No Tears.

A woman of many years of married
life, giving advice to'a young bride,
dwelt particularly upon tears. The
first time she sheds them "he" will be
stricken with remorse the second time
he will be uncomfortable, the third
he will think her nuisance, and the
fourth he will go out and bang the
door. Evidently there is no place for
tears in married life.

TWO BURGLARS
 ARE CAPTURED
SAM DONALS (WHITE) AND NE GRO COMRADE IN TOLLS
 ONE ESCAPED.

City Marshal Luther Willingham, Deputy Will Martin and Constable Fred Murrah yesterday drove down to- wards Emmet, and leaving their car at Jim Wards, quietly instituted a search for the robbers who burglarized the store at Emmet Saturday night.
 After securing the woods the robbers were sighted and the chase began.
 sam Donals, the white man of the gang, ralsed his shotgun and had It trained on Constable Murrah who at the moment could not see the desper- ado. But when Luther WiiiiGgham ms automatic began barking the would be" bad man fell to the ground. while his negro companions fled through the woods making good their escape for the time being. Donals confessed, i'm plicating the two negroes and himself as being the trio wanted in Hampstead county for grand larceny. and who re- gently broke jail at Washington, com ing direct to Emmet where they robbed the Emmet Mercantile store Saturday night.
 The officers have recovered most of the stolen articles, including the horses taken from Hampstead county.
 Last night Clint Wesson of Emmet saw negro stalking along and looking suspicious, and he at once arrested him and telephoned Sheriff Steelet who went down and brought him back to jail.
 He proved to be one of the gang wanted for the Emmet robbery. ]. F. Bearden, constable and deputy sheriff of Hope arrived in this city this morning and will carry Donals and the negro back to Hampstead county this afternoon as their court meets there next month, and sentence can be speed fly imposed.
 The officers are on the lookout for the other negro member of the band and his arrest will likely follow very shortly. Our officers are to be com mended for their tireless and fearless prosecution of the law and their speedy apprehension of law breakers.

MASS MEETING.

There will be mass meeting at the City Hall Thursday night to discuss and takes measures to assist in feeding the starving children in Europe and China Perhaps at no time in the his tory of the world has famine and dis ease been so widespread. Literally
 millions of children are dying of hunger
 and exposure, and there is no hope for
 them except through the voluntary con tributions of the American people. The
 need is so great that it is not possible | to do more than keep life in the poor l emaci ted bodies until another crop can be made One meal a day of the
 cheapest food is all that the various
 relief societies hope to be able to give,
 and this can only be done by a generous
 response from the American people.
 All relief societies and organizations
 are cooperating to stem the tide of suffering and death. The Jews, Qua kers, Protestants, Catholics, Y. M. c. A., Red Cross, and others like Organi-
 zations are joining in this work. Ten dollars will save child from death by starvation. Let the charitably dis posed people of the town meet at the City Hall Thursday night at 30, and let us take some measures to assist in this great emergency.

 TO BE HURRIED
BERT JOHNSON HAS PLAN FOR BEING THE FIRST IN THE
 MARKET

During his recent visit to Southern Arkansas, H. NJ. Cottrell. agriculturist of the Arkansas ProfitableFarming Blu reau of the Little Rock Board of Com merce was much interest in plans of Bert Johnson, the Arkansas peach king to force his cantaloupes to ma- turity so that they will be ready for marketing much earlier than other Arkansas grown cantaloupes. MT. John son plans to have 450 acres in canta- loupes on his farm at Highland, Pike county After the cantaloupeS of the Imperial Valley of California are mar keted there is time when the whole country is without cantaleupes and it is in this period that Mir Johnson plans to have his cantaloupes on the market.
 He is giving his land special work now to warm it up" said Mr Cottrell. He is opening up furrows and subsoil- ing them in the center of the rows where the hills will be planted He will put barnyard manure into these fur rows and will work the soil over it in order to further warm the land He will put a full shovelful of barnyard manure under each hill and will use commercial fertilizer heavily to force early ripening.
 "A wire wicket will be placed over each hill as soon as the seed is planted and the wicket will be covered with q wea therproof transparent paper. The paper is similar in appearance to the transparent slip used in envelopes l through which the address on the let ter can be read. This paper will let the sunlight through to uhe plants and keep out the cold rains, winds aud | frost.
 "The soil will be given intensive cul tivation of kind that will warm it tt the greatest extent. When the weath CT becomes permanently warm hclt will be cut in the paper covering eaci hill and the plants will be gradually hardened until the paper can be remov | cd. d."-GaZette

MAKES MERRY WITH PUBLIC
In His Book. "WindmiIIs," Gilbert
Canaan Pokes Fun at Many Ven
erable European Institutions.

Gilbert Canaan admits a misunder-
standing of his pacifist attitude to-
ward the war In his preface to the
American edition of "Windmills," but
avows firmly that "the attempt to re-
move militarlsm and military concep-
tions from among human preoccupa-
tions is good cause and will serve
with the only weapon know how to
use-the pen--which they say is
mightier than the sword or even the
howitzer. Having applied myself to
this service before the outbreak Of
the great war. which for me began in
1911, was not to be diverted from
1t by the panic confusion Of those who
were overtaken by the calamity rath-
er than prepared for It,"
With a solemnity which is gro
tesque, he recounts in "Sannays Is
land" the wars between the Fattish
empire and Fatterland, The reader
will recognize many European insti-
tutions and events at which Mr..
Canaan is poking fun. A second read
ing reveals more of his sly illusions,
