Nature Undoubtedly Has Endowed
Many Birds and Beasts With
Keenly Prophetic Instinct.
Do birds and animals sense weath
er changes in advance? 1*. Connor,
who forecasts weather for Kansas
City and vicinity, referred to a
weather bureau bulletin on weather
folklore. “Observations of natural
ists and herdsmen,” said the bulle
tin, “go far to prove that birds and
animals are cognizant of approach
ing changes in the state of the air,
before we know of their coming by
other signs.
“To many kinds of animals and
birds,” it continued, “the weather
is of so much more importance than
to us, that it would seem strange if
nature had not endowed them with
a keenly prophetic instinct. It is
not difficult to imagine that the
physical organism of animals may
be sensitive to weather changes, and
that it has become an inherited in
stinct to associate the sensations ex
perienced with the different kinds
of weather.”
A8 to signs in trees and flowers,
Mr. Connor explained they simply
expressed past and present condi
tions. “They are influenced mostly
bv the varying degrees of humidity,
and are weather indicators only in
so far as an increase of humidity
might portend rain,” he added.
JAVA WOMEN SEEK ‘EQUALITY'
Movement Toward Emancipation Said
to Be Making Headway in the
Dutch East Indies.
Women’s suffrage movements
have reached the Dutch East Indies,
the colonies whose history and an
cient savagery were chiefly known
to credulous Americans through
circus side-shows, wherein the “\\ ild
Man of Borneo” and “The Terrible
Dyaks, Ferocious Head-Hunting
Cannibals,” drew many dimes while
the crowds waited for the “big tent”
to open.
Head hunting and kindred sav
age pastimes still continue, to some
extent, within the jungles of these
Dutch islands, but, according to the
Dutch press, most of the natives are
rapidly adopting modern theories.
In Java, the upper class native
women, under leadership of Radon
| Adjeng Kartini, a woman of high
birth, are reported to be making
rapid strides toward emancipation,
although the Mohammedan custom
of polygamy strll prevails. In all
the “Kartini schools,” the girls of
the upper classes are being taught
occidental theories of equality with
the men. Dutch correspondents say
the progress of the mov ment i~ nee
essarilv slow, hut appear- to I*,- cer

CHURCH CORNERSTONE
GOVERNOR HELPS LAY
Walnut Ridge, July 18 —
! About 2,000 persons were
(present yesterday at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the
new Mehodist church build
ing to be erected here. Gov.
T. C. McRae assisted in the
laying of the stone. The gov
ernor made a brief address.
The religious part of the cere
mony was conducted by Rev.
John Score of Helena.
IN DANGER.
Herman is a small North side
boy who is just reaching the age
when- his imagination sometimes
runs riot.
A few nights ago a holdup of the
corner grocery gave him much food
for thought. Last night he came to
his mamma, seemingly much ag
grieved at his companions.
“They will not believe me,
mamma, when 1 tell them that I
sleep in a dangerous place.”
“How is that?” asked his mother.
“Well, I sleep right by the win
dow. and that is where the burglar
would have to come in if he en
tiled this house.”—Indianapolis
News.
PROTECT THE BIRDS.
i
Prof. C. M. Weed, eminent en
tomologist, says, after many years’
: study of the relation of birds to
agriculture: “I am convinced that
i birds are a most potent fnctor in
making crop production possible,
and without them we should be
overrun with pests—vertebrate and
invertebrate—to an extent of which
we have no conception.”

VISITING SCHOOLS
Superintendent Invites Teach
ers to Visit With Him
The summer schools are
now in session. In some com
munities there will be no
summer term, but quite a
number are now in operation.
I am now spending a great
deal of time in these schools,
and find in most schools, a
fine prospect for a good and
successful term.
At our county Institute, a
number of teachers gave ex
pression that they would like
to visit some with me during
the summer. I am very anx
ious to have any one who may
so desire to go with me, for
I am sure you will enjoy it
and will gain some valuable
ideas along with it. It is in
spirational to any teacher to
call and see for themselves
just how and what his fellow
teacher is doing. I shall be
glad to talk with you and
make arrangements for the
trip.
1 am spending each Satur
day in the office, and any oth
er time that I have, when not
out visiting schools.
I shall also be glad to meet
the directors or patrons at
their respective schools on the
day of visitation, and discuss
any question of school inter
est with you.

A Farmer's Store
Our storehouse is the farmer’s market place.
It is a square deal store where farmers can bring
their produce and knew they are going to get the
best market prices that conditions afford.
Our Store is the place where the farmer can
buy his flour, sugar, coffee, and feedstuff under
the same conditions as when he sells to us—the
square deal way.
We are proud of the confidence the farmers
of this section have in us and we appreciate their
patronage.
