lumber Industry Bigqest Imployer.
That 73.2 per cent of the entire
labor employed in Arkansas is con
nected with the lumber industry is
the statement made in the October
15 issue of the Lumber Trade
Journal. The figures were com
piled from the reports of the Cen
sus Bureau, showing the develop
ment of the lumber industry in the
South from 1899 to 1909. The
publication gives the following
synopsis of the situation in Arkan
sas:
“The number of lumber manu
facturing plants was 1.697. with
32.932 wage earners employed.
This number was 73.2 per cent of
the entire labor employed in the
state.
“The figures show that Arkan
ssa ranked first in cutting gum.
giving 28.4 per cent of the total:
first in cottonwood, with 20.5 per
cent of the total: first in Ash. with
1 1.4 per cent of the total, and sec
ond in hickory, with 15.5 per cent
of the total. The yellow pine cut
amounted to 1.313.668.000 feet.
“The capital invested in sawmill
plantsjs given as $42,346,234: and
the expenditures are given as $34.
312,349.”
Young People Happily Married.
At 7:30 o'cclock. on Saturday
evening, October 19. at the home
of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
D. J. Bawcom. 25 C street, in the
presence of immediate relatives
and a few friends Rev. J. R. Rush
ing. in his usual pleasing manner,
performed the ceremony which
united in marriage Miss Estelle
Bawcom and Mr. George Emmett
Cox. The bride, who has resided
here about a year, is a charming
and accomplised young lady and
the groom an upright Christian
young man and both have a large
circle of friends who will join us in
wishing them much happiness and
posperity in their journey through
life. They will go to housekeeping
at once in the house formerly oc
cupied by Mr and Mrs. R. L. Lan
caster.
ting Skins Valuable.
For many years the people of
Arkansas have gone right along
paying for bacon rind at the same
price as the streaked meat, but the
cost of living is to be reduced that
much in the future, the luxury lov
ing automobilist being the direct
cause of this removal of so slight a
burden from the downtrodden pork
consumer.
To skin a hog was an unheard of
thing in Arkansas until this year,
but in the near future there will be
no other method of dressing hogs
according M. J. Seisel &. Co. ol
Little Rock, which concern pur
chases nine-tenths of the hides it
Arkansas. Within the past ft w
months this concein has purchased
a large number of hog skins, and
has gone into the market for such
quantities that the butchers arc
finding it more profitable to skin
their hogs than to sell the rind as
good meat. The demand for hog
^.kins. which are as tough as t! e
snout of the porker, for automobile
tires, is growing so rapidly that the
hog must work overtime in the fu
ture,supplying skins for the market.
State Fair School tor Uoys and Girls.

