STAND BY THE SCHOOL

Don't forget that the schools
need you and your assistance and
encouragement. If you neglect
them then you have no cause to
complain if they do not render
best service. Help the teacher
to inspire interest in your school,
and thus help him and your
children. The community in
which the people take little inter-
est in the school will have a poor
school and will deserve nothing
better.
There are people who never
take any interest in their school
until there is something to raise
a row about. School rows are
the curses of the country, and
frequent change of teachers is a
misfortune to every child. Get
a good teacher and then stand
by him. 3" If there oe cause of
complaint present it to the teach
er first; and if he cannot or will
not correct the fault, then pre-
sent it to the trustees; but don t
talk about it. Don't grumble.
Grumblers do no good. They are
'doers of certainly doors
of harm for the schools. The
school nearly always represents
the condition Of the community;
and this would always be the
case were it not that a few NAL
contents can often destroy a good
school. Rowing and grumbling
correct few evils. Least of all
should pupils ever know that
there is a school row on hand.
Under such condition the best
pupils will fail to do good work.

SUMMER; WINTER
IN TWO HOURS

The severe wind storm of Sat
urday night swept telephone and
telegraph wires down in all parts
of Arkansas and communication
with many towns has not yet
been established. Thereports
received however indicate that
aside from the blowing down of
telephone, telegraph and light
wires, the storm did not do much
damage in Arkansas.
All records for sudden drop in
temperature were shatteaed, the
fall in Little Rock being 58 de-
grees in something over nine
hours, which was predicted in a
warning sent out by the Weather
BureauSaturday afternoon. The
thermometer began to fall at $50
Saturday night at which time the
reading was 80 degrees, and
with. % minutes had fallen 35
degree, and by midnight was at
80 degrees, or the freezing point.
From midnight to 7 o'clock yes
terday morning there was an
otlcc drJp of 10 degrees, break
ing the 32-year record for cold
weather in this territory during
the first II days of November.
Last nights drop in tempera-
ture, namely So degrees in nine
and one-half hours. was typical
of the American cold wave, y
concerning which Prof. Willis L.
Moore, chief O. the United States
Weather Bureau, has said that:
Few people realized that the
cold wave has a therapeutic
value. 1t scatters and ditfuses
the carbonic acid gas eXhaled by
animal life and the fetid gas en-
anatid from decaying organic
matter. It's dense air not only
gives more oxygen with each in
spiration of the lungs. but the
high clectrification that always
accompanies it invigorates man
and all other animal life. The
hige pressure areas that con-
stitute the cold waves have a
marked downward component of
motion brings from consider
able altitude to the surface Of
earth ozone and high electrical
potential, which are stronglJ
stimulating to man.

PRESCOTT TO GET
new STATION
Commission Ordered Con-
struction To Begin With
in Next 80 Days
LOCATION SOUTH OF VINE ST.

1t seems that the depot PROPOSE
ton is now settled. The citizens
of Prescott have been unable for
a long time to settle upon the To-
cation of the new station that the
Iron Mountain seemed to be ready
to build. They finally called upon
the Commission to come here and
look over the situation and decide
for them. This they did last
Thursday, After looking over
the two locations offered by the
people and hearing the reasons
offered by the contending forces
they decided that the best place
for all concerned, was between
Vine and Olive streets, south of
Elm and north of the junction of
the Prescott & Northwestern
Railroad.
The Commission ordered the
railroad to begin within the next
thirty days to erect a handsome
structure at this point, and at the
hearing the company expressed
a willingness to begin at once
to build a new station if this To-
cation was selected over the one
in front of the City Park. We
trust that the Iron Mountain will
do this. We think that the mat
ter, while it is not what some
wanted, is settled now for
"keeps," if the railroad will get
busy. We think the location a
good compromise, as one side got
the streets that they have fought
for and the location of the station
at least 800 feet closer to the
City Park location.
Now then let us all get down
to business and see that the rail
road gives us a station in keeping
with our enterprising and grow
ing little city. These little differ
ences between citizens of the
same town should be no more
than a contention in the same
family. | would not give flip
of my finger for any man that
would not fight for what he con-
sidered to be right.

Under the narrow costumes of the
moment there is room for very little
in the way of lingerie, but that little
is made up for in the exquisite fine
ness and beauty of the various gar
ments. Petticcats, combinations and
even chemises must conform to the
straight and narrow lines of outer
skirts and when frills are used at all
they must be soft enough to crush
into limpness under even a hlmy
outer fabric.
All this means expensive fabrics,
for coarse muslins and cheap embroi-
deries and laces refuse to fall in the
clinging, limp lines prescribed by La
Mode. The fashionably dressed
woman wears but three garments, be-
side her corset-a little chemise or
knitted silk shirt, a combination cor
set cover and drawer, and a petticoat.
All these are made of the softest pos
sible materials; chemise and combina-
ton being fashioned of nainsook or

two yards about the foot except in
the case of dancing petticoats which
are often three or four yards around,

imaginable. Be it remembered that
the Frenchwoman wears her chemise
next her skin and always beneath
her corset. Such a garment is really
much cooler and more comfortable
when made of very soft fabric-than
the ribbed knitted vest. This little
Paris chemise is not more than three
quarters of a yard long. It falls to
the knee and at the sides it is open
and rounded off at the corners ex-
act1y like a mans shirt. At the top
it comes only to the bust and there
are dainty ribbons to tie over the
shoulders. These, when the corset
is adjusted over the cherlise. are IN

may not indulge in genuine Irish
trimmed robes du nuit-simple little
affairs of soft nainsook with hand run
pin tucks and bit of cluny around
the neck and edging the short, puffed
sleeves. Many of the prettiest night
gowns have Empire tops made in one
with the sleeves of allover lace or en-
broidery; the very finest Swiss EN-
broideries of course being used for
this purpose.
Any woman may have dainty under
garments if she is willing to do the
pretty work herself in her leisure
hours. A little nainsook chemise
may be run together by hand in an
evening and the second evening an
edge trimming of imitation cluny or
torchon may be added and perhaps a
spray of hand embroidery put on the
front. The little garment may not be
as ornate as a Jeanne Hallee model
on which are needle pictures of cupids
holding rose garlands, but it will be

Neither corset covers nor drawers
have much fullness now. Everything
is kept as fiat as possible for the sake
of the outer garments. Many of the
French drawers are really knickers
which are banded into a ribbon bead
ing just below the knee, the ribbon
being tied into bow and ends which
|droop over the stocking at the side.
Some of these corset cover and
drawer combinations are made of
thin chinese silk and such garments
are beautifully cool for summer wear,
but the silk must be washed with ut
most care or it will turn yellow, AMI
spoil the appearance of sheer frocks
worn over it.
Corsets are scarcely worth speaking
about-as far as their height is con-
cerned. They have grown lower and
lower, and now they are not more
than girdles above the waist, though
to be sure most of them reach well
toward the knee at the lower edge

with the utmost ease and this loose
ness of the corset above the waist
gives a much more youthful, unde-
iveloped figure than the high busted
models of the past few seasons. A
few ultra fashionable women have ap-
