OBITUARY.

Ransom L. George was born in Fay cite county, Ala, November 15, 1886, and died in Saltillo, Faulkner coun- ty, Ark, September 2, 1921.
 We realize that his earthly career has ended and therefore we can only say, Dear father, farewell"
 Hard as it is to give him up, we have the consoling faith that we sur render him into the care of the ever- lasting Father, there to dwell with our Lord in that celestial city, not made with hands, where the light of day is dispensed with, for the Good Book teaches us that the glories of the countenance of him that sitteth on the throne giveth light, and he will be our God and we will be his people forever and forever more.
 When our heart is rent with grief and our sorrow almost unbearable, we look for relief to the Great Heal CT of all human sorrow, Christ Jesus, our blessed Lord that wept at the grave of Lazarus and whose mercies are the same tender mercies of old, and which can give us a surcease from all sorrow and restore us to our lved one in the realm beyond earth and time. Therefore, we have faith that Christ has risen and that He will come again, and blessed be God when his star (the second star of Bethlehem) again appears in the east, emblematical of His second coming.
 We have a glorious faith that the light of an unseen morning will dawn upon our father and fill his heart and mind and almost forcibly vision for him angels as they held their mid night festival around the great white throne.

THE LARK LEAVES
 MINUS ARBUCKLf
(By the Associated Press)

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-Arraign- ment of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle in superior court today on a charge of manslaughter was continued until Monday, pending the outcome of the police court hearing on a charge of murder.
 Prosecution and defense are DOW squared off for the trial. which will be started .neXt Thursday when the comedian will be given preliminary ex- animation.
 The decision of Prosecutor Brady to go to trial for murder instead of manslaughter, caught the defense by surprise. Arbuckle, thinking the less grave charge would be prosecuted and he would be permitted bail, had made reservations on The Lark,' a fast train from San Francisco to Los Angeles, last night. Murder is not a bailable offense in California, and the defendant remained in jail.

MAPLE NATURAL SIRUP JUG
Process Of Formation Of the Sweet
Material Is Now Pretty Thor
oughly Understood

The maple tree in early sprngtlme
becomes a sirup jug. 1t is mighty
good strip, too, when one can get the
real stun.
The puzzle used to he how and
why this happens. Now the secret IS
understood.
Beneath the bark Of the naples
trunk and branches is n cellular struc-
ture in which starch Is stored. The
starch Is food, and when spring comes
II Is wanted to make new growth
But the tree cannot digest starch,
and therefore the latter is converted
by engines inorganic ferments) into
sugar The sugar, dissolved in the
tree sap. is carried In the form Of a
thin strip to all parts Of the tree, dis
trlbuting nourishment
The strip flows upward and outward
toward the twigs and budding leaves
and the warmth of the sun causes II
to expand, There is gas too. In the
cellular structure of the sap wood
and II expands under the same genial
influence.
The result IS pressure downward,
and so, when a hole Is bored In the
tree trunk the strip trlckles out. A
good-sized sugar maple tree will yield
80 quarts, or enough to make three
pounds of sugar when boiled down,
