Mud Pie Census.

Doctor Russell, who tells us that in
a spoonful of good arabic land there
are more living organisms than there
are people in the United Kingdom,
has probably not wasted his time
making an accurate count, but there
is no doubt he is well within the mark,
observes the London Chronicle.
A French bacteriOlogist recently
.aught his little son playing with a
mud pie, and, borrowing small por-
ton of the mixture, carefully analysed
it in his laboratory. He found 1t
teeming with microbes, but only took
a census of the harmful varieties.
He found when he had finished his
labor that the little bit of the pie"
he dealt with contained the following
ssssas: Dsphtbsria, 1896, 600; aeasies
2.45OOOO; smallpox, 100000; lockjaw,
100000; dysentery, 100000; pneu-
monia. 505,OO0; tuberculosis, 100000
And the total of nearly IL million was
only a percentage of the organisms in
the delicacy.

The gay holiday season is over;
our young people have returned to
work or school, and the village has
settled down to it's normal quiet
ways. On Saturday night, to close
the year, the young people presented
the play, Excuse Me-" in the town

dince. There was not dull moment
from the rising of the curtain on the
first scene to it's close, and each
character was so leverly portrayed
that it is not possible to single out
any for special mention. A very
satisfactory amour twas received
from the sale of seats for this play,
and will be devoted to renewing fur
nishings in the hall. A social dance
was enjoyed after the play, until the
ringing of the church bells proclaim
ed the midnight hour, ushering in
the Sabbath and the new year.
A gay little supper party, honor
ing Miss Elinor Eames, was given at
the Lake View Thursday evening
prior to rehearsal for the play, the
guests returning later OF finish up
the evening with an informal good
time.

THE CARE OF GRAY HAIR
(Contirnei from CoInmr Fo.rl


Just as the body gets out Of condition
and when this happens what they both
require is some good tonic suited 10
their different needs. MANY tonics
that are excellent for brown or black
hair will stain gray or white hair. and
so cannot be used by the elderly
woman, but there are certain prepara-
tions put up solely for her use that
will bring excellent results. When the
hair is very dry use a little white
vasclinc or white castor oil In connec-
ton with some good tonic To apply
u properly the hair should be parted
az close intervals and the grease thor
oughly rubbed into the scalp with the
finger tips If this is done carefully
the scalp is nourished and the hair
shows no trace Of grcasiness. Every
other night is often enough for this
treatment

always arrange their hair in the way
that is best suited to their type Of
features.
Wavy hair, especially about the
face, is always prettier than straight
hair. Il is best not TO use a hot iron
on gray or white hair as it makes Il
brittle, and il used too hot will turn
the hair yellow. Such hair can be
easily waved by doing il up for a few
hours on erimping pins.

THE CARE OF GRAY HAIR

Silver-gray hair Is more beautiful than
any other color, even when the face IS
youthful-however many women may
think conirariwise - but il is a little
more difficult TO keep looking well for
the reason that Il shows dust and CRIME
more quickly than hair Of darker color.
Gray hair. therefore, should be sham
pooed once in six weeks in the country,
and once a month or even oftener in
city where there is a good deal Of dust
and smoke
The very best hair specialists recon-
mend shaved white soap for a shampoo,
in the proportion Of one-third OF a cake
cut thin 10 two cups Of boiling water,
dissolved and allowed 10 cool 10 blood
heat This should be rubbed all over the
scalp by dipping a small nail-brush with
rather soft bristlcs in the mixture, and
parting the hair here and there with the
fingers, and scrubbing the scalp. Then
dip the whole head in a bowl OF soapy
water and rub the hair between the palms
OF the hands. Rinse copiously until the
hair is entirely free from soap. A bath
spray. the short hose with sprinkler noz-
zle used for a shower bath, is excellent
for the purpose, but the effect can also
be achieved by pourinR water from a

DANGER OF BOIL WEENlL
Situation More Serious Than in 1921
 Says County Agent Sargent.

Little Rock, March 12.-There ap- pears to be gerater danger in PULASKI county from the boil weevil this year than there was last year, it was sald by County Agent J. W. Sargent in statement prepared for the Agrlcul tural Committee of the Pulaski county Quorum Court yesterday. MT. Sarg- ent said that conditions during the past fall and winter have been partlc- ularly favorable for carrying over an unusually large number of weevlls in vigorous condition.
 In his report MT. Sargent said that he is making every possible effort to
 get this information to Pulaski coun- ty farmers.
 "The common-sense way of raising cotton under boil weevil conditions IS to cut the cotton acreage to half the usual amount" he said, ito use good seed, to put the land in good condl- tion. to drain the field and to cultl- yate frequently
 He reported that he is calling at 1 tnntion of farmers to the fact that instead of attempting to raise b to 20 acres of cotton to the mule, the amount should be reduced to seven and one-half acres per mule or at the most not more than 10 acres. Unless this is done he said there is grave danger that the boil weeyil will get the cotton.
 Growers who raise cotton success fully in districts that are seriously infested with boil wcevil will find that they are certain to get more cotton | from seven and one-half acres to the mule if the land is worked intensive ly than they will get from 15 to 20 acres cultivated in the ordinary way, said his report When the boil wee vii infestation is likely to be heavy an approved variety of early cotton
 should be planted early in the season
 there should be ditches that will keeI the land we'll drained and the soil
 warm. The land should be better
 prepared-much better than usual
 and should be properly fertilized. Gull
 tivation should be intcnsive-once g
 week or every ten days-and shallow
 The farmer should do whatever is
 necessary to get a quick, vigorous
 early start. They should try to keeI
 up a rapid growth and to make the
 plant fruit early
 MT. Sargent urged the committed
 members to provide means that
 would make it possible for him t(
 carry on an active campaign for beat
 ing the boil weevil in Pulaski county

 Editor of the News: We thank you in advance and assure you of our appreciation for space in the columns of your valuable paper that We may, in some measure, express our deep gratitude to the good people of Ash down for the sympathy and friend- ship shown us in the death of our beloved son, Herman Brown. We would consider it rare privilege, to take each one by the hand and convey to them personally, the feeling in our hearts if it were possible, but since we cannot do this, We desire, in a public way, to tell them of our love and of our gratitude for this splendid manifestation of friendship and con- fidence, so freely by them. The con- sideration shown by the different or ders of which he was member, the rare floral offerings from many good friends, and the great kindness and courtesy so freely given by one and all, have made Us proud to know that our boy, in beginning his life as a man, chose such a place for his home. l Tn this hour of sorrow, We have the sweet assurance that he lived in hon. or, in truth and in loyalty and service to others. May the good Lord bless you all and give you happiness and peace.
