H|LzHfIM TELLS
Of ARKANSAS ON
wheels Journey
Jefferson County's Repre-
sentative Believes Eyes of
People Opened.

| Capt. S. F. Hilzheim, who made the
trip with the Arkansas on Wheels
train, from which thousands of copies
of The Graphic's edition telling of
agricultural and industrial conditions
were distributed, prepared the follow
ing for The Graphic:
"The Arkansas on wheels trip seems
more like dream than reality-the
scenes shifting with kaleidoscope ra-
pidity; out of sunshine into the rain;
from Southern breezes to Northern
wintry winds; the merry laughter of
children; the hearty praise of adults
as the wonders of wonderful state
were laid before them. Through Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and
South Carolina and Virginia. How
small the world! How like one family
we of the Southland are. And yet,
when we entered the North-through
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and ILL
nois-the same hearty hand grasp; the
same praise; the same wonder at what
Arkansas was unfolding before their
wondering eyes and grasping minds.
Arkansas on Wheels was revela-
ton. The state that so long has been
misunderstood, slandered and malign-
ed took to the doors of wondering
people its products Of every nature:
It's minerals, its healing waters, it's cot
ton, it's corn, it's rice; in fact, every
thing that "grows under the sun" was
shown them, was explained and by a
party composed of business men,
farmers, ministers and professional
men-a bevy of men of the keenest
intellect, earnest in their endeavors to
enlighten. Men of rare patience, en-
thusiastic in their zeal to convince,
without exaggeration but honest and
truthful stories of the glories of our
state. And the ladies Of the party!
How Jealous and eager to help, and
how wonderful they were at all times;
the courtesies showered upon them
wherever entertained, and how proud
we were of them. Their native mod
esty, their beauty and their intelli-
gence was an honor and to the glory
of the state.
"Will the Arkansas on Wheels of
1916 benefit the state? Our own peo-
pie should have seen it. How many of
us really know what a wonderful state
we have? Fifty odd counties We'd with
one another to exploit and lay bare the
products of their respective localities
before multitude of people; people of
classes, from the 'magnate to the
The farmer, the artis-
an and the man of business passed
thru the train, and nothing but praise
and wonder at what was shown them.
In every city that the train was open
for exhibition the school children and
their teachers passed thru with PEN.

Cosmetics Not Needed;
Peel the Skin Instead

One reason mercolized wax is 50
strongly recommended is that it real
ly takes the place of several different
cosmetics, saving time, patience and
expense. It is better than any cleans
ing cream, better han any message
cream, and better than any rouge, for
accomplishing the results for which
such articles are used. AS the wax
actually absorbs an old, faded or dis
colored cuticle, a little each day, the
underlying skin which gradually ap-
pears, is clearer, softer, healthier-hued
and more youthful than any cosmetic
made complexion. Spreading on thin
coat of this wax at night, washing
it off mornings, in a week or so pro-
duces a marvellous transformation
Just one ounce of mercolized wax, OBJ
tainable at any drug store, will do the
work. There's nothing better to re-
move freckles, moth patches, liver
spots, salowness, blotches, pimples or
blackheads.
For. wrinkles and loose, saggy skin,
a face bath made by dissolving one
ounce of powdered savolite in half
pint of witch hazel, is the best thing
that can be recommended. This has
astringent and tonic prop
erties.-Advt.

Gil and tablet-they made their notes
that they should go back and prepare
for an Arkansas day in school. The
many commercial bodies that enter
tanned the travellers gave proof to the
benefits that will arise mutually to
the section.
Recent events in this country bear
proof that sectionalism is thing of
the past The entertainment given
the Arkansas on Wheels was as hearty
in Pittsburg, Pa, as it was in Char
lotte, N. c., or Memphis, Tenn. In
fact, we were greeted as brothers and
sisters. They pinned our cotton hollis
upon their breast; they were eager
for our literature; they implored time
and time again for information-vi
ions of new homes, new hopes and for
tue filled their minds. Arkansas, the
despised, was glorified, and it's won
ders made patent to an eager people.
Will the Arkansas on Wheels do good?
Will it. Well, 1 reckon.
That it was my privilege to repre-
sent Jefferson county was an honor
that fully appreciate, and will al
ways hold in grateful REMEMBRANCE.
To the gentlemen who made it possible
that this great county was repre-
sented, the thanks of our people are
due. To the ladies and gentlemen
of the party l want to express thanks
for the uniform courtesy extended.
The friendships made will be lasting.

Of a catalogue Of expensive marble
garden furniture. "Just a simple de-
sign Of the classic period will do. Co.
lonial furniture was based on the

We found at last the picture Of a
marble bench which could be dupli-
Gated in general outline with wooden
planking, so I telephoned to the lum-
Der dealer in the next town for two "a
inch-wide chestnut planks, and was
fairly staggered by the bill when it
came. It appears that Pinch wide
plank nowadays has to come from
North Carolina, or some other distant
point, and is rarer than charity, at
least that is what they told me.

