POULTRY EXHIBIT
 BY CLUBS OCT. 6-9

Boys and girls farm clubs will also have a poultry exhibit here October 6 to 9, at the same time the general club fair is held, it was stated by Home Agent Miss Ella Posey. The list of prizes offered was unintention- ally left out of the general list pub lished in the Log Cabin Democrat last week. All members of the farm clubs are eligible to enter poultry for the prizes, which will be as follows:
 Best pen, three female and one male bird, any breed: First prize $5, sec ond $3. Best pair, one male and one female: First $3, second $150. Best bullet: First $1, second 50 cents. Best cockerel: First $1, second 50 cents. Best pure White Rocks: One cockerel offered by Y. G. Craig. Best dozen eggs; First $1, second 50 cents.
 Miss Posey gives the club members the following instructions in regard to the preparation of fowls for exhibi- tion:
 Study closely the points of merit and decide the best formed and best color. Examine for under color as we'll as surface, serious defects and disqualifcations that would debar the bird from consideration by the judge However, it must be remembered that there are no perfect specimen of any breed
 Poultry selected for exhibits should be separated from thhe general flock several days before the date of the exhibit and given special care and handling. Train them to pose for the best showing and not to be frightened White chickens should be washed It IS hardly ever necessary to wash col ored poultry, provided they have been kept in clean quarters. Each entry should be in separate coop"

ALTERNATING CURRENT IS SUPPLIED MORRILTON Electricity is Alternately of and On Mostly or. According to Con-
 way County Unit.

Conway citizens have been so ac customed to uninterrupted electri, service by the municipal plant tha they probably do not appreciate tho veXatious situation that is prevailing in other towns of the state. Morril ton, Philadelphia, Malvern and other papers reaching the Log Cabin Dem ocrat are continually berating the Ar. kansas Light and Power Company which furnishes electricity at these places for poor service.
 The following from the Conway County Unit is typical of the criticism which it and other papers in towns supplied by this com pany are making and would indicate that their com plaints are well founded:
 The foolish virgins who went to the wedding feast with hno oil in their lamps were no worse than the Nor rilton household who thinks it can "get by" in the shades of the even- ing without lamps, candles or search lights. No, it cant be done.
 Anything is likely to happen on the lightless nights. Orders got crossed in the dark at the restaurant Tuesday night, and my order of steak and eggs went to a baby, and 1 received the consignment of Mellins food-but re- fused to eat it.
 It has gotten so in this town that it takes three consecutive evenings to wade through the pages of the Ar kansas Democrat and the Kansas City Star after supper. About the time the first two paragraphs of an interesting editorial or article are read a boiler bursts at the plant in Russellville, and the situation is plunged into a sea of darkness and profanity.
 What, oh what, will the people do :?
 Just for our own enlightenment, the Unit on Thursday kept a faithful ac- count of the service rendered, which we are giving you in order that you may note the harrassing features at tached. Below is the record from early morn till dewey eve, and Rus sellville is indeed to be congratulated that it is situated nearer the 'home base" and is not compelled to stay so much in the dark.

NEW FREIGHT RATES
SHOULD NOT INCREASE,
RETAIL PRICES

Just what the increased freight
rates which will go into effect hv
the first OF September mean to the
average consumer in the way of
contributing to the cost OF necessary
articles of clothing and standard food
products is shown in some interest
ing Illustrations made by the Freight
Traffic Department of the Southern
Railway System.
, The rate ON shoes from Boston to
Atlanta is now S1.64 per 100 pounds,
making the transportation charge OF
a pair OF shoes which with its share
OF the packing weighs three pounds
approximately five cents. The new
rate will be S2.1SH per 100 pounds,
taking the transportation charge OF
the same pair OF shoes Approximately
6 % cents. Everyone knows that
the pair OF shoes which formerly sold
for $500 is now selling around $500.
Shirts are shipped from New York
to New Orleans by freight for 81. "a
per 100 pounds, making the trans
portation charge on five ounce shirt
about half cent The new rate will
be $2O5K per hundred pounds, max
ing the charge on the same five ounce
shirt about two thirds of one cent.
The old Sl.50 shirt is selling for $500
and up.
Clothing manufactured in Chicago
can now be shipped to Jacksonville
Tor 81 SO per hundred pounds or less
than ii cents for suit which with
its share of the packing weighs six
pounds. The new rate will be 81 1917
per hundred pounds or about Il
cents on the six pound ready-made
which formerly was offered for $50
but now c"~rot be taken home for
less than $50. 'FFw''y
Coming 10 articles OF food, the
rate on fresh beef fror- CHICAGO r.
Birmingham is now 81 cents per
hundred pounds less tnan OF. clnt
per pound The newrate will be
Sl.06H per hundred pounds or slight
ly more than cent a pound Beef
that formerly sold for twenty cents
per pound has been bringing IS cents.
Sugar can now be shipped from
New Orleans to Greensboro. N. c.,
for S. cents per 100 pounds or lust
about half cent per pound. The
new rate will be 90 cents per hundred
pounds, still less than three fourth
OF a cent per pound. And sugar
which formerly sold for five cents
per pound has been selling above
thirty cents per pound.
These illustrations which are of ar
ticles and commodities, taken at ran
dom, may be considered as fairly rep
resentative of the addition to the
transportation of articles used in the
South which will result from the in
crease in rates. Similar illustra-
tons could be made on almost every
article used in the household, except
coal which, being shipped and sold
by the ton, will show a relatively
higher transportation cost in proper
| ton to its value.

" III gill W -cCC " IL LlaL the con-
tract is carried out? What consideration
slderation does he receive? If a wife
o,7es no duty to her husband because
thee husband has violated the contracts
and has even assaulted her life, is it
possible for her to feel toward him any
real thrill of affection? If she does not,
what is there left Of marriage? What
part OF this contract or sacrament re-
mains in living force? She can not
sustain the relation OF wife, because
she abhOrs him; she cannot remain un-
der the same roof, for fear that she
may be killed they sustain, then, on
ly the relations of hunter and hunted
OF tyrant and victim, Is it desirable
tina, this relation should last through
life. and that it should be rendered sacred
by the ceremony of a church?
Again / ask, is it desirable to have
families raised under such circumstances?
Are we in need of children born Of such
parents? Can the virtue of others be
preserved only by this destruction of
happiness, by this perpetual imprison-
ment?
A marriage without love is bad enough,
and a marriage for wealth or position is
low enough; but what shall we say
OF a marriage where the parties
actually abhor each other? Is there
any morality in this? any virtue
in this? Is there. virtue in retaining
the name Of wife. or husband without
the real and true relation? Will any
good man say, will! any good woman de-
clare. that a true, loving woman should
be compelled to be the mother of chill
dren whose father she hates Is there a
good woman in the world who would not
shrink from this herself; and is there a
woman so heartless and so immoral that
she would force another to bear tn t

shriekiDgly shrink
Marriages are made by men and wo-
men; not by society; not by the state; not
by the church; not by supernatural beings.
BY this time we should know that moth

ing is VlrtuOuS the result If which is not
good. We know now. if we know any
thing, that all the reasons for doing
right. and all the reasons against doing
wrong, are here in this world. We should
have imagination enough to put ourselves
in the place of another, Let a man sup
