WANTS TO ESTABLISH
 WILD FOWL REFUGE
Federal Game Warden Agitating Question of Establishing Refuge and Game Preserve in State
 For Wild Fowl.

Little Rock, June 27.-For some time E. V. Visart, Federal Game h. spector has been agitating the estab- lishment of a wild fowl refuge and game preserve in the state. Discuss ing the project MT. Visart says:
 "The time has come when the state of Arkansas should provide some suitable place where valuable animals and birds may be permitted to rest and rear their young without molesta- tion from man. It is time for the farmers of Arkansas to demand of the members of the legislature the enactment of law that will stop the wholesale slaughter of the wild life of Arkansas.
 q have recently received letters from several commercial clubs of the state to donate suitable tracts of land for the establishment of preserves, and am thinking seriously of accept ing some of the offers. The proposi- tions are that the land selected be deeded to the state or the U s. Gov ernment and set aside as either a state game preserve or a national pre- serve, to be stocked and properly po- Heed by either the state or the U. s. Government The latter plan would, I think, be preferable as un- der our present laws the state has no funds for such a purpose,
 "E. A. McIlhenny of Louisiana, who is leading a movement to establish a chain of wild fowl refupes through out the United tSates, has made an offer to the state of Arkansas that if We will at a cost of not less than S200,000 establish in this state a wild fowl refuge stock it, and deed it to the state.
 The overflow from such a preserve would not only keep the county in which it is located well stocked but would assist largely in stocking the entire state with the most valuable animals and birds.
 "l will if successful in arranging to establish game preserve consider first the location, which must be suit able for the propagation of wild life, such as elk, deer, turkey, quail, pheas- ants and other animals and birds of value. Second to be considered will be offers made by the different com mercial clubs, and l shall be glad to correspond with the secretaries of any such organizations on the subject.

LITTLE ROCK HAS S20,000
 IN STATE NATIONAL

Little Rock, June 27.-Since the fail ure of the State National Bank the city of Little Rock has designated the Southern Trust Company as the depos- itory of city funds. The city has about S20,0OO tied up in the State Ma tional, but it is amply protected by the bond of the city treasurer.
 Some of those familiar with the af- fairs of the State National are now predicting that the bank will not only pay the depositors in full, but will pay the stockholders 40 or 90 cents on the dollar.

MEMBERS BEING URGED
 TO PAY POLL TAX

Little Rock, June 27-The Young Mems Good Government Club of Lit tie Rock is one of the most active fac tors in the cause of better politics. There are several hundred members of the organization, and all are being urged to pay their poll-taX. They are being reminded that if the poll-tax is paid on or before Friday, July 8, 1914, the tax payer, if otherwise qualified, will be entitled to vote at any general or primary election held in the state of Arkansas prior to the first Monday in July, 1915
 "If you have not thought to pay your poll tax. do so at once," says the Secretary, L. P Biggs, "or without fail before July 8, 1914, otherwise you will be barred from participation in all elections within the above defined period. The strength of any organiza- ton is in the ability of its members to be able to vote, therefore the remind CT"

FUTRELL WILL
 PRESIDE OVER NORMAL.

Little Rock, June 27.-Prof. !. c, Futrell, president of the University of Arkansas passed through Little Rock, Friday evening, enroute to Pine Bluff, where he will prside over a meeting of the branch normal committee of the Board of Trustees of the Univer- sity. The principal topic for consid- eration will be the sale of the present normal site and the purchase of a large tract of acreage near that city, upon which to establish a more eXten- sive branch normal, with agricultural pursuits made the chief topic. As the grounds of the present normal are quite valuable, and the business men of Pine Bluff favor rather than object to such a change, for it will increase the attendance of the institu- ton several fold, there is little doubt but that the property will be placed on the market, and negotiations open ed for another site.

EASIER TO SHIP
 LIVE STOCK NOW New Quarantine Regulations Facili- tate Interstate Transporta- ton of Cattle and Hogs.

