CONGRESSMAN BELIEVES GOV EMINENT WILL PUT UP TWO
 DOLLARS FOR ONE.
WILL DOUBLE OPERATIONS
Eastern Arkansas Leaders Think Gov ernor-Elect Brough Will Be Friend Iy to Protection Plans in Pros
 pect and Under Way.
Earle


 St. Francis levee adherents are Tn optimistic mood since the flood con trol committee of the House at Wash ington recommended the $45.000, ,000 government expenditure for more gen. eral protection. They are daily watching the course of events on rivers and harbors in Congress.
 If Uncle Sam follows the insistence of Congressman B. G. Humphreys of Greenville, Miss, putting up about S2 for each $1 the levee districts come in with, it will not be more than a year until $3,000,000 will double and strengthen the present splendid St. Francis levee. Anyway that's what Eastern Arkansas folks are pulling for
 Roach & Stansell-Lowrence Bros., levee contractors of Memphis, have 250 teams and 250 men assembled In the north part of Crittenden and the south part of Mississippi county to rush to completion the $125,000 con. tract, strengthening two and one-half miles in eight small gaps of the levee Roach & Stansell have a $70,000 job in the Salem, La, section which they will begin in April.
 Nomination of Dr. c. H. Brough for governor has not alarmed the St Francis folks, who recognize in him a broad and constructive man who will deal justly with all questions Some of the St. Francis counties gave majorities for Dr. Brough, although he was the advocate of electing the q members of the board by the peo pie. There is no overwhelming objec- tion to this
 Most of the present members serve one to two years more of their terms anyway. And the new Arkansas Leg. islature is an independent body, which was chosen separate from the guber natorial fight. Arkansas Legislatures do not usually lend themselves to par tisan and factional politics. Brough's nomination is pleasing to the greater part of the St. Francis counties and no internecine warfare will result The spirit of cooperation and con. cilliation on both sides is now largely evident.
 By the time the terms of most of the present levee board expire, Uncle Sam probably will have taken practi cal control of the levee, and the smai Ter atmosphere of politics will have been eliminated.

Waae Commission Meets.

A meeting of the Minimum Wage Commission was held in the office Of State Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary to take up the question of subjecting the Boone County Telephone Company and other independent telephone com. panies to the provisions of the mini mum wage law. The minimum wage law does not provide specifically that telephone companies shall be subject to the law, but allows the commits sion the right to issue a ruling sub jecting them to it. This also applies to restaurants and other lines of bus mess, which probably will be consfd- cred. With the exception of few towns in the state, Deputy Labor Com. missioner E. I. Mckinley recently has covered all of the state, meeting em- ployers who are subject to the labor laws of the state, explaining to them the provisions of the laws and an noucing that hereafter all violations will be taken to court Immediately. Commissioner Clary announced that in the future all violations will be given the maximum publicity.

tenn, and would make the inlets nearer the wall and the out-takes in the cen tral part of the stable. The tracks would not have to be changed in any way however, as the switches make it possible to run the carrier on any of the tracks from any of the other tracks. The floor plan clearly shows the construction and arrangement of the track, with all the necessary switches.
 All the interior finishings and walls of the barn should be as smooth as possible, so that the barn can be washed down with cold water each day. All the stanchions are generally made of enameled iron or japanned iron, so that the water will not have any effect on them.
 Two silos are included in the plan for this barn. In many instances the owner may decide that it would be better to build one large silo, but very often it is cheaper to build two small CT ones. The higher the silo goes the more it costs per foot to build it, and very often it is much cheaper, if care fully figured out, to build two silos that do not go very far above the ground. The feeding is generally very easy in either case.
 One of the details of barn that is very important is the type of hanger that is to be used on the sliding doors. In large barn such as this one there are quite few sliding doors, and the best quality of material should be used, or they will be a nuisance. The kind that is chosen should have a cover over the track so as to protect it from the action of the weather and also keep the birds out of it. It should be strong enough so that there will be no tendency to sag or break. Little things like this are often con- sidered unimportant, but if farmer had a door break down during very cold weather and had to nail it in po- sition to keep his stock warm until he could fix it, he would be much more likely to consider such little things of importance afterward.
 The floor plan shows all the equip ment that is necessary to do all the work in the stable. For instance, hydrants are placed in the stable to

Undesirable Erzerum.

Erzerum, the ancient Armenian city which the Russians have taken from the Turks, is, from the European point of view, one of the most undesirable places of residence upon earth. IL stands more than 5000 feet above the sea, and in winter the temperature falls to 20 degrees below zero, while in the passes by which it is approached rages the Tipi, a terrible blizzard But Erzerum is at it's worst in sum mer, owing to the appalling lack of sanitation. MT. Hepworth, an Ameri can clergyman, who was there after the Armenian massacres of 1896, found even an open gutter only in one or two thoroughfares. The people sim ply pile their refuse of all kinds on the pavement before their houses, which has long become invisible; and mortality is so heavy that of 12 chil- dren, a common family, it is lucky if six surviye.--London Chronicle.

