ual powder puff balls, are among the
popular new fads that make lovely
Christmas gifts They are made of
chiffon, silk muslin or gauze, gathered
over a silk-covered embroidery hoop.
Hangers of light satin ribbon are
fastened at each side of the hoop with

finished with tiny bows of baby rib
bon matching the hangers in color

away.

bags, with ribbon hangers matching
the flowers in color. The little bows
are sewed to the balls. The bags hang
at the side of the dressing case for

and sides in masses, and Towering
plants, such as the smaller ANIMALS
and perennials, should be set in bor-
ders at the outer edge of the lawn or
along the base Of the house.
Some shrubs and vines may be
placed in angles around the house or
porch to simplify and soften the ag-
ricultural lines and make the dwelling
harmonic with its natural surround
ings.
Above all do not place flowerbed
or a rosebush right in the center Of
the lawn to destroy its unity, or use
fulness as a pleasure ground for walk
ing or playing.
Let the lawn be free, open, and
sweeping in extent, a place where
wholesome flooding sunlight pours the

dewdrops glitter with iridescence un.

rrsneh Routine

Writing from a hospital in England
where he was sent after severe en-
gagement near Ypres. a Canadian
says that, owing to the strain of liv
ing in these trenches. the usual rou
tine is as follows for any battalion:
Four days in the firing line, four days
in reserve. four days in the firing lins
again, four days in reserve, and theI
16 days behind in order to rest" This
is most definite proof of the ire
mendous strain troops must undergo
in modern warfare. when even afte,
this steady regime of relaxation cases
of shattered nerves are common IL

Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited to dresser scarfs, pin-cushion
cCvers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms. In the pic
ture dresser set is shown. including
scarf, pincushion and candle shade
The cretonne shows a red rose and
green foliage against black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. "A
square pincushion is covered first on
one side with small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over it. For
the other side considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over
wire frame and consists of a circu-
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
1t is sewed.

Arkansas People Buy
 Autos Despite Panic

Arkansas farmers may be
 "broke,' stocks in stores if
 Arkansas may be dusty, and things generally going to ruin,
 but just he same, Arkansas farmers have money enough to
 buy more automobiles than ever before, and more Arkan- sas people have automobiles than ever before. And this isn't a fair weather story based on optimism.
 Records in the office of the State Highway Commission at
 Little Rock show that 6,958 automobile licenses have been issued so far this year. And
 that figure tops las years re- cord by more than 1900. Dur ing the entire year of 1914 there were 5,642 automobile licenses issued-so far this year there have been 6,598 is issued and they still are being issued at the rate of from 10 to 20 a day. By the last of the year, 1t is expected the total will reach 5000 and maybe more than 5000.
 The average price of an automobile is $500, and 1900 times $500 is $1,040, 0,O00.That is the amount according to a rough estimate, of the money represented by Arkansa auto mobiles in excess of the aggre-
 gate value of cars owned in Arkansas last year.

WILSON REJECTS
 GERMAN OFFER
REFUSES TO BACK DOWN FROM FORMER POSITION
Further Violation of American Rights Will Mean Break in Friendly Relations.

Washinton, July 2t.-Pres- ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing, conferring at the White House tonight, complet- ed the new note to Germany, warning her that the repitition of a disaster such as that wis ited upon the Lusitania or any violation of American rights on the high seas resulting in the loss of American lives will be regarded as "unfriendly." It will be dispatched tomorrow.
 The note is in the nature of final statement by the Unit ed States of the interpretation that will be placed by this gov ernment on future transgres- sions of American rights and repeats that the American government will leave onthing undone to stand by the posi- tion 1t has previously declared.
 While nowhere in it is there any direct intimation of the course which the United States will pursue in the event of another similar to the Lusi- tania tragedy, there are em- phatic statements throughout the communication pointing out that the destruction of the principles involved has been virtually concluded and that future conduct of German sub- marine commanders will de- termine the responsibility for the friendly relations between the two countries.

