corn bread is "abOut as digestible as
a kneaded pincushion." Pretty nervy,
that, for citizen Of country that
doesn't know how to cook anything as

makes the mouth that knows it water,

reason that to attempt to do SO would
be to court certain death at the hands
of the treacherous and vindictive ma

ENGLAND WILL

Government Backs Down from Proposal to Tax Out
 Spirits.

London, May 1.-The liquor inter- ests have won their fight.
 The government has backed down and virtually abandoned it's drastic proposals for taxing the drink traffic.
 The following announcement was made tonight by the official press bu reau:
 "The chancellor of the eXchequer communicates the terms of settlement which have been reached on the uues- tion of spirits. The taxing proposals will be abandoned for complete prohi- bition of the sale of spirits under three years. There will be compul- sory bonding and surtax of shill- ing will be placed on all spirits be- tween two and three years old. The proposed duties on wines will not be proceeded with. The beer duties will be withdrawn"
 This result follows numerous con- ferences between MT. Lloyd-George and the representatives of the brew CTS and distillers and of the retail liquor trade.
 Plans for restricting the sale of intoxicants in the areas where mate rials of war are manufactured and where shipping is carried on remain Ito be worked out.

STATE AID TO
 HIGH SCHOOLS IS ATTACKED
EdmondsOn and Others In stitute Suit for Restrain
 ing Order.

Little Rock. May 7.-Senator w. C.. Edmondson, of Stone county, J. G.. Albright and other citizens, this aft ernoon filed suit in Pulaski chan cery court, to restrain state aid to high schools The suit is directed to M. F. Dickinson, state auditor, and R. G. McDaniel, state treasurer. It IS sought to restrain the auditor from issuing the warrants, and the treas urer from paying them, as drawn up on the vouchers of the department Of education.
 The validity of act 52S, of the ses- sion of 1911, setting aside $50,OOO year for aid to the, high schools, from the general school is attacked upon several grounds, principal among which are that it is in violation Of the law which provides that no money belonging to the school fund shall ever be used for any other purpose, and that no money shall be drawn from the treasury except ill pursu- ance of specific appropriation. The act of 1911 provides for $5O,OOO year to support high schools on condition that pupils anywhere in the county may attend free of tuition. An etfort was made by Representative Condray, Senator Edmondson and others in the last legislature to repeal the act. The bill passed the house and was de- feated in the senate by narrow mar gin. No bill was passed specifically appropriating the money. :.
 A meeting of the state board of education has been called for May 15 to pass upon the applications for aid. Up to the present time about 75 have been received, but the greater num- Der are expected next week. The court action, however, will delay the granting of aid indefinitely.
