SCHOOLS IMPROVE
 WITH SUPERVISION
Positive Working Force For Up- building and Betterment of
 Public Schools

The State Department of Educa- tlon has just issued a bulletin deal ing with the question of county superintendency of schools in the state. The bulletin briefly discuss es the work of a county superin- tendent and gives the results in improved school conditions that are shown in those counties of the state that have adopted the super vision plan.
 There are fifteen counties ac- cording to this bulletin, that have county superintendents of schools and these superlntendents have done much to organize, classify and standardize the work of the the rural schools in these counties.
 Under the present law, any county may adopt the county su- pervision plan of work by a vote of the electors at the annual school election.
 The bulletin further states that the county superintendent does not displace the director, neither does he assume or take away any of the duties or powers now pos sessed by the school directors. The superintendent aids, assists and co-operates with these school officers.
 The bulletin concludes with the following statement: Efficient supervision is without doubt the most pressing need at present in the school work of the state. County superintendency is no long, CT an experiment in the school work of Arkansas-it has been tried in a number of counties and has been in every instance posi- tive working force for the up- building and betterment of the schools in every way"

ARRESTED ON GRAND
 LARCENY CHARGE
Monroe Wilkes Confesses Stealing Cross Ties and duplicates
 Will Grigsby

Monroe Wilkes was arrested Sat urday on warrant charging grand larceny, for having sold cross ties belonging to J. E. Uhles.
 The ties had been stacked on the right-of-way at theEller switch and Wilkes is alleged to have talk en MT. Uhles' name from the ties and branded them as belonging to B. c. Bowers. He sold about $23 worth of the ties and received check in payment, which he had cashed at Sulphur Rock.
 He was arrested and taken be- fore Squire Holmes at Batesville where he confessed his guilt, and charged Will Grigsby with being the instigator of the affair, alleg- ing that Grigsby laid the plan and he put it into execution.
 Grigsby was arrested Sunday but released upon his promise to appear before Squire Holmes for trial yesterday.
 Not much is known of Wilkes here, he having came here only a few months ago. It is generally believed, however, that he is fugitive from justice. It is thought that he is going under an assumed name, and 1t is reported that his real name is Murphy.
 Wilkes barely escaped trouble some time ago by writing check on the First National Bank here for s10 when he had no funds to his credit Payment was refused at the bank and when the party to whom the check was given went to him and demanded pay ment, Wilkes went to the bank with the party and presented an old deposit slip on which he had changed the date, as the basis for his claim of having the money in the bank. When the duplicate de- posit slip on file in the bank was shown him, he was at his wits end. He secured money and paid the party to whom the check was given and the matter was dropped.

HARVESTER TRUSTS
PROFITS S16,5OO,OOO
Annual Report Gives Net Earn
ingS For 1912.

Chicago.-Cyrus III. Mccormick, pres
ident Of the International Harvester
company, made public here the report
of the corporation for the year 1912,
which shows a net profit Of $16,395,-
597.16 on a total income of $126,51S,-
237.62. The capital stock is $4,000
900, and the surplus on Dec. 81 was
$31, $50, 544.O6. In his comments on the
general situation last year Mr.. McCor-
mick says:
1.-THE year 1912 was one Of excep-
tional prosperity for the farming com
munity throughout the world. The
production Of the principal grains in
creased almost 20 per cent over the
preceding year and yielded a crop
value considerably larger than any pre-
vious record. This created an increas-
ed demand for harvesting machinery,
tillage implements and other farm APP
pliances and enabled the company to
make a substantial gain in the gross
volume of sales. The increase effected
in net earnings, however, was not pro-
portionate to the gain in volume, owing
to the reduction in selling prices Of the
company's principal lines.
1.-The expansion Of the foreign trade
continues. The sales Of harvesting
machinery abroad increased % per
cent. and the sales of other farm i'm
elements, engines and tractors increas-
ed IA per cent over 1911. The foreign
trade now exceeds 40 per cent of the
total business Of the company and con-
tributes more than proportionately to
the net earnings, while the domestic
sales OF harvesting machinery and
Irvine in 1912 were less than two-thirds
Of the total business"
