the state indicate that there has been a very considerable reduction in the acreage of many of the staple crops for this year. It has been estimated by some that the cotton acreage has been reduced 50 per cent. Associations and agencies had been advocating such a course; az ricultural authorities had recom- mended it and weather and finan- cial conditions have forced it. Sim liar causes have brought about a reduction of at least 50 per cent in the rice acreage. For rice which has become one of the states larg- est crops has been for some time drug upon the market and the rice growers have lost heavily. A decrease is also reported in the acreage of tomatoes. On the other hand there has been material in- creases in the acreage devoted to oats, corn, strawberries and can teloupes, as well as forage and hay crops. While the strawberry acre age is larger than it was last year. the yield has been considerably smaller because of the late frosts and unreasonable weather. All prices are off. There is no crop of any character whatever that is bringing the returns which were en- joyed by the farmers in recent years. This years crops of all kinds are being. produced at con siderable less cost than were the crops of other years.
 
 It has been suggested by a mem Der of the Little Rock city council that the members serve for the next two years at S1 year and that the money saved from their salaries be devoted to the construction of an auditorium in the city park, which it is estimated will cost about $15,000. The aldermen, of whom there are IS, receive $40 a month each for their services. This would make SS,640 a year, or $17,280 for the two years. It is recognized by those who have served in the city council that the pay received is en- tirely inadequate and does not com pensate for the time spent in look ing after the affairs of the city and the many requirements of the sew eral constituencies. Naturally the proposition is not being received with very much favor by the mem- bers of the council. They cannot understand why they should be call ed upon to donate $4S0 a year to the construction of an auditorium which is admitted to be for the

Chicago, May S.-The stork was on its way today to the home of Ralph Alum, Chicago advertising man, and Mir. Alum employed an artist to prepare neat little card worded like this:
 Richard Alum has arrived in Chicago and will stay at our house. He is an imperious little chap, but you'll like him when you know him better"
 Somehow the story heard that these documents were being held for release. He arrived per sched- uie. And little Richard came with him. But Richard was twins-girls.

general public, any more than. that , they should give up such an amount of money for the building or repair
 of streets, the maintenance of cleo Uric lights or any other public in- 1 stitution or service. However, there is little prospect that the proposi-
 tion will go through.
 The Little Rock Street Railway Company is making an effort to increase it's fares to 7c. It was
 granted an increase of from 5c to Sc by the Arkansas Corporation Commission, there being little op- position on the part of the public,
 as it was realized that the company
 was making no profit on its busi-
 ness and the actual expense m fuel and labor had more than doubled.
 Now the company insists that it is
 still losing and that it must have
 an increase in it's passenger fares
 or there must be a radical reduc- tion in the wages paid it's employees.
 The application IS made through the city council, jurisdiction having been
 returned to the city by the act of the recent legislature in abolishing the Corporation Commission. It IS
 probable that there will be very thorough auditing and examination of the companys books before def
 mite action is taken.
 Notwithstanding the opposition to highway construction and the many obstacles that have been thrown in the way during the last year, some notable instances of highway construction are found in the state. Two lines of highway especially are being completed, which in the course of the next few months should pro- vide a system of highways extend ing entirely across the state from the southeast to the northwest corn CT, through Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Russellville and Harrison. The road south of Pine Bluff to the Louisi- ana line is rapidly nearing com pletion and is the largest single highway project in the United States. The road from Pine Bluff to Little Rock is very good, al though badly in need of repairs in places.
 The Ozark mountain section can be reached easily from Little Rock by way of the Ozark National For est Reserve Highway, now being completed through Pope and New ton counties, connecting with the highways in Boone and Carroll counties and thence to the Missouri line. The route from Little Rock is along the line of the Missouri Pa cific railroad to Russellville, thence due north through Dover and the Forest Reserve to Jasper, the county seat of Newton county, thence to Harrison, the county seat of Boone county. Newton is the first county belonging to the Ozark Fairgrounds Association which will be reached by the tourists. The announcement of the completion of the Jefferson Highway cutoff, as this portion of the road will be called, will be the signal for the invasion of tourists from points in Louisiana, Mississip- pi and southern and central Arkan- sas. By the completion of this highway, portion of Arkansas, comprising one-siXth of it's area, is brought for the first time into direct connection with the rest of the state. Heretofore the Boston range of the Ozark mountains has been an impossible barrier to those wishing to drive to and from North west Arkansas.

The Seven Seas In Italy.

Inc Seven seas (Septem Maria) are
extensive lagoons of salt water in
northern Italy, generally separated
from the Adriatic by narrow strips
OF sand or embankments, partly nat.
orai and partly artificial, but having
openings which admit the influx and
emux of the sea water, and serve as
ports for communication with the
mainland. The best known and the
most extensive Of these lagoons is that
IN which Venice Is situated, which
extends from Torcello in the north to

Facts About Cocoa Tree.

The cocoa tree grows wild In Gen.
trail America and South America and
was cultivated in Mexico and Peru
long before the coming of Columbus.
It is a small tree dozen feet or more
high, with evergreen leaves and wax
like flowers which appear in clusters
on the main trunk OR large branches,
so that the fruits are attached directly
to the older parts of the tree rather
than to the tips Of the younger
branches. The fruit, which ripens in
from two to four months, is melon
shaped, nearly foot long, yellowish-
brown or purplish in color, and marked
with about ten ribs. The cocoa beans
OF commerce are obtained from differ
ent sources grown on different vari-
eties Of cocoa trees, and the brands
are blended as Is done with coffee.
