 THE MILLINERY OPENING AT BARToN's.
 The spring millinery opening is always notable event at the popular store ot W. G. Barton, and the spring opening, this week, showed that there was no losa in interest. On both days the store was crowded by ladies inspecting the beauti- tul goods in the millinery line, and 8 large number of orders were placed with Mir Barton's efficient milliners. As last year this department is presided over with grace and tact by Mrs D. K. Hoyt, and her capable and popular assistant, Mrs R. L. Grant, whose friends are le- zion. The prevailing color, this season, in the decorating, are the various shades of pink. Fruit has made it's appearance on the fashionable feminine hats, in punches of grapes, cherries, etc., and the effect Is very striking when other decora. tions are used to the best advantage Large chrysanthemum blooms are very popular, and are used to & considerable extent. It would take Parisian expert to properly explain the various shapes o1 hats, but it may be said the round hats are favored by. the ladies, and they are susceptible to the best effects at the hands of the mflliner. Foliage is used exten' sively in decorating. The Tuscan hats for ladies and children are novelty this season. They are trimmed with big bows and rosettes, and look very stun ming. The leghorn shade is very popular this season. Here is ''The Ostend," fol instance, two leghorns combined in one hat and gathered together in the back by 8 brass buckle. Mousseline de soie is draped around the brim and is caught back in knots finishing in peacefully flowing ties which can be utilized as g scarf. The trimming consists of fina large chrysanthemums in the pastel col ora, finished with natural foliage. An other handsome hat is one in which white tulle is used. The upturned brlm is faced with red embroidery done with small silver spangles on white tulle. White ostrich plumes fall gracefully over the brim and a bow of black velvet ribbor finishes the bandeau of folded white tulle. Here is stylish toque of spanglet black tulle. The crown consists of $ large soft chain of velvet upon which ii posed 8 large butterfly of tulle artistical ly spangled in assorted shades. Another stunning hat is "the Grand Prix." A heliotrope basket straw, made with the newest "Grand Prix" crown with brin on the visor shape. A draping of req lace encfreles the crown, which is held iE place by strap of deep violet velvet The trimming is formed on the brIm o violet hazel nut blossoms and leaves.

FIRST STATE RETURNS.
Census Bureau Gives Out Figures on
ArkanBas.

Washington, Oct 4.-The census bu-
reau has made public its first bulletin
of the count by states. The returns
given out are for Arkansas and give
the population by counties, townships
and incorporated towns.
The population OF the state in 1900 is!
1911, 1854, as against 1,12S.179 in 1890, rep
5resenting an increase since 1890 of 49,
3S5, or 1926 per cent. This rate Of In
crease is only about two-1lfths OF that
of the decade from 1880 to 1890, when 1t
was 4O5S per cent. and less than one
fourth OF that for the decade from 1870
TO 1880, when 1t was 65.65 per cent. From
1850 to 1870 there was an, increase OF
only 1926 per cent, but prior to 1860 the
population more than doubled itself
during each decade, and for the decade
from 1880 to 1910 showed an increase of
22i. O9 per cent.
The population OF Arkansas for 1900
is more than ninety times as large as
the population given for 1920. the first
census taken after its organization
as territory in 1910.
The total land surface OF Arkansas Isl.
approximately. 53,045 square miles, the
average number OF persons to the
square mile at the censuses OF 1890 and
1900 being as follows: 1890. 21.27: 1900,

E Galveston, Tex, Oct. stephen L
Barton, second e-president of the

so far there have been donated for the
flood sufferers about sl,0O0,00o cash. OF
this amount s750,000 has been donated
to Galveston. 1t viii require every cent
l.of this amount to clean up debris and
lspay the expenses of distributing the
materials donated and nothing will be.
! left for reconstruction of the 1000 homes
,sdestroyed. The broken lumber that can
he extracted from the debris is not.
worth the cost of the labor necessary
to recover it, However, It is utterly inn
! possible to think of burning any part of.
| 1t without removing it some distance
/ from the remaining buildings.
The Red Cross in connection with the
Ecentral relief committee is earnestly en-
1 deavoring to formulate a comprehensive
4 plan for demonstrating the destroyed
homes in a temporary manner that Will
furnish suitable homes for the people,
altho very small and plain, until they
can recover thru the natural
/ process of restored prosperity. The plan
lof renting these houses for a low nomi-
i nal rent to those who are employed and
able to pay rent is also favored, the pro-
