The most beautiful social affair
of the club year was the meeting of
Englenook club, March 16, in the
spacious home of Mrs. Pat Crane.
The living room and library were
artistically decorated in St. Patrick

ers were used throughout the
house. Each guest wore hats of
green crepe paper, some of which
were decorated with green snakes,
said to be’ of the ones which St.
Patrick drove from Ireland.
Puring several amusing Irish
games and contests, beautiful Irish
selections, both vocal and instru
mental, were played on the victro

the Emerald Isle, gave a witty talk
on St. Patrick’s Day and custome.
Miss Durrett rendered several
beautiful piano selections, which
added much to the pleasant after
noon.
The St. Patrick motif was car
ried out in the dining room. The
i long dining table was beautiful
with its centerpiece of green, and
green candles in cunningly con
trived candle sticks of huge Pish
potatoes. Much merriment was
had over the hand pointed place
.cards in whicn each guest seemed
to find a characteristic resemblance
i to herself. All were asked to kiss
f the Blarney Stone.
The favors were Shamrocks,
combined with tiny» Dudeens or
Ganbeens. A delicious course
: luncheon was served. The hos
tess was ably assisted throughout
the afternoon by Miss Nelle Mc

Difficulty in obtaining railroad
equipment to move lumber to |
Eastern markets is expected to
greatly aid shipbuilding and river
traffic development plans in the
South. The manager of one of the
largest yellow pine mill in Louisi
ana announced recently that his
company was seriously considering
the construction of a fleet of wood
en ships to carry the products of
the mill to their destination. This
company is now receiving only
eight or ten cars a day, whereas its
needs are 65 to 75 cars daily. It
is proposed to use these ships in
both coastwise and Central and
South American trade.
W. E. Clark of Strong was a

Edith, the beloved wife of Claud
Rowland, died at their home in El

the heartfelt sympathy of all in
their great loss.

By F. W. Scott,
Spr”*. and Treas
free Cotton Seed
] have ordered one ton of the
Page cotton seed shipped from the
Page & Hart farm in Jackson
county, to my office in Little Rock,
for the purpose of distribution
among the farmers of the state for
experiment. The seed will be put
up in one-pound packages, and
will be sent out to those who
apply and agree to properly plant
and cultivate and return an equal
amount of well selected seed next
fall, to be distributed to other
farmers. There will be 2,000
packages to be sent in
the order of *-he requests until the
supply is exhausted.
The Page cotton was given the
name by G, W. Norris, who has
been growing it upon the Page &.
Hart farm. It is a little earlier
than the Rowden, makes a sturdy,
well built stalk, well fruited and is
on the big boll type. It has a sta
ple of 1 1.16 to 1 1.18 inch and
gins 36 to 38 per cent lint. It
yields about 30 per cent more lint
to the acre than the Epress and
%
sells for about 20 per cent less per
pound. The cotton holds well in
the bolls, but is not storm proof
It yields well. In 1915 we mad'1
three bales on two acres. In 1916
we made ten bales on ten acres.
On two rows of equal length
standing side by side, one row of
the Page cotton weighed out 1 1 1
pounds, and the other of Express
cotton weighed out 74 pounds of
seed cotton. The seed is pure
with no boll weevil or diseased col
tod of any kind grown on the place.

Print shops are usually on the
mailing lists of the mail order dis
pensers of liquid hilarity, but the
Observer was overlooked recently
by the Monroe firm which is ex-1
plaining the Arkansas law to Ar-i
kansans and advising them how
they can evade it. According to
the circulars sent out by this firm,
alcohol shipments are permitted
in Arkansas for mechanical and
medicinal purposes: hence it is only
necessary for the man who wants
alcohol to send for it and declare
that it is for mechanical or medici
nal purposes.
Alcohol is the best of nearly all
remedies for coughs, colds, grippe,
pneumonia, etc," says the circular,
"and is a splendid tonic for upbuild
ing or for convalescents. For
medicinal purposes, use pure high
grade alcohol, adding sugar, rock
candy or syrup, and reducing in
strength with pure water to suit
the taste. It makes a palatable
tonic, strengthing and invigorating.
Physicians generally endorse the I
use in this manner.”
Leading authorities on the new
law say that the burden of proof is
put on the man caught with the
alcohol to prove that it is for medi- i
cinal use only. The man's bare
statement that it is medicine will j
not entitle him to have alcohol in
his possession. The sheriff of |
Ashley county is making arrests on
this theory and many of the people
who bit on the Monroe firm’s prop
osition will probably be "sure
enough” sick before they get
through with it and in need of a
tonic of some kind.—Crossett Ob
