AGENTS GO IN AUTO.
More Effective Work Can Now Be Done by Pulaski Farm
 ing Experts.

Hereafter the Pulaski county farm demonstrators will travel over the county in an automobile which has just been provided for them by County Judge Asher. An outlay of a few hundred dol lars will be worth thousands to the farmers of the county, since the agents will be able to cover much more territory and make their visits more frequent.
 There are now three agents engaged in the work in Pulaski county-George c. Pye, George K. Lowe, and Miss Minnie AL len. Miss Allen has charge of the girls clubs and Messrs. Pye and Lowe of general farm work. MT. Pye is working in the up- lands and MT. Lowe in the low lands.

w. F. Marlow Has Been Myste- riously Missing Since After
 noon of January II.
LEFT WIFE AND CHILDREN
Mrs. Marlow Continues to Run the Business, and is Thank full for Liberal Patron
 age by the Public.

w. F. Marlow, aged 58, a gro- cer at Prospect and Cypress, at the entrance of the park, has been mysteriously missing from his home since January II. He left his store at 2 D. m. on Satur- day, without any word of fare we'll to his wife, or intimation that he did not intend to return. Since that hour Mrs. Marlow and the authorities who have taken an interest in her case have been unable to secure any trace of him. A rumor that he was in a local hospital was in- vestigated by Marshal Hawkins and found to be unfounded. An other rumor has been heard that he had gone to New Orleans, but this could not be verified.
 Mrs. Marlow continues to manage the store and to look af- ter her three children. They are Danny, her son by a former marriage, and two daughters, one aged three years and the other nine months. She is thankful for the liberal patron age that she is receiving from the people, who sympathize with her in her trouble.
 
 MT. Marlow carries a policy of $2,000 in a life insurance com- pany, which is assisting his wife in her effort to locate him. She is named as the beneficiary. This is not the first time he has left home, but never before has he been away so long. Once last year he was gone for three days.
 Mrs. Marlow's theory is that he may have gone to England, his native country, to enlist in the army and enter the great European war. Several of his brothers and other near kins- men are on the firing line in Flanders, and he has been deep- ly interested in the fortunes of Great Britain.
 In the meantime, the brave little woman is carrying on the fight alone, managing the store, looking after her three children

PUBLIC AFFAIRS DISCUSSED
Sanitation, Sewage and Land scaping Among Phases of Civic Improvement Con-
 sidered by Citizens.

An enthusiastic rally of the Ninth Ward Club was held Tues day night in the Episcopal par ish house, on WoodlaWn, near Ash. It was attended by num- Der of the leading citizens of the ward, including large party of ladies, who are among our most thoroughly interested residents in the improvement of commu- nity affairs.

 Rev. L. E. N. Hundley, the new pastor of the Pulaski Heights M. E. Church, South, was the first speaker. He de- clared that while he is a new conner, he is deeply interested in all things that will improve the community. Sometimes" he said, 'I almost get my sermons on the secular order in my desire to boost the community where I live and where my interests may be located. As a commu- nity center, I have never found one more of a beehive of indus try than I have found Pulaski Heights. When a man moves to Pulaski Heights, let him come with all of his interests and en- thusiasm and enterprise. That is what have done"
 Frank M. Blaisdell discussed Landscape Art as It Might be Applied to Pulaski Heights" He declared that it had been his ob- servation that the people of Pu- laski Heights are much interest ed in civic improvement. One of the greatest assets of a commu- nity is to have trees planted on the streets and avenues, and the opportunity for beautifying this district is of the greatest. Trees and shrubbery. properly planted and tended, will add a charm even to the humblest cottage. He advised the citizens to make beauty spots of the waste places, caving banks, abandoned quar- ries and other unattractive To- calities, and gave practical in- structions about the proper planting of shrubbery.
 MT. Blaisdell predicted that during the next two years there will be $25O,000 expended on Pu- laski Heights in new buildings and improvements. Already

adequate water service for do- mestic use and fire protection, also a better and more extensive sewer system. MT. Blaisdell as- sured the members of the club that he would always be ready to give any of them advice at any time on practical landscap- ing.
 Dr. c. w. Garrison, State Health Officer, a resident of the Heights, spoke on Sanitation with special reference to the sewers.
 Health authorities have not until recently been dealing with fundamentals" said he. "The time must come when every in dividual of a community must be forced to keep his premises sanitary for the protection of the public. We should spend more money on drainage than we do on our streets and roads. For one-tenth of the money that will be needed to pave Lee av- enue l could sanitate the entire Heights and destroy the breed ing places of all the flies and mosquitoes"
 Dr. Garrison discussed the most effective means of screen ing houses against flies and mo- squitoes. Discussing the sewer system that must be provided for the Heights, he said there must be a system of storm sew CTS and sub-drainage. He call ed attention to the fact that the effluent cannot be turned into the river above the intake of the water company's plant, since that would contaminate the wa ter supply of the whole city. That, however, is an engineer ing problem that must be work ed out. The speaker also said that all pipes for sewers and wa ter service should be laid before the streets are paved, so that it will not be necessary to tear them up afterwards.
 Alderman John P. Streepey of the Ninth ward, addressing the club briefly, declared that the people must make some personal sacrifices and go about the work earnestly of building up the community if they expect to ac- complish the big things they have in view to make Pulaski Heights even a more delightful residence section than it is al- ready. Much good can be done by cooperation" said he; five have started with the right kind of a reputation, and we must keep it up."
 Clio Harper, a member of the Little Rock City Council, and one of the new editors and own CTS of The Pulaskian, was intro duced and spoke briefly of the attitude of the council toward the new Ninth ward, of the i'm provements that are to be work ed out, and of the splendid op- portunities that lie before our citizenship.
 J. R. Smart, secretary of the club, briefly explained the pur- poses and hopes of the organiza- tion. Incidentally, he suggested that one means of solving the problem of disposing of the sew age would be to force the water company to move it's intake sev- eral miles, up the river.
 MT. Smart called for new members, and the following signed the membership cards: pr. and Mrs. c. w. Garrison, J. R. Hawkins, and Mrs. L. V. Cos sett. It developed that most of those present were already members. There is now a mem bership of over one hundred.
 The club then adjourned. sub- iect to the call of the president.