Washington D. C., June 27-New regulations governing the interstate movement of live stock will become effective July l, 1914. These chang es are designated by the Department of Agriculture to facilitate the movement of live stock from quaran- tined areas of from public stock yards. The new regulations, which are known as E. A. I. Bureau Of Animal Industry) Order 2iO, super seding B. A. 1. Order 143., deal with the shipment of cattle from tick-in- fected areas, with the movement of swine from public stockyards and with the dipping of cattle and sheep for scabies.
 Hereafter cattle that have been dipped once under State or Federal supervision may be shipped from an area quarantined for ticks to a mar let center where there are proper dip 1 ping facilities and the Department f of Agriculture maintains an inspec- tor. After a second dipping there under his supervision the cattle may be sold for any purpose. Hither to it has been necessary in times of drought for cattle owners in quaran- tined areas to slaughter their stock or sell it for slaughter for whatever it would bring. The resulting loss will, it is hoped, be done away with un- der the new regulation.
 The provision permitting, under certain conditions, the transportation of hogs from public stockyards into interstate commerce has been made possible by the discovery by Govern ment scientists of a serum which renders swine imune to hog cholera Hitherto all stockyards have been con sidered as infected with this disease. Now, however, it is considered safe to permit the shipment of hogs which have been treated with the serum and which show no symptoms of suffering from any form of disease. As re- suit of this it is expected that thou sands of light weight hogs will be sent from the stoekyards to the country for feeding and fattening and that the country's total production of pork will be greatly increased thereby.
 The new regulations also withdraw all permission for the use of nicotine solutions, coal-tar creosote, and cresol preparations in the official dipping of cattle and sheep for scabbies. This step has been made necessary by the difficulty experienced in keeping baths of this nature at strength sufficient to eliminate all danger of disease with out having them so strong as to be injurious to the animals themselves. 1 The department, therefore, decided to insist upon field test of the strength of all solutions used for dipping. A practical field test for this purpose is available in the case of the sulphid sulphur used-i in lime in sulphur baths ! for scabbies, and for arsenious oxide in arsenical dips for cattle tick. Off, cial dipping, therefore, will hereafter be confined to the lime-and-sulphur and arsenical baths.

BAUXITE COMPANY HAS
 ANOTHER INNING IN COURT Litigation Over Assessment of Pro- perty in Saline County Has Been in Court fer Five Years. As
 sessed at S47,000,000

Little Rock, June 27.-The litiga- tion over the assessment of the Amer ican BauXite Co.'S. properties in Sa- line County had another inning this week in the Circuit Court of Saline county. It has been on for five years, and the assessment has been gradually increasing since 1909.
 In 1909 the property, consisting of l2,000 acres of land of which about LOGO is underlaid with bauxite depo- sits, was assessed $99,000. This also included the plant That year the State Tax Commission took up the matter with the Board of Equaliza- tion, and it was raised to S250,000. In 1911 it was raised to $300,0OO. In 1912 an assessment of $3,000,00O was made, but this was appealed to the circuit court which reduced it to S350,- O00 In 1913, Assessor Shoemake broke all assessment records of the state by assessing the property at $47, 100000. This was reduced by the Board of Equalization to $2,4O0,O00 which was sustained by the County Court. An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court, which last Thursday handed down decision at Benton fix ing the assessment at $876,000, in- cluding the plant and the lands. Facts were brought out, however, which the state believes it will be able to use in boosting the assessment-to an even million. By agreement last Spring the company had paid taxes on an as Isessment of $576,000
 In the hearing in circuit court, the county was represented by David A Gates, chairman of the state Tax Commission, Pros. Atty. Utler and Attorney George Vaughan, while Tom M. Mehaffey and J. F. Loughborough of Little Rock appeared for the Baux- te company.

DRAMA FOUND IN EVERYTHING
Philosophical Tribute to the MorbidIy
Curious, Who Are Subject to
Much Criticism.

Dickens noted in his day--as / in
mine-how casual people in the street
would flatten their noses against the
window of chemists shop in order to
catch a glimpse of some little surgical
repair which the victim of trivial &C.
,ident might be undergoing in the back
parlor.
Morbid curiosity" says the superior
person, who may none the less have
taken his own measures to become &C.
luainted with each CORY detail. The
superior person is VIGOROUSLY short
sighted and may even be said to wear
blinkers; the nose fatteners are not,
perhaps, articulate, and can give no
philosophical description of the
promptings which move them, but
they are swayed, however, uncon-
'ciously, by the excitation of their dra-
matte sense.
They are doing reverence, though
gnorant, to the foundation truth that
there is drama in everything and even
in nothing.-Percy Clare, in London
Chronicle.

The Perpetual Blunderer.

