LETTERING FOR THE LINEN
Many Old Designs and Shapes to Be

Cleaning Curtains.

Many housewives own curtains OF
arabian lace. They realize that q
great amount of their beauty Is lost
after washing. The lovely ecru tint
has disappeared, and to recOlor them
is not always satisfactory.
These curtains can be dry cleaned
in the following manner:
Spread a sheet or two upon the floor
and lay the curtains carefully on them.
Mix two parts of boiled cornmeal
with one of salt
With a clean brush rub this mix
ture Thoroughly through the curtains.
Hang out of doors for couple OF
hours and the curtains win be sweet
and clean.
In this simple way they may be fire.
qnently cleaned. If the dust is not al
lowed to settle in them for any length
of time, they will wear much longer.

Practical Violet Holder.

An extremely simple and practical
rubber novelty comes in the shape OF
bunch of violets and is designed for
the protection of a gown when the
natural flowers are worn.
It is made of green rubberized silk,
the shade of the violet leaves and is
outlined with a green wire. When
worn it effeekually prevents the pene-
tration OF any moisture to the gown.
The wire edge permits of shaping the
holder to the bouquet proper and the
latter is then attached to the corsage
OF wherever else desired.

SEEKS INFORMATION
 ON HIGHWAY LAW

Little Rock, May 16.-Over 100 ap- plications have been received by Con- missioner Dye of the state highway commission, for information relative to the organization of road improve ment districts under the new law. Among the latest is letter from Sen ator Freeman of Rogers, who repre- sents citizens interested in the promo tion of several districts in Benton county.
 Hon. A. V. Smith, author of the bill, says that it is the fruit of long and laborious application and study of the road laws of all the states, the best parts of each being incorporated into the Arkansas statute. He predicts that great good will come from it and that if it stands the test for ten years it will fully demonstrate the hopes of it's promoters.

HAL.

Hal is a we'll known combination horse. He stands 16 hands high !; color, coal black; eight years old. Hal really needs no introduction to the people of Faulkner county. He was foaled and raised at Conway, Arkan- sas, by Stonewall Anderson, and for the last five years has made this stand. Hal is given up by all who know him to be the best all-purpose horse in this county. He is very fine saddle horse, and goes all the gaits- six in all-walk, fox-trot, pace, slow lope, singlefoot, straight trot. He is a nice driving horse, has plenty of style, will trot straight or singlefoot; goes either one in about a three-minute clip; has plenty of speed for a road ster. He will do all kinds of farm and road work. He has plenty of colts that advertise him better than a news paper can. During the last five years he has had plenty of service, but we feel like he deserves a good boost. His patrons increase as he is better known. He is bred of the Hal stock and his sire was a $5,000 horse. Car furnish pedigree. He will stand al the Fair Grounds.
 He will make one stand only at Con way. Price, $10. Will do all in my power to avoid accidents, but will mol be responsible should any occur. Sea

The Arkansas State Normal School was victorious in Saturdays game with the Arkansas Deaf Mute Insti- ute on Hendrix field, the final count being 8 to 5.

Browning, the teachers pitcher, was found for Il safe swats, two of which were for extra bases. Capt. Lux of the visitors was the star batter of the afternoon, swelling his average by getting three hits out of five trips to the plate. Two of his hits were for two cushions.

Little Rock, May 16.-Notwith- standing the hard fight that was made in the courts year ago with refer ence to the referendum to acts affect ing counties, efforts continue to be made to refer such acts to the people. Petitioners are trying to have act 3O1, the Mississippi county stock law, re- ferred, but Attorney General Moose has advised the secretary of state to hold up on filing the petition. In the cases of Dowdy vs. Hodges and Dowdy vs. Hammett, the supreme court has clearly held that such petitions cannot be filed, as the referendum act does not apply to such cases.

HAYS D|SAPPROyFD SENATOR SELECTION
OPPOSED TO ROBINSON
CANDIDATE DECLARES HE DE, . FLORES CREATION OF PRES
 ENT9 VACANCY.

Somewhat to the surprise of many who heard him in his speech here late Saturday afternoon, Judge George w. Hays of Camden condemned almost as vigorously as his opponent in the race for governor, Stephen Brundidge, the election by the legislature of Governor Joe T. Robinson to the United States senate. Judge Hays not only said that he disapproved of the policital machi- nations causing vacancy in the gov ernor's office, but pointed to the fact that both the representative and sen- ator from his home county, Ouachita, had voted for MT. Brundidge and against MT. Robinson, and that he himself was interested in the candida cy of a fellow-townsman, who would thave entered the senate race had there been no election on the first ballot.
 Despite the late hour of beginning This speech, due to an accident to his auto between Vilonia and Conway, Judge Hays was heard here by good crowd. He began speaking at 4 o'clock, being introduced by Judge r. H. Prince The first portion of his address was devoted to reply to charges against him by his opponent. Judge Hays explained that he had not resigned as circuit judge, because the people of that district, the only ones interested, had urged him to continue in office and were strongly supporting him in his race. As to the charge that he had violated the corrupt practices act in sending out the Kensett Key
 note editorial without his signature, Judge Hays said that every piece Of literature from his headquarters bore his name, either on the circular or the wrapper, and that he had never seen the Keynote editor and was in no wise responsible for his utterances.
 Judge Hays advocated removing the deficit in the states finances by rais- ing the assessments of the wealthy of tEe state, without increasing the tax rate. He favored liberal approprla- tions for Confederate veterans and ed ucafion. He said the creation of penitentiary commission was a step Tn the right direction, and declared that
