OBITUARY.

Mrs Donnie Emerson, wife of J. W. Emerson of Vilonia, died at her home Saturday, April IT, 1920. Sister Emerson was a woman of whom it could we'll be said, "she was blessed in her deeds," as she lived such life that brought to her the love. admira- tion and respect of all who knew her. Friends are the greatest blessing any one can have, and she numbered them by her acquaintances for all who knew her loved her.
 She was married to Brother Emer- son December p, 1904, and their un- ion was one of bliss, and their home was home in which it was a pleasure to be in. All during her sickness loving hands administered to all her wants, and hundreds of friends gath cred at Cypress Valley cemetery. where her body was laid at rest, and thus. expressed their approval of her good life. She was a woman who was loved by her neighbors, praised by her husband ,and called blessed by her children. Her life will live on and continue to be blessing to all who knew her. J. C. Dawson.

SECONDHAND DEALERS
 HARD HIT BY TIMES
fBy United Presa'

Pittsburgh, April 26.-The second hand furniture buisness is doomed in the opinion of several dealers here The ever-mounting cost of living has caused people to retain their slight ly used goods and the present store stocks are rapidly diminishing.
 Demands are heavy but the supply is discouragingly low. No more does that pretty carpet go on the auction block because the fabric is worn on the side near the door. It's turned around and put under the piano. Some have learned the remarkable transfer nation caused by varnish on a scratch ed table and many, for the first time, are using hammer and nails on that cracked chair.
 The auctioneers are hunting other vacations. Their business is crippled too. Storage houses are packed but rentals are being kept up to date in almost every instance. To avoid high rents many have stored their goods and resorted to furnished rooms. That's where the use for that damag- ed piece of furniture comes in, and that's why used-goods men are wor- rying.

TEACHERS TO PLAY
 L.R. COLLEGE TEAM

The first of two games with Little Rock College will be played today at Little Rock by the Arkansas State Normal team, which left for the capi- tai this morning. The Catholics re- gently lost two games to Ouachita College, with which the Normal holds an even break on two games already played. Their team is strong one, and we'll balanced Coach Estes was sure his charges would be able to handle them.
 So great is the interest aroused the Hendrix-Ouachita series at Arka- delphia that Hendrix fans today com pleted arrangements for reports on the game by half-innings over long dis tance today. The returns will be re- ceived at the college. McDonald's phenomenal pitching yesterday whet- ted the appetite of the Bulldogs for more "Ouachita meat, and the entire student body is pulling for a victory today, which would give the Bulldogs the series, three games to one.

 found much interest on the part of the people, with regard to school building and maintenance. The stu dents also manifested splendid inter- est in their school work. Both teach CTS and patrons of the Damascus pub lice school deserve high praise for the zeal, perseverance and energy they have maintained from the beginning to the end of the term. They com menced the term under very trying difficulties, the district being heavily in debt. They seem to have known no such word as fail.
 That time-honored, energetic school booster, J. M. c. Vaughter, the prin- cipal, called meeting of all citizens of Damascus to devise ways and
 
 fronted them. After they met and discussed the situation in a very can- did manner, many went down into their pockets and subscribed liberally to the teachers wages. The ladies or ganized an s. l.

It is an other proof of what a people may do, if they will A proof also of what cooperation can accomplish.
 The little fellows acquitted them selves in highly commendable man. ner. God bless them. Many of the elder students proved their strong character and energetic work in their studies, and fine training they receiv- ed from their teachers.
 Prof. A. A. Parsons delivered a beautiful address, full of pathos and exhortation to the graduating class. His address was well received and highly appreciated by all who heard him.

INTEREST CONTINUES
 IN BAPTIST REVIVAL

One conversion resulted Monday night at the revival service held at the First Baptist church. The attendance was very large and the interest of men and women was very apparent.
 Rev. E. P. J. Garrott gave a strong talk on the lost condition of men and women, and emphasized the fact that all must seek salvation or be lost. A clean moral life, and business integ- rity of the highest standard. along with great charity, will not help any one to salvation, he said. The Savior has made it plain that only by con version. accepting the bible and Christ's plan of redemption, and then living to evidence the complete change of life, is essential.
 Soloist George Reynolds and his adult and junior choirs furnished an inspiring servise of song.

MINOT MAN CROSSES C0NTl-
NENT IN PLANE, 38 IL HOURS

The following from the Los Angeles
Evening Express of Nov. 8, tells an
interesting story of the across-co CONT
nent fight Of Harry s Myhres, son of
Mrs. Frank Holmes, residing eleven
miles north of Minot. Harry spent
his boyhood days on the farm north
of Minot and attended school in this
city. During the war he enlisted in
the aviation service and was an in
structor in that branch. He is regard
ed as one of the greatest aviators of
the United States. The article fol
lows:
Sunburn on the left side Of the face
is a factor to be reckoned with when
flying at l5,0OO-foot attitudes across
the continent, according to Aviator
H. S. Myhres, who is resting in Los
Angeles today after record-breaking
transcontinental flight Of 361a hours
actual flying time.
Myhres arrived as pilot of the sec
ond Of the huge all-metal monoplanes
consigned here to a local company,
this being his fourth flight from coast
to coast. He accounts for a severe
sunburn on one side Of his face as
being due to continued exposure to
the sun while travelling steadily west
ward
w. Buehle, mechanic, accompanied
Myhres on the trip and Harry Larsen
Of the j. l.. Larsen corporation made
the trip as far as Dallas. Stops were
made, after starting from New York,
at Harrisburg, Dayton, Kokomo, ST.
Louis, Tulsa, Wichita Falls, Dallas, FL
Paso and Tucson. The run from Tue
son to Los Angeles was made in five
hours.
Some comment was occasioned upon
Myhres' arrival by the fact that no
demonstration of any sort was made
by the public, transcontinental flights
now being rated among the ordinary
business of the day.
