Malay Weapons.

The national Malay weapon. the
creese, is said TO have been invented
by Javanese monarch of the four
teenth century. Its varieties are said
to exceed hundred, and there are in
Javanese no fewer than fifty names
for them. 1t varies in size from the
two foot wavy blade of Sulu down to
a mere toothpick. But the popularity
is that the weapon is never ground, but
kept rough and sawlikea in edge by
securing with lime juice or the juice
of an unripe pineapple, sometimes
mixed with arsenic, and it is on this
account that creese wounds are so
dangerous. Old specimens are so eaten
away by this practice that the blade
roughly welded up. Such creeses are
highly valued. and some of the ancient
ones, heirlooms of chiefs, with gro
tesqueIy carved and inlaid hits and
sheaths. are almost unpurchasabIe.
The Little Things That Tell.
A south side mother was dressing
for a tea the other afternoon when the
front door bell rang. She instructed
the maid that if the visitor appeared
to. be about to make u formal call to
say she was not at home. But the
mother had not counted on the five
year-old daughter playing in the front
yard.
The maid. seeing a woman dressed
as if for calling. obeyed Instructions.
"She is not at home." the maid said.
''Why. she is. too, Minnie" came a
sharp interruption from the child on
the lawn. IL saw her lower the cur
tain just now
'Perhaps she just came in," the
maid responded weakly. "I'll see."
The situation was saved by the fact
that the visitor was the mothers SIS
ter. whom the maid did not know

TO SECURE STATE
 GINNING CENSUS

Little Rock, Feb. Commission CT of Agriculture Fred H. Phillips is making preparations to give the apeo- pie of Arkansas a ginners' report in advance of the national ginners' re- port, and one which, so far as Ar kansas is concerned, will be as au- thentic. He expects to make weekly report instead of monthly report, as is made by the government. With this end in view he has prepared a bill which will this week be introduc- ed in the house, requiring all ginners in Arkansas to register with the com missioner on or before the first day of August of each year. The commits sioner is then required to furnish all ginners with blanks, which they must fill out, showing the number of bales ginned at the end of each week, and have the report in the hands of the commissioner by Monday following at noon. There is penalty of $100 at tached for the ginner who fails to comply with the act. Commissioner Phillips has assurance that the bill will pass. He will make a report of the number of bales ginned monthly, but the press of the state will be given weekly reports by the state official.

SAYS OKLAHOMA
 IS GOOD COUNTRY
FORMER SHERIFF FARRELL WRITES OF HIS NEW
 HOME.

EDITOR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
 see letter in your paper writ ten by H. J. Butler of Jennings, Okla, in which he advises his Faulkner county friends not to come to Okla homa. I don't remember Mr. Butler, out I will venture to say the most se- rious drouth he had was early in the spring and that was short drouth t is true it has been very dry in Ok ahoma for the past two years, and we did not make a full corn crop last year, but you can buy plenty of corn for 40 to 50 cents bushel, and we made fine cotton crops, except where he bol worms damaged crops, and hat was only in small spots.
 So far as I am concerned, like Ok ahoma fine. We are farming and nave plenty of corn, hogs, cattle, hors- as, in fact everything that is needed on the farm, and I have been here only two years. We have everything ready to plant, but l guess we won't plant for few days, as it is showing now, following a slow rain, for the past two days. We planted gardens February 15, the same date as last year, when we even planted corn and it made good.
 I will venture to say that Mr. But Ter will come back to Oklahoma in less than 12 month It is very true that we miss the people in Faulkner county. I am a good deal like the Irishman was about Arkansas. One of his friends asked him how he liked Arkansas. He said he liked the saw all right, but didn't like the d- set in it. That is the case in Oklahoma. While you will find as good people here as anywhere, good schools and plenty of churches, you find few real Christians and plenty of land graft CTS; in fact, all kinds of grafters. l rather think that was what was the matter with my friend Butler. Some one skinned him and he wanted it to rain to drown his troubles.

LEGISLATURE ON
 EIGHTH WEEK EXTRA SESSION CERTAIN
ONLY 10 DAYS OF REGULAR SESSION LEFT AND LITTLE
 HAS BEEN DONE.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-The eighth week of the general assembly opened today and a movement to rush mat ters is now evident, much more so than in weeks past, for there remains now only 10 days of the regular ses- sion and practically all the real i'm portant business of the session is yet to be closed and many of the most inn portant bills have not been introduced. While much work has been done on many of the bills, there are some of them which will require many days yet before being perfected, and with such conditions the session cannot close in less than GO day extension.
 The revenue measures will come
 ack to the house today and argu- ncnt upon the Hurst-Bradham bill will require several weeks in the house before it goes to the senate The disposition of the old state house
 s as far from being settled as ever and many days of red hot debate will occur upon that subject before the senate begins the debate upon wheth- sr to submit or not to submit it to the people.
 The judiciary and public service corporations committees of the house are working overtime now to get the many bills before them back to the house, but nightly meetings could not dispose of their business before the end of the regular 60-day session. In addition to this many bills are daily being referred to these committees.
 One bill of statewide interest which is to be introduced today is the ere ation of G. Abner Hurst of Washing ton county, who has spent weeks upon it's provisions. It is a statewide road bill, which if passed, will appeal all other road building statutes on the books. The bill begins by levying a poll tax of S5 upon every male citizen of Arkansas over 21 years of age, to be used, in addition to all existing road taxes, in the building of good roads in the county in which he re- sides. The different counties of the state have the right to adopt the Hust law by holding county elections for that purpose The bill provides coun- ty highway commissions to be compos- ed of county judge, county clerk and county treasurer, acting in the capa- city of president, secretary and treas urer, respectively. In addition to these the board is composed of one school director from each school district of the county who has been elected by the other school directors. This board has the right to employ a highway engineer, which does away with the county engineer. The board also has the right to work county or state con- victs on the county roads, or to have the work done by contract.
 The senate will have a very busy week killing the bills to abolish rail- road and tax commissions and pass ing the state board of health and oth- CT bills.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
 ABSTRACT BOOKS

Are made up by going to the earliest records and reading them page by page and taking the land numbers mentioned and entering them, together with the other information wanted, on a page in the Ab- stract books reserved for that particular tract. In that way, you see, the whole history of a tract of land is shown on one page of the books, for every time we come to that land in the county records we enter it on it's pages.
 Of course there was a vast amount of labor in doing it that way, especially when we had to go to Conway county and Pu- laski county for the early rec ords.
 Now, too, we went back ana proved all our work, to be doub- ly sure, until now, should the county records be destroyed, we could practically reproduce them from our own books.
 We are in position to tell you about your title on very short notice.
