Collectors Fees.

Attorney General Kirby in an opin- ion recently handed down as to tho compensation a sheriff or collector is entitled to for collecting revenue says that the law allows them commissions on the kind of funds they receive for taxes. His opinion Is as follows: The collector is to be allowed and paid commissions in kind of the funds col. leeted. For the first 3l0,000 collected, per cent: for all sums over $10 900 and under $20,000 collected, 3 per cent; for all sums over $20.00O col lected. per cent. Thus. if the whole revenue collected shall amount to $0O,000 in one year. he is to be allowed on the first $i0.O00 per cent, $500: on the second $10.000 per cent, $500; on remaining $40,O0O per cent, $500. In all, $l,600 dollars, or an average of 2.66 2-3 per cent on the said $60,00 He also Is allowed the same fees for making distress and sale of goods and chattcls for the payment of taxes as are now or hereafter may be allowed by law, to sherifrs for making levy and sale of property on execution and tray. cling fees, to be computed at 50 cents for each delinquent visited"

Four Counties to Be Heard From.

The sheriffs of II counties in Ar. kansas have made their annual set. dement's in full or in part with the state auditor. The collectors who have made no settlements this year are those of Cross, Little River, Poinsett and Sebastian counties. Quite a number owe small balances. which is usually the case every year. and which Is unavoidable. The larg- est balance due on an unpaid settle ment Is by the collector of Conway county, who has paid about $1,000 on collection of about $20,000. The law requires the collector to settle with the auditor within 15 days after he has made settlement with the County Court, and the County Court meets everN year for the purpose of making this settlement on the first Monday in Duly.

Prevent Boys from Buying Whiske,

Prevent Boys from Buying Whiskey.
 Postof:ce Inspector Bassett has discovered that in many parts of Arkansas boys are buying whiskey by mail. Many boys secure money or ders and send them to wholesale liquor dealers, and the latter, not knowing by signature whether the person ordering the goods is a man or boy, sends the order as requested by the letter. The government off cials seem to have no way to get at such cases, but are making every effort to do so. It is a violation of the law to sell whiskey to minors, but it appears that the law is being violated daily with the assistance of the Postoffice Department.

owing to the rapid manner In which
forests are being moved down to
secure wood pulp for paper making
small army of experts were at
work, hunting for some abundant
material like swamp or prairie grass
that would be suitable for paper
making. Long ago the supply Of wal
nut lumber for furniture was prac-
tically exhausted and oak has large
ly taken It's place. For some time the
turpentine makers have been puz-
zled to find raw material to meet the
growing demands Of their trade
which threatened to make serious
inroads on the pine forests. The
trees were being used much faster
than they could be grown and this
meant disaster. Then attention was
turned to the refuse of the forests
already used and experiments were
made which demonstrated that the
stumps of the pine trees, which had
originally been passed over as not
worth the trouble Of digging out,
were saturated with raw turpentine.
These stumps Immediately took on
q commercial value which will fur
nish small fortunes to the men who
own them. In some cases the inter
esting question has been raised as to
whether the stumps were a part of
