Cab, Slr2 Cab, Sir?

Public carriages for hire. or hack
ney coaches, were introduced into Lon
don in 1925 and rapidly grew in popu'
larity. Notwithstanding the opposition
of the king and court, who thought
they would ruin the roads, they grew
to number over 800 by 1850.
In Paris they were introduced dur
ing the minority Of Louis XIV by
Nicholas Savage, who lived in the
Rue St. Martin at the sign of ST. FL
acre, from which circumstance hack
ney carriages in Paris have since been
called "6acres."
By 1894 there were over 700 of these
conveyances in London.

TIME FOR SHEARING SHEEP
Mistaken Notion to Wait Until Late
in Season for Heavier and
Better Fleece.

Some people have the idea that If
sheep are not shorn until late in the
season the fleece will be heavier and
better This, an experienced shep-
herd of Wisconsin says, is mistaken
notion, and Is often the cause of con-
siderable loss. The sheep lose in
weight during the first warm days of
spring, and, as the fresh grass acts
as laxative, the fleece becomes dirty
and unpleasant 20 handle. 1t is a
much better plan to shear the sheep
before turning to grass, as this will
insure cleaner wool and will therefore
make better gains. Don't neglect to
trim the animals hUofs, If they need
it, as cases of footrot can thus be
prevented.

EDINBURGH WORTH A VISIT
Time Of Traveller Can Be Well Spent
In an Inspection of the Scot
tist, Capital.

There is generally an east wind
blowing in Edinburgh, whipping the
fog about, or else 1t is raining. Other.
wise the climate Is very attractive.
When clear day does come, you ap.
preciate it. 1t is very calm and clear
and bracing. You climb hill-Edin.
burgh carries an assorted stock OF hills
and you look down on a city that Is
picturesque in the fullest and broadcast
application of that overworked poly.
syllable. Edinburgh is easily the most
picturesque capital in Europe.
The castle keeps you from looking
at anything else for the first fifteen or
twenty minutes. 1t stands in the mid
die of things, Gaping hill that shoots
up almost straight from the level. You
cannot see where the hill leaves off
and the castle begins; 1t seems to have
grown from the living rock beneath it.
They tell you that the castle has never
been taken by assault, though 1t has
been perched there for a thousand
years or so. You are not surprised at
the statement, but you indulge In a
little mild speculation as to the par.
ticular form of foolishness that led
anybody to assault it.
After a while you look away from
the castle and size up the city at large.
Miles of gray mansions spiked with
towers and spires stretch before you.
backed and cut off in all directions
by hills Just rough and rocky enough
to be decorative. Hundreds of little
blue pennons of smoke arise from the
chimnCys. They do not consume
their own smoke in Edinburgh; the
Scots have nicknamed the capital
Aud Reckie."
Edinburgh is running over with his
torical association and the tradition
OF greatness. Here the national life
of Scotland has conferred ever since
she had enc. All her warriors, all her
patriots, all her men OF sciences and
her poets have left their mark on the
capital AS result, Edinburgh has
personality as clear cut and individual
as that of some great actress. She is
as Scotch as Robert Burns. If you
like the reticence, the mixture Of SEN
timent and resolution that make the
Scottish temperament, you will find
Edinburgh never-ending delight

SOIL FOR THE BUSH FRUITS
Rich Clay Loan Recommended for
Gooseberries and Currants-Sand
Should Be Avoided.

Goosebcrrics and currants are very
much alike and whatever is said of the
one Is also applicable to the other. A
rich clay loan is best for them, and
the exposure of the plantation should
be toward the north, if possible, as the
ground on such an exposure does not
dry out as quickly as any other eX-
posture. Sand should also be avoided.
In setting out IL plantation, the cut
tingS should be not less than eight
inches long, and placed vertically in
the soil, which should be made very
rich with rotten stable manure.

COMMENT LACKING
 FROM GOVERNOR
Members of Board of Control Will Not Talk-May Take Re mOval Dr. BledsOe to Supreme COurt-IntentiOns Secret.

Little Rock, July 7.-Neither Gov. Hays nor any member of the Board of Control will make any comment upcn the decision of Circuit Judge Fulk in deciding that the Board had no au- thority to remove Dr. Bledsoe as superintendent of the Insane Asylum. All that any member of the board would say is that they have not stopped fighting yet, and it is inti- mated that the decision of the lower court will be tried in the Supreme Court on the ground that. Judge Full< had no jurisdiction. The Supreme Court, however, will adjourn next Monday for the summer recess. Just what step the Board will take to pre- vent the decision of the lower court establishing the status quo until the Supreme Court. can pass upon it, has not been made public. Several courses are open,' said friend of the administration.

RALLIES FOLLOW
 EARLY DECLINES
Weather Reports Measuring, Close is 1 Points Up to One Down-SOme Selling Liver pool and New Orleans.

