How to Retrieve Stamp.

Most people do not know that an
unused postage stamp which has been
attached to a letter that 1t is decided,
later, not to mail, can be very easily
separated from the envelope 1t cleaves
to-without the troublesome soaking in
water that takes time when one wants
to use the stamp In hurry. And most
people do want stamp in hurry.
The trick is simple enough: Simply
tear the envelope from the stamp in
stead Of trying to wrest the stamp
from the envelope. Cut the envelope
away from the stamp, leaving just q
margin of paper for thumb and finger
to grasp; then with the stamp turned
away from you and the paper toward
you, begin to peel away the paper at
one corner Of the stamp, then another,
then another. Presently the paper will
be loose at all the edges and little
care will get 1t quite of the stamp at
the center. Try this, next time you
want to use an already pasted-down
postage stamp and see how easy 1t is

REVERSE METHOD OF NATURE
How Japanese Produce Dwarf Trees
Which in Many Cases Are Re-
narkabIy Beautiful.

There is n general impression that
the method Of producing dwarf trees is
secret that the Japanese have never
divulged, but the course to be pur-
sued is really simple. The whole sys-
TEN Of culture may be summed up as
the reverse of natures method. 1t
really consists, not in the survival of
the fittest, but rather in the survival
of the unfittest. A poor, weak seed Is
usually chosen and planted. As soon
as 1T has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmed off, The lit
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits strength and vi
tally greater than its fellow, IL is at
once cut off, and the weaker shoot is
untouched in order,to form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system Of trimming and cutting is fol-
lowed punctiliously. Water is seldom
used-only in very small quantities to
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree is kept In pot too small for
fits full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth Of a large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the jap
anese never tire watching the growth
Of the tree from day to day, week to
week, and month to month. When the
tree has been growing for about five
years, It can then be practically left
to take care Of itself. 1t has become
accustomed to its training, and its sur
roundings, and, like force Of habit, fol-
lows the course laid out for 1t. In this
manner some very magnificent speci-
mems of dwarf trees are produced
which In their miniature beauty and
majesty compare favorably with their
big brothers in the unframed forests.

how CAN YOU TELL YOUA
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out If they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms Of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
fiavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities Of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of fiavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious Of all
favorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old hurley tobacco.
plus q dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco q pure fragrance

any other tobacco. Try II aud -.

How to Clean a Clock.

Take Off the pointers and face; also
take off the pendulum and Its wire.
Remove the ratchet from the tick"
wheel, and the clock will run down
with great velocity. Let 1t go--the In
creasing speed wears away the gum
and dust from the pinions, the clock
cleans itself. Put the least bit OF
sperm oil on the axles. Put the ma
chine together, and nine times In ten
1t will run just as well as II 1t had
been taken to the shop. If instead OF
a pendulum, the clock has a watch
escapement, this latter can be taken
out In an instant, without taking the
works apart, and the result Is, the
same. 1t takes about 20 minutes to
clean a clock and saves the bill for
repairing.

HOW 1T is POSSIBLE TO
~ " RECORD EMOTIONS

II =
~ " RECORD EMOTIONS
OF CERTAIN VEGETABLES.
did you know that vegetables
can write? An Indian scientist.
who has made very close study
OF vegetables, has invented an
elaborate instrument through
which vegetables record their
emotions In visible marks and
dots.
AS. In the ordinary course of
events, 1t would take too long to
wait for the emotions to occur
(for vegetables do not pass
through such rapid emotions as
human beings), the scientist in
duces the emotions, reading"
subsequently, the vegetables re-
marks upon the subject.
This scientist excites the veg
etable, and its excitement is
plainly shown by the manner in
which 1t writes It's dots. He be-
numbs 1t with potassium cya-
hide. The |pen" writes nothing.
He makes it drunk by admins
tering Intoxicating vapors, and
the dots are as struggling as a
toper's footsteps!
Finally, he kills the vegetable
by heat. The dots descend as
the temperature rises. At 40
degrees Fahrenheit the dots
bound suddenly upward. This
Is the final spasm-The vege-
table Is dead.
Astonishing as this may APP
pear, it is less surprising, scien-
lists say, when it is realized what
a fine line divides the animal and
vegetable kingdoms.

f. p. Twiford. "Mossback..

Mr.. Editor: We desire to reply to
an article read before the Acorn Com
munity Club, entitled "The Mossback
Farmer" We admit the name. We
are opposed to dipping cattle every
two weeks because we are Democrats
and believe in a majority of the peo-
pie ruling, and know that majority
of the people are opposed, and that it
would be showed under in an election
2 to /. We are not opposed to every
body fertilizing their crops as they see
fit. Now in regard to the jefferson
Highway. We at first opposed it, not
that it was not good thing, but the
question arose with us: "Can the tax
payers afford it7" Climatic condi-
tons are against farming on a large
scale. The farmer receives so per
cent less for what he sells than what
he buys, which don't leave him a
large balance to pay high taxes with,
but we want it to go thru because a
majority signed the petition.
In conclusion, we have got this to
say: We object to few people run
ming measures over the people with
out vote or petition, thereby setting
up an autocratic power and trying to
pass it off on the people for Democ-
racy. T.. p Twiford

Red Cross Saved His Life.

Pvt. James M. Slime, brother of C,
A. Slime, living on West Jansen av-
enue, arrived in Mena Tuesday from
Camp Pike, where he was discharged
after year of overseas service. Sol
der Slime was member of Company
A, seth Division and had enlisted in
Oklahoma City, having previously
been member of the Oklahoma Ma
tional Guard He was at the front in
the Argonne sector and was cap
tured and held as prisoner at Ras-
stadt, Germany, from October 8 to De-
cember 8. He came thru the service
without scratch, but says if it had
not been for the American Red Cross
he and others would have died of star
walton while imprisoned, the German
rations consisting almost wholly of
horsefesh and carrots, the horse meat
being taken from animals killed at
the front and the carrots being cooked
in water without seasoning. The Red
Cross, working thru the neutral coun-
try of Switzerland, regularly fur
nished food and clothing.
