STATE WILL FIGHT
 TW0 rENT DIIIIMr
Gases Set For Trial at St. Paul Minn., Friday But State Wants Continuance.

Little Rock, May 26.-Ef- forts will be made by John P. Streepy, assistant attorney gen eral to postpone the hearing in the United States Court of Ap- peals on the temporary injunc- tions asked by several rail roads to prevent the Arkansas Railroad Commission from en- forcing the 2-cent passenger rates and the commission's S new freight tariff, when the cases are called in St. Paul, Minn., Friday.

ROBT. E. |. MAXEY
 IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Attorney Who Formerly Re- sided at Batesville Charged
 With Fraudulent Use of Mail

Attorney Robt. E. L. Maxey, formerly of Batesville, who has been in the limelight more or less for a number of years comes to the front again in Pittsburg, Pa, as is shown by the following Associated Press dispatch from that city.
 Miss Dorothy c. Harrington was arrested at the offices of the United States Steel Tie Company by Postal inspectors on charge of using the mails to defraud. R. E. l.. Maxey, president of the company, was arrested here and Thomas &. Downey, fourth vice president was arrested at Wilmington, Del, at the same time on a similar charge.
 Federal authorities declare that the company was a paper concern and the stock alleged to have been exchanged by Maxey for real estate was said to have had only a few dollars behind it. Downey, the feder- al authorities say, is one of the defedants in the Prudential Loan and Trust Company liti- gation at Oklahma City, Okla.
 "Maxey and Miss Harring- ton waived a hearing before the United States Commission CT and were held for court" "

GETS LIFE SENTENCE
 TUX MURDEK OF 4
Conway County Cattleman Wanted Death Sentence and IS Disappointed at Verdict

Morrilton, May 24.-Sam Bell, the slayer of four, ap- peared sorely disappointed Sat urday night when the jury af- ter an hour and a half delib- eration returned a verdict for frs degree murder and fixing Bells punishment at life inn pisonment in the State peniten- tiary. The case was given to the jury at II o'clock Satur- day night and the verdict was reached an hour and a half afterwards.
 It had been reported on good authority that Bell in- tended to interrupt the court proceedings by breaking out in open court and saying that he had never been insane; was not when he committed four murders and was not crazy at present. All this he told his friend Dr. J. H. Cole of Spring field, but he did not carry out his intention. At no time dur ing the trial did Bell consent to talk to his lawyers, who were appointed by the court to defend him and at allstages of the trial he was not moved the slightest by favorable orun- favorable testimony.
 His plea by his lawyers was insanity, and although he was not acquitted, his lawyers suc- ceeded in all they tried toacom- plish, to get a verdict of life imprisonment. Bell, himself, had hoped to get the death penalty, so he told his friends.

URGES FARMERS TO
 TICr IInAKr raAIAIrnn q UDE HUME UANlvEKO
Would Mean Saving of Thous- ands of Dollars Say Com missioer of Agriculture.

The general wa outlook in Europe indicates a gloomy prospect for the cotton market this fall. In fact the price of cotton for future delivery has been declining for the past thirty days.
 This impresses the impor- tance of the farmers in this state and the South preparing to meet the hard times that may continue through the next season., by taking advantage of every opportunity available to provide a living at home from thc products on The farr.. One of the best means of doing this is to provide your self with a small home-can- ming outfit, to can fruits and vegetables for table use dur ing the winter and early spring months.
 The modern canning outfits for farm use are made to meet the scientific requirements in a simple way, and they can be operated by any house. wife. There are several diff ferent kinds on the market, and .hcy are all good. The outfits are complete, and are accompanied with full instruc- tions for canning all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and be- sides the manufacturer will often send a man to show you how to operate them. The dealers will furnish the cans N-iti. solder on then and also attractive labels if you want them, so your canned goods will look as attractive and be as good as any sold in the stores. The canning outfits sell as low as S7.50 and up to $25 10 $50 and higher. With d S25 outfit you can put up from 300 to 800 cans a day with la bor of from two to four peo- pie.
 There is a good demand for canned sweet potatoes, pump kin, turnip and spinach. These roduct are all easily canned on the farm with small out fit. J. A. Sloate, farmer of Hatfield, Ark, has been op- erating a homecoming out fit several yeranda ahoirnfficin fit for several years and is sell ing his product by parcel post. He has made money.
 Just think how fine it would be if every farmer could at the beginning of the winter season have 1000 cans of as- soted canned goods. Such a result can be obtained by two or three day of labor and S25 for cans, with small homecoming outfit. Go buy one without delay. If you have Tt ,te money get your me-" chant or banker to advance it to you and pay him in canned goods before the summer is gone. You can do 1t. Try it cut. It is worth the effort. If you cannot dispose of your surplus stock of canned goods to your local merchants let me know and 1 will find you a market.
 Write me for bulletins on Canned fruits, Jellies and per- serves" and Canning Vege- tables in the Home"

DEGREES CHANGE IN PARTING
OF THE HAIR.
Calls for Considerable Skill in Ar
ransement-open Psyche Knot ls
GeneraI-Tresses Must Be
Neat In the Back.

A fashion that has been shelved is
the parting of the hair in front or at
the side, although there is a definite
line of carrying the hair from left to
right, or right to left. That is the diff
ference between the coiffure Of 1880
and today. Sleek as the hair is, 1t
goes across the head sideways, espe-
cially in the back, where it is drawn
up into French twist that has all
been pinned fiat and Strengthened out,
so that there will be no bulge in
the smooth line of the head.
There is no fashion against the out
lining Of this fiat French twist by a
long ornamental comb, but that is
only possible in the evening, and
many fashionable women prefer to
do without it.
There is great skill in the way the
hair is brushed across the head and
twisted into fiatness and 1t is this
style of coiffure which is the most
difficult for a woman to arrange her
self. 1t is better done when the hair
is slightly marcelled, to give it body.
This is not possible II a woman has
heavy long hair, which 80 many Amer
icans possess. II she waves it, she
also thickens it and is compelled to
work out something original with the
long ends.
AS she must dispose of these left
overs in some fashion, the law al
lows her to roll them into an open
