The committee also consider ed the proposition of raising an en- dowment fund for Ouachita college and the erection of a conservatory of music at Central college in Conway. The amount of the endowment fund will depend upon the amount of bonus which will be offered by the Rockefel- Ter foundation.
 A committee composed of Rev. F. F. Gibson of Fort Smith, Noel Adams of Philadelphia and H. c. Fox of Pine Bluff, was appointed to draft suitable resolutions to pr. Hartzog, and the board spent fully 15 minutes eulogiz ing the retiring president. Rev. Ben Cox presided over the meeting and Rev. J. J. Hurt of Conway acted as secretary.
 Those in attendance were: John Ayers and Rev. F. F. Gibson, Fort Smith; H. c. Fox, Pine Bluff; M. P. Watt of Camden; R. N Garrett, Fl Dorado; c. w. Bruce, Rev. J. J. Hurt and J. F. Jones, Conway; E. M. Hall, Noel Adams and C. C. Tobey, Arka- delphia, and Ben Cox, w. F. Atkinson of Little Rock.

HOUSE AT WORK
 ON REVENUE BILL
SENATE LACKS A QUORUM
MEASURE MAKES RADICAL CHANGES IN
 REVENUE LAW.

Little Rock, March 7.-The senate did not work Monday afternoon on account of a lack of quorum. The greater part of the time of the house was taken up in a consideration of the general appropriation and the revenge bills in committee of the whole. The revenue revision bill by Bradham and Hurst provides for a complete reor- ganiZaton of the assessment and tax ation system of the state. It is a yoluminous document of 149 sections, recurring several hours to read, and nearly 100 amendments were offered to it before it was ordered engrossed. It is the bill for which the tax com sion stands sponsor, and which, it IS estimated, will increase the assessed valuation of the state from S3SO, ,0O0,- 900 to s1 ,200,0 0,000,000. The maximum rate of taxation is set at 10 3-4 mills, but that provision may be made for falling short of this figure, a gradu- ated scale of tax levy is provided. The school tax for the state is reduced from 3 to 1 mill, and the local school tax from ' to 3. But this may be raised if the total assessment should not reach the amount estimated by the commission.

 ENDORSES BILLS

Little Rock, March 7.-The execu- Union held a session in Little Rock Monday and decided to lengthen it un- til the members can mingle bit with the general assembly and let the mem- bers of that body know what laws the farmers of Arkansas desires to see passed. The board will have printed memorial which will be presented to the members of house and senate, in which these laws will be listed with the reasons the farmers give for wanting them passed. The first of these is a request for an ample ap- propiration for each agricultural school of the state. The farmers do not attempt to state what amount will be needed for each school, leaving that entirely with the general as- sembly. The other bills favored are the Davis fertilizer bill, the pure feed bill, the Hurst -Bradham revenue act, the pure seed bll The farmers also ask for a law to prevent the sale of beached flour in Arkansas, as well as selling adulterated seeds. F. w. Broadnax of Camden presided over the session, which is being continued today at the Gleason hotel, and the others attending are: L. M. Burge, J. A. Blackford, of Jonesboro, w. D.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

To the Officers and Members of Green Grove Lodge No. 107, F. and A. M.:
 Brethren The committee on me moral upon the death of Bro. D. Mon roe submit the following as a tribute of respect to his memory:
 Our deceased brother came to this state from Indiana in 1875 and locat- ed a few miles east of Conway on a farm. On June 1, 1887, he affiliated with this lodge and remained a mem Der until February ', 1903, when he procured dimit and removed to the state of Kansas. Again on March 23, 1907, he affiliated with this lodge and remained member until his death, which occurred on March 2, 1911, at his home in Conway after a few days illness of pneumonia.
 Bro. Monroe attended the meetings of the lodge fairly well for man of his age and the infrmities and af fictons brought on by hardships and exposures, seldom prevented him from attending the funeral of a deceased brother. He was full of the milk of human kindness and no one in need ever appealed to him in vain. In the battle of life he was his worst enemy but as Masons we throw the mantle of charity around his faults and view him and his life in the spirit of low | ing kindness and tender sympathy
 thus carrying out the Golden Rule in a spirit of toleration
 Industry was one of his unfailing qualities and a better manager or a finer provider for his family was sel- dom found anywhere. His word was as good as his bond and it was pleasure to him to pay a debt of grat- | itude, note or an account and he i frequently went out of his way to do favors to the needy. Naturally of cheerful and hopeful disposition, he
 looked upon the bright side of life and scattered sunshine along the path
 of life and tried to make others happy

Harem Skirt in Berlin

Berlin, April S.-(Special)- the harem skirt is expected to appear in this country with the daffodils and in almost as great numbers, none of the reports of it's having been seen out of doors can so far be regarded as authentic. A few pioneers have, however, caused mo- roentary obstruction to Traffic by posing in the new garment in the shop windows, and it has also been worn on the stage. Among it's protogonists on the boards was a Hamburg actress, who has been wearing it at a Dresden cabaret. Her propaganda has, however, been put an end to by the police, who, without going into deep questions of sartorial ethics. have simply pronounced that the harem skirt lis. not permissible at places of entertainment of that kind.

MAKE YOUR OWN
 HAIR TONIC
A SPECIALISTS ADVICE

Tn a recent issue the New York Her aid published special article on the care of the hair, in which was given the formula for a home made Hair Tonic which was highly recommended for it's remarkable growing prop critics, a s well as for stopping falling hair. revitalizing the hair roots. de- stroying the dandruff germ and re- storing gray hair to it's natural color This article was of special interest to me, as the formula was one which 1 myself have prescribed in countless cases with most astonishing results I remember one case in particular in which l prescribed it for a man who had been bald for many years and in less than two months after he began its use his head was completely cover ed with a luxuriant growth of rich, glossy hair. thus proving that hair can be made to grow on a bald head, not withstanding the opinion of many per- sons to the contrary.
 For the benefit of those who have not seen 1t before, l give the formula herewith: ounces of Bay Rum. 2 ounces Lavona de Composee, one-half drachm Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the Crystals in the Bay Rum and then add the Lavona de Composee; shake thor oughly and apply night and morning to the roots of the hair. rubbing into the scalp with the finger tips This preparation contains no coloring mat ter, but restores gray hair to it's natural color by it's action on the hair roots. If you desire it perfumed add one tea spoonful of To-Kalon Perfume. which Icombines perfectly with the other in- gradients and imparts a most pleasing scent.

Suffragettes in Turkey

Constantinople, April s.-(Special)-- Nothing could more strikingly illustrate the march of progress in Turkey than the agitation now going on for the en- franchsement of Turkish women from the antiquated customs and practices with which they have always been fettcred. Not so long ago it was impossible to see a Turkish woman's face when she was in the streets by reason of her being so heavily yelled. Now. however, the yell ings are so transparent that the contour and lnaments of the face are clearly seen. and in many towns women may be seen walking about without any covering at all. The western wave is gradually creeping over the east, and the day Is not far distant when the womenaof the ottoman empire will be as free as their sisters in other countries of the world.
