When Dr. E. H. Black and Mrs. Black returned to Mena after an ab- sence of several years, they an- nounced that they did so to stay that they had been wholly unable to find a place so wholly desirable for a home.
 As an evidence of intention, pr. Black first secured a most desirable location for his dental office, a pretty suite of rooms fronting on Mena street in the Lochridge building. His next step was to start quiet search for the best available land on which to build a home. He finally settled on lots facing north on Port Arthur avenue, Mena's best residence street, these being between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Here a frontage of 150 feet was secured.
 Then workmen started the con- struction of the house proper, and in every detail this is one of the very best in the city. It is of true bunga- low type, and has seven rooms and bath, besides a basement in which a hot water heating plant will be in- stalled within few weeks. The out

EDUCATIONAL TAX
 S2.6l PER CAPITA
That Was States Payment This Year, According to Statistics-Decrease in School Enumeration Is Shown
 -Apportionment Made Today.

Little Rock, Sept. 3.--The states per capita payment for education in 1921, according to figures obtained Saturday in the office of the state treasurer and the superintendent of public instruction, is only little more than S2.61--approximately $2.615.
 This represents the per capita ap- portionment which will be made to- morrow by the State Board of Appor- tionment, when the common school fund will be prorated to the counties. In the pro rata the county school emu merations. which include all the chil- dren of school age, in the county, will be used as the basis of distribution. The common school fund is that DOT tion of the state tax which is levied for school purposes, ana does not in clude the county or district taxes. Altho the state tax will yield only S2.6l for each child this amount will be increased several times by county and district funds. After counties have received their share of the state common fund, the county treasurer will make further apportionment, adding the various county funds, pen alties, etc, to the amount received from the state, and distributing the aggregate to the school districts on the basis of school population. The amount of district tax which is voted upon at each election is held by the county treasurer to the credit of each district, and will be made available to the districts without apportionment.
 School Enumeration Decreases.
 The common school fund this year is $1, ,SS0.42. The 1921 school emu meration of the state is 675,001, de- crease of l,00S since 1920 when the enumeration was 676,090 J. L. Bond, superintendent of public instruction, accounted for the decrease by saying that the school census had been taken much more careful this year, and that padding" such as had been found in some districts in the past, had been eliminated largely. Practically all the counties in which the larger towns are located, saw heavy decreases. Ap- proximate losses were: Pulaski, 1,700; Sebastian, 150; Miller, 2.500; Jeffer- son, 400, etc. Faulkner county, which includes the town of Conway, gained about 400, and Phillips, which includes Helena, gained 1,100. Union county also gained 100. Polk county gain ed "A.

side finish, both architecturally and in the color scheme, is very attractive, but it was the inside to which great est attention was given, all the wood work being brought near to polish and then given four coats of varnish, each of which was rubbed down with pumice. The floors, particularly beautiful, are of edge grain native pine, cut narrow. An unusual fea- ture is four roomy closets built of native red cedar, thus being proof against moths, the housekeeper's ter TOT. The electric and bath fittings all are of the best in both quality and design.
 In addition to the residence itself, there is a very pretty garage 14x20 feet and wood and storage house of the same size. These, in design and finish, fit in we'll with that of the house. Concrete walks are placed wherever there is a need, back and front, and a substantial curbing pro- tects the parkway in front.
 All-in-all, Dr. and Mrs. Black have constructed a home that means much to Mena. It would be credit to any community.
