One of the best known young men Little Rock, who has recently been nominated without opposition, for a third term as sheriff and collector of Pulaski county. He is a candidate for delegate-at-large to the National Democratic convention, and will no doubt receive a larger vote in his home county than the tremendous ma jorities of his political races.
 Mr. Hutton was urged to enter the race for delegate-at-larg by proml- nent men in all sections of the state because of his great activity in the last campaign of President Woodrow Wilson. MT. Hutton was a delegate at-large at the Baltimore convention, where President Woodrow Wilson was chosen as the partys standard bearer, and later directed the campaign for him in Arkansas. He has served as secretary of the State Democratic Central Committee, and has for a number of years been prominent factor in state politics. MT Hutton has always been strong admirer of President Wilson, and if elected can be always counted on to cast his bal lot in favor of the party standing be- hind its great leader
 MT Hutton was educated in the Little Rock public schools, and later became prominent in athletics through his connection with Southern League clubs. He was connected for several years with the Little Rock team, and later managed the Birmingham team. He has achieved greater success m business, however, than he did as an athlete.

 It may be surprising to some peo- pie to know that there is one large neighborhood just ten miles from Lit tie Rock that has never had but one three-months' public school. Of course, there is not home on every 40 acres, but there are several good homes, some of which have been there for thirty years, at least.

Archaeology Schools / of Greece to Give
 Training to Women

Athens, Sept. 6.-The American and British schools of Archaeology in Greece are making preparations for the accommodation of women stu dents of the respective schools. Two new buildings ara to be built, one by each schaal for the housing of women students. The building for the male students of the American school has only just been completed. There is nothing like it for comfort, cleanliness and modern conveniences in all Greece. Though at present there are almost no students of either school. it is hoped that when the war ends both the Am 'erican and British schools will again be fourishing!
 The present buildings of the schools are situated in a very beautiful wooded park where shade Ca rarity in Athens) is plentiful and excellent tennis courts at hand.

DIRTY MONEY

There is a good deal of complaint about the condition of paper money. It is remarked that the bills are unus- ually dirty and possible menace to health. Certainly there are some of us who feel that fresh clean notes are less common than they used to be. though just as much currency may have passed through out hands.
 To cleanly people, a soiled bank note. bearing the accretions of a thou sand hands, has it's unpleasant sugges- tions, notwithstanding it's perfectly good purchasing power. One feels doubly rich with little roll of new notes. even if they are of the smallest denomination.
 People who like clean money have one recourse always open. That is to cultivate the use of gold. To this the objection is felt that the shiny coins are easily lost. Also they are occa- sionally mistaken for bright new Lin- coin cents, or in the dark for nickels.
 Yet the people of Europe use gold very freely and like it. They learn from youth to carry it in separate pur- ses, and probably do not lose as much of it as our careless people. The yell low coins have a most musical jingle. One feels like a lord with a small num- Der of them in his pocket.
 But the use of paper notes has be- come an ingrained habit of our people. That being so, the government should keep them clean. It seems rather ab- surd to spend millions in health de- partment work, while permitting dirty and germ carrying bills to circulate freely as they do. Banks and stores that make a practice of giving out as much clean money as possible make themselves popular among people who dislike dirt

NOT LETTING HER
 KNOW HIS INTENTIONS

M B. L. asks; What do you think of a man who goes with a girl more or less regularly for years and don't let her know his intentions? If not with her, he passes his time at another's home Has he just principles? As he has no stated intentions, ought that girl to give him up or else speak to him herself as to his intentions? A friend of mine is in such a boat. It's foolish for her to let company remain coming as he does. Kindly write good, strong answer to show"
 Few men visit girl regularly for years, not stating intentions, unless they are not suited to make bride.

 surf. She works steadily,
 hands That glitter with precious stones, The thirds needles and tongue Clack necessarily. If she were to help With that hook nose of hers The ruby shawl would be finished ! sooner, The high-heeled shoes of all three Tap the floor, And they talk busily of nothing. It is evident that they have just fin-

LAURA JEAN LIBBY'S DAILY TALKS ON HEART TOPICS

If they cannot afford to wed. SIX months is a long time to take up girls time when some other sultor might win her love and ask her 10
 marry. Men must have possibly a year for courtship to find out if dis
 positions, economies and relatives are
 pleasing. Both then find out If they
 are better off wed. Long before year rolls round, they ought to be honor
 able and state intentions, or give the
 room they are taking up to some one
 else less slow and uncertain.
