SUPERVISORS OF SCHOOLS
 RETURN FROM TRIP

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-W. E. Lase- ter, supervisor forr ural white schools, and J. A. Presson, supervisor for ne- gro schools, have returned from a visit to Mississippi and Louisiana, where they went to investigate con- dtions and methods in those states They made especial inquiries relative to agricultural high schools, and the consolidation of districts, which have made great progress in both states. The county unit system prevails, and is found to produce admirable re- suits. In five years it is hoped that the system will be applied to every county in the state of Mississippi There is no limit to the tax levy, the Legislature having had confidence in the people that they would not vote more taxes than they were able to stand.

WOULD ASSESS LIFE
 INSURANCE POLICIES
Bill of Senator Brown Attracting AttentiOn-"An Act to Reduce Rate of TaxatiOn"-Assess at True Money Value.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-A bill that is attracting as much attention as any yet introduced is Senate Bill No. 37, by Senator Brown, being "an act to reduce the rate of taxation, provide for fair assessment of the property of the state, and enforce the assessment of life insurance policies, notes, mort gages, and other evidences of debt" It provides that hereafter the rate of taxation shall be one and one-eighth mills for state purposes, three mills for state schools, one mill for Confed- crate pensions, one dollar per capita for each male citizen, land such other rates as are fixed or may be fixed by law" All the property of the state not exempt by the constitution shall be assessed at it's true value in money. Each life insurance policy having cash surrender value shall be as- sessed at that value. If any mort gage, deed of trust, or other security for debt taxable under the law shall not have been assessed within the time prescribed for assessing personal property, it shall lose it's priority over any subsequently, executed mortgage or lien. It is also provided that pro- missory notes and other evidences of debt shall be listed for assessment, otherwise they shall bear no interest for the year in which they were not assessed. Petitions are pouring into the House and Senate from all over the State against the bill, especially that portion of it which provides dras- tic regulations for the assessment of mortgages and promissory notes.

PETITION ASSOCIATION TO
 REVERSE NAMES HIGHWAYS

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-At the mid winter meeting of the Arkansas Press Association yesterday, the following resolution offered by Clio Harper was unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, the National Highway As sociation has named highway which leads across the southern extremity of the Gulf states, and which it is planned to make a transcontinental highway, the Jefferson Davis Memor- ial Highway.
 And whereas, the National High way Association has named another highway, leading through the heart of the states of the Confectionery, and which will pass through Arkansas, the Southern Highway.
 Be it therefore resolved, that the Arkansas Press Association in mid winter meeting assembled, petition the aforesaid National Highway Asso- citation to reverse the names of the two highways, in order that each may be more appropriately named, inas- much as the more southern highway would never be the principal thorough fare of travel in transcontinental trip through the South, nor would it be so well improved or marked, as it does not pass through so many his toric points as the more northern route.
 And be it further resolved that the Arkansas Press Association pledge itself to use it's influence to see that the portion of the highway leading through Arkansas is not only logged, but each mile be marked by fruit trees of different species, which yield so abundantly in Arkansas, also the na- tive trees which are used so exten- sively in manufacturing enterprises, making it characteristic road of a great state.

A Babylonian Epic.

In the midst of it all, man in Phila-
delphia, professor, is calmly trans
lating a Babylonian epic. He has be-
fore him certain tablets which were
buried in Mesopotamian ground thou
sands of years ago, upon which. in the
time of Abraham, certain queer cone
shaped characters were inscribed. Not
many years ago the key to these char
acters was discovered in the form OF
an Inscription in two languages, one
of which was known, and the meaning
of the queer characters slowly
emerged. The Philadelphia professor
has discovered that the tablets bear
an epic poem. He is translating the
epic and finds it to be the story of the
way In which a half-bafbarous chief
tain, named Enkidu, was redeemed
from a career of tyranny md violence
by the love of woman. And day after
dcy, while the papers are full of woes
and wickedness, and the drums OF war
beat on the streets, Indifferent to all
the uproar this patient man goes on
translating into good English the poem
of Enkidu and his love.

An Unlooked.for Present.

Among little Willie's numerous birth
day presents were toy tomahawk, an
airgun, and q lasso-these being sent
by a sport-loving uncle who knew
the youths proclivities.
Shortly after breakfast Willie's
mother heard a crash in the green
house at the foot of the garden, and
went to investigate. On the way she
passed few uprooted' bushes and a
flower-bed trampled out Of recognition,
and in the greenhouse itself many las
seed fower-pots. Following the TRAIL
she found Willie hiding behind tree
stump.
"What are you doing, Willie? she
cried in Mortified tones.
Looking for Redskins" replied the
youngster.
With grim look she took Willie
by the ear and led him indoors.
Looking for red skins" she repeat
ed ominously, as she took up cane
swell, I'll give you One."

lnded They DO!

Little Willie, although not much of
q singer, has the spirit all right. He
was rendering an especially cratic
version of Columbia, Gem of the
Ocean," the other evening, and an en-
tirely new, though suitable, interpre-
tation of the words of the song. He
began:
30 Columbia, gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free
The listeners withstood several pain
full lines of this and there wasn't q
break
"a world offers homage to thee" he
screamed.
Then came the triumph of the song
''Thy banners make Germany trem-
ble."
And the little group of listeners
broke out into cheers.-Indianapo
