Had to Be Masters Of Craft.

Carved and hand made chests side boards, tables, chairs and other an tiques are rightly valued by people of discriminating taste. In the Fifteenth century men were known to have worked eight years or more carving single one of these intricate pieces, fitting the drawers perfectly and bal ancing everything. Certainly any piece of furniture on which those mas terS of tEe cabinetmaker's art spent so much time and thought are worthy of appreciation.
 An apprentice to the art of cab InetmakiuZ commonly worked from three to eight years making his first piece Of furniture Th's work then was passed upon by jurors and if the verdict vas "iHpar'eet,' ,''t was burned before the door of thc maker and he was forbidden to m0h' furniture for sale until he had redeemed himself with an acceptable piece

 'D-d hot day"
 Of course the congregation was thundprStruck. With all his peculiar ities, they had not dreamed of any thing like this. So still was the audi ence that the drop of pin could have been heard. After long time, when the precipitation had been carefully wiped from cheek and brow, he con cluded:

BEFORE MATCHES WERE MADE
Primitive Peoples Had Ingenious Means of Making Fires That An
 swered the Same Purpose.

Two methods of making Are were In use among the aborigines of North America at the time of the discovery The first method consisted of striking spark from flint and pyrites-a hard ore containing usually considerable iron. This method was practiced by the Eskimos and by the Athapasca and Algonquin tribes ranging across the continent from the Pacific coast to Newfoundland and down the Allan tic coast
 The most valued and most effectual method of making fire known to the Indians was that of the reciprocating motion of wood on wood and igniting the ground of particles through heat generated by friction. The simplest method was to whirl rapidly backward and forward wooden rod or drill. The drill turned In a lower piece of wood which may be called the hearth The drill was worked near the border of the hearth, cutting a socket. From the socket a narrow canal was cut In the edge of the hearth, the function of the canal being to collect the pow dered wood ground off by the friction of the drill as within this wood meal the heat rose to the ignition point.

SENDS RESIGNATION ASSTATE SENATOR
GEO. F. HARTJE SENATOR
Conway Legislator Who Made Splen. did Record in Two General As
 semblics Quits Public Life.

George F. Hartje of Conway, state senator from the Twenty Seventh sen- atorial district of Arkansas, con- posed of the counties of Faulkner and White, today forwarded to Gov. T. c. McRae his resignation, effective im- mediately.
 MT. Hartie said there was no par tlcular reason for retiring from the position, further than the duties for which he was elected had been per formed and there was no probability of his being called upon for further service before the expiration of his term. He has accepted the position of local attorney for the Missouri Pa cific railway beginning January 1, and while there would be no conflict be- tween the two position he felt that he should not hold a public office while representing the railroad company.
 There is little probability of the governor appointing successor to him, MT. Hartje said. The appoint ment if made would be purely honor ary unless an emergency should arise which would necessitate the calling of a special session of the legislature before the next general election is held.
 Mr. Hartje is one of the youngest members of the state senate and made splendid record in the regular and special sessions of the 1919 general assembly and the regular 1921 session. It was through his efforts with the assistance of Representative l. M. Campbell, that the highway districts in Faulkner county were created and he deserves much credit for securing legislation for the support of the State Normal School, being the author of the bill which increased the millage tax for that institution from one ninth to one-fifth mill.
 He is also author of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the taxation of personal as well as real property by improvement dis
 
 Governor McRae attempted to veto, but the secretary of state and the attorney general both held that an amendment proposed by the legisa- ture is not subject to q veto oy the governor. Secretary of State Ira c. Hopper recently announced that that he intended to certify the Hartje amendment to be voted upon at the next general election and, while the matter may be contested in the courts it is generally believed his position will be sustained.
 Faulkner county will not again elect state senator until 1926. Under the unwritten agreement between the Democratic organizations of White and Faulkner counties made nearly 50 years ago and never violated, it will be the turn of White county to elect the senator for a four year term in 1922.

DAMASCUS WOMAN'S CLUB.

The ladies of Damascus met on the night of December 19 and organized ladies club under the instruction of Mrs. c. D. Turner, home county agent. Mrs. Turner was with us on December 15 and demonstrated school lunches with many other good things. Those not present that day have been asking about the demonstration and wanting to know when she will be back again. We feel that her visit to Damascus has created quite an in- terest among the people here. We also wish to mention Miss M. E. Gretchen, the Faulkner county nurse, who demonstrated so many important things we need to know and hope that in the near future she may call on us again.
