The Logical
Place to Buy
Your Piano
BROOKLYN'S BEST
KNOWN PIANO
HOUSE

After all is said and done the salts
factory purchase of Piano re-
solves itself into logical propo-
sition.
If you build house you get a
reputable architect not "a jack-of-
all trades.
If your eye-sight is failing you
seek a reputable oculist not
general practitioner.
And so the making, the selling
and the expert knowledge Of
Piano is special business in
itself.
Buying a so-called Piano is SIM
pie enough, perhaps, but at the
same time to buy service that
is going to be permanently help
full to you cannot possibly be got
from those who merely merchan-
disc pianos of various unknown
makes, no matter how honest the
intention may be.
Think it over, IT is really worth
while if you are going to buy.

CRAZY MAN
 CAPTURED
Had Tried to Hang Self With Small Rope.

Clifty, Ark, May 12- Special spondent)=M Much interest was aroused Sunday evening over the capturing of man who is said to be insane, and who gave his name as Clark Richard The man was going down Clear Creek when he called at the residence of Mrs. R. N. Ivie for q drink of water and something to eat. After receiving these from the hands of Mr Ivie he started on down the creek in the direction of Lewis mill.
 Mrs. Ivie, having been previously informed that such man was in the county, she phoned to Constable Al bert Bohannan, who immediately went in search for the man. When he met the man in the road he tried to hail him, but was given but very little attention. The man passed by and kept moving. MT. Bohannan started after him and he left the road taking to the woods, running him some distance before catching him. But very little information was brought out in the conversation with the man as he appeared insane. Bo- hannah searched him but found noth- ing in the way of weapons, but found a note which contained the following writing: Goodbye Brothers, Goodbye father. I am bound to die" The sup position is that the man has made an effort to hang himself, as his neck shows signs of having small rope or a wire around 1t The scar goes all the way around his neck. He was taken to Huntsville Sunday evening.

WILL VOTE On
 NEW LAWS
To Be Voted On By People at Next
 Election.

All bills to be submitted to the voters under the Initiative, must be filed with the Secretary of State by Thursday, and it now is a certainty that every one of the bills the peo- pie have undertaken to initiate, will pass before the voters in September. There will be three acts submitted under the Referendum, and four under the Initiative, and from now until the election, the voters will be submerg- ed in literature telling them why, or why not, their votes should be cast for certain bills.
 The Constitutional amendments to be voted upon are those for bond is- sues for cities, Lieutenant Govern or, and the placing of the legislature on a salary. All these will no doubt be adopted, for they are admittedly a step forward by the people of the state. erthe-less, there will be a healthy opposition to each=of these measures, for it is always easy to find few people who are even "agin" the government.
 The bills which are submitted will hardly be so lucky. for all of them, unless 1t is the publicity bill, will meet with strenuous opposition. The bank guaranty bill will be strenuously fought by the bankers of the state who contend that this is a vicious bit [ of legislation, and was drawn by one very ignorant of he banking business and who suggests nothing to further the protection of the depositors. The bankers claim the Oklahoma law has done more than any one thing to in- jure that state in the past ten years. The mine qualification bill will be fought by the mine operators, who see in 1t the most vicious bit of legis- lation ever brought before the voters of Arkansas and to those who have analysed the bill, ii would seem as though the miners are taking a step too far, inasmuch as this bill will take the operation of the mines out of the hands of their owners.
 The Child Labor Law is quite pop ular, for there never has been all institution in the state working child labor, and this means it will have lit tie opposition.

 CONTEST

 June 3.

Little Rock, Ark, May 10.-Asso- ciate Justice W. F. Kirby, who is contesting the action Of the Demo- cratic state committee in giving Sen- ator James P. Clarke the senatorial nomination certificate, stated tonight that he has about completed his con- test record and will lay 1t before the state convention when it meets at Pine Bluff iii June. He says he will be represented before the conYen- tion by N. A. Lamb of Jonesboro, Smeade Powell of Camden, Frank Pace of Little Rock and Jim Head of cording to his figures he carried 40 counties in the primaries which will have a representation of 321 votes in the state convention, while Senator Clarke carried 35 counties with vote of 30S in the state convention. The total delegated vote in the con- vention will be 629 Several counties, it is known, ignored the primary re- suits and sent delegations favorable tt the senatorial candidates who lost in the primaries. This applies to both Senator Clarke and Judge Kirby.
 The friends of Senator Clarke who have record of the delegations se- lected by the county convention state that the senator will have more than 150 majority in the convention and the figures may reach 200. Judge Kirby stated tonight that he is mail ing every delegate copy of the re- cord taken before the Democratic state central committee two weeks ago, when Senator Clarke was de- clared the democratic senatorial nomi- nee by 213 votes in the entire states Senator Clarke will return to Wash ington in a few days to look after his interests

State Aid to High Schools.

A meeting of the board which will apportion the S50,00O provided by the state for aid to county high schools, will take place in Little Rock, ay 2S, and the country high schools will then know what sum they will receive for the next two years. AS the number of schools ask ing for aid are increasing each year, the amount to be received by each is each time growing less. There is Rock, May 2S, and the country high schools, under state aid, for the fund comes directly from the common schools Many county school men claim their schools would be improy- ed by repeal of the act aproprat- ing the fund, and it is sure that a fight will be made on the bill at the next session of the legislature, but those who favor the bill do not fear the outcome.

STRAWBERRY SHIPMENTS
Cool Weather Makes Light Ship
 ments.

Straw wberry shipments from Spring dale, in car lots started Monday when the Berry Growers Association. with D crates from the Shippers Un- ion, made up the first car.
 Five cars have been shipped up to Thursday night
 The first car sold for s225, the second car for s200, and the others are rolling, and will probably sell as high as s200.
 The cold snap of Monday has caus- ed the slow ripenlng of the berries, and the northern markts, where over coats are needed, are not so good for berries.
 The berries this year are Of fine quality, firm and good color, and will command high price on the mar kets.
 Some growers are claiming a short age of pickers to handle the crop, and with warm weather the fast of the week, the berries will ripen very fast, and all pickers will be needed in the fields
