The total amount collected in in. surance taxes by the state in 1914 for last years business was $1l2,740.93. compared with $63,1621. The last legislature changed the basis of taxa. tion from l-2 per cent of the net, to 1 1-2 per cent of the gross. A tax of , per cent was also provided on busi- ness written in unauthorized com panies, and this yielded $746.24. The old basis of taxation was in vogue ia Arkansas from 1875 until the enact ment by the 1913 legislature of the present law. Until the new law was enacted, insurance companies paid a tax only on the net premium receipts and some of the companies escaped paying any tax at all during those years when their losses equaled their premium receipts.

 for Operations.
 Berlin, April 9.-Professor Czerny, celebrated Heidelberg surgeon, pulp fishes in the current number of the Deutsche Revue a summary of the re- suits observed by him in 4,0O0 cases Of cancer treated by radiun since 1906.
 His conclusion is that ;, cures have undoubtedly been effected by means of radium and mesothorium, although they have been permanent in only some cases.
 Prof Czerny favors the acquisition by the imperial government of large supplies of radioactive substances for invalids entitled to the benefits of the state insurance system.
 He thinks it premature to substitute Tadium for operations and favors the removal of cancers by the knife and then the application of radium for the prevention of a recurrence of the growth. Professor Czerny treats su- perf1cial cancer with mesothorium.

TEMPE
SWIMMING A COMING
 PAsT|ME IN TEMPE
Clear, Flowing Waters of Salt River Are Attracting Many to It's
 Banks Every Evening

Were the question to be asked of a Tempe resident on most any day this kind of weather, which is the most popular amusement resort in Tempe this evening? Almost cer- tain would come the answer, The swimming hole in Salt River, just north of the buttes.' Rapidly is this spot gaining prominence as the weathe- seemingly grows warmer and The folks of the town begin to seek a place where they may cool off for at least an hour or two out of the twenty-four.
 Nearly any time during the day. bathers may be found enjoying the refreshing waters of the Salt within the vicinity of Tempe, either at the Point of Rocks, just north of the larger butte or at the .-ipples to the rear of the little butte. But the real time of day for swimming is in the evening according to the many who seldom pass a day without enjoying a short time in the waters of the salt.
 AS high as fifty have been seen in the river at one time on an evening already this year. And from day to day the increasing presence of bath CTS at the Rapids is easily noticabl The good word has been passed along and is being passed along, un- til swimming is going to become the one popular pastime with Tempe folks not many days hence.
 Certain additions might be made along the water edge that would add materially to the pleasure of visiting the river evenings Dressing rooms Of some sort or anothe- would be the big item. But even leave the rive, as it is now, and it will soon gair such popularity that local residents will flock to it's banks of an evening Tn r-increasing numbers. They1 enjoy the refreshing waters nightly too

UNIQUE PLAN TO KEEP
 DOWN DITCH WEEDS
Councilman Robert Scott has Devised Method of Keeping Town Lat erals Needless

A practical plan has been devised by of the city council, to keep the weeds and grass from rising to an unsightly height along the laterals and ditches running through the town. The feat ure if the plan is that it can be made to work at profit.
 MT. Scott has proposed that the town invest in fifty or a hundred young sheep and d few rolls of chicken wire netting and put the sheep to work on the Johnson grass growing along the lateras. He has it figured out that the gain in the weight of the sheep will pay their original cost as well as their keep. There are two reasons for get ting young sheep, one is that they can | be trained to stay within the netting with little or no trouble and another
 is that they will be less afraid of fogs 1 They will feed much better and will ] chop the grass and weeds much closer , There are a number of details that are | being worked out, one is to irrigate the north side park, fence it and make it
 a park in reality. This place could be
 used as a sort of a corral for the sheep
 at night until a better plan could be l worked out. Since MT. Scott has first
 made the suggestion on his plan of
 keeping the weeds down the idea has met with general approval and without
 a doubt it will be welcomed with hearty
 acclaim by every resident of the town. l For years past editors of the local | paper have railed at the condition of
 the lateral ditches, orators have talked Of the unsightly appearance of the i Johnson grass on the main streets,
 teachers have told the pupils of the unsanitary methods that are being al- | lowed and preachers have mentioned the matter from their pulpits but not Withstanding the general opposition, the weeds have continued to grow It has remained for MT. Scott to emerge | from his silence and propose one if the ! most practical plans yet devised for | beautifying the town and making mon-
