Luke McLuke Says

Mother can tell you that when il comes to hating to go to bed early and hating to get up early, father hasn't anything on the children.
 They tell us that 5,O00,000 women want to vote in this country. Yes, and when they get the right to vote, there won't be 800 of them.
 When a girl has a bow-legged ia ther and two bow-legged brothers. it isn't hard to guess why she wears ankle-length skirts.
 There are a lot of reasons why a well-built girl should keep her chest covered in winter. But, to save her soul, she cant think of one of them.
 Some men are such baseball bugs that even in winter they stand on the street corners watching the in curves and outcurves as they float by.
 If a thin girl works for a living. she is skinny. But if thin girl is in
 society, she is delicate. We do not know much. But we do know that no uan is going to for give the enemy he knows he can whip.
 The statisticians try to tell us , that there are only 50,000 idiots in Twenty-Five years ago we got pop eyed when we saw a girl wearing a waist that was composed of a lot of | little peek-a-bo0s. But that was be- | fore we saw the modern waist that is composed of one large peelz-aboO We are not half as much worried about the lost art of conversation as we are over tho decadence of the i fine art of keeping still Beer is a good deal like kisses.

Exterminate the Wolf
(DaWSOn NeWS)

Yukon is suffering in a peculiar way from the ~avages of the ancient forest maurader, the wolf. This beast has infested certain portions of this Ter rtory for years but of late has become particularly destructive
 Certain other animals which the wolf has sub sisted not numerous they once were, and the wolf hangs closely to the caribou and the moose herds.
 While big game hunters and others in the distant portion of the continent would restrict the killing and caribou for the of the pros pector, the miner and the other settlers of this gon they forget ignorant of the fact that the greatest destructive agent is not the legitimate hunt ,r, but the wolf. bunch of wolves, reported ill an interview in the News yesterday will destroy in winter far big game than will be re- quired to feed all the city of Dawson one winter.
 The moose and the caribou invaluable to the people of Yukon. They the chief source of meat 10 whites and sndianI. If the country were forced to depend imported meats at present high prices the handicap would be such many would have to do without meat
 Alberta and Alaska giving large bounties for scalps of wolves. These regions trying the eX- terminate these outlaws Yukon should offer smi- lar record, and stiff for the scalp of every wolf slain within the Territory. If the Territorial government cannot do it, the matter should be passed on to the Federal government. Yukon will be a refuge breeding place for the wolf if all other territories exterminate him.
 It would be well for the special commission which is sitting in Ottawa to consider scheme to enlarge the animal production of the Arctic and the subArctic to devote little attention to the wolf and of his eXterminaton. A few dollars pended in this good will yield ample returns.

Fairbanks Citizen)


 The renomnation of Judge Charles E. Bunnell Judge of this division occasions surprise to the judges friends here and in other places where the for the fight made against his appointment were fully known and understood. It has been be- lieved all the time that the fight would fail President Wilson would withdraw his support from MT. Bunnell whose work the Federal bench III both this division and others where he has been called to serve has been highly satisfactory.
 Judge Bunnell's tenure of office has been marked by fairness and impartality that would be and generally Is characteristic of all judicial officers in both State and Federal courts Only few rabid partisans have ever questioned his qualifications for the job and none have doubted his uprighteness The fight against his confirmation made from political spite and for political ends. It is expected and certainly it is the wish of big majority of people Of this division. that the Senate confirm the Presidents nomination of Judge Bunnell at the ear Hest possible time.

HOLD LITTLE HOPE
 FOR R. H. WEfMS

His physicians today had practical ly abandoned hope for the recovery of Rupert H, Weems assistant cash fer of the Faulkner County Bank, whose condition has been growing worse for four days, becoming very critical yesterday. Dr. W. F. Smith of Little Rock, who performed an operation for appendicitis upon Mr Wheems last Sunday, was called to see him again last night, but was un- able to suggest anything more than was being done by local physicians for his relief. Mr. Weems is at the Hendrix College hospital.
 According to reports from his bed side early this afternoon he was still conscious, and, although he had been made aware of the gravity of his condition, was bravely contending that he would yet recover.

COOPERATORS SELL
 HOCS|N OKLAHOMA

Faulkner's carload of hogs, shipped May on the cooperative marketing plan, was sold at Oklahoma City as embargoes here in effect at that time on freight to the north and east. Re turns from the carload were received by County Agent T. M Williams today. It brought d net price of Sl,255.S5. At the time the 9l hogs were marketed, all livestock quotations were low. and the freight embargo forced the co operators to sell at Oklahoma City. which is at all times lower than St. Louis or Kansas City. As result, the showing made is not so good as the remarkable sales made by Agent Villains of the carload marketed prior to May l.
 The following shipped hogs in the car: J. E.. Nichols and H. Robinson, Wooster; D, D. Johnson, Conway, Rt L; G. $. Bradke, W. NJ. Heffing- tion and F. F. Ross, Enola; E. O.
