SUGAR COATED PILLS OF WISDOM

(By AeSOp, Jr.
A sleeping mouse gathers no big

Night is right for "Mice in Coun-
Gill;"
A Waiting mouse that hesitates
near cat is lost.
A mouse in a girls silk stocking
is worse than two in her hand.
Adventure for the mouse may
mean lunch for the cat.
Perhaps we have mice to thank, or
spank, for women's short skirts.
The "Mice in Council should
worry if the proposal to "bell'' the
cat didn't go over. 1t isn't the first
time that a proposal failed to ring"

When a swan calls his sweetie a
little mouse" no wonder she squirms
and sometimes "sQueals." -.
Just because girl wears a mouse
color skirt it doesn't mean that she
won't lift it at the sight Of mouse,
Many a mouse thinks he's the
"cheese" until the trap snaps.
No wonder the ''Mice in Council
accomplished nothing but, talh,
since all the mice came in with thelr

why not let the mice in Coun-

.GETTTMG INTO A PROFITABLE
GAME

An Alaskan gold mining company
is engaged in remodeling it's plant
for the purpose of manufacturing
wood pulp for paper. Profits in gold
production are too meager.
On ore the possible profit is less
than dollar the ton. Profits in
ton. Takes pretty smart gold mine
to beat that.
Times change. The paper indus
try was developed to supply the
printing and publishing industry.
Along with it grew the modest
wrapping paper industry, an admit
ted necessity. Wrapping paper was
largely made from waste and reused
materials, straw, etc. The use of
paper in other lines has increased
until now it is said there are 1900
distinct articles manufactured In
this country from paper. OF this
great output three-fourths of the
raw material must come from the
same source as that of the newspa-
|pers. Box and carton manufacture
ers use three times the material re-
quired for the newspapers.
| Some genius few years ago dis
covered that there was enough
Indian left in the majority Of us to
pay three prices for our food, drugs
etc., if they were packed in gaudy
expensive looking packages.
So the paper situation has come
to be controlled by this big demand
which cares little about the price
While the newspapers struggle fol
their very lives, under present pric'
es, the consumer continues to buy
wasteful packages, and growl about
the high cost of living.
Cheap paper built this well-knowI
republic-nothing else could have
done it. 1t is dangerous to tampel
with the only raw material possible
for the printing and publishing in
terests.
And when we are both numbering
the press and paying needlessly higl
prices for the foolish decoration, 1
1 would seem that the fool-killer i

APPOINTEE SAID TO BE REPt BLi- CAN AND EMPLOYEE OF
 OLIVER COMPANY.

That they will not ratify the appoint ment announced Saturday by Herbert R. Wilson. commissioner of state lands, highways and improvements, of Frank highway engineer to succeed V. F. Knott, were sta tements made last night by J. S Turner of Ozark and k. R. Thompson of Eureka Springs, who, with Mir Wilson, compose the commis- sion.
 The statements were made when Gov ernor McRae expressed his surprise at the announced appointment, and, through his secretary, C. r. Newton, requested information concerning the alter.
 Mr Newtons letter 10 Mir. Turner. almost identical with the letter to ME. Thompson. is as follows:
 "Governor McRae was surprised to note in the press that Il state highway engineer has bee nselected by the state highway commissioner. He has been still further surprised to learn that this individual was, or is, in the employ of the Oliver Construction company and that he is lifelong republican, in his state The governor is not inform cd as to whether you and Mr. Turner have taken the action required under the statute-that of naming the cngin- ger. the power remaining with the com missioner of state lands and highways to reject your selection or approve same Will you kindly advise Governor Me Rae concerning the situation: l write this letter as the suggestion of the gov ernor. Respectfully,

PRESCOTT NEVADA COUNTY, ARKANSAS.
WOLF CAPTURED NEAR MOUTH
 OF TRAMMEL CREEK

The wolf that has terror ized the entire country aronnd Laneburg and Sutton for the past two months was captured this morning at ' o'clock. Ordinary fox hounds would not run this animal Bunk billiard and other we'll known hunters of this coun- ty tried time and again with their packs but failed to cap ture him, so Tom billiard, a former citizen of this county but now of Sulphur Springs, Texas, was notified of this uncatchable varmint roam ing woods of his old stamp ing ground, defying all the dogs of the county and caus- ing many mothers to feel anxious when their children left for school, then it was ee decided to bring his pack of invinceable wolf hounds to Arkansas and bring an end to it all-
 This morning with the following lovers of the chase from Prescott; w. J. White, Lee billiard, Luke Hit, LA. White Alvin Woolsey, Tom Gentry, John Stripling, John Neal, and Jewell Kennedy.
 The drive was started: the dogs soon found the track and in less than fifteen min utes after the wolf was sight ed the famous dogs of Tom Dillard had him at their mercy. Mr. Wolf soon lay a corpse, and was viewed by at least a thousand within a few hours. This monster 0 the woods measured 5 feet 3 inches long and was about 3 feet high. A fine speci- men of the big grey timber wolf. $
 The profound thanks of the entire county and especially the community in which the animal took up his abode, are rendered Mir. Tom Dill lard, who sacrificed so much to come to their rescue. '
 After talking to several friends of Mr. Dillard, who went to considerable eX- pense in bring his hounds here, and being a poor, hard working farmer, we decided that a ''laborer is worthy of his hire" and that this pa. per will receive any small donation as a token of our appreciation of bis services. In other words, we believe that MT. Dillard's expenses eere and return to his home should be paid. MT. billiard knows nothiug about this notice, so if you wish to do- nate, send in or hand in to the Picayune office and it will acknowldge receipt of same and we will be glad

Feminine nudity has lost Its ira
dltional graceful CHARM" observes a
Paris art critic, in describing the nude
figures in the annual exhibition Of the
work of Paris artists. 1t appears
that nearly all of the artists models
were engaged In war work during
the war. and they came back to the
studios with figures developed by
work in munition plants and in hos
pitfalls, railroad stations and the like,
says Louisville Post. "Gone is the
peachbloom skin. now roughened by
winds and hard work. Gone the softly
curving charm of shoulders and arms.
And in the places of these charms
have been developed muscles that
would be The pride of modern ~ath-
Ietic girl" One artist, indeed, tried
to go into the business of painting
Amazons, but 1t appears that the mod
els were tired of talking and thinking
about war" and wished to be painted
in other ways. But this years exhibit
ton is reported to be exceptionally
good, despite this handicap.

Egypt is sure now that she will live
free and will restore her past glory
of the days of the Pharaohs-a fact
she never dreamed of realizing had 1t
not been for the greatness of England,
not by fleets, armies and money, but
by pm principles and high morals.
Egypt must therefore. consider itself
fortunate because It's destiny was in
the hands of England, says FL Watam,
Egypt. We thank England for her
great courage and are grateful to her
for listening TO the claims of the
Egyptian nation. And we can assure
her that this act will make the right
thinking Egyptians only very anxious
to have ties of friendship with her.
