Whereas, in His infinite wisdom. it hath pleased Divine Providence to re move from our midst, our friend and neighbor, Joseph E. Hogan, who died January r, 1921, at his home at Cato Ark; and,
 Whereas, while we lovingly sub init to the all-wise decrees of our Father in heaven, who holds the su- preme power of giving life to every creature and of recalling it when it's mission is fulfilled here on earth;
 Be it resolved, that we, the teachers and pupils of Cato school. dc hereby extend to the bereaved family of the deceased--as our friends and fellow students-our heartfelt love and sym pathy in this their trying hour of sor- row and bereavement; and,
 Be it further resolved, that we sim cerely pray our Father in heaven to comfort and console the sorrowing ones and to cause them to look unto Him who doeth all things well, and that He may reach out His omnipotent hand to lear and guide them through life's journey, and,

son of Calhoun were senators to come here, with Allen Kennedy of Fort Smith, R. s. Hudson of Atkins and s. F. Morton of Fordyce to represent the house of representatives.
 B. W. Torreyson, president of the Normal. this afternoon had received no word from Little Rock as to the cause of the delay. Word had been received from two senators, not mem- bers of the committee, that they would come to Conway tonight, and it was thought possible the five law makers will also come and remain over for their inspection tomorrow.
 A number of public spirited citizens with automobiles to be placed at the disposal of the legislators during the day were at the station this morn ing when the train from Little Rock arrived. MT. Torreyson was deeply puzzled when no committees appeared. Chapel service at the State Normal had been slightly delayed so that the visitors would have opportunity to address the student body, and other plans for their entertainment had been brought to a point where only the visitors were required before they would be put into operation. The day had been planned to that the lawmakers would spend the greater part of their time at the Normal. and then be given ride over the city be- fore returning to Little Rock tonight.
 The visits of house and senate con- mittees to state institutions are more or less formal observance of an es- tablished legislative custom. The work of the institutions is known to all members of both houses, but the visits are made before any action is taken upon appropriation bills. At the completion of an inspection. the committee files it's report and recom- mendation, which are submitted when the appropriation bills come up for hearing.

Pattie Montgomery Simpson was born January 31, 1870, at Vilonia, Ark. Though the influence of Chris tian home, she gave her heart to God early in life and united with the M. E. church, south. Near the age of A she was married to Joseph A. Simp- son. To this union four children, Jewel, Mildred, Elmer and Maurine, came to bless the home. Pattie entered the home, first as a step
 mother, and faithfully filled a step- mothers place. Her utmost desire was to see her little flock safely housed in the fold of Christ. And while she lived a consistent christian life, yet in her heart she recognized g lack of something she did not pos sess. So after a complete consecra- tion and abandonment of her all, she

SQUIRREL SEASON WILL OPEN
SEPTEMBER 1ST IN 1922

At the session OF the General As
sembiy of 1920 there was enacted a
law prohibiting the killing of SOUR
rels In any manner except between
the dates Of November 10th. and Jan
nary 1st. This law is Statewide in
effect. During the season OF 1870 TINS
Department received very lew com
plants from persons VINO desired TO
hunt and kill squirrels, however, re-
ports received from throughout tne
State confirm the fact that squirrels
under the protection of the law dur-
ing 1920 must have increased very
rapidly The Department Is in re
ceiDt almost daily Of mplaints from
persons throughout the state as 70

course. SQUIRRELS would destroy corn
to some extent during September
when il is in a tender state.
State Game Warden LeCompte
states to the public that he will re-
quest the introduction OF bill at the
coming session of the General As
sembly of 1922 to repeal the present
law protecting squirrels and request
a law to be enacted opening the sea-
son for the killing of squirrels, sept
l. 1922 instead OF November 10. lie
hopes to secure the cooperation or
the public OF this State in having
same enacted.
The State Game Department ear
nestly requests all law-abiding citi-
zens to help protect our game by en-
forcing the laws. We have at present
n District Deputy Game Warden In
each County of this State. however, II
is impossible for him TO be at ali
points in the county at the same time.
Therefore, the law-abiding citizens or
this State can be very beneficial In the
protection Of game especially at this
season OF the year when persons VINO
have no respect for the law will Jake
a chance of violating same by hunting
game on which the season has not yet
opened. II is very essential for the
sportsmen's benefit that they should
report to the District Deputy Warden
of their county or to this Department,
all violations coming TO their notice
and furnish evidence whereby the De
partment will be able TO prosecute
such vioiators BY taking such action
they can save large amount Of game
which will stay In the covers undis-
turbed until the lawful season opens
Again referring 60 the open season
on squirrels, Il Is a violation Of the
law to hunt take. capture, kill or pur-
chase squirrels in all counties Of this
State until November 10. Realizing
tt:lt the laws protecting game can be
changed only through Legislation en-
acted by the General Assembly we
recommend that the State Game War
den be empowered 10 open or CLOSE
seasons on any species OF game
which Is becoming too plentiful or
scarce in any section OF this State. In
the majority OF the States Of this Tn
ion operating under the Hunters Ii
cense System the laws empower the
state Game Warden or Commissioners
to make regulations In addition to the
laws enacted by the General Assem-
bly, whereby beneficial results may be
obtained
