 In Louisville, where MT. Smith made his home he was known by sight, at least, to almost every resi- dent of the city. He was known for his kindness, and was held in high esteem by the employees of the road, none of whom, it is said, was ever refused a loan and his personal aid in a time of distress. In contrast with this kindly spirit toward the men under him was the determina- tion with which he fought every eff fort of the roads employees to force him to deal with them as an organ ized badly.
 Reticent to the extreme about him. self and his own affairs, many of his intimate friends knew little of his personal history, and, it is said, the only interview any newspaper man ever obtained from him was T have nothing to say"

CALIFORNIA LAVA BEDS
 SHOWING ACTIVITY

KLAMATH FALLS, Feb. 23 (by Associated Press). Recent queer oc- currences reported in the lava bed region in the northern part of Modoc country, California, have caused some inhabitants to fear that some long dormant volcano is about to break forth. The family of W. P. Hery- ford, 1t is reported, was awakened re- gently before midnight by queer rumbling noises. On rising and look ing out, they said, they saw flames in the hills across the lake from their dwelling. The flames at inter- vals shot high into the air, the in- crease in volume accompanied by the rumbling sounds.
 Other persons have reported simi- lar sights and occurrences, but owing to the remoteness of the district, au- thentic information is difficult to obtain. The lava fields are north of Mount Lassen and northeast of Mt. Shasta.

 Such story talks true diversified ton in agriculture. It is suggested that each thoughtful reader go over the list of products shipped from this  Tennessee town--produced doubtless from the country immediately adjacent and see if there is any item named that could not well be produced in and shipped from Polk county As mat ter of fact, Polk county ships more of some of the items. but is far short in others.
 And because Polk county has done these things she is far better off than those communities that have not, and 1t is real joy to know that the start in this direction is well made and will lead on. year by year, to great growth and safe. sane prosperity for all our neople.

But This Was Not in Polk County.

"A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow the copy taken by their neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over four dollar stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father. who ran to his as- sistance, and failing to notice barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and running a seven dol lar pair of pants. The old COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got in the cornfeld and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the racket, the mother ran, upset four-gallon churn of rich cream into basket of kittens drowning the whole litter In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone. crawled thru the spilled cream and into the parlor, running a twenty dollar carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up seven set ting hens, and the calves got out and ehewed the tails off four fine shirts. All to save Sl50.

Something New On
 Polk County

Telling of the mineral possibilities
 of the state of Arkansas writer in
 the Fort Smith Southwest American.
 had this to say recently of a section of
 the Mena mining field:
 Every manufacturer using high temperature furnaces, or making fine
 pottery, art ware, and what is com mercially known as table china, as well as porcelain ware, knows the value of what is known as kaolin. So import ant is kaolin in certain lines of manu- fracture that this country has for years imported millions of tons of it from the countries in which standard china ware is made. And yet very few Ar kansas people know that there are practically inexhaustable beds of kao- lin in Western Arkansas, which has been officially declared far superior to any which has ever been imported. Here is the story:
 About ten years ago there came to Fort Smith from the northern mining country a man who was expert in geological formations and with the ins and outs of practical work of searching the earth for it's mineral riches While he was in this city, he was shown specimen of rock which was white and of a chalky texture; somewhat resembling virgin gypsum rock. However on test, instead of disintegrating into white powder at 220 degrees as does gypsum, it was found that a temperature so high as to melt a retort had no appreciable effect upon the specimen. It was pro nounced kaolin.
 sThe expert journeyed down into the hills east of Mena, to a part of the mountainous country which will be on the line of the Missouri Pacific if that road ever opens it's Burden branch into Fort Smith. The expert traced cliff of that white rock along a stream for nearly half mile. The exposed face averaged over thirty feet, and so deep that the stream it. self flowed over rock as white as snow.
 Samples of that rock were sent to eastern manufacturers of the finest chinaware made in this country and also to the government laboratories at Washington. A Toledo, O., manufac- turer at once wrote asking arrange ments for mining and shipping sam pie carload of the kaolin. The govern f ment also reported the samples 95 per 1 cent pure and asked for shipment of quantity.
 ''The expert, however, before going further in the matter, looked up the title records, and finding a hopeless tangle of homestead, mining and tim per claims, was assured that to develop the valuable mineral meant compli cated court fight to clear title--and | he threw up the matter"

No MORE CONSOLIDATED
 ELECTIONS IN ARKANSAS?
House and Senate Almost Unanimous for Measure to Abolish--COst
 Not Considered.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-There are to bc no more consolidated elections in Arkansas. unless future legislatures should reverse the action 0 the 43rd General Assembly. The bill intro duced in the Senate by Senators Rod dv and Bogle and passed by that body with only two votes against it was passed by the House with only one vote in the negative; that was cast by Mir Wells of Carroll county. The bll provides that hereafter the bi- eunial state election shall be held on tho first Tuesday after the first Mon- day in October Those who spoke in favor of the passage of the bill in- eluding Mir Chaney of Woodruff, MT
 Norfleet of St. Francis, Mr. Wood of Lee, Mir. Robbins of Hempstead and Mir BeIote of Hot Spring said they were in favor of it because it would mean white supremacy. There were estimates of the cost of holding an additional election ranging all the way from SiO,500 to SS0 00O. but the proponents of the measure argued that the question of cost should not eater into the proposition at all.

AND THE THIRST REMAINS.
Alcoholic Odors at New Station, and
 Jokers, Started Rumors.

A report that free moonshine was being served at the new Kansas City Southern depot Thursday was strengthened by the unusual odor that pervaded the big waiting room. A number of thirsty ones are said to have made special trips to the sta- tion to investigate the report and when they learned the true facts had to pass the good word along. The waiting room had the real hooch odor all right, but it didn't come from moonshine, but from the liquid used to remove the varnish from the set tees, which are being worked over and given new color. The varnish re- mover, however is not suitable for beverage purposes, unless the drinker wants to join the angel chorus, for it contains in addition to alcohol, dead ly poison.

WAR ON SLOT MACHINES.
Punch Boards and All Games of
 Chance Fall Victim to Prosecutor.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney B. J. Stuart has declared war on slot ma chimes, punch boards and other devices which might be classed as games of chance or hazard. Two arrests were made Thursday morning of local busi- ness men and during the afternoon w. 0. Starr was arrested for permitting a slot machine to be operated. War rants were also issued for two men at Wickes, who are said to have per mitted punch boards in their places of business. The case against Starr was ended by payment of costs, and the Wickes men will be given a hearing later in Justice Smiths court. Friday J. B. Goss was summoned to Justice Smiths court to explain about the sale of slot machine which was stopped by the authorities.
