NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY . ) - .German Scientist Employe High Cur rent in the Rapid Production of Mirrors. j A rapid and admirable method for depositing suitable metals on the surface of glass so as to produce mir rors, consists of decomposing the .metal by means of a high-potential electric current.

The two plates are then placed flat on a table beneath the receiver of an air-pump suitable for producing a high degree .of vacuum. A small quantity of an inert gas, such as hydrogen, is introduced into [the vacuum and a high-potential cur jrent is then turned on by means of the negative pole of a suitable source of electricity, this pole being at tached to the metal plate. Thirty .seconds duration of this cathodic ‘flow is sufficient to obtain a properly silvered mirror. Besides silver the metals gold, cop per, platinum, nickel, iron, palla dium and iridium may be employed. EUROPE YIELDINQ TO ORIENT. Europe’s production of the class of merchandise generally referred to as “luxuries” is steadily declining. Customs officials charged with the examination of fine arts goods and luxuries have declared that the stress of conflict in Europe was be coming such that, unless the war ends shortly, still lower levels of im ports in these classes may he ex pected. The local customhouse reports, according to the New York Times, indicate that, while Europe is losing its primary positiou here ns an im porter oi^luxuries, the far East mer chants are taking advantage of Eu rope’s misfortune to ship here un precedented quantities of Oriental merchandise of all kinds, including objects of art, chinaware, silks, ex pensive window and door hangings and pearls.

The Argenta mu nicipal court opened with the Lord's prayer, led by Judge Jas. Gerlach and followed by all pres ent, Monday. The plan launch ed by Judge Gerlach Saturday worked very satisfactorily. When Judge Gerlach went on the bench he held the Bible in his hands,and requested that the officers, deputy prosecuting at torneys, witnesses and all pres ent take part in the service, which was readily responded to. In the future the court will al ways convene with the prayer. John Wade, a white mar^ was the first to appear before judge Gerlach. He was charged with drunkenness and disturbing the peace. He was fined $5 for dis turbing the peace. The second case on docket was Lawrence Tally, negro, charged with disturbing the peace. Lawrence deposited $10 with the desk sergeant at time of his arrest, and did not appear in court Monday morning. ^Gazette. Leap year is over but that is nothing.

Before listening to the com plaint of your children about the general fiendishness of the teach ers, and getting all worked up and excited over it, it is better to reflect a little.

Remember that besides your boy, who of course everybody knows is an an gel, she has to contend with that she has to contend with that aw ful boy of your neighbor’s and you know full well what a terror he is! —Picayune, Prescott. After one of Billy Sunday’s revivals a well known scape-goat of Kansas City applied ,to^a Ch urch for mem bership. The committee,‘.knowing; his reputa tion advice that he wait a month and prayerfully consider and the matter of his fitness. At the end of the month he returned and was asked to give his experince before the entire church. He arose, solemnly turned to the minister, deacons and audience and said: “Fellow sinners, daily for a month God has admonished me not to feel badly if I did not get into this church,for he had tried for 20 years and was not in yet.” Dad Burnett!—no we are not swearing- we started to say an old printer and later a saddle and harness man of Paris, Ark., who for the last few years has been traveling for his health and pay ing expenses taking pictures, came in to see us Tuesday. Dad Burnett is stopping near Poping with a relative, Mr. Cloninger. We were glad to.meet him -Dad Burnett, we were. t Rural Rest Room. The article in the Spectator several weeks ago describing a “rest room” and telling of its needs, met with the approval of the women of the rural commun ities. If the wives of the merchants and business men of Ozark could appreciate the great need of such a place in Ozark, they would surely unite and make an effort ; to secure one. Many of our coun try women never go to town i year in and year out. The long rough roads, the expense of hotel bills, and the care of little ones while there is too much of an undertaking for them. Many farmers from as far as 25 miles drive to Ozark with produce, ties, I lumber, etc. Visiting friends from a distance are met at the depot. Some men go as jurors, some as witnesses during court, and others on other business. Their wives would often enjoy the trip with them, but there is no place where one $an fix up a little and attend to the wants of the babies and smaller children without the expense of a hotel bill. As many can not afford this, and in fact would not occu py a room long enough to pay. them to engage one. they stay at home, trusting their shopping to the men. If you could see how many mail order catalogs there are in the homes of the farmers, and see the amount of parcel post deliv ered on the rural routes, you would soon be convinced that it would be a money maker for Ozark to have a rest room, it is a very unsatisfactory way to trade when one orders sight un seen from a catalog house. If one delays ordering until they need an article they will keep it many times and use it even if it is not satisfactory. In that way the people do not get the good of their money that they should, and they would much rather trade with the(merchant8 of their home town, if it were more convenient for them to do j so. Then it is a fact that there is not enough interest taken in poultry, eggs, butter et \ as there would be if the women could take them tp market. •Convenient for vou and we would « not have time to accept >our hospitality but you can make it pleasant for us and lift many hard ships from the mothers and daughters of the country by establishing a restroom in a con veint place at Ozark.
