COUNTY JUDGES SUBJECT
 TO $50O.O0 PENALTY

Many county judges appear to be unaware of the fact that they are subjecting themselves to penalty of $500 by failing to file with the State Highway Commission report of road conditions in their several counties, as required by Act 302 of. the last Leg islature. Some weeks ago all the county judges were notified of the re- quirements of the law, and up to the present time only forty-fve have res bonded. The Commission will close it's report next week, and the other thirty counties should be in by that time to be included in the report to be made to the Legislature. Delinquent counties will he placed at disadvan- tage.

PRESENT STATUTE IS THAT
 OF WATCHFUL WAITING
Temporary Truce Declared While Each of New Charitable Board Prepare for Next MOve-New
 Members Return Home.

Little Rock, Dec. 24.-The present status of the controversy between the old and the new Boards of State Char itable Institutions is that of watchful waiting. A temporary truce has been declared while each is preparing for the next move. Just what that will be cannot be foretold with any degree of certainty. The members of the new Board have departed to their sev- eral homes, except that the Secretary, Joe Ferguson, of Magnolia, remains in the city. He has position, how ever, without any duties, as he has no office room at the Capitol, and the old board refuses to surrender to him any of the books or records of the Board. Both Boards have adjourned to meet again on Jan. 4, when the New Board will probably demand the books and records, and the offices, and the old Board will just as certainly refuse to surrender them. The indications are that it is the intention of the old Board to continue to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they were appointed, which will be on April 1, 1915. It is also probable that the new Board will seek to dis possess them by writ of custer or by quo warranto, so that they may secure possession of the books and records and proceed with the administration of the institution affairs. Messrs Dunaway, Parsons, Shane, and Love have shown no disposition to yield, or to acknowledge the authority of the governor to remove them from the Board.

London, Dec. 23.-Although further progress apparently has been made by the allies in their general offensive movement, the German armies as whole are standing fast, and so far as is known have lost no important sections of the long line on which they settled down after the retreat which followed the battle of the Marne early in the War.
 Today's official communications in- dicate that each side has had it's vic tories and it's defeats The French army chiefs state that they captured the last section of line of German trenches near Perthesles-Hurlus, where fighting has been severe for several days, and have made an aver age gain of 500 yards. The German statement speaking of this engage ment, says that the French attack was partly repulsed
 French claims to progress in Bel gium are denied in Berlin, where it is said that the British have suffered reverses at the hands of the Germans.

U. s. s. TACOMA IS
 AIDING IN WATCH
Assured in Washington That the English Ship Violating Neutrali- ty Carries Coal and Sup
 plies for British Vessel

Washington, Dec. 23.-Lieutenant Crenshaw, radio officer at the Panama canal zone, notified the Navy Depart men today that the wireless of the British steamer Protesilaus, in Balboa harbor, was dismantled by canal zone police, December 10 after it was found she had been sending code messages.
 The cruser Tacoma is at Cristobal to enforce neutrality and the Navy Department still has under considera- tion the possibility of dispatching an- other vessel to the canal zone.
 A British statement made recently to the Navy Department said Governor Goethals had said in written com- munication that he had been misin- formed when he charged that Brit ish collier was using its radio outfit contrary to neutrality. Officials here now assume that the governor has ref erence to another British ship which also figured in the official dispatches as having violated the canal rules by leaving Balboa without clearance pa pers and that that vessel has been confounded with the Protesilaus.
 The unnamed collier had no wireless apparatus.
 The Protesilaus is British mer- chant steamer of CHS tons, which under charter of the British govern ment sailed from Victoria, B. C., in

BLANKS BEING SENT TO
 PROSPECTIVE BUYERS
Fund Undertakes to Stand by Loans Until February 1, 1916, Through Thick and Thin. Loan Fixed
 at $50 on 600 Pound Bale

Little Rock, Dec. 24.-"It would be a disgrace if the fund loses one cent on it's business in Arkansas" declares the Arkansas Committee that has in charge the administration of the $100,- OOO,OOO loan to cotton growers. Blanks are being circulated throughout the state to be used by prospective bor- rowers. Moorhead Wright of Little Rock is general chairman of the Ark iansas Committee, and there are local communities at Fort Smith, Hope, Magnolia, Pine Bluff, Monticello, He lena, Forrest City, Paragould, Wal nut Ridge, Prescott, Conway, Blythe vile, Morrilton, Texarkana, Camden, McGehee, Warren, Marianna, oJnes- boro, Newport, Paris, Cotton Plant, and Piggott.
 The State Cotton Loan Fund Com mittee at Little Rock, or any of the local committees will furnish all ex- plantations upon request.
 1 Bankers and cotton owners should carefully consider the seasons ahead, -spring, summer, fall and winter,- and be sure that their community will not need the money after it is too late to apply. The minimum loan has been reduced to 5000 on twenty bales, for the accommodation of the smaller borrower. Under the original plan no loan would be made on less than 100 bales, and this caused a great deal of dissatisfaction.
 "The creation of this fund is a token of better business understanding and perhaps higher personal esteem between the cotton producer and those banks that have heretofore had closer relations with the spinner and the speculator. No one connected with the fund except the clerical force receives and compensation. That is enough evi- dence of good will. Were so many business men ever connected with a big cotton movement before without pay?
 "The fund undertakes to stand by its loans until Feb. 1, 1916, through thick and thin. The loan upon a 500-pound bale of middling cotton has been fixed at $50. One extra bale is pledged with every four bales borrowed upon to guarantee the payment of the debt and the completion of the contract. Thus in borrowing S30 each on twenty bales, the borrower puts 25 bales in the warehouse with a loan of $500. No deduction is made from this loan except 90 cents per bale which goes into a guarantee fund to pay the cleri- cal and technical expenses of the fund and to pay any losses that might arise through lawsuits or otherwise. h. terest will be payable quarterly at the rate of six per cent per annum. All loans are made through local banks.
 ''It is matter of sincere regret to all that the small farmer cannot be dealt with direct. The protection of the little equit is just as important to the committee as the protection of the larger farmer. There is no objec- tion to the bankers assembling differ ent mems cotton to make one lot and one loan."

