decorative use by A. j. Bame of New
York city in the making of a mosaic
22h by 2S1s inches. The original
would have value Of $4,000 if 1t
were made from good bills.
More than two thousand pieces are
contained in the design, and Mr.. Bame
put into the task all his spare time
extending over period of ten months.
Each piece of the mosaic had to be
ironed out and cut with small scis-
sors. Many of the pieces were so
small that they had to be held by a
pair of tweeZers in order to cut them
The very lifelike eye of the eagle
was made from the figure with the
bottom cut off while the beak was
from the yellow back of 500 bill.
The little designs found on So bills
were used for the feathers in the
eagles head, and the neck feathers
came out of 50 bills.
The red and blue stripes In the
shield were obtained from the col

stripes and the stars were simply a
background Of white paper, the stars
having been cut out with a penknife.

Some queer citizens of London have
been brought to light by London
periodical. After living for 60 years
in one room in Upper Berkeley street,
Edward Mott has had to move out. He
mad never been in a train, tram or
motor vehicle. But there is another
man even stranger. He has spent the
last seven years In bed in a hotel. He
rises to have a wash now and then.
Nobody knows who he is. He pays
his bills regularly. and takes his food
i'm his room. And there is not a thing
wrong with him. There is another
recluse who lives at the Savoy. He
does not stay in bed, but he has not
left his room for two years. and
spends his time reading and painting.
No one knows why. And over in Brix-
ton there is house in which an old
man lives whom the neighbors have
never seen. He orders his. food by
telephone and even the postman must
leave his letters on the step.

years ago he was welcomed as the
first American to set foot in the
country.
Yet Liechtenstein, small as 1t is, is
larger than the oft visited Monaco
or the much written about Marino.
It's peasants are simple, sturdy,
shrewd folk, intensely proud Of their
bright stone of the Alps" There are
gtod schools, even to kindergartens,
and the abundant water power makes
electricity available to the humblest
residents of Vaduz or the smaller
towns.
Cattle raising and agriculture are
two industries. The stalwart men
are not to be misjudged by the fact
that nearly all of them wear earrings,
custom which probably found its
way up from Italy.
The people of Liechtenstein speak
German, but it is German bereft Of
much Of it's harshness and containing
many romance words. Only very
few of the ten thousand inhabitants
are more than moderately well-to-do.
There are scare 'ly any servants.
Most of the members of parliament
saw their own wood and do their own
Chores" Hardly ever is an INDECENT
person seen, and crime Is reduced to a
minimum.
Farms In the Rhine Valley.
Most of the villages of Liechten-
stein, well built and scrupulously
clean, are to be found in the Rhine
valley. On the valley floor are farms
and gardens and meadows, while up
the hillsides extend vineyards and
orchards and pasture lands. Farther
back rise the Liechtenstein Alps from
whose slopes and peaks one may sur
vey nearly the whole of the little
prlncipaIity and look far off into
Switzerland to the west.
In the matter Of governmental ma
chinery little Liechtenstein is COM
pletely fitted out with nearly up-to-
the-minute model. OF the fifteen
members of parliament the prince
names three and the remainder are
elected. In the election every man
over twenty-four years of age votes
and proportional representation is
practiced A governor sits as the
princes representative and about him
is grouped his little cabinet whose
members bear such high sounding
names as secretary of state, chancel-
Tor of the exchequer, chief justice,
ctota augipanr opd-amippntlv fitting
in mountainous L'echtenstein-di-
rector of forests. And as last word
in modern government, their council
chamber is fitted up with a long-dis-
lance telephone so that their monarch
can sit i'm Vienna, or Munich, or Ber-
lin, or Paris, and still have prince
ly finger In the political pie.

SMALLPOX QUARANTINE
 AGAINST OKLA. TOWNS
AshdOwn City Health Officer Served Notice on Railroads Thurs
 day Morning.

