British Plan to Harness Winds.

A plan to harness the winds and
make them produce electricity for
rural districts has been presented to
the British ministry of agriculture The
scheme involves the erection on hill
tops of low buildings from the sides
Of which will project huge wings.
These wings will be spun by the wind
horizontally just above the ground.
Proponents Of the plan assert that
unlimited amounts of electricity can be
obtained in this way at a minimum
cost. Government officials are testing
the scheme, and if it proves feasible,

Motortruck Used by Loooers.

Nothing is more characteristic Of
logging as it was done from 1900 to
1900 than the sight of a huge truck,
piled high with logs, and hauled
through the muck and over the cor
duroy of the woods trails by four, six,
OF even more husky horses. If there
is one place in the world where a
truck might be expected to fail, 1t is
here. But with the right kind of equip
ment it seems just as easy to get the
logs out by gas as by horse; and there
need be no argument over the PROPOSE
ton that, If it can be done at all by
gas, it can be done more cheaply so.-

Telephone Manners

and comfort as. the telephone. Yet it

an instrument of assistance into a
device of diseourtesy and ukindness.
We are all too familiar with the sit
uation decried by j. M. Keynes, the
well-known English economist, who
wrote recently:
At no time during the day can ]
rely on a quarter of an hours unin-
terrupted work. Any unconcentrat-
ed person who finds it easier to ring
up than send post card, any hostess
making up her party, any tourist who
thinks he would like a few words
with me, is entitled by the existing
conventions, and is able, suddenly and
at any hour, to interrupt my business
md make me attend to theirs.
Mr.. Keynes has remedy for these
telephone disasters, and one that we
could wish every user Of the telephone
would adopt
/ suggest that to ring up private
house, in any case in which post
card or letter would do equally we'll,
should be thought inconsiderate; that
stranger should have no more right
to use the telephone of a private
house than to open the front door;
and above all, that it should be bad
manners, except among friends, to
issue an invitation on the telephone.

Spread Of Irrigation Work.

Great progress has been made in the
art of irrigation since the first crude
works built 60 years ago, according to
the annual report of the bureau Of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In 1920 the area
irrigated in the United States amount
ed to approximately 100000 acres
and the annual gross returns from irri-
gated lands is now nearly half a bill

Counties such as ella county, Ariz.,

Natal Grass Grown in the South.

Natal grass, native of South Africa
and now grown extensively in Austria
liza, has been found an excellent hay
crop for the sandy lands of southern
Florida and along the Gulf coast to
southern Texas. In this region, on the
proper soil, the plant reseeds itself and
will continue producing a good yield
without reseedlng, even though the
same land is also used for the produc-
ton of a winter crop, such as oats or
truck.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Nov. 5.-Little Rock is
afflicted with a new disease. II is con-
tagious and is becomming extremely
yirulent. No anti-.oxin has been dis
covered for il as yet. One Of the symp-
toms Of the disease is that its victims
never retire before late hour in the
morning, and on the following day tell
wonderful stories of their experience.
The disease is known as radioitis.
Everybody listening in, amateurs and
experts are spending all their spare
time and money in the installation Of
outfits. Radio publications have an ex-
ipnsiye CLIENTELE and the daily papers
have special departments set apart for
Radio news. The fad has developed
during the last few months into one of
ihc most popular diversions the peo-
pie have ever known, Roller skating,
tangoing. bridge whist and even joy
riding are taking second place with the
genuine radio fan.
There is no accurate census Of the
number Of victims in the city and it
has been suggested that radio club
be organized here TO bring together
those who are interested in this mod
ern miracle The enthusiasts believe
that such a movement would be popu-
lar and that It would result in a short
time In a state radio convention. This
could be made one Of the most interest
ing occasions by providing elaborate

Some interesting figures on the
ownership Of automobiles in Arkansas
have been compiled by W.sL. Owen of
the Owen-IIill Motor Company, state
distributors of the Hupmobile and

automobile in every town under 1000
population, including residents of farms
for 20 people out of each 1000. For
every 1000 persons in Arkansas cities
Of 1000 or over there are 100 people

pie for every automobile in cities of

ownership Of cars in cities of 1000 or
over and forty-fifth in country owned

than Arkansas. In the whole United

The Arkansas Cotton Growers Co
operative Association has sold very
little cotton this year and is waiting
the psychological moment to enter the
market. Two small lots of cot on
have been sold by this Association,
one bringing about % cents and the
other about 3S cents per pound. At
the time this cotton was sold the price
was considerably above the market.
Many reports have been circulated, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Eldridge, that the Asso-
citation has sold cotton under the mar
ket, which of course is a misstatement.
The Association has this year about
10000 clients, which is almos. double
the number in 1922. The total bales
of cotton handled this year viii hard.

Some wonderful things have been re-
ported by Little Rock radio bugs. They
