ENGINEER SUES
 CADR0N DISTRICT ABANDONED C. H. BURR SEEKS PAYMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED
 DISTRICT.

A suit which revives memories of l an abandoned reclamation project in Faulkner county was filed in the Faulkner circuit court this week, En- gineer G. H. Burr seeking to recover from Cadron Dam and Levee District the sum of $1,400 for engineerin services rendered the district.
 The district was created by an act of the legislature of 1911, approved May 15, 1911, and embraces about 6O,O0O acres of land in the overofiw district of Cadron creek. It was planned to construct a dam and lock across Cadron creek near Gleason by which backwater from the Arkansas river could be prevented from inun- dating lands along it's tributary, Cad ron creek. J. D. Collier, T. c. Her. vey, Riley Parker, S. s. Surratt and F. U. Halter were named as directors of the district.
 The plaintiff in the suit alleges that he was appointed as engineer of the district and made surveys, plans and estimates, for which a reasonable compensation would be S1,400. He states that no assessment has ever been levied as provided for in the act creating the district, and that the en- terprise has been abandoned. The plaintiff asks judgment in his favor for the sum stated and prays that the court issue a writ of mandamus di- recting the board to levy and collect sufficient assessment to pay off the judgment.
 In chancery court w. M Harrell & Co. filed suit against C. J. Greene, D. J. Allen and Clarence Young, asking judgment for S81 2S and the appoint ment of a receiver to take charge of certain personal property.
 ! Adams & Courtney filed suit against E. L. Dawson and J. D. Col Her, seeking judgment and the en- forcement of a lien for $26.25 for building materials alleged to have been furnished the defendants.

MISS KEMPTHORNE
 ENTERTAINS CLUE

Miss Edith Kempthorne, assisted by several of her youngest pupils, enter tained the Draper club Wednesday af' ternoon at the home of Mrs. H. P. Crowther. It was a most delightful event.
 Miss Kempthorne outlined in a brief and vivid way her aims with the little ones, showing how she is able to arouse and hold their interest when beginning piano lessons, even at the early age of seven. By teaching them to help each other, she increases their alertness and powers of observation, The Americans, she says, have pro gressed furthest in writing simple and entertaining studies for the piano, that attract by appealin gto the imagina' tion of the child by a ready resem' blance to nature and It's games, which resemblance is often suggested at first by an attractice name.
 The children were asked to give the different five finger exercises and scales; and these they transposed with great readiness through six diff ferent keys. While one played the other looked on, often singing a little rhyme to the melodies of the key board. The facility and confidence at tained was a convincing sign Sf the signal success of the method, Duets were played by the children with Miss Kempthorne and with each other and lastly, one accompanied the entire group in closing song.
 In concluding, Miss Kempthorne read of the work of Mrs. Copp, of Bos ton, who has successfully trained a corps of seven hundred teachers These in turn put into praceice hel theories with regard to an early nc quaintance for children of notes and their functions, so that the symbol oi the printed score is related to the key and the tone in various combinations.
