SNAILS MAY Be
USED FOR FOOD

Snails can be eaten. but we beg
to be excused In France and Medi-
terranean countries they are especial
ly popular as a delicacy and are con =
sidered very healthful. In this country
they are not popular, thopgh attempts
have been made to cultivate taste
for them. A less commendable use to
which they are sometimes put in Eu
ropean countries is furnishing of
creamy mucous which, when intro
duced into skim milk. produces a close
imitation of cream. The edible snail
was a favorite article of food among
the ancient Romans. 1t is extensive
ly cultivated in France as a food.

 The raising of a large enough

 The possibility of the complete
 elemination of every of cotton ] in one year.
 The establishment of a perma- nenta cotton. free zone which is large enough to prevent the pos .sibility of the establishment of the cotton boil weevil.
 Ire plan is not considered fea- sible by George E. Becker, Chief Inspector of the Arkansas State Plant Board, who says that it ap- pears to him it would be impossi- ble to produce a 100 per cent non cotton South in one year. He says that he considers the plan 'too stupendous an experiment for the South to undertake in view of the uncertainty of the boil weevils eradication and that nothing short of an assured erad- ication " ,uld warrant such an experiment" "
 Mir. Becker further discusses the proposed plan yf organization in the following suggestion:
 But, given every condition favorable, it is very doubtful in my mind whether cotton could be absolutely eliminated in one year. As thorough as was the clean up in some of the pink boil worm areas in Texas, volunteer cotton was founI in these areas the following year, if 1 am cor rectly informed. Of couise, we would still have the opportunity of chopping out the cotton after 1t had sprouted next year This would be a tremendous task in weedy fields, fence rows and numerous other. places where a little stalk of ibumble bee" cot ton might be hidden.
 The cotton that is raised this year is produced at less cost than for many years and while it will work great hardship upon many individuals. the general re- suit will not be serious on ac- count of the greater price of the crop.

 There have been apparently few instances in the history of the state. where vacancies have occurred in our representation in the Lower House of Congress and it has brought to light some interesting facts with reference to the filling of such vacancies.

A Little Rock lady has been making collection of views of colonial and antebellum homes of Arkansas. One of the most interesting of the collection is a picture of the Albert Pike school house near Van l'uren. The front of the building, which is situated about two miles from Van Buren on Flat Rock Creek, was used as a school room by Albert Pike, the noted Mason, statesman and poet. in 1882. It is built of hand hewn logs, pre- sumably obtained from the sur rounding woods. In later years it was covered with weather boarding. As the country was sparsely settled, General Pike may have also used it as a home. Those who cosld have given the desired information have long since departed. The late Judge Jesse Turner once said. The first time 1 ever saw Albert Pike he was sitting in front of this building reading a newspaper.
 There are a number of histori- cal buildings in Little Rock, one of which is the old Albert Pike residence ou Seventh and Rock Street, which was built for his young wife in 1885. This build- ing consequently became the property of the late Colonel John G. Fletcher and is now occupied as a residence by his daughter. Mrs. David D. Terry.
