When cleansing delicate and costly
china strong soaps and soap powders

Either ammonia or boraX is safer In
arranging handsome china on the
shelves soft mats should be placed be-
tween the plates to avoid scratches and
hicks The cups should be hung by
their handles from hooks. This is
much safer than piling them up on the
shelves. Platters should rest length
wise in groove on the back Of the
shelf.
In washing handsome glass and CHI

ingly soft cloth to be used for polish
er after the piece has been dried with
the usual dishcloth. In washing or

hotter the. water the easier the pieces
are to dry and the SINNER they will be.

How to Relieve 1t by Use Of Fresh
Mint Leaves.

Though mint under certain Joviai

A woman was much troubled with
headache that came from heat. She
tried many remedies unsuccessfully
until an old colored woman told her OF
a cure much used among southern ne
groes.
Fresh mint leaves are gathered,
crushed into Il juicy mass and bound
across the head with handkerchief.

thinks the woman, to the soothing odor
of the mint as much as to any healing
qualities. Soon after the potion was
applied she dropped into refreshing
sleep and usually awoke cured. In
very severe cases the woman mixed
a little witch hazel with the mint in
crushing it.

and social letters sent out during
POST CARD WEEK should contain
reference to San Francisco and the

taneously descend upon the country
that congressman viii be started into
a realization that California has an
immense organization of compelling
power, the influence Of which is not
to be despised.
Beside the special cards issued by

 i News Notes
THERE WILL BE NO MONEY IN THE STATE TREASURY
 AFTER JANUARY.
It Is Stated That the General Revenue Fund Will Be Exhausted by
 That Time.

While the Arkansas state treasury contains more than S2,060,000, but q comparatively small proportion O. that amount can be used for defray- ing the expenses of the state govern ment, which comes out of the general revenue fund. The general revenue fund has to its credit in round num- bers s350000, with about s25,000 yet to be deposited to it's credit when q few remaining collectors are heard from. The running expenses of the state government amount to from s6Q ,000 to s75000 per month, and this will exhaust the general revenue fund some time in January or Feb ruary. It is expected that when the legislature meets there will be little remaining of the fund from which it can draw upon for the payment ot it's expenses. The legislature may conyer the sinking fund temporar- fly te it's use as an eXpedient and by the use Of this fund months expenses of the body may be de frayed. If the offhand estimates of those in the auditors and treasurer's offices are correct, the legislature will have to rely upon advances made by the collectors of the several coun- ties in 1911 to defray it's expenses.

OUR FARMERS GAN BECOME RICH
Agricultural Possibilities Here Better
 Than Elsewhere, Says Traveller.

Little Rock-"The people of Arkan- sas don't know how to appreciate the agricultural resources of their state until they travel into others said A. L. Weitz, who travels for the Ma tional Vinegar Company of St. Louis. Recently I have covered number of adjoining states, and this fact has been forcibly brought to my attention. Take cantaloupes, for instance. Here we get the finest quality, and we can buy them off country wagons in Lit tie Rock for 25 cents per dozen at this time. In Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta and other places cantaloupes are bringing from 10 to 20 cents each It is the same way with ether fruits and vegetables. They all bear boun- tifully here and there is no reason in the world why Arkansas farmers with a little progressiveness should not quickly amass great wealth. And they are fast coming to this realiza- tion, too. Just take trip through the state and it is surprising to note the number of we'll titled farms, planted in almost every conceivable thing"

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 AT HOT SPRINGS
B. c. GREEN, A SUBURBAN MFR CHANT, ASSASSiNATED IN
 FRONT OF HIS STORE.
(. ". TURNER IS SECOND VICTIM
Shot Down by Jack Purnell While in Mrs. PurnelI's Company
 Greens Slayers Escape.

Hot Springs.-Two bloody tragedies were enacted here one night last week in different parts of the city. In the first, B. c. Green, a suburban mel chant, was assassinated while seated in front of his grocery, and in the second, C. w. Turner, a visitor from Paris, Ky, was shot down just moment after having notice of his fate.
 Mr Green conducted a mercantile business in South Hot Springs. He had figured in several difficulties within the past year, which were re- garGed as mere neighborhood dis turbances. On the night of the trag edr he was seated in front of his store when two shots were fired from a yard across the street, in the sparsely settled district. A shotgun was the weapon and the first load entered the lap of the seated victim and penetrated both hands, which were evidently clasped on his lap.
 Green probably arose, receiving the second shot in his left side He stag SG4 Ch ll494uC li4C olOlc anu DlOOQy handprints show how he tried to get behind counter to where pistol and Winchester rifle were lying. when he fell dead.
 Two men were seen sulking near the premises by daughter of the dead man, but their identity is un. known.
 The coroner was returning from an investigation of this assassination when six shots rang out on Market street, in the hotel district Jack Purnell, who owns a small hotel and conducts barber shop in the busi- ness district, had shot and killed C. w Turner of Paris, Ky
 Turner had been to a moving pie ture show with Mrs. Purnell Mrs Purnen said that Purnell had been going out with other women. and she had decided to go out with other men to break him of that habit Purnell emptied a Colts 3S-calibre revolver in the back of Turner, after warning him of his fate, and then surrendered to the police

OSCAR PULLEN ESCAPES GALLONS
Governor commutes His Sentence to
 Life Imprisonne ent.

Little Rock.-AdmittiE that the crime for which Oscar Pullen was convicted in the Little River county circuit court and sentenced to death was of most dastardly character and that there was little in the case to warrant executive clemency, Gov ernor Donaghey issued proclama- tion committing the death sentence of the self-confessed murderer to im- prisonment in the penitentiary for life
 The governors action was influ- enced by the recommendation of the attorney general, the trial judge and the official who will succeed him on the bench, the county judge and sheriff of Little River county and other county officials, and about 1000 citizens of the county, who signed the petition for executive clemency. He was also influenced by the statement that Pullen was completely under the control of Mrs. Deloney. the woman whose husband he murdered.
 The crime for which Pullen was convicted was the assassination of Lafayette Deloney, a prominent Little River county farmer. Fullen, while Deloney lay asleep in bed at his home, fired through the window of his room with shotgun, killing his victim in startly. Later he surrendered to the authorities, admitting that he did the killing, duplicating Mrs. Deloney as being responsible for the crime, say ing she went so far as to hold open the window while he fired through it. He was sentenced to be hanged on September 2. Mrs. Deloney was in- dicted and tried, but was acquitted.

Says Fixing of Rates Is Against Law.

Assistant Attorney General W. E Rector has declared it a violation of the antitrust act for several fire in surance companies, through their joint general agent, to fix the same rate of insurance for cach company. The opinion was rendered at the re quest of State Auditor lobe, who had received a rate book issued by G. L. Meyers & Go. of Memphis, represent ing six fire insurance companies, in which were printed the rates to be charged in Arkansas for fire insur- ance, the rates for each company be ing the same. The assistant attorney general holds that fixing the price of insurance for six companies is clearly in violation of the antitrust law. To construe the act differently, he says. wo,ad be to eliminate the very spirit of the ace.
