The appearance of a frame house is largely dependent upon the type of siding material used and also in the color and character of its treatment, whether paint or stain. Certain of the house types commonly used call for a definite scheme of wall finish, at least as far as the width of expo sure Of the siding boards or courses is concerned. An example of this is found in the Dutch Colonial and other Colonial types on which structures the wide exposure, whether siding boards or shingles are used, has come to be practically universal.
 Combinations of the different widths of exposure, the rough and the smooth clapboards and shingles finished with a harmonizing color seheme-all parts not being of the same color of ne- cessity although there is danger in using more than two colors on the ex- terior of the house-have a definite place on structures not having the style of siding established by prece- dent.

IT Is NOW BELIEVED MEN WILL REMAIN AT FORT AND IOWA
 BATTALION IS COMING.
WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEK
Given Out Some Time Ago That Can didates For This Branch of the Ser. vice Would Be Instructed at
 Some Other Point.
Fort Logan II. Roots

fOfl Logan h. hOOtS.-
 The battalion of Iowa field artillery ordered to Fort Logan H. Roots will arrive the later part.of the week and will be located on the Fort Roots hill with the training camp companies, it is stated by officers at the post.
 Some time ago 1t was understood that the artillery candidates at the Fort Roots training camp would be sent to some other point to finish their training, but it is now believed the men will remain here and that the Iowa battalion is being sent to assist in their training. During the past week the field companies have been undergoing special training in the artillery manoeuvers and drills.
 It was announced that the charae- ter of work for men of the First Ark ansas Regiment has been changed to tactical field training, consisting of maneuvers and field problems as will be undertaken and worked out on the battlefield. The schedule of the morn ings of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday consists of company drills from to 9, manual of bayonet from to 9:30, signal practice from 9;30 to II and battalion drill from Il to 1:30.
 Tuesday afternoon, First Battalion, patrolling; Second Battalion, advance guard and flank guard; Third Battal- ion, rear guard and output Wednes- day afternoon, First Battalion, rear guard and outpost; Second Battalion, patrolling; Third Battalion, advance guard and flank guard, Thursday af- ternoon, company in defense and at tack Friday afternoon, battalion as advance and rear guard.

Arkanasas' new nine-juror statute. allowing nine jurors in civil cases to return yerdicts. was knocked out by the Supreme Court as being unsonsti- tutional.
 The court refused to issue petition instructing Circuit Judge w. C. Hen- tricks to receive verdict returned by ten jurors in the case of c. F. Shiff- ner against the Mlnnequa Cooper age Company, in which Shiffner sued for damages for alleged false arrest

fitted out in the most modern manner with cupboards, shelves and work shelf. The refrigerator is filled from the outside, feature which every housewife will appreciate. The hall, from which the stair to the second floor begins, is centrally located and can be entered directly from the re- ception hall, dining room or kitchen.
 The second floor is arranged so that three bedrooms are provided, each having a commodious closet. The front and side bedrooms have three windows and the back bedroom has two, assuring effective ventilation and lighting.
 In order that the greatest good may be obtained from the large front porch of this house, it would probably be de- sirabie to build the porch with a screen inclosure. So fitted, it may cas- fly be inclosed with storm sash dur ing the winter months, making the house easier to heat, especially in case prevailing winds strike the house on the porch side. The cost of this in- stallation is considered by most home owners to be fully repaid in the pleas ure and enjoyment which it makes possible.
 The size of the house is 26 feet by 3S feet, exclusive of the porches. It is desirable that a house of this type be given plenty of room on the lot, if 1t is to show up to the best advan tage. Because of the balanced char acter of the roof, the structure is seen at it's best when viewed from an angle, which is, of course, impossible if there are houses built closely in at the sides. Assuming that lot having width of at least 40 feet is provided, the house is sure to attract favorable comment from passers-by.
 A characteristic quality which is evident in the house exterior Is the rustic appearance which is mainly de- pendent upon the wall finish. It is largely this which lends to the design it's air of distinction. Rarely is this element found in a two-story house of this architectural type. It is the ele- ment associated with the bungalow and the cottage. It is the element which makes the house possess the inherent qualities of the home and leaves with even a casual observer the feeling that within there Is cozi- ness and comfort.

tration has been finished with three types of siding material. The lower part of the first floor walls is sided with rough-surface clapboards having a wide exposure to the weather. The central belt is sided with narrow bev- eled siding. The second floor walls are sided with shingles. The trim throughout is given prominence, the effect attained being to brighten the otherwise dark wall surfaces-it being a part of the scheme to stain the rough surface siding and shingles a dark tint, this being the treatment (aside from pure white, now attainable in satisfactory white stain) most widely used on such surfaces. It is then nec- essary to counteract the effect of this

 The kitchen and pantry are con- venient, and there is sufficient sepa- ration of these rooms from the res mainder of the house so that the odor of cooking is hardly liable to perme- ate the living rooms. The pantry is

THIRD ONE IN JACKSON COUNTY IS DECLARED TO BE
 INVALID.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
No. 1, in Woodruff County, and New port Levee District Held to Be Le- oaI-Can Tax Personal Property
 For Local Improvements Also.

Little Rock The Supreme Court handed down three opinions affecting road improve ment districts created by the last Legislature. Road District No 3, !n Jackson county, was invalidated while improvement districts No. 1, in Woodruff county, and the Newport leyee district were held to be legal.
 The court held that the Jackson county road district law was so arbi- trary and discriminatory on it's face that it is void.
 In the Woodruff County road dis trict case the court held that petition CTS for a project could not withdraw their signatures without valid reasons of legal strength.
 Tn the Newport levee district case that part of the act providing for tax ation of personal property was nulli- fed, but the remainder of the act up held.
 The Jackson County road district was formed by the Legislature to re- construct the Newport, Argenta road Description of property to be taxed in the district contained a tract lying two miles from the road and omitted lands intervening. In the chancery court the description given the tract of land was declared a clerical er- TOT anod the chaneery court upheld validity of the district.
 C,,nrov,ao Courf versed the decision and remanded the case with directions to enter a verdict in accord with the higher courts opinion.
 The decision in the Newport 1eyee case upholding the act is the first rul ing upon the legality of taxing per sonal property for local or special inn provements The court held that personal property could not be taxed for such purposes, as personal prop erty could not be specially benefited by local improvement. A clause in the act provided, however, that should such part of the law be declared invalid, the ruling should not affect the remainder of the law, and that clause saved the act.
 The 1evee district was created to construct levees for better protection the White River.
 D. H. Echols and others of Wood ruff county were among petitioners for road improvement district No. of that county, but when the petition was before the county court for ap- proval they asked to be allowed to Withdraw their names, saying they had changed their minds, upon the necessity for the project.
 The Supreme Court, in it's decision affirming that of the Woodruff chan cery court said the names could not be withdrawn from the petition with out valid reason of legal strength and force. The reasons assigned by the petitioners were not sufficient, the higher court held.

expanse of dark-tinted wall surface with the lighter color, preferably white, of the trim.
 Since there are a large number of windows, the wide cornices, the roof brackets, the porch ceilings, the cop ings and the girdles between the diff ferent types of siding available for painting white, the ensemble effect is far from dark and uninteresting. One of the noticeable features of the ex- terior, which aids materially in giving this house it's distinctive appearance, is the roof construction. While the roof used on this house is of the sim pie pitch type, the use of the roof brackets and exposed rafter ends, to- gether with the attic oyerhang in the
