MANY WOMEN ON FARMS
ARE NOW MAKING RUGS
Crazy Quilt Work Also Helps Ma
teriaIIy to Increase Fam
lily Incomes.

With the return to vogue of the rag
rug and crazy quilt, farm women in
many sections of the country have
found another means Of adding to the
family income. Thus the art of max
ing these rugs and quilts, started in
the rural sections in Colonial days, re-
turns again to the farm.
Agricultural Department agents say
women and girls themselves started
the regeneration Of the art, and now
extension agents are spreading and
encouraging it.
In Arkansas and Mississippi espe-
cially, the farm women have taken up
the rug making One agent recently
reported a woman near Little. Rock
was devoting her spare time to max
ing pulled, or hooked, rugs, in designs
she took from nature herself, using
flowers and forest leaves for her mod
els, and is finding a ready market at
good prices for her output.
In addition, many of the popular rag
rugs are being made, including the
braided and crocheted types.
Crazy quilts and counterpanes of ap-
plique work are also being revived
The women, however, are not confn-
ing their efforts toward the manufac-
ture Of the articles, but are teaching
their neighbors and have even organ
lied classes for the renewal Of the
pioneer art.

AMATEUR RADIO AND IT'S RE-
LATION TO THE LISTENERS In

Radio amateurs and " listeners in =
are drifting farther apart. In order
| to keep them together | have been
asked to explain to Moscow what an
"amateur is and then give the plans
| to keep them in harmony.
Many people think amateur means
boy In knee pants fooling with junk
that he calls radio apparatus. 1t does
not mean that, it means much. 1t
means boy or man experimentef
and skilled operator who do message
transmittingfwitho thought of money
but for the " love Of radio"
There are $4,000 licensed amateurs
who belong to league, organized by
Hiram Percy Maxim, OF the Maxim
|silencer, called the American Radio.
Relay League" A few of the world
known amateurs are Paul F. Cooley,
Edwin H. Armstrong and Marconi can
be- called an amateur.
The A.R.R.L. is doing little stunts
such as relaying millions of messages
free of charge and are conducting
tests with England. France, Hawaii.
Porto RIGA, and South America Three
dozen American amateurs were heard
in France and England last year
Tests are now being conducted in
order that more stations may get
across. Records have been made and
broken in time for relaying messages
across the United States. Two months
ago the record for relaying a message
from Hartford, Conn, to Seattle and
back was six minutes and seventeen
seconds. That record was broken two
weeks ago by AVN, station in
Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. The time was
four minutes, seventeen seconds, only
it was to FAC. in Hawaii and back

shows we are advancing rapidly. We

Planters Hotel here January l, Will

plete with tradition Of the middle

The old Planters House." in which
history has been made, will be con-
verted. into an office building.
Typewriters will click in rooms
where presidents slept, office boys
will hustle across floors once strobe
by stately banqueters, and business
men will plan battles of dollars in
rooms in which political battles have
been won and lost, and In which the
! apture of Camp Jackson was planned
| in 1861.
The Planter; one of the best known
hotels in the south and middle-west,
was built by Evarist Maury in 1871.
! 1t then was two story frame struc-
ture, and it early acquired a reputa-
ton for the fine "oats and hay :,
given guests horses. The name was
changed to The Planters House" in
l1841, when four story structure was
built at cost of 100000 This was
acclaimed a "veritable palace In
1894 the present structure was COM
pleted at cost of $1,S00,00 under its
original name, Planters Hotel"
In the 40's and SOS the hosiery was
the center of the social life of this
section. Planters of the north and
south brought their families here for
the winter months to taste the joys
of the hotels hospitality. The women,
with their hoop skirts, gathered in
circles in the parlors to quilt and en-
broider.
After supper the tables were cleared,
the carpets folded, the gas jets in
their huge glass chandeliers lighted,
and the grace and beauty Of Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama
assembled for the minuet and the
Virginia reel. There were northern
ers too, but not in proportion to the
number of southern guests.
Stirring moments were brought to
the Planters by the Civil War. Here
Frank p Blair and Nathaniel Lyon
conferred preceding the capture of
Camp Jackson, May 10, 1861. On June
II, 1861, the conference which re-
suited in the fight of brother against
brotherS in Missouri was held at the
Planters, when Lyon dramatically de-
clared his loyalty to the north, and
departed to enlist Missourians in the
Federal army
The Planters became political
battle ground with the reconstruction
days, and the hostelry has had a
generous share in every political cam
paign since 1870.
Old records show that such person
ages as the following signed the re-
gister of the hotel: Presidents Lin
coin, Grant Cleveland, Roosevelt, and
Taft, Martin Van Buren,, King Edward
VII, then Prince Of Wales, Charles
Dickens, Jay Gould, and William F.
Cody.
Writing of the hotel In his Ameri-
can note, Mr.. Dickens said:
AS one enters the Planters now he |
sees a large key above the marble
desk 1t is ~ fec long, and ira
dition says it was used to open the
first door of the Planters. 1t will |
be used in ceremony, in closing the
hotel at nj dnight, December 81. Be-
low the. key is a gilded horseshoe,
welded by Bob Fitzsimmons, the /
fighter, as a. token Of good luck to
the hotel.
A number of the present employees
have been with the hostelry for 25
and 30 years.
