Newspaper Poetry Defended.

Here is a word of cheer for the
long-suffering newspaper poet. Walt
Mason, as quoted by George Matthew
Adams in the New Success, believes
that "People want poetry easy to read,
poetry with a jingle in it, poetry that
treats of the things and conditions
they are familiar with, and they want
their poetry clean and wholesome.
1.-THE best American newspaper
poetry fills all these requirements,
and that's why it is doing SO much
good. A man sees in the news paper
a clever rhyme full of hope and en-
enlargement and he cuts it out and
shows it to his friends, and carries 1t
in his pocket and takes it home.
"The modern newspaper poets are
doing more to brighten the world and
make it a good place to live than all
the extinct poets in the Hall of Fame
or Westminster Abbey ever did. The
newspaper poets are forever preach
ing the sanest optimism, designed for
the people who really need the In
fiuence of optimism-the bread-win-
ners, the weary and heavy laden"

liza, syringa, geranium, etc, will be
effective The massing of color is as
important as that of kind.
3. Avoid straight lines.
Even slight curves are better than
none. Borders may be curved here
and there, and so break the monotony
of the line.
Hardy Plants Popular.
Shrubs and hardy plants are popu-
lar, for they cost less and last longer
than ANNALS. Most of them have
beautiful flowers, at least in portions
of the year. BY proper selection there
may be an unbroken succession Of
flowers from early spring till late fall.
Use vines generously. They may be
made to cover sunny corners or I'M
slightly buildings and fences. Most of
them, when once started, require little
attention and give beautiful results.

teal stucco residence, containing
seven rooms, sun porch, pantry and
bath. Size of main part is % by 90

In subdivision work, it is more often
a question of putting in trees than of

of taking them out must be consid-

PUNITIVE DAMAGES

OF oWlNGS VS.. COTTON BELT
AND ROCK ISLAND LINES.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
Cannon Carrier Only Held For Punt
tive Damages When There Is Will
full as Well as Gross Negligence
in Killing Passenger.

Little Rock
According to an opinion handed
down by the Supreme Court heavy
punitive damages against a common
carrier can lie only when the carrier
exhibits a degree of willful as well as
gross negligence in killing a passen-
ger and the compensatory damages
must be based upon the earning ca
pacity of the person killed rather
than upon sentiment
The decision was rendered in the
ase of the Cotton Belt and the Rock
Island Railroads from judgment or
$4,000 punitive damages and $22,500
actual damages granted Mrs. Frank
Martin Owings in the ST Francis
County Circuit Court for the death of
her husband in a RAILROAD accident at
Mounds.
The evidence showed that Owings
left Forrest City for Mounds on the
evening of January q, 1917, to spend
the first anniversary of his marriage
with his wife, then living at Mounds.
The Rock Island train, on which he
was a passenger, was struck from the
rear by Cotton Belt train, which was
running by traffic contract upon the
Rock Island tracks.
Justice Frank Smith wrote the opin-
ion of the court and stated that the
proof showed that Owings was earn
ing about s125 per month, and that
he had been giving his wife SIS per
month, and that $4,000 was sufficient
TO bring in such an annuity. Justice
Smith held that the s22,500 asked was
excessive.
The judgment as to the punitive
damages was reversed, and unless the
appellee will sign a remittitur down
to $4,000 within Is days the judgment
carrying s22,500 will be reversed and
pemanded.
The court reversed and remanded
for another trial the case of T. J. Sise-
more against the State for alleged
violation of the white slave law.

Anyone can plan and arrange a

when talking of house building. Per-
haps anyone can-but it requires
thought to plant and build in a way
that will give beauty, rest and har-
mony. Too many people plant trees,
bushes and flowers without regard to
the buildings, scattering them pro-

or driving single stake for location,
make pencil sketch of the house and

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

A good many new houses look bleak
and uninyiting because of the lack of
trees and shrubs around them. Or
dinarily it takes few years for these
to grow; so even if a start at plant
ing is made at once, there is a period
of baroness before the new house is
properly framed and screened.
Often the homebuilder is able to
select lot that is wooded" as the
real estate men say, and by preserv-
ing the trees already on the site he
gets at once a well-planted effect.
Whether the value of the land it
self is increased by trees or not is a
subject given much thought by the
students of real estate. The tree in
the heart of the city is of little value.
Unless placed in perfect relation to
its surroundings it may even be a
detraction. AS a rule, however, the
real estate dealer appreciates the ex-
fstence of strong influence which
the tree in the abstract exerts on ap-
parent real estate values in residence
districts.
Trees Help Sales.
Subdivision operators assert that
lots in a subdivision will sell faster
with trees upon them, for the reason
that the effect Of a well-grown tree or
tree group on lot gives somehow a
substantial appearance to the whole
of the property. The sense of perma-
nency attaching to the tree seems in
the mind of the homeseeker to spread
to the house also. Thus the house a
