THINGS AUNT MEHITABLE IS
 THANKFUL FOR.

Dear Sisters: I am very sorry to have seemed indifferent to the kindly interest which has been expressed in your letters to The Corner, by mention in stories, etc. I have also received pOstaIs and even notes from some of you. If Jou could only know how many times I have thought of you all and how numerous have been my reSolu- tionS to write; also some of the cir cumstances of the last six months, you would be inclined to forgive my si- lence.
 During the last week of May we moved, and before we were fully set tied in the new home 1 was taken sick It was many weeks before re- gained much energy. Duringsthe last three months we have had good deal of comp pany.
 I have read The Gunner each week and derived as much pleasure and benefit as ever from your letters.
 It really seems quite renarkable--in view of the fact that nearly every pa per and magazine has a column de- voted to household matterS-hoW many hints and helps that are new to us the Social Corner furnishes.

 Ready: It was good to see, letter from your pen. Of course, you were wise to defer reading The Corner when you could have such a beautiful drive. I have greatly enjoyed your descriptions of the scenes in and around Springfield.

These garters are made of pale pink CT blue satin shirred ever elastic and each is decorated with 6 little band of small satin flowers Another attrac tive sort is made of satM ribbon, shirred ever elastic and edged along the bottom with slightly gathered, soft cream lace.

 One of the shops shows table sets of doiIeys, as well as big tabae covers, embroidered with designs copied from those on willow china The pieces of table linen, of course, are for use with willow china. Each design shows >a waving willow tree. and two little the air In other details the designs differ. In some there is a small pa- goda in others gnaEled trees on the banks of little lakes. Each design on the linen is copied from designs on WiiIow-ware china. The linen is edged either with a hemStitched hem, or with, a scalIop worked in blue. the color used to ernbrCfder the willow designs. The work on this linen shown in the shops is done by ma chine. The smallest doibeys cost SA-50 a dozen. A big round tablecloth costs s20.
 And the work is machine work at that-but 1t is beautiful. Some of this linen might be copied. That is to say, any one who is moderately clever about designing could copy a design from a willow plate-at least ed-on plate doiley, and then could emDrotder it with blue cotton. The sort of linen to use Is a heavy, firm, but not stiff sort. The edges of the doileys can be Scalloped with a small, narrow blue Sca1lop.

Meat Dealers Association and the National Poultry, Butter and Eggs Association, met separate ly, but their programs were re- lated and they chose the same convention date because of their community of interest.
 The butter and egg men have as their prime object a unifica- tion of standards of classifica- ting poultry, butter and eggs.
 At the refrigeration conven- tion J. M. Bottemanne told the delegates how to tell good fish from bad.
 The criteria are: Good fish, skin is shiny, scales strongly ad- here to the skin; eyes transpa- rent and bulging; gills bright red; flesh elastic and firm; fin ger impressions do not remain ; mouth and gills nearly always closed; little or no slime on the skin: muscular stiffness evident to greater or less degree; sinks in water; after short time fshy smell and slime on back appears.

Meets Pathfinder.

Forrest City, Sept. 22.-Dr. J. o. Rush, president of the Cross State Highway Association of this city, left at 2 o'clock this af- ternoon for Brinkley to meet the pathfinder of the Southern Ma tional Highway, A. l.. Vest gaard, and party, who had wired him from Little Rock that he ex- pected to reach the St. Francis county line between 4 and 5 1 o'clock this afternoon, and it was thought the party would reach this city for supper.
 Up to a late hour tonight, how ever, the party had not arrived, which has led local autoists to conclude that the logging party has decided to spend the night in Brinkley. The Forrest City Au- tomobile Association has arrang- ed a reception and feed for the ocean to ocean party, on thier arrival in this city, and it is also planned to have three or four machines of this city pilot the strangers through the St. Fran cis Valley to Memphis. Included in the local party will be Dr. Rush and family, s. P. McDaniel and Senator F. w. DeRossit. In speaking of the trip tonight, Price McDaniel said he did not anticipate any trouble in being able to land the logging party in

blackbird, under the recent fed eral game law in $400.
 "This lawprescribes this fine" MT. Blank says, ''as the least punishment for killing any in- sectivorous or partially insectiv- orous bird, upon which no open season is mentioned in the text of the act. The blackbird comes within this classification. l be- lieve too, that the law is a good one. It is quite a nuisance to have the blackbirds roost near your house, but we must cease to kill our birds or this country will simply be devoured by noxious worms and bugs. This law will probably be disregarded until a deputy marshal drops down and hauls somebody into the federal court"

Cotton Men Meet.

Little Rock, Sept. 22.-An inn portant meeting as affecting cot ton interests took place this af- ternoon at the Board of Trade presided over by A. B. White, secretary of the Arkansas Cot ton Association. The questions considered were the penalty of $1 per bale prescribed by ocean carriers when bales do not con- form to the regulation gin box size, the guaranteeing of weights on sale of cotton and the paying of exchange.
 Regarding the first proposition it was maintained that the car riers meant only what they said, that bales must be ginned in reg ulation box and penalty could not apply on account of expansion. The attitude of the Board of Trade against buying when weights are not guaranteed and from paying exchange were both reaffirmed.
 Compress representatives, gin- ners and buyers attended the meeting from Little Rock and other points.
