TAX COMMISSION
 MAKES CHANGES
Senator Harry Harris of Clarendon Made Secretary to Succeed Ed
 Stanley, Resigned.

Little Rock, April 21.-Two changes in the employees of the state tax commission were made at meeting of the commission yester- day. Senator Harry Harris of Clar- endon was elected secretary to suc- ceed Ed Stanley and Eldon Brown of Des Arc was elected stenOgrapher to succeed Miss Laura Jacobson. Bruce Bullion was retained as clerk of the commission.
 The changes will tkae place May 1. Members of the board of control of the state charitable institutions said yesterday that no changes would be made in the heads Cf the four state charitable institutions before June, when two of them, the. Arkan- sas school for the blind and the Arkansas deaf mute institute, would be closed They declined to discuss any changes that would be made.
 It is said that in addition to the change to be made in the heads of two of the institutions numerous changes will be made by the new board in the professional men em- ployed by the institutions, including physicians, dentists and engineers.

FOUR THOUSAND
 ACRES ALFALFA
Estimated 35,0OO Pounds of Seed Have Been Sown on Pemiscot
 County Farms.

Charlottesville, Mo, April 22.-It
 is estimated that there will be 4,000 acres of land newly planted in alfal- ia in Pemiscot county by the time the planting season closes. A recent estimate of seed handled in Caruth- ersville places the amount at 35,000 pounds, sufficient to SOW more than 1,75O acres, and this does not take into account the sales by merchants at Hayti, Steele or Cooter or the outright purchases by the farmers themselves. Alfalfa has always been profitable crop here, it being easy to secure four or five crops during season and averaging a ton to the acre per crop. The planting of this is not confined, it is said, to any particular part of the county, but each section is seeing more acreage this year than ever known before devoted to this crop. Apparently the planting of alfalfa is an answer to the demand upon the people to grow less cotton and more feedstuffs.

BUSINESS LIGHT
 IN THE COURTS
Only Three Cases on Police Docket During March-Constable Says
 Picking Is Poor.

Local court records disclose the fact that there has been very little lawlessness in Paragould for several months. During the month of March there were only three cases docketed in police court, and the dockets in the three justice of the peace courts are almost bankrupt of criminal and misdemeanor cases. Constable Lee O'Neal says he is not doing enough business to make a decent living, and members of both the old and new police force are authority for the statement that there is practical ly no lawlessness going on in Para gould. The situation is a most gratifying one for a city of eight thousand population. In other cit ies of this size robberies, hOld-ups, blind tiger operations and other forms of law violation are of almost dail occurrence. There has been some petty thievery in Paragould during the past severe winter, but even that has stopped since the weather has moderated and work has opened up.
