CLIFFORD DEVEREUX co.

The Clifford Devereux Company, a troupe of p Shakespearean players, will give two performances in Con way at Central College Tuesday and Wednesday night, playing Twelfth Night and ''The Comedy of Errors, two of Shakespeare most popular plays. Seats will be on sale Satur- day at Florence Drug Co.,, at soc and $1.
 Twelfth Night" is amazingly well acted in every part. Not only is it individually well acted, but it is con trolled so that the effects harmonize and reinforce one another and never clash or pull apart Playing out doors, with no changes of scenes, ex- cept a slight difference in furniture, IS an amazing advantage as heavy modern scenery makes it practically impossible to give Shakespeare with the ightness and speed which it re- quires. It is play one of whose peculiar merits is the number of ex- cellent parts, and in this performance there is not a single part that does no tmake it's own distinct and attrac- tive impress. Strong single effects are drawn together into lovely unity and the spectator goes away with still warmer feeling for one of the best balanced of poetic com edies

WILL SHOW HOW TO
 ELIMINATE MALARIA

Little Rock, March 23.-To demon strate that it is possible to eradicate malaria by removing conditions that produce it will be the purpose of Dr. k. H. won Ezdorf of the United States Public Health Service and his assistants, Dr. DevereauX and MT LePrince, who are now in the state. Dr. von Ezdorf addressed the student body at the medical college Wednes- day afternoon, outlining his plans. He will select some rural community where malarial conditions are preva- lent, and where the cooperation of local officials can be secured. For the next two years careful personal attention will be given to an inten- sive malarial survey and extermina- tive campaign, in the screening of houses, sanitation and medicinal treatment.

OLD RAGS BRING
 HIGH PRICE NOW

Little Rock, March 23.-The Little Rock Board of Commerce is calling the attention of the public to the cir ular issued by Secretary of Con- merce ". C. Redfield, with reference to the Shortage of Paper Material, and calling upon the people to 'save your waste paper and rags It is estimated that 15,0O0 tons of paper are manufactured daily, and that most of it could be used again after it has served it's first purpose, but it is burned or otherwise wasted Sec retary Redfield says:
 ''In the early history of the paper industry publicity was given to the importance of ying rags. It is of scarcely less importance now. A lit tie attention to the saving of rags and old papers will mean a genuine relief to our paper industry and a diminishing drain upon our resources of supply for new material"
 Old paper is worth about $9 ton, but it must first be baled, and few have facilities for baling it, or stor- ing it after it has been baled. More attention, however, is being given in Little Rock than ever before to say. ing it.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
-''::.:.:..ss.s.-s..:.;;..;.-s::..ss.s-.3.-.--
By J. P. Womack.

Are you interested in knowing how the public school money is applied in your public school? Then study the data offered below. It will take only minute to get a general idea of the whole plan.
 If we divide the amount on teach ers' salaries into 100 equal parts, we find that the figure or figures placed opposite the name of the subject indi- cates how many of these parts are spent on each subject In other words, the per cent of the money:
 Physical exercise, 1; routine, 1; in- dividual instruction, &; religious in struction, 3; writing, g.; spelling, '; reading, 12; arithmetic, IT; geog- raphy, 6; history, 2; English, 15; science, 2; algebra, s; Latin, 8; ge- ometry, 1; bookkeeping, l. cooking, l :; sewing, 3; banking, B..
 The per cent of the pupils taking each of these is indicated next: Phy sical exercise, 43; routine, 100 (no one takes this, it is a matter of lost time due to changing classes, marching in and out of the building, passing to and from the board, etc. :; individual instruction, 100; religious instruction, 100; writing, Il; spell ing, S4; reading, 68; arithmetic, 90 geography, 50; history, 35; English, 100; science, 25; algebra, IT; Latin, 9; geometry, ?; bookkeeping, 3; cook ing, 8; sewing, 8; banking, 4.
 Now suppose we see how many les sons child can get for S1 of tax money. The figures placed after the name of the subject will tell you Geometry, 31; sewing, 37; algebra, Il; Latin, 45; cooking, 45; banking, 45; bookkeeping, 48; history, 73; arithmetic, 78; English, 99; reading 118; geography, 123; spelling, 179; science, 1S1; writing, 345; religious instruction, 800.
 Can you spend a dollar that will go further than in your public school?

