wheeled away. Enid searched for the
nurse who had spoken with her. but she,
too, had disappeared.
Out in the corridor Enid was stopped
by one of the surgeons

May I see him.
The surgeon opened wide his eyes then
closed them over the sudden enIighten-

When Enid stood beside the young Off

wall. she did not speak until the door had
closed upon the surgeon.

to me?" she asked softly, and Baker
turned swiftly toward the voice.

and did not offer his unbandased hand
but his eyes devoured the beauty of her
face and told Enid that a new man had
arisen from the experience of the past
The gentle f1attery was still there. and
Enid suddenly knew that II would always
be there for her. She put her hand softly
over his.

the weather is warmer.
In making swiss curtains it is a good
plan to wash. thus shrinking the swiss

practicable to wash the material frs,
shrinkage should be allowed for. Turn
under a piece four or five inches wide at
the top OF the curtain and after the swiss
has shrunk let the curtain down to the
desired length.

stays in fashion in spite of it's popu-
larity. There was a very full circu-
lar skirt that fairly rippled about the
ankles-or at least above the ankles.
There was jacket that reached to
the hips and fared decidedly below
the waist. 1t was Grawn in at the
normal waistline with a wide belt of
brown suede, and there was a stand
ing collar of the suede. and the jacket
was worn buttoned from throat to
belt Above the suede collar was a
fiaring line of organdie.
With the suit described was worn a
brown suede sailor hat. And this hat
calls attention to the extremely smart
fashion of sailor that one sees this year
There are sailors Of kid and suede and
leather, there are sailors of satin and
taffeta. there are straw sailors. and there
will be sailors of pongee. linen and
pique.
At the Florida and other Southern re-
sorts these wash ia brio sailors have been
widely worn. In Florida cycling has be-
come a fad. and II little sailor hat of
checked taffeta. shepherds check ging-
hams or linen is the proper cycling head
gear. 1t is suggested that not only the
sailor. but perhaps also bicycle riding
for women may be a revived fad of the
summer.
Another forecast from Florida is that
the black bathing suit will be the most
fashionable one of the summer. 1t will
be made of taffeta or satin. and it will
always be worn with bright cap or stock

PLAN TRADE TRIP
 SOUTH ON RIVER
Chamber of Commerce Ar ranging for Excursion on
 Steamer Lightwood.

Announcement of proposed trade trip" down the river, by local business men. under tho auspices ol the Cham Der of Commerce. was made yester- day morning in the daily bulletin is- sued by the Chamber of Commerce, Secretary E. B. Bloom thus telling of the proposition:
 "The Chamber of Commerce is ar ranging for trip that will probably be one of the most profitable ana enjoyable ones that our business men have ever taken, which will necessar- ily be confined to wholesalers and jobbers, from the fact that the ac- communications are limited.
 "The trip will be made by the steamer Lightwood from Pine Bluff tc the mouth of the river, and will pro- vide for "stop-offs'' at important land- ings where conveyances will be pro- yided to visit tho stores within rad ius of six or seven miles from each landing.
 "Pine Bluff receives great deal ol business from river points, and 1t IS doubtful whether business trip O this kind has ever been attempted be fore. As soon as the weather get' settled and the river recedes some the arrangements will be completed and due notice given those interested.

