CENSUS OF 1910
Will Show Wonderful Advancement In
Arkansas. Farmers Should Co.
operate With Census Officials.

The emphasis that the Census Bu-
reau IS giving the matter of securing
accurate Agricultural Statistics for
the 1910 census will be of great value
, to this state. Arkansas has made
wonderful strides during the past ten
years and every farmer in the state
| should heartily cooperate with the
census officials in affording complete
information.
Section $ OF the act authorizing the
Thirteenth Census provides that:
The schedules relating 10 agficul-
ture shall incluse name, color. and
country Of birth of occupant Of each
farm; tenure, acreage of farm, acreage
of woodland and character OF timber
thereon; value Of farm and improve
ments: value of farm implements;
number and value Of live stock on
farms and ranges: number and value
OF domestic animals not on farms and
ranges: and the acreages OF crops
planted and to be planted during the
year of enumeration, and the acreage
of crops and the quantity and value of
crops and other farm products for the
year ending December thirty-frst
next preceding the enumeration. 3"
The farmer can render the Census
Bureau and the public at large an In
estimable service by preparing an ac-
curate account of his farm operations
for the year ending December 81. 1908

AGAINST DOLLAR CHECKS
Law Does Not Refer to Checks in the
Ordinary Course OF Business.

Congress passed law at the last
session forbidding the issuance Of
checks for a less amount than 81, and
the law is being misconstrued by many.
1t does not prohibit the issuance of a
check for any amount in the ordinary
course Of business, and the govern
ment even issues checks Of this sort
for amounts not exceeding fifteen
cents.
The law Is intended to reach those
checks that are made in imitation OF
greenback and circ ulated as currency,
and not to cover such checks as are
sent in the ordinary course Of business
to pay accounts and TO discharge obli-
cations.
Checks for 10 cents or even for one
cent are just as legal and just as good
as far as they go as checks for $40. 900,
when they are issued by regular bank
depositors, and not issued in imita-
ton Of currency or TO circulate as such.
There seems To be general miscon-
ception Of the law, and instances have
been known of refusal to accept
| Checks for less than 81 for fear of yio-
| lating the law.

The General Assembly OF 1910 pass
ed al act authorizing special elections
to be held in Mississippi and st. Fran
els counties on the third Monday in
May, 1910, for the purpose Of adopting
or rejecting the question of levying
road tax in said counties, said act pro-
viding that il a majority OF the votes
cast at said election shall be for
road tax, the Quorum Court for each
of said counties shall fix the rate as by
law provided and levy same. The
special election was duly held in st.
Francis county, at which election 500
votes were cast for and "A votes
against said road tax. The Quorum
Court thereupon levied road tax of
three mills upon all taxable property
in said county, and this suit was in
stituted by James Russell, a taxpayer
in said county on behalf Of himself and
other taxpayers, praying for an order
restraining the extension on the tax
books and the collection Of said tax.
the order was granted, and this ap-
peal followed.
The constitution provides (article %,
section J. that question of road tax
shall be samitted TO the voters at the
general election for state and county
Officers, at which election. If a ma
jority OF the qualified electors of such
county shall have voted public road
tax, the same shall he levied by the
Quorum Court, etc. The legislature
therefore has no right TO authorize a
special election TO be held for this pur-
pose, and the election was void More
over a majority OF the qualified cleo
tors of said county did not vote for
said road tax at the special election,
nor at the general election first pre-
ceding said special election. The re-
cord shows that at the preceding gen
eral election for state and county or
GERS more than 1000 votes were cast,
whereas AT the special election only
S44 votes were cast.
1t Is argued that by virtue Of sec
tion 1896 kirby's Digest, the appellee
was not entitled to the equitable
remedy by injunction, but that he
should have appeared before the coun-
ty court and objected to the levy Of
the road tax. But this court holds
under section 10 OF article Is OF the
constitution, and section 1886 of kir-
by's Digest. he did have the right to
an injunction against the assessment

A LEAR MIRO THE DARK.

A young man of Chicago has sued
bis wife for divorce because they quar-
relied over the kind of meals she served
| him.
He wanted chicken dinners every
day. He said he was willing to put
up with cereals and coffee for break
fast and take his luncheon downtown,
but contended for chicken dinners in
the evening
During the wife's testimony the fact
was brought out that the husband had
allowed his wife $3.50 week to keep
the house aud furnish the meals.
Unreasonable?
Certainly But this sort of thing.
strange as it may appear. has been
the cause of many modern divorce.
The average young man knows
scarcely anything concerning the cost
of keeping house. He fails in love
with pretty face or pair of eyes
and proposes marriage because he
wants the girl
1t is also true In many cSses that
the young woman knows little con-
corning household economy and per
haps has had no experience In buying
or In preparing food.
And so when this sert Of twain wake
up after marriage TO fpd that love In
q cottage is not what romance has
pictured 1t to be there is trouble.
Marriage calls for reimbursement.
And readjustment is irksome. 1t calls
for self sacrifice.
When the young husband finds that
the $3.50 per week ne paid for board
is not sufficient to buy chicken din
ners for two his love grows cold
And when the young wife discovers
that her husbands income will not
support her as she has been accus-
toned to live she repents her mar
riage
What is the cure?
The application of common sense to
matters Of matrimony.s The candidates
for marriage should take his bride to
be into his confidence as to his income
and discuss with her their plans for
making ends meet financially.
In almost every country except
America that is substantial part of
the matrimonial program.
In ali too many instances in this
country marriage is nothing more than
q leap IN the dark.
Therefore the statistics show that
ont of every twelve marriages there Is
one application for divorce.
One should not expect chicken din
ners on a bacon and liver income
Bread and cheese and kisses" is
good menu. but it should be uader-
stood that the husband must needs
hustle for the bread and cheese.
