LIQUOR SALESMAN .
 z GETS SMALL FINE Yt@ #
Nm Arrested ia Sunday Raid As- stsSsd SIS and Costs by CduIt.

In view of the fact that there was some little doubt as to whether or not Benjamin Sachus, of No. Pleasant street, had actually sold liquor illegally and whether or not the beer which the police got in tnelr raid early Sunday morning belonged to him, Liquor Prosecutor filling to- day recommended that the accused be sfined s15 and costs, a light me for a violation of the liquor law. Attorney P F. MeDonough appeared for the accused and agreed to the
 proposal. Judge Meskill therefore imposed the above fine.
 Oficers Hellberg, Dart and Mercure raided the house at No. 2 Pleasant street early Sunday morning and found a large quantity of liquor and from the statement of a man they had previously searched they ar rested Saclaus for a violation of the Jaw. He was arraigned in court Mon day and the case was continued until this morning.
 Dr. Brown Judged Insane.
 Having been adjudged insane by Dr. Kelly and Dr. Bray, Dr. Richard Brown was committed to the insane retreat at Middletown today by Judge Meskill. About week ago Dr. Brown was arrested in a deplorable condition for drunkenness and at the | time was sentenced to jail, but the execution of sentence was suspended pending q medical examination of the accused. This morning the court reopened the case and found the doc- tor not guilty of the charge, then remanded him to the retreat for six
 months.

The unusual and distinguished style of this costume has been achieved by the employment of familiar mate r1als. White voile, very fine in qual- lty, filet lace, with an open mesh, soutache braid, and pearl buttons are all staple goods well known and well loved.
 The pretty fashion of posing one transparent fabric over another shows to excellent advantage in the skvt. The underskirt of voile is full and round. Above the two-inch hem there are seven narrow tueks an inch and a half apart, Just above the knees a band of braiding, in an ornamental scroll pattern, is applied all around the underskirt, finishing it's decora- tion.
 The overdress of filet lace does not extend to the bottom of the under skirt, but is shorter by about nine inches. It is gathered in at the waist line with the voile, leaving a panel of the underskirt uncovered at the front, for the lace does not extend across the entire front of the gown. It is caught up and fastened to the underskirt just below the knees at each side, forming a slight drape

LOCATE PERFECT
 WHITE OAK LOG
PLANS ARE BEING DEVISED TO SEND TO PANAMA-PAClFlC
 EXPOSITION.
MEASURES 30 FEET LONG
Cost of Cutting, Hauling, Freight and Terminal Charges and Finishing
 Estimated at $40o.
Little Rock

Little Rock A wonderful white oak log has been located by T. C.. Nowlin of the Philadelphia Mill and Lumber Com pany near Philadelphia, but several miles from the railroad, which is so splendid a specimen of what Arkan- sas can show in the way of fine lum- Der that it is proposed to send it to the Panama-Pacific Exposition. al though the cost of freight alone will exceed the lumber value of the log.
 The log is 30 feet in length, six feet in diameter at the stump end and five feet at the top. It is such a log as perhaps has never been found in the state. It is as straight as a poplar and without blemish and will compare with the best white oak lum- Der found anywhere.
 If exhibited at the fair it is sug- gested that section six feet by five be leveled and the flat surface finish ed so as to show the finished product right in the log. The cost of cutting, hauling, freight and terminal charges, and the finishing of a section is esti- mated at about S400.
 F. B. T. Hollenberg, commissioner general of the Arkansas Exposition Commission; c. A. A. Deane, land commissioner of the Iron Mountain; T. c. Nowlin and others are enthusias- tic concerning the advertising value of such an exhibit of Arkansas lum- Der, especially when it is known that California, having no oak timber has to send to Arkansas, Louisiana and other lumber states for oak for hard wood floors and interior finishing.

of the materials is reversed, and voile appears over filet net. It hangs straight and boXlike from the shoulders to at least six inches below the normal waist line. Small tucks play very im- portant part in it's construction, ap- bearing over the shoulders and part way across the front. They supply the required scant fullness in the ma terial that is caught in by the garni- ture of braiding at the bottom. The braiding is in silk soutache like that in the skirt, with the pattern wid ened at the front. The long plain sleeves are finished with small tucks in a group of seven on the forearm and a second group of five on the up- per arm. A narrow pattern in the braiding outlines the arm s-eye.
 There is a tall standing turnover collar of voile and a tie of narrow black velvet is brought twice around the throat. It supports the collar close under the chin and terminates in two long ends at the front.
 The flower-trimmed leghorn hat with sash ends of wide black velvet ribbon, and the low shoes of black and white kid, are details not to be lost sight of in completing a toilette of exceptional beauty.

