 Little Rock, Sept. 26.-It has been calculated by the Arkansas Tax Commission that there is a total of $959,824 of unpledged investment building and loan stock held by citizens of Pulaski county in the thirty-two asso- citations doing business here. It is estimated that this represents about three-fourths of the total amount of such stock carried in the whole state.
 Under the terms of the new law, the Secretary of each build ing and loan association is re- quired to furnish the Tax Com mission with a complete list of all investment stockholders, and the present value of ther stock. These lists are certified to the assessors and Boards of Equalization that all may be as-
 sessed as contemplated by the law. This is the first time this
 has ever been done in the state,
 and it is expected that the result will be the assessment of hundreds of thousands of values never before on the tax books.

 Little Rock, Sept. 26.-The Agricultural Commissioner has received a letter from H. T. Scott, Huntington, 714 South 11th street, Philadelphia, Penn., advising him that as the result of an advertisement for a 1000 acre tract of farming land in Arkansas, he has received so many offers of desirable land that he is in a quandary which to accept. In this dilemma he has appealed to MT. Page to as- sist him in deciding which of the best propositions he should ac- cept.

the plant of the Fletcher Cof- fee & Spice Company was de- stroyed by fire last week. Im- mediately after the fire, the Plunkett-Jarrell Grocer. Co. ten dered the use of it's roasters to the unfortunate competitor, and the generous offer was accept ed. The Fletcher concern is a. gain operating in temporary quarters on West Markham street, one block west of the old building.
 The Plunkett-Jarrell Compa- ny has a battery of four coasters which work a portion of the week parching the Betsy Ross coffee of that concern, and they are then turned over to the Fletcher Company to roast Rose Bud, the leading brand of that coincern. Thus the us- CTS of the two brands of coffees that have made Little Rocbk fa- nous, are permitted to continue without a famine in coffee.

Washington. July 2l.-The first
examinations for men to help the in
terstate commerce commission in Its
stupendous work of putting a physi-
cal value on the railroads of the
country. are being held in all the
States and in the Territories Of Ha-
wall and Porto Rico today. So great
Is the interest among those seeking
employment that over $4,000 in
quiries have been received b ythe
commerce commission regarding the
examinations.
Not only will a large force be re-.
quired to complete the initial work
OF appraising the valuation of all Of
the railroads of the country, but af-
ter the final figures are obtained 1t

Der will be required to keep the in
formation up to date. Thus It will
be seen that the work about to be
undertaken will be permanent for q
great number of employees under the
civil service. These who are ap-
pointed when the work starts and
make good naturally will have the
best chance for advancement. As

ASPHALT NOW BEING

Today the work Of putting down
the asphalt on the streets which are
to be paved with that material waa
begun, the initial work being done
on NortL Florida avenue. This
work will now proceed rapidly, and
in short time all the streets to be
thus treated will be covered with
this material.
Mr.. J. N. Hazlehurst, the city's
able engineer. states that every pre-
caution has been taken to get this
asphalt coating prepared in exactlS
the correct proportions. so that the
city will be assured Of the most
durable and saUsfa actory work. Ex-
pert chemists tave been engaged to
supervise THO mixing and nothing
has been left undone that would
tend to produce the best results.

PLUMBER DIED At

been for sometime. an invalid in

Ahearn had been drinking more
or less last week, but had, through
the kindness of friends sobered up
pretty well yesterday. Last night,
however, he visited companion at
Sunnyside. and 1t seems consider
able liquor WIS disposed of. In COM
ing down the stairs Ahearn stumb-
led and fell. 1t was not thought he
was seriously hurt, but as he soon
showed that he breathed with
great difficulty and developed other
alarming symptoms, Dr.. Grower
was called and did wha he could
to relieve him. Death ensued about
$3.50 this morning. There we're no
visible injuries that would likely
cause death. which was probably
due to internal hurts.
From papers In his possession It
was learned that the deceased for
merly resided at Kingsville. Nueces
county, Texas. He was member
in good standing of the Odd Fell
lows at that pl aceandof Plumbers
Union. Both these organizations
promptly wired funds. the former
$50 and the latter 500.
Ahearn was aged about 40 years,
and was we'll liked by his asso-
ciates. He was employed by the
Model Hardware Co., and had been
working on the KibIer hotel build
ing. He seems to have had no Sc
rious fault except the one which
was the indirect cause of bis death.

