LITTLE ROCK WILL VOTE
 ON OCCUPATION TAX

Little Rock, Oct. 21. - The city council will tonight adopt an ordinance proposing an oc- cupation tax whereby it is hoped to recoup some of the lost reven- ue of the city. The terms of the ordinance have been carefully worked out so that it will not be burdensome upon any indiv- dual or class, but will yield a sufficient revenue to meet the increasing demands upon the city for more salary for firemen, policement, electricians, and other employees. It has been difficult to retain the men when much better wages are being paid on Government work. The ordinance must be submitted to the people for adoption or re- jection, and it is thought the election will be called for Nov. 12.

PAGE CALLS ON
 PRODUCERS TO
 REPORT ON COST
Commissioner Page Says That Fixing Movement Will be Re- newed and that Producers Should Be Organized.

Little Rock, Oct 21-Commissioner John II. Page declares that the move ment for fixing the>price of cotton lis not dead but sleeping a gentle sleep, and will no doubt be revived between now and the time for marketing the next crop"
 If the price is to be fixed hereafter, the manufacturer and consumer will be prepared with statistics to bolster up his contention for fixing a lower price, and Commissioner Page calls upon the farmers to make similar pre- paration for looking after their in~ terests. The producers are not or ganized, except as they may hold membership in the Farmers Union.
 They should be organized, but they are not" says he. He calls upon all producers to furnish the depart ment with figures with which to meet the claims of the manufacturers, and suggests the following as a practical basis for arriving at the cost of pro-

 2-The number of hours of double team.
 3-The number of hours of single hosre labor for each operation where horse power is sed.
 4-Let these figures be based on the growing of one acre. If you find the number of man hours and horse hours of labor in producing one acre it will be the best basis for determn- ing the cost
 5-The quantity and value of seed for one acre, including he average a mount of replanting.
 6-The amount of rent per ac- re. State cash and crop amount also. (Not share crop, but the share of the crop that is necess- ary in the neighborhood.)

sixty MILES AN HOUR

A submarine chaser, tuned and
groomed, has been transported into
the heat Of Texas and put to work not
hunting down ! urking German u
boats but in rescuing unfortunate
American aviators, who fall into the
water.
This is a new venture for the sub
marine chaser, or the sea-sled, as it
is more commonly called Ordinari-
ly this craft, which attains a speed
OF sixty miles an hour under the
lashing of it's powerful eight-cylinder
motor, is employed along the Allan
It's coast as guard against the ac-
tivities of the undersea boats. They
have been successful in hunting the
foes down and in guarding coasts.
Sixty-one of the lightning sleds are
in use-sixty along the Atlantic coast
and the sixty-first on Lake Worth in
Fort Worth
Several months ago, when the IA
tai falls among the aviation students
around this city grew alarming in
number, United States army officials
concluded that stunt flying and ad-
vanced training would be less deadly
over the waters of Lake Worth than
over the dry land. The problem of
how to rescue the aviator, should he
tumble. was solved by the sea-sled.
The cost of constructing the boat
and getting it to Fort Worth was SIT,

water. It's length is twenty-four
feet and it's width eight feet, eight
inches. 1t has eighteen air pockets
and the walls are about eight inches
thick. The sled has V shaped
bottom. Credit for suggesting this
shape to the manufacturers is given
to Captain S ". Schermanhorn, who
was formerly stationed at the Fort
Worth air fields.
A crew of three men is required to
operate the sled, which is kept in
readiness for action all the time like

erected for the men ON the lake shore
