Board officials admit that the water
is topping the levee in many places
and a heroic effort is being made to
stop the overflow with sandbags
placed on top of the levee.
The point threatened is Golden
Lake, on the Arkansas side, where a
cave-in is feared. The overflows at
Mound City, Holly Bush and other
points have been checked by sand.

ing and White River have succeeded
in preventing breaks.

into Oversburg.

ANIMAL FIGURES.
They May Be Made Out Of SeasonabIs
veoetablea.


Comic figures of men and animals
made out of seasonable vegetables are
among the favors that may be used
at New Years. They are decidedly at
tractive, besides being appropriate, and
will be in harmony with the decora-
tons.
One favor made to look like the jaun-
ty figure of man has sweet potato
for head, a pumpkin body, pickle legs
and carrot arms.
A companion favor to this is wo-
man with an apple head, pickle legs, a
pumpkin body like the mans and pieces
of celery for arms. She has mush-
room apron that completes her cos
tune. Both Of them have on wooden
shoes.
There are jolly looking cohblers,

natural colors. The elephant Is with

T%HE housewife who is hurried
to death may find ii Il good
idea to put down as one of
her New Years resolutions Il
determination that housework shall
not entirely absorb her time and
strength in the new year. There are
ways of accomplishing this without
really sighting any important duties.
Labor saving devices that may perhaps
cost Il little. but will save time-and
time is worth money-may be purchas-
ed in the shops.
The housewife is such an important
worker that the money which the lat
est inventions in her realm demand
should be considered part of the legiti
mate household expenses. The patent
dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner, the
telephone, are all tools that will do
her yeoman service. The extra time
thus gained is we'll worth this outlay.
Aside from utensils, there are easy
ways of doing so called drudgery.
Take the matter Of dishwashing. In
the first place, sinks and tables are
SNiiNi any wv ioN' HC Hliih SIlouiu NC
raised to convenient height. But this
costs more than simple high stool
which will allow the tired housewife
to rest while working, eliminating all
strain on the back muscles and resting
the tired feet. While washing she need
only use her arms.
After the dishes are washed the
method used in all up to date restau-
rants should be followed. The soapy
water has done the work of thoroughly
cleaning the dishes. They should be
placed in wire rack on the grooved
drip board. Hot water should be pour
ed over them, and no wiping will be
required, for the air will dry them in Il
few minutes.
When the housewife wishes to hunt
for recipe Of your favorite cake let
her have filing cabinet to consult.
The card system is more convenient.
The housewife can clip recipes from
papers and magazines. paste them on
cards and add to her collection. Sys-
tenn is Keynote of success In house.
