‘ FISH STORY COMES
FROM POPLAR BLUFF.
Webb Creath has received a
fish, says the Poplar Bluff Citi
, zen. It came duly packed in ice
and followed a “fish story” let
ter penned by Luther Bearden.
The latter is employed on the
government boat now engaged
in pulling snags at the head of
Dan river.
Saturday the boat pulled a hol
low log from the bed of the
muddy stream. There was a
i small hole in one end and Bear
den, hearing a commotion inside,
chopped a hole in the log.
He rescued a fish, an eight-1
pound cat, and it is supposed;
that it entered early in life and j
developed in its jail-like home.
However, Mr. Creath says that
the fish was fat and toothsome.
A BUSINESS MAN’S PRAYER.
Here is an invocation of Rob
ert Louis Stevenson that every
man ought to place where it will
occasionally catch his eye: ‘ ‘The
day returns and brings us the
petty round of irritating con
cerns and duties. Help us to
play the man; help us to perform
them with laughter and kind
faces. Let cheerfulness abound
with industry. Give us to go
I blithely on our business all this
! day and bring us to our resting
beds weary and content and un
dishonored and grant us in the
end the gift of sleep.”—Ex.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
, rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
; through man’s handi-work alone.
In this vaiiey which is now com
! fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
| canals and open to settlement.
1 This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
■ proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
th,e acre with an average weight
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for mind
and body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
visit this district in person and
fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad

BOWLING BENEFITS.
This athletic sport, which has
in the past few months taken a
strong hold upon the people of
Newport, has in it much to com
mend, aside from that physical
cultivation, which is ever good
for man in that it strengthens
and makes healthy both mind and
body.
There is not the danger of
over-exertion and thus injury to
the muscle that many sports in
vite, for the reason that
the finger holding the heavy
ball in ten pins gives out before
you can injure any part of your
body.
Bowling is a reputable and pop
ular recreation, requiring no in
structor but practice, and brings
into play every muscle of the
body without overtaxing the
strength of one organ at the ex
pense of another.
The woman bowler should be
encouraged, for the alleys of this
sport are as a rule of a charac
ter where a man has no hesi
, tancy in inviting and taking his
j wife.
1 It is not considered bold or
vulgar for a lady to visit public
bowling alleys and many of the'
fair sex have become warm
patronesses of this healthful and
invigorating indoor pastime,
which sends poor circulation and
indigestion to the four winds.
