one of the most striking family groups,
and one which was favorite theme with
artists and photographers. The only son
of the Justice, Francis =. Mckenna, en-
tered West Point and made a brave and
honorab BILE record during the war with
Spain. He served in the Philippines with
distinction and had been promoted to
captains rank, which he resigned to take
up business career in ST. Louis.
Capt. Mckenna married the daughter
of Richard C. Kerens of st. Louis, and
her early death was a deep sorrow not
only to her own family. but to her hus-
bands. Mrs. McKenna was devoted to
her young daughterinlaw and the little
son, called Francis, is in a special way
dear TO his grandparents. He accom-
panied Mr.. kerens, now ambassador to
Austro- Hungary, and his frequent letters
and post cards to Justice and Mrs. Nc
kenna are among the most treasured of
their large correspondence. For a young

APPEALS TO BOYS TO
ORGANIZE CORN CLUBS
SUPERINTENDENT GEORGE B.
COOK URGES DIVERSI-
FICATION.

Little Rock, Feb ia new appeal
for the organization of county boys
corn clubs is being sent to county eX-
aminers, county officials and public
leading citizens of various counties by
George B. Cook, state superintendent
Of public instruction. Superintendent
Cook says the corn club movement is
not for the purpose of revolutionizing
agricultural conditions in Arkansas,
nor to dethrone King Cotton, but to
get ahead of the boil weevil, and get
the farmers of the state into the hab-
It of diversifying their crops, Super
ntendent Cook says that II. S. Mobley

organizer of the state, will be sent to
any county at any time if requested
to do so. Superintendent Cook says
it is not hard to get prizes for the
county contests, the merchants in all
counties now having boys corn clubs
contributing these, and he will gladly
send plans for this work if written to.
Superintendent Cook also calls atten-
ton to the big state corn contest, and
the several thousand dollars in prizes
which will be awarded there The state
official believes this circular will wake
up the few counties which have no
corn clubs, and make a big display for
the state exhibit to be held late in the
year.

COMMISSION WILL GO
AFTER MERCHANTS
SCISSORS TO BE ASkED FOR
BETTER MERCHANDISE
ASSESSMENTS.

Little Rock, Feb. 15.-Where rail
roads and corporations caught it
heavy during the last round of the
state tax commission, the merchants
of the state will get it next year.
Chairman Hampton of the commission
yesterday afternoon stated that it was
the opinion of the commission that
there are millions of dollars worth
of merchandise in the state, which
have never been on the tax books, and
the assessors of the various counties
of the state will be asked to look out
for this on their next round.
The commission has now the returns
from all counties with the exception
of Montgomery, but quite a few are
not accurate the returns being taken
from the assessors books instead of
the county clerks, and until the cor
rections are made, the commission
cannot give the accurate value of all
the taxable property in the state. The
returns which are in have been tabu-
lated and show the increase on farm
products and stock averages only
about 6 per cent, which is only a nat
ural increase, while the increase on
railroads and corporations is over 25
per cent.

PAY DAY DECISION
PLEASES employees

Little Rock, Feb. 15.- Employees of
corporations in this section are highly
elated over the decision of the supreme
court yesterday, in which the semi
monthly pay day act of the legislature
was declared constitutional. The de
cision was rendered by Justice Frau
enthal. and was so plain on the sub
ject that the corporations of the state
will hardly carry it further. The de
cision was rendered in the case of Ar
kansas Stave Co., of Craighead coun-
ty VS.. State of Arkansas. There We're
three counts to the Indictment, made
for the purpose of testing the law so
subterfuge in the future. The corpOr-
alton cannot hold back in any way
now, and pay their men but once a
month, unless the employe refuses to
accept monthly pay day. The
Arkansas StaVe Co. was indicted for
making an agreement with employees,
TO pay but once month, Tor falIlng TO
pay semi-monthly, and because en-
ployes, at it's instance, had refused to
accept money in the middle of the
month when rendered to them. The
first count was dismissed by the su-
preme court, which held that such a
contract entered into by the employe
would be without force, but the en-
ployer committed no criminal violation
IN making such contract. The second
count was sustained and the third was
reversed, because at no time can an
employer force money on an employe.
This puts it up to the corporations
now strong enough to suit any of the

