May 25—People often talk of a bushel of money but no one never saw one until last week. Benjamin Smith aged 76 who makes his living selling rags and scrap iron had the money in his three story house which he owns until bugulars got wise. A few nights ago he frightened them off and policemen who eame insisted that he put the money in a bank. The cops found two sacks, one ordinary money sack and one two bushel sack. The smaller was full of money and s wed up. The larger was half full of coins of all denominations, nickles, dimes, quarters, pennies and half dollars, and weighed fifty-five pounds. The officials of First Trust and saving Bank took one look at that money and saw it wo ld be a days work. We'll put it in a vaul't tonight. Come back and count it to morrow. It's quitting time now. Mr. and Mrs. Norris Colp, and sons J. B. and Floyd, left for Searidan, Wyoming, the 16, to be gone 3 months to handle ties. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY 72127 Nashville. Term. May 23 — Leading white women of Arkansas met in Little Rock in April, organized a branch of the State Committee on Interracial Cooperation, and gave to the public a vigorous address demanding for the people of all races a square deal and the full protection of law. Stating that public sentiment concerning the Negro has to King been formed by prejudice, passion, indifference and ignorance, they declared their purpose to study the question with open mind and help create a public sentiment which "lessen the unhappy conditions about us, make impossible the present forms of lawlessness and disrespect for the courts, and remove contempt for, and exploitation of human life." Among the most serious phases of the race problem at present, said the committee is, "a lack of respect and protection for Negro Womanhood." They therefore pledged themselves to emphasize a single standard in morals for both men and women, to the end that the integrity of races may be assured." Affirming that the test of character of an individual or a race is to be found in its attitude toward those who are weaker and who se opportunities have been less the committee appealing for a spirit of justice, helpfulness and co-operation for the Negro that shall be worthy of the white man's larger opportunity and longer period of development. Mrs. W. D. Reeves of Helena was elected chairman, and Mrs. Clio Harper of Little Rock, Secretary. The membership of the committee included prominent representatives of the various civic and religious organizations. The plan to be followed complements MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." PROGRAM OF THE MT. OLIVE S. S. CONVENTION The Program of the 24th Annual Session of the Mt. Olive S.

The use of Chaulaumogra oil has been known for some time to have some virtue in the treatment of leprosy, and recently it has, been discovered that there are a great many points of similarity between the germs of leprosy and those of tuberculosis. This has led to some government experiments in the direction of combating tuberculosis which will be conducted at Hawaii. Iron Ore From the Alps. A new iron ore field has been discovered in Switzerland which is estimated to contain 47,000,000 tons, which will assure to Switzerland, at prewar consumption rate, sufficient iron ore to last for 45 years. The federal council suggests a provision by the government of 1,200,000 francs upon condition that a total capital of 4,000,000 francs is raised for exploitation. Encouraging the Hen. The modern method of increasing the quantity of eggs that may be obtained from hens is turning on electric lights in their pens in the middle of the night, thereby awakening them, to the end that they eat an extra meal and thus approach closer than ever before the ideal of laying an egg a day, week after week. One cannot but think that this lengthening of the working day for hens is a device of the same genius who discovered that there was no need of arising at dawn to feed the poultry. He simply waited until after the henyard denizens had gone to roost, and then scattered their morning meal. The hens found their breakfast waiting for them in the morning, while the ingenious one arose and went about the affairs of the day only when he felt so inclined. No chanticleer called him to work.
