WHEN CAN WOMEN OF
 STATE BEGIN VOTING?
Difference of Opinion as to Whether They Can Cast Ballots in
 Primaries of 1918.

As usual with a new statute in Ar kansas, the Riggs bill granting wom- en the right to vote in primary elec- tions has provoked controversy. The question is how soon may the women avail themselves of the privilege of voting.
 Discussion was pracipitated here yesterday when three suffragists ap- peared at the county tax collectors office and offered to pay the poll tax. Tax Collector R. H. Williams has not been supplied with the required poll tax receipts. and his opinion is that as the law does not become effective for 90 days, the women will be un- able to pay poll tax within the speci- fled period this year. The tax col lector holds also that the law does not give the collectors authority to asses the poll tax against women, as in the case of men, and that as the women were not assessed at the regu- lar assessing time. this would prevent payment of the tax this year before July 1, before which time poll taxes must be paid.
 Deputy Prosecuting Attorney E. w. Brockman's view is that women can vote in the first primary election after the law becomes effective. His opin- ion is that the women are in the same category as man who becomes of legal age between the expiration of the period for the payment of poll taxes and the date of the primary, and who are allowed to vote without poll tax receipt.
 But whether the women can vote next year, as MT. Brockman believes, or not until 1919, as Tax Collector Williams and others think, it is al- ready apparent that there is to be considerable discussion over the pro- position, and that many women will desire to vote at the first primary which will be the city primary in 1918.

BIDS INVITED ON
 SI75,000 BONDS
 FOR NEW SCHOOL

Following the action of the legs- lature in passing the bill which al- lows the Pine Bluff special school district to issue bonds, whereby it may obtain funds with which to pay the cost of the erection of the new high school building, the school board has begun advertisement for bids for a bond issue of $165,000, at not less than par, and also has ad- vertised for bids for the contract for erecting the school building.
 The bids for the bond issue will be received verbally at 10 o'clock a. m. on Saturday, March 31, and will be in the nature of public sale. The bids for erection of the school house will be received until 10 o'clock a. m., Saturday, April 2, and these also will be opened soon after that hour.
 The plans for the new building have been completed for several montas, 5, and in his address recently Def )rG the Lakeside School Improvement as- sociation, w. F. Coleman, member Of the school board, gave most inter- esting description of thc building, his talk having been printed in The Graphic of February II.
 The site for the school building has already been purchased, in Laurel street, opposite the present high school building. Actual construction of the new building is not expected to begin for about 60 days, and it is not expected the building will be com- pleted and ready for occupancy until about the first of next year, although every effort will be made to have the structure ready for the school chil. dren at the earliest possible moment, as its occupancy will give relief not only to the present high school, but to the various grammar grade schools, all of which are now overcrowded with pupils.

MRS. CARTER MAKES
 PHENOMENAL GAIN
Wel-Known Birmingham Woman Says She Has Actually Gained Fifty Pounds.

Tt may sound strange, but I have
 actually gained fifty pounds since I

 nue, North, Birmingham when seen | at her home by the Tanlac repre-
 sentative. Mrs. Carter is the wife of

 TOT the last eight years, and they have
 great many friends in and around | Birmingham.
 | had stomach trouble and rheu-
 matlsm for two years, and was all
 nervous and rundown. My appetite 1 fell off to nearly nothing, and what
 little l did eat didn't seem to agree ! with me. Sometimes would just feel 1 like l never would want another bite l to eat.
 ] suffered with rheumatism nearly all the time, too, and this trouble,
 had, pulled mo down until I only
 weighed one hundred and thirty pounds. l was so nervous and upset
 l couldn't sleep hardly any, and I would get so blue and discouraged over my condition I just felt some- times like I never would get we'll That's just the condition I was in when l began taking Tanlac, but Just look at me now-honestly, I have gotten so fat and have changed so, people hardly know me. Everybody
 is surprised at the way Tanlac has helped me, and all of my friends and | nelghbors say I look like have never had a sick day in my lite But that's not all, sTanlac has relieved me Of all of my troubles, and l can eat and sleep noWssas good as anybody. just feel fine all the time ex- cept for little touch of rheumatism occasionally, and my work don't
 bother me at all: or make me tired the least bit. There is no use talk 1 ing, Tanlac is 9 fine medicine, and I don't guess there is another medicine 1 on earth that would have made me gam fifty pounds like Tanlac has 1 done."
 The public is warned against buy ing Tanlac from any .ther than regu-
 lar established agencies. Genuine
