\ ROSE FAILS TO BUY
 A SEAT AT THE THEATER
Famous Mutual Actor Fails to See Values as It Was Hoped
 He Would.

!. Barney Sherry, the popular vet eran character actor of Thomas Ince's New York-Mutual Company, is a com edian. This is we'll established with those who know Mr. Sherry intimate ly, but to those who don't it must be- come known through association. Mr. Sherry isn't funny by reason of any slapstick activities in or about Ince- vile, but he is funny because he has the asset of ability to grasp situa- tion and create a laugh with a word.
 Indicative of Mr. Sherry's sense of wit is a story that was related about him recently in the studio at Santa Monica, Cal.
 When the actor was travelling with his vaudeville act several years ago he was accosted one afternoon in hotel lobby by a beautifully gowned woman The woman critically surveyed Mir. Sherry for moment, and as he passed her she tossed him a large red rose.
 The famous Mutual star gave no more than passing attention to the in- cident and went his way. The next day the actor found in his dressing room a sweet scented note. It was signed by the woman who had thrown the rose and contained an urgent re- quest that Mr. Sherry honor the sen der with two seats. The night passed and the following morning the post man brought the enthusiastic woman

The Convention Echo meeting held with Mrs. Charles Pittman on yester- day afternoon proved success, we think in the way of reports from the great meeting.
 They showed that the delegate did her full part in taking notes, and they also showed that it was one of the best conventions the organization has ever held and also showed that the temperance cause is no hackneyed subject, but one to call forth the best and highest in the Christian manhood and womanhood of the world, and in order to successfully combat the evil we must form a cordon from the cradle to the grave as barrier to it's advancement. This means a Loyal Temperance Legion among the child ren, A. Y. P. B. among the young people, and we must not forget to say white Ribbon Recruits among the ba- bies.

MIR. COOK ASKS EXAMIN-
 FRS TO COOPERATE

Little Rock, Oct. 22.-State Superin- tendent George B. Cook is appealing to the County Superintendent and Coun- ty Examiners for cooperation in the Profitable Farming Campaign.
 "This is a splendid educational movement" he says in letter to them "and will bring a number of trained experts into your county for meetings with the farmers throughout the coun ty at every available place, at farm sides and in the rural schools.
 "This campaign will do much to bring the farmer and the residents of the towns together on a basis of mutual helpfulness. It will give you an opportunity to do much to awaken interest in the public schools, to pres ent the need and value of the consti- tutional amendment to raise the local school tax limit from seven to twelve mills, to secure signers for thoese in itative petitions, to present other school matters, and to impress the IMPORTANT subject of diversified farming and better farming methods.

EXPENDITURES INCREASING OUT OF DEMAND
If Legislative Body Pursues Old Course new Sources of Taxation Must be Found or Direct Tax
 es Must be Increased.

Little Rock. Oct 23-"The con stantly increasing demands of the state make it impossible that the re- venues collected, under the present laws will exceed the expenditures for the malntainance of the government for an extended time" says State Au- ditor L. L. Coffman in his biennial re- port just completed. If the Legisla- tive body determines to follow the po- Hey in making appropriations which has been pursued for several years past, without regard to the amount de- rived from taxes, new sources of taxa tion must be found, or direct taxes must be increased for the general purpose of government.
 "The expenditures for the general purposes of government have increas- ed entirely out of proportion to the increase during the corresponding per iod immediately preceding, and entire y out of proportion to the growth and population of the state.
 "This vast increase of expenditures was coincident with the creation of the following causes: The appro- priation of large sums of money for entirely new purpose of government, towit; The four agricultural schools growth of printing and binding for the several new departments, the reform school, State Banking Department, State Board of Health, State Highway and Improvement Department, State Normal, Tuberculosis Sanitorium, La bor Commission, History Commission and Tax Commission. These are ex- amples of new undertakings upon the part of the state wich annually cost large sums of money.
 "Those seeking appropriations have pursued the policy of securing as large appropriations each year as they were able to persuade the Legislature to give, and by this policy the state has been going in debt. Large lump sum appropriations have been made every year, making it impossible for the res trictions which could be maintained were appropriations made for specific purposes. Heads of departments and institutions have in many instances, excepting in the last two years, ig- nored the amount of the appropria- tions fixed for their use, and have created obligations in large amounts for which there was no appropriation, trusting that they would be able to meet these obligations and wipe out the deficiencies from the money ap- propriated for the succeeding year.
