EARL BROWN TELLS ABOUT WASHINGTON
PULASKI COUNTY TEACHER GIVES AN INTERESTING DE- ScRIPTIoN OF THE MA
 TIONAL CAPITOL.
Washington, D. G., 42 G. S. w.

Editor and Readers Pulaskian:
 This is a beautiful day and as We promised, will tell you something of the city of Washington.
 As you all know it is the capital of the United States. It lies on the left, CT east bank of the Potomac River, 15G miles from Chesapeake Bay and 1S; miles from the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated in the District of Colum- l.a, which eoves an area of about 70 square miles. The eastern branch of the Potomac joins :he larger stream and forms the southern boundary of tLc city. Rock Creek, fine little stream, running between high, pie tr1esque banks, is the northwestern boundary. Naturally the location was not beautiful, but the mingling of low, level lands with hills and streams gave an opportunity for building one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
 The plan is unique. and though the growth has not been in accordance with expectations, yet the city has kept largely within the limits of the original scheme. The capitol is the center of the great design. It stands cn hill in the center of park, the sides of which face the points of the compass. From the middle of the four sides of the square extend four great streets, which separate the city into quarters, known as North West,

C. N. ALEXANDER SAYS
 RAINS REDUCE COTTON

c. N. Alexander, a planter at Gal loway, says the rains will reduce the cop, and that there will be no more white cotton this season, with possi- Fly an exception in few states He believes the quantity will not be af- fected so much as the quality, but he says tEat in his section much cot ten was blown out on the ground last Thursday Some seed is sprouting in the boil, also, caused by the rains which have continued over six or sew en days. MT. Alexander says perhaps rot more than 25 per cent of the crop has ben picked, and only 2,OO0,- coo bales have been ginned this year against 100000 bales of cotton ginned at this time last year.

North East, South West and South Fast. These four streets are known as North and South Capitol and East end West Capitol streets. The streets II ming parallel to East and West Capitol street are named, both north and south, for the letters of the al- Fhabet, excepting A and ]. The streets parallel to North and South Capitol street are numbered consecu- lively east and west. Broad avenues. ramed for the states, traverse the city from northwest to southeast and from northeast to southwest. While at first glance the plan may seem confusing, yet it is an excellent one, t. afford ready communication to all Iarts of the city, and it lends itself admirably to making Washington Il great and beautiful residence city. Tn locating any place il is necessary, of course, to mention the quarter of the city. When this is done the loca- ton is very definite; for instance, 1850 F street N w, would be known te lie between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets on F Street. in the Northwestern section of the city.
 The North quarter of the city con. tains most of the business houses, the finest residence section and most of the government buildings. Pennsyl- vania Avenue, the principal business street, extends northwest from the capitol for about mile to the Treas ury Building; there it bends sharply tc the north and again to the west, Eere passes in front of the Executive Mansion and the State, War and Navy Building; beyond that it turns again to the northwest and extends into Georgetown, Seventh, Ninth an1 r. NV, are among the important business streets.
 Washington is connected with Bal timore GAO miles distant), Philadel- rh1a (136 miles), New York (226 rliles), Chicago (S11 miles) and oth- CT large cities, east and west by tRe Baltimore S Ohio, the Pennsylvania and others railroads. All trains are brought to the magnificent Union Sta. ton. north of the Capitol. Within the city, transportation is rendered easy by five systems of electric railways which run through all the principal streets and to the public buildings. Electric railways also connect Wash ington with Mount Vernon, Va; Alex an6ria, Va, Arlington, Va; Anacostia, Md, and Georgetown, a suburb.
 Parks and Boulevards.-Th park surrounding the capitol occupies six. teen city blocks, crcwning hill oS feet high, overlooking the west half of the city. It is laid out with drives and walks, bordered by magnificent trees and beautiful shruhbery, inter- spersed with beds, in which blossom. the flowers of the season. The small ornamental buildings, fountains and statuary lend a peculiar charm to the whole park From the west front Of the Capitol a person looks down upon the broad Mall, which extends about i mile, to the imposing Washington Monument, and is four blocks wide throughout.

