One of the great industries in Door
county is the growing Of cherries.
The trees are small but acres and
acres of them cover the county. In
1917 about $4,000 was paid to the
pickers a person told us. Y. NJ. c. A
boys, Boy Scouts, school teachers and
others go to the orchards for the sum

Sturgeon Bay is the capital Of Door
county. Door county is shaped like
ones index finger and the state trunk
lines skirts the outside of the long
peninsula. The county is a big bluff
of limestone and the bed rock is but
a few inches below the surface in
many places Sometimes bold faces
command the lake or bay. The coun-
ty received it's name from a passage
of water at the end of the peninsula,
the passage being commonly called
deaths door, from the number OF
shipwrecks that have occurred there.

About the rottenest lot of po- litical slop that has ever been drawn into a gubernatorial cam paign in Arkansas, Is now being dished out by the present incum. bent, who has spent a great deal of the peoples time away from his office and out of the state making speeches for his own ag- grandizement when he should have been attending the duties for which he was elected. No man fit for public office, will drag the domestic difficulties of his opponent Into the campaign. The man who stoops to low, base and interruptions methods to get an office will no doubt do the people worse if elected.

Couets of Record Free From Debt

County Treasurer Brown re- ports that the county indebted ness for Courts of Record will be paid when the collector makes his final settlement. That credit is due Judge T. 0. Trimble for re ducing, as he has, the expense of the Courts of Record of Arr kansas county. When the judge came into office tbe expenses of the Circuit Courts were very large. By his judicious manage mept he has reduced these ex- penses, thus doing the tax pay CTS great service. Jurors and State witne sses do not have to sell their scrip at sixty-five cents on the dollar any longer. De Witt Enterprise, Adv.

Red Cross Meeting

There was rousing Red Cross meeting opening the great weeks drive for Carlisle and vii cinity held at the High School auditorium Monday night when $28O5 % was subscribed to the fund.
 The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Moore, of Eng land, who was on the speaking program, but who asked to get off and was granted permission to do so.
 The other speakers were Mir. Wymann of Little Rock. Lien tenant Holt of Eberts field. Judge Gates of Lonoke, and J. E. Hicks of England.
 These gentlemen all made very enthusiastic patriotic talks. after which subscriptions were asked for and the above amount was. readily and quickly subscribed.
 There would have been many dollars more subscribed had it not been for the lights going out and putting quietuy on the meeting.
 Music for the occasion was furnished by the Eberts Field band which was greatly enjoyed by the audience.
 Mrs. J. w. Hutson and B. D. Muzzy rendered solos that were very highly appreciated by those in attendance.
 There have been many sub- scriptions since the meeting and will be many more by the end of the week all of which will be pub. lished next week giving the name and amount of each subscriber.

To the Voters of the 17th Judicial Dis
 trict

l My attention has just been
 called to circular being handed out by my opponent in this dis trict in which he makes certain charges against me. 1 regret
 MT. Clark makes such charges at this late date as he kLows it will
 oe impossible for me to reach all the voters of the District. He states that one of the reasons that I should not be elected Judge is because of the fact that spe cial Judges have been called up on to perform the duties of a Circuit Judge to the amount of $38O.O0, thus taxing you with two Judges instead of one.
 UndeE-the laws of our State a Circuit is disq ualified in all cases in which he is interested and at the time 1 was elected Circuit Judge in your district was ac- lively engaged in the practice of law as is my opponent and there fore. all the cases 1 was employ ed in naturally had to be passed upon by a special Judge.
 Should you elect Mir. Clark the taxpayers again would have to pay the salary of special judge because of the fact that Robins & Clark have a number of cases now pending in court and will continue to acquire cases and certainly you do not think MT. Clark could be Judge of these partnership cases. Therefore,
 by re electing me you save the
 tax payers this extra expense. MT. Clark also attacks me for
 holding so little court since Jan.
 uary 1st. The terms of court ] since that date have not been con tinued for my convenience but
 for the convenience of the people
 of your different countless espec
 ially the farmers. and Mr. Clark
 was one of the parties in Faulk
 ner county recommending ad- journment of court. No great in convenience has been suffered
 as I have seen that the jails have
 been cleaned out in the respect 1 i've counties before the adjourn
 ment of the court.
 | I emphatically deny the fact
 that I have been reversed oftenel than any other Circuit Judge ir
 the District, but to the contrary
 state that 1 have had fewer re
 v.rsals than any other judge ol the district for the same length
 of time and the Supreme Court
 records will bear out this state ment.
 Mir. Clark sees fit to criticise
 my son in assisting me ia my
 campaign. For this 1 have nc
 apology to make.

