FRANCHISE TAX
MUST Be PAID
AMOUNT TO Sl75,OOO. 100
NOTICES BEING SENT TO ALL
CORPORATIONS IN STATE BY
TAX COMMISSION.

Little Rock, April 11.-Notices to
all corporations in Arkansas, calling
their attention to the laws of the state
governing franchise taxes, and init
mating it is time for the payment of
the same, are being sent out by the
tax commission. This act, as amend
ed by the recent legislature, will bring
in $175,000 to the general revenue
fund, and it must be paid in by Au-
gust 10. With the evident intention
of keeping the general revenue fund
near the bedrock, the legislature also
made many appropriations which will
take out even this great sum as rap
idly as it is paid in.
Under the new law, all corporations
not specifically mentioned, must pay a
franchise tax of one-fifteenth of one
mill of the capital stock employed in
Arkansas. The law also gets the for
eign corporation which is authorized
to do business in Arkansas, forcing it
W pay d CdA upon Cile amount OF capl-
tai it is authorized to employ in the
state. The minimum tax to be paid
by any corporation is So There are
between 5000 and 5000 corporations
doing business in the state
Building and loan companies must
pay a tax of $25, mutual insurance
companies which have no capital
stock, must pay an annual tax of 500
and insurance companies with a cap
'ital stock up to $500,000, pay 800,
but those with capital over that sum
must pay 5000 annually.

$4,000 LOST
ON ONE ESTATE

Little Rock, April 11.-Because the
Armstrong inheritance tax bill was
not signed three days earlier, the state
of Arkansas lost over $4,000 from
the estate of G. L. Richie, a pioneer
of Camden, who died March
81, leaving an estate valued at $780,
900. The act was signed on March
"a, and as the old law was in effect
until that time, the heirs to the Richie
estate will pay to the state only a
small sum. This fact was discovered
Thursday afternoon when an official
was made by the COVER
nor and attorney general when their
attention was called to the value of
the Richie estate.

DIR. BOWLING
IS COMING
TO BE HERE TOMORROW
WILL ADDRESS CITIZENS AT
HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.

Dr.. Bowling, the recognized author
ity on the proper methods for santa
ton in cities, will arrive in Conway
tomorrow and viii lecture at the High
School auditorium tomorrow night at
8 O'Clock on this important subject.
No definite plans for his entertain
ment have been made because it is not
known just at what hour he will ar
rive. If he should arrive on the morn
ing train he will probably be shown
over the city by the Conway Survey
Committee that he may be better able
to give them advice concerning the
work of keeping the city clean
The program for tomorrow night
will be one that should be heard by
every citizen of Conway. He is com
ing here in great cause and every
one should grasp this opportunity of
hearing his message. At the conclu-
sion of his address several responses
will be made by local speakers.
The following committees have been
named to arrange for the exercises:
Chairman-Mrs. 10 Frauenthal.
Vice Chairmen-Mayor w. H. Dun
can, President A. c. Mllar, Dr. Cecil
Dickerson, Mrs. Guy A. Simmons,
Mrs. J. D. Collier.

BAPTIST REVIVAL
TO CLOSE SUNDAY

The meeting at the Baptist church
continues to grow in interest and
numbers. A great meeting was held
at that church last night. Many ad-
ditions to the church have been re-
ceived during the past week. AT the
conclusion of tonight's service quite a
number of those who have joined the
church during the meeting will be
baptized. The balance will be baptiz-
ed at the close of the services Sun
day night. That service will probably
close the series of meetings.

ASKED TO CALL
SPECIAL SESSION

Little Rock, April 11.-Pressure is
being brought to bear up Acting Gov
ernor Futrell to call special session
Of the legislature to provide relief for
eastern Arkansas. The same request
was made of Governor Donaghey last
year, when the condition was even
worse, and refused, and it is thought
Acting Governor Futrell will follow
the same course. All reports received
by him since the Wilson break in the
levee have been encouraging, and if
they continue to be so, the damage
will be orly temporary.

The State Normal won her initial
contest yesterday afternoon by defeat
ing the Conway High School bunch,
score II to 6. The weather was too
cold for fast ball, however, and the
game was devoid of features with the
exception of stick work. GOA of the
Normal was the bright star in this
particular, annexing two triples and
as many singles in four trips to the
plate. Sipe also raped the pill, get
ting a single, double and a triple out
of four times at bat. None of the
high school lads were able to hit safe
ly more than once, only six hits being
registered against the pedagogues'
twirler.
To start the game, Coach Scott sent
Joslin in to do the mound duty for the
preps, but the teachers pounded the
youngster dreadfully. He was reliev-
ed by Moore after two outs were made
The Normalites made seven hits off
Moore, but he kept them well scat
tered.
Sipe pitched a good game for Nor
NAL, allowing the High School but six
safeties. He made nine opponents

walked only one man.

DIVERS SEEK TREASURE
CHEST WHICH SANK IN 1926

Paris, November S.-(Specia1) )-Un-
told lost treasurers, lost at sea in
1920, are now being sought by the
latest development of physiological
science and the Enterprise is stirring
up France from center to circumfer-

In cafe, club restaurant, on boule-

hut the lost treasures of the Bay of
Biscay
1t has special interest for Ameri-
cans. The loss treasure came from
America; the ship which bore it sailed
from America. The basis of the treas
ure story is briefly this:
During the French revolution the
Count de Saint Paul, instead of flying
to England like most of the emigres,
went to America. There he grew enor-
mously wealthy, and with his wealth
he decided to return to his native land.
For though he liked the country which
had given him opportunity and hospi-
tality, proud beauty of Brittany held
his heart captive.
So he resolved to return and place his
heart and fortune at the feet of her
whose dark eyes haunted him in all his
wanderings.
His wealth consisted. of precious
stones mostly diamonds, and gold bars.
All We're carefully packed away in
an enromous Golfer specially constructed
for the treasure. The count chartered
a three-massed schooner Eo Jeune
Henri to carry home his diamonds and
gold.
Their value is said to have been at
least $40 0,Oo0,0 900. The good ship wealth

of Biscay, in the vicinity of the Island
of Oleron, off the shore of Brittany.

Life's Little Old Women Angels

What did start out to say was this:
I think 1t almost cruel to pass an old
woman on the streets and not help her.
If you have money, why not bestow it
here?
Why not give her enough to buy her
a new froek-or pay her months rent, or
get herself nice bonnet?
She, too, was young once, just like you,
and she wants. those things-just like you
mot charity, but honest, human SYM
pathy and. oh, there's so much in the
way a thing is given!
Tell your coal man what her address
is, and make her comfortable for the
winter.
Tell your ice man to stop once "a week
and leave her some ice.
And let the milk man know that he
needn't fear that he won't get his money
If he leaves her pint of milk each day.
Just think of what that would mean
to some of these dear little, old, little
women you meet and pass by!
I just love the story about the group
OF dear old fades who sat knitting one
morning, on a sunny piazza.
A little girl. with her doll was playing
, on the steps. -
The dear old ladies were talking about
heaven and the child, addressing the
group, said:
What is heaven?'
A white-haired, worn, tiny, toothless
little old lady replied quickly:
Heaven. my dear, is a place where lit
tie girls don't ever grow to be old
women!'
To my mind that is the best defifition
that could be given of q realm of happi-
ness.

have beautiful homes and plenty of
money to travel and enjoy themselves,
