VERY LITTLE WASTE SPACE
Convenience and Appearance Two Most important Features to Be Considered in Planning the
 Home for the Family.

Mir. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor Author and Manufacturer he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects Address all inquiries to William A.

 ployment or circumstances may make it advisable for you to sell.
 So, when building or looking over plans, keep those two thoughts in mind, for they are the factors by which the worth of your investment is governed
 "What beautiful home i' exclaims the passer-by. A neighbor confirms that thought, but adds that the inter- for is poorly arranged, that the re sources of owner and architect seem ingly were exhausted when the exter- for was planned.

centage of the inclosed space is of no practical value, but the cost of such space is just as great as though 1t were available for manifold uses.
 In home planning and home build- ing-and the idea of building a home or the desire to plan one is dormant or active in every normal person--the chief trouble arises from endeavors to associate ideas that are incompatible.
 Many home builders seek to use the feature ideas of many houses, and that is utterly impossible, for the ideas are dissimilar and cannot be put together without disregarding cost or sacrific- ing appearance.
 In building home the thought should be borne in mind that every cubic foot of inclosed space repre- sents fraction of the cost. In actual practice the cost ranges from 15 to 30 cents per cubic fout. If, due to careless or impractical arrangement, the space is not usable, it represents a dead loss, and that fact will become painfully evident to the owner if ever the house is placed on the market.
 These practical ideas of value should be kept in mind when examin- ing plan with a view to it's adoption, or in making up tentative plans from which the final design is to be made.

THIS MANS HOBBY IS SNAKES
St. Louisan Travels All Over the World in Quest of Rare Speci-
 mems of Reptiles.

Julius Hurter, ST., of 2346 South Tenth street, noted snake hunter and herpetologist, owner of one of the most complete collections of reptiles in the world, died. It is understood that he willed his collection to the Smithsonian institution at Washing ton. Hurter had travelled all over the world in quest of rare reptiles and ann phibia. He captured many of these alive and kept them at his home until a favorable season for killing them and preserving them.
 In his snake hunts Hurter followed the dangerous plan of waiting until the reptile struck and then jumping aside and catching it by the tail. Some times he was bitten, but the hypo- derrnic needle and strychnine averted evil effects. Hurter never sold any of his specimens, but sometimes traded. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

For Advisory Pardon Board.

For Advisory Pafdon boafu
 The Greenhouse advisory pardon board bill would make the state audi tor and the secretary of state ex-of- f1cio members of the board. The third member is the governor. In all crimi- nal and penal cases, except treason and impeachment the governor would have the power to pardon, commute or remit on the advice of and by con sent of the advisory board All appli- cations for clemency would be made to the governor, as at present bur they would be submitted by him to the other members of the board, Alp plications would be heard publicly, and if the applicant is represented by an attorney, the attorney general would be required to represent the state. All applications for clemency would have to be published in some newspaper in the county where the conviction was had, or the crime com mitted, within 10 days of the boards action on the application. The gov ernor also would be required to sub init to the legislature at each session a list of all pardons. communications, reprieves and remittances with the name of the offender the crime and it's place. length of sentence and req sons for extending clemency.

1llble huth.--
 Another of numerous punches that John Barleycorn" has been getting since the legislature convened 10 days ago, is aimed at that gentleman in bill introduced in the Senate, which would fix a tax on all liquor shipped into the state. The measure is fath- cred by Senator Johnston.
 After debate on parliamentary pro cedure as to whether 1t should be re- ferred to the judiciary committee be- cause of points of law involved, or to. the temperance committee because 1t is a temperance measure, the upper house voted to have the temperance committee inquire into it's provisions and make recommendation whether it should pass.
 The measure likewise limits tho amount any one person can have shipped, by providing that not more than two gallons shall be delivered by railroad companies to consumers 1t further provides that liquor can be or dered only for use of the customers self or family; that not more than one cask of beer can be imported into the state for one person, and that no fictitious names shall be used.
 It is provided that public carriers shall report the first Monday of each month on shipments, and that the car riers shall collect the tax before mak- ing deliveries The reports are to be made to the state auditors and treas urers offices.

 This home may not suit you in every particular, but then you are reading plans to get ideas and you get one, or part of one, from every plan you examine, and one day you will find all of your ideas combined in just the way you want them combined, and that will be your house.
 All worthy ideals are worth striv- ing for, and your ideal of a home cer- tainly is worth the effort it will cost you to secure or produce it.

Newton is the only county that is not touched by n railroad, and that has no property of the character named in the resolution.

The second week ce the second Ar kansas profitable farming campaign opened with meetings in Arkansas, Ashley, Cleveland and parts of Hot Spring and Dallas counties, and de- spite the bad weather large crowds were reported from virtually every meeting point. The snow appeared to make the business men of the va rious counties take a renewed inter est in the campaign. The fact that the general committee in Little Rock advised all business men and farmers to plan meetings so as not to be af- fected by the January weather made the m setings larger than had been ex- pected.
 Since the first week meetings were much more successful than had been expected, and that the second weeks start was large in the face of the bad weather, the men in charge of the work in Little Rock anticipated an- other successful week. The slogan for the week, Beat the Boil Weevil," was taken by all the speakers leaving Little Rock, for the campaign is in the counties that have been bothered by the pest. The snow and cold weather also gave subjects of inter- est for the speakers in this terri tcry.
