ARKANSAS MINERS
 ASK WAGE RAISE
HIGH COST OF LIVING TO BE THE BASIS OF NEW DEMANDS
 OF MINERS,
10000 MEN CONCERNED
Twenty Per Cent Maximum Obtained in Ohio and Pennsylvania Fields Considered as Competitors, Will
 Be the Basis of the Demand.

Fort Smith
 It became known at Fort Smith that the executive board members of the United Mine Workers of District No. 21, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tex. as; District No. 25, Missouri, and Dis trict No. IA, Kansas, will meet in Kansas City, Mo, to formulate plans for wage increase on the basis of the 20 per cent raise recently obtain ed by the United Mine Workers of Ohio, Illinois, Western Pennsylvania and Indiana.
 Forty thousand coal miners will be affected. Details of the demands to be made by the miners will be worked out by the Kansas City conference. The present wage contracts in districts Nos. IA, 21 and 25 do not expire until July, 1918, and the increases to be asked by the miners are in addition to those contained in the present wage contract.
 The increased cost of living are to serve as the grounds for the demand for an increase in pay, the same as it served as a ground for the demands in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Western Pennsylvania, which are competitive states in the coal industry Of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

tral air duct to admit fresh air. Over this air duct is placed a wooden walk, built of 2 by 1 cross pieces, with the boards nailed on lengthwise. This leaves an opening between the 2 by cross pieces for the entrance of air into the stable directly in front of the cows noses.
 According to the principle of warm air circulation, this arrangement is theoretically correct. Air is admitted in the center of the room that is prop erly proportioned and close enough built to prevent the influence of out side air currents. The cold air from outside is heated by the lungs and the body warmth Of the cows. Warm afr will rise to the ceiling and spread in every direction. As it loads up with impurities, and as its temperatcre is reduced, the air becomes heavier As it reaches the outer walls it descends and is drawn through the outlet fiues from near the floor behind the COWS.
 Practical stable ventilation must be studied for each building separately. What will work out in one stable would be useless in another, because of some peculiarity in the structure.
 This center horizontal air duct is worth trial. Being made of con- crete, 1t may be kept perfectly clean, and, being open, it is less of a harbor for rats and mice than some of the wall air ducts that are placed in sta- bles. This center walk is made in sections, so it may be lifted up and rested against the front of the manager while the stable is being swept with broom or cleaned with hose.
 Any system of stable ventilation re- quires a temperature above 30 de- grees F. to keep air in circulation. A temperature above 30 may be main- tained in g good stable in zero weather by packing the cows close enough to- gether. This is, of course, likely to lead to the old argument about the amount of air space required for anil mals, and this is Q subjectH that has never been settled to the satisfaction of dairymen, But good cowmen like to have the air changed whether there is much or little to change. These men make their stable ceiling low and are particular to have a good-sized COW in each stall.
 In building these stables in the East, dairymen are particular not to leave any lodges to hold dust. They use inside ceiling without beading and they paint the ceiling in such a way as to fill the cracks so far as possible, so the ceiling is smooth and alright For the same reason there are no window stools. There are no unnecessary pro-

OEFUNCT CONCERN

DIRECTORS OF LITTLE ROCK SHAVE COMPANY LOSE CASE
 ITO RECOVER DIVIDEND.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
1t Is Alleged When Defunet Concern Declared a Ten Per Cent Dividend 1t Was acknowledgment
 Aggregate $13,ooo.
Little Rock


 The Supreme Court affirmed judg- ments aggregating S13,000 against di- rectors and stockholders of the de- funct Little Rock Slave Company. One suit was that of the defunct State Ma tional Bank against the directors of the stave company, in which a judg- ment of $10,729, and interest, was ren- dered. The other suit was that of Wallace Townsend, trustee of the stave company, against the company's stockholders to recover a 10 per cent dividend.
 The staYe company, when it declar- ed the 10 per cent dividend, was in. solvent, it was alleged. At the same time the company owed the bank $10,- 729. The directors, including Adam C.. Penzel, Fred Rossner, l.. w. Cherry, R. R. Saddler and the estate of George Mclean, deceased, were sued and a Judgment obtained. MT. Townsend, acting as trustee of the defunct stave company, which failed in April, 1911, sued to recover the 10 per cent divi- dend, totalling S1,650, from stoekhold- CTS, setting up that the dividend should not have been declared because of the stressed financial condition of the company. His suit against the stockholders also was upheld.

School Election May 19.

Supplies for school elections to be held May 19 in counties not now un- der county supervision, to determine whether the county superintendent system shall be adopted, were sent out by the Department of Education. J. L. Bond, superintendent of public in- struction, said that at present only 24 counties have the county superintend- ent plan, but it is probable the number will be doubled in the coming election. Arkansas, MT. Bond said, is the only state in the United States which has not adopted statewide uniform county superintendency. In Arkansas over two-thirds of the counties employ county examiners, who work on a fee system and have very little jurisdic- tion except over examinations for teachers.

