ASSESSOR FINISHES
TOUR OF COUNTY

With his appointment in Benedict
township yesterday, Tax Assessor w.
N. Jones completed his tour of the
county and he will be at the court
house m this city from now until
July %, when the books will be clos
ed. Mr.. Jones says the assessment
in the rural districts this year is
really better than he expected, con-
sidering the general financial depres-
sion. Horses and mules, he states,
have declined in value, but all other
classes of personal property are be-
ing assessed at good valuations. On
ly personal property and per capita
tax is being assessed this year, it be-
;ng an off year for the assessment of
real estate.

CANTALOUPE GROWERS
TO MEET SATURDAY

President d. o. Harton and Sec
retary w. ID. Cole, Jr, of the Faux
ner County Truck Growers Associa-
ton have issued a call for all who
will have cantaloupes for sale to
meet at the courthouse next Satur-
day, July IS, at IL o'clock, to discuss
means of disposing of the crop.
Unfortunately for the truck-grow-
ing interest in the county, the first
attempt to raise cantaloupes has
proved almost an entire failure. The
backward spring and wet weather
made it impossible to secure stand
of the plants and the weather has
been unfavorable to the few plants
which came up. Mr.. Cole says, how
ever, that the market for canta-
loupes IS unusually good and no diff

TO RECONSTRUCT
PHONE SYSTEM
WORK IS TO BEGIN SOON
EXCHANGE AND OFFICES TO
BE MOVED TO DONAGHEY
BUILDING.

That the long needed improvements
of the local telephone system will
soon be an accomplished fact. was in
dicated today when the work of pre-
pairing the upper floor of the Dona-
ghey building, on the west side. for
the offices and exchange of the com
pany was begun. These Offices are
to be ready for occupancy by August
Is, but Local Manager G.. W. Sam
mons said all of the pole lines of the
company will be reconstructed before
the exchange is removed from its
present location.
Mr.. Sammons has not been advised
as to when the reconstruction work
will begin, but is of the opinion it
will be started at once. New poles
will be set throughout the city and
cables will take the place of single
wires on nearly every street. Accord
ng to Mr.. Sammons, the cost of the
improvements will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
When the exchange is moved a new
switchboard of much larger capacity
will be installed and the central Of
fee will be fitted up in modern style
in every respect. A greatly improv-
ed service is promised when all the
improvements are completed.

TO FORM CIRCUIT
OF COUNTY FAIRS
GROUP OF -FOUR PL AIMED
FAULKNER, WHITE, OUACHITA
AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS
FAIRS TO COOPERATE.

While attending the meeting of
county fair officers at Little Rock
yesterday, Manager j. A. King of
the Faulkner county fair took the
first steps toward the organization of
circuit of four county fairs, in
which the local ocation will be in
cluded. Secretary j. F. Gillespie of
the Central Arkansas fair at Carlisle
is heartily in favor of the plan and
said that the association will be glad
to join in a circuit. Two other as
sociations whose dates eft in" right
are the White county at Searcy and
the Ouachita county at Camden,
and these, it is thought, will join
with the Carlisle and Conway enter
prises in forming circuit.
Under this arrangement purses
aggregating from $4,000 to $4,000
will be offered for horse-rac.ng and
some of the best strings of racing
stock in the southwest will be at
tracted to the circuit, thus insuring
high-class events. Carnival attrac-
tions of the better sort can be booked
jointly for the four fairs and the in
ferior class of shows can be elimi-
mated from all of them. Manager
King S now in correspondence with
the officials of the other fairs and he
is confident the circuit will be COM
pleted within a short time.
At yesterdays meeting perma-
nent organization of county fair as
sociations IN the state was effected
by the election of T. NJ Jeffords, in
charge of the boys corn club work,
as pres dent, and H. G. Spaulding of
Pine Bluff secretary and treasurer.
The new organization will be known
as the Arkansas County Fairs Asso-
citation. Twelve fairs were repre-
sented at the meeting and efforts will
be made to enroll the entire 40 coun-
ty and district fairs as members.

