Dogs Are Now ''Hoboing"

Station Agent R. C. Thompson
is the possessor of a small dog
that hoboed his way from Mem
phis to this city on freight
train No. 253 last week.
Conductor Saulters stated
to Mr.. Thompson that the dog
was heard barking around the
train in the yards at Memphis
and also at Bridge Junction.
When the train stopped here to
get a car of cattle the crew was
attracted by the barking of a
dog which sounded like the one
they had heard at Memphis and
Bridge Junction. whereupon they
began a search to locate the ca
nine noise. The little hobo"
was finally located beneath a big
box car and mounted upon the
heavy trucks.
If John Hall of the SALEM SUN
hears of this dog, we won't ex-
pect anything else but to hear of
him blaming the Democratic ad-
ministration for this unusual
happening.

NUMBER 20
Methodist Church News

Last Sunday afternoon we had
our first quarterly conference
with a good congregation present.
The building committees for
the building of our church here
and at Fakes Chapel were elected
by the conference.
DR.. G. B. Fakes, w. H. Jimer-
son, H. D. Swayze, G. G. Nc
Crory and Maynard Wherry were
chosen as building committee for
the McCrory church and w. E.
Jelks, R. E. Holder and Jim Tay-
lor were chosen as a committee
to build the church at Fakes
Chapel.
Monday morning the building
committee at McCrory met to
talk over the plans for the build
ing of our church. DR.. Fakes
was elected president; C. C. Nc
Crory, secretary and H. D.
SwayZe, treasurer.
DR.. w. F. Evans, our Presiding
Elder met with us and gave us a
profitable talk on the building of
a church.
May we all lend helping hand
to the erecting of this Temple of
God, so the blessings will not
come to only a few but to all the
people of our town for having
taken part in this great work.
Do you expect it to be your
church, or is it to be the other
man or woman's church? If you
fail to lend a helping hand in the
building of this church, what
claim will you have on it? What
blessing should you expect from
it? What right should you ex-
pect blessing from Gods house
if you will not help to build it?
Let us work and pray and the
victory will be ours, and in a few
months We will have beautiful
new church in our town that we
will all be proud of, and the Lord
will bless us for having labored
so faithfully for Him.
S. M. YANCEY, Pastor.

Andrews for Prosecuting Atty.

Tn our announcement column
this week will be found the au-
thorized announcement of Hon.
p R. Andrews of Helena, as a
candidate for the office of prose-
cutting attorney of this, the First
Judicial Circuit composed of
Woodruff, White, St. Francis,
Lee and Phillips counties.
The First Judicial District has
no better known citizen than the
subject of this sketch who is one
of the ablest and most successful
members Of the Arkansas Bar
and who is most public-spirited
and progressive citizen. Mr.. An
drews was prosecuting attorney
of this district for eight years
and resigned that position to
make the race for attorney gen.
eral of Arkansas in 1908, and,
although he was not successful
in that race, the result was so
close that it was several weeks
before it was known who had
won the Office.
Mr.. Andrews is now candidate
for prosecuting attorney of this
circuit and owing to his popu-
larity and his wide reputation as
an attorney of unusual ability
his many friends are confident
that he will undoubtedly be re-
turned to the office which he
previously held for six years and
in which he made an enviable
record as the states attorney.
Mr.. Andrews was born in
Lonoke County, Arkansas, Oct.
22, 1867, and is the son of T J.
Andrews. He began the study
of law when quite young and
was licensed to practice when he
was q years old, and has since
continued the practice of his
profession, with increasing sue
cess and honor. He began the
practice of law in the town of
McCrory Is years ago and he
holds a kindly feeling for the
people of this town for the many
courtesies and favors extended
while citizen here. He moved
from here to Augusta where he
resided until November 1908
when he moved to Helena where
ne has since resided.
For six and one-half years he
was attorney for the Iron Noun
tain Railroad Company, but re-
signed that important position
last July to make the race for
prosecuting attorney. We re-
specially submit his claims to
the voters and would ask that
you carefully consider his can
oidacy before casting your ballot
Tor one to fill this important
office.

