The School Tax Amendment.

The adoption of amendment No. 12 will not increase taxes one cent. It allows the people of school district to levy any rate of tax they may need, up to twelve mills.
 It does not in any other respect change our school laws, but the people remain in full control of the schools.
 Under the law as contemplated by the amendment the people can levy any rate they need, but can never exceed twelve mills.
 All school revenue is levied for one year only, and can be used in no other district than where it is assessed.
 Our school tax is the smallest tax we pay for any one purpose, and the average citizen would not pay the tuition of child for two months.
 Arkansas ranks forty-third in schools, and the earning capacity of a people is always in proportion to their education.
 The following brief table shows what some of the states are doing for their schools, the figures being the maximum limit of school taxes:

 1 About sixty directors were pres ent, and represented more than for lty of the common school districts Of the county. A much larger at tendance would have responded to the cali had it not been the busi- est hour of the busiest day of the busiest season of the year.
 Attorney Jeff Bratton of the Paragould school board, called the assembly together, and stated the object of the meeting to be to con Isider several things of importance to the schools of the county, and therefore, of very great concern to all the people of the county. He concluded by introducing Hon. T. A. Trusty of Fort smith, a mem- ber of the board of education of Shat city, and also president of the school directors association of the state.
 Mr. Trusty is a live school man land spoke for about an hour on the school conditions of Arkansas, and urged the importance of mak-
 ing larger and more efficient pro ,.l 4 tnY, nf youth. By comparison with school conditions in other states, he show cd that Arkansas is making the least effort to school her children of any other state in the union, and declared that it was nothing less than crime against our chil- without giving them equal prepara- tion with the youth of other states.
 The speaker gave the history of proposed amendment No. 12, show ing that the school directors asso- citation of the state originated the measure to meet a condition that was imperative to the further op- eration of our public school sys- tenn The teachers of Arkansas had nothing to do with the conception of the measure, and were innocent of the charge of seeking to benefit by reason of the proposed amend ment.

IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK STOMACH,
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" is the quickest and surest Stom-
 ach relief.

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusnig to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undi- gested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nau- sea, bad taste in mouth and stom- ach headache, you can surely get relief in five minutes.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these fifty-eent cases of Papes Dia- pepsin. then you will understand why dyspeptic troublse of all kinds must go, and why it relieves, sour. out-of-order stomaches or indiges- ton in five minutes. Tapes Dia- pepsin' is harmless; tastes like can dy, though each dose will digest and prepare for assimilation into the blood all the food you eat; be- sides, it makes you go to the table with healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and i'm testines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxa- tives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many "Pape's Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be en- thusiastic about this splendid stom- ach preparation, too, if you ever take it for indigestion, gases, heart burn, sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.
 eGt some now, this minute, and rid yoursel fof stomach misery and indigestion in five minutes. *tf.
