I ESKIMOS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
Have No Fear of Death, Are Childlike
in Nature, Humorous and
Inquisitive.
In Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
i summer, the Eskimos had a sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments ol
propriety. They had an idea that when
| the sun came back its movements
! were directed by an invisible power,
but they had no tangible conception of
' a God. They had no belief in a future
life, either of reward or punishment.
Today they are religious, truthful, kind
to their children and to the aged. They
are ambitious to learn; they are prac
tical, extremely industrious, sanitary
in their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu
berculosis is quite common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools, if broken, are
neatly repaired. When at Herschel
island or Fort McPherson they eat the
white man’s food with great relish. Id
, summer they eat their fish and blubber
| raw and in winter frozen,
j The Eskimos have no fear of death;
if told that death is approaching they
will respond ■with a complacent smile.
They are a very happy people. Their
natures are childlike and they do not
continue in the same frame of mind
for two minutes at a time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
inquisitive. Iiieir emuuuua me .^uu
den and short-lived—uproariously hap
py one moment and almost crying the
. next.
SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed in Scien
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.
The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
ican from recent studies as follows:
I “A Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that sal
I mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me
\ ters a second for at least 14 meters.
A Canadian,-G. P. Napier, from inves
tigations in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which a sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
tance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, H. von Bayer of the
United States bureau of fisheries de
1 dared that the velocity of the current
in fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan
tially in agreement. From his own
studies on fishways in Massachusetts
Emerson Stringham found that a com
mon species of alewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet a second, about the
limit for fishways.”
Get Out of the Rut.
Have you ever stopped to consider
: how much like a machine you are be
j coming?
True, your daily duties are perform
ed in a way which seems to suit the
boss, but you jog on in the same old
' way, day in and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
IIow long do you figure that you can
continue to make good by this course 1
i Ever think of changing the methods
| used by you for the past several
i years, and which lifted you out of the
! ranks of the ordinary at the time you
! adopted them, but which are passe at
the present time?
i Oh, you are becoming too prosaic,
i There is not enough variety in youi
; life.
I Seek outdoor exercise; you need it,
j and you should mingle with men ol
up-to-date ideas; you should visit otli
: er establishments in your line of work
! and see how things are being done
there.
You are in a rut.
Get out before it is too late.
Every-Day Courage.
The courage of the rush forward, a
moment of high purpose born of a
sudden impulse, that is one sort. Thee
there is the stick-to-lt courage, and
that is of great value. Still an
other is the simple resolution to do
the obvious right and best thing at the
i moment, without demur or timid de
lay, and that is the most importanl
of all.
The quiet courage of every day
that does its best hour by hour, and
accepts <as part of the day’s wort
the losses and penalties that the
steadfast doing right must ofter
bring—this is the highest courage oi
all. It wins no medals, it is never
lauded as heroism, even its posses
j sors seldom think pf it as braverj
I or fortitude, yet it is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat
and makes the common life of the com
mon people strong and safe.
Japanese Village.
Few people realize that in the United
States there is a village composed en
tirely of Japanese, who live their lives
just as they did before leaving the
Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot
of interest is north of the long pier
a mile from Santa Monica. Here is
the home of a number of Japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
and the dally routine of their lives art
carried out as though the little vll
lage were on the far shore of Nippon
1 On Sundays are to be seen the native
sports of the Japanese. The geishs
girls serve tea and bonbons to visit
ors, while the young men display theii
i prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
1 other oriental pastimes.
TUCKERMAN DEPARTMENT

!
Mrs. Dr. K. K. Kimberlin and two
Children, Helen and Kenneth, return
ed home last week from St. Louis, In
dianapolis, and other northern points,
where they had been during the pre
ceding month visiting among rela- ,
tives.
' Little Irma Neil Seats has been
dangerously ill during the past few
days and for a short time it was
thought that she could not survive.
She is considerably improved at pres
'ent and her physician thinks she will
soon be restored to her normal condi- ;
tion again.
I
I Dr. L. C. Smith, who has resided
here during the past few months and
practiced dentistry, was called to th< !
colors last week by Uncle Sam. He
was sent to Camp Travis, at San An-!
tonix>, Texas, where he began service. I
He is a member of the medical corps
and will follow the work of his pro
fession while in the government ser
1 vice.
Otto Herrington has been on. the ;
^sick list diiring the past ten days,
suffering from an attack of malaria.
He has been confined to his room all j

much improved at present.
Dr. W. H. Crigler was recently ap- j
pointed deputy state veterinary. He
is empowered with authority to act,
where contagious diseases are raging.
U/\ nrill im V*i o cnrtM/ioe
free in the vaccination of hogs while !
the war continues. He believes he is j
' doing a patriotic duty for his country i
by trying to keep hog cholera stamp
ed out in that section of the state
where he practices his profession. He
'is also in touch with the market for
mules, cattle and hogs and will assist
'the producers in disposing of their
surplus along this line. Through his j
efforts a stock-buyer wll be here next j
Saturday, who is interested in mules
especially. Any one with surplus an
imals of that kind might dispose of
them then if they so desire.
