Shrub May Prove Valuable.

Two years before the war, as the story is told, two German chemists applied for permission to experiment with the plant life on great semi-arid ranch in central Mexico. Their re- quest was granted, with the under standing that they furnish complete report of their findings. The two chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly on a squat, OdOrous shrub called go bernadOra," long reputed to possess medicinal properties. Suddenly they disappeared what they had discover ed was never known. Now, after ex- periments with this same desert shrub which they have found in drler parts of New Mexico, chemists of the United States department of agricui' ture believe that they have discovered another alkaIOid to add to the list which already includes morphine ouinine and cocaine. Its chemical ana pharmaceutical properties are now un' der stigation.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

TWO TRAVELLERS CAME BACK
According to Army Captain, Mules Re- turned From That Dim and
 Undiscovered Shore.

The regimental morning report is q fearsome document. On it appear all the changes in status of men and an;- malls for each preceding "A hours. It happened in an Ohio regiment once that two mules fell ill one night. The veterinarian gave his verdict of hope less, and the captain of the supply company accordingly made the proper entry on the morning report: TWO mules, from duty to dead.
 But under the care of the grizZled old stable sergeant the mules recov- cred and next morning the captain found them alive and kicking. NOW. entries made on the morning report can never be erased, which made the situation embarrassing for the cap tain. However, he was man of re- source, and the next days report car' ried the startling entry: Two mules' from dead to duty"

THE ATLANTIC COAST
 IS IN GRIP OF STORM
Cold Snow, Ice and High Seas Are Threatening New York With
 Fuel Famine.

New York, Feb. 5, = Huge waves, rolled up by a 5O-mile gale, were still sweeping the North Atlantic coast tonight while cities and towns along the shore were trying with in different success to dig themselves out of the deepest snowdrifts of years. Damage done by the sea to resorts ana summer hcmes along the New Jer- sed and Long Island coasts was esti- mated at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Shipping remained at anchor or moved with the utmost caution. In the landlocked waterways around New York huge ice floes menaced navigation. The steamer Maine of the New England Steamship Com pany was driven ashore on the north end of Long Island and four other Sound liners were reported creeping along through fields of ice. ~T The Maine, which carried five passengers and crew of 70, was reported in no immediate danger.
 Cold, snow, ice and high seas have made it almost impossible to trans port coal from the tidewater reser voir at Perth Ambey to New York and the city faces a fuel famine which will force all it's transportation lines to suspend operations unless the weather moderates sufficiently While mountainous seas were batter ing the coast the highest tide ever re- corded in New York harbOr caused the floods along the Hudson and Harlem rivers. Ferry houses on the New York and New Jersey sides of the Hudson were flooded and water from the Erie terminal dripped into the Hudson tubes at Jersey City.
 Two score big snow blows were at work today on the New York Central between New York and Buffalo. Snow drifted from 15 to IS feet in some of the big cuts. Through trains from all directions were running hours late Suburban traffic as seriously impeded.
 Seabright, long target for the waves, suffered more than any of the ether Northern New Jersey coast re- sorts, It was estimated that the high tide and heavy seas lad caused $250,000 damages to bullkhead streets and residences there Ar recently completed bLkhead saved the main residence part of the town.

copy, representing business houses of integrity and responsibility is desirable in most publications. It fills an i'm portant part in informing the reader and general public where the most re- putable dealers are to be found. 1t informs them of changes in styles and in Improvements in the things they use and need every day.
 In the economy of things it is usual ly arranged that the fellow who fol- lows the free advertisers usually gets just what they intend he shall get stung.
 From the advertisers standpoint it is unwise to place high-class, carefully prepared copy in publication where it's quality is determined by reason of it's association with sub-standard advertising matter"

Two things gre working together to soon bring about increased activity in road construction in Little River coun- ty. One is that the special road ses- sion of the legislature is just finishing up all needful curative road legisla- tion and also creating new districts, which can go forward at a reasonably early date. The other reason is that spring is rapidly approaching and with it will come no doubt more favorable weather for road building. Since last fall there has been no weather when work could be done to any advantage. With two big highways under construc- tion the work will speed up as to wea- ther opens and midsummer will no doubt find the greatest activity we have ever seen in this section. We believe that next winter will find us with some real roads.