AN INTERESTING
QUESTION OF LAW
Involving the Ownership Of Certain
Shares of Doe Run Lead Co.
Capital Stock

Company be directed to come into
court and interplead, and as grounds
therefor stated that the agreement
between Rickard and the National
Bank Of Commerce on the one hand
with the officers and directors of the
st. Joe Lead Company on the other
hand, was that the holder and owner
Of these % shares were by virtue Of
the agreement aforesaid obligated to
surrender the 23 shares of Doe Run
Lead stock and take therefor their
pro-rata of the st. Joe Lead Com
pany stock.
1t was shown by the evidence on
the part Of Mr.. Holmes that he did
not know anything about any agree
ment between the National Bank of
Commerce and the pledgor of this
stock with anybody; he bought the
stock at the foreclosure sale. 1t was
further shown that the Cashier of the
National Bank Of Commerce of st.
Louis by letters stated to Mr.. Guy
Fisher, the broker who purchased the
stock for Mr.. Holmes, and to Mr..
B. H. Marbury, the attorney for Mr..
Holmes, that at the time of the no.
tice of sale, and at no other time,
was the said National Bank of Com
morce obligated by any contract
whatever not to sell the same. 1t
was further shown by Mr.. Holmes
himself that he knew nothing about
an alleged contract, and bought the
stock without notice and in good
faith; and it was further shown by
him on cross-examination that the
reason he purchased this stock was
that the owners of the majority stock
of the StaJoe Lead Company, under
their Reorganization scheme, had
agreed and did put Mr.. Holmes on the
Board of Directors, but that when he
was unwilling to reduce the wages of
the laboring men unless the wages Of
men higher up were reduced, and for
other reasons, testified to, he was left
off the board; and that thereafter, to
protect his interests in the Doe Run
Lead Company, he purchased this
stock.
After hearing all the evidence and
the argument Of the attorneys the
Court decided to order the st. Joseph
Lead Company to interplead on or be-
fore March 20, 1916, and then contin-
ued the case over to the next regu-
lar May term, 1916,

The case Of Robert Holmes against
the Doe Run Lead Company, which
was mandamus proceeding to compel
the officers of the Doe Run Lead
Company to transfer certain %
shares of capital stock of the Doe
Run Company, held by one Montgom-
cry on the books of the Comapny, to
the name of Robert Holmes, was tried
last Friday and Saturday in the Cir
cult Court.
1t seems that several years ago
these 23 shares were owned by one
Rickard, and were hypothecated with
the National Bank Of Commerce of
st. Louis to secure a loan made by
the Bank to Rickard; and it develop
ed that Rickard had an agreement
with the bank that this stock should
be transferred or should be delivered
to the st. Joe Lead Company, and
that that Company should issue stock
of the st. Joe Lead Company in lieu
of the Doe Run Lead Company stock
in accordance with certain plan of
consolidation heretofore made. It
afterwards developed that the pledgor
Of this stock became fugitive from
justice, and the bank to protect it.
self caused the stock to be issued in
the name of Montgomery; that Mont
gomery did not enter into similar
agreement with the bank and the St.
Joe Lead Company that Rickard had
entered into; that after this note had
become due the National Bank of
Commerce advertised this stock un-
der its collateral agreement for sale
at the East Court House Door in the
City of st. Louis. On the day of sale
Robert Holmes representative was
present and purchased the stock.
Thereafter he made demand on the
officers of the Doe Run Lead Com
pany to transfer this 23 shares of the
capital stock of the Doe Run Lead
Company from Montgomery to
Holmes, which the Doe Run Lead
Company officials declined to do up
on the advice of counsel.
The Doe Run Lead Company, by its
answer, admitted that the 2S shares
of stock were outstanding and be-
longed to someone, and that they
were ready and willing to issue said
% shares to the rightful owner, but
suggested that the st. Joseph Lead

Why a Baby Week?

