state he must not lose sight of another important duty of vot- ing and using every means to encourage the return of our present chief executive to the White House. The country has experienced an era of prosperity as never before under Wilson S administration, and Brinkley and surrounding territory has been particularly blessed. We cannot afford to have a change from our present conditions. Of course Arkansas will go demo- cratic anyway but we should

New PIace-Names for Canada.

By the decisions of the geographic board of Canada made in April and May three ''Trouts" are eliminated from our list of place-names. Which Is well, because there are plenty of 'Trouts" left, enough in fact to still cause confusion.
 A lake and river emptying into Hud- son bay, in the Patricia district of northern Ontario, have been relieved of the name, Trout, and given that of Sutton; a lake and river in Saguenay country Quebec, that bore both the name Trout and Petite, have been giv- en the Indian name, Matamek; and third Trout disappears by calling the river north of Pontax river, in north Quebec, Opamwastik.
 A river empties into James bay, south of Eastman river, Mistassini territory, Quebec, had been called Sheep river. Its new name is Miati- kush, this Indian name meaning sheep.
 In the new north these Indian names seem particularly appropriate most of them are euphoneous, and they are associated with the traditions and the history of the original population.

ODD NAMES GIVEN CHILDREN
Seems an Injustice for Parents to Inc fiict Some of Them on Their
 Helpless Offspring.

It would seem poor sort of humor to label a child with a Christian name which fits the surname all too we'll, like Sardine Box, Jolly Death, Holly Stick, Rose Bush, Long Street, Seldom Early. and the like, but it is done, nevertheless.
 Of course, Nemesis is sometimes on the track of these practical jokers, only his revenge is probably wrecked on the namebearer rather than on the parents. For instance, Wild Rose sounded very appropriate in infancy, but when the pretty Miss Rose mar ried the fascinating Mir. Bull, and she had to sign her resignation paper Wild Bull it sounded a pit queer!
 Somebody, of course, noo~lJ is to blame. Nobody was in the 01ee of Hetta Simpson, who married MT. John Lott, but she got unmercifully chafed over the combination, Hetta Lott.
 But the font-fiend who perpetrated the following joke upon his uncon- scious though wildly protesting bairn must have known what he was doing. Probably if the parson had twigged the diabolical design of the smiling father he might have transposed two of the names and spoiled the plor.
 The parents were called Gum, and when the parson asked for the child's baptismal names the father whispered, "Benjamin Isaac Godfrey" and it sounded all right. But fancy that lad writing all his life such conceited signature as B. I. G. Gum! It's too dreadful
 There are certain names that are "off the map" Such are Jezebel, Ana nias, Sapphira, Judas and Beelzebub. But occasionally parents have been known to take mean revenge on new and unwelcome arrival, as, for instance, One-too-many Johnson. Not wanted Smith, Odious Heaton. Poor kids
 Sometimes the idea is the reverse. So profoundly thankful are the hap py pair to have new baby that they must express their joy at the font. Thus we get Merry Christmas Fig got, Welcome Jones, but it is difficult to admire such names as Noah's Ark Smith and Anno Domini Davis.
 Many people wrongfully conclude that the names bestowed by Bunyan upon his immortal jury at Vanity Fair were very exceptional. But his MT. Hatelight and Mr. Liveloose had their counterpart in the local director of Bunyan's time.
 Singularly enough, volume pub- lished in 1700 gives copy of Jury Return made at Rye, Sussex, Eng land, in the late Rebellious Troublous Times"
 The names of the 12 were: Meek Brewer, Graceful Harding, Kill-sin Pimple, Earth Adams, Weep-nOt Bill ing, More Fruit Fowler, Hope-for Bending, Return Spelman, Ely Debate Roberts, Stand Fast On High Stringer, Be Faithful Joiner, and Fight the Good Fight of Faith White.

Subscription Price $50 Per Year

THIS week we received an ad- vertisement from Mir. Mayo of Holly Grove, in reference to a lost mule. Almost by the time the notice had been put into type Mir. J. H. Gordon, who lives about four miles southwest of Brinkley, called at the ARGUS office and said that he had taken up mule and wanted to know if we had a notice of a lost mule in this weeks issue of our paper. After reading the description given by MT. Mayo he said he had the mule. This clearly shows not only the value of ad- yertising but that the AGRUs is the medium in which to reach the people and that the reading public and busy shoppers of the county and adjacent territory look through these columns first for anything of direct impor- tance to them.

DIRECTED verdict
FREESFUJIMOTO

r After the prosecution had rested its
case al noon today, counsel for NJ. Full
motto, charged with the murder OF
Hiroki Emoto. who was chauffeur for
James p Castle. moved for directed
/ verdict OF not guilty. Circuit Judge
Ashford granted the motion and the
Gefenjan; was released.
Her left cheek marked with a liyfd
scar. a lasting reminder OF the Srue-
seine night in August, when her hus.
band was murdered and she was
Ifnghtfullg slashed with a knife. Tome
Emoto, l7-year-old Japanese widow,
took the stand in Circuit Judge Ash.
forG's court today and. In excellent
English. testified in the case OF n.
Fujimoto, charged with the murder
OF Hiroki Emoto.
The little woman said that Fujimo.
TO, her brether-in-law, had opposed her
marriage with Emoto. She asserted
that during the two years she haa
lived at Fujimoto's house prior to her
marriage. he had treated her as his
own wife. and had repeatedly as
saulted her whenever he had a
chance" and against. her will.
These relations. she said. began be-
fore she was is years old. On one
occasion, she added. Fujimoto beat
her with bamboo stick and then
locked her in room for a whole day,
harold Castle, for whom she worked,
came and took her away, she said.
Some suspicion was aroused in con-
nection with the case by the discovery
this morning of Chin Wee, a Chinese
man of about 40 years, employed at
the Castle place. dead in the same cot.
tage in which Emoto was killed.
This suspicion was allayed, how
ever, when Police Surgeon r. G. Aver
said the man died of valvular heart
disease.

incites the fear and suspicion of other
countries more than demonstration
OF that same fear and suspicion in this
country.
If all men were like DR.. Dole there
would be absolutely no military
preparation, but he admits that under
existing conditions certain amount

trend should be against instead OF
for it, He declares CONSUMPTION is
the height of undemocracy.

There was merry twinkle in DR..

Hughes might have done a little bet.

had stayed home and not gone about
irving TO dc the impossible. winning
votes without enc real issue.
The national election pointed out
one thing which has not been dis
cussed," he says, that ought to be
apparent to anyone, that Is, the end
of partisan platforms and more of the
man in the race.
Certainly the people Of the United
States did not want war; that's one
reason why they returned Mr.. Wilson
to the presidency But then the ma
jority of people in any country do not
want war; there is where the despic-
ableness of the whole war plan comes
in. The few control and ruin the mul.

DR.. Dole is intensely interested in
the assimilation of the Oriental peo-
pie in Hawaii and may write some
thing about conditions among them,
although he came here with no inten-
ton of doing so. He says much OF his
writing has followed suggestion or
request rather than deliberate in,
tention on his part.
