marked his seventh term in the
Legislature.
"Mr. Gray is intensely indi-
.vidual in personality, which
fact made him a figure in the
legislature and in the senate.
He knew but one guiding light
duty. He has verwandered
away with the crowd Just to be
in the majority. He has stuck
in the minority on more occa-
casions than one because he
felt it right to do so, and his
friends point with pride to the
fact that he is rarely wrong.
"As one of the many instan-
ces of his inclination to advo-
cate measures with merit and
stick to them in spite of the OPP
position, we cite the sand and
gravel statute, which is law
of his making, and of more inn
portance than some would be-
lieve.In the year 1913 Mr.Gray
introduced the sand and gravel
bill, which has for its purpose
to collect revenue from the cor
poratlons taking sand and grav-
ell from the navigable streams
of the state. twenty-five years
ago the supreme court decided
that all the sand and gravel of
the navigable streams of Ark
ansas is property of the state.
but it was left for Mr.. Gray to
initiate measure providing for
the collection of revenue from
the quantities taken fromthese
streams. He met with all sort of
opposition to the bill from some
who had grown rich selling
sand and gravel that belonged
to the state, and who had not
paid a cent for material, but he
won the majority over to his
way of thinking, and since the
law went into effect more than
5000, 900 has been collected and
placed into the common road
fund of the state from this
source.This money is apportion-
ed among the different coun-
ties in the same manner in
which the state school funds
are distributed.

Enjoyable Evening at Arden"

Enjoyable Evening at Arden
At "Arden," their country place,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Sistrunk were host
and hostess last evening to a jolly
party entertaining two dozen friends.
The crowd motored out, some early in
the afternoon, others at five O'Clock
and those going early devoted their
time to hunting, the estate affording
excellent advantages for the killing of
game.
At dark the party assembled at the
cane mill, where cane grinding has
been in progress for a week. Here
bonfires were built and a bountiful
game supper relished, Mrs. Sistrunk
serving with the turkey, squirrels and
fried chicken, all products of Arden,
other edibles that go to complete a
supper in the woods. The feast was
done full justice to by the crowd who,
while awaiting supper, appeased the
appetite by chewing cane and drink
ing the juice.
The principal incentive for the
gathering was 'possum hunt and no
sooner had supper been concluded
than the party with the exception of
two or three who were unwilling to be
enveloped by the darkness and wilder
ness, started out with dogs to find the
'possum, and the trip was not in vain
for when the hunters returned short
ly after IL o'clock the result of the
several miles tramp was visible in
flesh. The remains of the supper was
then enjoyed and in addition to this,
oranges were passed, after which the
homeward journey was begun.
The auxiliary board of the Marion
County Hospital met yesterday aft
ernoon at the home of Mrs. W. K. Ze-

In the midst of many suggestions
as to how we may best preserve and
intensity the Christmas spirit, the
"tree" stands as perhaps the most
satisfying answer Gifts shall be Civ
en-, the poor shall be fed, and the
needy supplied. But, above these
worthy and needed means of shedding
abroad the Christmas spirit, the
Christmas tree hangs like a Christ
mas star-a brighter and sweeter
means. Could any thing be nicer
than a great big outdoor tree, to
which all the people in the town be
invited, a fairy tree just moved in out
of the forest, covered with magic
lights glowing under the stars. A
tree that belongs to everybody in
Ocala, that every child in town can
have part in. Ocala had such a tree
last year, the gift of the civic COM
mittee of the Woman's Club, and the
same committee hopes to repeat it
this year. In spite of war times and
hard times our children must have
some Christmas cheer, and the getting
together to sing Christmas carols, not
Just few who belong to this Sunday
school or that, but all the children in
town, seems very good way. The
tree was an inspiration last year, let
US have it every year.

A right handed man in making q

the fright handed spiral. OF that
which curves counter clock-wise.
In his book. 1.-The Curves Of Life"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curve of q carpenters shavtngs
whether he was right or left handed.
as a right handed carpenter invariably
drives bis plane a little to the left,
producing right handed screws, while
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane a little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and cOrkscrews are right
hand screws unless made for some
special purpose. Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard
ware dealer. Coffin screws for some
unexplained reason are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed. and It has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
Of his heart on the left side. So all
tools and weapons have been adapted
to right handed e This is true Of
the adze. plane. scythe, gimlet. auger.
scissors. suffers, shears, etc.
The strongly left handed man will
continue to S such tools with his
left hand. even though with incon-
venience, but he in whom the left
handedness is not a strong bias be-
ONE ambidextrous through the use
Of the right handed contrivances and
appliances Of everyday life.
Mr.. Cook mentions many customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness Of man. Among
these is the rule of driving to the left.
which still obtains in England, Portu-
gal. Sweden and parts Of Austria, It.
ally and Switzerland. This is a sur
vival Of riding days, when men held
the reins in their left hands in order
to leave their right free. to use their
swords.
The most notable example of a left
handed artist is Leonardo da vinci. He
also wrote with his left hand and
wrote from right to left. So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings
must use a mirror. This, according to
Mr.. Cook. is the natural method of the
left handed man.

"When was a child. as sure as
Easter Monday came, | was taken to
see the children clip the churches
This ceremony was performed amid
crowds of people and shouts of joy by
the children of the different charity
schools, who at a certain hour iocked
together for the purpose. The first
Corners placed themselves hand In hand
with their backs against the church
and were Joined by their companions,
who gradually increased in number till
