ANTI-MOB LAW
 IS ENDORSED
Pine Bluff Ministry and Prominent Citizens Send Petition to Little
 Rock by Mgr. J. M. Lucey.

While in Little Rock today as one of the delegates to the Arkansas Good Roads convention, Mgr. J. M. Lucey of this city, will present a petition to Senator Kie Oldham of Pulaski county, urging him to secure the passage of the bill now pending to prevent mob violence by immedl- ate trials in rape cases.
 The petition is also in the nature of an endorsement of the bill by the ministry of Pine Bluff and in addi- tion to being signed by every min- ister in this city, the names of many of the most prominent people of Jef- ferson county are attached thereto
 In a recent communication to The Graphic, Mgr. Lucey urged the He dwelt at length on the detri- mental effect of mob law on, not only community, but on the com monwealth. His paper was one of many well-defined points and his in- terest in the anti-mob law bill will probably result in it's passage.
 The bill, among other things. provides for the trial of rapist l within ten days after an alleged crime. A special term of court is authorized for that purpose. Mgr Lucey is thoroughly familiar with the proposed legislation and his ideas are universally endorsed in this city and state.

mphis, Jan. 29.-The crest of the
 ] is threatening to submerge thou Bands of acres on both banks of the Mississippi river in the Memphis terri tory.
 It caused the abandonment of the poolroom situated across from this pity today, the patrons and proprie- tora being forced to use skiffs in get kingv vIoQt of the building. Information fsached here today, confirmed by the |St. Francis Levee Board, is to the effect that the town levee at Luxora broke Sunday morning. Information which cannot be confirmed is to the effect that there has been a break in a levee at Bledsoe, Ark, on the Mis- sissippi between here and Helena. This is regarded by people interested there as the worst news yet received from the inundated districts.
 No alarm, however, is felt at Luxora, according to a telephone report re- ceived by Harry Pharr, the St. Fran cis Levee Boards engineer.
 "The levee at LuXora," said Mir. Pharr, twas built by the citizens for emergency use. They are still pro- tected by the main levee. I do not anticipate any real danger for the i time being"
 The government boat Titan is at Modoc, Ark. More than 10000 sacks have been purchased by the govern ment to be used by the Titan and Graham in strengthening the levees by filling them with sand and plac- ing them in the weak spots.
 Thsf fofices of Forecaster Emery and Capt lConnor of the government ser vice has been deluged with anxious in- quiries from planters and others in- terested in Arkansas property, and the reply has been given that although present conditions are not as good as might be, that the high water record of 1903, 4O.1 on the local guage, is not expected.

CHANGE In TRIMMINGS
New Fashions Will Show Straight
Lines for the Coming Fall and
Spring Raiment.

At this time the jumper has GER
tainly reached the zenith of it's pop
ularity, and it's wane is inevitable.
Looking at the newest skirts, especial
ly on plated lines, and at the smart
est of late tailored summer coats, the
shrewd shopper realizes that straight
lines will mark the fall raiment and
run over into next spring.
The overturned lingerie frocK,
especially with trimming running
around rather than up and down, cut
ting the figure into a sort OF human
checker board, has seen it's best days.
In mulls, sheer batiste, soft lawns and
other clinging fabrics, with fine soft
laces, the effect of the cross trimming
is not so bad, but nevertheless many
women have awakened to realiza-
ton that somehow the much-trimmed
lingerie dress has robbed them OF
height and given them a "dumpy'
look.
There is no doubt that house
dresses and evening frocks for early
fall wear will show vertical trimming
and a distinct return to the long
lines. Particularly will this be true OF
silks. satins and cloths.

MANURE SCIENCE.
How Different Feeds Influence Value
of the Fertilizer.

The Maine station has recently is
sued bulletin describing a feeding
experiment One part of the expert
ment, at least, is very interesting. 1t
deals with the influence feed has on
the fertilizing value of manure. Figur-
ing the elements at what they would
cost on the market, it was found that
a ton of hay contains $40 worth Of
plant food elements. 1t is not stated
what kind of hay was used, but the
supposition is that it was mixed hay.
Spring wheat bran contains $11.80
worth; fall wheat bran, $3.50 worth;
and cotton seed meal, $3.50 worth Of
fertilizing elements to the ton. In this
experiment no consideration was TAX
en- of the value the manure would
possess as an improver of the humus
content of the soil, which will be very
considerable indeed.
This shows the reader that if he
needs feeds for his cattle and at the
same time it is necessary to pay some
attention to the fertility of his soil, he
should purchase those feeds which are
most valuable as improvers of the ma
nure voided by the stock. 1t was found
that hay was richer in potash than
any other element, containing more
potash than both nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid. Spring wheat bran had
nearly as much phosphoric acid as
both nitrogen and potash. Cotton seed
meal contained almost twice as much
nitrogen as both phosphoric acid and
potash. Hence, if the soil needs hui
mus and perhaps potash, feed literally
of hay; if it needs phosphoric acid,
let bran enter largely into the ration
If it needs nitrogen, a great deal of
cotton seed meal should be fed.

