NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
Press Association Spend Enjoyable Week In
Ozark Mountains.
The Forty-third Annual meeting
of the Arkansas Press association
was held at Harrison the first three
days of last week and the latter
half of the week spent by the
members and their wives or sweet
j hearts in visiting the various towns
along the Missouri and North Ark
ansas railroad, one of the state’s
scenic lines.
I
Harrison, the county seat of
Boone county, where the meetings
were held is a live, progressive
town with 5,000 inhabitants, with
| no negroes, and before the M. &
N. A. railway was built through
there about eight years ago was
said to be the largest inland town
in the United States. There are
seven religious denominations with
good church buildings in the town
and two grammer and one high
school buildings. The elevation
above sea level is 1,400 feet and
everybody seems contented and
happy and boasts of the climate
and fruit, as well as the mineral
resources and scenery of the com
munity.
Two nights and one day were j
spent in Eureka Springs, one of the i
greatest inland summer resorts in j
this country which is 1,700 feet;
above sea level, and where the |
street cars carry you to the top of a
mountain over 2,000 feet above
sea level, on which is located the
magnificent Crescent hotel. Be
sides the Crescent is the Basin
Park hotel, one of the finest to be
found any where, and numerous
smaller ones to take care of the
summer visitors who were already
beginning to arrive. If you have
never enjoyed a trip to Eureka
Springs you have missed a treat,
both there and the magnificent
scenery to be viewed enroute from
Kensett up the M. &i N. A. railway
On the return trip from Eureka
Springs stops were made at Berry
ville, one of the largest shipping
points for poultry and mules in the
state, and a live town which has
the destinction of not having had
a fire or business failure in nine
years.
At Green Forest, one of the
cleanest towns in the state, we
were welcomed by the late Repub
lican candidate for governor, who
said that Act No. 3, known as the
publicity act, was the best law ever
placed on the statutes books of the
state.
At Mercer we visited the marble
and lime works, where the supply
of raw material is umlimited and
where also is mined phosphate
rock for fertilizer.
At Zack a trip through Roaring
Cave was one of the most interest
ing sights on the trip. This natur
al cave, or the first rooms of it, are
used as a cold storage plant as the
temperature is always the same.
When it is warmer outside the air
isclrawn out naturally and when it
is colder outside the air is drawn in.
The connection from one part of
the cave to the other is by a pass
age just large enough to permit a
man’s body to pass through and at
this point the current of air is so
strong that it creates a roaring
§Qynd, from which the cave de
rives its name.
At Marsnall the party was shown
that that section of Arkansas was
rightly called the fruit belt, as we
not only saw the strawberries,
cherries, etc., growing, but were
served with a bountiful repast of
them.
At Leslie and Pangburn, two
growing towns on the comparative
ly new railroad, the editors were
given a heartv welcome and more
strawberries and other fruits.
One night was spent at Heber
Springs, another one of Arkansas’
great health resort which will some
day in the near future be more
famous as its virtures become
more widely known. In one of the
most beautiful parks in the state
are found seven springs, each pour
ing fourth a distinct kind of water,
including iron, magnesia, arsenic
and sulphur. A new $100,000
hotel is in course of erection which
shows the faith of the people in the
water.
At Searcy our stop was cut
short on account of having to make
a connection at Kensett in order to
reach Little Rock Saturday after
noon, but the reception was cor
dial, and Hon. Stephen Brundrigde
in his address of welcome assured
us that his primary law assuring
clean politics for the state would
be initiated at the next election.
Taken as a whole the meeting
was one of the best ever held by
association and many good papers
were highly enjoyed. The next
meeting will be held at Texarkana
and an effort is being made to have
the Texas Press association meet
there at the same time in a joint
session._

