it to fasten itself with Persian en-
broidcred buttons. The hat is one of
those hand-painted affairs. Old blue is
the shade. and the design is painted in
black, pink and green. The skirt. of
pure Belgian linen, has a tucked belt,
single pocket and huge pearl buttons.

COMP PETITION ENDS
 WHEN WAR BEGINS
IMPLEMENT SALESMAN STATES THAT GOVERNMENT WILL USE ENLISTED MEN IN FAC
 TORIES AND ON FARMS.

Some insight into the plans of the government in industrial prepared- ness was given by factory represen- tative for one of the leading imple- ment manufacturing concerns of the United States, who was in Little Rock the past week.
 Competition between the factories has ceased. and there is no longer the rush for business we have had stat ed the salesman; "the factory repre- sentatives have come together under government agents. and are now work ing out a way to supply the demand for farm machinery in order that there may be d full crop raised this year. The factories cannot now sup ply over 60 per cent of their orders, for they cannot get material and the labor to manufacture it.
 Within the next two or three months we will find whole regiments of soldiers sent to the farms. We will find others sent to the factories, and we will see the government apportion- ing to the manufacture of farm ma chinery certain per cent of the iron product of the country

 The International Harvester Com banv has entered heart and soul into fine movement for the production of more foodstuff, and orders went out from Chicago for every man to get Ausy and lend a helping hand Wher- ever he saw an OK in the ditch. The men went forth, with especial instruc- tions to show the planters who might want to beat the daylight saving plan by working in the night how to place fights on their machinery instead of sending the farm hand to the occulist for owl or cat attachments. They iourneyed into the Land of the Rice Grower and thought it a field for their oneration, when low and behold they found the Ford car had preceded them. Their talents were not needed there
 N. w Nelson, state agent for the International, states that he has re- ceiYed instructions to keep larger supply of parts for machinery than usual, so there will be no occasion for delay in making repairs at any time. The International has always kept on hand skilled mechanics to rush to the scene of trouble at any time to make repairs, but the International now goes further and instruets it's field men to make inspection of machinery sold in former years, and make report so that worn parts may be replaced before breaks occur, thus saving val uable time.
 Mir. Nelson also explains the night blowing in the rice belt by showing how rain has retarted blowing so that when the weather has been sufficient ly dry not a minute could be lost.

Robert B. Rhodes was made very happy with all of his family on May 13, for they have found their hogs which strayed off from them Novem- Der 25, 1916, while living on the old Mark Goodson place at North Point. The hogs were found at Mir. Lainers. east of Ferndale about one and one half miles, which makes about eight or ten miles from where they strayed from.
 When the hogs left him there were only three now there are six: One barrow weighing about 250 pounds; one gilt weighing about 200 pounds; one gilt, weighing about 175 pounds, one gilt weighing about 75 pounds; two small pigs weighing about 40 pounds each, which makes total of 7S0 pounds, which at 10 cents per pound would bring SIS.

Though both of his parents were Germans he is entitled to the name of George Washington, II anybody ever was, because he was born on February 22, 1850. He still lives or the place he was born on. Some of the timbers in his home were at one time in the first capitol of Ark ansas. At least the first legislature met in the building, which his father purchased and moved to his place from Crystal Hill.
 In 1919 the President appointed James Miller the first governor of Arkansas. Governor Miller bought a large tract of land and built a house on it about 1920 in which the legisla- ture met. This was at Crystal Hill, up the river about ten miles above Little Rock He tried to locate the state capitol on it. An election was held and it only lacked one vote of winning.

 The men are first registered by young women of the city at the Hotel Marion. They then. make the trip to the fort and lose their identity as civilians
 Hundreds of automobiles have beeu necessary for this work, but when Sunday came and the young men wanted to come back to town again they found a surprise for them in trucks from local jobbing houses, with seats nicely arranged so that from 25 to 50 could be hauled at one time, and in this manner hundreds of embryo officers were transported back and forth during the day. The big truck of the Rose-Lyon Hardware Company was one of those steadily engaged all during the day.

 MT. Heilman during his long life here has been a useful man to the community and related many interest ing "reminiscences of his experience with the legislature and prominent state officials He has raised a large family of children, all of whom are grown except pretty little five-yeal'- old El-Line. One daughter, Miss Alba, passed me on the road homeward bound from school at Jonesboro. She was formerly our correspondent at Oak Grove. A son is employed in the Little Rock postoffice and two are at home. Several of his children and other relatives from Little Rock were also weekend guests. The distance is only six miles from Little Rock. I attended Sunday school in the morn- ing and preaching in the afternoon. As the preacher did not appear they had singing. Their singing is excel lent, I believe the best I have heard in any Sebastian county rural com munity. MT.

 There are many interesting things l could write of this rugged hill com munity but will only relate one. MT.

them The most successful way is to limit the increase by killing the pups while very young. The old settlers say that the mother wolf leaves her young for the first time on May the first, and on that occasion she is very uneasy about them and calls to them frequently when they answer back The hunter goes out early to the top of the mountain, listens and locates the den by this means. Then though the dogs will not run wolves, their master by encouraging them gets them to lead the way to the den, where the pups are killed. The last night of April spent with s. L.

He fol- lowed it up and secured seven wolf pups. MT. Tolley says that the pups can be located for two or three days following the first of May, but he is very particular to plan his trip each year for May day.

This route will short. en the distance between that county and Little Rock nine miles. In addl. tion there is one of the most beauti- ful views of the country on the south side of the Big Maumelle. For quite a distance the road runs east and west, over which stretch the view is most beautiful, especially novel is the sight in foggy weather. There is view of the top of Pinnacle and other tall peaks above the clouds. These people have secured the right of way, but they are dependent on the couH- ty for the completion of the road, which was surveyed by the state high way engineer.

Then he got five more hounds and caught nine foxes with them before some one poisoned, them, He has six now with which he has caught five wild cats, but no foxes. His dogs do not prowl around away from home, nor suck eggs, and lie game, so he cannot understand why anyone should kill them.