 If Efforts Go Through.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Now that the Democratic state pr1- mary is an event of the past, the at- tention of the voters of the state will be directed to the initiation of sew eral important measures to be sub. mitted at the coming November eIec- tion, chief among which is the pro- posed act providing for new primary election law
 Petitions seeking to initiate this measure will be placed in circulation at once by former Congressman $. Brundidge of Searcy, who, with other prominent Democrats, is at the head of the movement to give Arkansas a primary election law that will make 1t almost impossible to defeat the will of the people at future primaries in this state.
 It is reliably reported that meas. ures seeking to repeal several of the drastic anti-railroad laws passed by the last two or three Legislatures will also be initiated in the coming state election. There is also some talk of submitting a bill to repeal the statewide prohibition law.
 The large vote cast by Judge L. c. Smith in the recent primary has en- couraged the local option people to such an extent that they will make every effort to initiate the repeal of the prohibition act passed by the last Legislature.
 Petitions seeking to initiate statu- tory provisions must be placed in CIT culation during the next few weeks, in order to have them on file in the secretary of states office in time for certification to the various county election boards.
 Senator Edmondson, while in Little Rock few days ago, stated that he would very likely head movement to secure the repeal of Act No. 3, known as the publicity act, which was rati- fled by the voters two years ago, and came within an inch of being repealed by the last Legislature. Senator Ed monson led the fight for it's repeal in the last State Senate.

Who Gets the Casket7

The few officials, deputies and clerks who were at the capitol were amused at the apparent coincidence connected with the arrival of a large package at the office of the State Bank Department. It contained a sample glass casket manufactured by the American Glass Casket Company of Ada, Okla. The company applied for permission to sell $50,0OO of it's stock in the state and sent a sample of it's products to the bank commissioner for examination. Officials of the bank department jokingly said the applica- tion will not be acted upon until the election is decided.

Three different kinds of material are used in the construction of the large and well-equipped dairy barn that is shown here. The foundations are of concrete, the walls up to the floor of the haymow are of structural tile, and the upper part of the barn is framed.
 Concrete is used almost universally for foundations now, no matter how the rest of the building is built. Struc- tural tile makes most satisfactory wall for several reasons Walls made of this material are very quickly built and the air space in the tile forms an effective insulation against tempera- ture changes. Because of the nonab- sorbent surface of vitrified tile the walls can be readily washed down and kept clean. Tile is not subject to de-

,ay and will therefore last indefinitely,

cay and will therefore last indefinitely, the same as concrete.
 The upper part of nearly all barns is built of frame because it is so much cheaper than any other way of doing this work.
 The clear space between the floor and the ceiling is eight feet six inches. It is much better to have too much head room than too little, especially in a large, well-built barn, which can be Kept warm very easily There is another reason for building with plenty of room. In this particular case the litter carrier runs out onto a crane that Is high enough above the ground so that the manure can be emptied directly into the manure spreader without all the muss that is generally caused if the material is placed in a pile and emptied into the manure spreader later If the ground is on a slope this process can be car ried out very readily, but in some cases slight depression is dug so that the manure spreader can be run into this and lowered enough so that the carrier will run on the crane well over it. The crane is shown in the perspective and also in the floor plan.
 The floor plan shows most complete ly the extensive and well-designed ven tilating system. The intakes are placed in the structural tile wall and run over the cows and let the fresh air in above their heads. The air is then carried back across the animals and goes out through the foul-air shafts back of the cattle, from where it is carried in flues up along the wall and along under the roof to the ven- tilators on the peak. The dotted lines in the floor plan show the arrange ment, with it's various parts.
 The facing-in arrangement is used in this plan, but 1t could be easily changed to the facing-out style if de- sired. Such change would also in volve change in the ventilating sys-

handle the cleaning This is good plan, because the stable will be warm enough so that there will be very little danger of the hydrants freezing, as they might if they were on the out side.
 The study of this plan will be worth while to any man that is interested in the best modern practice in the ar rangement of dairy stables for the maximum amount of convenience.

Final confirmation of the report that Hot Springs would be successful in it's effort to have built here a s12,000,- 900 sanitarium was given in tele- gram received by E. N Roth, chaIr- man of the committee that has been securing the options. The telegram was sent from Chicago by R. Onr froy, who is promoting the project.
 MT. Onffroys telegram says the original specifications will be consid- erably enlarged. The telegram is as follows:
