81 would not have minded
the weight, but Farmer re-
fused to box. He clinched
throughout the match and
the referee gave him the de-
cision. No wonder the police
closed the boxing game in
Tacoma.
Maybe we had cinders in
our eyes, or our glasses were

Der anything about Farmer

ARK KANSAS MINING PROGRESS

Little Rock, July 6.--Commissioner John H. Page has returned from an extended tour of the zinc mining counties of North Arkansas with a most optimistic report of the actual work done and the prospects for fu- ture development.
 Conditions for the profitable eX- ploitation of the Arkansas mineral district were never so favorable. An average of S5 to 100 car loads of ore is being shipped monthly, bringing in about $200,O00, or two and a half mil lion dollars annually. There are 25 or 30 mills at work in the district, comprising the counties of Boone Marion, Searcy, Newton, Baxter, Full ton, Sharp and Lawrence.
 The Arkansas ore is of a superior quality, and much of it commands a premium on the market. Forty pei cent is the selling basis for carbon ates, and 50 per cent for jack. Car bonates sell at $60 a ton and Jack at S90. A car load of carbonate will run from $500 to S1,800,' and, carload of jack from $2,500 to 5000.
 The mining camps show great activ- ity, and all who engage in it with good judgment find it very profitable. MT. Page declares that with the devel- op.:e.t COW TT progress, t w:!l be- come one of the greatest Z!nc fields in the world.

Decisions of Courts Aftf cling Labor in 1915

>trary. Questions of the inclusion or reason of occupation also cause di verse opinion in the different states, even where the terms of the acts are practically identical.
 AS in all recent years (since the enactment of the federal law of 190S), the question of what employees on rail- roads are engaged in Interstate com merce, and therefore entitled to. sue under the federal liability law. gives rise to many difficulties, and the rul- ings continue to be far from har- monious, though clarifying decisions have been rendered by the supreme court of the United States. The same is true of the hours of service and safety appliance acts of congress ap plicable to railroads, under which several decisions appear. <.
 In an address at the second meet- ing of the association the United States commissioner of labor empha- sized the seriousness of the unemploy- ment problem, the importance of the public employment office as a con- structive agency for furnishing real work to real workers. the magnitude of the work accomplished by such of- fees in the face of great difficulties, the need of complete statistical re- cords and the necessity of co-opera- ton between the federal bureau of la bor statistics and the state offl> es. Other papers related to the wrong way to conduct system of public employment offices: what must be done to make them more effecti>e: policies and methods of employment agencies maintained by employers associations: regulation and control of private agencies: distribution uf abor, and the problem of transporta- tion; a plan for gathering and dis tributing farm hands in grain states, and women's employment office. In addition there was a report on the condition and management of public employment offices in the United States, showing wherein some offices had succeeded and others failed, and offering suggestions for increasing their efficiency.

 At the third meeting of the asso- ciation papers were presented on the problems of organizing a state system of employment offices; experiences in extending and improving the work of a public employment office; devel- oping a farm hand business; the na- tional farm labor exchange; the plac- l ing of women by public employment offices; the immigrant worker and the i public employment bureau; the inn migrant and the industrial world, and vocational guidance and public en- ployment offices.

CITY PLANNING RESULTS.

A gentleman in Pine Bluff who IS a devout believer in his town and a booster of it's future, and who has been delving into city planning talk, asked for instances of what city planning has done in America.
 Here's the answer:
 No entire municipality in America has been planned as such except Washington, and the capitals de- velopment has not been entirely un- der the control of congress.
 The very best residence districts in America, however, have been planned and executed as an entirety. When ever resident of Pine Bluff gets to Baltimore he should visit Roland park; in Kansas City, visit the Coun- try club district; in New York, visit Forest Hill gardens on Long Island; in Cleveland, visit Shaker heights.
 He'll come back to Pine Bluff quite enthusiastic!

 Appendices to the report give the resolutions adopted as each of the three meetings of the association, re- cent statistics of public employment offices in the United States, Great Britain and Germany, and a transla- ton of a series of tables with explain atory text, prepared by the German imperial statistical bureau and pub lished in the German Reichs -Arbelts- hlatt. showing the present status. of unemployment insurance on the ba- sis of official sources and of reports prepared for the general convention at Ghent of the international Associa- ton on Unemployment, in September 1913
 Twenty-Five states in this country have provided for public employment offices and already v such state of fees have been esta blshed in 76 cit ies: 30 municipal public employment offices have been established in con- nection with the division of informa- tion of the United States department of labor in 30 states. A tabular state ment shows these bureaus according to their character and location.

One of the never-failing indices of prosperity is the expansion of life in surance. According to this index the United States was never in more favorable condition. Last year 220 insurance companies paid out total of $733, 100000 in death claims, en- dowment maturities, other benefits, premium savings and cash value of surrendered policies. The amount paid out exceeds that of 1914 by SAT- 00O,O0O. The accounts of the insur- ance companies as given by the ln- surance Press show that the amount of ordinary and industrial policies written and renewed in 1915 was $3,- 6O4,OOO,000, an increase of $245,000,- 900 in comparison with the amount tabulated in 1914. The year closed with $22,726,OO0, insurance in force or an increase of $1,269, 100000. The number of policies in force is now more than 42,426,000. Of course this number is not by any means confined to the United States. Four large companies do a business in Europe and a huge number of policies are held by persons in those countries, but the proportion of our population who maintain some form of life in- surance is rapidly increasing.
 One thing which points even more strongly to prosperity in connection with the annual statement of the life insurance companies of the country is that last year the amount of new loans made on life insurance policies was the smallest since 1909 The policy loan accounts of the companies show a total of $691 ,259,000 for the year, an increase of $34,09l ,000 com pared with an increase of S67 ,S54 1000 in 1914 and an increase of $63,725, ,000 in 1913. That the increase in loans was so small is attributed to the gen. eral betterment of business conditions which became apparent in the latter part Ol lJlo dIiu was dSSCIlCUaICu " the outbreak of the war in 1914. It Is significant that in the decade 1905-15 payments of the life insurance com panies have more than doubled.
 The Canadian companies have kep' pace proportionately with the activit! of the American companies when thu war is considered. New business amounted to over $20,OOO,OOO con trasted with decrease of $3,OOO,OO' in 1914. Payments totaled S4,575, 900. Canada would seem to be shar ing in American war profits.
 The amounts paid out on singl policies were huge in 1915. The larg est insurance paid in 1915 was held b Dohr1aan J. Sinclair of Stubenvillt Ohio, 4ssS7s475. sIn New York cit some large amounts paid were: Noi man B. Ream, $222,980; William N Twins, $2O0, ,0o0; Herman Ridder, $165

According to the opinion of we'll informed attorneys, the holders of special school district bonds can force tax assessors to assess all property at it's full value in order to provide revenue to meet bond payments. 1t will thus be seen that unless the voters of Arkansas pass amendment No. l2, which offers an unoppressive means of financing our schools and estab- fishing a sinking fund, the alternative may be an exorbitant tax rate.

 Liability Laws Stand Test.
 Most numerous are decisions relat- ing to workmen's compensation, the scope and effect of this new type of law being not yet fixed with sufficient clearness to preclude a considerable amount of litigation. However. this represents but a small fraction of the number of cases settled under these acts, many adjustments taking place almost automatically. Some at tacks were again made last year on the constitutionality of such laws, but none was successful An interesting point discussed is as to the applica- tion of hte law of state to cases of employees injured in interstate con- merce.
