Local Self-government

John Fiske:-
If the day should ever arrive
(Which God forbid) when the peo-
pie Of the different parts of our
country shall allow their local
affairs to be administered by
projects sent from Washington,
and when the self-government of
the states shall have been SO far
lost as that of the departments
Of France, or even 80 far az that
Of the countries Of England-on
that day the progressive politi-
cnl career of the American people
will have come to an end, and
ths hopes that have been built
upon it for the future happiness
and prosperity Of mankind will
b wrecked forever.

The Great London Shows
Differ From Other Shows

There are many ways in which
the Great London Consolidated
Shows differ from other circuses
and a visit to this monster tented
enterprise when it comes to Bar
bourvillc, March, II, will cause
people who have been complain
ing that all the shows were alike
to qualify this statement by adj
ding excepting the London
Show. y
The union of the two large cir
cuses resembles other tented en-
terprises inasmuch as the per-
Torrance is given under a tent.
When it comes to circus acts
themselves it differs widely from
other institutions which are hereld-
ed as great" shows.
The menagerie is more than
twice as large as that carried by
other circuses. The only man.

ment The only hybrid lion-ti-
ger, with the lions's stripes on
the tigers skin is another rare
feature.

NEW USE FOUND
 FOR CORN tiUSKS
Investigation and Experience Develop Market for Husks to be Utilized as Cigarette Gov ers-Page Makes Statement.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-A new use has been found for corn husks, that should prove an additional source of revenue for thrifty Arkansas farm CTS. Agricultural Commissioner Jno. H. Page, in an interview on the sub- ject, says:
 Recent investigation and experi- ments have developed market for corn husks to be utilized for cigar cite covers, cut into sheets 1 1-2 by B inches. For a great many years the corn-husk has geen in rather gen. eral use in the manufacture of home made cigarettes in Mexico and to a limited extent among cigarette smok- CTS and tobacco users in the United States; but up until the present time, the corn-husk has not been utilized extensively in manufacturing way.
 q am in communication with large tobacco company and cigarette factory that is willing to undertake the use of corn husks for wrappers in the manufacture of cigarettes, if the product can be supplied of proper quality and sufficient quantity to justify. There should be no difficulty in the manufacture of cigarette wrap pers from the corn husks in great quantities at nominal cost. Only the inner husks which are thinner and more pliable are suitable.
 "This innovation offers a good mar ket for what is now practically waste product on the farm, and in addition offers splendid manufac- turing opportunity for some enter prising man or firm. This should commend itself to the boards of com merce and business mems leagues of the different cities and towns"

IN MEMORIAL.
ED HOOD

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
 and Brethren of Prescott Lodge
 No. 80, Free and Accepted Ma
 sons:
 Since our last communication Bro ther Edward Hood, in his sixty-sixth year, finished his work and passed quietly from among us. His familiar presence will not be noted at our meetings and he will answer to our roll call no more. When the painful fact of his death became known, we, your committee on memorials, were requested to prepare resolutions eX- pressive of the sentiments of this lodge.
 On February 1916, late in the af- ternoon, the final summons came to Brother Edward Hood, at his home near Emmet, and he yielded up his spirit to his Maker, full of years and full of honors, after a long life of useful endeavor, with a reputation for honor, both as man and a Mason. Brother Hood never married but rather chose to live with and sup port his widowed mother, his father having died when Brother Hood was quite young.
 Outside of the irreparable loss which his taking away has caused his family, neighbors and members of this fraternity, his county and state will mourn his loss, as that of one who, in modest and retiring ways, won high place in the ranks of his fellowmen.
 Since this is true, and since in HIS inscrutable wisdom an Almighty Power has thus called from our midst this distinguished citizen, brother and Mason,
 THEREFORE,. Be it Resolved. that the members of Prescott Lodge No. 80. Free and Accepted Masons, that in the death of Edward Hood the county and state have lost one of their foremost citizens, and this lodge one of it's most zealous mem- bers-one whose absence from our midst will be most profoundly felt with the passage of years:
 RESOLVED Further, that in the death of this able citizen and brother, we recognize and acknowledge the creation of vacancy which cannot be easily filled; that though he has ap- parently forever absented himself from our midst, his memory will ever be with us.
 And ever near us, though unseen
 His immortal footsteps tread;
 For all this boundless universe
 Is life; there is no dead.

IHER BLACKL|ST|NG
Says Conditions Compel Her
to Use All Legitimate Means
To Conquer

Washington, Nov. l5.-The subject of
bomb plots and similar breaches of
neutrality having practically been bur
led for several months, state depart
ment officials today were giving con-
siderable thought to the Importance
attached to such outrages in the Brit
ish reply to the American protest a.
gainst England's S blacklist made public
today. There having been no recent out
breaks of any consequence by enemies
of the allies in this country, the Brit
ish purpose in laying stress on the sub
ject has proved puzzling.
A sharp rejoinder is not unlikely,
some officials believe.
Aside from the assertions regarding
this alleged failure of the United States
government to suppress such activities,
the British noe is largely a reiteration
of the British contention that the black
list policy, being directed entirely 10
the governing Of the trading opera tions
OF British subjects, is entirely within
British rights.
Even though the military situation
Of the allies has greatly improved, Wis
count Grey declared "therc is still a
long and bitter struggle in front OF
them and one which, in justice to the
principles for which they are fighting,
imposes upon them the duty of employ
ing every opportunity and measure
which they can legitimately use to over
come their opponents. -

of sugar by the people of England must
