HOW TO CLEAN A
DIRTY COAT COLLAR
Very often the col Ira* of a
coat begins to look shabby j
when the coat is in good order,
and it is wonderful wh it a dif
ferent- a thorough cleaning1
will make. First take a piece
of clean cloth and dip it in
spirits of turpentine and rub
the collar thoroughly with it.
Leave it for ten minutes, then
rub it again with the turpen
tine and scrape it carefully to
remove any loose dirt. Next
sponge thF collar w th a little
alcohol and k ep w iping it un
til it is dry. Hang it up in an
airy place for an hour or two
and it will look as good as
new.— Host on 11 era Id.

Bcttcn Taitmina Hints
BY W. C. LASSETER
SAFETY FIRST
Begin right now to plan for
—and when th weather ad
mits to prepare for—a good
garden. There’s no use living
on the farm, anyway, if one
cannot have an abundance of
frt' h vegetables to eat. As for
fruit, if you have no trees or
vines or bushes growing now,
you can’t get fruit this year.
You still have plenty of time
to set out some of these things,
however, and be prepared for
better living another year.
When it comes to bread and
meat and feed for the live
stock, the one safe plan is to
raise just as much as possible
of it, at home.
This suggestion, applicable
to farmers everywhere, is es
pecially commended to read
ers who may be tempted to
plant a b;g cotton crop this
\ ear and lei other things go.
To provide a living at home
is -at t\ whatever the weather
jor the war may be or do; to
iisk getting a living from high
priced cotton is a gamble any
car and doubly a gamble this
year.
Just so you will not forget
it, we say it one time more:
You will be missing much of
the pleasure and much of the
profit of farming this year if
on do not raise most of your
living at home. jdilk and but
ler. chickens and eggs, lard
and bacon, fruit and vegetables
these things are an essential
part of the best farming.
GIVE THE CHILDREN A
SQUARE DEAL
In Arkansas-’ fifteen rural
school districts had no school
at all in 1916; eight had one
month only; sixty, two months;
577, three months. Most of the
town and city schools in Ark
ansas run eight or nyiemonths:
hut the average country child
gets less than five months.
The same is true of the coun
ry child in North or South
Carolina, while the Florida
child has a little* more—100
days.
1 he average length of the
term in the city schools of
Tennessee is 170 days; in the
country high schools, 165 days;
n the rural elementary schools
1 OS days. The country child in
the lower grades gets three
months less schooling than the
town child in the same
grades. In some counties he
fares much worse.
Are we giving our children
a fair chance in life?
It is evident that we are not.
We are not giving most of them

WHY POULTRY IS A
FAILURE
The trouble with the poultry
I business is that most people
j entering this industry expect
too much. The poultry busi
ness is not a get-rich-quick
business, and the business end
of it is much like any other
business. Most people think
that all there is to the poultry
business is to buy a few hens,
turn them into the back yard,
throw a shovel full of grain to
them occasionally, then sit
down until evening, go out and
gather up an egg for every hen
and in a short time you have
made your fortune. These are
the people you hear aboutfmak
ing a failure of the poultry
business.
Mothers have a beautiful
way of forgetting the bad and
remembering the good in their
own children. The truest moth
er is the one who extends this
feeling to the children of oth
ers.
If mankind had not been
endowed with curiosity there
would never have been much
progress.
How about the boy and girl
this year? Have you planned
any way for them to earn a bit
of money for themselves as
they go along? If not,'you had
better put your planner to
work.
There are some poultry
houses wlv'ch can be smelled
a mile. The hens that stay in
them sjeldom lay eggs.
DON’T TRY TO DRAW
FIRE OUT OF A BURN
The very common practice
of holding1 a burn before the
fire “to draw the heat out of
it” is as foolish as it is painful,
says a bulletin just issued by
the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau
in which the proper treatments
for burns, mild or serious, are
given.
The directions are not de
signed to take the place of
treatment by a physician.
For a burn affecting only the
external or horny layer of skin
a good household remedy is a
teaspoonful of soda in a pint of
water. Soak cotton in the mix
ture and apply. Air should be
kept away from a bum. A
coating of sweet oil is good.
Some mothers use potatoscrap
ings for the same purpose.
Any burn even though it on
ly reddens the skin, if it affects
a large area of the surface of
the body is dangerous,through
the shock it occasions. While a
physician is on the way the
burned area should be protect
ed from air. Such burns as
these usually result from gas
or gasoline explosions.
Clothing over blistered skin
should be removed with great
care so as not to break the
blister. Afterward the blister
should be pricked with a clean
needle, near the edge of the
blister and the dead skin which
formed it should be protected
until new skin forms under
neath. Put carron oil on such
burns. Soak rags or cotton in
the oil and place on the burns.
Carron oil named from thelCar
ron Iron works of Scotland
where it was first used to
dress the injuries of workmen,
is made of limevvater and lin
seed oil in equal parts.

A New National Hymn
My country, ’tis of thee,
Land where things used to tre
So cheap we sing.
Land where folks once could
buy
Things that are now so high
To thee, with many a sigh,
Our memories cling.
Some of th,r children swear
1 hat what they eat and wear
Takes all their wad.
Others avow that they
Eat only once a day
And for it cannot pay,
So help them God.
Thy people humbly crave
To pull from out the grave
At least one leg.
We do not ask to dine
On flesh of beet and swine,
But give us, Lord Divine,
One good fresh egg.
Our Father’s land, with thee,
Blest home of liberty,
We choose to stop;
We don’t exactly like
So soon to henceward hike;
But we must hit the pike
If things don’t drop.

Truman Cooperage Co., of Tru
man, 12 miles north of Marked
Tree, suffered the loss of prob
ably $125,000 today in a fire
which still was raging at a late

time the entire town was en-1
dangered. As a result of the
blaze 400 employes, represent
ing a weekly payroll of $3,000,

the plant, also burning four
Frisco box cars on a sidetrack.1
The Truman plant is owned

ent, says that the loss is fully

HOUSES AT NEWPORT
Newport, Feb. 3.—During
a high wind Thursday morning
five small houses in the west
ern part of town were destroy

work of the fire department
extremely difficult. Parts of
the flaming shingles from the
burning buildings were carried
three blocks away, where the
roof of S. R. Phillips’ residence

work extinguished the flames
before any serious damage
was done.

the factory district, occupied
by mill hands, who lost part
of their household goods,owing
