created wide interest. More than
200 families, according to Mr.. Tel
ier, now live on the $4,000 acres
involved The land is valued at
more than $6,0OO,OO0. The case is
one of 10 brought by w. N. Mills
and the late Col. w. G. Whipple,
special assistants to the United
States attorney general, to recover
the land from the present claim
ants. 1t involves Moon lake, which
has been held by Lee Wilson, presi-
dent of the Jonesboro, Lake City and
Eastern railroad, and well known
capitalist of Eastern Arkansas. The
lake comprises $50 acres.
WILL SUE LUMBER COMPANY.
The decision of the court, Mr..
Teller said, probably will mean
the immediate filing by the United
States district attorney, w. H. Mar
| tin, of several suits against lumber
companies which have been operat-
| ing in the sunk lands to recover
damages for trespassing and timber
removed Five suits to recover
other land, including Buford's, Clear,
Flat, Walkers and Grassy lakes, are
ready to be submitted to Judge
Trieber by Mr.. Martin. Three suits
recently were filed. 1t is probable
that one other suit will be filed
soon. These and the suit just de-
cided will include all the land in the
district. A large portion is held by
the Tyler Land and Lumber Com
pany and other large lumber con-
Germs operating in Eastern Arkan-
saS.

around it claimed it under RIPARIAN

Later an attempt was made to have
bill passed by congress quoting
the title to all the land in the dis

the house lands committee and did
not become a law. Early in 1910

CRIMINAL DIVISION
OF CIRCUIT COURT
(From Saturdays Daily Press)

(From Saturdays Daily Press)
this morning opened the lists Of
grand and petit jurors who will
serve at the December term of the
criminal division of circuit court,
and today the lists were placed in
the hands of the sheriff so he could
issue summons on those selected TO
serve as jurors.
Mr.. Watson says the docket this
term is not exceptionally heavy,
though it is expected the session
will hold for the full three weeks.
The Chas. Myers case, brought to
this county on a change of venue
from Poinsett county, will probably
be tried at this term. Myers was
once convicted of rape and sentenced
to die, but secured a new trial upon
an appeal to the supreme court.
1t is expected some disposition
will be made of the indictments
growing out of the municipal cleo
ton held in Paragould last April.
The grand jury, among other i'm
portant matters, will investigate
the charges of arson against Frank
Threlkeld, ]. w. Eaton and Lynn
Eaton. All three defendants are
now being held in Jail, being unable
to make bond.
The grand and petit jurors are as
follows:

mobile tax of ten dollars may be
paid in county scrip and that the
collector is acting without warrant
of authority in refusing to accept
scrip in settlement of the five dol
lars that go to the county under the
provisions of section "a, act 302 OF
the acts OF 1913, is the belief of sov-
eral we'll informed Paragould law
yers. This view is strengthened by
an opinion rendered by the late At
torney General Moose upon request
of tho tax collector of Faulkner
county. On August % of this year
the collector wrote the attorney gem
eral stating that he had been IN
sisting upon the payment of cash
in settlement of the ten dollar auto
tax, but that a question had arisen
as to the legality of his position
with reference to the five dollars
that go to the county. He asked
the attorney general for ruling,
and Moose replied that the countys
portion of the tax, amounting TO
five dollars, could be paid in county
scrip.
The collector in Greene county,
following the precedent set in the
beginning, has demanded cash in
settlement of the special auto tax.
1t is understood Judge Light holds
the ccunty's portion of five dollars
canno. be settled in county scrip.
Judge Light is out Of the city today
end could not be seen, but those
who have talked with him about
the matter say he contends the ten
dollar auto tax is intended for the
road fund, that the five dollars go
ing to the state is placed to the
credit of the state highway com
mission, and that theoretically, at
least, the five dollars allotted to the
county should be used for the up
keep of the roads. Acting upon
this theory he insists the five dollars
be paid in cash, and it is further
stated this money goes into an "iu-
cidental" cash fund used in purchas-
ing equipment for the road machin-
cry. The county has heretofoi e
been seriously handicapped because
firms dealing in road machinery and
repairs decline to accept deprecated
county scrip. 1t has been embar-
RAISING for the county even in the
matter of paying express charges Oh
rush shipments of repairs. Be
cause of this fact Judge Light one
year ago asked the quorum court 70
specify that one-eighth of one mill
of the five mill tax be levied as a
cash fund so the county would have
some real money to use in cases
where scrip would not be taken.
The countys part of the annual
automobile tax last year amounted
to $40, which was paid in cash
and placed in the Incidental" fund.
L. is understood that in the future
owners OF automobiles will tender
the collector five dollars in money
as the states apportionment of the
auto tax, and five dollars in scrip
as the county's share, and lawyers
contend the collector will be forced
to accept funds of this kind in set
Element of the tax.
Section "a, act 302 of the acts
of 1918, reads as follows:
1.-The tax collector shall collect the
sum of ten dollars from the owner
of every motor vehicle defined in
Act 1874, approved March "a, 1911,
one-half of which shall be paid into
the state treasury and credited to
the highway improvement fund, and
the other half shall be paid to the
treasurer of the county where the

BORE RUSHED TO HIS FATE
Doctor Johnson's Scathing Rejoinder
to Social Pest Who Asked Him
Impairment Questions.