For many generations the Panama hat was woven in one shape, and 1t took much urging and good manage ment on the part of those who bought and imported the genuine South Amer ican Panama hat to persuade the na- tive makers to produce other shapes. But finally this was accomplished and now one may buy Panama in almost any shape. Not all the hats known by this name are South American prod ucts, (there are Panamas and Pana- mas), but whether made in Japan or Connecticut, or brought from it's na- tive home, the Panama Is beautiful product.
 It is and is likely to continue to be the ideal hat for midsummer outing wear, for sports and for travelling It is soft enough to be comfortable, and uncrushable and firm enough to need no support. It is made with the inten- crown, and for shading the eyes, as to the brim. But In the past few seasons it has been possible to get Panamas with very wide brims, and these have added one more to the number of wide-brimmed straws used for the picturesque flower-laden millinery of midsummer.
 But the hat that is dearest to the heart of lovers of the Panama is that which keeps as close as possible to the original, mannish shape or va
Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-06-02

riation that does not seem to change it's character. Three popular shapes selected from this seasons showing of Panamas are illustrated here. They are to be recommended as practical and becoming and correct in type.
 These hats are usually very simply trimmed with bands of silk, ribbon or linen. Flat rosettes or hanging scarf ends are favorite decorations, and not to be improved upon. The wide brimmed shapes are sometimes swathed with malines and finished with huge bows of this fabric. Occa- sionally flowers or feathers adorn them. But narrow-brimmed Panamas are trimmed in the simplest manner possible.
 The fine South American Panama if we'll cared for, will stand many seasons wear. These hats can be cleaned and reblocked If one wishes to change the shape. But it is better to swathe the hat in wide silk or chif fon scarf than to reblock it, and to wear it in it's original shape. A hal so fine, so shapely and sensible will always look we'll.
 It seems a pity to wear out hat whose making involves such pains taking and wonderful work, by using hat pin. In fine hat it is better to sew hat fasteners in the band an6 secure it to the head in this way.

Representative of local laundries and telephone companies appeared be- fore the Minimum Wage Commission. The laundry representatives reported they are complying with the nine-hour feature of the new minimum wage law and with the wage provision as rapidly as possible. Telephone repre- sentatives said the law was being complied with the exception of some of the smaller towns, where it is nec- essary to keep night operators on duty more than nine hours. It is probable some compromise will be arranged in these cases, but an investigation will be made by the commission.

Chancellor I E Martinean issnnn

Chancellor J. E. Martineau issued an injunction enjolning state officers from apportioning S50,O00 from tn. common school fund of Arkansas in high schools. The injunction was is sued after hearing petition filed by State Senator w. O. Edmondson of Mountain View to restrain State Au- ditor M. F. Dickinson from issuing warrants for the apportionment and State Treasurer R. c. McDaniels from honoring them if presented.
 Although this was the first hearing, the injunction was made permanent. This was done to allow the case to go to the Supreme Court at once It had been previously agreed that no action would be taken toward paving the money from the treasury until the court had acted upon the petition.
 The injunction was granted on the ground that the distribution of money to aid the high schools of the state to be legal should be specifically ap- popriated by each legislature The act was passed by the 1911 legislature and each year since. the apportion- ment has been made by the State Board of Education without additional authority.
 The contention that the legislature had no right to appropriate this money for aiding high schools or to create State High School Board was overruled by Chancellor Marti- neau. He said the high schools are merely parts of the common school system and that it is in the power of the legislature to provide for them out of the common school fund. but that the appropriations must be made specifically at each session.
 The decision brings up the question of the legality of the annual distribu- tion of the common school fund with out a specific appropriation every two years. Senator Edmondson mas been charged with attacking the com mon school system on this ground.
