ED KING. NEGRO, ELECTROCUTED
Second to Die in Chair in Arkansas
 No Effort t0 Save Him.

Little Rock. Dec. l2.-(Special.) The second elcctrocutiOn under the act of 1913 occurred today at the state penitentiary, when Ed King, a negro, met death in the electric chair for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Will Wood in Ashley coun- ty last October. There was no ap- peal taken in his case, and no effort whatever to save his life.
 Officer Wood had attempted to arrest him on a minor charge, when he was shot and killed by the black, who escaped and was captured a few days later in Union county.
 State Senator J. R. Wood and an other brother, and Town Marshal Ashcraft of Huttig, who captured King, arrived Thursday and were present at the execution today.

"A short Iime ago I contracted severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of annoyance. l would have bad cough ing spells and my lungs were so sore and inflamed I began to be seriously alarmed.

Just mindedness and charitableness in old age never proceeded from unfair play, and a mind given to hate and meanness in youth. Sweet old age never grew from a soured and warped childhood.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting. gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning. shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

be cut OF an inch or SO below the sur
face of the ground
The actual Joining Of stock and
scion may be by the tongue grating
method, groove grating, cleft graft
ing. split grating, slip grating, crown
grating or splice grating. The best
kind to use will depend upon whether
your stocks are larger than the scions,
or of equal size. II the stock is larger
than the scion it would be better to
use the cleft or split graft, but II the
scion and stock are about the same
size perhaps the best method would
be by the splice graft. In this the
oblique and equally slanting face, SO
that when the faces are brought to-
gether the tree will point directly up
ward.
1t will be best to have little shout
der at the upper end of the slant on
the stock; that is, cut about half
inch of the upper slanting side of the
stock squarely of, then cut square
Offset on the side of the scion at the
upper end of the oblique, slantsng cut.
Let the Offset be as deep as the shout
der on the upper part of the stock, SO
the two will fit snugly together, with
the two cambium layers exactly oppo-
site here. as we'll as down the slanting
faces pressed against each other.
When the grating is done on a
stock below the surface of the ground
very little wrapping with waxed cloth
or otherwise Is necessary, but little
cotton Irvine may be wrapped around
the graft where the joining was made,
or two very small rubbers may be
placed around this spliced joining to
keep 1t well pressed together. Push
the rubbers down over the stock,
make the cuts and the joining and
then work the two rubbers up around
the spliced place. The scion should
be not more than four inches long

What makes me really mad" said
the woman, "is to spend minutes may
be hours, trying to. get ..f5ld Of white
hair that shows up on my head like
a dazzling light, yet which is tantaliz-
ingiy elusive when l try to catch it,
and then when l do finally separate
1t from the brown hair and give it a
vigorous pull, to find that have
snatched out good brown hair and
left the white one still shining!"

and with not over two buds upon It,
with the upper bud within an inch of
the upper end of the scion. The cut
place at the top OF the scion should be
painted or coated with tar to keep
moisture out until the place heals
over.
After the grating is done and the
spliced place is wrapped with cord or
fastened together with rubbers the
dirt should be packed around the trees
to level with the lower part of the
splice, and around the splice up almost
to the last bud on the scion should
be gently pressed little ball of soft,
adhesive clay. Then the dirt may be
drawn still further up around this
ball of clay, making a little hill. The
clay should be kept moistened we'll
for a week or more, if the grating has
been done in the summer, until you
are sure the graft is going to live. Use
an ordinary hand sprinkler, moisten-
ing the gratis six or seven times a
day for the first three or four days.
then If the buds open quickly and look
green and fresh gradually diminish the
amount of water given them and the
frequency of the application, but If
the weather keeps warm and dry they
would better be sprinkled once a day,
preferably in the early morning, for
four or five weeks after the joining
was made.
1t is said that the secret of success
is the taking of infinite pains, and
surely in no other kind of work is
this SO true as of grating tender, ex-
otto fruit and nut trees upon hardy
Seeding stocks. But II the proper
process is thoroughly mastered 1t may
become SO mechanical. so much mat
ter of routine, than 1t can be done thus
carefully almost as easily as IL done
carelessly, with but little thought to
small but important details.