Ever meet the affable gentleman
who smilingly confesses that he has
made o mistake in some matter or
other and is richly and profoundly re-
gretful-won't you forgive him-and
bear the penalty of his blunder your
self, like jolly fellow? Fine, gen.
tle-mannered, valuable acquaintance,
isn't he--this fellow with the infinite
capacity for laundering and the gen.
erous capacity to apologize and leave
you to hold the bag, puzzled to know
just why you grasped hold of the
thing? Afterward you regret meeting
him and try to transfer your business
elsewhere. don't you? OF course, all
Of us make mistakes in Judgment and
act1on--and most of US are quite ready
to condone the occasional lapse from
accuracy-but what shall we do with
the fellow whose blunders average 80
pen ceni or more? Where is his place
in the business system of the world?
Ought he not. as a mark of apprecia-
tion. be given job driving garbage

fifty years ago, a very wealthy man
in our city came driving along toward
high overhead railroad bridge. |
was playing with some companions
of mine on the bridge.
| cannot exactly remember why 1t
was done, but l fished penny out of
my pocket and was showing it to my
boy companions when it slipped
through my fingers and dropped to the
pavement below. The wealthy old
man drove up, and to all appearances
he was in deep thought with his head
buried upon his chest.
He saw my penny, however delib-
erately stopped his horse, getting out
of his carriage, picked up that penny,
pocketed it, and returning to his wag
on drove off as II nothing had ever
happened.
There was sad heart pulsing over
his head, can tell you, for penny in
those days was as big as dime Is
to boy today, and l felt the loss
Of 1t keenly. That man was a multi.
millionaire, and by just such little
things as that was how he was con-
stantly accommodating more all of the
time.
The average boy Of today does not
take advantage OF his opportunities
to make and to save. There seem to
be too many forms Of temptation
thrown in his way to rid him Of his
extra dimes and nickels, when if they
were saved and deposited in some
savings institution startling result
would be achieved in few years

GET PORTABLE STILL
Revenue Men Seize MoonShiners'
Tiny Outfit in 0zarks.
Weighing Only Few Pounds, II Often
Was Carried From Place to Plaza
by One Man and Hidden
in Woods

Springfield, Mo.-"Old Tuxedo" the
wandering still of the Ozark country
moonshiners, claimed by nobody but
Zealously guarded by many friends
along the Big Creek valley in Texas
county, has been captured by James
Case, deputy internal revenue collect
or, and arrived in perfect condition in
Springfield
The still, which ultimately will be
sold at auction, was located by Case
after quiet search of several days,
hidden under bushy fence row near
Hartshorn, Texas county.
For several years the officers have
been trying to locate the old still 1t
was Familiarity known to the residents
of Texas county in the little region
where the moonshiners had operated,
but all were equally ignorant of its
whereabouts. The reason for their ig-
norance, the revenue officers learned,
was that "Old Tuxedo remained but
short time in one place.
The arrest several months ago of
Pete Barton, indicted by the federal
grand jury on a charge of making
whisky without license, caused a
halt ia the mconshine business in the
vicinity of Big Creek and gave the
officers hint that Barton might have
been the latest owner of "Old Tux
edo" A fermenter had been found in
Barton's place by the revenue officers,
but he had stoutly maintained that
he knew nothing of the whereabouts
Of the noted still.
Deputy Collector Case camped in
the vicinity of Big Creek for a few
days and let it be generally known
that he was there to stay until "Old
Tuxedo" was found. Men who. had
been engaged in the making or selling
of whisky showed signs of fear and
offered to aid the government officer
to find the plant.
After numerous conferences the
stills location was made known to
the officer, and following the direc-
lions of his infcrmers, Collector Case
soon discovered the little booze"
maker in fence corner 1t was COW
cred with shrubbery, but was not dam
aged.
The old still is believed to be the
most perfect specimen of the moon
sinners art that had escaped the rev.
enue officers. Without a flaw, except
ing one place where the worm" has
been repaired, the still, cap and worm
are in perfect condition and could be
put to use Immediately by an expert
enced moonshiner
The famous little still weighs only
IS pounds. 1t consists of a copper
boiler about as large as an ordinary
wash tub. On top rests the copper cap,
through which the steam of the whisky
or brandy mash passes into the con-
densing worm before it is changed into
corn juice" or apple brandy.
The manufacture of whisky or
brandy is not difficult and is mex
pensive. The completed product can
be sold for 80 cents a gallon. 1t may
be made from sour meal, apple or
peach vinegar.
The still has handles on each side
of the copper boiler and might easily
be moved from place to place by one
man. 1t is not more than three feet
high, and could be concealed entirely
in a patch Of weeds.
