be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions Clean" DIRTY" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board Of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands Of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board Of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health of the city
The board Of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
to afix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean" viii not be
placarded, but those in which sanitary
conditions are disrcgarded win be des-
ignated as dirty or "filthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions
upon which the pIacards will be re-
moved.
As the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
places OF business until the board is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down tie p!acs.T,is, the extreme pen
atty Oh the law can be enforced.

WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That Is Rooted May Easily Be
Converted into Sun Psrlor During
the Winter Months.

A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beauty Of
most any home. In order to serve the
best purpose 1t should be wide and
built around several sides Of the house.
This will insure a cool. shady spot 10
hang the hammock on a hot summer
day for rest and reading A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
may be as deep as u feet. II IS not
necessary to have all the piazza Gov
cred with a roof. 1t is a good idea
TO have the part which is to be rooted
over so constructed that by the erec-
ton OF glass sides a sun porch can be
provided for winter use. In the win
ter a piazza which Is entirely rooted
tends to shut of light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be hlghs extending to the bot
tom Of the second floor windows.
Tn the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
Teilis, which on nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
ActiHb VI tiVatHt5o olltIWihE tttd-
stoned. It Is good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that 1t should be
made SO as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza Is some
times a discomfort from the presence
Of flies or a swarm of mosquitoes or
moths.
For a bungalow or summer cottage
near the salt water screens made Of
copper wire are best as they corrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put in use so that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up in the winter
the window sashes should be
painted with black paint over the red
wash which Is put on in the fac
tory and has little preservatiye quail
ity In 1t.

TWO BIG SHOWS COMBINED


The most important event in the cir
Gus business in the last third OF a cen
tnry is the combining Of the Gollmar
Bros. Circus and the Jas. Patterson
Trained Wild Animal show
These two big amusement enterpris
es well known. and famous for their
cleanliness, honesty and their high
class business methods. have been in
close but friendly competition for
years. Their enormous growing pop
ularity and the almost forced necessity
Of enlarging these two already big and
popular shows, brought about much
thought and consideration to their
owners, and it was at last decided up
on that there was much truth in that
old saying, In Union There is
Strength" SO these progressive and
worlds famous showmen have consol
idated They have combined two OF
Americas greatest shows-James Pat
terson Trained Wild Animal Show
and Gollmar Bros. Big Three Ring
Circus. and will give a grand free
street parade and two performances

RrIstoI Has cIty Manaaer.

The adoption Of city manager by
the town of Bristol, Tenn, with a
POPULATION Of about 10000, may not be
of the highest importance from a POI
litical viewpoint except for one reason
lit adds to the evidence that the city
manager idea is spreading, leaving the
Inference almost a certa. aty that 1t is
a question Of time only until adminis-
tration by city manager is taken up by
the biggest cities as well as the smaller
towns. The choosing of a manager for
Bristol for a term Of three years prom
ises that the plan is to be given a fair
test which it should have If any COM
parison that will be satisfying is to be
made between the towns old political
system and the new. Unless a man.
ager is allowed the necessary time to
work reforms and present results, the
handicap would probably be too heavy
and In case Of failure would register
a mark against the city manager un-
5asily.

Labor will be scarce. Every man
who takes up arms lessons the
labor. Don't make the mistake of
planting more than you can cult
vate. Plant less, and if you have a
surplus of labor you can work your
crop better, and longer, and it will
make bigger yield. This is COM
mon sense. and you should heed it.
From s to 10 million dollars are
lost in Arkansas every year by
farmers overcropping and under
working. Decrease the acreage; in
crease the yield.
5th Plant good stuff. Get good
seed. The prices are going to be
high and you can afford to buy good
seed and raise the best.
9Th. Get away from the crop
mortgage and keep away from it.
1t is neither your friend nor bene-
factor, but only a poor makeshift.
9TH. Plant plenty of COW peas
and COOLERS, both of which are good
for food, good for feed and good for
lind.
9th. Make plenty of hay and
save it, for it is good and cheap feed.
9th. Remember that a pound of
pork is worth as much or more than
pound of cotton; that you can buy
the cotton with the pork easier than
you can buy the pork with the cot
ton, and that you can eat the pork
and can't eat the cotton.
