This is a good plan for a seven-room
dwelling. There are advantages in
building wing or L-shaped house.
The L extension gives an opportunity
for better light and air, two reQuisi-
ties in a house that have never been
appreciated TO their full value.
There is ar opportunity to vary the
roof design In construction like this.
A house roof has more influence on
the final finish Of the house than most
people realize very homely house

extension o dormer window or some
variation In contour that adapts the
roof to the general style of the house
and its surroundings.
There are many houses in our
American cities covered with very
homely roofs. A roof that looks vel
on one house is out Of place on an
other. The roof on house is like
the hat on a man; 1t is all right wheT
the size and proportions correspond
with mans build and general make

IN all friendly bouts. But you can put

awkwardly, as is sometimes the ten
dency when thus leading with the

To guard a right-hand lead for the
face, raise the left arm, keeping the
elbow lower than the wrist, throwing
the forearm out and upward and turn,

Children are always in what is called
by the physicians ''the first hypnotic state, 2

are in that state. This faculty Of being

be attentive enough as to how we influence
them. People are always trained only by
this influence and suggestion, accomplished
in two ways, consciously and unconsciously.

JUDGE LEA ANSWERS REYNOLDS
Makes Vigorous Reply to Charg-

Rival Nominees for County Judge Met at the Court House and Discussed Is-
 sues Saturday.

Vigorously asserting that he stood squarely upon his record which he believed to be the best i'll the history of the county, Judge J. A. Lea made stirring speech in reply to his Republi- can opponent at the court house Saturday afternoon. MT. Rey- holds spoke first and was greeted by all audience of about 40. He charged that Judge Lea's admin istration of the probate court was poor; that the indebtedness was reduced at the expense of public improvements; that the conditions of the county jail and court house were bad; that the road fund was improperly ad- ministered, and that the proposed new bridges were "political" bridges.

EDITORIAL
THE FIRST ISSUE.

This is the first issue of the Daily Edition of The Log Cab ill Democrat. If our intentions are carried out, it will be the poorest issue, because we ex- pect each succeeding issue to be better than the one which pre- ceded it.
 The encouragement which the Daily has already received is very gratifying to us. We have set our mark for 500 subscribers and we are agreeably surprised to be able to send the first edi- tion to considerably more than one half that number of actual subscribers.
 One copy of today's paper will be sent to every home, in order that those who have not sub scribed may have an opportun- ity of seeing the Daily Edition.
 We shall be glad to receive subscriptions from every person in the city who feels that he can afford to pay ten cents a week for the paper delivered and every one else who feels that the Daily will be worth 25 cents a month when sent by mail.

CIRCUIT COURT TOMORROW
Special Session will Convene in
 This City.
Trial of J. w. Cartwright, Wife-Murdsrer, to be Taken Up-Judge Lankford
 Expected Tonight.

A special session of the Faulk- ner circuit court will convene in this city tomorrow morning for the purpose of trial of the case of J. w. Cartright, who killed his wife near Wooster short time ago. A report was sent from Conway to the Little Rock Gazette that the special term would probably not convene, but according to the officers here there is no foundation for this report, as nothing has been heard from Judge Eugene Lank- ford since the order for the spec ial term was received from him.
 Judge Lankford is expected to arrive this afternoon or to- night, remaining at home this morning ill order to cast his vote.
 At the sheriff's office it is stat ed that Cartwright, who is now ill the penitentiary for safe keeping, will not be brought here until the court so orders. It is probable, however, that this order will be made immedi- ately upon the arrival of Judge Lankford, in which case Deputy Sheriff J. s. Johnson will bring the prisoner here tomorrow morning.

HEAVY VOTE Is
 BEING POLLED
BIENNIAL STATE ELECTION ON
Faulkner Will Roll Big Majority
 for Donaghey.
Liquor Interests Claim Pulaski will Give License 1000 Majority and 25
 Counties will go Wet

All day steady stream of voters have been going to the three polling places in this city and at three o'clock this afternoon the indica- tions are that all previous records will be broken in the vote cast here. Telephone report from various townships are to the effect that, al- though little interest is apparently being manifested and no excite ment prevails, good turnout is being had and more than a normal vote will be boiled. Every indica tion points to the fact that Faulk- ner county will give her favorite son, George w. Donaghey, an overwhelming majority.
 In several townships there are warm races for township officers, and the aspirants for these offices are doing their best to bring out every vote.
 As far as can be learned the pre- dictions of the Republicans that Democrats would scratch the nom inee for county judge, J. A. Lea, have failed to materlalize. Re ports from the uegto townships are that the colo1ed vote Is going ing to Lea on account of the lily white utterances made by l. K. Reynolds on the stump.
 There seems to be no question that Faulkner county will vote for road tax, against license and the sale of wine, for Amendment No. 9 and against No. 10.
 Much Interest in Pulaski
 Little Rock Sept I4.-Special- Election day dawned tair, and re- ports from over the state give the same atmospheric conditions, with few exceptions, where a drizzling rain is falling. From the interest manifested here, the vote polled will exceed materially the number of ballots cast in the Democratic primaries in the spring. The Re- publicans and Prohibitionists are working exceptionally hard, with little prospects for success by eith- CT. The anti-prohibitionists are are claiming plurality of 2ooo, though it will hardly be that large.
 The election so far, has been an orderly one, all saloons being closed tight, and there being no disturb ances at the polls. Under instruc- ton of Sheriff C. C. Kavanaugh, the electioneerers are kept 100 feet from the polling booths, and this has prevented clashes between the prohibition and anti prohibition clements. The poll tax require ment is not being enforced in any of the local wards, and many ne groes have voted, but many of them have voted the Democratic ticket straight, and the majority 7 have voted for license. Another strange thing about the negro vote, is that the majority of those who are casting their ballots ill Little Rock are supporting Amendment No. 9, which makes the poll tax receipt requirement. of a voter. From all indications, even Little Rock is going overwhelmingly against Amendment No. 10. Liquor men are today claiming at least 5 counties of the state will be wet after the election today.
