PRESIDENT CREATES
ARKANSAS FOREST
Preserve at South of Ozark
Range Comprises 100000
Acres.
Timber Worth 81, 100000
Now Can Be Trebled in
Value.

The President yesterday signed proc
lamatiOn which creates the ozark Ma
tiOnal Forest in Arkansas. The two east
eruInost national fOrests-OZark and Ar
kansas National-were combined last
December, but the President signature
was not affixed to the proclamation IN
til yesterday.
The new national forest covers an
area Of 5000 acres. 1t lies between the
Arkansas and White rivers, and en-
braces all Of Johnson, Newton. Searcy,
and Van Buren, counties. The forest en-
braces the Boston mountains and sew
sEal other ridges at the extreme south
OF the Ozark range of Missouri.
The area included in the new Ozark
forest IS natural forest land. for the
most part covered with unbroken stands
OF hardwood and short lear pine. Oak.
hickory, elm, gum, maple. and ash are
the predominating trees, while the pine
Is found in limited areas in the south
eastern part Of the forest.
Timber Worth SI,soo,OOo
The timber is estimated to be worth
not less than s. 50O.OC0. Just as it stands.
and may bring S5.OO8OOO II properly
y
who are now selling the timber do not
realize the value of their possessions,
and are accepting $50 TO $500 per 1000
board feet, and IN some cases 800 to
500 per acre.
Samuel J. Record, supervisor OF the
Arkansas National Forest, viii also
be in charge OF the Ozark. and will con-
tinue TO have his headquarters at Fort
Smith. It IS thought that he will have
four to six guards added to his force
10 begin the administration OF the new
forest IN addition to those who have
been appointed on the Arkansas Ma
tiOnai Forest These men viii be natives
OF the State.
The Ozark and Arkansas forests win
give the State a total national soresS
area OF nearly 100000 avres, but all of
the land is not under Governmen conrol,
as considerable areas have ben aiken
up under various claims.
Includes River Sources.
The headwaters OF Buffalo fork
White river. and Little Red river, are
included in the Ozark forest. as vel
as numerous smaller streams. On &C
count OF the more frequent occurrence
OF FIRE and the larger area OF denuded
land on the south side. the streams are
nearly all muddy, testifying to the rapid
erosion which is in marked contrast tC
the clear sparkling water OF Buffalo
fork
The streams are not used now fol
developing water power. but in all prob
ability they viii be of great import
ance for this use In the near future.
The new forest brings the total ares
OF the national forests in the United
States up TO 164. sos, $50 acres. Practically
all of this land is located in the Rocky
mountains and Pacific coast region, ant
all OF II is west Of the Mississippi.

The Fourth Estate repeats a good
story told by Bob" Davis, formerly
of the Call and now on the editorial
staff of Munsey's. While Davis was
connected with a paper in rough

asked for some old clothes, altho his
own We're fairly good. The staff con-
tributed, and, to the surprise of every
one. the stranger pulled out IS and
paid for one years subscription to
the paper. Then. having donned the
contributed clothing, he hastily de-
parted. He had been gone but a little
while when the sheriff came in looking
for a horse thief. His description fitted
the stranger to a nicely.
"He was in here" said the fore
man, and went UP the street when
he left. If you hurry you will catch
him
Davis was surprised.
why did you say he went up the
street, when you saw him go the other
way?" he asked the foreman.
I'll" retorted the foreman. with
freezing dignity. you wouldn't have
me go back on a subscriber, would
you?"

Delegates to Eighth District
Republican Convention
Selected Tuesday.
MANY ARE MUCH ELATED.
THE MANNER IN WHICH CROMER
DEFEATED THOSE MEN WHO
soLTED THE TICKET CAUSES
ENEMIES TO LIKE HIM.

Primaries will be held in Delaware
county Tuesday to elect delegates to
the Eighth District Republican Con-
vcntion and to the state convention.
Reports received here today indicate
that very little effort is being made to
defeat exCongressman George w.
Cromer of Muncie. Since he won out
in the convention at which the dis
trict was reorganized his opponents in
Delaware County have realized that he
occupied winning position.
1t is said that many Republicans in
the district who never have had a
high regard for Cromer are secretly
olated over the defeat he admins
tered to the members of his party
who bolted the ticket in the last state
election. 1t will be a big surprise to
the party leaders If CrOmer does not
secure all of the delegates i'll his own
county. His followers are in the sad
die in the other counties, but they
have not indicated whom they will
support for the congressional nOmlna-
ton. The Madison County Commit
tee has Endorsed the candidacy OF A.
IT, Vestal, of Anderson, indicating that
the county will have no other candi-
date Vestal. however, has not elect
ed any delegates. and it is conceded
that he will not be able TO land the
nomination unless Cromer and his fol-
lowers support him.
The situation is one Of the most in
teresting in the state, and no one
seems to be able to predict the out,
come, as Cromer has not intimated
to any one what course he will pur-
sue.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Social
Washington shifts the air of two bat
tles-one for supremacy, the other on
cigarette smoking women of the smart
set. The rivals in the first contest
are Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Mrs.
Albert J. Beveridge; in the latter, the
older social set versus the younger.
The cigarette will win. This is al
ready conceded. It has become a part
Of every smart social function. Mem
bers of the 400, as a rule, do not
indulge in its use when gentlemen
are present, but the invitation, Wont
you have a cigarette?" is as common
at social functions as Wont you have
another cup of tea?"
? Mrs. Nicholas Longworth gives
charming receptions and serves cigar
cites. She is even known to have en-
joyed them. She is no exception, but
by reason Of her social prominence
her case is all the more noteworthy.
Why the elder social set should rise
at this late date to make a fuss about
cigarette smoking causes wonder and
no little merriment among the young
women in the smart social set. This
is free America, isn't it?" they ask;
and we will do as we please" they
say.

The Skin and Liquids

The skin has a remarkable power of
absorbing liquids brought into contact
with It, Fluids SO taken up are in
part detained locally and in part enter
the tiny vessels (blood and LYMPH that
lead to the large blood vessels. In the
days of long ago blood baths were
used. but their employment was found
ed on ignorance. The most important
constituents of blood cannot pass
through the skin unless they have been
previously treated chemically. Lo-
tons of blood SO prepared are III the
present day used by some beauty low
ers. Milk baths are more in agree
ment with science and common sense
They are not reconcilable with one S
notions of economy. Fancy bathing in
about ten gallons Of milk TO secure the
absorption of a few teaspoonfuls.
