,1fADY DECREASE
 IN INDEBTEDNESS
r,oating Indebtedness of State Decreased About S3OO,OOO Since April 21, 1916-Will Re- ceiye Million by August.

I;ttle Rock, April 25.-There has hoan a steady decrease for the last ,hrso years in the floating indebted .oss of the state, as represented by .ho unredeemed outstanding warrants ,r the general revenue fund. When tbe system of daily balance sheets WAS instituted by L. L. Coffman, then s.ote auditor, Oct. IA, 1913, the bal srre was S250,6S3.0S. This was after tbe tax revenues for the preceding year had all been collected and ap- nnpd to the debts against the state.
 The amount outstanding on April 2l of each subsequent year is shown in the following statement:
 April 21, 1914. .$792, ,640.41
 April 21, 1915. ......... 770,325.61
 April 21, 1916. ....... 462, 2,975.93
 Practically nothing of the 1915 taxes have yet been paid into the treasury. The payment of this will soon begin, and between now and Aug. 15, over million dollars will be paid in on that account. This will be sufficient to wipe out the deficit, pay the running expenses in the mean time, which will be approximately SlOO,OO0, and leave a balance in the treasury of nearly $200,000. Once again the state will be on a cash basis, and with wise management it is believed that it can be kept there. There is one item of expense that will be almost wholly eliminated at the next session of the Legislature. The session of 1915 was called upon to appropriate about $300,0O0 for de- fciencies and special fees. These amounts will this time be practically negligible.

TURNS OUT 1881 MEMBERS.

New York, April 25.-The Calvery Baptist church of this city has dropped 1881 names from the church roll owing to general indifference and non attendance of the church ser vices. This is one of the strongest and most influential churches of the Baptist denomination in America and the pastor and active members are determined not to carry so much dead weight in the church.

MOORHEAD WRIGHT APPOINT
 ED RECEIVE CONTRIBUTIONS

Little Rock, April 26.-Moorhead Wright, president of the United Trust Company of Little Rock, has been ap- pointed b-treasurer of the British French-Belgian Permanent Blind Re- lief War Fund for soldiers and sailors and will receive all local contribu- tions to the cause. In an appeal that has been addressed to American bankers, philanthropists and business men, it is stated that there are thous- ands of French. British and Belgian soldiers who have been blinded by the war. They are unable to work at their former trades, cannot support themselves, and their governments, -burdened with more immediate problems, can do little to aid them. Six months training, however, can train them to follow useful and re- munerative trades. The purpose is to make these war victims self-support- ing, and to enlarge and improve the institutions where especial attention is given to the needs of the blind

Prescott will have to go some to do it, for there are plenty of youngsters who could line up a club here in a few hours time that have played professional, bush league and back alley and all degrees of baseball that could wallop the best that Pres colt, or any other old town, could send here.-Hope Herald.
