DISTRICT VOTES
1WflYE-MILL TAX
ANTICIPATES new LAW
DAMASCUS SHOWS LIBERAL
SPIRIT N SCHOOL TAX
LEVY.

Anticipating by about two wears
the possibility of an increase in the
maximum school tax levy, patrons of
district No. 10, the Damascus
special district, voted 12-mill tax
at Saturdays election, according to
returns received by County Clerk ].
A. Lea. An amendment, proposed
under the initiative, to increase the
constitutional limit of district school
tax from seven to II mills will be
voted upon in November, 1916, but if
adopted could not be put into opera,
zion before the school election IN
1917. The Damascus district levied
seven mills for teachers and five
mills for building purposes and it is
probable that only the first named
tax can be extended against the prop
erty in the district.
Returns have been received from
about one-third of the districts in the
county. AS Indicated by the first re-
turns, the proposition of county su-
perVlsion was Overwhelmingly defeat
ed. Several districts failed to vote
on the question but the nlaority Of
them voted unanimously against it.

TICK ERADICATION
PLANS INDEFINITE
LACK OF FUNDS DELAYS
WORK OF ADMINISTRATION
ACCORDING TO UNIVER.
SITY AUTHORITIES.

Plans for the enforcement of the
tick eradication laws in this county
are rather indefinite, judging from a
ietter received today by the Log
Cabin from an Official of
the University of Arkansas, through
the agricultural department of which
institution the new law is to be en-
forced. AS the act includes Faulk
ner county, this paper has received
many inquiries as to when and how
1T will he put in operation and the
Log Cabin-Democrat wrote some
time ago to the college of agriculture
OF the university requesting informa
ton for publication. The following
letter was received today:
Il wish tc say further in consider
alton OF the question raised by you
April 22d, relative to what can be
done under the new law in tick Grad.
lcation, that we are giving the matter
great deal Of study. | recently had
conference with DR.. Cow. 1t is orl
plan after the first of July to have
several men in the field who are ca.
pable of advising and demonstrating
dong this line, and these men are do
ing all they can do at present. but
there should be more work done anC
the question that we have to consider
IS whether it will be possible to un.
ieltake work in anticipation of the
funds for tick eradication which /
presume will not be available for a
year or more. Certain members Of
the board of trustees of the unive1
slty are members of the board of
ontrol, together with the president
OF the university and myself. | hope
to have meeting OF the board Of
control not later than the early part
OF June and then undertake to thresn
out the question and decide upon some
plan II possible. 1t is very prob
lematic, for we realize the great i'm
portance of getting work begun right
away. 1t is our desire to do so and
still without funds available it is
difficult to see what can be done le-
gally outside of the efforts that can
be put forth by our extension work
ers that we Will have in the fall.
They will, of course, do a great deal
of good, but under extension activi-
ties they can not undertake that def
mite campaign of tick eradication
that Is to be worHed out under the
!lck eradication act.
Il shall keep your inquiry in mind
and inform you as soon as | have
anything definite that we feel certain
that we can promise and live u pto.
De art making sacrifices now at the
college in order that some of our men
might work out of Little Rock to con
tinue rendering services in the north,
central and southern part of the
state wherever parties locally work
up an interest and want to do some
thing right away.

Sickness Costs Workers
Many Millions a Year

Washington, June 4.-Three-quar-
ters Of a billion dollars. at a very
conservative estimate, is the annual
money tax levied by ill-health upon
Wageworkers in the United States in
the form Of lost wages and expenses
Of sickness. The greater part of this
gigantic tax falls upon those workers
who are least able to afford it, since
sickness has been found to be much
more prevalent among low-paid work
ers than among those whose incomes
are sufficient to provide sanitary
housing, adequate food and favorable
surroundings in the home and in the
place Of work.
These conclusions are among those
given in a report ON sickness insurance
to the Federal Commission ON Indus
trial Relations which was prepared ii
cooperation with the United States
Public Health Service The report WAS
prepared by Surgeon z. S. Warren
Of the Public Health Service, who was
detailed as sanitary advisor 10 the
commission, and Edgar Sydenstrieker,
a member Of the commissions staff.
The estimate given above is based
on careful examination of the sick
records Of nearly a million workers in
this country and is found to CORE
spond very closely to the figures af-
forded by the sick records for a long
period Of years of about 26,000,00o

TRENCH HUM0R|ST
 VICTIM 0F BULLETS
Capt. Robert Patrick Miles Famed for Accounts of
 Life at Front

London, February 1.-(Correspondence or
 The Associated Press.)-The writer or the cleverest and most humorous sketches of trench life so far published in the Lon don papers has at last fallen victim
 to the bullets he used to joke about. Capt.
 Robert Patrick Miles of the Shropshire
 Light infantry, adored by his men, and
 one of the most popular men in Tipperary
 during the term he was sationed there,
 was killed on December 30 and buried
 in the village of Estaires. at the side
 of a fellow officer. He was the holder
 of several medals gained in the South
 African war and had some years ex-
 perience in India.
 The following extract from letter H. lustrates his easy style and quaint humor 'We all three feed together as we hao brought out a few things with us, in cluding, unluckily a pat of butter. II doesn't matter where or how carefully we put that butter away, it's on the fool in 30 seconds. Have you ever eaten blacf buttero This is a typical breakfast re quest, T say, old boy. you might pas' the butter it is stuck on your right boot. B. politely waves his boot in your al l rection and you help yourself.'
 Letters in this light vein prove suci | relief from the usual accounts that th | unknown author, for his name did no appear. was becoming locally famous Ill l last letter was published full week after his death. the news of which nat not then been received here.
