CHANGES WILL GIVE
BETTER MAIL SERVICE

When the schedule of the
West-bound morning passenger
train on the White River road
was changed sometime ago, the
change in time demoralized the
rural mail service out of Sui
phur Rock, as the schedule of
the rural mail carriers required
them to leave before the mail
from the morning train was re-
ceived.
This condition has been re-
lieved by an order from the
postoffice department at Wash

now leave Sulphur Rock upon
receipt of mail from train 21O,
but not later than 10 a. m.

Democratic Convention Assem-
bles in St. Louis and viii
Give Wilson Unanimous En-
dorsement For Second Term

st. Louis, June 14.-The
Democratic National Conven-
ton at its first session today
heard the keynote of American
ism and peace, preparedness
and prosperity sounded by for
mer Gov. Glynn of New York
as temporary chairman, and,
with a high pitch of enthusiasm,
emphatically registered by de-
monstration after demonstra-
ton, its approval of President
Wilson's peaceful conduct of
foreign affairs.
The convention, which had
gotten under way with such
perfunctory demonstrations as
mark every national gathering
of the kind, soon stirred itself
into roaring cheers as Chair
man Glynn cited historic paral-
lels to show that other presi-
dents including Republicans.
had adjusted threatening for
eign situations without resort
to war.
William j. Bryan as a news
paper correspondent in the
press stand, wept with emotion
as Glynn pictured the victories
OF peace but he laughed with
the crowd when a Texas dele
gate interrupting Glynn leaped
to his chair and cried. And
don't forget that policy also is
satisfactory to William J. Bry-
an.
No other name than Wilson'S
will be presented for the norni-
nation for President and it now
seems assured that Vice-Presi-
dent Thos. K. Marshall will be
named as his running mate.

THE RAIN INTERFERES
WITH WHEAT HARVEST
However, Between Showers the
Binders are Kept Running
Both Day and Night

The recent heavy rains have
retarded the wheat harvest
somewhat and will result in
some loss to the farmers. The
loss will be light, however, if
the rain does not continue.
Nearly every binder in the
community has been running
day and night for several days
except when stopped by the
rain.
Several farmers report that
they will make a yield of 80
bushels per acre. Taken as a
whole, however,the whole crop
is not as good as it was last
year.
The acreage in wheat is
greater than last year and
those in position to know say
the crop in this community will
to at least $4,000 bush
els. About 10000 bushels of
wheat was shipped from here
last year.

BAD FEELING RESULTS
FROM RECENT FIRE
Trouble Feared as Result of
Recent Destruction of Store
in Mt. Carmel Neighborhood

Considerable i'll feeling has
arisen in the Mount Carmel
neighborhood,a few milesnorth
of town, as result of the burn
ing of a store belonging to Mel
son Fitch a few weeks ago.
The store was burned by al
legged incendiaries about 2
o'clock on the morning of the
25th of April. The supposition
is that the parties who are sup
posed to have started the fire
had broken into and robbed
the store, and then set fire to
the building in order to cover
up the robbery. This is mere
supposition, however, as none
of the goods alleged to have
been stolen have been found
except some pocket knives,
some of which it is said that
Mr.. Fitch identified.
Friday, Dave Crawford, a
young man of that neighbor-
hood, was arrested, charged
with having been implicated in
burning the store. Young Craw-
ford was given a preliminary
trial before Squire Holmes at
Batesville and was bound over
to await the action ofthe grand
jury. The evidence against him
was purely circumstantial,

Millions Fought on Both Sides
In the Civil War,

The following estimate of three year
enlistments is quoted from George
Cary Eggleston's History Of the Con-
fcderate War; ''The north was able
to enlist an aggregate of 2,7TS, 304. or,
if we reduce this to basis of three
years service for each man. the Union
enlistmcnts for three full years num-
bcred no less than 1896, 1JS-or nearly
four times the total enlistmcnts in the
Confederate army. Yet the Confederate
armies included practically every white
man in the south who was able to
bear arms The following quotation
is from a recent compilations:
THE great war between the states
brought into action on the Union side
approximately 2,772O0O men, while
those who fought for the Confederacy
have been variously estimated to have
totaled between 100000 and 100000
and by some authorities at an even
higher figure than the last given 1t
Is certain that more than 3.50O,O0O

The Lessons Of '6l.5 For the
Children Of Today. g

d The children Of those days saw their
fathers go forth to battle amid the
strains Of martial music. They Joined
in the sorrow of those who saw them
depart. They shared the anxiety and
uncertainty after news Of a great bat
tie. } They formed part Of the group
around the reader, of the telegram on
that terrible Sunday after Gettysburg.
They saw the father as he came
home upon his furlough. They heard
the bells and saw the bontires that eel
ebrated Richmond's fail. They saw
the sun bronzed veterans return and
realized again the presence Of a father
whom they had almost forgotten.
They became burden bearers in taking
up the work Of one who would never
return. Plans for college life were
gladly given up. They realized from
experience the full measure of deyo-
ton which war meant.
Is there danger that their. children's
children forget? Not while parents
and teachers magnify these sacrifices.
Teachers of history today must vivify
the narrative of history until the chill
dren Of today feel and resolve with
those Of Civ. Fl. Cheever.
