REMMEL REVENUE COLLECTOR.
G. 0. P. Leader Starts Work in I'm
 pOrtant Place.

Little Rock, July LII. L. Remmel, Arkansas member of the Republican National Committee, began his new duties as collector of internal revenue this morning, succeeding Jack Walk CT. This will be Mir. Remmel's second term as internal revenue collector He held the office from 1897 to 1902.
 The revenue office will be closed today while revenue agents complete the task of checking over the office records. There will be few changes for the present in the personnel of either the field or the office force, Mir. Remmel said. A. B. Smith, chief clerk, who holds office under civil service, is among those who probably will be retained, he said.
 The force comprises about 56 per sons including the men in the field and the office force. Nearly 75 ap. nlications for positions in the service have been received, MT. Remmel said, but it is not probable that any changes will be made within the next six weeks. 4

Chinese Reverence Mechanical Bird
 Instead of Ancient Monster.

Peking, June 90.--China's ancient dragon, feared and worshipped for centuries, has a foreign rival. Tail spread, his wings glistening in the brilliant sunlight, this newcomer floats and scars unmolested above a hun dred scattered villages daily. As he utters his buzzing, rattling cry, Chin csc stream from their huts and hail him with shouts, running pell-mell toward the spot where he prepared to alight. They swarm around him with admiring looks.
 Airplanes, as means of food distri- button, are now being used over a con- siderable section of the eastern fam inc area. These machines carry sev- eral hundred pounds of supplies, usually articles needed in an emerg- ency by relief workers who are in in accessible places. Tho their capacity is limited, the number of trips they can make in day is very large, and as messenger vehicles they are prov ing invaluable in checking up on con- ditions over large areas.

Ono of the chief faults to be found
with kale Is that plant lice are fond
of It, but a few applications of some
nicotine insecticide puts them to
flight. Before cooking, soaking In
strong salt water speedily dislodges
any lice. The same method should be
employed with Brussels sprouts which
are also favorites of the aphls.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

A prominent physician says that by
far the largest number of women's all
ments are not surgical ones, that Is
they are not caused by serious dis
placements, or growths. Symptoms
similar in character are often brought
about by much simpler conditions. We
therefore urge every woman who suf-
fers from backache, headaches, bear
ing down pains, side ache, irregulari-
ties, nervous dependency. or weak
ness to give Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound a trial. 1t acts as a
natural restorative and often prevents
more serious troubles.

HO VITO MAKE FLATS.

Soap Boxes are the most convenient
material for making flats for seeds
and the most readily obtainable from
the grocer. Saw the boxes into two
and one-half-inf sections and nail bot
tom on them and the flat is ready to
be filled with earth for planting seds
in the house. the greenhouse or even
in the hot bed, if 1t is deemed conven-
lent to have the plants in shape to be
moved quickly.
1t is a good plant to store the flats
after they have been used so that they
will be handy and there won't have to
be any time lost next year when they
are needed.

ed Says Association
Head.

Intelligent cooperation between in
land waterways and the United States
Merchant Marine Will assure the
| transportation of American products
in American bottoms and enable our
flag to float over every ocean," is the
prediction of John NJ. Parker, Gov
| ernor of Louisiana and honorary
president of the Mississippi Valley
Association in pre-convention state
ment issued to Valley business and
agricultural interests calling their at
tontion to the Importance of the third
annual gathering of his organization,
to be held at New Orleans, May 2, 8,
and 4.
There is no more important ques-
| ton today before the American people
than the restoration of water traffic."
continue Governor Parker's statement.
mot only have the railroads been
super-congested, perishable freight
! delayed, but rates have been increased
to such proportion as to upset bust
ness and cause the farmer, who Is the
real producer, more unrest and dis
satisfaction than ever in our history.
"The national government has spent
billions for railroads but have over
looked those natural God-given high
ways, represented by our rivers,
which oyer the cheapest transportation
known to mankind
"The meeting Of the Mississippi Val
ley Association in New Orleans, May
| 2, 3 and 4, should be attended by the
Thinking men from every one of the
twenty-seven states Of the Valley,
looking to the development of our
waterways and Gulf Ports, and the
convention should in unmistakable
terms demand for national welfare
and preservation of our agricultural
interests, that the Government should
by prompt action and low rates Of
freight enable our farmers and man
ufacturers to transport their products
to the markets Of the world. Intelli-
gent cooperation between inland wa
terways and the United States Mer-
chant Marine will assure the transpor-
tation of American products in Ameri-
can bottoms and enable our flag to
float over every ocean.
Billions have been spent on rail-
ways and the time has come when
public necessity requires millions to
be spent on waterways"
Harry II. Merrick, Of Chicago, Presi-
dent of the Mississippi Valley Associ-
alton, in commenting on the program
adopted, announces, that the New Or
leans convention will take steps to
protect the Valleys interests, and to
obtain at the earliest practicable time
the completion of the terminals re-
quired the complication Of navigable
waterway projects on the Ohio River

extension of the barge line service on
these waterways.
An open conference is to be held
during the convention for the discus
sion by delegates representing every
community in the Mississippi Valley,
Interested in the development of wa
