SLIT SKIRT HAS
TEXARKANA GUESSING
Shows Up i'm Texarkana But Failed to
Create Stampede as in
Pine Bluff.

An account of a Texarkana girl
creating quite a sensation at Pine
Bluff as chronicled in The TeXarkan-
ian Saturday afternoon, has been the
principal subject of discussion since
the publication and the question now
is, who was the Texarkana girl that
caused the BARRIERS to throw down
their razors, clerks to quit work IN
the stores, and bald heads to bob out
of windows.
The same incident happened in Tex
arkana Sunday afternoon about 3
O'clock when a young lady was seen
to turn the corner at Broad and Maple
street and go east on Broad, wearing
the same kind of split" skirt For
tunately it was Sunday, but it is gen.
orally believed that had it been busy
Saturday, she would not have attract
ed as much attention as the TeXark-
ana girl did in Pine Bluff.
Then came the question, who was
this young lady? Was it the TeXark-
ana girl returned from Pine Bluff? Or
was she Pine Bluff maiden.-Tex-
arkana TeXarkanian.

Just as good as city sewer, and 1t Is

the septic system Of sewage disposal

ly, and practically In England years
ago. 1t consists OF two tanks-4he
first as nearly alright as possible
The liquid from this is siphoned into
the second tank automatically when
1t fills up to a certain point. Two
kinds OF bacteria are known to work
In the two tanks. The kind In the
first tank require but little air; the
kind In the second tank do better
work when no light but plenty OF air
Is admitted. These bacteria destroy
the solids In the sewage. A peculiar
feature about this system is the fact
that the solids, even greases, are re-
duced to harmless deposit In the
form OF scum on the top Of the wa.
ter. with precipitate In the bot.
tom; and the amount of scum and
precipitate does not increase but re.
mains the same month after month.

An eight.room, full two-story house,
with splendid cellar and good at
tic. is what every large family needs.
There are a great many different
styles Of eight-roomed houses. Eight
rooms seem to be about the size re-
quired by business men in the small
er towns and country places.
A great many farmers are now
building new houses. Farmers have
been prosperous OF late, and they are
using considerable money in building.
A farmer likes to have a house look
we'll, and to have conveniences for
doing the work; that is. live, up-to.
date farmers do. There are plenty
Of the other kind, but they are not
building houses like this.
This house Is about as large as
necessary on the average farm. 1t Is
about as large as furnace will heat
economically, being 35 feet In width
by 49 in length, exclusive Of porches.
The stairway to the attic is closed so
that no heat is wasted in that direc.
ton. A hot-air furnace is the best
means Of heating up house of this
size. Anything larger should have
hot water or steam. There is a
great advantage in hot air, from the
fact that 1t furnishes ventilation;
most houses in the country are shy
on ventilation.
Members Of farmers families In
some rural districts are more sub
1ect to lung diseases and pulmonary
troubles than the inhabitants of towns
or cities. Physicians in country places
say harsh things about some farmers
claiming that the prevalence of con
sumption In rural districts is due to
living in houses without proper ventl
lation and heating; also that the ex
ira burden thrown upon females by
want Of conveniences for doing house
work is contributing factor. They
name farmers who are very careful
OF their horses and cattle. but very
neglectful of wife and daughters
They are even bold enough to say
that the first care with such mer

Is not enough to pick out perfect ears

growth and environment.
There are many mysteries to be
solved in this question Of seed selec-
tIon with the view to breeding up a
more productive type OF corn. My
own experiments In this direction will
indicate some OF the difficulties to be
met with. In husking the corn in
the fall OF 1908 | came across just
one stalk containing two ears. 1t
was the first | had ever met with,
though upon inquiry find that farm
ers do frequently come across such
two-eared stalks, though they never
pay any attention to them. but throw
them In the crib with the others.
1t occurred to me, however, that It
would be well to plant from those two
ears and endeavor to raise a two
cared type. One ear was OF good size
and the other about two.thlrds as big.
Weighing them the large one weighed
IA ounces and the small 9is ounces.
| The large ear was an average ear
such as every stalk carried Thus
! this particular plant gave 81 ounces
more than any other plant. This gain
would mean almost ton more to the
/ acre II the corn could be bred to
yield two ears. II would mean even
more II the two ears could be made to
attain a good size instead OF one be.
Ing large and one small as In this
case.
The corn was OF variety called

nearby farmer. From these two ears

this was planted was fall plowed and

seed was planted at one end OF the
main corn field. 1t should, OF course,
have had a separate plot, and It may
be that the tendency to revert to one
ear was due In part to Its contiguity
to the ordinary corn.
The $50 kernels made 2i0 hills

being eaten by worms or mice. The

from the two-eared seed, only 1886
stalks produced double ear. About

Another interesting point, showing
clearly the tendency to reversion to
remote ancestors. is found In the fac,

the family is worth more than the

the barns should be close second.
Water supply. heat, ventilation, drain

bathroom facilities, disposal Of sew
age and garbage, and ventilation of
the cellar, are very important topics
for consideration. They make for
health; but, when. neglected, they
often lead to disease.

In the meantime the women folks
are obliged to work In drafty

are not heated. The result Is that
they spend the night In close rooms
with the windows shut in order to
keep warm.
