SHERIFF TO SELL
 SCHOOL LANDS

Two hundred acres of sixteenth sec tion school land, in five 4O-acre tracts, situated in township 8, range II, in the northeastern portion of the coun- ty, about three miles east of Enders, will be offered for sale on Monday, July 3, by Sheriff w. w. Bishop.
 As is we'll known, the sixteenth sec tion of each congression township was early in the history of the state set apart for the use and benefit of the common schools. Under the law, before the land can be sold, a major ity of the adult male inhabitants of the township must so petition and the land must be appraised. At least one prospective purchaser must deposit a sufficient sum of money to cover the cost of advertising. The county col lector, on the day advertised, offers in 4O-acre tracts all the unsold land in the section. The land must bring at least $l.25 per acre and not less than threefourths it's appraised value.
 Should there be no offers for any of the tracts, they remain the prop erty of the state, but at any future time, under the same petition and ap- praisement, purchaser may make a deposit for advertising and all un- sold lands are again offered. The proceeds of the sale go into the state treasury to the credit of the common school fund and are apportioned to the various districts according to school population, along with the other state school funds.
 The majority of the desirable school lands in this county, like those of the United States government have long since been taken up, but occasionally there is an application for the purchase of some of the re- maining tracts.

CONVENTION MAY
 DFNOUNCf HAYS BITTER FIGHT EXPECTED Ex-Governor Futrall, Head of Plat form Committee, Opposed to En.
 dOrsing Administration.

Little Rock, May 3O.-Politicians from all sections of the state are in Little Rock today to attend the Dem- Ocratic state convention which opens Wednesday. The state central com- mittee met this morning to arrange the preliminaries and to pass upon contests from Hampstead, Perry and Poinsett counties.
 As far as can be learned, no op- position will develop to the organiza- tion of officers selected several days ago by the friends of Dr. c. H. Brough, the gubernatorial nominee It is expected that some opposition will develop when the usual resolu- tions indorsing the outgoing state ad- ministration are presented. Former Acting Governor J. M. Futrall of Paragould stated today that he would bitterly oppose any effort to indorse Governor Hays administration and is thinking very seriously of presenting a resolution condemning Governor Hays.
 The question will undoubtedly pro- yoke bitter fight on the floor of the convention if it is injected into the proceedings. A. A. Dulaney of Little River county, who has been a leader of one faction or another in every convention held during the past eight years stated today that he would favor resolution indorsing the gov- ernor's administration; that he did not see why any Democrat would stir up a row over the matter, es- pecially as Governor Hays is on the eve of retiring from office to private life.
 J. V. Walker of Fayetteville, who wille be temporary chairman of the convention, will make the keynote speech of the coming campaign against the Republicans. He is one of Dr. Brough's closest personal and political friends and is in a position to stand sponsor for the governor elects views on all questions affect ing the general public.

INVITATIONS TOO LATE.

Five hundred engraved invitations to the commencement exercises of the State Normal School, ordered from . New York concern over two months ago, were received by the senior class only yesterday, after the commence ment sermon had already been de- livered. The class declined to accept the work, delivery of which had been promised some three weeks earlier.

Little Rock, May 29.-Commission- CT of Highway w. B. Owen has is- sued 10,713 automobile tags during the year 1916. This includes Fords. Multiply this number by what you think the average cost of automobiles is and you will arrive at some idea of the enormous sum thus invested in Arkansas.

A SANDWICH OF
 WORK AND PLAY

SHAKESPEARE said that if all the
 year were playing holidays to sport would be as tedious as to work. but fortunately for most of us. at least one- third of each tWenty-four hours is spent in good solid work. We bl1si- ness women have our life preservers- our everyday tasks" Yet we do not want to go to extremes in work We need pleasures. too, just as much as we need work, and while we get a great deal of pleasure from work well done we do need a social life, because we. are gregarious creatures. We do not always like to be alone with our thoughts; we like companions. amuse- ments.
 So let us consider some of the things which may help or hinder the business woman in her endeavors to make the most of her hours of recreation. Our companions and our pleasures have a decided influence over our success in life as well as our character. We must have high ideals of life and form com panionships only with those who have high ideals. When we associate with those of low aims and thoughts we gradually. but surely, give up our vision to conform to the ideas of the friend. for people cannot come into our lives without leaving the mark of their influence on our character. If with out vision the people pertsh'' is true of the nations, it is undoubtedly true of the individual

SNOBBERY

SNOBBERY is the counterfeit coin in the bank of society.
 Snobbery is the veil that tries to cover multitude of sins-"veil," be- cause it can be seen through and ''tries' because it usually fails.
 Snobbery is the fire that does noth- ing but smokei it's all waste. no fuel.
 Snobbery is the hole in the dough- nut; all that is good is outside of it.
 Snobbery is disease; it renders im- pure an originally pure product by inn planting in it the germ called "a swell ed head"
 snobbery is expensive; it is excess baggage.
 Snobbery is what chloroform is to the surgeon; it paralyzes the patient, but is exceedingly treacherous.
 Snobbery is the weapon of a man who is too large in the belt band and too small in the hat band.
 Snobbery is like the croup; it catch es the owner in an unsuspected mo- ment and chokes off his wind.

