The economical housewife is al
ways trying to make something
new out of old bread crusts.
Most men admire the nonsense
of a pretty woman far more than
they do the sense of a homely one.
One of the easiest ways for a
young man to get married is to tell
a widow he intends to remain a

A gosling never attempts to

If the Initiative and Referendum
act is to accomplish the purpose
for which it is intended every voter
should read carefully all the acts
and amendments submitted so he
cm vote intelligently. Every elec
tion voters come from the polling
places and say they voted against
all acts and amendments, because
they did not know anything about
them where that same voter prob
ably voted for and talked the loud
est for Amendment No. 10 when it
was on the ticket. The law is a
good one if the people will inform
themselves and know before they
enter the polling place just how
they intend to vote, but a bad one
if they will not do this. The acts
and amendments to be voted on
this year are published in this issue
of the News. Read them.
THE STATE BETTER OEF.
It gives honest men a pain to hear
exponents of the liquor traffic try
ing to argue that Arkansas is not
le'ter off without whisky than it
was with it.
Everybody who will acknowledge
the truth knows that from the
standpoint of good order and de
cency, if not of morals, Arkansas
is much better off now than it was
proir to January 1, when prohibi
tion became effective.
V/ithout intoxicants upon which
to spend their money, Arkansans,
in what were the wet towns, are
finding other uses for what they
earn. Their families have more
and better food and clothing, and
the retail merchants have a better
and less credit business. Savings
banks are also feeling the effects
of the prohibition law by increased
accounts and many men who never
had a bank account before have
one now.

The Farmers' Union went on
record against the repeal of the
state-wide prohibition law. And
that despite the fact that the act
by which it is proposed to put sa
loons back into Arkansas, and undo
all the good results during the
years of local option, was initiated
under the direction of Ben L.
Griffin, former state seceretary of
the Union. The Bigelow Press
voices the sentiments of a large
part of the newspapers of state,
when it says, “His advocacy of the
anti-prohibition measure ought to
be enough in itself to kill it.”

The Belfry of Bruges Is probably

possesses a carillon of 48 bells, re
garded as the finest in Europe.

Spanish Rice.
Take n cupful of boiled rice, four
tablespoonfuls of prated cheese,, four
tablespoonfuls of sifted tomato, one
teaspoonful of onion, two tablespoon
fuls of butter, one teuspoonful each of
chutney, mustard and curry powder,
salt and a dash of pepper. Melt the
butter in a Saucepan, put in the onion
and curry and cook for a few minutes.
Add the rice, cheese, tomato pulp, mus
tard and chopped chutney; mix and
beut well together. Season and turn
Into a baking dish. Sprinkle with
browned crumbs and put Into the oven
to heat. Serve very hot with brown
bread and butter.
Raspberries in Snow.
Pour a cupful of cold wuter and a
nipful of sugar over a package of gel
atine, stir until the sugar Is dissolved,
nnd let stand until stiff. Add a cup
ful of boiling water and the Juice of
two lemons. Beut the whites of four
eggs until frothy, add to the gelatine
nnd continue to beut until white, when
It is ready to set; fold In a pint of
ripe berries, pour into a mold and set
nway to hnrden. Serve cold with
whipped cream.
Frozen Dainties.
Even a cupful of fruit juice may be
combined with a little orange or lem
on juice, some cream and sugar, and
when frozen make a most delicious
dessert for a hot day. Grape juice,
one cupful, a tnblespoonful of lemon
Juice to make the color more brilliant,
nnd sugar to taste, with a pint of
cream frozen, is the most delightful
Idt of color served in sherbet cups, and
tastes every bit as good as it looks.
Good Thing* for Warm Day*.
Rice lends Itself in many ways to
give us attractive dishes. The sim
plest of these is rice baked with milk.
Two or three tablespoonfuls of rice
added with the same amount of sugar
nnd a little snlt to one or two qunrts
of milk, with or without raisins, and
baked in a slow oven for three or four
hours, mnkes a most satisfying pud
ding, good for little people us well as
their elders.

POULTY POINTERS
Dispose of all the old stock you do
not need. This had best be done now,
while prices are good and before the
annual molt starts.
The feeding of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable influence on the
growth and on lessening the mortality.
It tends to prevent mortality from all
causes, and If fed soon enough and for
a sufficiently long period greatly re
duces the death rate cuused by bacil
lary white diarrhea.
An open-front poultry house Is bet
ter than too much glass, even In our
cold northern climate.
The hot weather is already giving
the plumage a rusty appearance, and
it vvill grow worse from now on until
molting time.
Keep the chicks free from lice; keep
i hem growing, for every little atten
tion tells and brings nearer the cov
eted blue ffbbon.
A splendid mlxtre for laying hens
is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat
and oats, which should be scattered In
the litter.
Be sure to give plenty of water and
see that the chickens, both large and
small, have plenty of green foot!. If
your yards do not have plenty of
grass, try dividing the runs and sow
ing part to rye or rape.
