"EVERYWOMAN."

Henry w. Savage, acknowledged as America's greatest theatrical and musical producer, is sending to the
 Kempner theatre, Little Rock, on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 2, with a matinee on Wednesday, his we'll known production of the dramat- ic spectacle, "Everywoman." This is the first Henry Savage attraction to visit Little Rock in two years, and though it has been seen in Little Rock three times before one of the remarkable things about Every woman," is that on it's third or fourth round to city it brings out an even greater attendance than the first time there. All this is tribute to MT. Savage, who never allows a production from his establishment to
 run down, but keeps them fresh and up to the minute. The production of l"Everywoman" is as careful and com

S9,OO0 LOSS IN
 PANCBURN FIRE

Pangburn, Jan. 27.-Fire of un- known origin which is said to have first been discovered in the rear of
 the building at about 3:30 o'clock yesterday totally destroyed the store building and stock of general mer- chandise of Eugene Skillern at Pang- burn. The building which was con- structed to veneer brick soon yielded
 to the flames which spread rapidly
 and were not checked, due to made iquate fire fighting apparatus in the town. Practically nothing was saved
 from the main store building; how ever, a large warehouse located about 20 feet from the rear of the store was not burned. In this building was stored large line of farm imple- ments, tools, stoves and heavy hard ware. It is estimated that the loss will total nearly 5000, the stock being valued at $5,000 and the build ing at $3,500. The loss is partially covered by insurance. The Skillern store was perhaps the largest in Pangburn and the building was prac- tically new, having been built in 1910.

 FRIENDS HERE.

In an interesting personal letter to
 Judge w. H. Duncan, Rev. Edward A. Tabor of Galt, Cal, pastor of the Conway Methodist church in the lat ter sos and early 90's, tells some thing of his present work on the Pa cific coast. Rev.

 You and all the good people in and about Conway will ever have a warm place in my heart. l had a very cheering note from Bro. Anderson a few days ago, and l especially ap- preciated President Millar's kind write-up in the Western Methodist as to my days in Conway.

 ONE OVER" SEN. CLARKE
APPOlNTEE AT WALNUT RIDGE UNCONFIRMED, CONGRESS-
 MAN HAS WIFE NAMED.
GAHtHI'&ts

Advices from Washington, D. C., would seem to indicate that the Hon. orable William A. Oldfeld, represen- tatlve from the Second Arkansas dis trict, has landed a swift occipital punch on the hoary dome of thought of of the Honorable James P. Clarke, United States senator from Arkansas. Tn their controversy over the appoint ment of a postmaster at Walnut Ridge, Ark.
 Recently President Wilson, at MT. Oldfelds request, nominated z. M. McCarroll as postmaster. Senator Clarke opposed McCarroll and sue ceeded in having the senate refuse to confirm the nomination.
 Now MT. Oldfeld has had the pres ldent nominate Mir. McCarroll's wife, Mrs. Pearl McCarroll, for the office.
 In other words, Mr. Oldfield is in the position of leaning back with folded arms and complacently say ing: Now, my dear senator, let us see if you have the hardihood to vio- late the sacred traditions of the south by opposing woman"-or words to that effect.
 It is said that Senator Clarke's op- position to McCarroll is due to the fact that the latter was opposed by the late James Surridge of Walnut Ridge, member of the State Board of Control of Charitable Institutions. Mr. Snrridva and Sapator ClarLo were warm friends. It is said the people of Walnut Ridge almost unani- mously favor McCarroll.
 The Gazette's correspondent in Washingto nlast night telegraphed that Senator Clarke said the nomi- nation of Mrs. McCarroll is not yet before the senate, and therefore he would make no statement.-Arkansas Gazette

BACK TAXES CLAIMS
 MAY REACH MILLIONS
SUITS BROUGHT AGAINST LUM- BER AND BUILDING-LOAN
 COMPANIES.

Little Rock, Jan. 29.-A large num- Der of back tax suits is suits to be entered upon the docket of Pulaski chancery court. Frank Pace and T. Marion Seawell of Little Rock have been appointed to bring suit against 12 lumber companies, and Troy Pace and Sam and Tom Poe have been ap- pointed by the governor as special counsel to bring suit against 3S build ing and loan companies, in all parts of the state. Special counsel may re- ceive compensation amounting to as much as 20 per cent of the amount recovered.
 There is no means of determining the amount, at this time, for which judgment will be asked. As the statute of limitations, however, does not run against back taxes, the amount will be very large, probably running into the millions, as it did in the case of the insurance companies a few years ago.
 The proposed suits against the building and loan companies will be on the theory that they have never been assessed in the same ratio of value as other property, whereas the law prescribes that they shall make a return of "the true valuation of all tangible property belonging to such company or corporation The com panies will contend that they have paid the full amount of all taxes that could be properly assessed against them

 State politics is warming up in this part of the county. That woman suffrage should be adopted by amend ment to the constitution of the United States has become a very popular doc Urine in this part of the county. Is politics proper field for women? Will it change conditions by adding one more vote to the family? It is not in keeping with the Democratic party.

NOW IS TIME TO
FIGHT HESSIAN FLY
Keep Down Volunteer Wheat
and Sow After Fly-free
Dates.

DdtN1s
On account of the dry wealth
err but few adult Hessian flies
have emerged from infested
wheat stubble, says T. J.. Tai
bert Of the College Of Agricul-
ture of the University of Mis-
souri,.
The pest may still be found
in the old wheat stubble in the
haxseed stage, when it can be
destroyed by blowing and har-
rowing.
If the blowing is done in Sep
TENDER, special pains should be
taken to work the ground into a
compact and firm seed bed. This
will prevent the fly from escap-
ing and the wheat will make a
much better growth during the
fall and early winter.
Don't fail to keep down the
volunteer wheat which will soon
start on the plowed ground"
advises Mr.. Talbert. "The de-
struction of volunteer wheat
starves the fly. Remember that
the food plants of the Hessian
fly are wheat, rye and barley
and that none of these crops
should be sown after the fly
free date, which is for northern
third of Missouri, October /.
for the central third, October 8.
and for the southern third, DC.
tober 16. These are the safe
sowing dates and they should
be observed in order to escape
injury from the Hessian fly"
A united fight should be mad,
against the fly, according to Mr.
Talbert, because if one farme.
sows his wheat early or fails t,
keep down volunteer wheat, h
may let enough flies live owe
winter in his early wheat t
come out in the spring and de
: stroy his own crop and tn
wheat crops of his neighbor
who may have sown their whea
on or after the fly-free date. Il
the spring the fly comes fror
early sown wheat and voluntee