New York, July 6.-Reassuring weather reports caused liquidation by some of yesterdays buyers in the cot ton market this morning, but early declines were followed by rallies, and qfter selling off from 13.06c to 12.94c, October contracts closed at 13.04c. The general list closed steady. net 1 points higher to point lower, July being higher, while new crop positions were unchanged to l point under the final figures of yesterday.
 There were few buying orders around the ring at the opening, which had evidently been attracted by the sharp advance of yesterday, and the overnight storm news. Liverpool made steady showing and first pric- es here were 1 points lower on Aug ust. but generally 1 to 4 points high CT. with December selling at 13.26c, and January at 1892 on the call.
 The Eastern belt forecast suggest ing more StItOuS lfliH SHOWoIS m Southern and central sections and a special weather report indicating that the gulf storm was diminishing, checked the buying, however, and prices cased off rather sharply during the middle of the morning. There was some Liverpool selling here and New Orleans was a seller around the local ring. but the bulk of the offer ings were attributed to liquidation by buyers on the storm news of the previous day, and after selling about 70 to Il points under last nights clos ing figures. and 20 to 9 points under yesterdays high level the market
 e.died on covering.
 The weekly report of the Weather Bureau, indicating that the crop had made favorable progress in most sec tions, served to check the rally, but the mention of increasing boil weevil damage also served to restrict selling and later fluctuations were narrow and irregular. December closed about Q points up from the low levels of the morning.
 Cotton closed steady.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS
 S10O.O00,000 GREATER

Washington, D. C., July 6.--In a report submitted to the treasurer of the United States by Acting Com missioner of Internal Revenue David A. Gates of Little Rock, the receipts of the internal revenue bureau for the fiscal year which ended June 30 last were approximately $100,000.o00 greater than those for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915.
 The internal revenue collections dur ing the fiscal year just closed amount ed in all to $512, ,740,7 ,769.5S as follows: Ordinary collections, $387, ,S73, ,33930; corporation, $6,909 994L78; individual $67,957.488.50
 The collections of the bureau dur ing the last fiscal year were the larg- est in the history of the bureau by nearly one hundred millions of dollars and this remarkable showing is large ly attributed to the efficiency and pop ularity of Deputy Commissioner Gates who is a glutton for work and who has during the greater part of the year been acting as commissioner of internal revenue during the absence of Commissioner Osborne.
 Mir. Gates is considered by treasury officials as one of the most efficient and capable employees in the treasury department and in addition to the e- markable increase in collections. Mir. Gates has been largely responsible for the prosecution of revenue frauds whereby the government has hereto fore been cheated out of millions of dollars in revenues.

SIXTEEN MILLIONS IN
 AUTO FEES FOR ROADS
Nearly Two Million and a Half Vehicles-42 States. EXpend Major Portion Motor Vehicle Revenues on Highways.

Washington, D. C., July Ninety per cent of the registration and li- cense fees paid in 1915 by automo- bilists to the States, or $16,213,387, was spent for the building and main tenance of county and State roads, according to compilation just pub lished by the office of public roads, U. $. Department of Agriculture. In all, 2,445, ,664 motor vehicles were .eg- istered in that year and their owners paid a total of $l8,245,713 for regis trations and drivers and dealers li- censes. This is an increase of S5,- S63, ,760 over 1914, and an increase of 734, 1925 in the number of vehicles registered. Automobile fees now de- fray nearly T per cent of the total amount spent on rural road and bridge building, whereas in 1906 the income from this source was less than three tenths of per cent of the total eX- Ipenditure.
 The growth of the volume of fees and registrations is noted by the fact that in 1901 New York, the first State to require fees, collected only S954 In 1906 only 4S.000 cars were regis tered throughout the entire United States. By 1915. however the num- Der had jumped to the figure given. so that there is slightly more than enc motor car registered for each of the ! 2,375,000 miles of road outside of the Incorporated towns and cities.
 The relation between cars and road mileage varies widely in different sec tions. There is only one motor car for every 6 miles of rural road in Nevada, but nearly six motor cars for every mile of such road in New Jersey. There is an average of one motor ear. registration for every II persons in the United States. Iowa 1 apparently leads, however, with one motor car for every 16 persons, while only one for every POO persons is reg istered for Alabama.
 1 It must be understood. however, that the figures of registration do not ! necessarily represent a total number of ears. as some of the States do not irequire annual registration, others group pleasure and commercial cars land motor cycles in their accounts, while still other States do not re- Iqu'ro registration of motor cycles.
 There is great inequality in the registration fees charged by the diff ferent States. The average for the
 United States was STAG. The State of Vermont however, secured u 1915 a gross revenue of 8l810 for each motor car, while Minnesota received only about 90 cents annually for each car In Texas and South Carolina no annual registration fees are collected, the only requirement being a county fee of 50 cents and B1 respectively | Continued on Page Four)