BODY OF LITTLE ROCK BUSINESS MEN VISITS JoNEsBoRo AND RECEIVES A WARM
 WELCOME.
The Jonesboro Sun soys:
LITTLE ROCK, WELCOME!


 For the first time in history. a bCdy of Little Rock business men will visit Jonesboro for the purpose of establishing closer relations with this city and extending the hand of CO., operation. To say that they are well come to Jonesboro, Is putting it mild ly, for they are more than welcome. Nothing could afford Jonesboro busi- ness men more pleasure than to have these live wire, wide-awake hustling boosters, come and take look at the metropolis of Northeast Arkan- sas. The general impression over Ar kansas, among people who have never visited Jonesboro, is that 1t is only {. country town with few achievements, hut let a stranger come here with the wrong Idea, and he goes away singing praises of a city. which to him has been great surprise and the existence of such he had never dreamed of. Because of the geograph- ical location of Jonesboro, being far away from the center of the state, and the lack of adequate railroad con- rection between here and the capital, few Arkansas people have had chance to pay visits. Now better thing could not happen than for some of the states leading men to come here and see what the city really is. It will make believers out of them and they will exert no mean effort in telling the outside world. Welcome again, Little Rock boosters of the Trades Excursion" The arms of the city are outstretched to you and the Test Jonesboro has belongs to you night.

 The heavy rains do great damage to cultivated land, and all rolling lands should be terraeed before the fall ana winter crops are planted. farm level, small 6itching machine, which can be made at home, and q ecTaper should be used 10 properly construct terraces at the lowest cost. Broad embankments or terraces should be constructed with a fall Of say three to six inches per hundred feet to carry the surplus water out Of the field.
 Everybody is busy, but the use of the farm level, scraper and the cnching machine, which We can make if we have none on hand, will enable one to terrace large fields in a short time. It is worse than folly to try to locate terraces without the use of a farm level, as se1aper is necessary to fill in low places where dirt can not he thrown up ly tho blow or ditcher, and the small home made or bought CiGcher is of great value for construct ine terraces.
 The county agricultural agents are prepared to help out in this import ant work. We have the farm level, can make the diteher, you can fur nish the grader. teams and some help if you want to stop that constant drain on your soil fertility-wa washing away

Native and foreign trees, shrubs and plants beautify the walls and drives of the Mall, also, along whose west side are grouped several of the finest public buildings. Running north from the west end of the Mall are the executive grounds, a magnificent tract, which with the private gardens Of the White House, cover about twenty city squares. In front of the White House and across Pennsylva- ria Avenue is Lafayette Square, an ether exquisite park, adorned with fine statuary. The intersections of the avenues and streets throughout the city form squares anc circles which are public gardens filled with statuary, flowers and shrubs Other parks in different parts of the city afford resting places for visitors, and cut beyond Rock Creek is the great National Geological Park, which is among the greatest in the world. North of this extends Rock Creek Park, tract which is preserved in all it's natural beauty. In the spring when the foliage is fresh and the flowers in the park are in full blos- som, no more beautiful city is to be found, for the streets are all broad and open ard. in the better parts of the city, smoothly paved With as- rhalt.

ONE-MAN CARS
TO Be EXTENDED
Oklahoma Railway Company
to Revise Service,

One man service on certain car lines
in the city will probably be installed
in the near future, according to a
statement this morning by Charles
Hopes, operating manager OF the OK
lahoma Railway company
"The system has been under trial for
some time on the Eighteenth and
Robinson line" Hopes said, and
has proven very satisfactory Before
we can install such a system on our
lines We will have to add some equip
ment TO the cars such as air brakes
and additional automatic door de-
vices. We are now planning to make
these additions to some OF our cars
so that ii it is decided TO install one
man service on other lines We will be
ready 10 do 1t. -
On some lines the system will never
be practical. according to Hopes. On
the lines where the demand is fairly
constant and no, susceptible to big
fluctuations the small, one-man cars
can be run with good results, but on
the larger lines, as for example. the
S,ockyards line, where all the de-
maud comes at stated periods, it is
necessary TO use larger cars.