Miss Sallie Choate began teaching
the summer school at the Bandy school
house last Monday.
Miss Alta Roberts is able to be up j
and about after having had a very
severe tussel with an attack of mala- ;
ria, which kept her in her room for |
more than a week.
D. Joe Slayden recently returned
home from Little Rock, where he took
a special course of book-keeping. He
will probably move to Clover Bend in
the near future and' take charge of
that part of the work in the newly
acquired business which Slayden Bros,
came in possesfion of when they pur
' chased the Tucker farm, which is lo
I cated at that place.
I W. P. Davis was a passenger to
Little Rock last Saturday afternoon,
j where he went to drive a new car back
! for the Tuckerman garage.
I Miss Lucy McElroy, of Little Rock,
is visiting at the home of her uncle,
C. A. Tyer, at this place.
| John T. Puckett and wife are the
parents of a bran new daughter, who
made her appearance in their home
early in the week.
Mrs. Corez Prewitt left several
days ago to join her husband, who is
in the army and who is stationed on
t the eastern coast of our nation just
now.
j John M. Covey recently disposed of
'his interest in the Princess Theatre
which will soon open for the purpose
of showing the movies. George L.
Smith has entire control at present.
Oscar Cole accompanied W. P. Da
1 vis to Little Rock last Saturday and
: returned Sunday evening. They drove
! a new car, which the Tuckerman ga
rage recently sold to the former,
f Contractor Dwyer is making very
satisfactory headway with the con
struction work of the new school
building. Both wings of the building
'are practically completed to the se
cond floor. Unless something un
looked for happens the building will
be readv for use sometime during: the
. autumn months.
! The City Dads are planning to
build a concrete walk across the le
vee leading west from the business
part of town. If this is done those
owning homes on the west side will
probably make much improvements of
'a similar kind.
; Miss Maude Tyer left here recently
for Searcy, where she went for the
purpose of taking a normal course
training preparatory to teaching.
1 Mrs. Maggie Drake is arranging to
move to the Yellow school house
neighborhood, where she will have
charge of the school during the sum
mer.
Miss Bartholomew left this week for
her home at Memphis, after an ex
tended visit at the home of Chas.
Graham.
Oscar Mitchell, who is a member of
Uncle Sam’s navy, and who has been
stationed at Great Lakes, Illinois,
came in early in the week to visit his
father and numerous other relatives
in this section.
Mrs. M. F. Moore and two youngest
children left Wednesday for Varner,
Tincoln county, where they expect to
remain during the remainder of the
summer.
Mrs. Overguard, of Humboldt, Kan
sas, accompanied by her little son,
came in a few days ago to visit rela
tives in this section. Mrs. Overguard
is the daughter of Uncle Johnny Gra
ham and wife and mother of Mrs.
Walter Coe.
E. V. Holt and wife returned here
last Saturday from Little Rock, where
they went to accompany Mrs.'Ida
Dowell home. The latter has been in
a hospital there for some time, where
she underwent treatment for injuries
received in an automobile accident.
She is greatly improved which is very
gratifying to her friends.
Taylor Tinsley left last week for
Little Rick, where he was mustered
into Uncle Sam’s service. He was as
signed a position in the Aviation
Corps and left for his training camp
to begin his duties.
James Buckhalter arrived home last
Saturday from Camp Beauregard,
where he hq^ been locate with other
Jackson county boys since last au
tumn. He received an honorable dis
charge because of physical disabilities
which incapacitated him from fur-,
ther service.
Mrs. W. H. Crigler visited among
friends here several days last week.
She left Saturday for Walnut Ridge,
where she expects to reside in the fu
ture.
Mrs. Joe Slayden has been on the
sick list during the past week, suf
■f DVl n CT fl’Am art offonlr A'P mnlevin
She is still unable to be out but is con- J
valescing in a satisfactory way.
The stockholders of the Citizens’
Light and Power Company met last
Friday and ratified the agreement
entered into by its directors with the
Arkansas Light & Power Company to
build a transmission line to this place
from Newport and furnish current to
operate the local plant. The proposed
line will probably be built before win
ter.
The dry weather which has been
ffcevalent for more than a month, has
done great damage to the early corn
crop in this section. The plant has
been damaged so greatly that the
yield will be very small indeed.
Gardens are burnt up and the hay
crop is seriously injured. Even late
corn is beginning to show the effects
of the drouth and unless rain comes
soon the corn cron will almost be an
entire failure in this section. Cotton
does not seem to be affected by the
dry and hot weather but the cool
nights of the past week is affecting it.
Many farmers are very pessimistic
abiut their prospects at present.
Since the farm work has been les
sened by laying-by much of the crops,
there seems to be a surplus of labor
in this community. Uncle Sam is go
ing to limit the coal supply next win
ter and inasmuch as this is still a
wooded country people should get
busy and lay in their winter’s supply
of wood for fuel. It will be difficult
to. get next winter unless the weather
is open much of the time then.
