The board has been in session at
varying intervals since it's appoint

entire assessment.
Equalization boards would be un-

our present tax assessor, for the val

correctness of the tax books made out
by him. Also want to congratulate
the voters of the county on having
elected a man so thoroughly qualified
for the duties of an assessor, and, as
shown by the equality of his assess

could to treat all alike. If more
counties in our state had assessors
like Mr.. Jones the state would h"ve

P|CKfRS NEEDED:
COTTON SUFFERS
CROP TURNOUT IS GOOD
FARMERS MAKING BETTER
THAN XPECTED-PRICE
UP A LITTLE.

The worst scarcity of labor for cot
ton picking ever known is reported
from all sections Of Faulkner county,
and the crop is suffering considerable
damage on account of a lack Of hands
to gather the staple. Every kind of
inducement is being offered by farm
ers, and many of them have been
compelled to take their children out
of school in order to save their crop.
The weather has also interfered with
picking to no small extent.
AS rule, the crop is turning out
much better than was anticipated a
month ago. 1t appears now that a
large part Of the crop put on when
the drouth was broken in August W,ll
mature, and if frost holds off couple
of weeks longer the yield will be still
better. Many are now predicting that
the crop in Faulkner county will be
considerably larger than last year
and possibly the largest in the coun-
ty's history, whereas two months ago
no one believed the yield would De
equal to that of the 1912 crop.
The price Of cotton has taken a
slightly upward turn during the past
two days and local quotations have
been advanced about one-quarter cent
on all grades.
Cottonseed, however, has declined
from 500, the price paid from the be-
ginning of the season, to SIS, the lat
ter having been the top of the market
since Thursday.

COTTON Is II 81:
RECEIPTS ARE LIGHT

Although the price of cotton is up
about 81 to So a bale from the low
figures of last week, the receipts con-
tinue somewhat light, due principally
to unfavorable weather for picking.
The seasons receipts, however, are
considerably in excess Of the average
to this date, and it is estimated that
over 5000 bales Of street cotton
have been marketed here since Sep
tenber |. Middling cotton is bring

PROPOSES PALARM
AS ASSEMBLY SITE
LOCATION CALLED IDEAL
DIR. MILLAR SUGGESTS PLACE
FOR EPWORTH ASSEMBLY
GROUNDS.

A spot near Palarm station, just
across the southern boundary of
Faulkner county, is suggested in a
recent article by DR.. A. C. Millahr in
the Western Methodist as a site for
the proposed Epworth Assembly
grounds in this state.
"The site under consideration. -
writes DR.. Millar, ''is a bluff over
looking the Arkansas river at the
mouth of Palarm creek. As previous
ly indicated, this is almost exactly at
the geographical center of the state
and at the very spot where the Ar
kansas, Little Rock and White River
conferences meet. 1t is in Pulaski
county, on the north side of the river
and the east side of Palarm creek.
consequently in the territory of the
White River conference. 1t is proba-
bic that not one preacher in one hun
dred in Arkansas was ever at the
point where the three conferences
meet. 1t is easily accessible, because
it is on the Little Rock & Fort Smith
railroad and so near that conveyance
will not be necessary to carry people
from the trains to the encampment.
There are four trains day each way
on this road and it is so near Little
Rock that it is convenient to all parts
of the state. It is on the river and
could be reached by boat, and passen-
gers on the Rock Island railroad
could get off at Natural Steps and
cross the river in boat. A good au-
tomobile road is being constructed
from Little Rock to Fort Smith along
this route. While it is at the conflu-
ence of the Palarm creek and the Ar
kansas river, there is no swamp near
and nothing to cause sickness. The
bluff at the river is about two hun
dred feet above the river and in hot
weather a good breeze is always STIR
ring. This bluff runs back as rocky
ridge for about half a mile, is covered
with pine and oak trees, and the view
up and down the river is very fine.
The Pinnacle mountain is in full view
four miles south and the Natural
Steps are between. There are springs
at the end of the ridge and a valley
below that could be converted into an
artificial lake with little expense. The
river and creek afford fishing, boat
ing and bathing. There is a deep
water and then fiat sandy beach,
so that arrangements can be made for
safe bathing for the unskilled. The
creek gives opportunity for variety.
There are level places with rocky hill
sides overlooking, making fine athlet-
ic fields with natural amphitheaters.
About 240 acres can be secured In one
body and as much more near by. The
land lies so that with the clearing OF
/ the underbrush and opening of walks
and drives there is ample room for
tents, bungalos and all other build
ings and recreation grounds. While
there are higher places in the state,
still there is no other place that COM
bines attitudes and all the advantages
mentioned. Being near Little Rock
and the center of population, the as
sembly would draw large crowds
when special attractions were offer
ed

One Of the Prosperous Towns Of the
Red River VaIley---A. Delightful
Place Of Residence.

One Of the: old towns of the county,
established before the railroad came,
is''Page. Although the town has not
reached metropolitan size, it's growth
hasEbeen steady from year to year un-
til it can now boast a population in
excess of 900 people. Nature has been
| kind to. Page, on all sides stretches
in the state and which is now selling
for from $40 to $40 per acre and not
much Of it on the market at that
price. The soil is especially. adapted
to diversified farming and. the farmers
raise all sorts of grain and vegetables.
The growing of potatoes is rapidly, as
Stunning large proportions and at the
present time a large potato warehouse
is being erected for d. e. Ryan e. CO.
of st. Paul, who are large buyers of
: the; spuds raised near Page.
The business houses in Page are up
.to-date and the stocks carried by the
business men do credit to a town of
1000 people. The people are loyal to
the interests of the toYn and the bus
mess men give them the very lowest
possible prices on their purchases.
Four general stores, two hardware
stores, two machinery houses, two
garages. two blacksmith shops, one
livery and auto, three restaurants. one
first class hotel, one butcher shop. one
barber shop. two lumber yards and
other smaller business houses supply
the needs of the people.

Page is one of the largest grain
markets in Cass county and before, the
F~argo-Surrey scut-of was built it was

bushels of grain a year. The Farm

bushels alone in 1908 and 1909. The

some of this grain to stations where
the haul is shorten, : but the business
interests of Page will not suffer as it
is only a question of a short time
when a station will be built on this
line for the town itself. '<H2+ .