THE TIOWERS Of STATES.
As you probably know, almost
every state in the Union, has its
favorite or state flower, says the
New York Sun. These flowers are
sometimes official; that is, they
have been adopted by the state
legislature, but the majority of
them have been selected by the
votes of public school teachers.
Some again have n^> official st ir, i
ing. but are generally recognized
and accepted as the state flowt r.
Here is the latest list;
Alaska Forget-me-not.
Arkansas Apple blossom.
California Golden poppy.
Colorado Columbine.
Connecticut Mountain laurel.
Delaware Peach blossom.
Florida Orange blossom.
Idaho Syringa.
Illinois Violet.
Iowa Golden rod.
Kansas Sunflower.
Kentucky Golden rod.
Louisiana Magnolia.
Maryland Blank-eyed Susan.
Maine Pine cone.
lvucmgan adpic oiossom.
Minnesota Moccasin.
Missouri Golden rod.
Mississippi Magnolia.
Montana Bitter root.
Nebraska Golden rod.
New Mexico Cactus.
New York Golden rod.
North Dakota Wild rose.
Ohio Scarlet carnation.
Oklahoma Mistletoe.
Oregon Oregon grape.
Rhode Island Violet.
South Dakota A; emone patens
Texa; 3lue bonnet.
Vermont Red clover.
Washington Rhododendron.
W >st Virginia Rhododendron.
Wisconsin Violet.
Wyoming—Gentian.
As boys and girls should all
know the flowar of the state they
live in suppose you pick out yours
and then look up the flower and
familarize yourself w ith its charac
teristics. so that if you see it some
day in a fir-off country when you
get older an i travel about a great
deal you will be able to point to it
and say, “That is my state flower."
Possible Importance of Or.e Vote.
In th:s year 0f our Lord 1912.
when we have three university
graduates as candidates for the
highest office in the gift of the
American people, who knows but
that a single vote may prove to bo
the deciding factor in the contest,
remarks a writer in the Outlook.
But in order that we may not be
led to under-estimate the value cf
one vote, let us recall a case in
Doint. and one that actually oc
curred. in the state of Indiana be
tween I 810 and l 850.
In De Kalb county, when the
election day arrived, there was a
man who was in doubt whether to
go the mill or the polls. Finally,
after a certain amount of coaxing,
he decided that he would exercise
his right of franchise and vote.
He voted the Democratic ticket,
and a D :mcratic member of the
legislature was elected frr m of his
district bv a majority of only one
vote. That legislature elected a
U. S. senator, and by the vote of
the one member from that district
Mr. Hannegan was chosen.
Mr. Hannegan took his seat in
the senate, and was president of the
senate pro t^m when the vote was
taken for the annexation of Texas.
On the floor the vote was a tie. aneh
Mr. Hannegan's casting vote de
cided the question in favor of an
nexation. This action brought on j
the Mexican war. which has so
shaped the subsequent history of ■
our country. This illustration cer- j
tain 1 y brings before us an extreme '
case, but who knows when another
instance may occur proving the
high potential value of one vole?

The Barber.
By George Fitih. Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adams.

The barber is a combination har
vesitng machine and phonograph,
who reaps whiskers and distributes
information at the same time.
Without barbers, half of mankind
would trip on its mustaches going
upstairs. Likewise it would have
no means of learning that it is a
hot day that there is quite a politi
cal campaign on. and that its hair
is getting thin on top. sir.
Barbering was once a simple art.
The barber piled as much lather as
possible on his patron and then
scraped off his beard and ether
prominent features with a razor.
The victim holding a basin to catch
the debris. In those days it took
five minutes 'o get shaved and a
week to get over it. but times, hur- !
rah and alas, have charged.
Barbers are now antiseptic and
do not mangle th ir patrons while
beautifying them, but times is no'
longer an object with thc-m. Now
adays the barber mummifies his pt
tient in towels and cloths, and lays
him back in an operating chair.
Then he soaks a towel in red hot
water and coils it over the victim's
face.leaving one red nostril exposed
to breathe in steam. Then he reads
the merning paper and sharpens
razors until his patron’s face is so
thoroughly cooked that the whisk
ers will pull out a mere touch. Af
ter that he lathers him eight times,
massages him with his lingers,
wipes him off w’th a towe'. 'athers
him again, tells him the news of the
day and shaves him with a few deft
motions. Then he goes over his
face again after surviving hairs.
Then he asks him if he will have a
neck s have, hair cut, shampoo,
electrical massage, hair tonic, face
bake, hair singe, sea foam or full
bath. Then he tries out another
razor on him, washes his neck and
ears, an 1 anroints him with vase
line, camphor ice, arnica, witen ha
zel and cold cream, well mixed
with perfumery in cider to adver
tise the shop for the next three
hours. Then he fans the mixture
off, adjusts his eyelashes, bend his
! ears back, and combs his hair the
wrong wav with great care. Then
he lets him up and collects fifteen
cents, after which he turns him
over to the porter.'*'hn stabs him in
the neck with a whisk h^oom. gives
him back his hat witn * h ' ic-e
and collects another dime.
A barber is new one of the fin ■■ i
luxuries of the leisure class.but the
man who has to attend to his busi
ness and wait every day in a barb r
shop while several earlier birds are
g'ven the above course of treat
ment has little time left for th
higher pursuits of life. •
