BOIL WffV|L AT
 WORK NEAR HERE

Specimens of an insect which is de- clared to be the genuine Mexican boil weevil were brought to Conway today by w. J. Hargis, who found them in his cotton field at Caney. Demonstra- tion Agent J. w. Earlier says he has no doubt that they are the genuine weevil, but will send the specimens to State Agent c. w. Watson for ex- animation. MT. Hargis says the wee wills have done great damage to his cotton, causing everything to drop off the plant except the matured bolls.
 The weevils are the first to be re- ported in Faulkner county this year. While they come too late to cause much general damage this year, con- siderable apprehension is felt over the fact that they may return in much largers numbers next year.

URGE BOARDS 10
 EQUAL|Zf VALUES
ON 50 PER CENT BASIS
TAX COMMISSION ISSUES IN- STRUCTIONS TO EQUALIZA-
 TON BOARD.

r Little Rock, Aug. 28.-There will be radical difference in the work of the boards of equalization this year over that of preceding years. The old law gave the board about three weeks to equalize the property of a county. Under the new law the board will meet Monday, September 1, and if they find it necessary may remain lin session until the fourth Wednes- day in October, period of nearly two months.
 The Arkansas Tax Commission has directed an important letter to the boards of equalization, calling at tention to the necessity of assessing property at full 50 per cent of it's value.
 "The board of equalization is the most important official body in the county" declares the commission. "The law imposes upon the assessor the duty of assessing both real and personal property. As rule, how ever, the assessor has fallen into the practice of dumping on the board of equalization the work of assessing real property. He simply copies the assessment of each tract as made the previous year no matter if the same is lss than 20 per cent of the value of the property. With respect to the assessment of personal property the situation is but little better. Ordi- narily the assessor assumes that he is compelled to accept the list of the taxpayer and that personal return can be raised by the board of equal ization only"
 The Commission urges a complete assessment at 50 per cent, and adds: If all the property of the state IS assessed on a basis of 50 per cent of it's full value, the total assessment of the state will go beyond $6OO, ,O0O,- 900. more than $170,000,00O above what it was in 1912"

Fl, SMITH WATER SUPPLY IS MENACfO DROUTnLOWERED POTEAU DROUTH HAS LOWERED PO- TEAU RIVER TO AN UN-
 USUAL STAGE.

Fort Smith. Sept. With but .82 inches of rainfall last month, the low est on record in years, the continued drouth is commencing to prove se- rious menace to the city water supply. The stage in Poteau river, source of the supply, is not only the lowest in 20 years, but is so low that the new waterworks cannot be placed in oper- ation. Two additional inlet pipes were completed Saturday to keep the sup ply up to the demand. It was neces- sary to install booster pumps directly on the river bank to help out the main pumps
 Yesterday, for the twentieth time this month, the temperature register ed 100 or more. A scorching hot wind blowing across the city made the weather unbearable. The drouth IS one of the most serious in years.

heard at the September term of the Faulkner chancery court. A suit for the partition of 15 lots bought for railroad purposes was brought today.
 The complaint, which was filed by J. c. Clark, attorney for D. o. Harton and a number of other business men, states that lots l to 15, inclusive, in block 9, Davies & Garvin annex to Conway, were purchased by the late Capt. w. w. Martin, as trustee, and were rendered to the Iron Mountain company as a site for their freight depot and switching yards, in eonsid- eration of their removal from the pub lie square. The lots were accepted by the railroad company, but objections upon the part of the congregation of St. Joseph's Catholic church, adjacent to the lots, caused the company later to decline to remove their building and yards to that place.
 The complaint states that the pur- chase price of the lots was S1,400, of whicR the firm of Martin X Harton paid $975 and other subscribers the balance. The court is asked to order the sale of the property and distrib- ute the proceeds to the various own CTS in proportion to their subscrip- tions. It is alleged in the complaint that the deed does not show the prop erty to have been held by Capt. Mar tin as trustee, and for this reason 2s heirs are made parties defendant to the suit

