SOUTH A HEAVY LOSER.
Frost And Cold Has Wrought Great
Damage 10 Southern States.

Loss estimated at hundreds
and hundreds of thousands OF
dollars has occurred in the
Southern states on account OF
the frost Sunday night and the
cold weather following.
Cotton, wherever it had come
through the ground, is dead, and
it is said that in the entire South
more than 80 per cent of the cot
ton was above ground, and re-
ports indicate that scarcity OF
seed will prevent the replanting
of thousands of acres.
A dispatch from New Orleans
under date of Tuesday said:
brokers were busy all the
morning trying to find cotton
seed for replanting purposes for
their customers and friends in
the country. AS high as $50 a ton
for long staple seed, the highest
price on record, was paid. Or
dinary seed easily brought $50 to
S75 a ton. AT noon, with reports
in from nearly all sections Of the
cotton regions, brokers were
wiring out of town clients and
cabling their connections in
England and Europe that a dis
aster such as never before had
been experienced had befalIen
the cotton crop"
The loss to Arkansas cotton
raisers has been quite heavy and
fruit in Northwest Arkansas is
badly damaged. The strawberry
crop OF the state has been hall
ruined it is estimated.

The lives of thousands of seamen

Obviously, these light machines

"Union Carbide' won't burn

On account of these safety fea-

a correct understanding of beauty and
a proper ideal, together with a very

The Two Kinds OF Colors.
We may think OF colors as divided
into two classes; Cool colors: the

colors: the reds. yellows, golden
brown and olive green-that is. a
green which is largely yellow.
The quality and the quantity of
light which enters the room. as
have said, are the important factors
which should determine the color we
are to use in the decoration OF that
room. A room with a southern or
western exposure is likely to be sun
piled with brightness and sunshine
and should have its brightness soft

ATKINSON CUTS
sQUABBLE SHORT
Decides Gilman Civil Service Bill
Must Lie on Table 80 Days and
Hot Spat Ends.

The council Is beginning to hear
from the department OF buildings as
result OF the deep slashing OF the
departments budget In the spring.
Commissioner A. A. Moore sent a
communication to the council. Tues
day night, asking for an additional
appropriation Of $3.50 to provide for
an extra clerk after July /. The alder
men were gently reminded that the
appropriations were cut so as to leave
but one employe in charge OF the Of
fee.
This Is entirely insufficient" says
Mr.. Moore, ''inasmuch as we have the
issuing. filing and recording of about
5000 building permits yearly, the
writing and filing OF about 40 reports
daily from our district inspectors, to-
gether with the reports from some 80
theaters and numerous other office
duties"
The request was referred to the ways
and means committee and the mem
bers OF the commission will be on
hand prepared to back up their de-
mand when the matter Is taken up by
the committee.
A promising debate was cut short,
Tuesday night, by an opinion from
Assistant Corporation Counsel Akin
son. President Gilman had relin-
pushed the chair to Aid. Wing and
had taken the floor to urge the passage
of his civil service charter amedment,
and things were rapidly shaping them
selves for heated wordy battle be.
tween Gilman and Aid. Vernon, when
Aid. Trevor choked 1t of. by moving
that the bill lie on the table for 80
days, under the charter provisions.
Mr.. Atkinson was called on for an
opinion and declared that the charter
was clear on this point.
Aid. Vernon declared that petitions
are being circulated for the summis-
sion OF another civil service amend
ment, and that the adoption or the
Gilman measure would simply befog
the issue. The plan advocated by the
alderman from the Second ward In.
cludes laborers, while the Gilman bill
does not.
This council knows nothing about
any other BILL" Gilman said, in reply
ing to Aid. Vernon. The alderman
from the Second is out OF order when
be talks about any other measure OF
this kind OH the floor OF the council,
and he knows It,"
