WIDOW IS GIVEN
 WAR INSURANCE

That Mrs. Nell Cartwright, widow of Luster Cartwright, who was the first member of the American army from Faulkner county to fall in bat tie in the world war, will receive the proceeds of the $5,000 insurance pol icy carried by Cartwright with the bureau of war risk insurance is the effect of the decision rendered yes terday by Judge Archie House, of the Pulaski circuit court.
 Young Cartwright, who was a member of well-known family re- siding at Otto, in the eastern part of Faulkner county, was among the first soldiers to be sent from this county. Shortly after his induction into the army and prior to his mar riage he took out S5,000 policy of insurance payable at his death to his father, J. F. Cartwright, and had made no change in the beneficiary at the time of his death. His widow, who was formerly Miss Nell Thorn ton, contended that letter which he wrote her after their marriage in which he stated that the insurance would go to her in case of his death amounted to a will. Her contentious were sustained by Probate Judge E. L. Smith, who allowed the letter to be probated as will, and J. F. Cart wright appealed from Judge Smiths decision to circuit court. The case was tried before Judge House, who presides over the Third division of the Pulaski circuit court, by consent of both parties.

Philadelphia, April 19.-Abraham hit a screaming triple with three men on bases Tuesday and broke up ball game which Ouachita won from Hen drix by 1 to ?. Day Campbell pitched the Tigers to victory, always beng steady. Of the six scattered hits oft his delivery. two were scratches. He famed six Bulldogs, all in the pinch es. Melton puzzled the Tigers with his slow ball until the late innings. Until the seventh inning all the Tl- gers efforts were slow rollers or easy bounders which the Bulldogs tielded with ease.
 Hendrix apparently won tke game in the fifth when two runs were made Hawley's single and base on balls to Schisler. Slade's error on Lem ing's grounder, filled the bases and Frisby's bad peg to get Moore let Hawley score from third. Williams hit one to right which Abraham muf- fed after a long run,, scoring Schl@ler.
 The Ouachita batters came to life in the seventh. Rowland lambasted triple into left field Cooper was safe on an infeld hit that Garner held too long. Cooper stole second. Montgomery walked, filling the bases. Then Abraham hit line drive into left field for three bases, cleaning the sacks.

DON'T CHANGE THE PLAN. :.
!. ......-.-..-..................-.......-.....s.

Editorial in Arkansas Gazette.)
 The Woodrow correspondent of the Conway Log Cabin Democrat says farmers in his community are wor- ried by the rains. He says they had planned their farming operations for this year so that they could "go to their own corn cribs for feed, their smokehouses for meat, their sorghum patches for syrup, their poultry yards for breakfast food, their broom corn patches for brooms, their gourd vines for dippers, their or chards for fruit and their strawber- " patches for spending money" He fears the plans must be changed if the wet weather continues.
 The plans of the Woodrow commu- nity should not be changed. The Ar kansas farming community that adopts them will be a prosperous community. Extending over the en- tire south the plans would solve the problem of the cotton growers. If every cotton grower in the south would plant ample food and feed crops he could plant all the cotton he could cultivate properly and still be safe. He would be much safer if he added some other money crops as the farmers of the Woodrow commu- nity plan to do.

DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:

DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:
I AM a girl of nine. cen and have
L had but one real sweetheart
in my life, a man of twenty six
I have sometimes thought ]
would like to go about with
o.her men to see II l really did
love this man. but he has always
managed OF prevent me doing SO,
until We have become engaged
and the wedding is but a month
off.
Now 1 have found out that he
has lied to me about his age
and is really ihirty-six instead
Of twenty-six. This seems ter
ribly old to me. I guess it ex-
plains why he has not more of
a desire to do the things 1 like
to do, and is so serious-m.nded.
don't want an over serious
life, with no. youthful fun. Yet
I believe I do love this man very
much. Only / wonder IL his
lying to me about his age would
mean he would tell me other
lies about other things after we
were married.
Sometimes 1 find myself long
ing for a chance to have another
romance, so l could really put
this one to the test.
RESTLESS MAE.
When a girl is really in love,
she does not believe" she loves,
she knows. You do not really
love your fiance, and you are try
ing to find an excuse for your
feelings in the age prevarication.
The difference in age is not OF
SO much importance as the differ
ence in temperament. / do not
think you should marry yet.
You are young and should
Hsatisfy your desire for other
friends at least a year, when you
will know for certain whether or
not you really wish to make this
man your husband.

WHAT is LIFE'S
G R E A TIE ST
DESIRE

" DITOR Magazine Page; What
X. does a woman desire most?
~ A woman's desire for atten-
ton is above everything else in
the world.
Those that are fortunate to be
beauties get attention much easier
than those who are only fair
looking.
Therefore, women look their best
because beauty gets attention first.
But a woman doesn't have to be a
beauty to get the most attention.
She gets her attention in the
most natural and easiest way.
Every woman knows what are her
best points. and emphasizes them.
She might have beautiful hair,
pretty eyes. a dimple. a laughing
smile. white teeth. natural COM
plexion. good figure, pretty hands.
nice shoulders, or any one OF a
dozen other notable features.
Every woman has at least one
personal charm.
On the other hand, you will see
charming and beautiful women
doing things to attract atten. Ion
just like women without one
point of beauty. These women
go in for charity and community
work, politics, athletics, business,
music, art.
1t is attention every woman
Graves. and she will get It some
way. That's what makes them
so interesting. The most diff
cult thing to do is to figure out
what kind of attention is desired
and how and when to give it.
