STATE LAND IS
 GETTING SCARCE

Little Rock, May Estate land is getting scarce-very scarce, and in a few years. if it goes at its present rate. there will be nothing left to be donated or secured for the statu- tory fee of SIPS per acre. Already the swamp land has gone. there being only a few scattered tracts of small acreage ln the state. The most of the land now on the books of the state land office. according to Commissioner Codman. Is that which reverts to the state through delinquent taxes, and of recent years the land has been in- creasing in value so rapidly that little comes back to the state, buyers get ting hold of it when 1t is offered for sale by the sheriff of the counties in which it is located. The major DOT ton of real estate which now reverts Co the state through delinquent taxes Is city or town lots. An oversight $ generally the cause for this and as soon as the people find the land has gone to the state they purchase it again. A few years ago the entire townslte of Mount Mena, which was had out a number of years ago on a mountain a short distance from Mena, was forfeited to the state for non payment of taxes. but since that time all of the lots, or the majority of them have been redeemed.

A NEW BACK FOR AN OLD ONE HOW IT IS DONE IN
 CONWAY.

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kid neys, an dagain the Joins are so lame to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back in this condition. You cannot reach the cause. Exchange the bad back for a new and stronger one. Follow the example of this Conway citizen.

EplroR LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT:
 It is the duty of every elector on next Saturday to vote seven-mill school tax, for the public school is the hope of our country. It gives every child a chance, because they learn honesty, intelligence and the things that win. Thomas Jefferson said if you do not appropriate money to educate your children you will be compelled to appropriate money to prosecute criminals. Open school houses and we will close the jails.
 I believe that every white child in the state should be educated within the state We need better school houses Much money can be saved to the people and the common schools greatly aided by the adoption of a full series of text books for the public schools of the state.
 I hope that every school district in Faulkner county will vote a seven-mill tax. G. D. SOW ELL.

SOME OF THE MANY RESULTS.

It has had, in fact almost every variety
Of effect, from the fundamental to the frivo-
lous. It has changed the nature of some
tenants relations to the fat men frequent
ly owning instead of renting their apart
ments; it has caused one fat sometimes to
belle its name and consist of two, or even
three, stories; it has brought an amount of
light and air into each room really aston
ishing, when one considers the number of
chambers that have to be fitted into a linz
tied space, and it has created some apart
ments so luxurious in their conveniences
and appointments that they are positively
exquisite places to live in. A development
also conspicuous is an anxious catering to
the comfort Of servants. but considera ton
for domestic help is not so much g. result as
a cause Of the rapid increase of apartment

A tenants possible ownership Of his fat
and also the two story"feature came about
in this way. About ten years ago a number
of well known artists, among them Henry
". Ranger, were painting their pictures in
artistic ventures. New buildings on the
same plan were put UP, and to-day both the
apartments left over after the owners We're
accommodated should be rented out to
brother artists The plan fiourished. It
paid with splendor seldom awarded to
genius, but actually helpful in only one re-
spect-their cheapness. They were using
the kind of dismal holes ron1antically sup
posed to be conducive to the workings of
stables for studios. The artists were driven
to this makeshift because private houses
containing the sort Of rooms fit for studios
were too expensive and flats at that time
didn't include such rooms. So they deter
mined to build themselves an apartment
house meeting their wants. Each fat
should have studio in front twice as high
as the ordinary room. and the rest of the
suite should be divided into two stories The
cooperative and the studio duplex features
are much in use in New York among others
than artists.
why do business men want studios?'' the
reporter asked the superintendent Of a
house containing them. Men like space

The tritest things are often the truest-
If any one doubted. for instance. that ne
cessity was the mother Of invention he
would only have to contemplate the facts
that people were forced into apartments
and then demanded certain difficult things
from the architects They demanded space
and that in New York! The studio was
given to them to satisfy that desire. Some

A rich real estate owner recently gave up