.,ucT REMARRY FIRST WIFE
 AND PROVIDE FOR CHILDREN
,,,,,e Condition Attached to Pardon Issued Today by Governor Hays. Killed Second Wife and Given
 Twenty-One Years in Pen

1;ttle Rock, Dec. 24.-After divorc- - his first wife to marry another .swbom he had become enamored, and s.;rc sent to the penitentiary for the
 ~urder of the second, Tom Boyd is
 .ow free man on condition that he
 ..rarry his first wife, and provide for her and their five children the rest of his natural life; failing in this ob-
 ;cation. the pardon becomes null and void and he must return to prison to
 serye the remainder of his sentence. This is the unique condition attach
 ;oo to one of the Christmas list of
 eirhteen pardons issued Wednesday by Gov. Hays, six of them being from
 convictions on charges of murder in the second degree.
 Boyd and his wife resided in the Western suburbs of Little Rock "The
 other woman" he met when she came to his house as an agent, and he be- came enamored of her. Finally he divorced the first wife, and married the second. They lived together about year, but quarreled frequently, and according to the petition, she nagged him until he became desperate and bought a pistol with the intention of killing himself. When he returned home, the quarrel was resumed, and IS a result, the woman was shot and killed; it is said, however, that she had pistol also, and had her husband not shot first, she would probably have killed him. Sept. 21, 1910, he was con- yicted of second degree murder, and sentenced to twenty-one years in pri- son.
 Other pardons granted by the gov ernor are:
 Elias Johnson, Phillips county, App ri 1914, murder in the second degree, five years.

means that you cannot go into
the voting booth and write Il
hereby cast straight Demo-
crat," Progressive or Republican
ticket, as heretofor, thus voting
for all your party candidates with
one stroke of the pen. 1t does
not means that your party candi-

will appear the name Of the par
ty of which he is>the nominee.
The act of voting is less compli-
Gated than if you voted a

the line and place a cross mark
oppsit the name of each man you
wish to vote for. whether he is a
nominee of your party or not
That is all there is to it aside

AS the nominee of the Demo-

for this district l feel that it is
fitting at this time to place befor
the people my qualifications for
the high office of representative
and some Of the reasons why you
should support me in this cam
paign.
In the primary election l Was
the choice of the Democratic par
t. by an overwhelming majority.
and now that the campaign for
the general election is on and
party lines are no longer closely
Drawn we feel that it is perfectly
consistent to solicit the suppot of
every thinking person regardless
of past party affiliations.
The voters of this state are no
longer forced to vote a straight
tickit dy having a party emblem
at the head of your ballot but
are permitted to select from
among the various names on a
headless ballot the candidates
you wish to vote for.
So now since seventy five per
cent of the voters of this district
are farmers and stock raisers,
and in so much asI have spent
the better part of a busy life in
agricultural pursuits and stock
raising upon the plans of Eastern
Colorado, ! feel that l am we'll
fitted to represent you in the
Legislature of Colorado.
1t is my wish and desire to see
comfortable homes on every farm
in Eastern Colorado, and shall
use my very best effort to pro-
cure laws to attain that end.

FOR PRESIDENT WILSON

While Messrs. Willis and Harding
are attempting to belittle President
Wilson in the Ohio campaign. here is
what Senator Kenyon, Republican of
Iowa, said in the United States SEN
ate last Saturday:
"You have great leader, great
president, strong in the affections of
the people of this country. l pay trib.
ute to him. am glad he Is president
Of the United States in these troublous
times, and that with such a steady
hand he is guiding this old ship of state
through the rocks and shoals that are
besetting 1t. I glory in his manhood
You have a right to feel that this Is a
leadership to be proud Of"
And yet Of this same president, viii
lis and Harding have spoken in slight
| ing terms, and have criticised his poll
cy as puerile and pusillanimous.
