BERRY BOXES ARE
 SCARCE ARTICLE
FRUIT GRRoWERs MAY HAVE TO SEND THEM OUT IN euNNY SACKS OR WATER
 BARRELS.

Another difficulty confronts inc small fruit grower of Arkansas. Last week he had the frost to contend with and this week he faces the prospect of good crop, but little in the way of package in which to ship it to market. Berry boxes are few and far between, and in spite of the fact that Arkansas has several large plants which are devoted almost ex- clusively to the manufacture of such boxes and crates, they are unable to fill the demand The Little Rock Barrel and Box Company, which SUD- plies a big portion of the state. has been making strenuous effort to purchase a number of cars of boxes and crates, but so far has failed to secure a sufficient quantity to fill orders already on hand
 "The berry growers of Arkansas , says R. H. MeNair of the Little Rock Barrel and Box Company. eface a se- rious condition. I know of no berry growing community which has a sui ficient amount of boxes to ship it's crop. We have secured the country in an effort to bring relief to the grower, but so far with little sue cess"
 The manufacture of a berry box is quite simple, but the machines which make them are very expensive, con sequently few plants are equipped with them. A fine veneer is required for the box This is fed into the which cuts, bends into shape and stitches it with wire. The boxes are made at the rate of many thou sand an hour One good size berry patch will use in a day all that a ma chine will make in an hour There are two big plants manufacturing berry boxes in Arkansas, one at Jones' boro and the other at Paragould, but has been in position to accept orders for some months

ASSEMBLING
 PLANT READY
CURTIS COMPANY HAS MATE RIAL ON HAND TO BEGIN TURNING OUT AUToMo-
 BlIES SOON.

Curtis automobiles will be manu- factured in Little Rock in quantities at an early date. The Curtis Company has secured a building on West Ninth street, at the railroad crossing. This building was at one time occupied by the Gus Jones Lumber Company, and is of sufficient size to house the work shops of the automobile company for the present.
 Several carloads of parts have been unloaded at the warehouse, and a number of skilled workmen employed to assemble the cars. The first Lit tie Rock-built Curtis car is expected to appear on the streets within the next few weeks.
 The Curtis Company is seeking a location fer their big plant which is to be erected in Little Rock Other cities have offered inducements, but the men at the head of this company are residents of this city and do not intend to see such a large industry located elsewhere.
 Quite a few requests have been re- ceived for Curtis automobiles, and as soon as the assembling plant is well under way the company will begin booking orders for the delivery of cars.

ASSESSMENTS
 MAY 3-JUNE 5
TAXPAYERS ARE NOTIFIED BY COUNTY ASSESSOR TO ASSESS PERSONAL AND NOT REAL
 PROPERTY.

County Assessor W. T. Borough is having notices posted throughout the county reminding the taxpayers to as- sess their personal property during the assessing period, from May to June 3.
 MT. Borough said he wished to em- phasize the fact that the taxpayers are to assess their personal property and not their real property during this time, and the office of the county as- sessor will be open Wednesday nights, May 12, 19 and 26 and June for the convenience of persons who are una ble to get away from thelr work dur ing the day
 There will be penalty of 25 per cent for failure to assess personal property, but no penalty for failure to assess real roperty. Dogs over four months old must be assessed. Corpo- ratons must furnish the assessor with list of personal property in road and school district in which property is To- cated before April 30, of each year. road tax All persons, guardians or administrators of estates owning stock in building associations are required to list this stock at the same time they list other personal property.
 For information of the taxpayers, MT Borough explained the act Of the last legislature aboloshing township boards in all counties having a popu- lation of less than 75.000 This was a social act for Pulaski county. In those counties of over 75,O0O population, where the township boards were abol- ished, the old form of equalization boards was established. The point brought out by Mr. Borough was the fact that real estate is assessed by the county assessor. Then the Equaliza- ton Board has authority to either raise or lower the valuation placed on the property by the assessor
 Following action by the Edualiza- tion Board, the taxpayer may appeal the decision of the board to the county court during the October term, if he thinks the assessed valuation too high. No taxpayers appeal will be heard af- ter April 10, the expiration of taxpay- ing time, and the appeal should be made during the fall term of the coun- ty court It was. because it is the duty Of the county assessor to place Taaii:s:: tion on real property that MT. Dor- ough says it is unnecessary for tax payers to assess other than personal property during the coming assessing period.

yAITLT OPENING
 PUBLIC EVENT
SOUTHERN TRUST COMPANY COMPLETE $45,oo0 SAFETY DE- PoSlT VAULT INVITES
 INSPECTION.

Without doubt the largest and most
 socure safety deposit vault in the state bas been completed by the Southern Trust Company of this city. This rault constructed in the basement of inc bank, is IS by 36 feet, has concrete enforced walls two feet in thickness, and is equipped with a regulation hank vault door weighing 21 1000 hounds. It has cost the Southern ETrust Company over $45,0O0 to build
 this vault.
 Over six months ago the Southern &Trust Company began the construc- sfion. The floor was first laid. Then came the walls. All have steel rods about half inch in thickness, every -four inches. These rods do not run only up and down, but crossways,
 making a perfect network of steel, 8With concrete in between. On the in- |side of the vault there is a layer of armor steel that is ever one-half inch Fin thickness. How anyone not having sthe combination to the safe door could break into this vault is beyond even
 the most vivid imagination. But to add to the Gibraltar strength of the aFault, it has been equipped with burg j lar alarm system, so those having their kaluables locked up in this vault need lose no sleep when it is opened for the reception of deposits.
 A public reception will probably be
 arranged, in order that the people knay visit the bank and see the preeau-
 lions that have been taken to protect kaluables that cannot be handled in he regular vaults of a banking insti- Button.
