WAS VOTED UPON FOLLOWING READING OF SPECIAL MES
 SAGE FROM GOVERNOR.
URGES BILL BE FAVORED
Under the Provisions of the Measure the $75o,Ooo Will Be Used in Pay ing Indebtedness of the State
 on July i, 1917.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Governor Brough's chief legislative measure, that authorizing issuance of s750,000 in interest-bearing notes, was passed by the House with only seven dissenting votes.
 The bill was voted upon following the reading of special message from Governor Brough urging that imme- diate and favorable action be taken. The bill already had been passed by the Senate and will be presented to the governor for his signature imme- diately.
 Under provisions of the bill, the s750,000 will be used in paying in- debtedness of the state on July l, 1917. None of it can be used for meeting appropriations made by the 1917 legislature. The notes issued will be retired serially, the first in Ave years and the last within 20 years. A one-eighth mill tax for the first four years, beginning in 1917, will be levied to meet the interest and that part of the principal falling due. After the fourth year and until the notes all are retired, a one-fourth mill tax will be levied, the present State capitol tax of one-eighth of one mill will be dis continued. Interest on the notes can- not exceed five per cent.
 The bill carried with it a $50,000 ap- propriation to meet debts incurred in negotiating the notes, which will be in $500 and $1,00O denominations, and to pay interest falling due before the first revenues from the special tax levied can be collected.
 The House considered the measure sitting as committee of the whole, and following it's report that it be passed, called the bill for final pass age. Representative Harrison, chair man of the joint Senate and House budget committee, spoke in favor of the, bill, while Representative Hollo- way opposed it on grounds that eco nomical appropriations and not note is- sues should be relied upon to cancel the States debts.

Bond Bill Referred Aaain.

The vote was being taken on the passage of S. B. No 12 (Ponder), to refund the bonds held in the state treasury to the credit of the common school fund, when MT.

It provides for an increase from to 5 per cent in the rate of interest paid on the bonds, amounting to s1,134,500.

LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH
Avers That His Equine Friends Arc as Proud of New Shoes as
 Little Boys.

We happened to hold converse with
 horseshoer the other day. He is veteran who can remember the day
 when he not only had to forge his own shoes, but even the nails that tackled them on. He says that horses are like little boys. Some of them are intensely proud of a new pair of shoes. turn in at the shop door every time she passes. She is so fond of the feel of new shoes that she fairly prances when she leaves the shop. Then he told about the old doctors old mare that would come by herself to the shop whenever she was loose. T always had to pick up her shoes and look at them,v said the smith. If I happened to be busy, she would hang around for an hour and wait for me to examine her feet. If any work was needed did it, and charged it up to the doctor. If her shoes were all right, would give them few taps with the hammer, and then the old girl was satisfied" The smith thinks that mares are prouder than geldings of q new pair of shoes He attributes this to natural feminine good sense, rather than vanity. We don't vouch for the truth of his anecdotes, but we will say that 1t is hard to find a more interesting man than this blacksmith or any blacksmith. He is always g good story-teller, and we imagine that the rhythmic ring of hammer on iron develops his imagination.-Farm Life.
