Some Pointers on
Use of Wall Paper

In decorating your downstairs
rooms, particularly those opening off
each other, colors should be arranged
SO that 1t Is easy to look from one
room TO another 1t Is unnecessary to
go TO the extreme Of using the same
paper throughout the three rooms. An
interesting and attractive scheme can
be worked. out with a change and va
riety both in color and design.
For example, If the hall is a warm
gray tone with generous sized but
softened figure, the living room might
well be done in soft brown In one
Of the new, indistinct patterns. II
the dining room has warm, southern
light, 1t might take a combination OF
blue and brown treatment In a large.
handsome pattern which would lend
an air Of subdued dignity. Dining
rooms should not have frivolous or
eccentric treatment. Using a harmo,
NOUS scheme of this type you can
easily step from one room to another
and the color transition will be In per-
feet harmony IL the colOrs ir your
rugs, upholstery, ETC., find their echo
in the color tones of your wall papers.
Allowance should be made for arti-
fetal light. Greens and reds have a
tendency to absorb artificial light and
do not light up we'll Grays, browns
and blues change very little under ar
tificial light with the exception OF blue
which becomes a trifie darker. Null
berry shades lose little of their
strength but retain their tone under
the ordinary artificial light.

plumbing installation, and 1t pays to
use good pipe
The cost Of installing a water sup
ply plumbing system is increased little
by employing brass pipe which does
not rust, instead of ordinary pipe
In the matter Of hardware and,
lighting fixtures, you need more than
wear-you want good looks, too. Like
rugs and wall paper, hardware and
lighting fixtures add finish to your
home. Corrodible metal, If used in
their construction, is subject to pitt
ting and soaring and they fail to re-
tain their attractiyeness and give long
wear.

Spray for Currants

To control aphids on currants pre-
pare a spray by dissolving a one-inch
cube of laundry soap In a gallon of
water In which is mixed teaspoon
ful Of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate.
Apply this as soon as the leaves are
unfolded and see that the undersides
of all the leaves are thoroughly wet
with the spray. Do not wait until the
currant leaves start curling and turn
ing red before you think they should
be sprayed. Apply the spray early and
then again in about ten days or two
weeks.

Collections Finished

W. II. Perrin, sheriff and collector,
has finished collecting and, since the
time limit has expired, the list of lands
on which taxes remain unpaid is being
published this week. There is a total
of 366 parcels being advertised for
sale, seven tracts less than last year.
We have learned that, while wait
ing for land sale day. Mr.. Perrin and
K. c. Stubblefield, his chief deputy,
expect to be out of the Office practically
all of the time taking care of the work
of the sheriffs Office. For the next 80
days they will spent most of the time
outside busily engaged doing sherlff's
work, getting ready for the July term
of court.
Mr.. Perrin has often stated that
he was not willing to turn all the
sheriffs work over to his deputies and
that when the sheriff was called for
he would be there.

DALTON GETS TOP
PRICES FOR CATTLE

f. Dalton. the well-known Aberdeen
Angus breeder and planter of Ran
dolph county, Ark, was here today
with 80 head of his bonnie blacks"
that averaged 1105 pounds and sold TO
the killers at $3.50 per cwt, equalng
the markets top on steers.
"The cattle were of my own raising
and feeding" Mr.. Dalton stated. 81
fed them ration of corn, meal and
hay. As far as l can judge the cot
ton acreage in my locality has been
cut around Is per cent this season.
The decline in prices partly caused
this. Then, too, the bankers are in
clined to limit extension of credit to
straight cotton growers and encourage
them to devote part of the land to
feed crops. In the long run this will
be good policy"
About this time last year Mr.. Dal-
ton topped the market with his Angus
cattle. His achievement shows that
Arkansas beeves can sell right along
with the best from any state when they
have the quality and finish.-St. Louis

Warm Springs, Shipper and New

Fairview, Springhill and Wyatt, 5
mills.
There are several interesting fea-
lures to be seen in this report. OF the
seventy districts reporting, fifty-One
voted the maximum tax. Palestine
voted twenty mills. OF course only
twelve mills can be collected as this
is the Constitutional limit This shows
the need for Amendment No. 13.
All the districts in Black river bot
toms voted ~ mills. All Of the special
districts except Engelberg voted ~
mills All of the consolidated districts
voted ~ mills except Consolidated
No. 3.
A good way to judge the interest
that district may have in education
is to observe the tax that district has
voted.
AS soon as complete returns of the
election have been received. the re-
suits will be given to the Star Herald
for publication. Respectfully.
