CHARITY
BOARD TO serve
WITHOUT SALARY
Social Welfare Council
Would Reorganize Admin
istration Institutions.

Little Rock, Sept. ia move to
reorganize administration of state
charitable institutions in Arkansas
and to place social workers at their
head without salary, "instead of poll
ticians who serve merely for pay y
was taken Wednesday by the Arkan-
sas Cooperative Council for Special
Welfare, at the old statehouse.
A central board of control for al
state charitable institutions was the
plan suggested. This board would
have seven members. The functions
of the proposal were general, and the
council would act as overseers. Each
separate institution of charitable ma
ture would have it's own board OF
managers, to be appointed by the
central board of control. The super
intendents of these institutions would
be elected by the board of managers
of each. Absolutely no salaries would
be paid, the only amounts to be al
lowed would be used for expenses
The plan also provides that the Sec
retary of the central board of control
should be a trained social WORKER.
The council is composed OF repre-
sentatives from the Arkansas CONFER
ence for Social Welfare, the Farmers
union, the Arkansas Bar ASSOCIATION
the Arkansas Medical association, the
Arkansas State Teachers association
tho Women's Christian Temperance
union, the Arkansas Federation OF
Women's clubs and the State Fedora
ton of Labor.
Officers of the Arkansas Conference
for Social Welfare are: Rabbi LOUIS

frock. Here, it is made with a round
collar and the round collar is especially
liked for the boys. Il seems to give

can be cut a little lower and finished
with frill or with an edge of lace or in
some such way that will make it quite
dainty enough for the wee girls. Also
the edge is straight. AS a result, it
can be used for embroidery or for
houncing. A very pretty little dress

Increases Are General Through
out Country, Says Fed
eral Bureau.
ABOUT 81 Per acre PER YEAR
Estimates Based Upon Reports From
Crop Reporters Show Few Es-
ceptons in General Upward
Trend in Rural Districts.

Washington.-The value of farm
lsnds of the United States, without i'm
provements, is estimated at S45.55 per
acre. as compared with s40S5 year
ago. s40.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago, and s36.23 four years ago
The census reported the value of farm
lands in 1910 as s32.40. and in 1900 as
1857 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about per cent year. or approx
mately 81 per acre per year. The ex-
ceptional increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
ton in the Southern cotton states fol-
lowing temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices. particularly of
grain.
Increases have been general
throughout the United States. the only
noteworthy exceptions being orchard
lands and some irrigated lands in the
Northwest. which apparently had been
overvalued before.
The percentage increases in value
of farm lands in the past year by sec
tions of the United States are: North
Atlantic states. 10 per cent; eastern
part of north central states. 8 per
cent; western part of north central
states. IL per cent; South Atlantic
states, 19 per cent; south central
states, II per cent; far Western states.
IL per cent; entire United States. 11.5
per cent.
The percentage increases In farm
land values in four years. that is.

II per cent; eastern part of north cen

South Atlantic states, 23 per cent;
south central states. 25 per cent; far
Western states, "a per cent; entire

no power of decision of the question

to Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need. even If we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
