The Norwegian steamer Stostad, which rammed the Empress of Ireland
in the 81. Lawrence river in May 1915, with n loss of almost 1000 lives, has
met her doom at the hands of a German submarine. The Storstad was flying
the American flag In the Belgian relief service and displayed the regulation
relief signals when sunk, according to dispatches from London. All members
of the crew we're landed, but n died of exposure. The photograph shows
the Storstad as she appeared with her bow crushed in, after ramming the
Empress of Ireland.

Salary of the Congressmen
 Taxed.

Washington, Dec. 5- Repre-
 sentative Oldfield of Arkansas to-day introduced a resolution re- pealing the ambiguous language in the last revenue act, which has been construed by many as
 an exemption of the salaries
 of Congressmen from the pro- vision in the act relating to ex- cess profits taxes. MT. Oldfeld said: Tt has been erroneously said that the new revenue act exempts the salaries of the Rep- resentatiyes and Senators from the income taxes. As matter of fact, we pay a tax amounting to $245 on our salaries. To make clearer the intentions of Con- gress, 1 have offered a resolution to strike out the language which has been misconstrued. I have talked with Chairman Kitchens and other members of the Ways and Means committee and am satisfied the committee will

CT had a hard job to fill the Gov ernors place but they say he more than did it and made by far the most eloquent and alto- gether interesting speech of the kind ever heard in Little Rock. Now there you are. The Arkan- sas farmers are coming into their own as they rightly should.
 James Mordic of Keevil, was in Brinkley Sunday night--at least he started here to visit his good wife who is confined in the new hospital on South Main St. Jim left his home about a mile west of Keevil about 2::30 Sunday

afternoon and walked oyer to the station to take the 4 clock Sunday afternoon Cotton Belt to Brinkley. This train didn't get to Brinkley until about 5 o'clock Monday morning and Jim realiz- ed the real disadvantage of not having the proposed rock road from Allendale into Brinkley. In other words for this single eX- perien ce alone Jim would gladly have paid all the taxes he would be required to pay on the pro- posed road.
 As noticed the farmers com ing into Brinkley to shop during the cold snap drive their horses out and hitch them in the open weather, and not a sign of pro- tection against the terrible weather, l was struck with the neglect of Brinkley merchants to provide wagon lots and hitching places for the farmers. Our merchants owe it to themselves to attend to this and it would be a nice New Year appreciation for the farmers.

Among the Farmers

The Little Rock newspaper writers take a half column or more of their space last week to tell of the surprise and astonish- ment of a Little Rock audience as they were swept off of their feet by the eloquence of a North Arkansas farmer who had been invited down to deliver the ad- dress of honor at one of their many big gatherings. It seems that Gov. Brough had delivered the address in previous years and naturally enough the farm

Power Exerted by Growing Squash.

A writer recalls an experiment once made at Amherst agricultural college. in which a young squash was placed under steel harness and in wooden cradle in such a manner that Its ex- pansire force as 1t grew was exerted against lever on which weights were carried. After about two months me- chanical energy of more than two tons was registered and when the harness burst under the strain a week later a weight of two and a half tons was raised and could have been carried if the squash had been properly SUD- ported.

DOING THEIR DUTY
Scores of Brinkley Readers are Learning the Duty

To filter the blood is the kid neys' duty.
 When they fail to do this the kidneys are weak.
 Bachache and other kidney ills may follow.
 Help the kidneys do their work.
 Use Doanis Kidney Pills = the tested kidney remedy.
 Proof of their worth in the following3
 A. B. Phipps, carpenter, w. Arch St., Searey, Ark, says: T had good results from Doan's Kidney Pills and so did an other of my family. My back was giving me quite a bit of pain and on using one box of Doan's Kidney Pills 1 got fine relief. have had no sign of kidney trouble slnce."

The Japanese do not sleep on Flu. ropean beds, but on many thick, soft puffs piled one on top of each other upon the floor. For bed covering they use more of the same kinds of puffs It is said that the Japanese emperor has 20 such puffs. One of those which cover him is made in the shape of kimono and has a velvet collar. Prob ably he creeps inside of this, if he feels cold in the night.
