The FIRST and third bouts were by
semi-professionals and the second by
amateurs. The "roped arena" was in

Ertra Session WiII
 COnUene Next Week

Little Rock, Sept. Ex-Governor Brough yesterday afternoon issued his call for the second extraor- dinary session of the Legislature to convene next Monday noon. The cal follows:
 TO ALL WHOM THESE PRES ENTS SHALL COME-GREET- INGS:
 Know Ye That Whereas, an ax- traordinary occasion has risen which makes it necessary so to do, I, Chas. H. Brough, Governor of the State of Arkansas, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by Sec. 19, Article 6, of the Constitution of the State of Arkan- sas do by these presents call a special session of the General As sembly of the State of Arkansas to meet and convene at the State House at the hour of twelve o'clock noon, on the 22nd day of Septem- Der, 1919, and I hereby specify the purpose for which the General As sembly is convened to be as fol- lows:
 1.-To enact such laws as may be necessary to decrease the high cost of living.
 2.-To enact such laws as will enable cities and towns to collect an additional tax from motor ve- hicles to be use d for street pur- poses.
 3.-For the purpose of enacting laws for establishing local road, bridge, drainage, school and levee improvement districts, and amend ing and curing defects in existing special local laws for the same, and ratifying confirming and vali- dating such laws as will permit the reconstruction or extension through improvement districts of waterworks systems, to the end that cities and towns or new territory taken therein may be supplied with adequate ser vice.
 4.-To appropriate sufficient sum to pay for services rendered and expenses incurred during the ending March 31st, 1919.
 HCAS.H. srhlducmfwyprU eshl
 CHAS. H. BROUGH, Governor
 It is being predicted that this
The courier-index., 1919-09-19

will be an extremely warm and in- teresting session ever held. The Governor has made an appeal to the members to expedite their business as much as possible and complete their work within six days. Of course, he cannot restrict the session, but he thinks that the work can be done in that time. He suggests that every member have all bills drawn, and approved by at torneys, so that they may be ready for introduction the first day. If this can be done their passage may be hurried through rapidly.
 The call opens up great field for new as well as remedial legis- laion, and the first item in the call is the one that will undoubtedly cause more discussion than any oth- CT.
 All agree that something should be done, but there is a great di- vengeance of opinion as to what should be done. Proposed laws have been drafted by the Attorney Gen eral to provide that cost-marks shall be plainly marked on all com- modities offered for sale;s that 1t shall be unlawful to hoard food in cold storage plants and requiring the date on which a commodity IS placed in cold storage to be shown by stamping on the commodity the date when placed therein; and to make it unlawful to charge unusual and exhorbitant prices for merchan- disc and call other articles of com merce in that state.
 The second item in the call IS for the benefit of cities of the second class that are asking for the privilege now enjoyed by cities of the first class, of assessing a special tax against automobiles for street purposes.
 The reference to water-works m the third item is for the benefit of Paragould, which desires to re- build it's water-works system, but it is made general, so that 1t may provide relief for any other city where the same conditions exist.
 The fourth item is for the bene- fit of three or four county tax assessors, whose commissions could not be paid because the fund had been exhausted when their claims were presented. It is made general so that certain other claims against the state, incurred during the bien- nial period ending March S1st, 1919, may be paid.
 It is averaged by the State Comptroller that it will cost an av- craze of $2,O00 day to hold the session. The last extra session ap- propriated $3O,OOO. of which about
The courier-index., 1919-09-19

vicinity, it was found that the funds available from the legal rev. enues of the district would not be sufficient to complete their road whereupon each of the commission CTS clipped in thousand dollars out of their private funds to make up the deficit and all entered in to an agreement to serve the dis trict free of charge, pay all travel ing expenses, etc. This is the spirit which is destined soon to put St. Francis county on the map as one of the banner good roads counties of the state.
 Plans have been approved where by St. Francis County Road I'm provement District No. we'll re- ceive s50,O00 from the federal gov ernment. This district is now en- gagged in building a road east of the St. Francis River running south east from Widner to Hughes, with northeasterly direction to Heth and Round Pound and extending on east to the Crittenden County line. The claim is made for this improvement that it will provide the shortest route to Memphis and, when con- pleted, will constitute the only straight graveled pike between For rest City and Memphis. District 3 now has 35 miles of road under construction, 10 miles of which have already been graveled, while the grading on the remaining 25 miles has been completed and the gravel crews will begin work on the main line running south from Wid- ener this week.

SINGLE ACRE OF APPLES
 YIELD $1,670 CROP THIS YEAR

Rogers, Ark.-Sept. 16.-The re- markable record of making $1,67O in gross receipts from one acre of apple trees is the success of H. W. Cripple, owner of the famous Grip pie orchard west of this city. The orchard consists of 150 acres. MT, Cripple is keeping an accurate re- cord of the proceeds from each acre. The first acre has so far yielded $1.670 and all the apples are not yet harvested from it. Oth- CT acres in the orchard will have a still bigger return, he says. If each acre produces $1,000 worth of apples, and the average probably will be $1,000 the Cripple orchard alone produce $150,O00 apples.

Forrest City, Ark, Sept. 16- The rivalry existing here between the, big land owners and business men, in the matter of building good roads holds. out bib possibilities for progress and development. The commissions of the several road inn provement districts are made up of the most enterprising citizens of St. Francis county. An idea of how determined some of these men are to have good roads may be
