WOMAN FINED TRANSPORTING
 WHITE MULE
Mrs. Elmer Gilmore at Jonesboro Is Assessed SlOO-Takes Appeal to Circuit Court.

Tue Jone6boro Evening Sun. of the 18th, publishes the following account of q woman bootlegginG episode ip that city:
 "A pew record was opeued in tha lidnor transportation business in Craighead county when tho first woman. Mrs. Elmer Gilmore, was convicted in J. r. court this morn- ing on . charge of transporting gallou of white mule. Mrs. Gilmore was arrested September 2Tth. after getting off tho Frisco noon train, coming from Hergett. and starting with grip to her homo on Allis street The case has hung fire for various reasons until today when 1t was tried in Justice Pat Hatcher's court to which the case wac cent by Justice John Reeves after tha defendant claimed that justice could not be secured in Reeves court. "The trial was by q jury on re- quest of the counsel for the defend ant and by agreement of both sides tho Jury was composed of five mon, being tue folloping well knouu citizoas B. T. Kehl, foreman, Joe IT. Trice, Thomas Burris, Ell ". Collins and Spencer Harris. They reached verdict within three mIn- utes after retiring to the jury room at the courthouse. where tho trial
 was held, finding Mrs. Gilmore guilty of transporting whiskey nnd assessing fine of S100 against her. She took an appeal to circuit court and gave cash bond for S250. l The case was hard fought from avery angle.
 The defense conteuded that Mrs. Gilmore had exchanged her grip through accident for that of anothr CT party on the train and did not know that tho grip contained shc lgallon of white mule until it was taken from her and opened by Con- stable Willis Copeland The stata conteuded that Mrs. Gilmore knew she was liquor runper on that date that it is likely the grip did
 not belong to her but that it had
 been passed to her by bootlcggcrs
 to be carried in order to aver. suS-
 picion. it is said. The constable
 had been tipped off that the GIL
 mores were coming in with the
 booze He saw them get off tba
 train and followed them up tho
 street Tho arrest occurred at the corner of Cate and Vandyne.
 rho entire issue in the case was
 whether the jury would believe that
 Mrs. Gilmore had exchanged beT grip by mistake and was innocent
 as to the contents of the newly ac.
 quirod grip.
 l "Officers hint that the captured
 grip is known to have been snug. gled into Jonesboro with whiekeS' on numerous occasions and by un. idergroupd routes, It Is conceded that it is not the property of Mrs. Gilmore.
 "The grip and tho jar of white mule were brought ulto court as evidence by Constable Copeland.

SOME BOOSTERS

Chas. Hooker, of Rockers Switch, came to Paragould this morning and turned in a total membership of 35 to the Lone Star Highway Associa- ton, all procured at Lafe and Rockers Switch. That's not all," MT. Hooker told Secre- tary Stedman; We are going to get even MORE from those two towns. We are for that road, good and strong.' Lafe and Rockers Switch are very small communities in point of population. Just consider what it would mean if Paragould and other communities along the proposed route should sub scribe 10 the enterprise as literally as those two towns are subscribing. The citizens of IAfe and Rockers Switch think more of great highway than they do of few five dol lar bills. They are lemon strating 1t.

QUEER METHOD OF DEFENSE
flating Their Bodies, Brighten
ing Their Enemies.

The swell fishes of tropic coast
waters have the power of suddenly
Initiating the body with water or air
until they assume an approximately
globular form several times the normal
diameter, which must be discomfort
Ing to any enemy about to seize one.
The porcupine fish, in addition to doing
this, has the body everywhere covered
with long, sharp spines which project
in every direction like the quilts Of
a hedgehog. The trunk fishes, in
stead of being protected in this way,
have the body encased in bony shell,
like turtle. In the East Indies there
are rectangular species, but ours are
three-cornered, beechnut shaped. They
go by various names-cuckold, she'll
fish, and so forth, the cowfish being
species with two hornlike spines
projecting from its forehead. They
are excellent eating, cooked In the
shell like lobster. The back muscles
of the swell fishes are sometimes
eaten, but make risky delicacy, as
there are northumberland instances
Of severe poisoning from eating these
fishes. The poison seems to be local
lied In the viscera and to permeate
the rest Of the fish after death.

WHY JOHN WAS NOT SMOKING
Probably the Widest Idea Of His
eliminates Would Have Been
Wide of the Mark.

All the men at the club have been
watching Johnnie Edwards, the invet-
crate smoker, for the last week, and
there's been much surmising and con-
occurring, but Johnnie wouldn't give
himself away. 1t seems that JohHnie
has held the prize for the champion
smoker In the club for ten years.
In the last week Johnnie has been
seen strolling around the rooms with
detected, lost appearance and be-
tween his lips always the inevitable
cigarette. But 1t was never lighted
Nobody liked to ask him questions and
he didn't volunteer any explanation, so
1t wasn't explained until Jimmie Van
Week overheard him say on the tele-
phone:
mo, you have got to stick to your
word now. l swore off if you would
and goodness knows l want one bad
enough, but Doc says you've gotta
leave 'em alone for while. Now be a
good little mother and remember your
promise. New York Sun.

CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET
Use Of AcceIerator Causes "short
Circuit Of Pedal Nerves or "Motor
Foot" X Is Said.

When car owners return from their
summer vacations many of them re-
turn limping. A new summer cpl
demic is at large in the ranks of vaca-
tionists.
The new ailment has been given the
popular name of motor foot" In the
language Of surgical chiropody 1t is In
dexed and classified under the name
of "metatarsal displacement"
Continuous motoring is the cause
of the ailment. 1t is a right foot
trouble caused by the continuous strain
occasioned by long motor trips when
the driver keeps his foot in the strained
position required by the use Of the car
accelerator.
This position causes displacement
of the metatarsal bones which In turn
causes them, in motor language, to
'short" the nerves of that part Of the
foot. This In turn Is the answer for
the pain that accompanies the dis
tinction Of possessing motor foot"
"Motor foot" not only makes walk
ing painful, but practically eliminates
golf, tennis or any Of the other popular
forms of active recreation.

MEANING OF SELF-MASTERY
Plato Saw a Triumph of Good over
Evil Principles Existing in
Each Mans Soul.

Temperance is, / imagine, a kind
of order and mastery as men say,
over certain pleasures and desires.
Thus we plainly hear people talking of
q mans being master of himself in
some sense or other; and other similar
expressions are used In which we may
trace a print of the thing. But is
not the expression master Of him
self a ridiculous one? For the man
who is master of himself Will also, /
presume, be the slave of himself and
the slave will be the master. For the
subject of these phrases is the same
person.
Well, 1t appears to me that the
meaning of the expression is that in
the man himself, that is In his soul,
there resides a good principle and
bad, and when the naturally good
principle is master Of the bad, this
state Of things is described by the
term master of himself" certainly
1t is term of praise-but when, in
consequence of evil training, or the
influence of associates, the smaller
force of the good principle is over
powered by the superior numbers of
the bad, the person so situated is de-
scribed In terms of reproach and con-
domination, as slave of self, and
dissolute persOn.-Plato.