Floor Plan.

jections anywhere on the inside of the stable. The same idea is followed in the stall partitions.
 In this particular stable the only support to the ceiling is from the par tition uprights between the cows, which are cemented in the floor and fastened to the ceiling by screws through threaded plates. A loft over a stable like this is not used for any purpose except as an air space, and the air is changed by having window in each gable. The silos are placed between the stable and storage barn, with room for a feed carrier to pass through; this carrier track extends the whole length of the COW stable, and runs far enough into the storage barn to load the litter carrier.
 The value of this arrangement may be better understood by the study of one fact-that north of the forty-sec- ond parallel of latitude there is an average of only six weeks of good pas ture. There are droughts sandwiched in between late spring and early fall frost, so that dairymen are obliged to supply manager feed for ten or eleven months. In fact, some of the best dairymen don't depend on pasture, ex- cept to have run for the cows for exercise, fresh air and general health. Of course, they want cows to get some picking, and this Is necessary to in- duce the cows to travel about. But when 1t comes to actual feeding, the stable is depended upon in summer as we'll as winter. The storage of silage and the growing of alfalfa have brought about this change.
 The old plan of growing soiling crops Is not carried on to any great extent; labor Is too expensive. Silage and alfalfa are better and cheaper. At the same time, good cows appreciate feed once a day of green stuff. It may be clover. oats, succotash, alfalfa, or any other good forage crops, but this feed is given as an appetizer more than for the actual returns in milk de- rived from 1t.

The important development of dairy farming during the last decade is very forcefully indicated by the changes which have occurred in the stables used on such farms. In the improve ment of sanitary conditions around such stables, one thing at a time has been found wanting until the dairy stable has come strongly into the at- tention of farm-building architects, ventilating experts and equipment en- gineers causing 1t to be given a thor ough overhauling and redesigning. Several types have been established all of which aim to accomplish prac- tically the same thing. Primarily, the animals must be furnished the best possible conditions in which to live and, secondarily, the building must be easy to keep clean.
 This is an Easter COW stable It has some features which are different from other good stables, some of which are we'll liked by everyone who has tried them out.
 Where the winters are cold, as they are where dairying has been conducted to the best advantage, stable really should be built for warmth in winter and clean, airy coolness in summer.

Enthusiasm over the movement to raise food crops has reached high tide around Texarkana Meetings continue to be held in both Miller County, Ark, and Bowie County. Texas, at which ad- dresses are made by speakers whd have carefully studied the situation and who explain to the farmers tha vital necessity for raising more food and feed crops.
 Today Leo Krouse, leader in the movement. purchased 5000 bushels of Spanish. peanuts to be distributed among the farmers at actual cost for planting. Large quantities of sorghum seed, Sudan grass and velvet beans al- so have been purchased for the same purpose. It is said the farmers are fully alive to the needs that are be- fore them and each is determined to intelligently do his part in the great movement
 Mir Krouse and President Wilson and others of the Chamber of Con- merce have already raised nearly S15.- 900 with which to supply the farmers of the two counties with seed for planting, and they stand ready to raise a larger sum if necessary.
 A fine rain which fell will be of great benefit to the growing crops in this territory.

outside blinds, painted dark green. This is for the purpose of shutting it up dark after the cows are milked In the morning in summer. When the blinds are shut the stable is so dark that flies will not stay in it. Dairymen have taken lessons from good house. keepers in this respect. Flies will crawl out of very small crack to get from darkness to light. You can't shut flies out of COW stable, that is, you can't shut them all out; but it is possible to shut up stable like this so dark that they will all leave it be- tween morning and evening milking hours.
 Of course, the cows will carry flies in with them when they are stabled in the afternoon, and this cannot be avoided very well. However, some New York dairymen have dark pas sageways leading to the stables, where a good many flies are brushed off by the attendant as the cows pass in. One dairyman experimented with station ary brushes in a dark passageway, which is an automatic way of brush ing the flies off the cows as they enter the stable.
 Easter dairymen usually are well supplied with small hills or banks on which to arrange their stables, barn. yards, etc. For this plan, gently sloping bank falling away towards the south or southeast, is preferable. The north is usually protected by group of trees or high board fence.
 During the last ten years stables have grown in size and dimensions. Little cellar windows of meager sizes in lonesome connection have been dis placed by two sash windows, as care fully made and adjusted as the win dows in the house. The system of ventilation in this stable is a combina- ton system, with the ceiling openings that permit the ventiiators to carry off the warm air from the top of the stable in sumT1er.
