lioner of agriculture, in behalf of Mr..
Page. said that money paid out to an
expert chemist for alalyzing CONNER
cial feeds and fertilizers had been in
strict accordance with legislative re-
gulations The Legislatures of 1911
and 1913 appropriated money for en-
forcemnt of the feed and fertilizer
laws. In 1911 the appropriation was
in blanket form, but in 1913 there was
$500 appropriated for fees for
chemical examinations of feeds and
fertilizers.
Under the statute chemists receiv-
ed IS for each sample of food or COM
mercial fertilizer analysed. The sam
pies were submitted TO the chemist
by the inspectors formerly provided
for. The inspectors as we'll as the
chemist were practically done away

partment.
I'm regard to certifying to county
clerks the number of tags issued, that
charge cannot apply to this admins
tration. The time for certifying these
licenses to county clerks is in July"
said Mr.. owen.
Relative to the $500 the committee
says this department had spent for au-
tomobile repairs during the last 60
days. large part was for the old bills
created during previous administra-
lions. and the balance for new tires,
procured preparatory to the summers
work and which now are on hand and
in good condition. They probably will
last the entire season.
only one free automobile tag has
been issued in Little Rock since the
committees first report However. if
the State or county should buy doz-
en- or more cars. in order to protect the
public by identification and because
State or county property cannot be
taxed, | would continue to issue tags
to them.
AS 20 the charge that w. W. Dick
inSon sold the rock to the Lincoln
County road improvement district, and
had the department deliver the same.
it is absolutely false, as shown by the
departments records. The depart
ment had a written contract, and at no
time had any connection, either direct
ly or indirectly. with w. w. Dickinson.
However. this also was under the prev
ious administration, and If it We're true,
could not be charged to my admins

tive to the automobile tax issued to
Judge Coe of Tuckerman for 1914, and

full. 1t is only fair to state that l did
this without the sanction of Superin-
tendent Cook and that no warrant OF
his was ever cashed in this way. This
custom did save the State discount on
postage warrants, etc, and avoided
selling salary warrants at discount.
All certificates chargeable to this
money were carefully recorded and
here never was the least thought OF
misappropriating these funds. Final
settlement was made before the new
law regarding the payment of fees
went into effect and this law has been
at all times unscrupulously observed.

the slightest irregularity in regard TO
the travelling expenses of Superintend-
ent Cook All vouchers for State war

travelling voucher is always accompa-
led with an itemized statement OF ex-
penses. as the law requires, otherwise
the State auditor will not issue war
rants therefor. Railroad fare, where
passes are used, is never included IN
the expense accounts. The law, more
over. provides that the State superin-
tendent may accept passes, but these
are not of service for any part of an
Interstate journey, and the passes Ger
tainly do not include livery hire, no.

MILLTNERS AND MODISTES
DISPLAY NEW STYLES AT
FLOWER MARKET IN SQUARE

Models employed by Philadelphia mod
istes and milliners decked themselves in
spring finery of the latest fashion today
and strolled to Rlttenhouse Square to lend
a touch of one Of the picturesque fea-
lures of Longchamps and Auteull TO the
Flower Market
The pride of the designers OF this city
was considerably hurt by a recent report
that Washington, ID. c., was about to
become the fashion ceutre of America, and
decided to put forward the claims of this
city by displaying today some striking
hats and gowns.
Tho, models were told to promenade leis-
urely about the walks OF the Suuare,
mlnsling with the visitors, sit at the tea
tables and be as much in evidence as
possible without crudely demonstrating
the nature of their mission. They were to
seek to lend an artistic flavor to the oc-
casion as regards attire.
This was the first time that models
nave appeared at the Flower Market.
