Mexico Has Her Own
Congre sional Woman

MEXICO CITY. May with the meet
ing of the congress of Mexico today, the
congress of the United States loses the

BARACA CLASS.

"It was Jesus who made him whole" (Jno. 5:15.)
 The true spirit was shown in the class Sunday by the inspiring words from visitors. Such makes us feel that our little efforts are not in vain. We more than welcome vis- itors with us. Come, we need each others help.
 It is needless to say that the les son was enjoyed by all. Some little discussion was given to the Pool of Bethesda, but the significant fact was the use of the Sabbath day.
 The Pharisees were very strict in keeping the letter of the law, but did not, as is often true today, translate the true spirit of the law. Jesus busiest day was the Sabbath. All service is lawful which is help ing the other fellow who is down and out" The question is, are we doing what we can on the Sabbath |? Correspondent.

He has put in four weeks of hard work in snow and sleet, the worst weather of the winter, in re- pairing the lines of the Conway Telephone Company, which were so badly damaged by the sleet.

WOULD BE WISE SELECTION.

President J. H. Reynolds of Hen- dirk College is mentioned as del egate from Faulkner county to the constitutional convention. Faulkner county could make no wiser selection. And there is another prominent edu- cator, formerly at the head of this great educational institution, whom we should like to see as a delegate from Pulaski county to the conven- tion. We refer to Dr. A. c. Millar, now editor of the Arkansas Metho- dist. Quiet. unassuming, he would render most valuable aid in the fram- ing of a new constitution.-Russell- vile Courier Democrat.

safety. These dirigibles are to be sc
constructed that the maximum speed
Of as miles per hour is attainable at
an altitude Of 600 feet, and this speed
may be maintained for 10 hours. They
can also endure 16 hours of flying at
the cruising speed Of 35 miles per
hour, which permits a range of $50
miles.
In spite Of all these accomplish
ments, n Of these air giants weighs
but 5,275 pounds, and this includes
even the weight of the pilot and OBJ
server and their equipment. The to-
tai weight Of ballast is only COL
pounds, 800 being water and 2ll
pounds of sand. This total weight Of
5,275 pounds is divided by the gov
eminent engineers into two classes,
known as penalty weight and use
full load The first mentioned covers
only the dirigible and its mechanical
equipment, which is specified at 1894
pounds. The useful load includes the
pilot and observer, their instruments,
radio, fuel, oil, and water, together
with the sand and water ballast and
the maximum weight Of this set at
l,s4l pounds.
Some idea of the wonderful develop
ment Of power plants for dirigibles
is gained from the fact that only56s
pounds is allowed for the combined
weight of the engine, mufflers, radia-
tor, water, propeller, and hub. In the
early stages of gasoline engine man.
ufacture, the old cylinder moter alone
nearly approached this weight.
The car used in these dirigibles will
greatly resemble that of the ordinary
a%eroplane, except that it is so con-
structed that for strategic or other
reasons the pilot may light upon a
body of water. This is made possible
by attaching skids of ash, to which
are securely fastened large waterproof
cylinders Of fabric stuffed with kapok
fiber, which afford the requisite buoy
ancy. Ample room is provided in the
car for the pilot and observer, as we'll
as the compact power plant and both
compartments are wei! protected from
the weather. The weight of the car
less its equipment will be 436 pounds.
Both Of these dirigibles, for which
the Goodrich Company is under con-
tract with the government, will be
built complete in the Akron factories,
SO that when they reach their destina-
ton they will be ready for immediate
trial flights.

WARNING TO
WHISKEY DRINKERS

The following editorial written by
the daughter Of a man who drank too
much and got into trouble, needs no
comment and we publish it for what
it may be worth to others:
my father lived in Pike and Mont
gomery counties, Ark, 80 years. He
made whiskey until | was about ten
years old, although he taught me right
from wrorr. am now % years old.
] have lived in New Mexico about
three years; ! have seen more trouble
in these three years than all the twen-
ty years in Arkansas.
My father was enticed into a sa.
loon where he became drunk, he wa
arrested and when on his way to Tu-
cumcari with mis- hands tied, had sew
eral gashes cut on his head and put
in Jail. 1t was told that my fathe, had
killed two men back in Arkansas. You
can ask the officers in Pike and Mont
gomery counties and II will show that
ae was put in Jail, and I pray
that the people in this state will stop
the sale Of whiskey. My father drinks
whiskey and drank until ! was 10 yrs
old and has gotten drunk some few
times since, so you see a man running
a saloon will ruin a man at last when
they keep the bait. A mar that has
formed the drink habit will drink IL
he is tempted at the right time. Stop
the bait and he will stop drinking.
Do away with the cause and you will
cure the patient. | pray that every
citizen Of this state will vote d prohi-
bition ticket, and IL it was left TO the
wives and daughters it would go dry
and the morals of this state would i'm
prove as other prohibition states are
doing. Pearlie Lacefeld.
