NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

Where a very accurate straight line
is required the material should not
be torn or cut, but a thread must be
drawn first to act as a guide before
cutting.
If material has pattern running
one way only care must be taken
when cutting out a blouse that the
two fronts do not have the pattern
going in different directions.
AS a rule the warp threads which
run the length of the material are
stronger and more firmly woven than
the wool threads, which run from
selvedge to Selvedge. Remembering
this, all parts of a bodice which are
likely to stretch. such as sleeves, col
lars and yokes, should be cut the
length of the stuff.
Sleeves which are full at the top
or are fashioned with puff should
always be made over lining for a
good fit to be insured and the fullness
to be kept in proper position.
If a sleeve is made with a long cuff
of lace it is best to mount it over a
lining of white satin, but if trans
parent effect is wanted chiffon should
be used for the lining, as it makes the
arm look much whittier underneath.
The same rule applies to lace yoke.
Loosely woven materials or those
which are likely to fray easily are
often a source of trouble to the mex
perienced dresssmaker, for however
much is allowed for seams the threads
are apt to become unraveled almost
down to the seam stitches, To rem
edy this the raw edge should be over
cast directly the garment is cut out
before any seam is sewed up. By this
means the necessity for wide turnings
is avoided.-Chicago Daily News.

EASILY GROWN FLOWERS.
There Is a Wealth to Choose From
and a List of Those That
Richly Repay.

The beginner should try to grow a
few varieties of flowers and learn their
habits thoroughly, for in thoroughness
lies success. He should not construct
a garden in fancy out of the highly
colored plates in seed catalogue and
expect to produce it in reality. But
he should choose his plants with re-
gard to the place he will grow them
and study their needs carefully.
There is wealth to choose from.
For early spring flowers, for instance.
there are the bulbs of tulips, jonquils,
narcissi, hyacinths, crocuses, snow
drops and squills. 1t is best to plant
them in the fall; then as soon as
spring begins they begin to bloom,
and produce a surprising amount of
color The crocuses, snowdrops and
sQuillS may be planted in the lawn,
and moved down, for they flower very
early, and will continue to bloom for
several years. Jonquils and nareissi
may also be left in shrubbery or in
grass, where they are not cut, and they
will bloom many years. The bulbs
may also be planted in the early spring
any dealer will tell how.
Sweet, peas are deservedly popular,
because of their ease of culture, profu-
sion of bloom, dainty colors and de-
lightful fragrance. Plant them in any
good garden soil, fertilize well with
rich COW manure, in rows preferably
running east and west Keep the flow
ers well picked each day to prevent
seed pods forming, for, like pansies,
the vitality of the plant is impaired
by the production of seeds. The seed
should be planted very early in the
spring, in trenches three or four
inches deep, being covered over a lit.
tie at first and the trenches gradually
filled as the plants grow.
Few persons are acquainted with
the merits of the gaillardia, or blanket
flower, which is hardy perennial and
blooms in the summer in great pro.
fusion. 1t is about foot high and
has good stems for cutting. For an
old-fashioned garden the new hybrids
of French marigolds and zinnias
larkspur and fringed petunias are ex
ceedingly beautiful and furnish
wealth of bloom for cutting.-Brook
Ign Eagle.

ARKANSAS
a STATE NEWS
Schools Wanted.

1t is rumored that the meeting of
the State Farmers. Union, Aug. 81,
will adopt resolution framing a
petition to be presented to the next
legislature, asking the law makers to
provide a demonstration farm and
agricultural school in each congress
sional district in the state. The plan
as outlined is to have the legislature
appropriate certain state lands in
each congressional district to be used
for the farms. TIE legislature will
also be asked to provide sufficient
funds to purchase the stock required
and to erect barns and houses to
accommodate the students. 1t will be

Declared Void.

The third amendment to the State
constitution, which gives the gov
ernor the power to fill by appoint
ment any vacancy that may occur in
State, county or township offices, has
been declared invalid by the supreme
court of Arkansas. The decision of
the court is based upon the fact that
the amendment in question, while it
received a majority of the votes cast
on that question, did not receive a
majority OF the total number of votes
cast in the general election at which
it was submitted. The court holds
that it IS perfectly clear that the con-
stitution provides expressly that
majority of the electors voting in the
election is necessary for the adoption
of a constitutional amendment. Other
amendments, which are in the same
class, not having received majority
of the votes cast and which will
probably suffer the same fate are:
Amendment No. 2, making it neces-
sary for a voter to have poll tax
receipt, and amendment No. Z provid-
ing that all the members of the Gen
eral Assembly shall receive such pay
and mileage as may be fixed by law.

At a meeting OF stockholders of the
Rock Creek Oil and Mining Company
held at Little Rock recently, it was de-
cided to raise more money and con-
tinue the work on the we'll which is
being drilled east of that city. 1t was
decided to purchase new casing and
new drills and continue the work as it
is believed the prospect for striking
gas or oil is good. The we'll has now
been drilled to a depth of about $50
feet.
