Revive Blue Laws?

Two petitions are in circulation in
the city looking to the closing of the
movie house Sunday afternoons and
evenings and putting a stop to Sun
day base ball. 1t is iiot possible to
discriminate in the limiting of Sun
day activity under the law, and an inn
partial enforcing of the laws a1ould
give us very "blue" Sundays indeed.
While we understand it is neither ac-
cording to law nor scripture, yet the
modern Interpretation of Sunday OBJ
servance is to let each man spend it
as he wishes providing he does not in
terfere with his neighbor or engage in
immoral practices. Too close a re-
striction of our .amusements may
cause a reaction which may even en-
danger the prohibition cause. 1t is
sometimes well to make haste slowly.
We hardly think the general public's
mind would be receptive to the elimin-
alton of tobacco, Sunday movies or
Sunday ball at this time, regardless
of the merit of the movements.

CHURCH SELECTS A MINISTER
Rev. Evans of Bloomer Comes 20 Con-
gregational Church


Rev. z. r. Evans of Bloomer occu-
pied the pulpit of the Congregational
church Sunday morning and evening.
He made very favorable impression
upon the congregation. Following
the evening service a business meet
ing was held and Rev. Evans was Sc
leeted as pastor. He will assume his
duties here within a month.
Rev. and Mrs. Evans are highly
recommended. Mr.. Evans is a fine
executive; Mrs. Evans a good mlsi-
clan. Both are specialists in the boy
scout and campfire girl work. The
Bloomer church has made gratifying
advancement under their efforts, and
they hope to bring about the same
growth in the Viroqua CHURCH, which
has been without pastor for a year
and half.

While the second team , was playing, some one knocked Troy Shu- mate in the side, causing him to have to quit. It proved to be the saddest accident that We ever heard of in a ball game. Two doctors worked with Troy Saturday light and Sunday, but Monday morning at o'clock Troy passed from this world of sorrow and trouble. He leaves father, mother six brothers and three sisters and a host of friends and school mates to mourn his untimely death. The school was dismissed that the teachers and pu- pills might attend the funeral. The bereaved ones have our deepest sym pathy. It is Gods will and we would say look to Him for comfort, for He doeth all things we'll.

GOOD HEALTH HINTS Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad vice on Avoiding Sickness.-
 Used Black -Draught
 30 Year..

Cameron, Okla-"I have used Thedford's Black -Draught for about thirty years, and certainly ought to know by this time what good medi- cine 1t is," says MT. T. L. Bostier. a wellknown farmer of this place. MT. Bostier has passed his three-score-and- tenth year. but declares his health still Is good, "and I can say Black Draught did it's part"
 Where there is a lot of malaria, a liver medicine Is necessity, and have never found one better than Black-Draught," continues the Okla homan. Ut is one that I know to be reliable. I sure use it for the liver. stomach. constipation. indigestion. and 1t has done me a world of good. We use 1t for the family, and 1t gives satisfaction.
 Most trouble. or sickness, comes from the liver. and If taken in time can be avoided. That is why I use Black-Draught as I do. I am much pleased with results obtained"
 Thedfords Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent ly stimulating the liver. and helps in- crease tho normal flow of bile into tho intestines. It assists in the digestion of food, and relieves constipation in . prompt and natural way.
 Ask your druggist for a package to- day. Insist on Thedford's. NC-139

TOWNSHIP NOT IN AN
 IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
Fulton Farris Says No Misrepresen- tatiOn Was Made by Wilson
 Township Petitioners.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 1 wish to make short reply to the charges made by Senator Hartje in the senate and published in your pa per last week, so that your readers and others with whom we have talked regarding the matter may understand we are not wishing to take any under hand measures to accomplish this.
 We appreciate very much those who expressed themselves as being in sym pathy with us by signing petitions asking the legislature to enact such a bill.
 First of all Pulaski county was not trying to grab anything from Faulk- ner county, but were petitioned by the residents of Wilson township to introduce such measure, as we are g miles from Conway, over a very poor road, while we are only 15 miles from Little Rock, about half the dis tance is over a better road than to Conway, and the other half is over the Camp Pike asphalt road. There fore, Little Rock is market place for people of the township, and much more convenient for the people to at tend to all legal matters and to att tend court, while there are many other advantages that would be given to us without materially damaging the other part of the county.
 We told the people when we were making our rounds in the interest of such a proposition that we were not in any improvement district, which this article states we are. Now l want everyone to understand there was no misrepresentation regarding the mat ter, and that Wilson township is posi- lively in no improvement district, and we are not taxed for any such pur- pose, and we were not trying to shirk any responsibilities or duties, but
