DIR. ]. Il. REYNOLDS
AS HENDRIX HEAD
DONAChEY FAYORS HIM
TRUSTEES TO MEET SOON TO
SELECT NEW PRESIDENT
FOR COLLEGE.

Little Rock, May There will
soon be a meeting Of the committee
appointed by the board of trustees of
Hendrix College to negotiate with per-
sons deemed desirable to fill the po-
sition of president of that institution.
The meeting will probably be held in
Little Rock, as was the last meeting
Of the trustees. Former Governor G..
w Donaghey is the chairman of the
board, as well as Of the special com
mittee, and it is known that he is in
chned to DR.. J. H. Reynolds, now act
ing president of the University of
Arkansas.
No proposition has yet been made
to Dr. Reynolds, but the committee
will probably call upon him at any
time and endeavor to have him accept
an honor which he declined two years
ago.
Dr. Reynolds passed through Little
Rock Thursday enroute to Wynne
where he speaks to the pupils of the
schools today He will 90 from there
to Harrisburg, where he will deliver
commencement address, and then to
Danville to again speak for the grad
uates of the schools.
Dir. Reynolds will not discuss the
proposition of his becoming the pres
ident of Hendrix College, saying he
had not been approached with any
proposition, and as far as he knew at
the present time. he would continue
with the University in the history de-
partment.
Although he was proposed for the
presidency of the University, DR..
Reynolds delights in the selection of
DR.. J. II. Kirkland of Vanderbilt for
the presidency.
1.-THE South has no greater educator
than DR.. Kirkland" stated DR.. Rey-
nods yesterday, "he and the presi-
dent of the University of Virginia are
the two leading educators of the
South, and Arkansas took a great
jump upward the very minute DR..
Kirkland was elected president of the
institution. | am confident he will ac-
cept the position which has been ten
dered him"

Loss Estimate S2.250.O0.

Little Rock, Sept. 8.-Accord- ing to a statement issued today by J. s. Speed, manager of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, the total number of buildings burn- ed in the Hot Springs fire were 528, of which 83. were brick, 12 brick veneer and 423 were frame. A total of 3212 blocks were burned, with a property loss of S2,250,000, according to the actuary's report. The insur- ance loss is placed at S1, 100000. This report also places the blame for the rapid spread of the fire at poor construction, ineffi- cient water system, poor fire fighting equipment as compared with standard recommendations, and the fact that the winds were treacherous.

Killed Horse--Attached Zebra

Memphis, Sept. 8.-A horse attached to a buggy and driven by Sam Brown, North Main street merchant, dropped dead Sunday afternoon followinq 2 fright when one of the Hagen .beck-Wallace elephants passed along the streets.
 Monday Brown went before Squire Kea1ney and got out an attachment against one of the shows zebras. The instrument was served by a deputy from kearney,s s court, and the parade went out minus one zebra.
 Managers Of the circus finally settled matters with Brown bv paying him for the horse.
 It was late Sunday afternoon when animals from the show had been unloaded and walked from the train to the grounds.
 Brown had his buggy standing near Decatur street. His horse paid no attention to the camels. the hunchback oxen or other classes of circus men call hay an- imals. They passed without causing it to raise it's eyes.
 Presently there came out of a cloud of dust a giant elephant. It's head was erect and when it's driver speared it just the least bit to make it mind, there came a noise like a kid yelling down a rain barrel, and Browns horse reared on it's hind legs.
 It lunged forward, then fell over. There was a kick or two from it and the animal was dead.

COST OF CATTLE
 TICK TO STATE
Runs Into Millions As Four Fifths of Arkansas Is Within
 the Federal Quarantine.

l x
 comes for consideration one of
 the most important matters af- fectlng stock raising in the
 South. l refer particularly to
 the cattle tick, known as the Texas fever tick. How he came here and where he came from are matters of interest but not Of importance. He is here and has been for years. What he is doing and how to handle him are the questions. The cattle ticks
 get on the cattle during the sum- mer. They suck the blood and poison the cattle. Sometimes
 the cattle die and sometimes they do not. If the cattle die
 they become a total loss to the farmer. If they don't, they are a partial loss anyway. A fresh COW will give a quart more of
 milk when she is free from ticks than when she is not. A steer will fatten when he is free from ticks; he won't when he is cov- cred with ticks. \ calf will thrive and grow when free from
 ticks; it won't when infected with ticks, but will make a runt, and maybe live through the win ter and die in the spring.
 Four-ffths of Arkansas is un- der quarantine by the National Government against shipping out cattle except under certain restrictions, on account of the cattle tick. Do you know the ef- feet of this? It affects the price of the cattle. Cattle from the quarantined sections will not bring within three dollars per head as much as from the other sections, on an average. This applies to Arkansas. We have in the quarantined district, 750,- GOO head of cattle. Thus you see the presence of the cattle tick in four-ffths of the state is costing the people of Arkansas S2,250,000. We as farmers would be over two million dollars better off in the value of our cat tie if we had no cattle ticks in the State. Just think of it.:
 Enough money to buy winter shoes for all the children in Ar kansas! Enough to buy milk to raise all the babies in Arkansas Enough to buy a dress for all the mothers in Arkansas Enough to buy a saddle for all [ the boys in Arkansas. Enough Ito place a Bible and spelling book lin the hands of every man, wo- man and child in Arkansas Enough to gid every church spire or to garnish the festal board in every home with fowl land food and flowers on Thanks
 giving day. What toll we are
 paying for our neglect in not
 getting rid of the pest.
 Since the work of tick eradl- 1 ication was begun in 1909 about twenty per cent of the State has
 been cleared of the tick. Let us Eeducate and organize and work
 as hard and fast as possible t( get the other eighty per cent The work of eradication ha;
 been going on in some parts thi; Fvear. Let us try to get it ex tended to all parts. We should
 have general law that would re -quire the organization of tici eradication districts, and perm ithe assessment of taxes on eV sery head of kline for eradication !,,
 purposes. Let's go to work witi .,, o;rc4 Inc cattle ticks
