ONLY NEEDS TO BE ROUSED
Under Certain Conditions, Tiger Can
, Probably Be Awakened in Each
Individual.

They tell u.s." said Mr.. Blinksome,
"that we all have tiger in us, that we
are all of us savages under our skin !;
kept from revealing our true natures
only by the restraining force of GUS
tom and the law.
''ln q general way I have always be-
lieved this to be true, and yet I have
always supposed there must be ex-
ceptions. You take, for instance, a
certain mild-mannered neighbor Of
ours whom we have known for many
years, man in all circumstances kind,
gentle, forbearing; seeing good in
everyone and willing to make excuses
for everybody. There was one person
who I knew had no tiger.
"Our mild-mannered neighbor drop
ped in to see us yesterday, just after
I had read something in the paper,
and 1 picked the paper up again and
read this thing to him. It was an
account of something that the Ger
mans had just done.
"It was a circumstantial, careful, ex-
act and apparently truthful statement,
and yet the thing described was some
thing so contrary to all civilized
usages that it seemed incredible, and I
said to him:
"'You don't believe that, do your
AT that our mild,mannered neigh
Dor fred up. Fired up? He famed
up.
"'Believe it?' he said. I believe
every word Of it, and then he pro-
ceeded to tell me what he would do
to the Germans if he could.
Had he a tiger in him? Well!
$50 now I am inclined to think that
we all have a tiger in US, that there
is no exception; only with some Of
us it takes one thing and with some
another thing to make the tiger
waken."

go down IN the order named. Inc
admission money together with mon
ey from the sale of flowers amounted
to about $40 which went to the fund
for the Permanent Blind in this war.
Over 500 has already been raised
here for this fund.
Considerable excitement was pro-
duced Monday morning at . o'clock
when the big barn on the Baker Hol-
stein farm north of the village took
fire from spontaneous combustion in
the hay. Most Of the hay was taken
from the barn by the men who arriv-
ed soon after the alarm. The feed
was all removed and hundreds Of bar
rels of water were taken into the barn
for immediate use. After several
hours work the fire was put under
control and not large loss is re-
ported. There were over 40 autOmo-
biles and about 800 men present from
much of the region round about. E.
A. Baker, the owner, happened to be
at the place and aided greatly in di-
recting the men. David Spier was
so overcome by the smoke and heat
that he fell from exhaustion and had
to be attended by a physician. While
an attempt was being made to draw
a load of the hay away from the barn
before it could be extinguished. It
will require a weeks work to get the
hay and grain back into the barn.

THE STORY
cover the Top" is the one story of
life in the trenches that has touched
every responsive soul in America.
Since the book was published, $50
copies have been sold during every
business hour, every day-or better
than 4 copies a minute. In all, more
than 100000 people have read it.
More than 25,OOO,OOO people have
read Employs articles in the great
newspapers of the country. Many
thousands have been fortunate
enough to crowd their way into the
limited capacity of the great halls
where Empey has lectured.
Now the whole loyal citizenship of
the nation can see the "Fighting Ser
geant" in action, can ego over the
top" with him on the Hun Hunts. The
marvel of motion picture photography
pulsing, breathing pages of "the most
widely read book" of the twentieth
century.
Go cover the Top" with Empey!
Why is cover the Top" the greatest
story of the war? Because it is
written by a man who has been there,
who has suffered seven wounds, been
promoted for bravery and still stirs
the heart of America with his lee
lures and vibrant tales; because it is
chuck full of humor, anecdotes that
bring the smile rather than the tear;
because it has the vigor, dash, and the
indomitable optimism of the true
American thoroughbred. The Vita
graph picture, cover the Top" star
ring Empey, himself, is the climax of
screen art. 1t is the Great American
Photodrama.

NEW SCHOOL.

The handsome new school building
 of the Swifton Special School District
 is nearing completion and will be
 ready for occupancy at the opening
 of the school term. The building is
 seven-room brick, modern in every
 respect, and is located on tract of l four acres of land one block north of
 the Methodist church. A basement
 under the entire building will give the children splendid place for dinner hour n bad weather. The first floor has four standard class rooms with spacious halls and cloak rooms. The second floor has two class rooms and large auditorium with a seating ca pacity of over six hundred. The mod ern conveniences, such as drinking fountains, electric lights and septic tanks, have been installed. Especial ly worthy of mention is the splendid auditorium, with large stage and seating capacity ample for any audi ence that might assemble in Glass township. The outward appearance of the building is all that could be de- sired and will readily attract atten- tion because of the location and style of architecture. At the present time such building could not be erect at an advance of eight thousand dol lars, over the contract price, owing to the additional cost of labor and mate r;als. The people of Swifton have reason to be proud of this building and the children have reason to be grateful for the splendid facilities given them in the effort to extend their educational advantages. The board of directors of the district is composed of the following members:
 Guilford M. Dudley, president; Q. P. Trice, secretary; Ben s. Brann, Ferdinand Tonney and Robert P. Sharp, members.
 James H. Bliss, of Little Rock, was the architect, and J. w. Jenkins, of Little Rock, was the contractor. Judge E. L. Boyce, of Newport, rep resented the district as counsel. The total cost of the building and equip- ment will be approximately S32,000. The population of the district is 1920 and the school census shows 250 chil- dren of school age.

About daybreak Sunday morning a large barn on the farm owned by James A. Martin, of Batesville, To- cated one mile east of Swifton, burn- ed, entailing a loss of nearly three thousand dollars. Hosea Nunnally, who lives on the farm lost six hun dred bushels of corn, three tons of hay, and a number of farming inn plements. One horse was also burn ed. The stock was all driven out of the barn, but this animal rushed back into the fire. MT. Nunnally's loss is nearly two thousand dollars. There is no clew to the origin of the fire MT. Nunnally says, so far as he knows he has no enemies and to his knowledge no one had been around the barn since the evening before the fire.

MOVES TO LITTLE ROCK.

Prof. A. J. Garner, who for several years has been principal of the Swif- ton schools, has moved his family to Little Rock, where they will reside in the future. Prof. Gamers removal is regretted by the people of Swifton as his work in the schools has always been satisfactory and the community loses a good citizen. The standing oS Prof. Garner in this locality was shown in the recent primary when he received IF votes out of a total of 127 in Glass Township for the posi-, tion of county superintendent of schools.

BATTLE AXE.

Two moderate rains last week, to- gether making about what the farm CT calls "cntton season." but noth- ing near what the corn crop needs. The dust is settled and roads improv- ed temporarily, which is a material relief.
 Cotton is in excellent condition as to size and shape and cultivation; of our corn we are not disposed to boast. Some river bottom corn just planted, and being planted, which we trust may have favorable conditions and add to supply in the fall.
 John P. Barnes back from Hot Springs, and complaining of feel ing better" which complaint seems fairly well-founded, as he looks de- cidedly better than when he left home for the healing waters.
 Miss Johnnie Gardner is at Heber DSprings for few days, expecting to return last week with Rev. J. w. JGardner and family, who have been over several weeks trying the virtues of the sulphur, ozone, rest etc.
 Sorry to report that this district is not threatening to Ego over the top" (seemingly nowhere near the ttop) in war-saving loan, not yet having reached the halfway point. There is a pretty general feeling here that the limit is somewhat above the average in proportion to our population and financial strngth.
 Rev. Wilkerson, of the Christian church, visited us Saturday and Sun day, preaching and seeing old friends. He has many friends and admirers around Battle Axe.
 Two new car owners with us Robert Hunter and Charles Harrol- son, making two more boosters for good roads. If one would place him self by the roadside here any pleas