NOVEL PLAN TO RE.
DUCE HIGH COST OF LIVING

Washington, July 21.-A novel
attempt to reduce the nigh cost of
living by eliminating the middle
men in meats and green groceries
through direct dealings with farm
ers, is to be tried here by con-
cern in which several Office holders
under the Taft administration are
officials. Plans for the movement
have been under way for some time
but actual operation began only to-
day. About 1000 local housewives,
many of the women of standing in
social circles, are associated with the
movement in a cooperative and ad-
visory capacity.
A preliminary survey Of market
conditions In Washington has been
made, and the published statistics
seem to place the responsibility foS|
the soaring prices upon the middlef
man. Tabulation of prices taken In
all corners of the capitol allege prof.
its ranging from 100 to 33 per cent.
These admittedly are Offset by waste
and business costs.
The new movement proposes to
gather provisions from the country
side with a feet of motor trucks and
deliver them to the kitchen doors In
seaial boxes upon order given the
lay before. The leaders of the
movement say they will pay the
farmer 20 pr cent more than he
now gets and sell directly to con-
sumers for 40 per cent less than
they now pay.

FARMERS CLUB HAD
INTERESTING MEETING
Met Saturday at the Home of Mr.
Maharg, Large Number
Present.

The Lakeland Farmers Club met
Saturday at the residence Of Mr.. A.
S. Meharg on South Floriia ave.
nue. with a good attendance. The
meeting came to order by the fol.
lowing address by President Conf
bear:
Ladies and Gentlemen and Mem
bers of the Lakeland Farmers Club:
| wish to thank you for the honor
you have bestowed upon me in elect
ing me to be your president. But
| assume the duties with some mis-
givings as to the wisdom of your
choice. But will do my best to pre-
side with fairness and for the best
interest of the club. for l feel that
this club has a great work to do
in the future by bringing it's mem
bers more closely in touch with the
extension work of the experiment
3tatlOn at Ga1LcCV1lle.
'You are all aware of he fact
that the general government has
been eXpending large amounts Of
money to maintain an experiment
station there for the benefit of the
agriculturiGts Of the State. They
have !" Led many things by actual
experiment u der standard rules
which go far toward making perfect
knowledge, which it is very nccos-
sary to disseminate among the pco
pie. Through the regular meet
ings of such an organization as this
is one Of the best ways of doing so
is by the circulation of their bull
letins and the discussion of them and
the explanation of their findings and
deductions by some of their work
crs. One Of the popular methods
throughout the northwest is the
holding of farmers institutes at
which some of the university teach
ers deliver lectures on different sub
jects according to IA previously ar
ranged program, which has been
widely advertised some time previous
to the meetings. In all it has been
found to be able to arouse more in
terest and draw larger number of
farmers together to have in connec-
ton with 1t something of an ex-
hibi.ion of farm products with the
awarding Of prizes.
"Prof. Spencer has written me a
letter on this subject which will be
presented to you for your considera-
ton and action later"
Letters were read from Prof. A.
P. Spencer, Of Gainesville, In refer
ence to planning two or three
days farmers institute meeting
here some time in January, and
there was "a committee appointed to
look after this, and take the mat
er up with the Board of Trade.
Mr.. B. L. Hammer. of Tampa,
was present to explain the plan OF
organization of the Florida Growers
and Shippers League. After
which a very sumptuous repast was
partaken Of.
ca. being called to order after
dinner the discussion was on the
fall management of citrus groves.
