Cheating Cheaters' is a clean com
edy with plenty Of real thrills and
that elusive bit Of mystery which
bids the interest from the very be-
ming until the drop Of the final
curtain. A pretty love story lends an

old story that 'love conquers all In
this instance it reforms a crook and
softens the heart OF the hard heart
ed detective whose ingenuity is re-
sponsblo for the capture Of the two
bands Of 'Cheaters' to such an extent
that all are released with a chance
10 work, although that particular
chance was a rfle hard for all.
There were some disappointing ia
lures OF the presentation in that it was
often impossible to hear distinctly, and
some clever points were missed. 1t is
the same old complaint that is heari
every time Convention Han is usel

IN overcoming woman's S Ills is because it
contains the tonic, strengthening pro-
perties of good cid fashioned roots and
herbs, which act on the female organ

WORK OF EXPLANATION INvES- TIGATED BY FRENCH OFFICE AIS.

Paris, April 23.-Objections of the people of Brest to the exhumation and shipment to the United States of the bodies of American seamen and ma rines who died there during the war has led members of the Chamber of Deputies to make investigation as to the conditions under which the work is being done. Paul Simon member of the chamber for Brest. said yester- day he might interpellate the govern ment on the subject if he found hy- gienic conditions at Brest were dan gerous, but laid emphasis on the fact that such action would not imply any criticism of the United States.
 Working parties at Brest have been halted several times by cablegrams from the American War Department stating relatives of dead seamen had changed hteir minds and now pre- ferred their bodies should remain in France, it is learned in American source here.

PRESCOTT MAKES
 GOOD SHOWING
AT SOUTHWEST ARK ANSAS LIT
 ERARY AND ATHLETIC MEET
 HELD AT HOPE YESTERDAY MABLE BURNS AWARDED CUP

Although Prescott ehools were not represented in all the departments at the Southwest Arkansas Literary and Athletic meet held at Hope yesterday our representatives came out of the fray with splendid showing con- sidering the fact that fourteen other schools were after our goat. We had only few contestants in the ath- letic and track events, therefore our honors were limited.
 Little Miss Mable Burns, represent ing this school was awarded person al medal in the junior reading and the Prescott schools won the loving cup through the exceptionally fine reading rendered by Miss Burns, the judges awarding her first place in the event.
 Conrad White was awarded second place in the Senior Defamation over his competitors and was given sil- yer medal. And Horace Duke won third place in composition. Miss Louise Greeson won fourth place in the senior reading contest and in voice Miss Nancy Wilson took fourth place. Superintendent c. M. Hirst of this city presided over the literary and music section.
 Prescott satisfied with the show ing made by our contestants and con- sidering the strong opposition sent from other schools, our representatives did mighty well, but one of our re- grets is that we were unable to send winners there for each event. We want to publicly commend those who did try from here and assure them that the people of the city fully ap- preciate their efforts and the showing they made.

an account of the trip, relating how the highway was finally definitely de- cided upon from Philadelphia to Tex arkana via Prescott and Nevada coun- ty, which was mainly brought about through the unti-ing efforts of Gov. Chas. H. Brough, who stood unflinch- ingly for this route at all times. A branch of the route vii go through Oklahoma. As show of appreciation for splendid work done by Arkansas chief executive in interest of good roads in the state, the counties on the Bankhead route, made up a cash purse of $750 which together with $500 do- mated by the Oklahoma delegation was presented to Gov. Trough. Of this amount Nevada county has the dis tinction, MT. Davis said, of leading the counties in amounts contributed, this county donating $1O5, MT. Davis giving his personal check for the amount. President A. s. Buchanan of the club appointed a committee of three to solicit donations enough to raise $100 with which to reimburse Mir. Davis. Hon. T. c. McRae who was at the Springs at the time, gave MT. Davis check for $500 to go in the fund.
 w. V. Tompkin made pointed talk on the cause of the delay in building the section of the Bankhead through Nevada County, which incidently has already begun, but is being delayed for certain reasons. Secretary Hamby also explained some unknown reasons for the delay on the Whites Ferry road. These gentlemen's talks were timely, for reason of the fact that few members of the club realized the true

 A resolution was adopted by the club to the effect that the organiza- ton was in no way connected with any political party or with any of the This resolution was the result of certain reports which have gotten out accusing the club of back ing political candidates. The organi- zation branded it as false and it went on record as per the aboved named resolution.
 About 30 members and three visit ors were present at the meeting.

When the democratic national conven.

principle of direct legislation when
ever practicable, it voiced its faith
in real popular government, and af-
