May Establish Game Preserve.

Helena.-A game preserve of from 10000 to 10000 acres in all probability will be established in Phillips county within the next month. Communica- tions received by Dr. w. F. Jeffett, vice president of the Phillips County Rod and Gun Club of Helena, from E. V. Visart, state secretary of the Ark ansas Protective Association, indicat- ed this fact beyond all doubt The state representative, in his communi- cation, intimated that he had receiv- ed direct assurance from MT. McIlhen- ny of the federal department and who is also at the head of three large pre- serves, that if he (Visart) will select a suitable tract of from 10000 to 20,- 900 acres of land in this state that the department would purchase and stock it with such game as necessary.

WERE NOT AT ALL DlVERTING
5erious-Minded Quaker Saw Nothing to Smile at In the Lighter Poems
 of Whittier.

The late Gertrdue Whittier Cart land, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker poet, presented an ideal picture of the saintly aged Quakeress. Her sweet, serene face, framed in its tight little bonnet, seemed to shine with clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her recfte, In voice of tranquil music, the hymns and graver poems of her famous relative was always delight ful.
 But she did not leave her cousins lively sense of humor; and it was hard to tell whether this lack lessen ed or increased the effect, when in exactly the same grave, even tones. she occasionally read aloud some of the verse that he wrote, not for pub lication, but for the pleasure of his Intimate circle. That was always light, frequently gay, sometimes fairly rollicking.
 her try very hard to appreciate his fun; and she thought she did so; yet mirth seemed always as alien to her tongue as a red rosette pinned upon her dove-gray shouldershawl would have been to her costume. This in- congruity was felt, doubtless, by an other Friend, of even more serious mind than she, who once said to her reprovingly:
 "The verses are harmless, and l perceive they are intended to be diVerting; but they do not divert me, Gertrude, and l do not think they really divert thee. Be honest with myself; if thee read them and did not know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote them, would thee not consider them extremely silly? Thee knows l mean no affront, and greatly admire thy cousin Greenleaf. Surely he is great poet; but great poet may some times write such silly stuff. And sure ly this time thy cousin has done 1t. Reflect and thee will agree with me-"
 She reflected-on the necessity of care in selecting an audience for a joke.-Youth's Companion.

FOR SAFETY TO THE DRIVER
Mirrors Installed on Streets of English Towns Have Proved of Material
 Benefit.

Mirrors at street corners to provide for the drivers of vehicles view of the cross streets have been installed in at least two towns in England. In Folkestone there is an acute angle street crossing where one corner is built up close to the curb. On this corner Is placed a 24x24 inch mirror supported on gas pipe standards at such an angle that drivers of vehicles coming toward the built-up corner from either of the two opposite streets can see up the streets at right an gles to their path.
 The engineer in charge states that owing to the impossibility of motor ists seeing any on-coming traffic sev- eral accidents and narrow escapes have occurred at that point. Since the mirror has been fixed he has not heard of anything approaching an ac- cident. The damp, mist, rain or frost have no i'll effect on the mirror, which is occasionally cleaned by a passing lamplighter when cleaning his lamps.
 At Malmesbury, in Wiltshire, mir TOT five by eight feet in size, support td on standards so that it's top is 15 feet above the street, occupies an an gular position at the apex of closed right-angle curve. The engineer in charge says: sThe mirror requires scarcely any cleaning; only a wipe over once in about three months.''- Engineering News.

 Monticello.-The Arkansas Farmers Union held a most successful meet ing here Education and cooperation were the chief themes throughout the entire session.

 To stimulate interest and increase the membership it is planned to send out lecturers over the state to organ ize and to put new life in the local unions.
 Several speakers urged diversifica- tion of crops and the following of scientific instructions being offered to the farmers of Arkansas.
 The work of the agricultural schools of this state was approved by the union and members were urged to pay more attention to the educational work of their childen and to especial ly patronize the agricultural course in ly patronize the agricultural coureses in tion with this subject a resolution was passed asking the next legislature to devote a 1-2 mill tax to the four agri- cultural schools of Arkansas. This resolution created much enthusiasm among those attending and many ex- pressed the opinion that the matter would meet the approval of the legis- lature.
 The most important matter con sidered at this meeting was the mat ter of establishing agencies to aid farmers in holding their cotton till later in the season when they can se- cure better price for it.
 A resolution was adopted urging the legislature to appropriate $500,000 for the support of the agricultural schools.
 The plant of the Rural Eduactor at Russellville was taken over by the union and the paper made the official journal.
 Upon the refusal of Geo. A. Cole to accept renomination for the presi- dency warm fight developed over the office. There were tour contest ants in the race, H. S. Mobley, F. w. BroadnaX, Ben L. Griffin and G. L. Brashears. H. s. Mobley was chosen.
 The delegates attending the session were royalty entertained by the peo- pie of Monticello the crowning feat ure of which was the big banquet giv- en by the citizens of Monticello. More than 800 attended this affair.
 The convention adjourned leaving the matter of selecting the next meet ing place to the executive committee. It is thought that the committee will select Magnolia as the place on ac- count of one of the agricultural schools being located there.

ECZEMA BEGAN BY ITCHING

Goldsboro, N. C.-"My daughter suf- fered from eczema. The trouble be- gan in the ears by itching and run ming water, and later it formed pus and became very offensive. She began to scratch it and 1t went into sores. When the scabs came off there was a yellowish watery discharge. The outside of the ear was one solid sore. She tried several different remedies but received no relief. She had been troubled with it between one and two years when she finally began using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
 "She had not made but two treat ments when all the scabs came off and the flesh just looked very red and dry. She kept up the treatment four or five weeks and she was entirely cured. It also cured other sores on the children. especially chapped feet on one of the little boys" (Signed) Mrs. W. H. Edgerton, Jan. "A, 1912.

The trou- ble had started with some of the older boys In a misunderstanding over a game. After hearing both sides of the question, she decided proper pun ishment for the combatants, and told them to remain in their seats after the others had gone home.

New Idea for Dressmakers.

A New York woman has inauguratcd a new departure. She sent word to a number of dressmakers that she had so many dresses to make, of such and such materials, and so many oth- CTS to be altered, and named the al bids. She will probably accept the lowest bid, and this seems to open up new field in dressmaking. It will also develop new variety of shrewd- ness on the part of successful dress makers-the ability to figure on bids.

iIIiteracy in Germany.

Marianna.-A general rain through out Lee county came at an oppor- tune time. While the cotton crop had not deteriorated, little progress had been made during the past week, and until this rain, it is a safe statement that it had barely held it's own. Gull tiyation is excellent.

Americas Athletic Missionaries.

Writing under this title in Harper's Weekly, Edward Bayard Moss de- scribes our athletic triumph at Stock holm in the Olympic games. Some idea of the caliber of the athletes and the competition can be gained from the fact that thirteen new Olympic and nine worlds records were estab- lished during the games. The vic tory of Arnold Jackson of Oxford in the 1,500-meter run was the only feature that redeemed England's poor display"
