LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Little Rock, Jan. 24.-There are
two clocks in the senate chamber,
one evidently for quitting and the
other for commencing. One clock is
20 minutes behind the other, though
both are supposed to be operated
by the same master clock. This
week the clock which registers the
slowest mas been the one for quit
ting time, the senate holding on
again Tuesday until O'Clock be-
fore adjourning. The senate was
right then in the middle of COM
mittee of the whole, considering
whether or not it would recommend
favorable the $4,000 appropriation

must consider the bill further on
another day.
The sections of the bill which
were adopted were those adopting

Big MASS MEETING
SATURDAY, JAN. Il
Farmers Requested to Meet at Court
House at 10 O'clock to Hear
Farm Loan Act Discussed.

J. T. Hopkins, well known farm
er residing east of Paragould, is
deeply interested in the federal
farm loan law under the provisions
of which loan associations may be
formed by farmers and loans secur-
ed from the government on long
time and at low rate of interest.
Mr.. Hopkins is secretary of an as
sociation of this kind recently or
ganized at Wallis Chapel. He
writes The Press and Soliphone call
ing attention to the fact that on
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock,
January 27, mass meetings will be
held in all the county seats, the
purpose of these meetings being to
acquaint the public with the pro-
visions of the farm loan law. Mr..
Hopkins requests this paper to an
nounce that such a meeting will
be held at the court house in Para
gould on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 10
o'clock Prominent men are ex-
pected to address the mass meeting.
The official call is issued by the
American Farm Loan Finance
League, composed of representatives
of national farm loan associations
and others Interested. It's chairman
is Herbert Myrick, the president of
Farm and Home. The official call
reads: "The hour has struck for
the American people to realize their
new opportunity. A new era of
thrift and prosperity is at hand.
1t is rich in promise of progress,
economy, social, spiritual. 1t en-
ables the poorest mad richest to ac-
quire stake in the land. II
helps the farmer to own his own
farm-to become proprietor instead
of tenant. Independent instead OF
dependent.
''It safely and profitably employs
the peoples savings, no matter how
small or large, in building up the
agriculture and industry, manufac-
turing and commerce, of their own
community.
'It is the ripe fruition of Ameri-
cas- century of cooperative thrift.
These brilliant possibilities are
within reach of every person and OF
each community. These possibili-
ties are afforded by the Federal
farm loan act of 1916. AS a means
Iof help to self-help, it is the great
charter of rural credits, popular
savings and thrift Investment. The
new system is now about to go into
effect.
Therefore, by virtue of the uni
versal interest in and benefits pos
sible from the Federal farm loan
system, the American Farm Finance
League hereby calls upon the peo-
pie to gather in mass meeting at
the county seat of their respective
counties, at 10 a. m. on January
~, 1917, for the purpose of consid-
.ering the Federal farm loan act.
"At such time and places, the
people are urged to take such ac-
tion as their wisdom may approve
whereby both would-be borrowers
and would-be investors may be en-
abled to enjoy fullest advantages
of the new system. Each meeting
lis also invited to form county
branch of this league"

a committee of the whole, it being
an appropriation measure. The
first section was adopted without
comment, but when the second was
reached Senator Carruth, voiced
strenuous opposition. He declared
that the sdigestors were self-appOint-
ed, and the state was not obligated
to purchase their product, yet the
state needs a digest and he was
willing to buy it, yet he thought
committee of three eminent law
yers should be asked to pass upon
the book and see if it was the one
desired. He declared the state
should not buy a digest that was
not accurate, and for this reason he
asked that the committee be engag-
ed.
The discussion then became gen.
eral, Senators Alexander, Caldwell,
Bush, Garrett and Greathouse favor
ing the bill. and Senators Ruff, Col
Inns and others opposing, but as
the bill could be discussed on its
merits when it came up for final
action, they voted for the sections
until the third was reached.

sion began, the senate killed several

postponement The one to feel the

TO STENCIL PAPER SHADES
They Can Be Painted in Designs and
Stripes to Match General Deco
rative Scheme.

The girl who stencils will recognize
In her oiled stencil paper a possibility
for making one of the new paper lamp
shades. The oiling of the board of
paper makes it translucent. They can
be painted in designs and stripes to
match the general decorative scheme.
Used In the natural old-gold color
they are equally lovely, especially II
the base of the lamp is of a solid
bright color.
Another way to treat the paper
shade is to paste cut-out designs from
cretonne on the paper and paint in the
background with black enamel thinned
out as much as possible. This method
makes the light shine through the col
ored designs and leaves the back
ground Opaque. Such a shade should
not be used, however, where there Is
only n lamp in the room and where
plenty of light is needed.
A clever way of mellowing the light
from these more decidedly designed
paper shades is to cover the outside
with a layer of delicate gauze in a
deep cream or rose color. This will
not interfere with the effect of the de-
sign. but will prove to give a much
softer lighting effect than the plain
shade.

do all they can to prevent her betrayal.
Also, she may rejoice either in a
moderately short costume, or In one
wherein the long coat and the over

new double tunic effect. And her more
severe sister may prudently cover her
ankles and select the unbroken lines
which are also correct.

Seize affair, SO far as the length is
concerned, and is rendered more in
teresting by being effected in a big
bold check. For general utility a dark
pepper-and-saIt rough tweed Is the
choice that commends itself, with, for
the waistcoat and side pieces of the
skirt, a gray and black plaid, over
checked with fine lines of powder
blue and yellow. The coat Is cut on
severely straight lines, although the
adept tailor knows how to introduce
just a suspicion of shapeIiness with
out detracting from the elongated eIe-
gance. A collar that is part of the
waistcoat plays a decorative part.
