such EXPIRE ssion of sentiment from the

Mills Alden, writing in the August num-
Der of the magazine, attributes this at

Those TRY prodigai boys on the cover,

play and humor of American life. There

Annual Reports Blocked.

The state printing and binding fund is now reduced to about $7,000 or $S,000 and there is reason to believe that the fund will not besable to pay for the publication of allst the biennial reports of the departments. If there is not enough money to publish gall de- partmental reports the printing board, composed of Acting Governor X. o. Pindall, State Auditor Avery E. Moore and Secretary of State Ludwig, may not publish any of them. In such event publication will have to be post poned until the legislature acts. Mean while data for reports will be secured and complied ready for publication.
 State Printing Clerk Earle Hodges states that it requires about $7,000 or $S,000 to publish the biennial re- ports of all departments. A great part of the money now in the treasury will be used in printing letterheads, envelopes, stationery of all sort, tax books, receipt books and other mate rial
 The number of supreme court re- ports per annum has been more than twice as great in the p1st two years, compared with previous similar peri ods, and NIr Hodges says this is one reason for tho funds low state. The cost Of printing has also increased.

S24,GCo Tax Money Due.

Rufe McDaniel, state corporation clerk In the office of the secretary of state, says the corporations of Arkan- sas are slow in paying in their fran chise tax. Tie tax must be paid by July or, under the law, the charters will be forfeited. Mir. Mcdaniel, in referehce to the matter, said:
 We have already collected about $29,000 of the franchise tax, and there is still about $24,000 to be paid in. am a little surprised that more com panies have not paid, as the time for paying expires on the last day of this month, which only gives 10 more days. On the first day of July all corpora tions that have not paid will, under the Coombs act, have their charters forfeited It is Mr Ludwig's sincere de- sire that all the companies pay, and that there will not be a single forfeit ure. However, it is the law that works the forfeiture and the secre- tary of state has no discretion in the matter whatever. However, we feel that practically every dollar will be paid in before the first, and we are getting ready for a tremendous rusn for the next 10 days"

Bankrupt Companies Taxed.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby has rendered an opinion that incorporated companies, even though in the hands of receiver, must pay franchise tax and make out antitrust affidavits as long as the corporations are in op- eration.
 MT. Kirby was asked whether cer- tain patent medicines would be affect ed by the opinion which he rendered Wednesday, that all dealers selling any beverage containing alcohol, must pay license. He stated the rule would apply to all compounds when they were sold as beverages. Patent medicines, however, are not within the scope of the opinion unless it can be proved that, in any case, the com- pounds were sold as a beverage on ac- count of the alcohol contained

No One In Pest House.

Because there are no patients suf- fering with contagious diseases at the city pest house on the Rock Islana road, bids for screening the doors and windows will be thrown out when pre- sented at city hall.
 The city fathers think that, with no disease in sight, it will not be nee essary to cover the windows and doors with screens. The idea advanced was to prevent flies and insects from car rying the disease from the pest house into the homes of citizens.
 Dr. O. K. Judd says the last person afflicted with contagious disease was removed last Monday, when small pox patient was taken away.
 ''If we screen the windows now, it will be like locking the door after the horse has left the stable" said Dr. Judd. AS matter of fact, we have very little smallpox in the summer. and in the winter it is not necessary to screen doors and windows"
