their importance.
Most OF the boarders remained In

early evening for faring out-oi-doors

Professor Noll was diet delusionist

magazine He lived on the third floor
across the hall from Captain Hanska.
Miss Harding and Miss Jones had
not arrived at that point with their
young men where they wanted to visit
alone. When Professor Noll entered
and suggested music, they welcomed
him. He sat down 70 the piano, there.

Mrs. Moore stood in the hall for a
time, listening. Once or twice she left

One of these tours took her to the top
OF the house, where Miss Estrilla. the

entertaining trick of the tongue. was

he often did Of evenings. When Mrs.
Moore reioined the others. they were
singing full-voice.
On the stairs Mrs. Moore met Cap

COL. J. E. CRAvENS DEAD
For Many Years He Was Prominent
 as Statesman and a Lawyer.

Fort Smith.-Col. Jordan E. Cravens, S3 years old, resident of Arkansas since 1S3. and prominent as a states man, lawyer and politician, died We'd nesday afternoon at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. w. Howell.
 Colonel Craveps was born in Fred erickstown, Mo-, November ', 1880. In 1881 he came to Arkansas with his father, and, until his death, made this state his home. He studied law in Clarksville under Judge Felix I. Bat son of the Supreme Court bench, and was admitted to the bar in 1S54 At the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861 he enlisted as private in Captain Oli- yer Basham's company of ChurchilI's s regiment of cavalry, "The First Ar kansas Mounted Rifles'' He was wounded three times at the battle of Oak Hill. He next became major of the Seventeenth Arkansas regiment, and on it's consolidation with the Twenty-first Arkansas regiment he became colonel of the regiment.

Arkansas Farms are Smaller.

According to the United States Gen. sus the average size of an Arkansas farm increased almost 100 acres be- tween 1850 and 1860, then, during the following decade, decreased 91.7 acres. Since 1870 it has decreased gradually from 153.7 acres to 81.1 acres in 1910 In 1870 the plantation" which had been the common farm unit in a large part of the state during the first half of the century, still existed to con siderable extent, and the high average size of farms at that time is accounted for largely by the fact that each plan tation was reported as one farm. Dur ing the past 40 years most plantations, have been divided gradually into smaller parcels of land, operated large ly by tenants. Each of these tenant holdings is reported as a farm and .ach tenant as a farmer, whether or not the owner of the property lives on the plantation and directs the opera tions. This accounts, to a large ex- tent, for the fact that the number of farms reported increased 334.4 per cent during the past 40 years, while the amount of land in farms increased only 1922 per cent.

MALARIA FEVER
 LESS PREVALENT
ARKANSAS HAD 1s,52e CASES DUR ING SIX MONTHS OF 1913.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 ngton.-Malarial fevers pre- vailed to a much less extent in the South during 1913 than in previous years, according to the Public Health Service in a report on it's investigation of the prevalence of the disease. The states include Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina.
 To obtain statistics relative to mala- ria, postal cards were sent to physi- clans in all these states except North Carolina and the data received repre- sented the reports of one-sixth of the physicians who received the cards For Alabama the report for the six months of 1913, from May to November, in- elusive, gave total of 1,20S cases of malaria; Arkansas for August to No vember, inclusive, 1S,52S; South Caro- lima, from August to November, inclu- sic, 12,000; Florida, for the same pe- riod, 9,190 cases, and Georgia, from Au- gust to October inclusive, 9,S25 cases. For the year Mississippi is reported to have had 61,S11 cases.
 The report points out that of the 91,061 cases of malarial fever reported, 27,394 cases (30.0S per cent, nearly one-third, were said to have occurred in children under 15 years of age.

DOUBLE DAMAGE
 LAW SUSTAINED
cONTROVERTED ARKANSAS STAT, UTE DECLARED VALID BY U.
 S. SUPREME COURT.
SUIT OVER A $50 PONY
Act Passed in 1907 Assessing Double Damages Against Railroads for
 Killing Live Stock.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-In upholding the va lidity by the United States Supreme Court of the Arkansas law, approved February 27, 1907, assessing double damages against railroads for killing live stock, the Kansas City Southern Railroad Company will have to pay great deal in excess of the cost for filling pony mare few years ago ansas.
 Anderson offered to accept a pay ment of $50 for his pony, provided, he should receive his money from the railroad company within 30 days. The roney was not paid within the speci- fled time and the railroad company then offered to pay $150 for the loss of the pony, under certain conditions, which were not agreed to by the own CT of the pony. The ca5e went to a justice of the peace and from there reached the Arkansas Supreme Court, which sustained the judgment of the lower court in the sum of $100, or double damages and $25 for attor- neys fees.
 The Kansas City Southern succeed ed in getting 2 second hearing before the Arkansas Supreme Court and the judgment was reaffirmed.
 To test the validity of the Arkansas law, the railroad company then, as plaintiff in error, carried the case to the United States Supreme Court. That court sustained the validity of te law by affirming the judgment of the Arkansas Supreme Court, with costs.
 Justices Holmes and Lamar dissent ed from the opinion. which was hande down by Justice McKenna h addition to the payment of S125 dam ages, the railroad company will have to pay sum even larger covering the costs in the case.

FULL CREW LAW IS VALID
Iron Mountain Fined by Hot Springs
 Court for Its Violation.

Hot SpringS.-The constitutionality of the full crew railway law enacted by the Arkansas legislature was pass ed upon in Circuit Court here when the court held the law constitutional and fined the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railway $50 and costs for violating it.
 The law provides that all railways of 100 miles or more long shall main- tain switching crews consisting of an engineer, fireman, foreman and three helpers. Formerly only two helpers were maintained.
 The case has been pending in the To- cal courts since last December and the Brotherhood of Railway TIainmen took an active part in prosecuting the case against the railroad The con- tention of the tyainmen was that in switching yards, where crossings had to be guarded against accident to the public, it was necessary to maintain three helpers in addition to the train crew.
