are dead as a result of pistol duel be-
tween the two men. which is said to
have originated in a drinking bout and
craps game. According to reports OF
the tragedy, Smith and Rowland, with
a number of other men, were spending
the day in the cane brakes of Sun
flower river west of town in gambling
and drinking. During the course of
the game 1t is alleged that the two men
became involved in an argument over
the ownership of coin. Both were
armed, one with an automatic and the
other with pistol. Words led to the
men drawing the weapons and starting
the shooting. Rowland died in 30 min
utes after he was wounded, but Smith
lived several hours.
Both men were about 80 years old
and married. Smith is survived by a
wife and four children. Rowland leaves
a wife. two children and an aged
mother.

CARE OF THE TABLE LINEN
Its Life May Be Materially Length
ened II It Is AIwayo Handled
Properly.

Careful housewives who fear the ef-
fects of fruit stains on their best table
linen often lay 1t aside during the
fruit season and use in it's place table
squares with the square doilies or
the round table coverings with the
round doilies to match.
These are chosen of fine 1inen or
patterned damask, preferably with the
scalloped edges or the simple hem
stitched hens. Under them are used
the asbestos mats, which perfectly
protect the polished table top. Many
are using the Japanese sets, made
Of the cotton towelIng. These are
herringboned together to make the
square cover the desired size. some
even having the blue linen knotted to
form a fringe. They are pretty and
cool looking with the blue Dresden
china.
The use of the smaller table linens,
apparently, increases the size of the
laundry. but in reality it is less work
to do up number of the small pieces
than it is to wash and iron the large.
heavy tablecloths.
Almost all stains are removed quite
readily with plain boiling water, which
must be applied before any soap is
used. Soap always sets a stain. But
If the stain is stubborn and refuses
to come out for the hot water, then
salts of lemon may be applied, and
the article should be allowed to stand
in the sun while it dries.
Then rinse in cold water and apply
the salts second time If there are
any traces of the stain still on the
cloth. One may also use spirits of
wine, ammonia or javel water, which
latter must be rinsed out almost i'm
mediately for fear it may damage the
material.
For grease or gravy spots, plain yell
low soap rubbed well into them, then
the boiling water turned through, will
remove them at once. One must be
careful with the laundry list while
using the small tableware. for the
loss of few doilies spoils the set.

S4OO, 100000 FOR DEFENSE
President Wilson and Advisers Make
Up Annual Army and Navy Es-
timate.-Largest in History.

Washington.-Four hundred million
dollars for national defense-an in
crease approximately of $4,000, 900
over last year-constitutes the amount
President Wilson and his advisers now
estimate should be appropriated by
the next congress for the army and
navy.
The president has had before him
for several weeks the outlines of a
military policy of continuing char
acter framed by Secretary Garrison
after more than years study with
officers of the general staff. With
1t the president is in hearty accord,
balanced program. While details have
not been revealed. substantial In
crease in the regular army, probably
from $1,000 to at least 10000 men
and the creation Of reserve Of per-
haps 100000 men through short term
enlistment service of citizens inter
ested in military training, are said to
be parts of the army plan.
AS yet the appropriation to be rec
ommended for the army and navy re-
spectively has not been definitely fix
ed. Indications are that the army's
budget of s110,OOO,000 last year will
be increased by at least 100000, 900,
while Secretary Daniels is figuring on
obtaining a $100,000,000 increase over
the navy appropriation of $14S,00O,-
900 Of last year.
When the president and the secre-
taries of war and navy next confer it
is understood an effort will be made
to bring the total sum within the
$400,000,000 mark, as at present the
combined estimates of the two branch
es of the service will make about
$450,000,000 If the needs of the two
services can be cut to S400,000,000 the
total increase over last year would be
about S140,000,000. The general view
in administration quarters now is that
a bond issie will be proposed to meet
the added expense.
