THE LOST WAS FOUNDi

On to the Place to la Concorde comes a pale-faced, wild-eyed man, with chair. Mounting the chair, he folds his arms across his chest and breaks out into a fixed, ghastly grin. As he stands motionless on the chair-always grinning-a crowd naturally assemblies; and at last a policeman appears.
 "What are you doing thereP" de- mands the latter.
 "Hushl I am Mona Lisa," replies the man with the grin.
 "Then at last we have found you," says the quick-witted policeman. Come with me quickly. You must return immediately to the Louvre"
 ''Yes, yes,'s assents the light-head- ed one, descending from the chair. ''Take me home to the Louvre."- Paris Letter.

JOAQUIN MILLER'S HOME.

Many years ago, soon after Joa- quin Miller had settled in his pres- ent home, "The Heights" I asked him where he lived. His reply came, promptly: "Three miles east, one perpendicular" !" In that expression you have a graphic, symbolic state ment of Joaquin's mental habitat. He lives nearer the rising sun than most people and his normal dwelling place is "a mile perpendicular" His nest is on "The Heights" his eye far seeing, blue, prophetic, keen, kind; and his soul attuned, when he sings, to the harmony of the spheres.

Farmers Getting Down to Business

FdrmcrS dettlng UOWn 10 buSlneSS
 Formerly when anything went wrong the farmers would where. as" against the government and "resolute" to reform the politi. clans. It is different now. At the meeting of the farmers, mel- chants and bankers in Little Rock, held to devise means for holding this years cotton for a better price, not a word of poli tics was spoken. The situation was discussed in a businesslike manner and every body agreed to work together for better prices. More recently county meetings were held, and reports received indicate that the farmers gener- ally are in good condition. One farmer said he would sell his $500 mules before he would take 9 cents for his cotton. They will wear straw hats all winter and put off buying piano and auto mobile until cotton goes back to 15 cents. That's the way to get the price advanced.

 ha!f the Farm Should Be in Grass
 c. w. Watson, the new agent of the United States Department Of Agriculture for Arkansas, says that one-half of the occupied lands of this state should be in meadow and pasture and the other half under intensive culti- vation. If every acre of land in Arkansas had this year produced the average yields made under demonstration the farmer would have gained nearly $7O,00O,O0O on the same average that was cultivated. It pays to listen to the demonstrator. There ought to be one in every county and each farmer ought to be his help CT.

 Farmer Boys See the State Fair
 The Arkansas Homestead had a party of farmer boys for it's guests at the State Fair in Hot Springs. The boys from the country were royalty entertained and it proved an educational treat. Returning, the party spent one day at Little Rock and visited the various points of in- terest in the capital, including The Homestead office, at 209 Louisiana street, where farmers always find welcome when they visit Little Rock.

Teaching the Girls of the Farm

While we are making better farmers of our boys let's make better cooks and housekeepers of our girls. The proper cooking of food is the most vital part in dealing with the subject of foods. To teach people to improve their methods of cooking will improve their health and will be a direct financial aid as well. Many foods appetizing and easily digested in their natural state, are spoiled in the hands of a careless and in- competent cook.

A Pleasant Meeting

The fWomans' club held a very
pleasant meeting Saturday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. William Kilpat-
rick. The program was in charge
of Mrs. Frank Mcdaniel, and was in
keeping with the Christmas season.
The subject of her paper was
Christmas Customs in all Lands"
After this fine paper, which was full
of information as we'll as legend,
Mrs. Mcdaniel charmed her hearers
with an hour of music and recitation.
AS banjo player Mrs. Mcdaniel is
an artist, being able to play different
transcriptions from the operas,
carrying two and three distinct parts
playing them all so exquisitely and
clearly, it is difficult to realize that it

to my Love-" with banjo accompani-
ment.
Altogether it was a delightful
afternoon, and a good preparation
for the approaching yule-tide.

Buy Tickets at Stations.

The Michigan United Railways has
adopted new rule which requires pas
sengers to purchase tickets at all sta
tions before entering cars of the COM
pany. At all stations the public will
be requested by agents and trainmeu
to buy tickets and every reasonable
effort will be made to enforce the regu~
lation.
Many of the disputes and annoyances
of travel can be avoided by complying
with this regulation. During the hours
of heavy travel both the public and
trainmen, it is claimed, are put to great
inconvenience by the old system Of
paying cash fares aboard the cars. Iu
asking the cooperation of the public
the company calls attention of the pat
rons to the fact that it will lessen to a
great extent one of the most unpleasant
features of trip by rail.
The system to be adopted is similar
to that in effect on nearly all ira nspor-
tation lines where large volume Of
business,is handled.

sentation. According to Mr.. Miner,

600.
II. ]. Gaffney, receiver, and George
A. Marston, referee in bankruptcy,

ANOTHER FACTORY
Imperial Garment Manufacturing
Company Of Fenton to Locate
in OwOssO.

The Imperial Garment Mfg. Co.
which has been located in Fenton for
the past year has decided to move its
plant to Owosso, and the stock, ma
chinery and equipment is now on the
way.
They manufacture complete line of
childrens' and misses dresses and the
gaods are shipped to all parts of the
country.
They will employ about 25 girls at
the beginning and this number will be
increased from time to time as the
business warrants.
In Detroit there are about 90 factories
employing from soto 14OO girls each, so
there is no reason why the Owosso
company should not develop into a
good sized concern.
Owosso merchants have already hand
led some of the dresses manufactured
by The Imperial Garment Co. and speak
very highly of the product.
All of the stock of the Company has
been sold to Owosso business men, with
the exception of that held by Mr.. Geo.
M. Taylor, who has been conducting
the business in Fenton.
A meeting will be held within few
days to perfect the organization of the
company (which will be incorporated
for $15, ,000. 00) at which time the officers
and directors will be chosen from the
following list of stockholders:
Geo. M. Taylor, George Valentine,
A. M. Bentley, j. Edwin Ellis, G. r.
Mclaughlin, A. l.. Nichols, Frank
Weidman.
Mr.. Taylor will look after the manu-
featuring and MIR. Valentine, who was
formerly connected with the Reliance
Motor Truck Co., will take care of the
commercial and financial end of the
business.
The factory will be located in the
new Hartshorn building on East Main
street and will be in operation by
January 1st.
