Household Suggestions.
Mrs. Whitman)


Perhaps some of my suggestions
may help a few over hard places as
they have me.
One of my comforts in the kitchen
is low chairs to sit upon while peeling
vegetables. These chairs can be made
by saving off the legs of ordinary
kitchen chairs.
In bottling pickles, catsup etc.,
boil tn cork and press into the bot
ties while hot, which seals them air
tight.
Shelves were lacking in my kitchen
so l nailed narrow board from one
leg to the other at both ends of side
table about a foot from the floor
placed boards across these, covered
with old-cloth, and there l keep the
many small things needed handy in
preparing a meal.
A home made lounge with plenty of
cushions on the back or side screen
covered porch would afford a few
moments of comfort which might be
taken there each day, providing the
back yard is nicely kept and a few
flowers growing there.
To make a piece-bag | took a piece
of unbleached muslin one yard square,
hemmed all around, put pockets of
different sizes over it, each outlined
with name of what the contents are
to be, such as Calico braid, worsted
buttons, etc.: and tackled fiat to my
sewing room door. 1t saves room and
is always handy.
| have a small tablet and pencil
hanging near the kitchen table and
jot down things needed from town as
they occur to my mind. In this way
no important OR needed thing is for
gotten.
l took some old catalogues. Into one
put recipes, into another farm sug-
gestions, into another good advice
taken from my many magazines, into
another fancy work, and into yet an
other selected poems.
| have a large family, do all my own
work, yet find time to read and paste,
and enjoy it, too.

look much better. If it is wool or dark
material the dust gets ground in, and
very soon the whole dress has rusty
appearance that with little pains and
care you might have avoided. Press
ing is a great renovator, and skirts
particularly need it once in a while,
as they get hard wear and are apt to
be pulled out of shape and get knee
noles, which certainly are not pretty.
There is another advantage about air.
ing your clothes that is most import
ant 1t keeps them fresh and clean.
Nothing is more disagreeable than an
odor of cooking or stale perfume on
any ones clothing. To be fresh and
clean and neat is the way to be always
attractive, and every girl can be and
should be all three.

Airinu Your Clothes.

DO you ever think of airing your
clothes? No? You think that when
you wear them they get aired. So
they do, but not thoroughly and prop
erly as they ought to. To keep your
clothes in really good condition you
should brush and shake and air them
every little while. The dress or suit
YOU wear every day should have a
daily shaking and brushing and thor
ough going over once week. You
will be rewarded for your pains, as
your clothes will last much longer and

To make alfalfa hay, cut in the

put in barns with as little handling as
possible, before the valuable leaves
become too dry or brittle.

Making Farm Life Attractive.
Helen WattS.)


Good companionship is an absolute
necessity to the full mental, moral and
physical development of the human
family.
Nobody will be so bold as to claim
that the social life of the country gen
orally is what it should or could be.
In but few communities, comparative
ly, is it possible for the people, old or
young, to get together in a social way
even occasionally. In most neighbor-
hoods there is absolutely no place
where this natural desire can be graft
fed, and the sooner this lack is rec
ognized and provided for in rural COM
munities, the sooner the "focking to
the cities" will cease. 1t is due, in
nearly every case, to the dead-level
monotony of the work-a-day grind and
the absolute lack of the social life
which sends the boy or girl out of the
country home into the maelstrom OF
the crowded city. The hardships and
deprivations of the farm life certainly
are not the cause of the outgoing, for
the hardships and deprivations of the
city are UNNECESSARILY greater; but IN
the whirl of the multitude, these are
not so keenly felt as the lesser ones
which must De borne III SOllIuue Ill Cue
isolation of the country.
Every school house in the country
should be general gathering place for
the people old and young, where good
cheer and social communings might be
found. In a community where young
people can meet and pass their spare
time in chatter, music, games, and So
cial communings, you will find
bright, intelligent, wide-awake people,
who take an interest in the home and
a pride in their surroundings. A lee
ture, readings, stereopticon and graph
ophone entertainments, singing socl-
cites, spelling matches, social suppers,
and any of the thousand ways OF fur
nishing inexpensive entertainments
that would draw the people together
and give them an interest in life
something to look forward to, after
hard days work, entertaining, in
structive, would wonderful
ly brighten and broaden them, and
there would be less inclination to go
out into the world in search OF the
things which, in the present Isolated
conditions, are lost to them, no matter
how necessary they may be.
Rural free delivery and the farm
telephone are steps in the right dlrec-
ton, but nothing will ever take the
place of real, social personal meetings.

More Work For the Courts.

Three officials of Chicot county have been suspended pending trials on charges of malfeasance in office, and Governor Davis has appointed men to fill the positions pending the trial of the cases. The trouble grows out of the recent mandamus suits brought against County Judge w. c. Street. and Sheriff M. c. Strong, in which it was alleged that Sheriff Strong was S4S,000 short in his account with the county.
 Official notice came to Governor Davis to the effect that indictments had been returned by the Chicot County Grand Jury against County Judge W. G. Street. and County Treas urer Abner Gaines, charging malfeas- ance in office. Circuit Judge z. T. Wood at once suspended the two men, and the notice was forwarded to Gov Davis. The suspension of these two officials follows directly on the sus- pension from office recently by Judge Wood of Sheriff M. c. Strong. Acting on the official notice of the suspen- sion of these three officials, Governor Davis appointed men to hold the po- sitions pending the hearing.