The New Neck Line.

A charming line of neck decolletage
is the newest one, dropping front and
back into a low circular line, that is
lust over the half circle limit, and con-
sequently rises we'll up on the sAoul-
ders. This line is often given to the
tucker or guimpe of tulle, lace or
mousseline as well, while the corsage
does not always go higher than a
corselet passing under the arms. When
that happens the guimpe also fits low
on the upper arm and becomes part OF
the short close sleeve drapery. On a
lovely figure the effect is charming.
When the corsage mounts up it also
fits over the shoulder in a long droop-
Ing line and has lace net or chiffon for
sleeve finishes. The bodice in both in
stances is much trimmed back and
front, and opens, of course, in the
back. All tapering lines vanish with
these new short wasted bodices. SO
one must be reconciled to that feature.

A DIVERSIFIED GARMENT
Little Change That Transforms Eve.
ming Bodice Into Useful, Dainty
DemitoiIette.

Everything nowadays is arranged
to save trouble, from the latest house
maids brush to the supply of dainty
little dress details, that require only a
minimum amount of labor to unite
them to an existing possession, or
what may well be termed a skeleton
costume.
Ready made chemisettes, guimpes
and sleeveless are conveniently to
hand for Transforming an evening
bodice into useful demitoilette of
such pretty, dainty fashioning, and
really, taking all things into due ac-
count, of quite moderate price.
Recently, there was on exhibit in a
shop charming rucked chiffon
evolvement, comprising q chemisette
and full-puff elbow sleeves, in pretty
mouse gray tone, that was requi-
sitioned to fill in the low decolletage
of lovely gray chiffon velvet evening
dress, and so afford it the double use
of smart afternoon reception gown,
while several of the evening garni-
lures are of extremely attractive char
acter.
Particularly was this the case in a
little sequin bolero fitted with cape
sleeves. In white, with silver and
iridescent sequins, this promised the
happiest completion to white satin
duchesse creation, a black taffeta
gown asking the service of a jet and
gold sequin drapery, concluding in
shoulder straps and handsome fringed
ends in front.
Simple, straightforward berthas,
either of lace or sequin embroidery,
also serve to effect a delightful finish
ing note to low cut evening bodice;
while artificial flower garnitures are
presented in an endless variety Of
realistic expressions. This is not to
be wondered at, seeing the high state
of perfection now achieved in the cult
of f1oWermaking.

FARM ITEMS.

Do not wait for the wagon to whis-
Gle for grease before putting it on.
We are told that in bnilding the
great dam which holds back the wa
tiers of the Nile for irrigation, focks OF
sheep and goats were driven back and
forth to pack down the earth. A roller
with teeth like sleeps hoof has now
been invented for packing oiled roads.
The Connecticut experiment station
states that 5000 tons of cotton-seed
meal are annually used as fertilizer by
tobacco growers in that state at cost
of S155,0OO. In 1899 the acreage cost
was $2280 per ton, making nitrogen
cost 1873 cents a pound. Last year
the price had risen to $31 per ton of
meal or 1914 a pound for nitrogen.
No soil that will produce variety
of crops should be farmed continually
with one crop. One writer has esti-
mated that ten crops of one kind of
United States.
1t has been shown that cowpeas ma
ture in about 80 days. This proves
that the seed can be sown after an
early crop of oats has been removed
and a heavy growth will result by the
time the farmer is ready to fall pillow.
The farmer who practices rotation
of corn, small grain, corn, small grain,
clover two years and pasture two
years and then repeats, will never be
confronted with a WORKOUT farm.

Kevt.ote of Good Dress.

Simplicity in dressing should be the
keynote for girl who would show
smartness and good breeding when
out in the evening at summer amuse-
ments. There should be no rips or
tears, and she should be perfectly put
together as to jacket and collar. Her
belt should be trig, and there must
be no yawning discrepancies or mussi-
ness. No detail is too trivial to be at
tended to, and a girl frocked with this
care, though wearing Bingham, is more
attractive than one in befrilled and
lacy garments costing 90 times the
amount if the frock is dingy and STOP
py, showing unmistakaDle signs OF
carelessness and untidiness.

Protect the Cows.

During fly time it is a good idea to
provide an enclosed shed in which the
cows can find refuge during the heat
of the day. Hang a blanket over tho
door and the COW passing under this
will brush off the flies. She will spend
two or three hours every day in this
retreat. In the evening she will go to
the pasture and eat more in an hour
than she could have eaten in three

shaft or handle pieces, the front ones
resting about three inches from the
ground and the rear ones securely
braced, as shown in the cut.
If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,
but we find it better to have per-
manent bed from floor to top of han
dies, with removable side boards to
slip on for use in handling bulky
stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags of

handled with this type of barrow, as
