very wonderful toys.
1t has been arranged to use the
dolls as decorations for the Christmas
tree in the playlet, How the Christ
mas Tree Got its Gold" given by the
little Palama children on the last
night of the performance and be sold
at auction after the play. This viii
work in nicely as the plays have been
made very short on account of the
young folks, the three performances
being over at about half after nine,

The old English playlet has been

New York City three-year per cent. notes reached new high level, while London ex- change dropped within fraction of the lowest price within a year.
 General news included unofficial indications of a substantial increase of the December tonnage of the Steel quiries by leading railroads and a resumption of operations of various mills and factories Other featur es were a new high price for wheat, and a western freight movement ex- ceeding that of last year

Little Rock, Jan. 18.-The general committee organized shortly before the converting of the legislature for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear upon the legislature to pass a bill putting the state charitable insti- tutions upon a more efficient basis is at work and hopes to accomplish tangible results. It is the purpose to remove the management of these in- stitutions, if possible, from the inhu- ence of politics Those who are back of the movement also hope to do some thing for the reinstatement of Dr. J. l.. Greene as superintendent of the state hospital for nervous diseases, although this will not receive so much attention as the larger measure for the purifcation of all our state insti- tutions from the influence of practical politics.

.22,309 BALLS
 C|NNtD 10 JAN.

According to bulletin received to- day from the United States census bureau, 22,309 bales of cotton were ginned in Faulkner county prior to January 1 comparing with 23,80O last year and 2O,685 to the same date two years ago. Only 291 bales were ginned in the period from December 13 to January 1, against 955 in the same period a year ago.
 From January 1 to the close of the ginning season last year 1,524 bales were ginned, making total crop from the growth of 1913 25,324 bales. From January 1, 1913, to the close of the season only 4S4 bales Iwere ginned, making the total crop ,685 bales. The remaining bales to be ginned this year will probably be the smallest on record.

THE NEW ELECTION ACT.

Senator John l. Moore has intro duced bill which seeks to prevent fraud in elections in this state. The principal feature of the measure is that it makes provision for election contests in the courts, thus repeating the judge made law of the Arkansas supreme court which limits contests to the party councils. A number of other provisions are intended further to safeguard the ballot and all of them to be well-considered
 The bill, however, proposes to changed the time of holding primary elections from the fourth Wednesday in March to the first Tuesday in May, and this, we believe, would be unwise, as it would mean the elimination of a large portion of the vote among farm CTS who would be unwilling to go to the polls at the busiest time of the year. The two general elections should be consolidated, and the cleo tion for the state, county and town ship officers should be held with the federal election on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This would permit the primary cleo tion to be held in the early part of August, when crops are laid by and the farmers would have sufficient time both to attend campaign speech es and go to the polls and vote.
 Another feature about the bill which we cannot favor is the provis- ion for holding township ard county preceding the primary election, and the selection of the coun-
 ty central committees by the conven-
 tion. So far as the conventions is lconcerned it might well be abolished as it has outlived it's usefulness since the primary election has come into vogue. But the selection of the cen tral committee by the convention we feel sure would not meet with the ap- proval of the voters of the townships, who doubtless feel fully competent to Iselect their own party representa- ti\ ac

INHERITANCE TAX
 MAY BE INCREASED

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-Senator Gar rett of Clark county today introduced in the senate a bill amending the Arkansas inheritance laws. The bill makes no change in the per cent col lected, but does in the way of calcu- lating the amount of tax to be paid. At present it is possible on an estate of $20,000 to exempt $15,000 if there is widow and a sufficient number of children to claim exemptions. The state then collects on the 5000 about $50. Under the Garrett act the state will collect $450 on the $20000, and the heirs will still have their eXemp- tions, for the tax will be collected on the total, instead of on the residue after their exemptions have been de- ducted. It is figured that this meas ure will increase the revenue of the state several thousand dollars an nually.