HENDRIX VICTOR IN EIGHTH
DEBATE With OUACH|TA

chose the negative and her three rep
rescntatives produced strong argu-
ments against the subsidy bill. But
they were several points shy on de
livery, it was decided by the judges.
Probably the best address was made
by A. c. Maddox, the second speaker
for Hendrix, who has gained a state
wide reputation as an orator.
Judge w. E. Hemingway and Judge
Jacob Trieber voted that the Hendrix
debatcrs had made a better showing
while Judge U. NJ. Rose stood alone
for Ouachita. The judges graded 60
per cent on argument and 40 per cent
on delivery.
Long before the debaters appeared
on the platform the auditorium was
filed with noisy crowd of Students
divided according to the color of
streamers they wore. On the one side
were the Ouachita rooters, among
whom were many goods. Alumni from
the Arkadelphia college were also on
hand in force to help out the rooters.
There were about 75 supporters of the
Ouachita orators who made the long
trip to attend the debate.
On the other side of the room the
Hendrix delegation, about 300 strong
and consisting of both students and
townsmen from Conway, roared to
prowess Of Hendrix. The Hendrix
men came on special train from Con
way yesterday afternoon, bringing
along with them a number of young
women, many of whom are students in
the college. 1t seemed that every man
Gf the Hendrix delegation who did not
bring his best girl along had a girl
in Little Rock to accompany him to
the debate, and all were amply pro-
vided with the colors of the Conway
institution.
The Ouachita YELL reminding one
more of a Comanche warwhoop than
a college cheer, made up in noise what
it lacked in the number of voices to
produce it. The Ouachita men relied
mostly on the old "Boomalacka, boom
alacka, siss boom bah" nglomeration
of racket than any other noise produc-
er. This yell has been taken up at
various times by practically every col
lICro in the cOIlnt1.V since some in nSpired
student of Yale first perpetrated it On
the unsuspecting public.
The girls were there with the music,
even if their shrill voices did tend to
change the college roar into semi
shrek. Ouachita has spirited col
lege song, with an air well adapted to
d feminine voice.

This, it was explained by the en-
thusiastic student, meant that Hen
dirk was there to win.
The debaters were all young men
who had won their places on their re-
spective teams by proving their worth
in preliminary debates. On the Hen
dirk team J. @. Schisler, the first
speaker, is a Craighead county boy.
A. c. Maddox is from Faulkner coun-
ty. He was the winner of the inter
class debate at Hendrix last year. w.
B. Hubbell, the third Hendrix man,
is from Craighead county.
The Ouachta debaters, all picked
after winning honors in preliminary
debates, were w. F. Hall of Logan
county, H. L. Petty of Arkadelphia
and w. A. Jackson of Waldo
The judges were Judge w. f. Hem
ingway, L. NJ. Rose and Judge Jacob
Trieber, all of Little Rock. This was
the eighth annual debate between the
two colleges, the preceding contests
going to Ouachita four times and to
Hendrix three times.
J. @. Schisler, the first speaker for
Hendrix, declared that ship subsidy
was necessary for the building of an
auxiliary for the navy. He held that
the extension of American trade could
come from no other source. The run
ming of the fast mail lines on Ameri-
can ships to foreign countries, he ar
gued, was necessary to build up Amer
lean trade because trade follows the
mail. A ship subsidy, he declared,

CONWAY COLLEGES
Team EASILY WINS
RIVALS ARE OUTCLASSED
SCHISLER, MADDOX AND HUB
BELL WIN HONORS FOR
HENDRIX COLLEGE.

Tired but triumphant, with voices
worn to rasping whispers but with
faces flushed with victory, the special
train load of Hendrix roOters reached
Conway at / o'clock this morning,
proudly carrying with them the hand
some silver cup as the trophy OF the
eighth annual debate between Hendrix
and Ouachita colleges.
The victory, according to those who
listened to the debate, was decisive,
and there was never question IN the
minds of the audience as to who had
won, after the speeches had been de-
livered. Not only in the argument
and delivery of its representatives, j.
@. Schisler, A. C. Maddox and W. B.
Hubbell, did Hendrix outclass its foe
of old time, but in the size and enthus-
iasm of its crowd the Conway institu-
ton had its Arkadelphia rival "back
ed off the board"
So great was the enthusiasm still
lingering with the Hendrix students,
that after chapel exercises this morn
ing the faculty decided to abandon any
attempt at recitation work and all
classes were dismissed. The three
representatives of Hendrix have been
receiving congratulations from every
one throughout the day.
The following account of the debate
is taken from this mornings Arkansas
Gazette:
Hendrix college defeated Ouachita
in the eighth annual debate between
the two colleges in the Y. NJ. c. A.
auditorium last night. Hendrix had
the affirmative side of the question,
"Shall Congress Enact Ship Subsidy
Bill?' and two of the three judges
decided that the Hendrix debaters had
presented their argument in better
form and with more conclusive rea-
soning than had the men from Ouachi-
ta Each college has now scored four
victories in the series of annual de
bates.

rooters together, had enough in num-
