FOR THE PEOPLE TO KNOW

The State Publicity Law re- quiring the publication of com plete and accurate statements ot what goes with their money IS the finest and safest law that Arkansas has had for many a day.
 This law applies in Monroe County to the incorporated towns of Clarendon, Brinkley and Holly Grove and to the county itself, to the special taxing dis tricts, including the Piney Drainage District, The Cypress Drainage District, The Brinkley Sewerage District. and The Brinkley School District, all other like organizations.
 Practically all of the above published financial statements the 1st. of this year, except the Brinkley Sewerage District. the two Drainage Districts. The gentlemen at the head of these organizations have stated that they would comply with the publicity act and make state ments as required by the law beginning July lst.
 It is to be hoped that the statements will be plainly made so that the tax payers may understand easily.

Butterfly Family.

The butterfly is one of the higher of the myriad species of what are called moths, naturalists giving to the whole family the name of lepidoptera. The naturalist who simply studies the won- ders and mysteries of nature cares nothing for learned names for varied geni. He glories in the fact that while gentle snow flakes fell butter fly, orange yellow, fitted noiselessly within hearing of the complainings of lions. tigers, bears and hyenas, and the chattering of monkeys. all stolen from their native trees and jungles to afford entertainment for the children of men, futtered up and down and around as if seeking the flower which as yet bloomed not.

County Club Women tC Observe First Week
 in August

The Woman's Auxiliary Club of the Southern Commercial Con- gress will observe County Day one day the first week in August.
 Prizes of one dollar each will be awarded as follows: One to the girl making the best cake; one to the boy with the best ex- hibit of vegetables grown by himself; and one to the lady who can exhibit the best patchwork, result of her own skill. Anyone in the county is eligible to enter this contest. Mrs. George c. Lewis, State Vice-President, will be present on that date.
 Mrs. P. E. Thomas has just re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Louise G. Lindsley, of Nashville, Tenn, President of the w. A. s. c. C., highly complimentary to Mrs. Lewis.
 It is hoped that we will have a large attendance on that day. Those wanting any information please write to Mrs. P. E.. Thomas, Clarendon, Ark.
 The ARGUS man was in the Club Rooms and Library of the County Club at Clarendon few weeks ago and was pleased to hear from the ladies that they expected to ask the ladies of : Brinkley and the north end to join them in a picnic at Allen dale some time soon. A capitol idea indeed and one that is sure to bear good fruit.

Weakness In Timber.

A somewhat curious source of weak ness in timber, which explains break ages that hitherto have seemed mys- terious, has been brought to notice by experiments in the laboratory of the United States forest service. When a beam is dropped across skid or any narrow hard solid, the fibers may be considerably compressed, and if the beam is subsequently broken, failure comes at the point of compression. The shocks producing the serious i'm pairment may be received in strong gales by the growing tree, as well as in the numbering or manufacturing operations. Lines of compression ap- pear as little wrinkles or streaks crossing the grain and these are to be taken as a mark of weakness in the wood. To such fiber compression from rough usage is now attributed the puzzling breakage of materials supposed to be very strong, such as wagon wheel spokes of hickory.

It may be added that it Is advisable 10 use strictly fresh eggs at any stage of the game. The req son for this precaution can readily be understood by securing defunct egg and breaking the shell suddenly with an ax.

A man claiming to be ships doctor ex- plotted the merits of vegetable rem edy which he said he had discovered from this plant while practicing in Liberia, and he brought suit against the British Medical association for H. bel because of what was contained in pamphlet entitled Secret Remedies and What They Contain" The remedy In which he was interested was adver- tised as a sure cure for consumption.

TraInIno the Memory.

Training the memory. as the term has been understood, Is misleading It would be better to say that you train yourself in the handling of vari. ous kinds of material, using all your faculties in the process. To remem. Der, in the fullest sense of the term, you must assimilate. You must per. ceive the object, understand it and treat 1t nationally. Thus you get 1t fixed in your mind The process changes as the material to be handled changes. If the material to be worked up" is similar, the training gained in working up one kind will help in working up another. But in the slightest variation in the material there is corresponding variation in the process, and some new elements to be considered.

In the Flilan Islands.

In race the Fijians are people of Melanesian stock, much crossed with Polynesians. They are dark in color, have a harsh skin, crisp hair, which Is bleached with lime and worn in an elaborate mop, while their features are strongly marked. but not unpleas- ant. They are sensitive. proud. vim dictiye, boastful, savage, hospitable, and courteous. The Fijians are in- dustrious, especially those engaged in agriculture. The value of the ex- ports of sugar, pearl shells, beche-de- mer, copra, cocoanut oil. and cocoa nuts has been steadily increasing of late years. The total export trade Is now approximately $5.000.000 per an mum.

Old Watch on Aliens.

Medieval England kept a sharp watch over aliens, even those belong ing to nations with which 1t was at peace. According to the Saxon law of frank-pledge, which remained in force until 1870. no hosteler might entertain a foreigner for more than day and a night, unless he undertook to answer for his guests behavior. No foreign CTS were allowed to keep hostels in London, and many became naturalized in order to qualify for this privilege Even so. they were not suffered to compete on equal terms with the na lives, being required to keep their houses 'in the heart of the city" and being rigidly excluded from the more profitable regions on the bank of the Thames.

We all know how absurd Is that other rule, of saying the alphabet when you are angry. Trash! Sit down and write your letter; write 1t with all the ven om in your power; spit out your spleen at the fullest; twill do you good. You think you have been in- jured; say all that you can say with all your poisoned eloquence, and grat- fly yourself by reading 1t while your temper is still hot.
