MISTAKES OF THE HOUSEWIFE
IN BUYING MEANS #%.

The incidental causes of increase
IN price are to some extent amusing
FIRST among these is the ignorance
Iof the average housewife. : It is sts-.
hhcant to note in the tables Of beef
values reproduced in the fore par: Of
this article that while the ribs and
l9ins amount to but 26.6 per cent. Of
the total weight of the steer. vet thew

Oh the whole animal. The sole cause
FOR the high value of ribs and Ioins.
i'll proportion to- the other cuts fs tire
demand. AS butcher puts it: ~''The
woman, with a round steak income
has proterhouse appetite" The,
demand for porterhouse, sirloin, ana
\rlp-roasts is due to the fact that they,
may be more easily prepared for the
| table by broiling or baking than the
}cheaper cuts: The housewife of the
days gone by insisted upon doing her
own marketing. She Sc ected her
cuts IN person and perhaps carried
| Chem nome herself. The cost in de-
livery Of meat by wagon averages
from two cents to five cents Der de-
livery today. The butcher PERMITS
the consumer to pay. it, The house
wife of the days gone by knew how
TO prepare succulent stews, inviting
boiled meat. - delicate steaks: from
| other cuts besides the loin. The
cookbook Of the days gone by with

Good judges Of beef flavor de-
clare that the ROUNDS, the sirIoin
butts, shoulder steaks, clods, skirts
and flank steaks, when properly pre-
pared for the table possess a. flavor
not eXcclled by the more favored
cuts or beef. At the Saddle and Sir

PRISON BOARD MAKES LOAN.
Will Adopt Plan of Paying Cash for
 Supplies for Institution.

Little Rock.-At meeting or the State Penitentiary Board, Superln- tendent Pitcock submitted a report showing that the convicts had earn ed over S10,000 on the ". L. Reeves contract The report shows that on April l there were S15 convicts, men and women, confined in the peniten- tiary. Of that number 416 were men with an earning capacity or leased out There were POS convicts on the state farm in Lincoln county, but Of than number only about 100 were capacitated to do manual labor.
 The board decided to borrow about s35,000 to be used in paying current expenses until the next cotton crop is gathered and sold.
 Gov. Donaghey argued that the in terest on the loan would not amount to as much as would be saved by paying cash for all supplies used at the institution.

MAGNOLIA GETS LAST COLLEGE.
Hope Loses to Columbia County Town
 by a Single Vote.

Little Rock.-The agricultural col lege for the Third District will be located at Magnolia, in Columbia county, according to the action of the board of trustees for the district, ta- ken at the Gleason Hotel in this city.
 The full board heard the claims of the various towns, and when the time to vote arrived the contest had narrowed down to Hope and Magno- lia, the latter winning by singie majority of one.
 Tn offer of Magnolia was consid- cred slightly better than that of Hope or Mena; and cash to the am ount of s20,OO0 and all the land re quired is the principal claim of the. winning town.
 The towns of Prescott and Bingen were excluden from the race for the location of the school by reason of the fact that they had not filed their bids for the school with the secre- of the board of trustees. The town of Prescott sent delegation here to offer $35,0O0 in cash, two hundred acres of land, with lights and water free for two years and at cost for the following five years.
 There has been a great rivalry hA. tween towns in the four districts to secure the location of one of tbe schools.
