WOMEN REGISTRATION
 INSTRUCTION SCHOOL

The school of instruction for the wo- men registrars has been so we'll at tended this week, that the school will probably be kept up the entire week, as well as next week too. All white women in this community will register at the banks, at which places booths will be located. The colored women will register at the colored schools, anl colored women will be in charge of these booths.
 A list of the rural teachers has been given the committee in charge, and an effort will be made to reach all the women in the country.
 In registering, women do not obli- gate themselves or any member of their family. They merely let Uncle Sam know just what they could do Ii the time should come, when they fould be asked to help the country. They will never be drafted--simply asked to do their part at home.

AIGH COURT SAYS CAN BRING BOOZE
 IN f0R OWN USE

Little Rock. Feb 4.-Bringing li- quor into the state is not in violation of the bone dry law, contrary to rul- state, under which hundreds of per sons have been fined, according to 9 decision of Lhc Arkansas Supreme Court handed down Monday.
 The decision held that person could personally bring liquor into the state and that it did not matter, in- solar as the bone dry law was con- cerned, whether the liquor was for personal consumption or for sale. If for sale, the court pointed out, con- victions for illegal sale of liquor could be obtained under the statewide pro- hibition law. If for personal use the act did not constitute an offense un- der either law.
 Shipping Still Barred.
 One legal barrier, the Webb-Ken- von law, Federal statute, prohibit ing the taking of intoxicating liquors into "dry" territory, still stands bar to prevent the importation of liquor. Federal agent, however, have been ordered not to search suitcases for li- quor
 The bone dry law, the Supreme Court held. prohibits the transporta- tion or shipment of liquors into the state. The checking of trunk con- taining liouor would come under the head of violating the law, it was pointed out, under the courts deci- sion, as it would constitute ship ment.
 The decision was based on con viction of A. P. (Tonv) Rivard. of Hot Springs, convicted in the Garfield Circuit Court of bringinr liquor into the state. The Garland Circuit Court instructed the jury that if Rivard brought the liouor into the state to sell he violated the bone dry law. but that if he brought it in for personal use he did not violate the law. The Supreme Court, however, ruled that neither cons ituted an offense. but that if Rivard had liquor for sale he could be reached under other statutes.

Be Careful in Using
 Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is just plain mul- sihed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely .greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most, expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this'a at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it:in. about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and dandruH.

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has Followed an evolution of it's own. and as 1t comes to us today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. It has tended away from the epic and the ex. pression of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now far more than 1t did. in far more subtle and intricate directions. the feelings Of the individual. If 1t gives voice on public, national or international evsAts 1t does so from a far more specialized and personal point of view than of old, and with something of the acerbity and narrow intellectual outlook of the party politician. The strength of mod ern poetry hardly seems to lie foc tho tuture in this direction.