SPECIAL WORK FOR
SUPERY|StDSCHOOL
PROF. BOND DEVISES PLAN
AIM is TO INCREASE FAVORA-
BILE SENTIMENT TOWARD
COUNTY SUPERVISION.

Little Rock, July 9.-Prof. J. l..
Bond, supervisor of rural schools,
has outlined a special plan of work
to- be carried out with 10 rural
schools in each of the counties of the
state now having county superin-
tendents. These counties are Poin-
sett, jackson, Miller, Crawford, Sc
bastian, Lee, Mississippi and Gar
land. The superintendents and teach
ers are very enthusiastic over the
plan.
County superintendency is optional
with the counties, being decided by
vote at the annual school election.
The department of education is. anx-
ious that school conditions shall be
the best possible in the superintend-
ed counties, so that this may be used
as an argument for county superin-
tendency where it has not yet been
adopted
With the idea of aiding and coop
Grating with the counties having su-
perintendents of schools, this special
rural school plan of work has been
outlined. Through the cooperation
of the county superintendents and
teachers in charge of the 10 rural
schools designated for this work in
each county, Prof. Bond plans to
bring to bear every agency possible
in making these schools the very
best. Special lines of work will be
suggested from time to time for
these schools to carry out. In the
end, it is hoped that not only will
the 10 schools be made better, but
that every school in the county will
be reached.

Little Rock, July 9-While the at

large as its members had hoped, it
was none the less enthusiastic for
anything that would tend to advance
the material interests of the state.
There were a number of important
addresses during the first day, .and
the meeting closed today with the
adoption of a platform of principles
and the election of officers.
One of the closing subjects of dis

Representatives of the Arkansas An
tl-Sa!oon League were denied an OPP
portun ty to reply, and this refusal
caused special meeting of the Min

were adopted condemning the "lack
of fairness" on the part of the asso-
citation. They declared that this re-
fusal sis against the American prin-
ciple of square deal and commits

The resolutions, which have caused
a great deal of comment, concluded
with the following:

seeking to tighten their grip.

and are being distributed to the
peach growers of this vicinity. 1t is
stated that the crop of Elbertas,
shipment of which will begin in
about 10 days, is the finest ever seen

BEST KIND OF VACATION.

To be productive of lasting bene-
fit, vacation should mark COM
plete change in one environment and
habits. Country people find this in
going to the city, while city folks
flee to the country; those living on
the salt water go to the mountains,
and vice versa. For this reason
camp life has become so deservedly
popular. The dwelier in modern
city needs to get away for a while
from telephones, elevators, subways,
automobiles and all the multitude OF
things that make life easy and con-
venient, and get back to primitive
simplicity. Tent life in the woods
or beside lake or stream constitutes
the biggest possible contrast with
the artificial life of the city, and a
vacation thus spent means not only
physical recuperation, but tonic to
the spirit, a renewal of kinship with
natures elemental forces.-Leslie's

MANY ARE BLIND IN ONE EYE
Person May Suffer This Physical De-
feet and Go Through Life With
out Knowing 1t.

An English author, Mrs. Francis
Vivian Campbell, has brought a.
damage suit embodying some novel
features against a Newcastle steam
ship line. She complains, among 9TH
sr things, that while on voyage in
the Mediterranean she contracted
ptomaine poisoning from the bad
food on the Carib Prince, and that,
as a result, she had lost the sight of
her left eve. Medical testimony was
to the effect that the loss Of sight
was due to blood poisoning and that
it was not usual for ptomaine poi
soning to affect only one eye. 1t
would appear that Mrs. Campbell
was not Immediately aware of this
loss of sight. One Of the physicians
who gave testimony in the case said
this was not remarkable, that scores
Of people have been blind in one eye
since birth and yet had not realized
it,. He gave as an explanation that
with perfect eyesight one has what
is known as field Of vision. A per-
son with one defective eye sees all
right but on one side piece of the
view is missing. This one may new
or notice because he has never seen
differently. He said that while the
majority of people may find out for
themselves that they have defec-
tive eye, or one from which sight has
gore, there is a large minority that
only make this discovery after
many years, and some who go to
their graves without ever making it.
