United States to Punish Those Who Steal
from Cars.
One of the measures passed the
last session of Congress makes it a
felony to break the seal of a rail
road car containing interstate or
foreign shipments of freight, ex
press or baggage, or to enter such
a car with intent to steal, or to
steal, conceal or by fraud or de
ception' obtain from any railroad
car. station-house, depot or plat
form any goods or chattels which
are part of an interstate or foreign
shipment of freight, express or
baggage. Breaking into or steal
ing any part of the contents of a
piece of baggage also comes under
the provisions of the act. which
applies with equal force to any
person who shall buy, receive or
have in his possession any freight
express, baggage or other goods or j
chattels so stolen, knowing the j
same to be stolen. The punish
ment for any of these offenses is a '
fine up to $5,000 or imprisonment
up to ten years, or both, and prose
cutions may be instituted in any
district where the crime shall have
been committed.
The carrying or transporting by
a person of any such freight, ex
press. baggage or goods or chattels
from one State or Territory into
another knowing it to have been
stolen constitutes a separate of
fense for which the same punish
ment is prescribed.
The making of these acts feder
al offenses, together with the se
verity of the punishment provided. I
is expected to prevent much crime
of this character, as all offendeis
have a wholesome fear of United
States courts and the promptness j
and certamty with twhich they
mete out punishment.

Sauerkraut.
Who was it first invented kraut,
and put it in a barrel? Some sci-'
entist should find out. and deck his
tomb with a laurel. For kraut's a I
good old dish and when, with eager
talons we throw it in our holds, we
wish that we could eat three gal- ,
Ions. For sauerkraut's savory and !
clean, and not the least corrody. j
and it contains no nicotine, or ben-!
jamin of soda. 1 always give a joy- j
ous shout, glad are my feelings
inner, when grandma says she'll
cook some kraut (with other
things) for dinner. And towards
the stove, throughout the day with
anxious eyes I'm looking; and
neighbors seven miles away all
know just she's cooking. The in- j
cense that you read about around
the du^p is gropin’ when granny
cooks a mess of kraut and leaves
the windows open. 1 see the
neighbors going by, they sniff the
sauerkraut a boiling, and often 1
can hear them s'ght: “For kraut
I'm fairly spoiling!” Ah, sauer
kraut is a noble dish, beloved o'
wise old fogies! And why do fool
ish people wish their weed in plugs
or stogies? Wait Mason.

department of Fduratlon Issued Bulletin on
School Supervision.
The Department of Educatior
! has just issued a bulletin dealinj
with the question of county super
intendency of schools in the state
The bulletin, which was preparer'
by Supervisor of rura' Schools. J
1 . Bond, briefly discusses the wort
of a county superintendent anc
gives the results in improved
schools conditions that are shown
in those counties of the state that
have adopted the supervision plat
of work.
There are fifteen counties ac
cording to this bulletin, that have j
county superintendents of schools
and these superintendents have
done much to organize, classify
and standardize the work of the
rural schools in these counties.
Under the present county super
intendency law. any county in the I
state, that has not already adopted
superintendency for its schools
may adopt the county supervision j
plan of work by a vote of the elect
ors at the annual school election, i
The bulletin further states that 1
the county superintendent does:
not displace the direction, neither
does he assume r take away any j
of the duties or powers now pos
sessed by the school directors.
The superintendent aids, assists
and cooperates with these schools.
The bulletin concludes with the
following statements: ‘Efficient;
supervision is without doubt the
most pressing need at present in
the school work of the state.
County superintendency is no long
er an experiment in the school
work of Arkansan—it has been
tried in a number of counties and
has not been found wanting, but
rather it has been in every instance
a positive working force for the up
building and betterment of the
schools in every way.”

Face Value,”
Do you ever figure out what you
would bring in money if sold at
"face value." that is, if the com
ponent parts of your body were
weighed and measured by a pur
chaser as "raw material?" Well, a I
patient German scientist has fig
ured it all out, and here is the re
sult:
"A man weighing 150 pounds
comes to about $7.50. He finds
in his body about $2.50 worth of
fat: while of iron, so essential to
health and v'gor. he discovers
hardly enough to make a rail an
nch long. But ther ,s o'enty of