Dean Swift long ago analysed some
OF the ways in which people tire each
other in conversation, says the Boston
Herald. The man who talks constant
ly and exclusively about his business,
his ailings, his family, his books. his
misfortunes, who always wants to pre-
scribe for his acquaintance or advise
them soon condemns himself to soil
tude even in the midst of numbers.
Labeled once with the pregnant mono
syllable, his way clears before him as
by magic, for others cultivate the
little strategies which keep them out
of range.
Yet any man may become bore at
times. A good deal depends upon
moods and circumstances. Poetic JUS
tice indeed would require that bores
be extinguished by enforced assocfa-
ton with their own kind The most
severe social punishment indicted
upon one of the species by a great
man who had not acquired the fatal
facility which tolerates fools was ad-
ministered by Doctor Johnson. Said
the bore:
MY dear doctor, what would you
give to be as Young and sprightly as
am?"
Thundered the photographer in re-
ply:
why, sir, I would almost be eSn-
tent to be as foolish"

MARRIAGES SHOW DECLINE
"Eugenic" Grooms Drop Under New
Law From 21,o52 in 1918 to
1925 in 1914.

Madison.-Under the eugenic mar
riage law the number of weddings in
Wisconsin declined from 21,052 to 1913
to 1925 in 1914, drop of 1897, nearly
20 per cent.
Figures for the last ten years have
been compiled by Dr. C. A. Harper,
secretary of the state board of health
and vital statistics, to present to the
legislature in considering the new eu-
genie marriage law.
DR.. Harper, who is an advocate of
the law, does not believe that the de-
cline can be attributed solely to the
law but that the general commercial
depression must be taken into con-
sideration.
1.-THE charge is made quite generally
ment of the so-called eugenics mar
riage law is responsible in large
measure for the decline in the number
of marriages. This charge, we believe,
is not wholly justified. On account of
the great prevalence of venereal dis
ease in the state it is only reasonable
to expect that there would be some de-
cline in marriages on account of the
inability on the part of the prospective
groom, who is afflicted with disease,
in obtaining a medical certificate. I'm.
doubtedly, some of the parties who
were unable to pass the required ex
animation or who suspected that they
could not pass the examination, went
out of the state to be married, and in
other cases the common law marriage
was resorted to.

prosecuting Will Whit, Balsam Lake,
Polk county, professional wolf hunter,
charged with having obtained bounty
fraudulently. Whit was bound over
and the magistrate ordered the arrest
of three town chairmen who, the testi-
mony disclosed, appeared to be parties
to some Of the frauds. This case is
the elimination of long series of eff
forts and Investigations by Assistant
Secretary of State L. B. Nagler, who
begun an active campaign eight years
ago.
The case is the first is what Mr..
Nagler promises Will be a series of
prosecutions for bounty frauds. He
has contended for a long time that all
bounty laws should be repealed, that
they always lead to fraud. More than
100000 has been paid in bounties in
Wisconsin during the last twelve years,
fully one-half of which Mr.. Nagler be-
lieves was paid on fraudulent or enron

DREW LESSONS FROM NATURE
Originality of College Professors Lee
lures Caused Them to Be ApPre-
ciated by Class.

There was a certain college profes-.
sor of machine design who was as
original in his views as he was in his
subject. One of his pet theories was
the interrelation between nature and
correct design. Boys" he would
say, there has been only one de-
signer who never made a mistake, and
the more we study his work, the bet
ter machine we will build. When you
put your legs under a machine, think
of horse or a COW, and get them
as far apart as you can-don't get
too much overhang at either end. And.
speaking of a counterbalance, study
the kangaroo; there is no prettier ex-
ample of equilibrium in all positions
The further over he leans the more
his tail comes into action off the
ground. And again, in speaking OF
general design, wherever possible, try
to work for elasticity as against rigid
ity. You find very little of the rigid
in nature, and little trees often sur
vive gale by bending. where big ones
are blown down." All of which was
undoubtedly very true, and made more
of an impression on his hearers than
some of the more complicated mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstrations that followed

Gilrs' Camps.

The American girl, while she does
not aspire to large muscles, or the
athletic records of boys, is coming
forward in these days to demand as
her right physical training that will
send her out into life with an endow-
ment of health sufficient to meet its
demands.
DR.. D. A. Sargent, director of the
Harvard gymnasium, tells us that
some twenty or thirty years ago he
had occasion to make physical ex-
animation of professional athletes.
Nearly every one of these men," he
says, who had become especially dis
tinguished, attributed his ability to
his mothers fine physique" With
out comment upon this unanswerable
argument for the health education Of
women, he adds another: Although
women constitute one-half of the hu-
man race and are largely responsible
for its upbuilding, they have a right
to a health education for their own
sakes."
The camp has opened the way for
others to follow.-Outing.

stantial size so far have remained out
side the provisions of the workmen's
compensation act. The annual report
of the commission, to be ready in Au-
gust, will show that in the year end
ing June 80, 1915, 10000 industrial ac-
cidents were reported; 1877 accident
claims were settled; SO per cent of all
cases were settled between workmen
and employers; thirty out of every
1000 accident cases were carried to
the commission for adjudication; two
out of every 1000 accident cases were
carried to the courts; $13,771 was the
cost of administering the compens-
alton act; $1,350,000 was paid out to
workmen for accident indemnity and

left no dependents; sixty left widows;
fourteen left a widow and one child;
