Build Flats Where
 Children Are to
 be Given Welcome

St. Joseph, Mo. June 19. Walter r Fulkerson, St. Joseph banker, is building a row of houses for rent to families in which there are some children.
 Newly married couples also will be allowed to occupy the houses, with the provision that if there are no children in their families at the end of one years residence they will be asked to vacate Whenev- CT child is born in one of his houses. MT. Fulkerson announced the rent for that month will be return ed to the tenant.
 The houses are in one of St. Joseph's most desirable residence districts.
 The decision to adopt this method of tenancy was reached, Mr. Full kerson said, by reading the number of advertisements in the daily pa- pers which carried the line, mo one with children need apply"
 "It's all wrong," the banker said. "There should be every incentive for rearing children, instead of trying to force families into race suicide"

and Views of Interest the Women Readers

] ful as well as serviceable and think we should undertake this verv scheme and our Arkansas-Lou which is one of the longest single dis tricts in the United States. travars- ing as it does the great productive valley of our state gives us an on- 'portunity along this line that we should be happy to take advantage of.
 There is one other experiment that I would like to see our women take up and that is the matter of our dirt reads. It has been stated that prop CT drainage and systematic drag ging of these roads after rains will make them as good as the hard sur faced roads and to demonstrate this. especially to our men folks, would suggest that the club women in each county and under their own super vision and work, as nearly as possible demonstrate this feature.
 Believing, as stated in the be- ginning of this article, that the mat ter of good roads is of the greatest importance at this time, have deem- ed it advisable to eliminate the oth CT matters coming under this head. at least for this year, with the hope that we will devote our time to this subject.
 Respectfully submitted,
 ETTA l.. BLOOM. Chairman of Conservation, Pine
 Bluff district.

BATHING SUITS OF TODAY PRESENT
 A RIOT IN COL E0RS
Handsome and Varied Are the Designs Seen
 Here

In these days of fair weather and sunshine, no sport is so popular as swimming, and after the swim, natu- rally the picnic lunch.
 And what riot of colors we find in the suits in our shops designed for the fair bathing girl! There are 'saucy suits of red and white, of black and gold, and purple and gold, and they are abbreviated - very; and they are sleeveless and al most skirtless but very comfortable for the swimmer-there is so little of the skirt that it doesn't hamper her swimming at all.
 The materials are wool jersey, taf- feta, surf-satin, and peau- de-soie and there are capes and caps to match.
 A very striking one noted was black satin, with cape, lined with Kelly green cap to match.
 Another was of black peau-de- soie piped with white, cape lined with broad striped black and white satin and white cap.
 To match a blue and gold jersey suit, was sunbeam cap, especially new as to shape.
 The picnic is lots more fun and less trouble when one can pack the lunch in one of the baskets designed for such outings. I noted one, lined in- side with felt and nickle, with special compartments for ice.
 And the new auto ice cream freezers do away with the drudgery, usually connected with cream-freezing and packing. The cream is put in the freezer, packed, closed and forgotten until time to serve ice-cream.
 And if the real pioneer spirit is in you, cooking supper on the grounds will appeal to you.
 I noted new aluminium cooking kit, which resembled the soldiers kits. Skillet, plate, cup, knife, fork and spoon are fitted, so as to make very small bundle.
 And these baskets, kits and freezers are very convenient to the motorist who goes on short tours through the country.

Princess Haider is brilliant an gifted young woman and has scored marked success in her appearances all over the United States; and her offer to appear before Pine Bluff audiences
 ill give her hearers a clearer and bet ter knowledge of the mystical land of the Syrian people. She was born at Baalbek, forty miles from Damascus, at the foot Of Mount Lebanon. Her early education was received at the American college at Beirut and Sidon and while there she conceived the idea of coming to America for a better and

 Mrs. Della Herring of Prescott. has been visiting friends and relatives at Bodcaw for the past week. She will return to Prescott soon
 Howell $. Herring our present coun- " clerk. made a brief business visit here this week
 Herman Herring also spent day or two with uS. We are always proud to have our friends. who have gone away. visiting as often as they wish.
 Miss Barbara Guttry is with Us still and Bryan Warmack says he hopes she will make her visit indefinite.
 Miss Mamie Douglas has won more hearts during her two weeks stay here than some who have been hero twenty six or thirty-two years
 We are proud that We have no moro illness than we now hame. which k very little. considering the past few weeks bad weather
 Harry says Bodcaw never held so many attractions as at present When we miss him from the streets we do not have to ask where he is.
 Alex. I have decided that I would go on yours and Lemolac's note. with Uncle Jim. so let's go
