AMERICAN THOUGHT AND CHARACTER

Mr. Laurence Housnan contributed to the New
York Times Of May q last q delightful summary of
his recent impressions of the United States, in the
course of which he said:-
81 must say frankly that during my stay in
America thing have happened which could not han
pen in my own country, except during a state of
war; things which, with our moderate love of liberty
as understand it (for ourse'ves), we Britishers
would not have tolerated And the reason seems to
be that, just at present, regards liberty, Ameri
cans are hypnotized inlagsts-they worship Liberty
as a statue supported by statute written $50
years ago), or statute supported by statue q
am not quite sure whch), and not as a principle
ngrained in human nature in the heart of great
nation 50 ingraned that given liberty, all it's in
situtions safe ;. But there is in America some
thing going on-mainly perhaps among American
YOUTH amazingly different from anything one
find away East-a sort of eager courageous idealism
that is anxious to try out new ways, recommended
thereto by the very fact that they are new; very
naive, very voluble and tremendously in earnest
not afraid to make mistakes not ashamed to admit
sometimes that it has made then-filled with an
ahounding good will even toward those who think
differently. Of all the things have come across in
America that to me is the most hundredp percent.
Characteristic and the most worth having"

EFFIE LENA McGRAW,

Richmond, July 19.-(Special)-On November 26, 1918, God gave to MT. and Mrs. w, F. McGraw, Jr. beauti- ful baby girl, christened Fife Lena McGraw. She was of a sweet, happy, disposition and soon won her way into the hearts of every one with whom she came in contact o, how we loved her, and how hard to let her go. Yet illness came to this dear little girl and although parents, friends and physic- ians gave her the best skill and at tention. Although love fought for the little life, and though our hearts were breakinug, we had to give her back to the wonderful God, who gave her July IA, 1920 She was sick only two weeks but o, how she suffered, Now, she is beyond all pain, what cheering that to loved ones to know that the dear little one is now safe in the arms of Jesus, where pain and death can never come.
 Fife Lena was buried on July 18th at g a. m. in the family plot in Rich mond cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev, Rowland of Horatio, former pastor at the family residence and quite a number of relatives and friends of Mir and Mrs. McGraw, came from Ashdown to attend the burial. The floral offerings were beautiful, but not more so than the little form in the little white casket,
 Little Fife Lena leaves only one siser, Nanette besides her parents and other relatives, besides a host of trends.
 To the sorrowing parents and rela- tives, we extend our deepest heart felt sympathy. How much richer their lives have been because of this dear little life which was lent for so short time And how much we must look for comfort. He only can help,

MINERS REFUSE TO
 RETURN TO WORK
Operators to Complain tG Union Against Unauthorized Spadra
 Strike.

Fort Smith. July 18.-Efforts to end inc "vacation" of several hundred coal miners employed in the Spadra field was unsucces sful today, and coal oper- ators announced they woud appeal to the international organization of the miners to end the strike. At con- ference of representation of both sides the operators asked district officials to order the men to return to work, promising to investigate their com plaint when the men went back One district official agreed to order the men to return on condition that the opera tors would immediately reinstate for mer prices for supplies. This the op- orators declined to do, according to of- 6cials of the mine workers.
 The "vacation'' has been in prog ress for 10 days and miners say it is due to the operators charging excess sive prices for supplies that were not covered in the recent bituminous coal investigation bv President Wilson's commission, and thev say the prices are to be regulated by an agreement made by the operators in 1917 when similar grievance caused strike in the field At that time the joint board of miners and operators refus- ed to decide the case on the ground that the board had no jurisdiction It was referred back to tha local unions for settlement, and an agreement was reached This agreement tho miners say. has been recently violated by the operators increasing their nrices for with the result tbat the min- CTS went on vacation"

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
THOROUGH SkIMMING NECESSARY
 IN MAKING GOOR SYRUP.

The quicker the syrup is cooked the brighter the syrup. Every time you cool your evaporator it darkens the syrup.
 AS good juice strainer as you can find is crabgrass packed in the bottom of the barrel; use burlap sack over the barrel. The barrel should be enptied at least once a day.
 But the most important idea Is to skim your juice thoroughly, When ready to drain from pan, have good strainer I use a flour sitter.
 As last idea I planted three-fourths of an acre the 27th of last June. In October. I made 1S9 gallons and lost some can on account of tho extreme y wc. fall. I sold it easily at $1.o0.