show what the contents are and for what purpose they are to be used. The bill also prohibits newspapers in Arkansas from advertising liquors. Objection was made to the second reading of the bill but the prohibi- tionists were in the majority and de- feated motion to this effect. and made the bill a special order for Sat urday morning.
 Senator Smith introduced a memor- ial to congress for the appointment of a committee of three to arrange for the return to Southern planters of the S6O 100000 idle in the United States treasury which was illegally collected tas a war tax on cotton, which was adopted.
 The appropriations for the Jones' boro and Russellville schools were adopted by the committee without change on Thursday, and the efforts of Senator Smith of Columbia to raise the Magnolia school appropriation to par with the others, brought on the long struggle which went over until Friday to take up the most of the day. l Twelve items were considered by the committee of the whole in the fore noon session Friday, ten of them re- maining as recommended in the bill, 1 one being eliminated, $500 for COW i barn. and ono being raised $500, to provide additional fire equipment for the school. fi
 Efforts were made to reduce every item, which changed the tactics of Senator Smith, he being forced to fight to retain what was recommend ed in the bill, instead Of increase, as he had done on Thursday. The fight to reduce was on farm machinery, for incidental expenses, fertilizers, horse barn, poultry and equipment, | extension work and for improvement to the orchard.
 The battle axe brigade was aug mented Friday by the addition of new recruits, Senators Toler and Ashley. They joined with Senators Lundy, Edmondson and Kendall, while Sena- tors Vann and Cabaniss bore the brunt of the battle for the advocates of a liberal appropriation.
 Senator Smith advised President Lundy that the professors engaged ill extension work did not go to the
 
 the rural schools and the rural school institutes, which brought a retort from President Lundy that was worse still.
 After the item had been adopted Senator Smith asked for an additional item of $1,000 for improvement in the orchard, instruction in canning fruits and in planting new orchard.
 "Who ever. heard of farm house that did not know how to can fruit?' T demanded President Lundy, Why, you would insult the farmers and their wives if you inslnuated they did not know how to put up preserves and Il jelly!"
 | The senate adjourned for noon re- cess with the merry war going on, and gaining momentum with every item.

 I had scarcely no pain or suffering at childbirth, and 1 feel 1 owe it all to Cardui. I know that no woman would make a mistake in using Car dui at that most critical time. Ii will save them so much suffering.
 It is my sincere desire that this statement may be seen and read by all sufferers who suffer as I did. am telling all my friends and dCQudluldlCGS u lue great cue have received"

COTTON FARMERS
 GIVEN WARNING Federal Department Finds "Half and Aalfo Cotton
 Inferior.

Washington March 5.-During the last two years the attention of the department of agriculture has been directed to the fact that active cam paigns have resulted in the intro duction into portions of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas of a variety of cotton called "Half-and-Half." It is reported that the seed has been sold for as much as $5 per bushel under the representation that it is an eX- ceedingly prolific variety, yielding 50 per cent of lint, or a 5o0-lb bale from one thousand pounds of seed cotton. l Many inquiries have been received 1 from planters throughout this section asking for advice concerning this cot ton
 The departments representatives have examined many samples of "Half-and-Half" cotton from these states and have grown it in experl- mental plantings. and have found it far inferior to cotton ordinarily pro duced in this section.
 Spinners Reject.
 Competent spinners have stated that this variety as ordinarily grown pro 6uces so short fiber as to render 1t
 wholly unsuitable for the class ol work which now consumes the great ibulk of the cotton of the western belt
 Before this agitation became genef-
 al. a high grade sample of this cotton
 was submitted by the department 10 1.-two prominent members of the New Orleans Cotton exchange, who, on the first attempt to pull the staple, statee that the fiber was so short that Il . -FW6uld be reflected as "perished staple z .bY their classification committee ant Il you'd not be tendorable on New Or- l leans cotton contracts. Two member: |. of the New York Cotton exchange, tt lwhom samples were submitted, madt
 practically tho same remarks.
 In view of these facts the depart ments warns the farmers of Okla
 homa. Texas and Arkansas that th'
 introduction Of "Half-and-Half, o Il any other variety of cotton producing |, fiber of less than seven-eights of al | inch in average length, will be likel. !, to seriously damage the reputation O u their local markets, and may resul !, in a few pears in basing the price Il such markets on this inferior cotton l.

 growers in the communities wher
 the poorer types become common.
 As tho seed is the primary facto . in determining length of staple ant o there are early maturing prolific va 7. rieties with staple of at least an incl s in length, every cotton farmer shoul' . procure and plant such seed.