The Church Authorities Active in D,
Tense of Malicious Assaults.

London, Dec. 29.-Cardinal Merry
del Val is in London, and one of his
first acts after his arrival was to
wiring an unwilling apology from the
London "Globe," an evening paper
which published an article last Oc-
tober under the title of "A Mysterious
Cardinal" alleging that the late Papal
Secretary of State was here on a po-
litical mission, secret and inimical to
Allied interests. The "Globe" had to
apologize because the Cardinal, with
the charming courtesy of the trained
diplomat, told it that he was greatly
surprised and incensed at the falsities
published, and that, if they did not
apologize, the editor could not lay
claim to being either an Englishman
or gentleman, for he would prove he
had no sense of fair play. So the
"Globe" has had to eat humble pie.
The Morning Post" is savagely
munching the same edible in a corner
where it hopes not to be observed. So
far it has not apologized for its false
hoods regarding the part played by
the Vatican in the recent Italian trou-
bles, but it has received the lie direct
from Cardinal Gasparri, and that lie
has been confirmed by Cardinal
Bourne. Both Cardinals have chal-
lenged the paper to produce proofs of
its allegations against the Vatican and
the Italian clergy, and it has remained
silent. Cardinal Gasparri defies it to
name one Italian priest who has said
that Pope-King can conclude better
peace terms than the King of Italy,
and it has not done. 30.

Last weeks sittings of the Irish
convention marked the beginning of
the end, which cannot be long delayed.
There was room for acute difference
as to details in establishing the con-
vention. The government did not
make unanimity a condition of action.
What was asked was that there
should be substantial agreement.
Good judges doubt whether govern
ment containing Sir Edward Carson
can possibly agree to include protest
ing northeast Ulster in any home rule,
and the opposition in the rest of Ire
land to any partition is undated.
Hitherto the deliberations of the
convention have not been reflected in
newspaper comments, these being for
hidden. The Independent, the most
widely circulated Irish paper, declared
that fiscal autonomy was indispens-
able to any acceptance of home rule,
while the Cork Examiner, the leading
nationalist paper in the south, be-
lieves that in finance the primary
consideration is to leave ireland
solvent with the power of so regu-
lating expenditure as to provide a
wide margin for international develop
ment and for the remission of unfair
taxation. The real point, it says, is to
get national parliament into being
and to leave to Ireland of the future
such extensions of it's liberties as ex-
perience may prove to be necessary.
There is no doubt, however, that the
claim to full fiscal autonomy is very
popular. This was true of the bill of
1886 accepted by Parnell, of the bill
of 1893, and of the act now on the
statute books.
Horace Plunkett continues optimis-
tic. He believes that even at the
worst the work of the convention can
not have been in vain. 1t will have
altered the whole outlook and if it
fails it will provide the government,
which handles the question, with H.
Eliminating facts brought out through
| the conventions labors. The person
ally friendly feeling among the dele
gates has been maintained. Men who
were never expected to meet have
done so not merely inside the con-
vention but at social gatherings, the
latest of which was arranged by Lord
Granard and his beautiful American
wife, who, before her marriage, was
Miss Beatrice Mills of New York,
daughter of Ogden Mills. Lord Ora
nard, who may be the next viceroy of
Ireland, gave an evening party to the
delegates at Ely House, where Lord
and Lady Aberdeen did much val.
liable social work. The gathering
was remarkable for it's blending of
| widely different elements of Irish life.

London, Jan. 16.-Several morning

week. Among the reports is one that
today's session perhaps will be the
fateful meeting which is to decide
whether the convention has been a
success or failure.
