No Cross.Examination.

In the courtroom at Parsons ap aged woman, who was very deaf, was called to testify. After taking the oath, the attorney for the prosecution asked her to state her name to the Jury. She could not hear the question. He asked the question again in a louder tone Still she failed to hear A third trial also failed. The leather-lunged balliff tried and he failed. The stenographer also fell "way short" Finally the prosecuting attorney gave it up and waived her testimony. The jury, who had remained as silent as the witness through it all, turned to the counsel for the defense and asked: Do you wish to cross-examine the witness?- Kansas City Star.

MEN WANTED

A . result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of busi- ness, both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading mon of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1ness or techni- cal training and At themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lective draft, ane wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of then--and must have them. It is a splendid opportunity for Ino3e who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, and ether branches of clerical work.

Mir. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op- portunity and believe in the "Do il now" spirit. should. by all means, communicate with Mir. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo- Dls e prepare for business life.

OF THE: To
 STATES FINANCES

Little Rock, Dec. S.-An analysis of the states finance has been made by Van Simms, assistant state comptrol- Ter, which shows most interesting condition of affairs. It shows, primar. lily, that the state is on a sound cash basis, with provision made for taking care of the $75O,O0O in Brough notes, and that it may be kept so by safe and sane methods of conducting the state6 i business. If excessive expenditures can be kept down in the various de- partments, there is no reason why the balance in the treasury should not al- ways be on the credit side of the ledger, which will be most admir- able recommendation for the Rough administration.
 The records show that there is only total of S22 2,199,96 in warrants out standing, and the only reason they are not paid is that they have not been presented.
 There is net balance of appropria- tions available for expenditure $2,515,- S54.77.
 The governor has issued deficinecy proclamations for $21 ,641.20 of which $13,591.93 remains uneXpended. It is estimated that further proclamations amounting $50,O00 will be necessary for the publication of the new con- stitution and the acts and amend ments.
 The estimate of receipts from Oct. l, 1917, to June 30, 1919, is as fol lows:
 State taxes ..................... .$1 ,098, ,O24.64 Franchise taxes ............ 276,0O0000 Insurance taxes and fees 38O,00O00 Inheritance tax ............... 14O,O00.00 Secretary of state fees. 70.000.00 Miscellaneous receipts .. 1S9,000.00 lOCdl DO O4c, 1OC. ~

Ely People in
a. Colds Strike
ASSAYS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM
GROUND ABOUT rs MILES OF
TONOPAH WHICH ASSAY AS
HIGH AS 500. 900.

C. L. Osterland, Mike Sullivan
and A. T. Tully of this city are in
terested in what is declared to be the
biggest gold strike ever made in Ne
yada in recent years. Assays have
been taken from the properties which
will assay better than 500, 900 to
the on. The report of the sensa-
tional find is creating considerable
excitement in the southern part of
the state, and predictions are freely
offered that the sporadic booms of
ten years ago may be repeated in
that section.
The scene of the rich discoveries
were located last fall by Sullivan
and Tully, the presence of gold pres
of phenomenal richness near the sur
face attracting their attention. The
properties have since been developed
on a limited scale the last eight
months. The locators wer handi-
capped in opening up the mineral
zone through lack of funds and sue
ceeded in interesting Osterland in
the proposition
The property has hardly been
touched up to date. There is ample
water and plenty of timber, and con
ditions are said to be ideal for a
permanent camp 1t is situated about
rs miles west of Tonopah. The
ground is now being worked by Ton
opah capitalists under bond and
lease.
J. II. Goodman, a McGill merch-
ant, Steve Pappas. the discoverer of
Willow Creek, and F. j. Sylvester
n former resident of Ely, control
what is known as the Goodman
group. Here there is a shaft down
$50 feet. Samples of rich gold-silver
ores have been exhibited here and

The stockholders have purchased a
10-stamp mill, and 1t is expected
that 1t will be shipped from Tonopah
within the next ten days.
The formation of the district is
porphyry and lime. There are many
quartz fissures and the richest speci-
mems exhibited here show the ore
~clinging to or making through the
quartz. The main gold vein has been
traced by open cuts for a distance
OF several hundred feet. A consign-
ment from the Liberty Loan property
less than half a ton-was sent 10
Salt Lake. and gave returns better
than 81. 90 a pound.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
ONLY CAN ISSUE CERTIFICATES

Frankfort, Ky, May THE State
Board of Education is the only board
in the State having power under the
law to issue certificates to college
graduates on evidence of graduation
This ruling was laid down by Nc
Henry Rhodes, high school inspector,
and concurred in by Attorney General
Logan, who holds further that Boards
of Education of classified cities are
without authority to accept college
diplomas in lieu of valid certificates,
unless such power is specifically dele
gated to City Boards of Education.
The question was raised by Inspec-
tor Rhoades in reporting on an in
vestigatiOn of the high school at Pa
ducah. Inspector Rhodes found that
the Board of Education of that city
on the recommendation /of the SUI
perintendent, has been in the habit of
accepting. college diplomas in lieu of
valid certificates. Under the ruling
of Attorney General Logan the prac-
tice will have to be discontinued.