MARBLE" said Stella. "And it looks
to me as if you could make the bench
out Of one plank"
1--WE want another bench on the sun

"You do now" said she.
"But If I hadn't got two planks,' -
said I, land had spoiled the first one,
then we'd have had to wait two or
three days again."
ooh, that was the reasonw she
smiled.
I sawed one Of the planks into one
sfx-foot and two two-foot lengths. and
rounded the edges Of the long piece for
the top. Then, On the two short
lengths we carefully drew from the
picture the outline Of the supports on
the marble original, and went to work
with rip saw, Ratchet and drawknife
to carve them out. The seasoned
chestnut worked hard, and we were
half day about our task. The next
day we put the three pieces together
with braces and long screws, plared
and sandpapered the wood till we had
it smooth, and then painted it with
white enamel paint. While the first
coat was drying, we made a deer,

afternoon, when the second coat. which
Stella had applied before breakfast.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Nice Other Things.


A pool Of water twenty feet hong
shining in the sun, or glimmering deep
~ in the twilight, that and nothing
else save a few struggling ANNALS
wrongly placed about it-yet it made
Twin Fires over, 1t caused US weeks Of
toll, it got into our dreams, it got into
our pockets, too.
"Now I know why sunken gardens
are so called,' said Stella, as she fig
ured out the cost Of the fall bulb plant
ing we had already planned. "It's
because you sink so much money in
'emr'
OF course there was little that we
could do to the margin Of the pool that
summer, but there was plenty to do
beyond the margin. The first thing Of
all was to place the flower beds diff
ferently. This took considerable ex-
perimenting, and Stella, being ingen-
ious, hit upon a scheme for testing va
rious possible arrangements. She filed
all sorts of receptacles, from tumblers
to pitchers, with cut flowers, low and
high, and stood them in masses here
and there, till the spot was found
where they looked the best. AS the
pool centered on the line between the
front door Of the house and the yet
to-be-built garden bench against the
stone wall, and as the orchard came
down to within forty feet Of the brook
on the slope from the house, it was
something Of a problem to lead natu-
rally from a grassy orchard slope into
a water feature and a bit of almost
formal gardening, without making the
transition stiff and abrupt. We finally
solved it with the aid Of lawn mower,
flower beds and imagination.
Going over the grass between the
last apple trees and the brook again
and again with the mower, I finally
| reduced that section to something like
a lawn, and also kept moved a straight
path from the pool up to the front
door. Then, beginning just beyond the
last shadows, we cut a bed, thirty
inches wide, on each side Of the line
of the path, running parallel with it
to within ten feet Of the pool; then
they swung to left and right, following
the curve of the bank until thew
f1anked the pool. By planting low flow
ers at the beginning, and gradually in
creasing their height till we had lark
spur and hollyhocks and mallow in
the f1anking beds, we could both make
the transition from orchard to water
feature, and also screen off the pool,
increasing Its intimacy, without, how
ever, hiding 1t from the front door,
where it was glimpsed down a path
Of trees and flowers. OF course we
had no flowers now In mid-July to put
into those beds, save what few we
could dig UP from elsewhere, setting
poor little annual phloxes two feet
apart; but we could, and did, use them
for seedbeds for next years perennials
and to the eye Of faith they were
beautiful.
Now we were confronted by the
problem Of the other side Of the pool
which included the problem Of how to
get to the other side! Stella suggested
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1916-09-27

tentatively a tiny Japanese moon
bridge above the pool, but I would
have none Of it.
''The only way to build a Japanese
garden in New England is to utilize
New England features" I insisted.
'We won't copy anybody"
Gail right she answered, "then we
want stepping stones above the pool,
and some mere down below the dam.
where we can see the WATERFALL
"More suita ble-and much easier" I
agreed.
Once more we robbed the stone wall,
building our two thanking paths Of
stepping-stones to the other side of the
brook.
On the other side we decided to elm
mate all flower beds in the open, mere
ly planting iris and forget-me-not on
the rim Of the pool. We would clear
out a wide senicircle of lawn, with
the bench at the center Of the circum-
ference, and plant our remaining flow
ers against the shrubbery on the sides,
which was chiefly the wild red os1er
dogwood (cornus stolonifera). I got a
brush scythe, Ratchet, spade. a
grub hoe and a rake, and we went to
work.
Work Is certainly the word. It was
not difficult to clear the brush and the
tall, rank weeds and grasses away
from our semicircle, which was hard
~ more than thirty feet in diameter
but to spade up the black soil there
after, to eliminate the long, tenacious
roots of the witch grass and the weeds
to clear out the stubborn stumps Of in
Vulnerable little trees and wild shrubs
which had overrun the place, to spread
evenly the big pile Of soil we had ex
cavated from the pool, to reduce it al
to a clean, level condition for sowing
grass, was more than I had bargaine(
for. Stella gave up helping, for it wa:
beyond her strength; but I kept on
through the long, hot July afternoons
and at last had 1t ready. The TIM
of year was anything but propitiou
for sowing grass seed, but we planted
it, none the less, trusting that in sucl
a low, moist spot it might make
catch Then we turned to the bench
Gracious, you have to be every
thing to be a gardener, don't you?
Stella laughed, as we tried to draw