ness or not is a matter that must be determined in the future.
 Judge Rolfe was a visitor at the state capitol Friday afternoon, and made the following statement regard ing the bank and the delayed settle ment with the state by the collector :
 At the present time money cannot be secured on our collateral, which is ample to cover all liabilities, because of the tightness of the money mar ket. The collector, j. F. McDougali, is perfectly in the clear, and there is no question whatever about his ac- counts. The county funds were tenn porarily tied up in the failure of the bank of Forrest City, but it will be only few days until everything is settled to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. There is no doubt whatever about that.
 "I regret that it will be impossible to close up the matters before next Monday when the school apportion- ment will be made. But it cannot be done.
 The state superintendent of pub lie instruction is making arrange ments to make the apportionment, and the failure of St. Francis County to settle will mean that each child of school age will get three or four cents loss in the per capita allowance. The St. Francis apportionment will be made on the basis of what has been paid in by other counties.

SAYS COTTON WILL MAKE KfAVERACECR0P
MUCH DAMAGE RECENTLY
PART OF COUNTY SUFFERS LESS THAN SOUTH
 ERN, IT IS STATED.

That, despite great damage sustain ed by hot, dry weather during the past four weeks, cotton will make about an average yield in Faulkner county, is the opinion of County Dem- onstration Agent J. w. Earlier and S. R. Ethridge, who have just completed a tour which embraced practically ev- cry section of the county. MT. Par Her has been delivering lectures to the farmers on the demonstration work, while Mir. Ethridge has been repre- senting the Faulkner county fair.
 The northern portion of the county, they state, has suffered less from the drouth than the southern portion, the yield in the latter having been heavily reduced by unfavorable weather con ditions in August. Shedding is unusu- ally prevalent, the "top" crop being a total failure in most places, but the heavy fruit put on during July will, in their opinion, Insure about an aver- age crop.
 Corn, on the whole, will make bet ter than an average yield, Messrs. Earlier and Ethridge state, and prac- tically every farmer interviewed said he would have enough corn for his own use.
 Both of the gentlemen are enthusl- astic over the success of the farmers using the demonstration methods this year. They say farmers cultivating demonstration farms will produce an average of at least third more than those who followed the old plan. They were especially loud in their praise of the cotton crop grown by J. T. Allin- der, near Holland. Using the govern ment system, Mir. Allinder has produc- ed r acres of cotton, which MT. Eth ridge declared was the finest he had ever seen. With the rows six feet apart and stalks thinned out from three to four feet, the plants, they say, are tapping together, and many stalks were found with 100 matured bolls. The field will make at least bale to the acre, they say, and the labor re- uuired in making the crop was less than under the old system of cultiva- tion.

THREE ANNOUNCED
 FOR STATE SENATOR

From Saturdays Daily.
 Dr. w. H. Abingdon of Beebe will likely be a candidate for senator from the Twenty district, including White and Faulkner counties, and two others are mentioned for the position, according to the Beebe News. Under the agreement entered into many years ago, it is White county's time to make the Democratic nomination for this position and Faulkner county will not participate in the primary election for this office. The News says:
 "The political pot has begun to sim mer in White county again, and candl- dates for county office are becoming more numerous every day. It IS not known at this time just how many candidates Beebe will furnish in the campaign, as few of those mentioned for places have fully made up their mind to enter the race. It is very likely, however, that Dr. w. H. Ab- ington of this city will be candidate for state senator. His friends from all parts of the district are urging him to enter the race and he informed representative of the News this morning that he had about decided to become a candidate. Col. Crisp of Searcy and Attorney Davenport of Bald Knob are among the others men, tioned for this place. Dr. Abingdon IS a seasoned campaigner and has many ardent admirers in this locality, con- sequently the race for this particular office promises to be warm one' II ne decides to enter"
