BOYS GUESTS OF
 FERTILIZER COMPANY

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The scene at Little Rock college Mon' day morning was very much like that of the opening day of the school year. One hundred and fifty boys, from all over Arkan- sas, arrived at that institution 10 stay two weeks as the guests of the Arkansas Fertilizer Compa- ny. They were not a noisy bunch of boys, even though the clear complexion of the youths, showing the effects of life in the open air, indicated they were flll of vim and could make it noisy f they chose to do so,
 The boys were assigned to rooms in the dormitories, to places at the tables iu the dining hall, and told when they were expected to be on hand for lee lures. The faculty of the Uni versity of Arkansas agricultural department, number of pro fessors from the four agricul- tural schools of the state, besides the government experts, were on hand to map out the course of study for the two weeks.
 While the principal object of the school is to instruct the boys in the use of commercial ferti- lizers, and to demonstrate the value of them, the instructors will give short course in agri- culture as well. The boys will not be instructed in the use of any particular fertilizer, but will be taught the manner in which to determine the element most needed for the different kinds of soil, and then how to procure and apply it.
 The boys come from the Corn Club winners in the various counties. They will be enter tained with ball games, boat rides, theater parties, and in other manner by the business men of Little Rock. One day all manufacturers of fertilizer in the South will meet with them. and the representatives of the Girls Canning Club, as well as county farm demonstrators, and

BUDGET PASSAGE BLOCKED
BY UNION DEMOCRATS
IspccinI to the Newark stsr1

ELIZA BETH, n. j., July 1S.-The
Democratic members of the Board of
Freeholders have succeeded in hold
ing up the budget of the board when
it was presented at special meeting
The spokesman for the Democrats
were Freeholders Fay and Hennessy.
They charged their Republican col
leagues with extravaganza, especial
ly in connection with the appropria-
ton for road work.
Mr.. Fay said it appeared that the
Republicans felt the approach of a
small board and were becoming ex-
ceptionally extravagant during their
last days" He pointed out that the
budget calls for an increase of $165 ,000
or more than 35 per cent. over last
years appropriations. lie said that
the Republicans were giving much
publicity to an Appropriation of 800
LOO for an anticipated special election
for small board referendum. The
Democratic freeholders declared that
the county should be careful in its
appropriation for roads so as not to
burden the city of Elizabeth with an
excessive tax rate
Ii the increased county appropria-
ton finally goes through it will mean
that this city must raise about $4,000
more for county tax than il did last
year This alone would result in an
increase of four points in the city
tax rate.

penn and his friends, the governor
gave out this statement:

themselves by their vote for the
adoption of the Walsh act last April.

hausted to Aid Boy in

& FREDERICK, Md, July Isl,
William Beckett, superintendent of the
public schools of Railway, N. j.,
barely had time to kiss his Swear old
son William goodby, before the boy
slipped off rock i'm the middle OF
THE Rapids" near Weverton juno
ton, in the Potomac river.
Following hard struggle when their
canoe upset a half mile below the
lock at Sandy Hook Md, Beckett
completely exhausted, lifted his boy
to temporary safety on the rock. Both
were so weak and their hold on safety
so precarious that Mr.. Beckett, believ-
ing the end had come, leaned over and
kissed his son farewell, expecting to
go down with aim into the muddy
stream.
A party of Baltimore and Ohio
railroad trainmen, who saw the acct
dent. and the struggle of the pair for
life. rescued the father.
Beckett is an expert in aqua tic
sports and yesterday afternoon he and
his son left for q canoe trip by canal
to Harpers Ferry. Md, distance OF
seven miles.
Returning, they came down the Po-
tomac river and all went well until
thew reached "The Rapids" when the
canoe hit submerged rock.
The body of the boy was found late
last evening, after hours of dredging.
