Don't KnoD What 10 Anspcr.''
Dear Miss Libbey: In looking over I
magazine l noticed an advertisement about
taking a course of sewing lessons through
the mails, and as l am quite an expert at
sewing, wrote for information papers, which
stated that it would cost $3.50 for com
plete course. Now, as am parxisa woman
and have four children, don't feel as if my
husband could pay that much at tho present
time. What want to ask you is. What su-
swer will give to this lady, as she has WRIT
ten twice to find out my plans and / don't
know to what to answer? R1TA.''
Simply write and tell the woman that you
have changed your plans and have decided
that you will not take the course. Ii she
continues to poster you with mail, just ignore
1t. You are in no way bound to reply 10
her correspondence.

GATES IS OPTIMISTIC
Believes Increased Assessments Will Provide for States Needs
 and Pay Debts.

Little Rock, May 2l.-Tax Com missioner David A. Gates is opti- mistic toward the future finances of the state. He believes that the increased revenues to be derived from increased assessments and other sources will not only take care of the increased demands made upon the state, but will wipe out the deficit in a few years and put the state once more upon a sound basis the year round.
 He called attention to the fact that in i2 years the assessments of the state have increased from S255, ,267,- = 6S1 to S427 ,46S,099 The increase in four years has been $l7,000,000 He estimates that the revenues derived from the increased assessments, from the insurance taxes and from the franchise tax for the year end ing July 10, 1914, will aggregate about S306,000 in excess of the amount of taxes being collected this year. The present deficit is about S600000.

LANDSLIDE HITS
 TRAIN; SIX DEAD
Thrown 300 Feet Down Mountain side by Tumbling Mass of Earth and ROck-ClOudburSt the
 Cause.

Hinton, w. Va. May 20.-Six per- sons are believed to have been killed and a number injured to- night when a Chesapeake and Ohio train was swept down a steep mountain side by a landslide The train, composed of an engine, three freight cars and a caboOse, the lat ter carrying passengers, had been stopped between Sewell and Land isburg so that debris deposited by a cloudburst early in the day might be cleared away. While this work was in progress, another slide oc- cured and the train was thrown from the tracks down 300 feet of the mountainside.
 Among the dead are James Wal ker of Hinton, a travelling sales man, and Mrs. Amick of Landis- burg. A young girl is known to have been killed. Three other pas sengers, all men, known to have been aboard the caboose, have not been seen since the accident, and are believed to be dead under the wreckage.
 The tarin left Sewell at 6 o'clock and encountered number of small landslides along the right of-way. Several times it was nec- essary to clear away debris befofre proceeding.
 The slide that engulfed the train and sent it rolling down the noun tainside in a tumbling mass of rock, earth. steel and timber, came without warning. While the crew was working to clear the track there was a terrific roar and be- fore anyone could save themselves the crash came.

A NEW ENEMY TO
 ARKANSAS CORN
Southern Corn Leaf Beetle, Which Has Often Destroyed Many Acres, Has Been Discovered in
 Jackson County.

Little Rock, May i6.-According to the bureau on entomology of the U. s. department of agriculture, the southern corn leaf beetle has been discovered in Arkansas.
 This insect" writes F. NJ. Web ster, investigator, 'bresks out spas medically in various parts of the country, often totally destroying hundreds of acres of corn, but not, to our knowledge, occurring two years in succession in destructive abundance in the same locality. We have been carrying on investiga- tions of this species for number of years, and are quite anxious to learn of the occurrence of de- structive outbreak SD that we may complete our investigations and find out the best methods of pre- venting its raNages."
 The pest has been reported on the farm of J. w. Lindley at Ken yon, Jackson county, and MT. Web ster advises that E. o. c. Kelly, in- vestigator at Wellington, Kas., will make a personal investigation. MT. Lindley reported the pest to Com missioner Page as follows, and MT. Page took it up with the depart ment:
 Our neighborhood is very much alarmed over what is known here as wire worms. They made their appearance here eight or ten years ago, but did not do much harm un- til two years ago. 1 lost about 30 acres of cotton last year, and about the same amount of corn. I can not tell how much I will lose this year, as they are more numerous than ever before. There must be something done and done quickly, or the agricultural interests of my neighborhood will be ruined"

