MAINTAINS NON-COM-
 INITIAL ATTITUDE
Brinkley Chautauqua Extends Invita- tion to Gov. Hays-CannOt Say He will be Candidate nor that
 He Will Not Enter Race

Little Rock, June 4.- Gov Hays still maintains non-committal atti- tude toward the question of his can didacy for another term. The effort of the Rrinkley Chautauqua manage ment to bring out the candidates seems to have proven intellectual. In ack- nowledging the invitation to attend Statesman's Day at the Brinkley Ctautauqua, Gov. Hays says:
 q thank you very much for the in vitation to be in Brinkley on June 10th, when Senator LaFollettee is to deliver an address as feature of the Chautauqua course.
 ''If nothing prevents, I will be very glad to accept tlss invitation, but cannot say at this time that 1 will be a candidate, neither do I say that will not be candidate. Regardless of my final determination in this mat ter, 1 am of the opinion that it would not be best to open the campaign at that time, making it practically of nine months duration"

pod River Flood is Receding Rapidly Repairs May Be Started Satur- dav.-River Falls Foot;
 Was 27 Feet Last Night

Renair work on the break in the gas main near Garland City may be start od Saturday with probability of gas in Little Rock and other places sup nlied by the Arkansas Natural Gas Company by Monday, according to 8 ronort received last night. Red river is falling rapidly and water in the overfowed district is returning to the river through the break in the levee through which it entered.
 The river fell foot yesterday and last night was at a stage of 27 feet. This is four feet below flood stage when the levess hold, but with the break in the levee the overflow began at 29 feet. It is thought the fall will continue rapidly and that the river will be within its banks by Sunday.
 As soon as the current in the low lands. where the pipe is broken slack ems sufficiently to allow boats to be anchored over the break, the ends of the line will be raised and tempor- ary connection made.

COMPARATIVE STATE
 MENT OF LABOR
Number Days Worked Reached High est Point Last MOnth-1913 Shows Percentage Loss .04235
 Per Cent from Sickness

Little Rock, June 4.-Commissioner Burkett has prepared an interesting comparative statement of labor per formed at the State Farm by the states convicts. In May, 1913, there was total population of TOP. in May, 1914, there were 1,030, and last May this had increased to 1,284. There are now in the penitentiary 4O8 white males, $50 black males, and 26 black females, but no white women.
 During the month of May, 1913, total of 17,637 days was worked, in twenty-eight different employments. This was increased in May, 1914, to 23,2S4 days, and last month it reach ed the highest point, of 31,25S days. In 1913 there was a loss in labor on account of sickness of .04235 per cent, but this was decreased in the last month to only .03605 per cent. There were 2263 days of sickness ir May, 1913, 1,50S in May, 1914, and 1127 in May 1915. Much time is spent in clearing new land on the farm, as shown by the fact that 61O days in May, 1913, were employed in that way, 2,539 days in May, 1914, and 10,- 127 days in May, 1915. In May, 1918, three were 2263 days lost in sickness and idleness, which was reduced to 1127 days in last month.

COMMISSIONERS
 RENDER ACCOUNTS
Indebtedness to State is S2.000 '-f0p Keeping Prisoners in Peniten- tiary-COunties Should Settle
 and Collect from Estate

Little Rock, June '4.-The Peniten- tiary Commissioners have rendered accounts to the various counties that have had prisoners in the state peni- |tentiary awaiting execution, for the cost of keep. The total amount of the bills is about S2,000, no payments having been made by any county. Attorney General w. L. Moose, in a letter to Commissioner Burkett, says:
 ''The costs in all such cases should be paid by the counties in which the persons were charged with the com mission of the crime, provided the same could not be made out of the convicts estate.
 "Of course the Poard of Peniten- tiary Commissioners could not inquire into the question as to whether the convicts estate is solvent or not. The counties in my opinion should pay the costs due the renitentiary Commis- sion, and then undertake 70 collect the same from the estate of the convict, if there is any property of the convict out of which the money can be made /. but when the officers of any county see fit to deliver a prisoner to the peni- tentiary for safe keeping, these off, cers should make provision for pay ment of the costs of keeping prison CTS; and likewise, when a person is convicted of crime, and is trans ferred to the penitentiary to be kept there until the time of his execution, all his cost in my opinion should be paid by the county. If the prisoners estate is solvent, the county should reimburse itself out of the convict's estate.'

MODESTY NOW USED
 IN ADVERTISING

A. H. Smith, manager of the Pres colt Ice X Milling Company, owner of the franchise for PARFAY in this ter ritory has received new series of ad Ivertising matter from his concern and has been displaying the same to inter ested callers for few days. He stated to-day that wonderful change has been made in the last few years in the advertising business and that the key note of general publicity now is simplicity, the use of modest language and the elimination of all bombast and complicated pharseology.
 ''The other extreme we all recog nize in the circus poster" said Mir Smith, "and while the public is amused and sometimes attracted by big claims and unwarranted promises, tho effect is often just opposite from what the advertiser desires. Today it is we'll recognized that advertisers should claim facts and facts only and we de pend upon the intelligence of the pub lie and upon a proper faith in the claims made in the columns of honest newspapers The public today is apt to believe the statements made by an advertiser until they find out differ ently.
 "The campaign for our new drink, PARFAY, has been based upon a be- lief that nothing should be claimed that cannot be proven and the unusual success that PARFAY has secured in this territory has been largely due to the principles which goven our adver- Using. No effort is malc to deceive the public, but We do emphasize the fact that we have splendid drink that men, women and children can use every day with benefit to them and we show the facts upon which PARFAY bases its claim to be the worlds finest soft drink"
 Practically every soft drink dealer in this community is now selling PAR FAY due to the great demand for the uTlnk Dy the puOlic, ana, dS dpouI 10 per cent of the advertising is done in the newspaper it is fair to assume that the public believe what they see in their home paper and act upon the suggestions contained in it's columns.
