Arkansas Farm Boy a Wonder Me-
 chanic

Noel Jones, student in the RusSellville Agricultural School. the son of John William Jones. a farmer living in Logan county near Prairie View, is considered the boy mechanic of Arkansas. He recently finished building a talking machine similar to the famous Edison. It is made from black Walnut log given him 5y a neighbor. In spite of the fact that he earns his way through school by. firing at the Power Plant in the afternoons and eve nings, and has tosdo his study ing in the boiler room, he found time to make the machine by getting up at four o'clock in the morning and going to the car penter shop to work before his lessons for the day began.
 The machine will soon be auc- toned of 10 the highest bidder in the Second Presbyterian Church of Little Rock by the Rev. Hay Watson Smith. Young Jones first became interested in the Agricultural school when, as an agricultural club member, he attended the Short Course given in Russellville last summer by the Univel sity of Arkansas Ag- ricultural Extension Division. He entered there last fall and worked to pay his expenses, but next year he expects the money from the sale of hls machine will be enough to meet his needs for the coming school year.

 Soft Drinks

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. 15.-The amount of costs that Henry Ford may receive from the Chicago Daily Tribune in ad- dition to the SIX cents damages awarded him last night by jury which heard bis libel suit against the Chicago newspaper, will not exceed $50. Under a Michigan law, where nominal damages 'are awarded not more than $50 costs can be assessed against the los ing party.
 Alfred Lucking, senior attor- ney for Ford, said that little at tention had been given to the matter of costs, and that until he had looked up inc law cover tug the case, he could not say how much Mr. Ford could ex- pect to receive. Among other attorneys. however, the opinion was held that in cases where damages awarded amount to less than $50 the costs if collectible may not exceed the judgment awarded. In this event, Mr. Ford could demand only six cents costs from the Tribune.

Thousands Lost Because of Dirty
 Sweet Potato Houses

Thousands of bushels of sweet potatoes rot in Arkansas every year because the storage houses are dirty at storing time, accord ing to J.S Knox, of the Agricul tural Extension Division. who gives the folio wing information in regard to disinfection of stor- age houses: If potatoes were stored in a house last winter, that house is not fit to store DO tatoes in this year until it is thoroughly cleaned and disin- fected. Clean the floor of the house thoroughly and remove any rotten potatoes that may yet be present in the house.
 After this has been done spiay the house inside with a solution made by mixing one pint of 40 per cent formalin with 10 gal Ions of water. Be sure to spray floor, walls, ceiling and bins, wetting every part thoroughly with the disinfectant. After this is done open doors, windows and ventilators so that the house will dry out as quickly as possible. It costs very little to clean your house out in this way and it may be the means of saving a good percentage of your crop of sweet potatoes. Don't wait until your potatoes are ready to dig before doing the funigating or disin- fecting but do so NOW" :"

Girls of Y. w. c. A.
Put On Beautiful
Fete at Long View

Before a crowd of some two
thousand people girls of the girls
department of the Y. W. G. A. last
evening put on an exceptionally
beautiful May fete at Long View
park, which far exceeded the ex-
pectations of the spectators and
did credit to those taking part as
well as to the leaders who helped
in preparing the events. The af-
fair was a decided success in spite
of the fact that it had been post
poned twice because of weather
conditions. Everything went of
without a mishap.
The feature of the evening was
the GROWING of the May queen,
Miss Agatha Peterson, a popular
high school senior, who was Sc
lected as queen by the girls of the
Hi-Y club some time ago. Her
name had not been announced and
not until the procession drew near
did the crowd know who was the
queen. Miss Peterson was dainti-
ly gowned in white with a long
veil. She made a very dainty
queen indeed.
The procession started at 7:30.