VARIETY OF FABRICS
 IN NEW STYLES

TVHIS season is remarkable so far for
 it's perverse employment of fab rics. For instance, there is 8 hat whose frame is entirely covered with striped silk jersey cloth. The co1ors are white and grass green in inch wide bands. The brim is faced with straw the color of the green stripe.
 Then there is the use of oilcIoth, not only for millinery purposes, but for sports clothes as well. Waxlike but tons and ornaments serve as trim rnings, and there are examples where ordinary pearl buttons or large hooks and eyes are impressed into decorative service. The latter are usually covered with silk or metallic threads, wound about them or forming a crocheted cover.
 Italian silk, which for long while has been used almost exclusively for gloves and for underwear. now con- tributes to the fashioning of hosiery. In weave and finish it differs quite a little from the stocking of silk thread

 Did each child have an egg or an equivalent amount of meat, fish or poultry?
 Did any child have more than this of flesh foods or eggs? If so. might the money not have been better spent for fruits or vegetables?
 If I was unable to get milk. meat. fish, poultry or eggs, did serve dried beans or other 1egumes thoroughly cooked and carefully seasoned?
 Were vegetables and fruits both on the child's bill of fare once during the day? If not, was it because we have not taken pains to raise them in, our home garden?
 Did either the fruit or the vegetable disagree with the child? If so, ought I to have cooked it more thoroughly, chopped it more finely or have removed the skins or seeds?
 Was the child given sweets between meals or allowed to eat sweets when he should have been drinking milk or eating cereals, meat, eggs, fruit or vegetables?
 Was the food served in a neat and orderly way. and did the child take time to chew his food properly?

DID each child take about a quart of
 milk in one form or another?
 Have I taken pains to see that the milk that comes to my house has been handled in clean way?
 If I was obliged to serve sximmilk for the sake of cleanliness or economy, did I supply little extra fat in some other way?
 Were the fats which gave the child of the wholesome kind found in milk, cream. butter and salad oils or of the unwholesome kind found in doughnuts and other fried foods?
 Did I make good use of all sl1immilk by using it in the preparation of cereal mushes, buildings or otherwise?
 We're all cereal foods thoroughly cooked?
 Was the bread soggy? If so, was it because the loaves were too large or because they were not cooked long enough?

A brides clothes, be- cause they are apt to be more numer- ous than before her marriage do not wear out so quickly; hence they should be as conservative as possible.
 In wooden stuffs checks are particu- larly emphasized, and the sheer stuffs show good many crossbar and cheek designs, but up to date the silks lean much more heavily toward stripes.
 Some of the simpler striped silks are made up into unpretentious little frocks that have decided air of smartness, in spite of their simplicity, and that would be very useful in a

USE AND BEAUTY IN
 BUTTONHOLES

AUTONOMOUS should be made
 large enough to allow the button to slip through without pressure. They should be worked on the right side of double material, at least one-fourth of an inch from the edge of the garment. The distance between them is regulated by the material and by the size and To- cation of the buttons.
 The beauty of the buttonhole depends largely upon the straightness of the cut, the reEl1arity of distance between the stitches and the evenness of the stitches in depth.
 Make buttonholes firm, with fan at the end receiving the strain, and finish with a bar on the other end. A ver- ticaI buttonf1o1e with strains at neither end should be finished with bar at each end.
 Use thread to correspond with the weight of the material. Let the thread be long enough to work the entire but tonhole.

IN most cases woman is lawless: she
 will obey the law because she is afraid of it, but she will not respect it. For her it is always sic volo. sic jubeo. I suspect that if she had had share in making the law she would not have been like this, for she would have be- come aware of the relation between law and life. Roughly she tends to look upon the law as tyrannous if she does not like it. as protective if she does like it. Probably there is little relation be- tween her own moral impulse, which is generous, and the law. which is only just-that is, just in intention This is qualified by the moral spirit in wo- man, which increasingly leads her to the view that certain things should be done and others not be done.

 for small people may be made by fond mothers. One of the gowns is of a rather heavy white linen with a of which are buttonhoIed in points with white floss. The yoke and bolero are also embroidered in conventional pattern, and the sleeves and neck fn- ished with soft ruche. The other charming one piece is a fine quality of French knotted forgetmenots, also done in color, collar and tiny sleeves being edged with a narrow torchon. The lit tie crushed girdle of taffeta ribbon is smart as possible run through crocheted buckle. The spring bonnet is a sample of Belgian war lace, a Flanders guipure over pink or pale blue chiffon with a pretty ruch around the face and ribbon tiestrings. These baby caps cost $1.75 to $6.

Ys Woman's Attitude Toward Law


then it is likely that at heart woman does not respect the law; she may re- spect what it epresents-strength- but not what 1t implies-equity. She is infinitely more rebellious than man. and where she has power she inhames the world in protest. I do not refer 10
