Protect Little Feet.

Now that summer is here, we again
see the children going about in ank-
leties, sandals and bare feet. Ger
tainly the little boys and girls look
very charming as to feet under these
circumstances. But those Of US who
are thinking about what is really
most healthful for them cannot take
pleasure in the pretty sight of small
girl In socks and ankle-ties, little
boy in socks and sandals, and the
youngest toddlers with their pink feet
bare.
1t is so important that the arch Of
a child's foot should be supported
properly. Realizing this, let us get
for the children neither sandals nor
ankle-ttes, but low shoes Equally i'm
portant is 1t that the small and ten
der feet be protected from the rusty
nails, bits of glass and other small,
sharp things to be found on the
ground even in the best neighbor-
hoods. Remembering this, let US
never allow the children to go bare
footed.-Home Progress.

bag over a wide tin pan and let the

FIVE COWS, A GIRL
and A BIG AUTO
Romance of a Young Lawyers

Highway.
BY ADA NIXON.

Press.)
Young Harold Inlay Of Chester
had graduated in law and been taken
into partnership with his father. He
was having what he called little
fling before settling down to the stern
business of law, and he had an auto
to help him out. The auto revolved
around the country at various speeds,
none of which was less than forty
miles an hour.
On certain morning when it was
taken out to scorch upthe highway it
refused to scorch. In fact, it went
dead" That's not so very rare a
case. There is a little something out
of kilter and the man that knows how
can remedy it in few minutes. The
trouble in this case was that nobody
in the village knew how. The clock
tinker, the blacksmith, the cobbler
and the doctor all diagnosed and pre-
scribed, but without avail. Then tin
peddler came along and hoped off
his wagon and fused for a minute

The auto was now all right. The
young lawyer offered free seats, but
they were declined with thanks. It
wasn't their day for dying. The de-
cliners saw man and machine disap-
pear down the highway like cannon
ball and felt that it was good to be
alive and have dinner coming to them.
Very few lawyers take any mans
word for anything, and not one in ten
would believe peddler under oath.
Young Inlay hadn't cut his legal eye
teeth yet, and he fondly believed. He
would have said to jury that the
peddler could have no possible

OF the guilt Of the accused. Perhaps
the man did not knowingly lie. Per-
haps he thought a balky auto could
be fxed as easily as balky wheel

SAFETY OF STATE FARM THREATENED IEVEES ARE ENDANGERED BANKS OF ARKANSAS RIVER RAPIDLY CAVING-GOVERN-
 MENT AID ASKED.

Little Rock, April 20.-Members of the Linwood and Auburn levee board held a conference Friday with the penitentiary board with regard to the Hood situation at the convict farm break in the levee endangering the lives and property of ten thousand people in several counties, and 100 miles of railroad track. The caving bank of the Arkansas river has ap- preached within 120 feet of the pres ent levee, having lost about 60 yards during the recent rise It is feared that the June rise will take out the rest of the bank, when the levee would be sure to go.
 Upon the advice of Engineer c. C.. Price, the levee board requested per nilsson to build a new loop across the state farm, back of the present levee, cutting off about 100 acres of the farm, including all the buildings except the cotton gin. The state has already lost over 100 acres of tillable land, washed into the river. There is a frontage of about 2,50O feet exposed to the caving bank.
 Governor Donaghey wired the sec- retary of war to send engineers inn mediately to make an investigation and recommend action, and the gov ernor was empowered to represent the board
 The members present were G. Wat erman of Dumas, chairman; S. A. Woods of Sarassa, w. R. Keirly of Staple, B. F. Ingram of Grady, c. c. Price, engineer, of Dumas, and J. Bernhardt of Dumas, attorney.
 The governors of the southern states were in telegraphic communi- cation Friday, and when it was found that they could not hold the contemp- lated conferences at Helena or Mem phis, it was agreed that each should take up the question with his con- gressional delegation and urge the appropriation of sufficient money with which to rebuild the levees along the Mississippi. Unless this is done, the rebuilding will occasion great dis tress, as the people are already heav- fly taxed to pay for what the flood has washed away, and many are practically ruined.
 The governor added Harry Kelley of Fort Smith, now at Helena, to the committee that is to go to Washing ton for conference Monday with the congressional committees.
 Charles L. Magee, secretary of the Red Cross, has notified Governor Donaghey by wire that the organiza- tion has placed $1,000 at the disposal of Major R. B. Miller, Medical Corps, U. s. A., for the employment of physicians to care for all flood ref ugees.
