ing Interest in Farming.

system of moving pictures embrac-
ing the latest venture of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in agricultural edu-
cation has just been introduced. The
department has started cat several
bright young operators with machines
that illustrate with moving pictures some
of the most up-to-date processes in
modern farming, and at the same time
furnish entertainment for all the mem
bers of rural communities.
The department experimental a good
deal in getting an apparatus that was
light and compact, and at the same time
would answer the purpose. 1t finally got
a moving picture outfit that would go
into an ordinary dress suit case and
developed q system oil illumination for
the films that made use of an ordinary
automobile gas tank, SO that if the
demonstration were in a region where
electricity was not available the gas
tank could be hitched to the apparatus
and a show could be given in any town
where there was an automobile supply
place in reach.

 The jury had considered the case for several hours, following a two days trial, and their verdict was awaited with much interest. The case has attracted more attention than any criminal case here since the trial of Honeycutt, number of years ago.
 On the night of December > south hound Iron Mountain freight train No, 92, with o. k. Ogden conductor, was boarded by two or three men, among them Willis, and as the train was cov- ering the stretch between TraskWood and this city an attempt was made to hold up and rob the occupants of a Freight car by Willis and his pals, A fight ensued. in which Robert Young CT. travelling snowman, was shot He continued fighting, however, and succeeded in routing the robbers from the train.
 Subsequently,, Younger was brought to Little Rock. where he succumbed to his wounds. Willis escaped from the car but was afterwards arrested here, charged with the murder of Younger, and practically admitted that he did the killing but claimed self de- fense.

PAPER Cannon.

To the amazingly long list of ar
ticles made of paper there may be
added paper cannon, which have been
manufactured at the Krupp works, in
Germany. These paper field pieces
are for special use Of the infantry.
Their caliber is a little less than two
inches, and the pieces are so light
that a soldier can easily carry one.
But the resistance is greater than that
of a field piece of steel of the same
caliber. 1t is not to be understood
that these paper guns are in any way
to replace those made of steel. The
paper arms are intended merely for
uses in situations where the move
ment of field artillery would be i'm
practicable. Paper artillery on the field
of battle seems an extraordinary
thing, but it is hardly more so than
paper wheels for freight cars on rail-
ways appeared when they were first
introduced, or, for that matter. than
paper water pals were.

FIvE-MINUTE SCALP MASSAGE
PerseVered In, This Treatment Will
Bring Best Results and Hair
Will Not Become Oily.


If Your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff, get a bottle .fof ordinary red
vaseline. Put very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger of your
hand; then rub the. tips of the fingers
of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only q slight oniness
of all the finger tips. Next place the
finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
Of the hair, one hand at either side
of the head. 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape of the
neck, or on the forehead, but wher-
ever you do start, let the hands be an
even distance apart. For instance,
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each
temple, slowly and gently forward, I'M
til they meet at the crown Of the head,
then draw them back to the starting
point in the same manner. Repeat
this operation until the finger tips be
come dry, when more vaseline should
be applied to them. By means of this
five minute massage more vaseline is
rubbed into the scalp than one real
ICES, and it is well nourished thereby
If the massage is properly carried
out, that is to say, always started at
the hair line, and little vaseline used,
the hair will not become the least oily
as a result

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE HOME
Serenity and Wisdom Of wife and
Mother Dew and Sunshine 20
Growing Souls

Wherever the great and beautiful
work Of art, a home, had come into
being, the wife and mother has had
her paramount existence in that home
though her interests and activities
have not necessarily been limited to
its sphere, declares Ellen Key in the
Atlantic But husband and children
have been able to count on her in the
home as they could count on the fire
On the hearth, the cool shade under
the tree, the water in the well, the
bread in the sacrament Thus upon
husband and children is bestowed the
experience which a great poet gained
from his mother. '-An became to her
q WREATH" A wreath where every
days toll and holidays joy, hours OF
labor and moments of rest, were leaf
and blossom and ribbon. The wise
educator is never one who is "educat-
ing" from morning to night. She Is
one who, uncOnsciously to the chill
dren, brings to them the chief susie
nance and creates the supreme con-
ditions for their growth Primarily
she is the one who. through the Sc
renity and wisdom of her own ma
tuTe, is dew and sunshine to growing
souls. She is one who understands
how to demand in just measure, and
to give at the right moment She is
once whose desire is law, whose smile
is reward, whose disapproTal is pun

IMPROVING SKIN OF THROAT
Just a Few Minutes Each Day, With
Proper Applications, Will Rc-
compIish Wonders.

II the skin of the throat is loose and
baggy, dip the tips of your fingers in
alcohol, massage from the throat up
ward toward the chin, and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and a half min
utes, and the remaining two and a
half massage with a pure skin food
along the same lines. You will find
that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and
that if the skin food is applied quick
" after. it, too, will sink quickly in.
When finished give the throat few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now, if you wish the best results,
do not put OF starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment, for then five minutes will
hardly suffice. Start right in now and
make a fiye-minute massage a part Of
your daily toilet. Keep it up and in
time you cannot help but notice de-
cided change in your skin. Five min
utes may not seem worth while, but it
will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess, besides keeping in
allegiance the many troublesome blem-
ishes which affect the skin