Dr. P. H. Phillips, city health off, cer for Ashdown on Thursday served legal notice on all railroad companies entering Ashdown placing ban upon unloading passengers here from any town in LeFlore county, Oklahoma, and the towns of Heavener, Poteau Salisaw and Ft Smith, Arkansas, or any other town against which a quar- antine has been placed. Dr. Phillips issues the following notice:
 "I have this day served legal notice on all railroads entering Ashdown that a quarantine has been instituted against Heavener, Poteau, Salisaw and all other towns in LeFlore county. Oklahoma, and also Ft. Smith, Arkan- sas, and will require a health certifi- cate of recent vaccination from all persons from these infected districts stopping at Ashdown." Signed and dated Thursday, January 12
 This is taken as a precautionary measure. The epidemic is said to be in most dangerous form and is call ed black smallpox, and was one time known as the black plague. In one Oklahoma town there were 13 deaths out of 15 cases. Wednesday, It. Smith placed ban on any Frisco train stop ping within the city limits or enter ing the passenger station. This dras- tic action was taken on account of Frisco officials failing to take notice and give their assurance that passen- gers would be required to show health certificates,
 While there is no cause for alarm in Ashdown, prudence and precauIion when an epidemic is theratened, should always be exercised, before stray slips in and spreads the epi- demic here The state health officer has asked the surgeon general to compel the railroads to obey the order of the health department.

A campaign will be started immedi- ately, under direction of Dr. Bradford Knapp, dean of the College of Agri- culture, University of Arkansas, through the Agricultural Extension Service of the university, urging farm CTS to comply with the recommenda- tions. The campaign, according to M. T. Payne, director of the extension service, will reach every county through the county agents.
 The attendance, which was estimat- ed at about 100 farmers and bankers, was not as large as was expected, but was declared by Dr. Knapp to be rep resentative of all sections of the state. While the attendance was small,' pr. Knapp said, '"it represented well, not only the different sections of the state, but the sentiment of the farmers of those sertions. I anticipate little trouble in inducing the farmers to live up to the recommendations made.'
 The recommendations were drafted by committee of farmers represent ing the various sections of the state and adopted unanimously by the meet ing. The committee was composed of Dean Knapp, chairman; M. M. Rhther- ford Independence cohnty; M. B.. Hare, Woodrug cohnty; S. M. Craw- ford, Clark cornty; H. E. Fenton, Se- vier county; George L.

Parent and Sons Day
 in Circuit Court

The Parent and Sons Day in circuit court was held Tuesday afternoon and was one of the best yet held. It has become an established feature of Judge Steeps courts, and on these occasions the boys, under age, who have been convicted and parolled dur ing good behavior, are required to be present. The program was made up of talks by prominent speakers. J. l.. Wadley, editor of the Texarkanian made a splendid address, which has caused much favorable comment. The court room was packed.
 Following is report of the pro- gram which appeared in the Texar- kanian:
 Texarkana, Jan. 12.-The editor of the Texarkanian addressed citizen audience at Ashdown Tuesday after noon that taxed the capacity of the court house. The occasion was "Fa- ther and on's Day" in the Little River Circuit court over which Judge James s. Steel presides and who invited the speaker to deliver the principle ad- dress of the hour.
 The citizens seemed to have enter ed into the spirit of this movement with warm interest, as there was great attendance of people, including students of the public schools, with their teachers. The two hours pro gram was inspiring, and gave hope of uplift in moral and social life.
 Strong and stirring speeches were also made by Hon. A. D. DuLaney, prosecuting attorney, MT. Mills, deputy prosecuting attorney, and Prof. Wheelis, county superintendent of public schools. Judge Steel closed the discussion with powerful and inspirational appeal to the parents and young people for higher moral stand ards of life and a stabler citizenship.
 This is a happy innovation intro duced by the judge in his district An other innovation, and one we'll worth while for other courts to follow, is that in many cases where boys of tender years are convicted in his court, it the boy has promise of refor- nation, to release him on probation sort of suspended sentence-put him on his good behavior, with an appeal to his better nature, requiring him to report periodically to the court for six months or a year. The judge cited many instances where boys, over- taken in fault through indiscretion, had come to themselves,' and were exemplary in conduct, headed for good citizenship,
 Throughout his district, Judge Steel sets apart one afternoon in each coun- | ty during circuit court once a year fer Father and Sons Day with ad- dresses by prominent men on lines of moral and social ideals. The people like it and respond always with a wonderful cooperation
