ASKS SCHOOL OF ADJECTIVES
College Education Falls to Improve
Vocabulary of Women, Says
Writer.

Surely there must be something
the matter with a vocabulary of our
young people, says Life, when they
have to depend SO exclusively upon
such words as "Surew DANDY p
and Wonderful p to express their
principal emotions. What is most
extraordinary about all this is that
the vocabulary of young women does
not seem to be improved by college
career. One would think that it
would be quite impossible to study
Latin and French and German, lit
erature and philosophy for a number
of years (even though studied in the
most superficial manner) without
acquiring enough variety of words to
carry one through any common expe-
rience. The method of studying
English in our schools is entirely
wrong. There should be classes in
adiectives.

SYRIA GIVES US LIC0RIcE
With the Exception Of the Damascus
Output, the Whole Trade ls In
Hands of One Firm.

Very few people, says Wide World
Magazine, have any idea where the
familiar licorice root comes from. As
a matter of fact, the bulk of it halls
from Syria. Here it is gathered and
piled into great stacks, where it re-
mains until it is thoroughly dry. It
is then taken to the factory to under
go certain processes. The finished
product is used for favoring confec-
tionery and beer, as well as entering
into the makeup of many kinds of
tobacco. Some idea of the extent Of
the industry may be gathered when
it is stated that, on an average, 5000
tons of dry licorice root is shipped
from Aleppo annually, while Bagdad
yields another 5000 tons, Antioch
1000, and Damascus 800 tons- With
the exception Of the Damascus out
put, the whole trade is in the hands
of single firm.

PACKING HOUSE HEAD
MIR. We'll, Head of the We'll
Packing Plant, Here
Yesterday

Mr.. We'll, head o f the We'll
Packing Plant t Little Rock,
made a special trip to this place
yesterday to figure on a herd OF
several hundred beef cattle, the
property of the Butler Planting
Co., three miles east of town.
Mr.. We'll. in speaking of stock
conditions, said that his company
experienced little trouble in get
ting all the cattle necessary to
operate their plant from inside
the state, but that a large per
cent of the hogs butchered had
to be shipped in from elsewhere.
He further said that he saw no
reason for this condition, as there
is good money in raising hogs IN
Arkansas and that they meet with
ready sale, and at good prices, to
the packing houses of the state
He remarked that he not only

in many instances they were too
small for packing house use, and
that our people should be en-
couraged to raise larger hogs.
The We'll Packing Plant is one

cial enterprises in the state, and
they began operations about a
wear ago. Their trade territory
includes Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Boston and other big trade cen
tiers, where they ship quantities

NOTED VETERANS OF FOREST
3eest Tree in Germany Recently
Destroyed, but There Are Many
Large Ones in England.

"The biggest tree in Germany"
the big oak tree at Treisbach, has
been destroyed by a vandal, who
lighted a fire inside of it. A similar
fate nearly befell one Of the famous
oaks Of Sherwood forest, in Eng
land, two years ago, when some holl-
dav folks set on fire the dry interior
Of that withered but partly still
green old monarch, called robin
Hoods Larder." Thanks to some
woodmen, who we're at hand, the fire
was but out, but the tree was serl-
ouslv damaged. What is perhaps the
most glorious Of surviving old oaks
Of Sherwood, the ''Major Oak at
Ollerton," runs no such risk at the
hands of mischief makers. Lord
Manvers has set one Of his workmen
to guard the veteran king OF the
forest.
The German tree that was de-
etroved measured in girth AZ feet,
and it was 1900 years old. That
measurement easily beats that Of
the Major oak, for the Major oak
is credited only with a girth OF 81
feet.
The Cowthrope oak at Wetherby
in Yorkshire, was bigger, with 8
measurement of SO feet. 1t is but
a ruin now.
The Great Newland oak II
Worcestershire was bigger than tht
German oak; it had a girth Of 4
feet at height Of five feet from th'
ground.
The estimated age Of the German
tree is only surmise. Nobody cal
tell the precise age Of ancient oaks
DRYDEN fixed the popular conception
at 1000 years, and arboricuiturist
think that some Of the English oak
NAV have been acorns in the Saxol
times. -

MAINTENANCE OF
DIRT ROADS
VALUABLE POINTERS
FROM
HIGHWAY Commissioner DYE
Drag Should Be Used When
Roadbed Is In Proper Con-
dition For Best Results

In last weeks bulletin attention
was called to the necessity for
dragging the road at this time of
the year. 1t is exceedingly i'm
portant that this dragging be
done at the opportune time. If
your roads are too soft, the drag
will have the effect of plows. If
your road is too dry, the drag
will not take hold. The object of
dragging is to give your road a
surface to sustain the traffic, as
well as a roof to shed the water
which may fall.
Be careful to see that sticks
and stones are thrown from the
Oftentimes a drag will
uncover loose stones that may be
lying just underneath the sur
face. Take time to pick these
stones out and throw them to
one side. Every moment spent
in this character of work is worth
much to your road. No road can
be successfully maintained with
different characters of material
in its surface makeup. Holes in
a clay road should not be filed
with gravel, sandy loan or other
than clay. The same is
true of sandy loan the gumbo
soil and other materials. The
rocks in the road make hard
spots, consequently producing
holes in your road. Get them
out during dragging OF before
