Glidewell, injured in automobile collision at Sixth and Scott streets last Monday in Little Rock has returned home.
 Gardner was slugged in the back of the head by prisoner in an at tempted wholesale jail delivery Fri day night at II o'clock, March 25. After only three nights jail duty, his skull was thought to be fractured, an x-ray photograph of it was taken at the county hospital last Thursday, where Gardner was patient under treatment for recovery of the two- inch wound in his head, the photo graph showed no fracture, but the wound goes to the skull.

NEW STATE FARM
 FOR $52,OOO
PLACE ON BAUCUM PIKE WILL BE SITE OF MODEL DAIRY AND PRODUCE FARM.

By the terms of deal completed recently, the State of Arkansas has acquired the ownership of a 520-acre dairy and truck farm, located in Pulaski county, five miles from Little Rock on the Galloway pike, which will be known as the State Hospital Dairy Farm and will be operated in conjunction with the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases and other State institutions under the plan contained in the Ponder law passed by the 1919 General Assembly, carrying an ap- propriation of $75,O00.
 The tract lies between the Baucum pike and the Arkansas river, for the greater part, adjoining the Charley Roberts plantation. It was purchased for S52,500. The farm was bought from Harry Solmson of Little Rock by the State Board of Control. The remainder of the $75,000 appropria- tion will be used in equipping the place and putting it in shape to supply the State Hospital and other charitable institutions with dairy and farm produce, thus reducing the net cost of operation. The land cost virtually S100 an acre.
 Patients from the hospital whose physical condition will be benefited by outdoor work will be employed on the farm. The farm is already equip ped with up-to-date barns and sheds, but it is planned to make it one of the best in the State.
 A large herd of Holstein cows will be imported from Wisconsin, for the supply of milk to the hospital. Feed for the cattle will be raised on the large tract at small expense. Electri- cal dairy equipment will be used. The land is level sandy loam and is well drained by the natural slopes. Al though it's produce will be principally for the dairy herd, members of the board estimate that they will be able to supply great part of the corn meal, sorghum and vegetables used by the institutions. Under the pro visions of the act the produce will be purchased by the institutions at pre- vailing market prices.
 The principal value will be the making available of pure milk supply, off-setting conditions of milk famine which have arisen in the past. Adequate crops of corn, peas, alfalfa, clover and other feed crops are now being prepared or planted, and a sufficient amount of silage will be cut to last the herd through the winter.

KEPT SHOES AS ORNAMENTS
American Feetsear censIdered BY Un.
fortunats Serbian Woman a. Alto
eether Too Beautiful - Wear.

Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground Is considered q shoe
In Serbia.
In the remote rural districts Of the
country II Is said that many Of the
people live and die without owning .
pair Of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate II they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth. which they tie about their feet
with twine In winter.
The first Americsn-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created tremendous stir
among the people of the distant vii
lages. One old woman who had never
owned a pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on q shelf above the hre-
place. She was as pleased as a child
to own them, but nothing could induce
her to wear them. She said that she
intended to save them for fetes, or
perhaps for her burial. They were
much too beautiful to be worn" she
said.

who has accompanied the French
premier to many a combat on the

marked the other day, standing among
his chickens. has fought so many
duels as M'sieu Clemenceau. They
came from what he wrote In his pa
per. But he was so strong. He al
ways won. No adversary could hold
. sword against him.
"It was against the law. Of course" !"
added the old Frenchmap, seventy
two now. In q whisper, $50 we always
slipped out of the city for these
fights"
M'sieu Thien's cab stand used to be
in front of LTntrssigesnt, Cemen-
ceau's paper. Almost nightly. he
says. the present premier would come
out of his office and hail cab SOss.
He got the name Tiger II. Thisn
explains. because he WAS always the

boss of all animals.

Gems Romantic History.

Truly romantic is the story of the
Braganza diamond. stone Of 1880
carats. and "as large as a goose's egg.
which. for more than a century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone
which Mr.. Streeter the great author
lty on gems, has valued at f5s0O0 900
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws in the half-dried bed Of the
Ahaite river. In the province OF Mlnas
Geraes.
The outlaws took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them 70 the governor, Inn
whose possession II was given. The
diamond. the largest and finest hither-
to found. was dispatched to Lisbon.
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and rich
reward. while the padre to whose
friendly offices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment in
the church,