FAMOUS MAKERS OF BELLS
Frans and Pieter Hemony, Natives of
Lorraine, Said to Have Excelled
in the Craft.
Most of the bells of Holland and
Belgium are of the manufacture of
| the Hemonys. two brothers, who lived
between 1697 and 16S0. The Hemonys
—Frans, the elder, and Pieter, the
younger brother—were natives of
Lorraine who early established them
selves at Zutfen. They were excellent
craftsmen, producing bells of peculiar
beauty of form, and possessed a mar
velous faculty for tuning bells. Theirs
was the golden age of carillon-making,
and their bells remain predominant in
the towers of the Ixiw Countries today.
It is interesting to notice their con
; temporaries in tbe Netherlands, for
i the carillon was the manifestation
in music of the spirit of a people who
at the same time were showing great
| genius in many other directions.
Rembrandt, Ver Meer. Rubens. Tan
Dyck, Frans Hals and Pieter d’Hooch
all lived at this period. Likewise,
Lieven de Kay, the master builder,
and Visscher, the famous engraver,
and Vondel, the dramatist and poet.
Tromp and De Ruyter were winning
their naval victories and Grotius was
writing his great works on interna
tional law.
The brothers Hemony made their
first carillon in 1645 for the Wine
bouse tower at Zutfen. During 36
years the Hemonys made scores of
carillons, the total value of which
Van der Straeten says was surely
more than 3.000,000 francs—$600,000—
an enormous sum for the time.
The entrance of Italy into the
European war adds another forty
million people to the great struggle.
If the Balkan states take up the
cudgels of war as they are expect
ed, the list will be increased by
something like fourteen millions
more. It is estimated that over
eight hundred and fifty million peo
ple inhabit the nations now fighting
or more than half the world’s pop
ulation.
Exports for month of April, 1915,
amounted to $100,427,515
against $66,525,090 for April,
1914. imports totaled $87,803,
741 for April of this year com
pared with $94,258,866. The
gain is on the right side of the
ledger. ,_
Detroit reports a record break
ing shipment of automobiles for the
month of April, 17,084 car loads
were handled as compared with
14,122 cars in April, 1914, an in
crease of over 20 per cent.
Richest Phosphate Mine.
The world's richest phosphate mine
is on the island of Curacao.
John M. Cooper Dead.
John M. Cooper, a highly re
spected citizen living one mile
south of Strong, died at 2 o'clock |
Tuesday afternoon. May 25. 1915.
of acute inflamatory rheumatism
and other complications, after hav
ing been an invalid for the past two
years.
The deceased was about 55
years of age and leaves a wife and
eight children, mother, three broth
ers and two sisters to mourn his
death.
He was made a Mason in Marion
Lodge No. 285, F. & A. M.. at
Marion, La., a number of years ago
and, while his membership was
with some lodge in Texas, his dy
ing request that Marion Lodge
perform the last sad rites of the
order were carried out, and he was
given a Masonic burial. Worshipful
Master H. M. Lee of Marion Lodge
conducting the same after a relig
ious service conducted at the home
by Rev. W. C. Smith.
The deceased was a consistent
member of the Missionary Baptist
church and lived an examplary life,
interment took place in Strong
cemetery at 11 o'clock Wednesday
morning in the presence of a large
number of friends and brother Ma
sons.

More R. F. 0.
Without increasing the present
cost of delivering the mail to farm
ers, 1.000.000 more farms will be
served with rural free delivery of
mail, beginning about July 1, ac
cording to Postmaster General
Burleson. Ultimately, as the good
roads movement spreads, every
farm in the United States is to be
given free service, as are the more
advanced farming sections now.
The saving that will allow the mill
ion more patrons to be added to
the free delivery service without
additional cost is to be made by re
adjusting the present rural routes
so as to eliminate duplications and
unnecessary service.
After July 1 motor seryice,
authorized by congress, will be put
in and many more people in the
county served. It is the ambition
of the postmaster general to bring
every farm in the United States
into the R. F. D. circuits within a
few more years. The good roads
movement all over the count-y the
last few years has spread so rapid
ly that it will soon be possible to
give a mail service to every farm,
which, with the parcel post facili
ties for the direct marketing of
farm produce, will be worth mill
ions to the farming business of this
country every month.

Blessed is the Man Who Has
Found His Work and Knows It.
Twice blessed is he who can make it pay and
thrice blessed is he who can save the money after
he has made it.
This is the age of specialization. Find the line
of work that suits you best. Push that work and
make it pay. but above all keep your eye on the
results. Don t let the money slip away from you
after you have made it. Concentrate on this part
of the business as well as on the other parts.
The merchant had just as well not make good
profits if he lets them slip away from him carelessly
7] The farmer who has made good crops year arter
year should have something more to show for them
than a mere living. He should have part of each
year s earnings laid up to tide him over the lean
years that may come and then there is old age
that must be provided for. Concentrate on your
chosen work and determine to measure success by

DOES SET IN.

You’ll find a good refrigerator very
profitable. The secret of buying a
refrigerator is to get one so well built
that heat can’t get in and cold can’t
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
THE RANNEY are good Refriger
ators. They have many unusual
points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est jobbing prices. This saving we
hand on to our trade, and it is an ad
vantage. which no other dealer in this
section is able to offer.
