 OF ROY JOHNSON

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l feel like 1 must write a note to you and tell you how much 1 enjoy having the good old Log Cabin Dem ocrat resume it's visits to me after an absence of several years. 1 can hardly see how 1 could have well gotten along without it's friendly vis- its all this time. It is certainly in- teresting to read the news items from so many different sections of the county. MT. Editor, allow me to congratulate you on being success ful in getting so many correspond ents to send in items regularly. l read with special interest the items from Vilonia, Elpaso, Sixteenth Sec tion, Woodrow, Cypress Valley, New Liberty and Beryl. To read items from those places is almost like call ing on some of those good people and having a chat with them around their hearthstones. Some of you folks had better be on the lookout, for some of these times during one of my vacations 1 may take you by surprise.
 It was with much regret and sad ness that l read about that awful murder of George Hopkins and his wife. l know all the parties con- cerned in that tragedy except one. l taught three short terms of school in the district where Tom Johnson lived. Tom was one of my school directors. Roy got his first school ing under my direction. He was only about six years old at that time. Tom Johnson treated me with court esy and my relations with his family were pleasant. He had two other children in school besides Roy, FL mer, about ', and Della, about 9 years old. At that time l never knew Tom Johnson drinking any. The awful killing referred to above and other incidents in the lives of the Johnsons of late goes to prove what tampering with whiskey vii lead to.

APPEAL TO COUNTY
 FOR CITIZENSHIP WILLIAMS AND PARSONS To Devote Two Weeks to Tour with Moving Picture Appeal for
 More Patriotism.

An appeal for better citizenship backed up by highly effective moY- ing picture plea for national unity will be made over the county during the two weeks beginning Monday, February 27, by County Agent T. Nj. Williams and Supt. A. A. Parsons, Jr., whose undertaking has been accorded the support of the Conway Commer cial Club as move in the right di- rection and one worthy of the whole hearted cooperation of all right mind ed citizens. Mr. Williams has secur- ed Is America Worth Saving?" ! moving picture in two reels, and 1t will be exhibited with the machine used in his work. Both Mr. Williams and Mr. Parsons will speak on the subject during the tour
 The picture, MT. Williams said, $ endorsed by civic bodies as probably the best one of it's kind produced. It is powerful arraignment of Bol- shevism and radicalism in any form, and also appeals to the patriotism of those who see 1t. The undertaking, it is thought, is timely and needed.
 In mapping out the itinerary to be followed, some points were not In- cluded, but will be added if requested. MT. Williams and Mr. Parsons will go on double time in order to cover as much territory as possible. They may be joined at some of the stops by others interested in the same cause, and Conway may be added. The itinerary for the two weeks is as fol- lows:

Or. Charles A. r. campbelps Discov-
cries and Scientific Work With
Bats Interests N~aturalists
All over World.

Los Angeles.-Malaria, the disease
that completes with tuberculosis and
cancer In Its heavy toll of life, has
found Its Nemesis since science pro.
tects md shelters the bat as the nat.
urai enemy OF the malarial MOSQUITO.
The result Of DIR. Charles A. II.
Campbelrs discoveries and scientific
WORK with bats and mosquitoes has In
terested naturalists all over the world.
n hrst bat roost was built in San
antonio for the purpose Of Kidding
the city OF the pestilential malarlal
mosquito.
For years DIR. Campbell experiment.
ed on bats to discover why they were
mmun from the disease that wrought
such havoc with human beings.
Bats Abhor Jazz.
1t o o n great many years for DR..
campbell to be sure Of the cause for
the difference In the susceptibility Of
the bat and that Of other mammals.
w. ID. Hornaday writes in the Los An
geles Times. The great difference in
h anatomy Of the bat was found to
be In Its relatively much larger spleen.
pt Is to this organ that DIR. Campbell
attributes the ability Of the bat to
thrive on the mosquito and consume
large numbers Of them without being
affected.
In his experiments with bats DR..
Campbell has come across several pc
culiar characteristics Of the animal.
For instance, bats abhor jazz. A
monograph, n jazz record and n small
boy stationed on the top Of a hunting
lodge infested with bats so startled
h animals In the early morning hours
as they returned to roost that they
new som two miles away, entered an
0ther lodge and never returned 10 the
one In which they had been living for
two years. The explanation of this is
that the ear Of the bat Is so delicate
that dlscordant or strident noises are
to them the most Irritating of nll sen.
s%ations.
The remarkable value of bats as n
health service was demonstrated I'm
San Antonio when the malaria infected
swamp region around Lake Mitchell
where there was abundant grazing for
cattle was experimental on. 1t has
been said that formerly it was I'm
possible to build fences around this
land bordering the lake strong enough
to hold the cattle.
The myriads of mosquitoes were not
only dangerous IN account OF their
germ-carrying ~propensities, but their
bite was too painful even for beasts
having shoe-leather hides to endure,
DR.. Campbell erected n bat roost on
a rise In the neighborhood Of the lake
and In a veal the place was cleared of
mosquitoes and thousands OF bats Ind
taken their places. The grazing land
Is now covered with fine, healthy cat.
tie and the farm land Is irrigated from
the waters Of the lake. Malaria Is al
most unknown among the people dwell.

homes and farms are now taking up

Up in the highlands of Yellowstone
National park dwell the remaining

the elk are forced from the mountains
and out of the park, to the lower
levels where there is less snow. In
this annual migration many Of the elk
pass into the national forests which
entirely surround the park. Thus
they become a source of concern to

According to police his memory
was impaired by the privations

The schooner, the name Of
which could not be determined,
carried n crudely arranged mast

clothing had been used for sails.
