planned to visit every home in the
county, and induce every farmer to
raise all the foodstuffs he will need
for his own and some to put on the
market.

will be opened at 1880, Mr. Barnett,
John l.. Phillips and j. M. Wilson,

HEALTH BOARD Will
ENFORCE QUARANTINE
Two Additional Cases of Smallpox
Cause City Health Board to
Threaten Drastic Action.

The discovery today of two addi-
tional cases of smallpox in Conway,
making a total of nine who have had
the disease here within the past
month, led the city board of health at
a meeting this morning to issue a
warning of drastic action against any
person or persons violating quarantine
regulations. One of the cases devel-
|oped in the home of w. M. Tedder,
in the Harkrider addition, and the
other is that of man named Rusk,
in the Anderson addition, who arrived
here from Little Rock two or three
days ago and afterwards became sick
with smallpox No serious alarm is
felt that the disease will take the form
of an epidemic, but the health author
tiles do not propose to permit a furth-
er spread of the disease through care
lessness. The resolution adopted by
the board of health today follows:
| Whereas, it has become absolutely
necessary that strict precautions be
taken in this city to control the spread
of smallpox, which is so prevalent
over the state, and as new cases are
developing here, now, therefore,
"Be it resolved, by the city board of
health, that every one who has not
been successfully vaccinated is hereby
urged to be vaccinated at the earliest
possible moment and in this way aid
the board of health and city authori-
ties in stopping this disease Section
6 of the ordinances of the city of Con-
way, Arkansas, governing the pres
ence and spread of smallpox provides
that the board of health of the city
shall have power to establish a city
pest house and to isolate therein all
persons who are afflicted with or have
been exposed to contagious diseases.
This section further provides that the
marshal of the city shall enforce any
order of the board of health and that
any person who fails to obey them
shall be- punished in a sum not less
than SIS and not more than 5000, and
may also be imprisoned for not less
than 80 days.
"And be it further resolved, that all
persons sick of this disease or those
exposed to it are hereby warned that
they must observe the quarantine as
imposed by law, and that unless this
is done they may expect to suffer the
penalty.

$4,000 A YEAR.

We have a sort of feeling that John
Jacob Aston isn't setting his American
peers good example. In an era
when nearly all OF US are graphing
grimly with the economic wolf, alias
Cost OF Living, young Aston blandly
confesses- or his mother does 1t for
him that his living expenses in three
years and half have amounted to
$SS,QS4
Really isn't 1t going pretty strong
when three-year-old baby can't get
along on less than $4,000 a year?
TO be sure, little John Jacob has Oh.
legations that he can't very well
dodge. He has to live on Fifth ave-
nue. and his share Of the taxes on that
property is over $1,000 a year. One
must keep an expensive household,
too, in little John Jacobs circle. 1t
costs him about SIT ,OOo a year for his
part Of the house expenses--and he
doesn't entertain much, either. He
pays his doctor $2,t1G year and his
lawyer slGG3 a year. You might not
think that baby needs a lawyer, but
that just shows how little you know
about aristocratic babies. He has a
troublesome income tax to pay. And
he has to have clothes and toys
Those Indispensable articles have cost
him about 5000 in his short life.
Maybe John Jacob can't help it.
The pressure Of environment is hard
for an outsider to appreciate. And
yet, we can't help suspecting that the
young man Is going it bit strong.
And such habits grow.
IL 1t costs him s25,G02 q year when
he's three, how can he get along on
less than a million year when he
grows up? And by that time maybe
Uncle Sam won't allow anybody to-
have q million O year. Income and in.
neritance taxes point that way.
