Poor Colorado.
On the principle that charity
should begin at home, Americans
ought not to ignore the war now
in progress in Colorado. In
some respects it presents issues
of more importance in this coun
try than any that have been
fa raised in Mexico.
A battle between striking min
ers and state troops, in which
many lives have been lost, could
not have taken place if all the
right were on one side and all
the wrong on the other. The
trouble is of long standing. It,
proceeds from a determination
on the part of labor to organize.
It has been intensified by the
enrollment of the state on the
side of the mine owners’ inter
\ ests, which “are willing to sac
rifice all their investments in
m Colorado” rather than yield on
r this point.
Although Colorado is profes
sionally devoted to the social up
lift, some of its ideas of govern
ment and justice are as crude .
as those of Coahuila or Sonora.
One of its judges spends most of
his time telling people of other ;
p states how to conduct their pub
lic affairs. Others hold day and
Jy night courts to support an indus
||hf ‘ trial theory that has been dis- 1
carded throughout the civiliz
0 ed world.
If reason, humanity and true
|t Americanism were influential in
controlling public opinion in ;
that commonwealth, there would
have been peace with honor in
its mining regions long ago.—

At a regular meeting of the
managers of the Elks and Ma
son teams the following officials
were appointed:
Umpires: Jack Sheridan
Ware, Masons; Rexall O’Lough
lin McCuistion, Elks
Official scorer, Gus P. Coffin.
These two officials have had
many and variegated experi
ences in handling ball games, and
the dceisions rendered by them
will be held undisputable. G.
Logan H. Crusoe Robinson will
have his company of Mexican
volunteers to uphold this state
ment.
Sydney Comiskey Mack will
peddle tickets to the game be
ginning as soon as they are off
the press and it is to be hoped
that everyone will “come a
cross”. A receipt will be given
to each purchaser on demand.
Dr. Chas. E. Carroll and W. N.
Dunaway will have charge of
the financial end of the game
at the ball grounds, and all will
have to hold tickets or two-bits.
Those not having either will
have to carry water to the spec
tators and ball players
Jan Young and Clay R. Pate
will have charge of the refresh
ments and everything sold will
be guaranteed under the pure
food and drugs act. Dr. Eiwin
will be field physician and sur
On the day of the game, Fri
day, May 8th, A. D., 1914, all
Elks and Masons are requested
to form line of parade at the
Elks Home promptly at 2:30 p.
m., and march to the park. The
Elks will keep open house to all
Masons on that date.
Both managers announce that
their respective teams are in
the pink of condition and sever
al scouts for the big leagues have
already engaged rooms at the
hotel for the day of the game.
This will be the big event of
the season and everybody will
be on hand. BE SURE JHAT

BOSTON BEAUTY SPEC
IALIST TO VISIT NEWPORT
Walker’s Pharmacy Looks For
ward To Large Crowds Dur
ing Her Week's Stay At
The Rexali Store
i Will Give Number of Free P’acial
Massages and Personal Ad
vice in Your Home by
Appointment.
(Advertisement. (
An opportunity which is sure
to prove as beneficial as it is
rare will be afforded the women
jof Newport and vicinity when
Miss Fay Hendrix, the much
talked of Beauty Specialist, now
touring Arkansas as representa
tive of the United Drug Compa
ny of Boston,—creators of the
many Harmony Beauty Requis
ites and equally well-known toil
et preparations, starts her pub
lic demonstrations for the week
| commencing May 11th, as the
guest of Walker’s Pharmacy, the
Rexali Store and sole distributor
of the Harmony Toilet Products
in Newport.
Miss Hendrix contends that -it
is the privilege of every woman
to take advantage of anything
that will tend to lend a touch of
added beauty to the skin; but,
says Miss Hendrix “extreme
care should be exercised to
VIIUUkSC UlilJ DUUI cpaiauuno
that really do help nature in the
beautifying of your complexion.
“Of course no one will ques
tion the assertion that the wo
man with the clean, well-pre
served skin is a much admired
person anywhere,” and, she con
tinues, “if the woman of today
would only take the care to treat
the skin to the benefits of a good
massage that she takes in read
ing the household section of the
paper, we would see fewer wrin
kles, and more, yes, a great
many more women young at
fifty.”
We have no doubt about Miss
Hendrix’ ability to offer the wo
men of Newport some very valu
able advice, and Walker’s Phar
macy will, we feel sure, have a
store full of the “fairer sex” j
during Miss Hendrix’ stay at
the Rexall Store.
Dr. Walker tells us that he
has a real beauty treat in store I
for the women of Newport, so j
you’d better get ready for Miss !
Hendrix' arrival, ladies. 29d6 j

cheapest paint to use:
A certain bank president had
his house painted with lead-and

job cost $400.
It lasted three years and was
then repainted! with Devoe Lead
and-Zinc Paint at a cost of $350.
en years later, and the paint is
still in good condition.
Lead and oil, three years,
$400.
Devoe, ten years, $3.50.
Better use Devoe for your
