Valuable Stones Being Found in This
 State Which Sell High.

 Wport-NeWpOrt pearl buyers de- clare that the past few days has brough more valuable pearls 10 the market than any previous month for the past two seasons. Many large and beautiful pearls have been given up by the White and Black rivers, thought more valuable pearls to the of either stream to change the beds of mussels. As a rule the good seas ons in pearling follow the fall of the river after highwater periods.
 Aside from the purchase of a pearl found by Charley Burdett by William Corley for $1,25O, which was found near Calico Rock, and is 72-grain ball pearl, many other offerings have been purchased. D. B. Stubblefield this week bought 24-grain button pearl found near Augusta for $500, and also secured 48-grain pearl found in Black river near Corning. Other buyers are also reported to have se- cured valuable pearls. A New York buyer secured 14grain pearl here
 
 found two pearls. One was a 25-grain and the other weighed 15 grains, be- ing egg shaped. Muck shells are bringing $20 per ton and sand shells as high as $50 per ton, which is caus- ing many farmers, since crops are laid by, to turn their attention to pearling.
 On White river between Jackson port and Batesyille, where the boats cannot handle the shells except in high water the industry is attracting hundreds of farmers, for the shells are being hauled to Newport by wagon. It is an easy matter to load ton to the wagon. This part of the river has not been worked so closely and the water being low, the boats are loaded with mussels by men in the river. who use ordinary seed forks and then tow their load to some boil ing vat along the bank

 Miles of Pikes.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little RoclS.-Pulaski county in the year beginning September 1, 1911, and ending September 1, 1912, constructed under the supervision of County Judge Joe Asher twenty-five miles of i'm proved water bound macadam high ways and spent in paying for this work and in repairing and rebuilding a number of old roads more than $161 1000. These figures are available from special report compiled by Judge Asher.
 Taking lead over all the other counties in Arkansas and standing seventy-fifth among the counties of the entire United States, according to the statement of United States High way Engineer H. E. Burrell, Pulaski county is progressing rapidly in the line of road improvement According to Judge fishers report more miles of solid water-bound macadam bikes are being constructed now than ever be- fore in the history of this political precinct.
 Not only is Judge Asher building new highways, planning them so that a general permanent system will re- suit, but he is reconstructing the work of previous years. Solid lines of permanent pike are built with a view to use and service for generations to come. Many of the old crooked by paths that lead through the low places of the county are being strengthened and reconstructed so that they form connecting links in the great chain of roads that will eventually honey comb the county.

 Democratic nominee for governor, spoke at the big barbecue here Thurs day before an audience of 1000 peo- pie, declaring his opposition to state wide prohibition, the Turner-Jacobson bill and Act No. 3, and clearly defin- ed his position on all questions before the people. The greater portion of his speech related to his stand on the pro hibition question, in which he reiter- ated his support of local option.
 Congressman Robinson discussed the needs of the educational institu- tions of the state, recommended re- adjustment of the states financial condition and severely criticised the Turner-Jaeobson bill. He also ex- pressed the opinion that local option will more nearly regulate the whiskey evil than statewide prohibition, and discussed the record of the Republican party. He concluded with a tribute to his home friends who largely gave the picnic in his honor, and referred feelingly to the struggles of his early
 
 speech several hundred of his friends and neighbors passed in line across the platform and shook hands with him, and he later held open house at his home on Front street.
 Regarding the prohibition question, MT. Robinson said:
 "A proposed act repeating existing laws for the suppression and regula- tion of the liquor traffic, and provid- ing for statewide prohibition has been initiated and it will be the duty of the electors who vote in the September election to pass on this subject. It is neither party issue nor political question. However, since it is one of the most important matters to be de termined in the election, 1 shall not corning it. Viewing the subject sole iy from the standpoint of the public interest, l do not believe statewide prohibition is practicable at this time I have no concern for the liquor busl ness, neither do I condone drunken ness.
 We are concerned to approve the best means of regulating the liquor evil know of none better than IS provided for by our existing laws We have excluded the sale of liquor from all the counties in this state save nine, and in those nine counties every woman, by joining petition with the voters who are against license, can assist in suppressing the sale of liquor. If in any community the women who are qualified petitioners to prevent the sale of liquor within three miles of any church or school house, combined with the men who vote against license do not exceed the number of voters who are in favor ot license, is it not probable and does not experience show that statewide prohibition law will be held in contempt in that community? l have never voted for license and do not intend to do so. Still, after careful consideration of this subject, do not want to repeal the existing laws which have proven to me practical and satls- factory, by the passage of statewide law which may itself be repealed in two years, leaving us with no laws for the regulation of the liquor evil. have not sought and shall not attempt to dictate to anyone how he shall vote on this subject.

so strong was the pressure. The towr

As a result of the discovery of the
presence of the strong gas pressure in

THE TELEPHONES
BROADER FIELD

You know the telephones
mechanical ingenuity. But
do you know the ingenuity
of its every day uses.
Ordinary uses Of the tele-
phone are pretty we'll under
stood; but there is an enor-
nous field Of long distrance
telephone service just out
side the ordinary, every day
uses Of the average family.
Many families get twice.
three times. FIVE fold and
even ten fold the real service
from the telephone that
others do. They have no
advantage over their neigh
bors, being subscribers to the
same Bell service. But they
are ingenious. They turn to
the long distance telephone
in emergencies. They en-
ploy long distance to give in
creased convenience. to re-
lieve anxiety, to bind the
family together in spite Of
separation. to promote social
life. share happiness, express
sympathy and enlarge their
interests on every hand. To
them the telephone is far
more than a convenience for
ordering groceries.
These wider uses of the
telephone are important.
And. by the way. long dis
tance messages are not as
expensive as you may think.
Call Long Distance" and
inquire about rates.
