TIONS AT EUREKA
SPRINGS

Eureka Springs, Ark, November
II, 1916: There is quite good-sized
colored colony down on Inman street
in this city, all that I have seen of
them being good looking, quiet and
industrious people, and therefore it
looks odd to my northern eyes to see
one part Of the railway depot, also one
portion Of the cars labeled ''For Col
ored Only" / have often thought
that the Declaration of independence
lacked one important clause to make
it strictly truthful, viz: eve hold
these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal, except
negroes" But that is not what ]
started to say. There is one old
'brack nanny" who makes a spe-
cialty Of cooking homemade hominy,
which she peddles from house to
house, and want to say it is the very
best ever tasted. Wife bought some
not long ago, and remarked that ii
was yet warm, to which Nanny re,
piled, "Gawd bless 20, honey, I done

dat hominy SOS to hab it fresh"
Osborne's barber shop is a favorite

The members of the M. v. S. and
Chenille Dorcas society met at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. H. Palmer,
to give them farewell dinner, as they
are soon to leave the home and move
into the city.
About fifty persons were present,
and the ladies joined in serving a
chicken pie dinner, accompanied by
many other toothsome viands. When
the two societies join in dinner the
results are something to be enjoyed
and long remembered After dinner
the time was spent in social inter
course, with pleasing mingling of
music and story telling.
AS the guests took their departure,
substantial, beautiful gifts, together
with good wishes for the Palmers in
their new home, were given and hopes

GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST
CLOTH THROUGH HAIR.
DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY
THY THIS! HAIR GETS THICK
GLOSSY, WAVY AND REAUTl-
Full AT ONCE!

Immediate? -Yesl Gertain?-that's
the 10Y of it. Your hair becomes light,
wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as
soft, lustrous and beautiful as young
girls after a Danderine hair cleanse.
Just try this-mOisten a cloth with
little Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt or excessive oil,
and in just few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair. A
delightful surprise awaits those whose
hair has been neglected or is scraggy,
faded, dry, brittle Or thin. Besides
identifying the hair, Danderine dis
solves every particle of dandruff;
cleanses, purifies and invigorates the
scalp, forever stopping itching and
falling hair, but what will please you
most will be after a few weeks use,
when you see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair, and lots
of it, surely get a 25-cent bottle OF
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store or toilet counter and just try it.

The following paper was read ex-
pressing Mr.. and Mrs. Pa1mer's pleas
ure and appreciation of remembrances
Of their friends:
Friends, thirty-five years we have
lived, loved and labored here and
among you, each year cementing anew
the ties of friendship. Here our chill
dren were born, grew to manhood,
married and came back to bring our
grandchildren that we might renew
our youth in their love and young
! lives.
The time has come when we must
leave the dear old home, but the go
ing is made easier by knowing that
son will take up the work that fail
ing strength obliges us to lay aside,
and will carry it on, we trust, to a
more complete fullness.
We appreciate very much the kind
ly interest that brought you here to-
day with kindly wishes, and sincerely
hope you will not forget us and that
you will help make life pleasant for
those who will follow us here in the
old home.

THE RELIGION OF
HUNTING DEER

Should preacher go deer hunting?
I will now ask you the question, and
you may give answer when you get
done reading what I have to say.
Our Lord Jesus went fishing, did he
! not? Did he do that simply to get a
fine boat ride, or to play in the water?
Or did he do it to get fish? And
what did he get the fish for? To ask
is to answer, for we all nave read how
his disciples Toasted with him on fish.
And if fish are good to eat, what about
the deer? But you will say: "How
| the poor animals suffer!"
Yes, we like venison. One year as
I had captured large ten-pronged
J buck for my home and came to our
next annual conference, fellow-min-
| lister in the presence of some others
asked, "Well, Brother Maves, how are
the wolves and the deer in the north %
| Upon his question | drew out the pic
ture of my recent capture and re-
piled:
Here is one of the nice specimens. "
"But," said he, 81 would be ashamed
to tell of such criminal Deeds" And
] of course all on-lookers saw he was
trying to get his younger brother into
the corner. Then said I:
Brother K, do you eat beef?'
He had to admit he did, and we
then pressed it upon him that he
either had to kill it or eat it alive.
And since he was great fisherman,
he failed also in quoting scientist
who has yet proven that his fish suf-
fers less out of water than my deer
did with his head hanging down in the
wood shed, or even in the finest of
mince pies. And if Christ today were
an American, don't you be too sure
but what we would occasionally find
him out with the red-coats hunting
deer in northern Wisconsin, Would
He not command: "Kill and eat'?
| Since l have entered the ministry
some years ago, it had been my happy
lot to erect several fine churches,
| leaving no debt behind, and also to
capture several very fine bucks with
out spending many shells; and, be-
lieve me, have found thrill in each
of them. Perhaps I can tell you in a
series Of articles during our present
hunting season why a preacher and
his family should not be forbidden by
| law to eat venison, nor in any other
way. Perhaps I can also picture to
you how surprised the deer in the
north are to see the preachers where
other men go; for it is my purpose,
with permission of the editor, in sew.
eral successive articles, to tell how
| the preacher got the buck, a happy
experience of three successive hunt.

BUSINESS MEN AND
EARNEST REPORTERS
TIMELY AND EFFICIENT ADVICE
GIVEN BY WARREN 3. Bull
LOCK OF MILWAUKEE

American merchants and manufac-
turers have lost great opportunities to
advance American business because
of their failure to appreciate the pride
of American newspaper reporters in
their profession" was the declaration
Of Warren B. Bullock of Milwaukee,
when he asked the lumber men to help
themselves by helping the newspaper
reporters to get the news.
"As an average newspaper man
want to tell you that the poorest news
paper reporter feels that when he goes
to interview business man he is the
official representative OF the great
American public, which is entitled to
know the news of the world. BY turn
ing away, often with discourtesy, the
newspaper reporter who seeks news
of the business world, the business
man of the country have lost great OPP
portunities, and instead of making
friends they have often made enemies
lHtTt are lWO ways III Which TITS
condition can be remedied rather Is
being remedied. One Is by a more lib
eral attitude of the business man to
ward the reporter. the other is by ad
vertising.
Long years Of refusal OF business
men to give the news TO newspaper re
porters have built up an attitude often
antagonstic, on the part of the news
paper reporters toward the men OF
business. This habit of years of thini
f, ing cannot be overcome in day. fo'

indicated by the use of such terms al

toward the newspaper reporter. Yo