NAVY LIBRARY WORTH VISIT
Apartment in States, War and Navy Building at Washington Should
 Appeal to Tourists.

The navy library, in the state, war Ind navy building. is lovely place to soak up atmosphere. Like the build. ing itself, it is thirtythree years old When it was built England. France, Spain and Italy presented the marbles of porphyry, sienna and malachite with which the walls are paneled. Mexico sent the pieces of onyx which encrust the gallery. The round stone over the door came from the ruins of Pompeii. The connoisseur in marble who visits Washington will enjoy call here.
 In the center of the large room, lined with shelves of weighty tonnes on na- val matters. there is large and im- portant green-topped table. Around this table sat the strategic board Of the Spanish-American war. Here also the naval advisory board for the great war made their secret plans and ex- periments. Edison. Maxim. Miller and many others conferred over it. with the windows carefully darkened and guard before the door.
 There is quaint side to the library, too. A little white-haired lady can be seen any time. fitting about the shelves of dark, heavy books. or cut ting and pasting busily in her corner by the window. This is Miss Mason, daughter of former secretary of the navy. She has been in the library 26 years. If you happen in near noon she may give you a cup of tea on one corner of her desk.
 And of all charming places to have an unexpected cup of tea, with sweet little lady, this quiet nook among the books is recommended.

TOO BUSY FOR POLITICS
SOlOns are Too Busy to Gossip About
 Politics, but Talk is Being Done.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-(Special)-Th lawmakers have been too busy the past week to pay much attention the politics. Most of them have been bus fly engaged in keeping their own re- cords straight and have had little time to give to consideration of the ambi- tiOns of others.
 There have been no new deyelop- ments in the last two days in the com plicated race for governor or in any of the other state offices. A score or more of prospective, receptive and re- mote aspirants for governor have been circulating among the solons, feeling l out the situation and expectantly | awaiting the lightning to strike. So | far, the result of this watchful waiting has not been announced by any of the candidates, and no withdrawals have yet relieved the ver-burdened guber- national list of entrances.
 l There are at least ten. who still in sist that they are positively in the race
 to stay and that they are confident of success.
 l The refusal of the governor and the
 General Assembly in approving his course, to change the date of the state
 primary from August to May has been responsible for this political apathy,
 Apathy? There is none on the part tof the numerous candidates for office but many of them find it difficult to en- thuse the people, There has not been 1 a situation exactly comparable to this
 in the history of Arkansas, at least, for
 many years, and the people generally
 are simply waiting to see what time
 any personal ambition will devolope,

Paul Phillips, Jr.

Paul Phillips, Jr., son of Dr. Paul H. and Elizabeth Millwee Phillips; grand son of MT. and Mrs. A. B, Phillips and Mir. and Mrs, w. w. Millwee, died Fri day, January 18th, 1920.
 Paul, Jr. was born in April, 1908, and for twelve years was the darling of home made bright by his presence, and now for time, made desolate by his going away,
 AS a dear babe he grew into the hearts of many who were happily as- sociated with him, and who loved him on through the brief years of his boy ish youth. He was so sunny and sweet. so altogether lovable, that his companions in play, and at school were devoted to him, and the example of his joy in life, his patience, his fortitude in pain, won for him friendship among those who were older.
 Rarely indeed has child so blessed a whole community with his young life He will be sadly missed the sympathy of all the town goes out to the be- reaved family. Like on bright fra grant blossom among the beautiful flowers which covered his grave, he lived little while in the beauty of a God-given grace and sweetness,
 Like the lingering notes of loved song, his voice was in our hearts and his name was on our lips little while He has gone to sleep where Angels keep watch. We shall not soon for get him. Pearl Orton"
