ENTERTAINS BRIDAL PARTY.

Mrs. W. O. Wilson last evening en- tertained the Cureton- Brumley we'd ding party Declaring that no bride can have too many tea-towels, the hostess distributed towelling, needle, and thread to all the men and told each to hem a towel and embroider it with his name Meanwhile the ladies pres ent were racking their brains to re- duce to scientific formulae their most successful receipts, which were com- piled in a loose-leaf notebook and presented to the bride. Later each guest drew a card bearing the name of the bride or groom, and was told to compose a verse of farewell to the one named on the card, using the let ters of the name as an acrostlc. Both the bride and the groom received some very clever "poetic' advice, to which the bride responded with a grateful little verse.
 Excellent music was furnished by Misses House and Craig, Mrs. Cazort and Messrs. Craig and Ramp.

DISMISS CHARGE
 AGAINST CRADDY

A charge brought against Wallace Graddy, postmaster at Nilonia by Mrs. Nell Cartwright of Mt. Olive, widow of Luster Cartwright who was killed in battle in France, was dis missed after hearing before Justice J. z. Bailey today. The case was sent to Justice Bailey's court after the defense had been granted change of venue by Justice G. NJ. Easterwood, who was summoned as a witness in the case.
 Mrs. Cartwright, who was the only witness who was examined, testified that the defendant attacked her on the road between Conway and Roden's Mill on November IS, 1919. She said she had not brought charge against him earlier for the reason that he had promised to pay her a sum of money not to reveal the alleged crime, but had afterwards refused to do so. Before introducing any witness for the defendant his counsel moved that the case be dismissed on the ground that the states evidence did not in troduce facts sufficient to sustain the charge, and the motion was granted.
 The prosecuting witness was repre- sented by l. M Campbell and the de- fendant by R. w. Robins. The public was excluded at the hearing.

THAT simple little fruit Of the oak
 K tree, the acorn, has divided the mystic world of those who profess, or have professed. to read the riddle of dreams into two violently antagonistic camps. According to one set of pene- trators of the veil the acorn shed by the tree of night through the visions of our slumbers is as much to be de sired as rubies and fine gold; to the other set 1t Is thing to be abhorred Those who sit in the camp of the pes simists and the predictors of evil de- clare that to see an acorn in ones dreams means dire poverty ahead if you don't watch out. Another one walls that it means that you are about to commit an irreparable fault Not So,' comes the cheerful and confident cry from the other camp; the acorn seen in dreams Is one of the happiest auguries the acorn is one of dream lands most desirable products Those who say otherwise are night birds of tl-omen, croaking in the leafless dreamtrees whereOn acOrns never grew To dream of acorns, say this school of optimistic mystics, Is a sure sign of good things ahead; much happiness In store for you. It means. among other good things, that you will derive much gain from your present business. which will increase under your foster. Ing care. If you dream that you are picking acOrnS from the tree it means that, after trials, you will have sure success. If you are now laborer, or worker of any sort, and you dream that you are eating acOrns it is sure sign that, from your present condition of toll, you will rise to condition of peace and ease and plenty.

TO REDUCE THE COTTON CROP.

A Mississippi farmer has come for ward with a unique plan for reduc- ing the cotton crop, and is has as much merit as the one which pro- poses a reduction of the acreage, or perhaps more, for it has not yet been tried, and acreage reduction has.
 This gentleman, who claims Ala bama as his home, thinks that if a movement were put on foot and vigorously pushed to pledge every farmer not to use any fertilizer in making a crop, it would have a visible effect on the cotton market. The non-use of fertilizer, he thinks, would have the double effect of re- ducing the crop and leaving the money spent for fertilizer to use in making the crop. He also be- lieves that pledges of this kind would come nearer being kept than those in regard to the reduction of acre age.
 We all know how little attention has been paid to pledges to reduce the acreage in the past few years and we repeat that the only hope or at least the best chance, at any rate, in getting q reduced crop i! through conditions that will produce a short crop.

THE CLEAN SKIN

CIVILIZATION is matter of baths O At every period of history, where a nation became civilized and intel lectual and superior in refinement and culture to it's neighbors. it will be found that the bath was considered an important part of each days regime We have railroads and wireless and other marvellous inventions but the tiled bathroom with its running hot and cold water Is one of the superior products of modern ingenuity.
 Never omit the daily bath If you can avoid it. And, if possible, have a shower in your bathroom. If the house you are planning to build is too small to allow space for the large tub you prefer-build in shower bath, which costs less to install and takes up a quarter of the room. Shower baths are really the snly clean sort to

LARGE PROFITS IN FARMING.

