TRY SIMPLE MIXTURE.
Many New Ulm people are surprised
at the QUICK action of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in
Adler-l-ka. This simple remedy acts
on BOTH upper and lower bowel, re-
moving such surprising foul matter that
ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
gas. A few doses often relieve or pre-
vent appendicitis. A short treatment
helps chronic stomach trouble. The IN
SLANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is
astonishing. E. A. Pfeferle, druggist.

|, N. RAILROAD IS
SUED FOR $4,000
FOR DEATH OF BARBtE
Estate of Little Rock Man Killed by
Train Near Pine Bluff July %
Brings Suit Here.

Probably the largest amount for
which a railroad was ever sued in
the Faulkner circuit court is sought
in a complaint filed yesterday by
Mrs. Annie M. Barbee and the Bank
ers Trust Company, executors of the
estate of D. E. Barbee, deceased,
against B. F. Bush, receiver of the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway Company, the plaintiffs ask
ing judgment for damages totaling
$4,000. d. f. Barbee was killed at
the railway crossing two miles north
west of Pine Bluff when an automo-
bile driven by him was struck by an
Iron Mountain train on July %, 1916.
The complaint alleges that the de-
fendant company was negligent in
that it ran its train approaching the
crossing at a high rate of speed and
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-12-09

failed to ring a bell or blow a whis-
tie so rods from the crossing, as re-
CURED by law and to keep a look
out for persons crossing the track.
The complaint also charges that the
railway crossing was in bad repair
making it difficult to cross and re-
tarding the wheels of an automobile
attempting to cross it.
For the mental and physical suffer
ing of the deceased, who the complaint
states lived several hours after the
accident, damages in the sum Of $10,-
600 are asked. The complaint states
that the deceased was a man SO years
Of age, in perfect health, and had a
life expectancy of 16 years. He was
earning $4,000 year, the plaintiff al
leges, and left a widow and three
minor children, aged Il, 13 and Z.
For the loss sustained by them dam
ages in the sum of $40,0 900 are asked.
The complaint was filed by Sam Frau
enthal and Grover T. Owens of Little
Rock and Robins & Clark of Conway
as attorneys for the plaintiff.

EXHIBIT WORK
OF 7l2 PUPILS

More than 700 exhibitions, the work
of the Conway public school pupils,
are on display in the Brown building,
3O7 North Front street. Every one of
the TIP pupils has an exhibit, either
handwork done under the supervision
of the domestic science department. or
literary work. 1t is the largest dis
play of the kind ever seen in Conway
Throughout yesterday and today
crowds have thronged the building.
Many expressions of surprise at the
quality of the work done by the stu
dents have been heard. A visit
through the building would convince
anybody that the Conway school is
accomplishing wonders.
The pupils marched en- masse to the
show yesterday afternoon. The line
was several blocks long. They march
ed up Front street, and presented
quite spectacle.

| both reported favorably from then
inquiries among patrons as to the
call for the serving of hot chocolate
and hot soups as a supplement to
| the cold lunches that the children
bring from home, this service to be
| rendered by the domestic science de-
partment and nominal charge
made. About so requests had been
received for the establishment of this
service. The installation of the
| cafeteria was accordingly approved
! by the Parent-Teachers Association
and Mrs. B. l.. Harton and Mrs II.
S. Traylor were appointed to CO.
operate with Miss Ruby Becker in
securing the necessary equipment,
The remainder of the evening
was occupied by Mr.. Womack with a
statesmanlike discussion of different
systems of grading pupils, data be-
ing given from other schools. The
advantage of the system now being
used was shown to lie in the fact
{ that it records the standing of a pu-
pill in his class and is not an attempt
to show his absolute worth.
1t was explained that one fourth of
the pupils in any class receive "a"
or "B," one half &C." and one fourth
l"O" or e. Not more than five per
cent of class may receive "F" or
"a" but should any pupil do as we'll
as the "A" division, though not
standing head, he will receive a
grade Of B plus which is considered
equal to an "a"
A comparison was drawn between
this system and the competition that
pupils will meet in actual life. The
/ thought was general that this dis
cussion should continue at the next
meeting when it is hoped that the
weather will permit full attend
ance of all patrons.

WOULD USE AUTO
TAXES ON ROADS
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
Suggests that Government Funds
Can be Secured Without an
Additional Tax.

Little Rock, Dec. 9.-Commissione
W. b. Owen of the State Highway De-
partment yesterday said that the ST.
100000 which is required of Arkan-
sas IN order to secure a similar sum
from the government for road build
ing authorized by the federal aid road
law, may be raised without taking
any money from the states general
revenue fund, or without increase in
present tax rates. Under the federal
act $S2, 900 is available for Arkansas
road work and will be available until
June 80, 1917. The amount Arkan-
sas should receive for its 1917 appor-
tionment is $166,000; for 1918, S249,-
600, and by continuing the addition
of a sum slightly increasing the
amount for the first year, or $50, 900,
each year for the period of five years,
the aggregate sum of $1,500,000,
which also includes forest reserve
funds, will have been received at the
end of five years from the federal
government for use upon the states
roads.
To receive this federal aid, the fed
eral appropriation will have to be met
by equal state appropriations, and the
amount of new money that will have
been placed or authorized for road
work by the end OF five years will
amount to $3,000.000. The $82. 900
now available for Arkansas, however,
cannot be used unless the next legis-
lature appropriates similar sum, and
authorizes appropriations to meet the
government allotments for the next
two years.
Under the provisions of the federal
law, the states first appropriation
must be made at the next meeting of
the Legislature after the passage of
the federal act, and the state must
promise to continue the appropria-
tions to equal the federal appropria-
tions for a period of five years. Mr.
Owen said, however. that if the state
can show a visible source from which
the money can be derived for three
years, the government requirements
will have been met. Unless the next
legislature makes the appropriation
Arkansas proportionate share will
revert to the government fund and
will be reapportioned among the
states complying with the law.
Mr., Ovens plan is to meet the
appropriations required of Arkansas
with the fund from automobile Ii
censes. He said that this fund
amounted to about 100000 this year,
more than enough to take care of the
present federal apportionment. The
revenue from this source is increas
ing rapidly, Mr.. Owen said, and in
1917 it should be $250,000, with a cor
responding increase for 1918.
Mr.. Owen will ask the legislature to
appropriate the necessary $4,000 for
this year out of the automobile fund,
and to includein the appropriation act
provisions by which the entire auto
mobile license fund for the next five
years may be diverted to the funds
OF lne highway SoHiAilSSioii. III 'iil9
way, Mr.. Owen said, the federal ap
preparations may be met without
touching the other state revenues, and
the department may also be maintain
ed without additional expense. At
present half of the automobile fund
goes to the department and half to
the general funds of the counties in
which they are collected.