RANEY INSTALLING
 OWN WATER SYSTEM

Senator T. J. Raney Is hay ing a private water system in- stalled at his residence in the north part of town. Senator Raney has one of the most modern and conveniently ar- ranged homes in Newark and the installation of a water sys- tenn leaves only one thing to be desired to give him all the conveniences of the modern city dweller, and that is cleo tric lights. In addition to all the modern home conveniences he has a miniature farm sur rounding his residence, and the immense yields produced this year from his garden, orchard and truck patches, entities him to be classed as a successful farmer.
 However, we suspect that a great deal of the credit for the family achievement is due to Mrs. Raney, for in both busi- ness and politics she is a tire less and successful worker, and when it come to farming she has her distinguished husband so badly beaten as to make him appear as still in the blow boy class.

Kills Wife Who Refus-
 ed to Liue With Him

Jonesboro, July 19.-Because she would not live with him, Harry Woods, a young planter of the eastern part of Craig head county, shot and killed his wife about 6 o'clock this morning, accoding to mes sage received here today. Af- ter the killing the young man escaped into the woods and had not been located at a late hour tonight.
 The first news of the killing came in a telephone message from Mangrum, a small town, near which the shooting oc- cured. Because of the iso- lated situation of the scene but few of the details could be learned.
 Domestic relations between Jones and his wife have been srained for some time, it is said and the trouble finally led to separation. Neighbors of the young planter said today that he killed his wife because she refused to live with him longer.

SECTION EAST OF NEWARK
 NEEDS AN OUTLET
Can Be Built Under Alexander Road Law and Would Help Develop Fertile Section

Lying east of Newark, be- tween this place and Black river, is an immense area of country that affords the finest field for development of any section of Independence coun- ty.
 The land is level and fertile 1t is already under fence, can be cheaply cleared and easily drained and when properly opened up for cultivation will produce splendid yields of all most any kind of crops that can be grown in this section.
 There is no more profitable field for development within the entire bounds of Indepen- dence county than this vast stretch of level and fertile land lying right at our very doors. The development of this section of country would be worth many thousand dol lars to Newark.
 One thing that would be a great boost to that section and that would be a strong induce ment for people to buy this land, move on it. clear it up and put it into cultivation, is a good road to afford an all-the- year-round outlet to and from market.
 The value of good roads has been so often discussed, and the lack of good roads so free ly cussed by the people who are forced to travel over bad roads, that it should not be necessary to discuss this fea- ture of the matter.

LIVED INCOUNTY
 FOR 7 YEARS
REMARKABLE RECORD OF
 UNCLE BUD FOSTER
Born in Few Miles of Where
 lie Now Resides and Has Lived in County all Ills Life.

Among the old settlers of Independence county who have reported since The Journal asked for reports some time ago, W c. Foster of Newark stands pretty good chance Iof being prize winner.
 Mir. Foster was born June |22, 1840. on the old Wycough farm in the Skillet neighbor- hood, near Sharp, in Indepen- dence county. Except for the four years spent in the Confed- crate Army he has spent his entire life in Independence county, making a little more than 75 years continuous resi- dence in the county.
 Mr. Foster enlisted in the Confederate army at BatesVille and was a member of Go. H, under command of Captain Ca son. Mr. Foster weighed only .97 pounds when he enlisted. The first march was to Poca- hontas where they joined other troops and were sent on the campaign east of the Mississip- pi river.
 He served the entire four years of the war and although he participated in a number of the bloodiest battles of that memorable conflict, Mr. Foster was not wounded single time and was not in the hospital during the entire fouryears. He was in the battles of Murfrees- boro, Chattanooga, Franklin, Lookout Mountain, Perryville, and a number of others of minor importance.
 He was mustered out of the service at Meridian, Miss, and returned immediately to his home in this county to again take up the duties of life. He married shortly after his re- turn from the war and he and his wife resided in the "Skillet" neighborhood until they re- moved to Newark about II years ago. His wife is 69 years of age and they have two sons, Clint and Lee.
 Although he is 75 years old and has been a laboring man his life, MT. Foster does not ap- pear to be more than 60 years old. He is spry and active, en- joys splendid health and bids fair to live beyond the century

built through this section of country at a very small ex- pense because of the small cost of getting road building ma terial on the ground. The rail- road traverses the entire dis tanee and doubtless the com pany would be glad to make a special rate on the trans portation of material.
 If the people of Newark are in favor of progress and de- velopment, they have splen- did field at their very doors and one that will pay hand some dividends upon the in- Vestment required to bring this section into a state of cul- tiVation, put it upon a produc- i've basis and make it inviting to people who are seeking good homes.
 A good road will pave the way, and will do more toward the development of thatsection than any other one thing.
