 In the attic she opened trunk and took out bundle wrapped carefully in tissue paper. Tearing off the wrap- pings, she disclosed lovely. flmy gown.
 "That," she said, 'is my wedding dress"
 And do you call it economy to save your wedding dress?" he chortled. That's not economy, it's sentimen. tality. It would have been economy to wear that dress and get It's worth out of it. But here it is no earthly good to you nor anybody else. Econo. my! Huh!'

Over 7 and Under IS.

J. L. Bond, superintendent of pub lie instruction, had to call on the at- torney general for an opinion relative to the ages of children who come un- der the compulsory education law. The act passed by the 1917 legislature reads that any person having any child in custody "between the ages of seven and fifteen, both inclusive. shall send such child or children to a public. private or parochial school.
 Superintendent Bond was inclined 10 believe that children aged seven and aged 15 were included in the pro- visions of the act, but in a verbal opinion, Attorney General Arbuclle said that only those children over sev- en and under 15 years of age are in- cluded.

Little Rocl5--
 First to take advantage of the cot ton grading feature of the new Ark ansas warehouse and gin regulating law were two Chicot county farmers, from whom John H. Page, commis- sioner of agriculture, received sealed samples of cotton ginned under the states supervision.
 Bale No. 15, ginned by J. E. Wood as good middling, one-inch staple.
 Bale No. 16, ginned by J. E. Wood at Eudora for Tom Tinney, as tenant on the farm of Dr. H. H. Parr, was graded as strict good middling, one and one-sixteenth in staple.
 Certificates were mailed to tho growers on the same day the samples were received, enabling them to take advantage of this service in the mar keting of their cotton.
 The grading of cotton is done by ex- perts under the direction of c. D. Atkinson of the United States Bureau of Markets, who has been assigned by the United States Department of Az riculture iE the administration of this feature of the warehouse and marketing law.
 Samples are taken by the ginners from all bales of cotton, sealed and delivered to the owner of the cotton, who can send the Scaled samples to Commissioner Page and have them graded or classified so that the true value of the staple may be known. Under this arrangement the grower, upon the receipt of his certificate from the government graders, may consult the market page of his daily paper and ascertain exactly what his cotton is worth in Liverpool, New York, New Orleans or Little Rock.