A pleasant reminder of the fact
 that winter has passed and that the sunny skies and balmy breezes of spring are almost here, is the sight
 of the fruit trees which are begin ming to bud and blossom Some
 farmers are planting corn, others are l getting ready to plant. That our peo-
 pie are yet full of vim, get-up and
 do-something, is shown by the work
 they have done and are doing
 M. c. Hawkins has torn down his
 small residence north of town on his
 farm, and will soon have ready to
 occupy a new roomy house instead.
 Many others should follow his ex- 1 ample and build new homes and make
 home and farm life more pleasant. The old farm life is one of the most
 pleasant of all, when people are in
 condition to enjoy it and make it | so.
 One of the most pleasant occasions
 we have enjoyed of late, was the
 mass meeting of many of the citizens,
 both men, ladies, boys and girls, last
 Friday night at our school building,
 where all had met to boost the school
 interest of the community A great
 interest was shown. Prof. Hubbard
 of Elpaso was present by invitation, and gave us one of the best and most
 interesting talks we have ever heard, both as to literary work and it's bene- } fit to the young men and young ladies of our country, and also as to } it's pleasure in rural life, discourag- ing the habit of the boys and girls wanting to leave the good old farm for life in the city. Prof. Hubbard dealt with many phases of life, show ing in each, the benefit of being edu- cated, and the pleasures it gives, and abhoring the idea that i've cant, but that we can if we will, and that the ladder of fame and progressive ness is before all, to grasp and to use. He showed how pleasant and profitable rural life could be made and enjoyed. At the close of Prof Hubbard's address the future school interest was presented by the school board, and subscriptions were taken to add to the school fund. About $500 has been subscribed already and many of the patrons yet to see. On next Saturday night there will be an. other meeting at the school building for the same purpose. Prof. Hub bard has promised to be with us again, and also to have the band boys and girls of Elpaso to come with him to help make the occasion more plas- ant There will probably be a box supper and program of readings songs, etc, for the pleasure of all who may come. All are invited to come and enjoy the occasion with us Dock Lawson oI near Turnip White county, visited his sister, Mrs c. J. Hatfield here Sunday.
 P. P. Talley, our life insurance agent, after a week out in White county, is spending a few days al } Conway.
 Our many beloved and honoreC candidates shot off their guns here Thursday. Some of them warmed up good deal. Those passing by hearing such earnest appeals, thought an old-fashioned camp meeting ser. mon was being delivered. It seemed unjust criticism was a little rife with some, and needless. They art all good men.

Old Dominion

Much interest isfcentered on the COM
ing meeting of the Old Dominion COM
pany which is scheduled for next FIJI
day or Saturday. This is another Bos-
ION copper which has been earning big
| money through the prevailing high
prices of its product and an increase in
the dividend rate is expected
At present Old Dominion is producing
| little better than 100000 lbs. OF
copper q month. or 36.000.O00 lbs. a
wear. an increase of 100000 lbs over
the 1915 production. AS the company
| is able to produce copper as low as
| cents pound. and with the metal sell
| ing at the present price of 20 or 80
cents a pound, the earnings per share
are approximately $40 year. The div
| idend for the first quarter of 1915 was
| $3.50 a share ard, while it is certain
| that the next dividend will at least
! equal this, in view of the increased
output and the incidental increase III
earnings, It seems reasonable to eX-
| pect that OLD Dominion will increase It's
! dividend to at least SO a share.
The London market for copper has OF

of this sort is not apt to affect earn

1t is probable also, that the drop Ill

who should know that high per copper

Another Great Loss

The sudden demise of Mr. Charles
Grimes OF Kingman has caused
more genuine grief and sorrow.
He was really beloved by every
body who knew him. he was genial,
good soul and lived to do good. He was
alwavs the foremost in any move of
charity and helpful in every degree
where he could do good. He was al
ways happy and loved to see others in
the same condition Probably nothing
afforded him greater happiness than to
be of service in this direction. Oatman
unquestonably owes its place on the
map today to Charles Grimes. He stood
ny the Tom Reed when in its darkest
hours. all hope had apparently flown
aut he had unwavering faith and con-
fidence in it. and no power could
sWerve him from it. After passing
| through many trials and tribulaions
with the property and his private af-
| Cairs in connection with it. the prop
| arty stands today, an effective monu-
ment to his great faith and confidence
and the whole camp owes its prosperit!

He did nobly well and he passes from

The Law of APEX

critics is sensible way of preventing |

les operating in the Miami district |
waived their extra-lateral rights in or

nounced that the Detroit Copper COM
pany and the Lazinskys have made a
similar arrangement in the Morenci
district. An earlier instance. which
proved an example worthy of imitation.
was the agreement between the Copper
Queen and the Calumet & Arizona
companies in the Warren district. Mr.
James Douglas, speaking for the Cop

Character of Mercury


Metallic mercury, so striking as bt
ing the only metal that is liquid at or
binary temperatures is in its everyday
aspect sufficiently well known. but
Possesses properties that may escape
ordinary observation. Everyone has
noted It's great weight; it is 1883
times as heavy as water, and conse
quently far surpasses silver and even
cad in specific gravity. Thus. rough
" speaking, q pint of water will weigh.

great density of the latter, taken il
connection with It's extraordinary mo-
bi.ity, has ar important bearing on
It's metallurgy, as we Shall see. The
means that have to be employed to
prevent its escape through minute
cracks and cTevices during reduction
and to hold. it in transport, render i.
an exceedingly troublesome material in

The Ajax Property


The Ajax property. located ten miles
southwest from Superior, is now under
going extensive development. 1t is
property of great promise and has at
tracted good deal of attention.
The outcropp:ngs are very strong
and are traceable fer 800 feet but are
barren. However. the vein was found
to ne heavily mineraliZed at compar-
ativcly shallow depths At a depth of
% feet twenty EIGHT tons of solid ga

The mine workings so far as they
| have been extended have not pro-
crossed in depth beyond the leached
portion of the vein. Numerous cavities,
large and small. partly filled with the
| leached and oxidized remnants of the
| formerly existing ore bodies have been
| cut in all drifts ana cross-cuts. Evil

| copper minerals ar everywhere present.
| Bornite and chalcopyrite are found in
the lower levels but only where they
are encased in dense quartz and are

1t IS the purpose of the management
to sink the shaft to depth of 500 feet
| in the expectation of reaching the. zone
of the secondarily enriched copper ores.
The property may now be said to
have fairly graduated out of the pros
pect stage and to have entered the
status Of mine since 10000 tons of Il
good grade Of concentrating ore are
now available for stopping. This ore is
especially well adapted for concentra-
lion ny the flotaton process with sub
sedTent separation of the lead and zinc
