PLAN 100 TWO-DAY
COOKING SCHOOLS
MISS MARCELLA ARTHUR
WILL GIVE PRACTICAL LESSONS
TO WOMEN OF ARKANSAS
DURING WINTER.

Fayetteville, Dec. 27.-"In many
states practically every town and city
school have courses in cooking and
sewing for the girls, but the eXten-
sion divisions of the agricultural col
leges are now holding cooking schools
for women only said Miss Marcella
Arthur of the extension division of
the Agricultural College
1--WE want to hold 100 two-day cook
ing schools in Arkansas during the
winter and spring. During the last
six months | have held womens meet
ings in almost half the counties of the
state, but the discussions have been
general. Now | want to get into
the smaller towns and have classes
of given number of women of both
town and country. Cor two days.
shall divide the work into four
parts or lessons, 8 a. m. to 11:30 a.
m., and from p m. to 4:30 p m.
"These lessons will be very practi-
cal, dealing with everyday problems,
cooking of meats and vegetables
breadand biscuit making, etc. If the
women of the state really want many
of these schools and write soon
enough, l am promised an assistant
by February. Then we want during
March and April to get classes out in
the country.
"There are right and wrong ways
of cooking, as for other things, and
too many people have never learned
the right ways of cooking meats and
vegetables that are used every day.
In this cooking schools only the prac-
tical everyday problems will be dem
onstrated. l shall carry my entire
equipment and all I need is a good
warm room, two small tables, class
of from 20 to 40 earnest women and
the necessary supplies, costing, if
bought, only about So or So, and my
board and lodging for the two days
and a bright high school girl to help"
w. C. Lasetter, assistant director
of cooperative extension work, is
now making arrangements for these
schools.

10 PIPE KIBLER
GAS TO MEMPHIS
LARGER SUPPLY he {
WILL BE INSURED IF PLANS OF
CLEAR CREEK CONCERN
NATURE.
rom Tuesdays DaflJ.

Attorney G. C. Hardin of Fort
Smith, representing the Clear Creek
Oil & Gas Company, who was here
last night comforting with members
Of the city council relative to a fran
chise for supplying natural gas to
consumers in Conway, stated that his
company is now planning to convey
its product to Memphis. That city
now has no natural gas supply, and
it is believed the vast quantity re-
Gently tapped by the Clear Creek COM
pany in the Kibler field in Crawford
county will be ample to furnish as
large city as Memphis, as well as all
cities and towns between the field and
that city, distance of approximately
800 miles
Mr.. Hardin stated that he had been
instructed to apply for franchises in
all towns on the Rock Island railroad
between Little Rock and Memphis,
and negotiations for franchise at
Memphis will also be taken up short
ly.
This will mean, Mr.. Hardin states,
a much more abundant and steady
supply Of the gas at Conway, than if
this city were made the terminus of
the pipe line, as was first planned
If the gas is piped to Memphis, mains
16 or Is inches in diameter will be
used, whereas if the line is stopped
at Conway an eight or ten inch main
would be used. With the large size
main, there would never be danger
of reduced or inadequate pressure at
any point along the line, Mr.. Hardin
says.
Preparations for drilling additional
wells in the field of the Clear Creek
company, which holds leases on about
10000 acres of land, are going for
ward rapidly and one new well has
already been started. Mr.. Hardin
,said that arrangements for floating
the bond issue to construct the sys-
TEN have already been made and with
a little further test drilling and the
passage of the franchises by cities
expected to be furnished, the company
will be ready to begin laying its pipe
lines.
The local franchise will come up
or further consideration at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council to-
night, but owing to the absence of
Mayor Frank Jones and the fact that
an agreement has not been reached
upon some minor details of the fran
chise, the ordinance will probably not
be finally passed until later meet

Miss Winona jackson, clerk in the

The others are minor employees at
the hospital.
1t is said Governor Hays charged
DR.. Coulter with absenting himself
from the farm too frequently, and
Warden Martin with having been
cruel to convicts.
Political enemies of Governor Hays
in Little Rock last night declared that
the dismissals were a part of move
in the gubernatorial game. The gov

impossible to get into communication
with him.

of Control of the state charitable IN

that the board about December l IS
sued a list of 10 employees of the IN

he does not know OF this list. DE-
Frank Young, superintendent OF the
institution declined to give any IN
formation about the changes. lie ana

FAULKNER CROP
ESTIMATE RAISED
1922 BALES ALREADY
GINNINGS FROM DECEMBER
TO 13 ARE UNEXPECTED
LY LARGE.
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
Unexpectedly large ginnings dur
ing the period from December l to 13
in Faulkner county, reported to the
Log Cabin Democrat today by W. r
McHenry, United States census
agent, will cause raise in the esti-
mate of the county's crop at about
1000 bales. According to Mr.. Nc
Henry, the total ginnings in this
county to December 13 were 1922
bales, as compared with 22,018 to the
same date last year and 22,845 to the
same date in 1913.
This represents a ginning during
the period from December l to 13 this
year of 1,845 bales, far above the av-
erage amount for the period, and
comparing with ATS bales during the
same period last year and 1857 bales
year before last.
Even up to few weeks ago, 49,
500 bales was generally regarded as
high figure for the total crop in
Faulkner county and with that figure
passed by over 200 already, it is
somewhat difficult to guess at what
still remained to be ginned on Decem-
Der 13. Last year 1921 bales were
ginned between December 13 and the
final report in March and of the 1913
crop 2,461 bales were ginned during
that period. 1t would seem probable,
therefore, that the total crop will be
at least 1880 bales in the county, or
about 1000 bales more than has been
anticipated by local cotton men.
The cotton futures market opened
after the holiday recess today at an
advance over Fridays close. No cot
ton has been marketed at Conway
since Friday. The price of cotton
seed today is unchanged, at $36 per
ton.