A Baby Week is campaign for
a two-fold purpose:1. To give the pa
rents of community the opportun-
ity of learning the most important
facts with regard to the care of the
baby. 2. To bring home to the COM
munity knowledge of the facts re-
garding the needless deaths of the
babies, and realization of the ways
in which it must protect them.
Baby Week is a national affair
and it should be a matter of interest
to the whole community.
Conservation.
We are conserving our forests, our
mines, our water power. What are
we doing to conserve human life, our
greatest national asset?
Is this conservation worth while {?
If so, let us work for better woman
and child legislation, expert labra-
tory service, State travelling infants

Is it worth while to us as a city?
If SO, let us pass and enforce ordi-
nances for clean streets and alleys;
and infant welfare stations.
Infant Mortality.
Do you know that in the United
States 124 out of every 1000 regis
tered babies die?
What is che death rate in Farm
ington?
What is being done to lower the
death rate?
Can we not strive to make the
death rate here the lowest Of any
community of its size in the country?
The problem of infant mortality is
q most urgent one. Its scope is
worldwide, and on its partial solu-
ton, at least, depends the welfare Of
posterity.
The causes Of infant mortality are
mainly the result of three conditions

One third of all infant deaths oc-
cur as the result of digestive disturb
ance, brought on chiefly by faulty
feeding. Soothing syrups are dan
gerous; pacifers are both needless
and injurious; baby needs rest and
regular hours of sleeping, and should
not be kept up late or handled too
much.
The baby is like a little plant; he
must have fresh air and sunlight. He
will droop and die if kept in close,
dark room, deprived of natures best

Every baby's birth should be reg

necessary for school attendance, 60

Every man and woman, whether the
parents of a baby or not, should know
what their own health department is
doing.

Arrested Charged
With Murder

Sheriff James F. Whitehead Of
Vienna, ILL.,, arrived in Bismarck last
Tuesday morning, accompanied By
Deputy Sheriff Mitchell of this coun-
ty, and took into custody Francis
Marion Henderson, who had few
hours before been arrested by Mar
shall ]. A. Fitzgerald. He is charged
with the murder of Monroe Davis in
Johnson county, ILL.,, on November 2
1914.
The murdered man was a brother
of Henderson's wife. Henderson will
ingly agreed to return to Illinois with
the sheriff without requisition. He
had successfully evaded the officers
Of the law up to the time of his ar
rest at Bismarck by frequently chang
ing his place of abode, first in Texas,
then in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
A dispatch to the st. Louis papers
on the 9Th of February announcing
that the three-year-old child of Ed
Henderson was burned to death in
boiling water led to his Identification

The good people of Pennington and
st. Francois county, who are inter-
ested in caring for homeless chill
dren, or sssse S1o have lost Their
parents, will be glad to know that the
Home is receiving substantial support
from the State at large. During the
experimental days of establishing the
Home, no special solicitation for sup
port of the Home has been made in
our local communities. Many gener-
Gus individuals have given produce
and some money to the Home, but no
effort has been made to draw the
support of the Home from the city or
county. The Board of Trustees has
felt that the support of the Home
must come from the State at large,
and now, after a number of months,
we have found that generous Presby-
terians over the State are glad and
willing to support such an institution
that will care for homeless children.
Besides the gifts for the running ex-
penses of the institution, two thou
sand dollars have been given and
spent on improvements on the prop
erty.
Having passed the experimental
stage, the Home is now preparing to
go forward in its helpful mission. To

75O Members for the County Farm
Bureau

At the conclusion of the address
on the County Farm Bureau, deliv-
cred Friday afternoon by Sam Jor-
don, campaign was inaugurated,
the object of which being to secure
750 members for the County Farm
Bureau. Membership cards were cir
,cufated at that time and practically
every man present became a member
of The st. Francois County Farm Bu-
reau. This campaign will be contin-
ued and an effort will be made to So
licit for membership every farmer
and business man in the county.
The Farm Bureau as an organiza-
ton is either justified or it is not.
It has been in existence long enough
for the people Of the county TO know
whether or not it is an organization
worth perpetuating. If it is not
then it had better be abolished. If
its presence is justified, then it de-
serves the loyal support Of every man
in the county. The Farm Bureau is
the only organization that we have
that is countrywide in its interests.
AS suggested by our motto, "Bet-
ter Farming, Better Stock, Better
Living" it stands for all things that
make for better community welfare.
1t aims to serve both the individual
and the rroups and one as well as the
other. The more~ members we have,
tie more efficiently can we do the
work that is ours to accomplish.
