Within a few days the dates for
the annual meeting of the Arkansas
Land Congress and Immigration
Bureau will be announced, 1t is
probable the Congress will be called
together for October, II. Is and 10.
Secretary E r. Ratteree is now con-
sulting the other officers of the or
ganization and will make definite
announcement this week The
State Fair closes October the 14th.
and bv making the 18th the opening
day of the Land Congress, the ex-
hlbtors at the Fair are allowed two
da>s to get their exhibits to Little
Rock for the Congress.
I The annual meeting OF the Land
Congress was not held in the spring
on account of conflict with the Con
iederate Reunion. The Auditorium,
where the meetings OF the Reunion
were held has been rebuilt and it
will now be used for the Land Con-
gress. 1t will seat 5000 people with
ease, and Secretary Ratteree expects
to have more than that number OF
delegates in the city for the big
meeting.
The dates of 16, II and Is of Oct
ober will not only fit in well with
the State Fair, but will give the
Arkansas on Wheels, which starts
from Little Rock the following week,
a chance 10 gather the best of the
exhibits for that extensive northern
tour Secretary Ratteree expects
this year to make the Arkansas
Land Congress more than a state
wide gathering, and will immediate
" go after the railroads for reduced
rates from other states, hoping in
this manner to bring in quite num-
Der to gaze on the exhibits of Arkan-
sas products, and hear the talks Of
Arkansas boosters, getting imbued
with the spirit so strong they will
pack up their household belongings
and move to Arkansas.

ROMANCE OF COLD WEATHER
Man Saves Two Lives but Subsequent
lionizing Is Much to His
Disadvantage.

Two lovers were strolling along a
canal bank on the outskirts of Paris
the other day when the woman sud
denly ran from her companion and
threw herself into the water. Though
but bad swimmer, her companion at
once Jumped in to rescue her, but he
was unable to do so, and both were
in peril of drowning. At this mo-
ment stranger came along, and see-
ing the struggling couple, bravely
jumped In and succeeded in bringing
both the man and the woman to the
bank, where they were soon revived.
A cheering crowd assembled to con-
graduate the rescuer who, however,
showed great reluctance to be lion
ICED. He was quickly walking away
when two policemen came on the
scene and insisted that the name and
address of so brave man should be
taken. Their surprise was great
when they found that the gallant
rescuer was a burglar for whom the
police were anxiously searching. He
was taken into custody and will be
brought up for sentence. 1t is expect
ed that the gallant rescue will lead
to his dismissal, or at least to a re-
duction In any sentence that might
otherwise have been passed on him
for his less heroic deeds.

introduction Of New Plants.

But few farmers have any idea of
the great work our government Is do
ing in the way of introducing new
plants and fruits from the old world
into the United States. During the
last fiscal year more than 1000 seeds
and plants we're brought in. The de-
partment Of agriculture has explorers
constantly on the lookout for all kinds
of plants and fruits that seem capable
Of good yields in our own country.
They are picked up especially in Man.
churia, Korea and China. There are
specimens from wild apricot trees
ten feet in diameter. There are wild
grapes and wonderful persimmons
and bush cherries and other curious
and valuable specimens that most Of
us never dreamed Of.

ECONOMY in
FENCE POSTS
Careful Selection Of Wood and
Preventative Trea trnent Saves
Time and Money - Aver
age Cost and Life.
CBy JOHN q. scHAEFERJ


1t has been estimated by the q. s..
department of agriculture that the
farmers of the single state of Iowa
use every year s1,400,000 worth of new
fence posts, which cost the equivalent
of 100000 for setting them in the
ground. Without doubt a part of this
expenditure might be saved.
The opportunity for economy is
found, first, In using the kinds of posts
which, taking into account both cost
and durability, are cheapest in the
long run, and, secondly, by treating
the posts to prevent decay. When a
farmer sets a post which will have a
comparatively short life, he loses not
only through having to buy a new post,
but also because Of the additional la
Dor involved In setting 1t. 1t is true
that in both cases no money outlay
may be involved, for he may set the
posts himself, after getting them from
his own wood lot. OF the posts used
last year in Iowa, 20 per cent, it Is es-
timated, were grown on the farms
where they were used, or were OBJ
tanned from other farmers or wood lot
owners, and only 80 per cent. were
bought from lumber dealers. Never
theless, the farmer is out his labor
and the part of the product of his
wood lot which is used up, even though
he does not pay out any cash.
The average life of fence post Is
stated to be fourteen years, and the
average cost 1877 cents. There is. how
ever. greater difference in the lasting
properties of different woods. Usage
orange lasts more than five times as
long as willow, and for length of ser
vice II heads the list of post timbers
in the state. The comparative life
of other posts is shswn In the follow
ing list, ranging from the longest
period to the shortest: Red cedar, To-
Gust, white oak, northern white cedar
(or arborvitae) catalpa, black walnut.
butternut. red oak and willow.
The average cost of posts varies
for different woods, and for the same
woods in different localities. Red cedar
is most expensive, at an average OF
26% cents each, and willow the cheap
est, at six cents.

HOW LACES MAY BE CLEANED
White Waists Should Be Put in Solu-
tion of Pure Soap and Stltfened
With Gum Arabic.

White waists badly stained with
perspiration can be cleaned by put
ting them in strong solution of cas-
tile or any pure soap, then placing
in the direct sunlight until the yellow
is withdrawn. To make the solution,
shave one bar of soap and dissolve
this in one to three quarts of hot
water. The dirt is removed from the
lace not by rubbing, but by washing
up and down in a new soap solution,
and 1t is then thoroughly rinsed in
two or three clear, warm waters. The
lace is next stiffened in weak gum
arabic water-one or two kernels to
one pint of water. The gum arabic is
added to warm water and placed over
hot water until dissolved 1t is well
never to wiring lace, but rather to
squeeze the water from it. To dry the
lace it Is pinned on a wooden blanket,
or pad. which has been securely
fastened to table. Each point is
firmly pinned and the lace is left until
perfectly dry. Much may be done to-
ward giving the effect Of new lace, II
each point is not only carefully pinned
out, but when dry, picked out with the
fingers.
Silk laces are cleaned by brushing
or rolling in corn meal, or magnesia.
The dirt adheres to the flour, or pow
der, leaving the lace clean. When
treated in this way laces need more
frequent cleaning. but appear more
like new lace. Yellowed, white silk
lace may be stepped in hot bath OF
milk and borax and bleached in the
sun.

post will last, and the cost of buying
it and setting 1t in the ground, the
conclusion must be drawn that the
Usage orange post is the most econom-
ical in Iowa, followed by white oak,
locust, catalpa, red cedar, black wal
nut, butternut, willow, white cedar and
red oak, in the order named
Comparatively few posts Of some of
these woods are used. Catalpa and
butternut together do not constitute
one per cent, while white oak exceeds
forty per cent. From white oak, the
highest, the numbers used range down
in the following order: White cedar,
Usage. orange, red cedar, willow, black
walnut, locust, butternut, and catalpa.
A few posts are cut from other woods.
Preservative treatment increases the
life of all wooden posts and more than
doubles the period of usefulness of
those which are mostly sapwood. The
100000 spent yearly by Iowa farmers
in buying and setting fence posts
might be materially lessened by put
ting into practice the well-known meth
DDS of wood preservation. It costs
much less to treat post than to buy
a new one and set it in the ground,
and in addition much wood could be
saved for other purposes. The depart
ment of agriculture has made special
study of practical methods Of preserv-
ing farm timbers, so that it is able to
inform interested inquirers how to do
this for themselves.
