 TO DISCUSS TAX

A meeting of owners or representa- tlves of every retail business in Con- way was today called by the school board and Rotary and Commercial Club committees, to be held in the Commercial Club rooms Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not an agree ment can be reached for the collection o. special luxury and sales taxes for the support of the Conway public school.
 Every place of business in the school district is urged to have one or more representatives present at the meet lrg.

 Personal invitations and reminders to be present will be given tomorrow to as many as possible of the business men of the city by members of the board and the two committees, but should anyone be overlooked the invi- tation should be considered as having been extended nevertheless.

Too Many Larks.

Corpus Christi, Tex-"Oh, listen to the lark" is not a popular refrain in south Texas this year. There are more larks in this district of the state than for many years, farmers say, and they are descending upon the corn fields in such numbers that the grain is being pulled up almost as rapidly as 1t can sprout
 The high cost of ammunition Is the chief protection enjoyed by the birds the farmers say, but some of them are adopting an ingenious method of poisoning. Oats are sprouted, and soaked in poison and then scattered over the field intended to be pro teCted.

DECISION
HALTS BOOZE DRIVE
Liquor TO BE Returned-In Scme
Cases, Says Commissioner Kram-
er-Large Quantities Tied Up.

Washington, Mar. 27.--Little liquor
will have to be returned to owners as
a result of recent ruling Of the
United States Circuit Court in South
Carolina that the Volstead act super
seeded the internal revenue laws inso-
FAR AS they apply to Intoxicating IL
quors, Prohibition Commissioner Kra
mcr said tonight. The assertion was
made in commenting upon the action
IN New York yesterday Of federal Of
iiclalS in halting raid on the ground
that the ruling made seizures under
the revenue laws illegal.
The great bulk of the liouor seized
by the government, Commissioner
Kramer declared, was taken under the
Volstead act while being transported
Illegally and this liquor would of
course be unaffected by the new in
terprctation of the law. He added that
he did not know how much liauor
may have been seized i'm various parts
OF the country under the revenue laws
but expressed the belief it was not u
considerable quantity in comparison
with the total amount seized since
prohibition became Il law.
Return of some liquor probably
would be necessary where it had been
$elzed under the revenue laws, Mr..
Kramer asserted, adding that while
some OF 1T may have been DESTROYED,
large quantities are still awaiting de-
tcrmlnation Of their status by courts.
Mr.. Kramer said he believed the
South Carolina ruling would not great
~ interfere with prohibition enforce
ment, At present, he said, very lit
tie real liquor is being taken by fed
cral agents in raids. Most of the H.
legal liquids seized, he explained, were
mutation corrections transported by
pootlcGgcrS for sale as old established
| brands of liquors.
