Fail to Catch Spirit"

He also had fling at the north and
east. declaring that those sections do
not catch the national spirit as do the
rowing peoples of the south and west
The east and north, he declared, have
not yet recovered from the shock and
wonder of why the scepter of empire
has passed from their grasp; he as
serted that they have not yet learned
the lesson that the mastership must be
with those who deserve it.
Deploring the possibility of war. Mr.
Wingo said that the result of war
would change the national aspect so
that the same form of government,
even if the shell of the Constitution re-
manned as its guiding star, would not
ever be reconstructed on the same old
lines. But. despite the cost, if il is
necessary to war to defend national
honor and the security of American
citizenship, he was convinced that
Arkansas would rally behind the Presi-
dent and give its last life and it's last
dollar for the heritage of freedom. He
hoped for peace-an international peace
that would last at least whole gen

Declares for Nationalism.

Representative Tillman said that the
south and west are more alive than the
north and east He even predicted that
the south and west may form an alliance
to teach the other sections of the nation
how to make a nation. He declared that
this sentiment of opposition was more
nationalism than sectionalism.
He spoke of Arkansas as a southern
state. Then he recited verses which de-
scribed the south as a little bit better
than any other part of the earth since
Eden was shut unintenanted.
Then came Representative Wingo Mr.
Wingo was full of peace talk: but if the
worst comes to the worst he was
sure that Arkansas would be the most
loyal supporter of any warlike move that
events might show necessary to the trou-
bled man in the White House. He urged
the conservation of the food supply
through aid to agriculture, citing that
Bismarck had put last military training
in his thought of essentials to Germany's
development, putting first conservation
Of the food supply by fostering agricul-
ture. and then advocating general edu-
cation.

Express Loyalty to Nation.

Pride in the old home state and
loyalty to the nation We're the senti-
ments that animated every one of the
speeches made. Toastmaster Jones, in
starting the ball rolling, saluted the
ladies with the title of fellow citizens;
sorry to see them leveled to the plane
of mere men, but confident that the
vote will be theirs, as they want it.
Representative Goodwin explained
that it was his first after-dinner
speech. At the instigation of the toast
master he explained why he was moved
to seek reelection at the expense of
his prime opponent, Bob Warnock.
saying that he had become acclimated
with some difficulty in Washington and
that his consideration for the wife and
children of his opponent-not consid-
ering Bob Warnock himself-had
made him persistent to keep him home.
As reasonable politician, he declared
that he had no aspiration to stay in
Congress more than thirty-two years.
Then he picked on Arkansans in Wash
ington who have made good. and put
up good Arkansas brag of their
worth and of the ability of any fell
low statesman to make good anywhere
any time, any place.

RESIGNED
As NATRON

Delevan, Wis, Jan. 26.-After thir-
ty years Of service at the State School
for the Deaf, Miss Title Cannon has
resigned as assistant matron, and will
retire. Miss Cannon was employed
fourteen years as Dining room girl,
nurse and held the position of assist
ant matron fortwenty-four years. Hun
dreds of graduates Of this free school,
maintained by the state, recall Miss
Cannon and regret to see her depart.
Miss Cannon may we'll retire at
this time with the feeling that the
best part of her life has been WORTH
Iy SPENT" says the Wisconsin Times,
a monthly magazine prepared by the
pupils Of the deaf school. 'Indeed it
is the richest heritage that could be
left to her girls who are legion and
can be found in every nook and cor
ner Of the state. If any one had a
share in giving these girls an idea of
the practical character Of the life they
should live as girls and future wo-
men, Miss Cannon certainly had. Many
Of them have not yet forgotten how
persistently she insisted on neatness,
order, punctuality, and obedience.
Time has revealed to others still, in
their own offspring what they could
not comprehend in their younger days,
that children need firmly guiding
hand that must not lightly slacken for
childish whims and thus for them the
way to virtue lose.
''To her retirement she takes with
her the best wishes of the entire in
stitution family for her future welfare
and happiness"

SHIPPERS
Highly
PLEASED

The victory won by J. n. TitUe-
more in behalf of the shippers of the
state of Wisconsin over the rail
roads, in the decision of the Rail
road Commission of Wisconsin hand
ed down Saturday, was the occasion
of wide-felt enthusiasm among ship
pers of the state. As result Of the
decision sweeping reductions in part
carload rates have been ordered to
take effect April l on the milwaukee,,
500, Northwestern and Omaha lines
and the state of Wisconsin will have a
chieved for itself what the states of
Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa have ac-
complished by similar escort in the
past. While the present operating
system was an injustice to all cities of
the state with the exception of Mil
waukee, which city gained an advan-
tage thereby, the announcement Sat
urday was nevertheless in the nature
of surprise.

Another thing this company believes
in is specialization. 1t feels that
every company can do something well,
but that no company can do a great
many things well at the same time.
Perhaps it can do them as we'll as
other people, but that idea Of doing
things as we'll as other people has no
place in this business. This company
must do things better than other peo-
pie to be satisfied. 1t feels sure that
it pays to publish just one set of books,
and the fact that that set of books,
called The New Students Reference
Work, has had bigger sale than all
other works of its kind put together,
and is today enjoying even larger
distribution than ever before, proves
that it pays to put your time and en-
ergy into perfecting particular thing