WAITING FOR DATE
 OF GREAT REUNION
Chattanooga Prepared to Care for 100000 to 150,0OO People When the Soldiers of the Con-
 federacy Gather.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 19.-The reunion of the Confederate veter- ans, being only week in advance of the present date, makes some observations and statements con- corning the preparedness of Chat tanooga to entertain the veterans and visitors pertinent in this cor respondence.
 No reunion organization ever worked harder to be ready for the event than that of Chattanooga. Three months have been devoted to the work, and it is completed.
 Camp Stewart, by far the largest single job on the list, has been put In first class condition, ready for its thousands of guests. Tents are up and cots and blankets in place. The dining tent and kitchen equipment are complete in every detail. A force has been engaged to handle this end of the big enterprise,
 itItN Ol INOOlI.
 Letters come to the officials of the Chattanooga Reunion Associa- ton from various points of the south, asking if there will be room Tn Chattanooga to accommodate the crowd. There seems to be some fear Ihak the community will not be equal to the emergency. When Chattanooga invited the Confeder- acy to hold their reunion here there was a clear understanding of what would be expected of the commu- nity in the way of entertainment.
 At the outset of the preparations for the reunion, it was decided to make all necessary arrangements for the entertainment of not less than 100000, and not more than l50,000. Chattanooga can comfort ably entertain 100000, and by crowding a little l50O00 can be ac- commodated. If it becomes neces- sary, even the school houses and churches of Chattanooga, and ev- cry public building of the city and county, will be used as places where men may sleep on cots. How ever, that will not be necessary, un- less double the number of people that have attended other reunions present themselves at Chattanooga. People who desire to attend this re- union are assured that they will find comfortable lodgings and all of the hotel and restaurant service that may be necessary to supply food. That much is assured.
 Chattanooga has undertaken to entertain the survivors of the Con- federate army, and there is no doubt whatever that the goods will be delivered May 27-29.

Little Rock, May 20.-A meeting will be held at the Hotel Marion tomorrow, "Wednesday, for the pur- pose of organizing a State Auto mobile Club, to be affiliated with the National Association of Auto mobile Clubs.

The meeting was called by the Little Rock Motor Club, and as there are about 7,500 automobiles in the state, it is expected there will be a large attendance. One of the things in which automobilists all over the country are interested is the establishment of the route for the great rans-continental high way, which it is expected will pass through Arkansas.

MEX. GOVERNMENT
 JUST SURE TO FALL
Native and Foreign Residents of the Capital Think Government Is Doomed Either With or
 or Without Money.

Mexico City, May 19.-Pessimism at the Mexican capital continues dominant. With or without money, the administration, in the opinion of thousands of residents, both na- tive and foreign, is bound to fall. These men believe that interven- ton by the United States or some other power might prevent the overthrow, but, left alone, that the Huerta government will see itself slowly crushed backward against the wall of the Constitutionalists
 Francisco l. MaderO, alive, never could induce any considerable number of men to take arms in de- fense of his government, but Ma dero, dead, has proved a far more potent figure. Any estimate of the number of rebels is largely a guess, but it is safe to assume that in no previous revolution have there been in the field so many men armed and working so closely to- gether.
 It was not the lack of money that handicapped the government so badly in the opening days of the rebellion as it was the smallness and inef1iciency of the army. There was a fair part of the irregular establishment which could not be counted on, and when an investi- gation was made it vas discovered that not every name on the payroll was backed by soid:er present or accounted for
 It was believed, how aVac. that with money to continue the pay of the soldiers and to organize and equip new bodies. the government would whip the rebels. The more hopeful said that if the govern ment could hold them off for a year or more it would win, but the majority regarded the chance slight even in that case.

ANOTHER RAT STORY.

Ben Owens, for many years a widely known resident of Polk county, now of Cow Creek, Ok, was in Mena Tuesday, and tells a rat story almost equal to that related by D. L. Holliday-but not so stren- uOuS.
 Mr. Owens says that a few days ago his boys discovering that there was a nest of rats in a brush pile, asked permission to burn it. Dur ing the fire there was a general slaughter, partaken in by four rat terriers, a shepherd dog, boys and men. The final count showed from 5 to 55 dead rats, and Mr. Owen says from foo to 300 got away. He says the Varmints are a great pest in that district

WORRY OVER ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Officials Cant Make Appropriation
 Cover the Cost.

Little Rock, May 20.-The state officials, especially the penitentiary commission, continues to work over the question of how they may be able to install an electric chair and death chamber for the electro cution of criminals with an appro- priation of only Sl,500 Electric companies want almost twice that amount, and if it is built here on plans secured from Sing Sing or some other eastern prison, there will be a preliminary expense of several hundred dollars. The ques- ton was under discussion Monday afternoon with Governor Futrell, without reaching any definite con- clusion.

FRANCE THE NEXT VICTIM?
Women Lawyers in Paris Have
 Suffragette Clients.

Paris, May 19.-Women lawyers in Paris are increasing rapidly, and many of them are looking into the affairs of the sutfragettes, who say that it will only be a matter of a short time before the advocates of votes for women in France will have as hard a time as their Eng fish sisters are experiencing.
 Paris has more than a dozen women lawyers, of whom Mile. Chauvin. doctor of law, is the eld- est by seniority. She has practiced for about fl years. Mme. Verone is also well known as criminal lawyer, pleading at the Assizes. Practically all her clients are wom- en. Miss Van Dorp was the first Dutch woman barrister, and her first case was before the Higher Court of The Hague, where she de- tended a peasant accused of theft.

Aaed Woman Near Death.

Aunt Maggie Jones of Board Camp, more than seventy years of age, who fell and broke a leg close to the hip joint some weeks ago, is said by A. E. Wear, in Mena Friday, to be in a very serious condition and fears are entertained of her recovery. At first it was thought the fracture could not be reduced, but after a lapse of some weeks this was attempted successfully, it is thought by Drs. Lee and Van diver, but the patient is said to be in a greatly weakened condition at this time owing to her injury and extreme age.
