new ASSESSMENT
Is ORDERED MADE
IN CADRON DAM DISTRICT
ORDERS LANDS
TO BE TAXED ACCORDING
TO BENEFITS.

Chancellor Jordan Sellers today
revoked an order of the Faulkner
chancery court made yesterday, APP
proving the assessment of special
taxes in the Cadron Dam and Levee
District, made for the purpose of pay
ing engineering fees of the late
George H. Burr, and ordered a new
assessment to be made in accordance
with the provisions of the special act
creating the district.
The act provided that the taxes
should be assessed according to bene
fits, and Judge Sellers held that this
should govern the assessment, even
though the project had been aban-
doned, and that the assessment should
be based upon the benefits which
would have been derived to each
parcel of land had the intended i'm
provement been constructed, The
assessors, D. o. Harton, NJ. c.
Turner and A. j. Nesbitt, adopted the
regular general property tax assess
ment, in making up their report.
Another adjourned term of chan
Gerry court will be held here on Feb
ruary IA, Judge Sellers announced
today. Since the passage of the act
regulating practice in chancery courts
it is now possible to try cases within
a specified time after filing the COM
plants, without regard to the term,
and Judge Sellers has held several
adjourned terms, keeping up with the
work as fast as it accumulates. The
present adjourned term closed this
afternoon. Among the proceedings
this morning were the following:
Hammett Land & Timber Co. VS..
y. B. Abrams; plaintiff demurrer to
answer sustained; defendant demur-
rer to complaint overruled.
E. E. Jones VS.. w. J. and S. A.
Starr; motion for receivership de-
MED; defendant ordered to execute
to commissioner of court note for
5000 for rent and plaintiff authorized
to bring replevin for personal prop
erty if he desires; cause continued.
|. j. Atkinson VS.. R. c. Fisher ct
al; commissioner of court ordered to
rent lands and cause continued.

EAT WITHOUT FEAR
OF INDIGESTION OR
SOUR, ACID STOMACH
Instant Relief! "Pape's Diapepsin"
Ends Your Stomach Trouble
Forever.

Wonder what upset your stomach
which portion of the food did the
damage-do you? Well, don't bother.
If your stomach is in a revolt; if
sour, gassy and upset, and what you
just ate has fermented into stubborn
Jumps; head dizzy and aches; belch
gases and acids and erucate undigest-
ed food; breath foul, tongue coated
just take a little Pape's Diapepsin
and in five minutes you wonder what
became of the indigestion and dis
tress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have a
bad stomach. A little Diapepsin oc-
casionally keeps this delicate organ
regulated and they eat their favorite
foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is a damage in
stead of a help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless relief is
Pape's Diapepsin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful-it di-
gests food and sets things straight, so
gently and easily that it is really as
tonishing. Please, for your sake,
don't go on and on with weak, dis
ordered stomach; it's so unnecessary.

PAGES REPORT IS
MOST COMPREHENSIVE
VOLUME OF NEARLY 400 PAGES
WAS PRINTED AT A
CONWAY OFFICE.

Little Rock, Dec. 30.-The first
copies of the biennial report of the
commissioner of mines, manufactures
and agriculture have just came from
the press. 1t is the most comprehen-
sive report that has yet been issued
by the department, and is, in fact, an
Invaluable handbook for the Arkan-
sas farmer. 1t is a volume of 366
pages, covering the years 1913 and
1914. The delay in the publication
has been caused by the condition of
the states finances.
Discussing the results of the cam
paigns that have been carried on for
Investigation, Mr.. Page says: mo
doubt the farmers of Arkansas have
been impressed with the value of di-
versi6cation, and if given the sub
stantial aid in instances where 1t
might be necessary, the character OF
farm operation will most likely I'M

dergo material changes that Will
bring the farmers into a new era OF
prosperity and enlighten them as to
agricultural possibilities.
One of the features of the report
is a detailed description of each coun-
ty. Comprehensive articles on soils
and fertilizers, crop rotation, hortl-
culture, dairying and miscellaneous
information for the home and farm.
The biennial report referred to IN
the above dispatch was printed IN the
office of the Conway Printing Com
pany of this city, and is the largest
single job of printing ever executed
in Conway.

PUBLICSCHOOL NOTES

The constant question: rs school
going to stop"
Miss Mary Hamilton is again at
her post after an enforced rest of
four months. Her work was done,
and we'll done, by Mrs. Traylor. We
shall miss her.
The class in sewing are at work
with patterns. They are calling for
sewing machines.
The epidemic of grippe, which
swept us during the two weeks pre-
ceding the holidays, ruined our
years record for attendance. The re-
port for December will be the worst
we ever sent out. One fifth of the
pupils were missing most of the two
weeks.
Quite number of those who miss
ed are making up the lost work-a
commendable thing to do. We wish
all would feel that way about it.
We played swap-out game at the
opening giving up 16 pupils and TAX
ing 33 in their places. If all our
pupils should happen to be present
at one time, some would have to stand
up.
Mason E. Mitchell has arranged for
an illustrated lecture at the auditori-
UNI Friday evening. The lecture is a
part of a peace-pr promotion program
which Mr. Mitchell is interested in.

From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
Of course, the fact that this is
title Rocks last day as a. wet" city
had nothing to do with it, but it was
noticeable that the accommodation
train to the capital city this morning
was crowded far beyond its seating
capacity. There was hardly stand
ing room in aisles and platforms
when the train pulled out from Con-
way. Sixty tickets were sold from
this station to Little Rock and the
train was held here about Is minutes
in order that the crowd might pro-
cure tickets and get aboard.

Despite the fact that threefourths
of the year was a period of financial
depression in the south, postoffice re-

year ending yesterday showed gain
of S35995, or 2 3-4 per cent, over
those of 1914, according to figures
furnished the Log Cabin Democrat by
Assistant Postmaster B. c. Thorn
ason. The final quarter of the year
just ended showed a gain of over

about 5000 in the second quarter and
only slight gains in the other two pc
riods. The total receipts for the year
were S13,61s.62, as compared with
S13,25S.67 in 1914. By quarters the

 FOR PREPAREDNESS
Makes Vigorous Speech in House in Behalf of Defense PIan-
 Heartily Applauded.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Republican leader Mann made a vigorous speech for national preparedness in the house today, while all the republicans and most of the democrats app1auded heartily.
 Tt seems the part of wisdom for us to prepare ourselves for any possibil- ity of trouble that may cOme,' was the keynote of the republican leaders remarks.
 "It is we'll known that I never have believed in a large standing army" he said, "and l probably might have been properly classed as a little navy man. But wise men ought to be able to peer distinctly into the future and prepare today for what might come tomorrow
 MT. Mann declared the world was in the worst condition that any living person had ever seen it, and pre- dicted that it might be many years ''before it is definitely determined whether one of the other or neither side can become master"
 He also secuted the permanency of a "paper peace.'
