The writing is out of the Successful
Farmer:
"A mule driver in a mine is paid
1924 a day for leading a mule. The
only preparation the driver needs is
a good pair Of legs, a supply OF
words used in mule-driving, and
knowledge enough to lead the mule
back and forth in the mine.
A teacher leads forty pupils every
day for $50 days. For this service
she receives from SO to IS a day and
lots OF times less. She is expected
to spend money and years in pre-
paration; she must have a sweet
disposition and be patient to the
limit; she must wear good clothes,
pay her bills and set a good example
to society; and woe be unto the
teacher who neglects n of these
Virtues" The solution Of the follow
ng problem inspired by the contrast
b solicited: If it is worth $5.24 per

mule Is worth how much more to

Fashions in woman's wear for the
last 1900 years. from the abundant
robes Of the Roman patrician to the
abbreviated skirts Of today, are rep
resented on 1856 dolls, dressed by Mrs.

was begun on the unique collection
of manneQuins more than six years
ago. after months of study of au
thenticated prints portraying styles
of different periods. 1t is said to

has a place in the fashion review,
but merely as an example of how
clothes make the woman.
One of the most interesting cos
tunes is that of a f1sherwoman from
the Firth of Forth. Tailored suits
and peek-a boo waists have had no
effect on the lusty Scots. who live on
that arm of the sea, for their dress
standard has remained unchanged
for 500 years.
Shifts in American styles are illus
trated by eight waxen faced beauties,
starting with the street gown Of
1850. In this display are an after
noon frock Of 1857, a calling costume
of 1869, ball gowns Of 1850 and spring
wear of 1869. The operagoer of
1910 stands haughtily erect in the
extremely tight skirt of that year.

WILL BEAUTIFY
 WHITE OAK NOW
Cemetery Association Legally Organ ized by Election of Directorate and Officers-CIeanup Days Will Be
 First Move.

The meeting held at the courthouse Tuesday night for the purpose of or ganizing White Oak Cemetery Asso- citation was not largely attended, but those present organized a permanent cemetery organization which is now ready to handle any matter of busi- ness pertaining to this incorporation. Articles of incorporation had been pre- pared by Minor Pipkin and according to the requirements of these articles, corporation was formed and board of five directors chosen. Those direc- tors are Mrs. Mary B. Wigstrand, Mrs. James Cunningham, Mrs. J. L. Hagan, Mrs. G. B. Dennis and Mrs. Minor Pipkin. Officers on this board were chosen as follows: President, Mrs. Mary B. Wigstrand; vice presi- dent, Mrs. James Cunningham; sec retary, Mrs. Minor Pipkin; treasurer, Clyde Cunningham.
 Anyone who wishes to do so may become a member of this organiza- tions upon application to the secre- tary.
 As a first step toward beautifying of the cemetery, it was agreed that we have two or three clean up days as early as possible Elder D. J. Sossa- mon, Mena's veteran cemetery man, was present and when asked to do SO, consented to act as foreman of this cleaning work. April 7th was chosen as the first of these cleaning days, and Elder Sossamon, after looking over the cemetery will tell us what
 tools to bring. Everyone is expected to bring lunch and come prepared to
 work. All who feel disposed to do so,
 are invited to help with this cleaning,
 and all who have graves of friends or
 relatives there will be expected to as- sist.
 The work at White Oak cemetery
 seems now in fair way to be really l looked after. The opportunity has
 come for which many have been wait
 ing so long and it is, hoped this move
 ment will meet with the cooperation and assistance of everybody.

PEN PROBE DEAL
 PLAYED BY TERRAL
Former Gubernatorial Candidate Plays Investigating Committee and Re- afiirms Charges Made in Cam
 paign-Repeats Details.

Little Rock. March 17.-Tom J.. Terral, former secretary of stase. who vigorously attacked the State Peni- tentiary Board during his campaign for the gubernatorial nomination last year has issued statement severe ly arraignIng the penitentiary com mittee which investigated the charges and on the last day of the sesslon Iexhonerated the penitentiary commits sioners. MT. Terral's statement fol- lows:
 "It is interesting to read the so- called report published in the press, over the signature of R. R. Townsend senator from the 30th district, re- lating to the investigation of the pen itentiary affairs. It is interesting to note that this report, like many oth- CTS, serves only as a 'whitewash' of the accused. and really accomplished nothing.
 This committee (penitentiary in- vestigating committed issued a sum- mons for me to appear before it on a certain date. l appeared before the committee and was sworn to secrecy not to divulge anything to the public or make a statement regarding my testimony before the committee. This oath was a blind in order to permit the committee to give out the kind of a report that it saw fit, without be- ing hampered by the testimony given at the investigation.
 "I now desire to state, for the bene- fit of the public, the substance of the testimony l gave at that mock in- vestigation' l testified, and want to reiterate my statements here, that certain prominent politicians and state officials were politically power ful enough to reach into the state penitentiary and command the serv- ices of as many negro men and women as servants for their homes and resi- dences as they desired. l named sew eral persons who had such servants, and desire to name them her as fol- lows:
 "Hamilton Moses, John Carter, for mer secretaries to the former gov ernor; Walter Hollingsworth, who sent one to the home of his parents in Calhoun county, and John McQuis- ton, -penitentiary commissioner, who furnished his daughter with a servant while she was attending a commercial college at Pine Bluff. also called attention to the fact that certain state official. now in office, had such a servant. These statements have never been denied so far as the published report shows, yet this MT. Townsend says that nothing found that could be classed as dishonest mistake.