The average return on farm in vestmen9 in investigation by the Department of Agriculture discloses
 was comparatively small in the year: preceding 1919 despite higher prices for farm products. Although the average return increased from to 2 per cent. most of the farmers made less than $500 cash year over and above living expenses.
 And still we find the people of the East sneering at the farmer of the South for wanting to hold his cotton for a price that will cover the cost of raising it.
 In 1919 the farmer, for the first time in many years, realized a sub- stantial profit on his cotton and the people in the non-produeing sections think now that he should rest con- tent with his profits of last year and let his crop loose now at any price which the spectators of New York are willing to give him, and to do this without kick.
 There is still talk of reducing the acreage next year. That has been preached year in and year out, but it has never had any effect. Much money has been spent in campaigns urging the farmer to reduce his cot ton acreage, during the next year. Many of them will sign pledges of this kind and keep them. But too many forget their promise when planting time comes and put the most of their land in cotton again. In great many places they do not even raise their own feed, but buy the high priced feeds shipped in from the Northern states, and add just so much to the cost of produc- tion.
 The United States has a virtual monopoly on cotton and the exports of this staple is what makes the balance of the trade in favor of the United States. If there was no cot ton to export this country would owe Europe instead of Europe owing us.
 And we all appreciate the fact that if things were so adjusted that we could automatically regulate the cotton crop so as to produce only eight million bales the price would take care of itself.
 But nothing short of very bad season will ever bring an eight-mil- lion bale crop, and we believe that much breath is being wasted in talk ing of reduction of acreage suffi- cieat to have any appreoiable eff feet on the crop.

AMENDMENT FIFTEEN.

The Supreme Court of Arkansas has been hoist by it's own petard.
 In passing upon the initiative and referendum the honorable court de- cided that a referendum law must have a majority of all the votes cast in the election in which it was voted upon, and not merely majority of the votes cast for or agaisnt it.
 At the recent election an act in- creasing the number of Supreme judges was referred to the people. The court is far behind with it's work and needs more judges to help it catch up with the work and then keep up with it. The work of this court has increased largely in the past few years and is still increas- ing as the population of the state grows.
 In the number of votes cast for and against this amendment to in- crease this number of Supreme judg- es large majority was in favor of the amendment, but there were enough people who were in- different and did not vote either way to defeat the measure. and the over- worked judges will have to struggle along as best they can with the growing docket.
 If voters are too indifferent to vote for or against a measure this indifference should not initiate against it. But the measure should be given the benefit of the doubt by registering one-half of the votes for and one-half against it.

TOO MANY INEFFICIENTS.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republi- can deprecates the fact that such men as Cordell Hull of Tennessee should be defeated. MT. Hull, the Republican says, is a recognized au- thority on taxation and was largely the author of the present income tax law.
 Mir. Hull has long been a member of the lower house and by reason of his experience he wielded a large influence and would have continu- ed to wield an influence for good even in a congress controlled by the republicans.
 It is too often the case, though, that just as men are reaching the zenith of their usefulness in public office a cataclysm comes along and retires them to private life.
 It is the same way in cabinet of fices Every four years there is a change in the heads of the several departments of the government, New and untried men, men who have had no experience whatever in the tasks they are about to as- sume are put in charge of the larg- est business in the world. And there is waste and extravaganza.
 Let us take the postmaster gen. eral, for instance. MT. Burleson was not fitted for his mammotha task either by experience or temperament, and while his figures show that he has made profit in the department, vet it has been done at the expense of efficiency. Democrats and repub- licans alike have pronounced him to be the biggest failure the country has ever had in that department, and all because he was not fitted for the job.
 A job of that magnitude should not be used to pay political dept. An efficient man should be placed in charge of the postoffice department and kept there just as long as he conducted the department in an eff ficient manner.
 In our elective offices too little attention is paid to the fitness of the candidate, but if he is good mixer and a smooth talker he can win votes enough to elect him.
 Congress is full of nonenities who were elected on a charming person. aIity and through their splendid campaigning ability.
 When we get good man in an important office we ought to keep him there, and whenever he proves his inefficiency, fire him out and keep on trying until we find the right man.

A SEVENTEEN CENT MEAL.

1t is said that Uncle Sam is serv. ing course dinners for IT cents, and prime ribs of roast beef at 25 cents with potatoes, bread and butter thrown in at the Ellis Island immi- grant station.
 Uncle Sam may be doing all that and not showing balance on the right side of the ledger. Uncle Sam does lots of things cheaper than any body else, but the people have to pay fuI it in the long run.
 The National Hotel Association, having heard of this stunt of your uncle's is going to find out how he does it. The hotel keepers are going on the assumption, of course, that he is making money by the process.
 If they can go to Ellis Island, or anywhere else and find out how to put up a first-class meal cheaper than they are now doing and then do it, al's we'll and good. But if they go and learn some of Uncle Sam's economic secrets and then go home and continue to charge the same old lriees, then an outraged pubic should rise up and bid thcm go hence.
 We are for more eats and cheaper eats. but we are against any further profiteering. The American people are getting tired of prices jumping from peak to peak, as it were.
