State Nutrition.
 Agent Was Here

Miss Gertrude Conant, state nu- triton specialist, assisted by Miss Alice Bridges, district agent and Miss Sallie Mai Hudson, county demonstrator, gave at the high school on Monday afternoon a prac- tical demonstration in bread making, embracing instruction for fancy rolls, tea rings and many other delicacies along this line. The state is spending a great deal of money to put these things before the wo- men of Arkansas and the attend ance on Monday afternoon was not one for the ladies of Marianna to be proud of. A lady present who has made bread for years, said she learned many things she had not known before. Watch for the next demonstration and attend. Miss Hudson is at our command at all times. Call and see her. She is here to make her home with us and to build up better, healthier Lee county.

Mutt and Jeff
 On Half Holiday

The Courier-Index is in receipt of the following communication:
 Nothing the merchants of our city have ever done for their en- ployes has been more highly appre- ciated and more thoroughly enjoy ed than the Thursday afternoon holiday during the summer months, in order that the employees might use the time in gardening or out door recreation, a pleasure which many of the would not otherwise have the privilege of enjoying, un- less they violated the Holy Sabbath to get some outdoor recreation. Our merchants have never lost a dollar by this act of benevolence, and with the small amount of busi- ness carried on this year, they can well afford to grant their employees these few hours, and by this act of kindness probably keep many from taking the Sabbath day for fishing, hunting. etc. It is to be hoped that our merchants will carefully con- sider this matter before they de- eide against it. If you actually think you are losing too much by granting half day each week, then grant the half holiday every other week. It will not deprive you of single dollars worth of trade.

GOUernOr to Ease
 TdxatiOn Burdens

Little Rock, March 17.-A proc lamation removing penalties for failure to pay county, city and state taxes at the regular tax pay ing period which ends April 10, will be issued before the time limit ex- pires, Governor McRae said last night. The extension limit will be placed as late in May as possible without making property liable to forfeiture under state laws, he said.
 The governor said the proclama- tion will not be an extension of the tax paying period, but meas ure of relief in cases where persons are unable to pay their taxes by April 10. The governor said he was anxious that all who could do so would meet their obligations as usual, and that the remission of the penalty would be attached only to county, city and state taxes. : Road improvement taxes and tax es On bond issues are governed by laws over which the governor has no controls he said, and would not be affected by any proclamation he might issue.
 The proposed extension of time for paying taxes was suggested to Governor McRae some time ago by a committee from Crittenden county, who asked that the governor stay the time for payment of taxes and relieve payment of penalties on the ground that they, as landown- CTS, were unable to pay taxes at the usual time.

Nv ednesday's meeting of the Lions

 an expression of appreciation on
 part of the club the members l the orchestra who are not reg
 members of the Lions Club, Ire made honorary members. At

 ll furnish music.
 [The principal topics for discus Sn were paving, the extension of
 water and sewerage systems and
 new ferry on the St. Francis Yer at Cody. Max D. Miller, R.
 Nixon, Mayor o. G. Norment, S. Hummer, J. M. McClintock "a Paul Benham led in the dis <ssion of the paving, water and
 werage propositions. MT. Nixon id he thought the time was ripe
 E launching these projects, and he bved that the members of the club
 on record as favoring the im- ediate installation of these i'm {oyements. His motion was unan- kously adopted. Mayor Norment fd the city is now spending about 10 900 annually in the upkeep of "a streets, but at best the work Sne is only temporary. It was Sggested that before any addition i paving is done it is necessary to ktend the water and sewerage. MT. hummer said the new water dis fct has already been created and lat plans have been drawn for Ia extensions. However, new es- hates must be made on the cost I the extensions due to the recent eclines in the prices of materials la labor. He thought this infor- |ation could be secured within kirty days. Max Miller said he be- eved this was a good time to bring ! some foreign capital and spend k on these very necessary improve 5ents. Property owners would not & required to pay any taxes on 1e bond issues until 1922, and by lat time it is very probable con |tions here will be much improved. Speaking for the committee that Rs had charge of the new ferry Paul Benham said the bat had been delivered at Cody but here has been a delay in putting it } service due to the necessity of laking some changes on the boat. has also been necessary to order
 new wire cable, 1900 feet long. is expected the. cable will reach 'ody within the next few days, fol- ,wing which the ferry will be put operation. Many complaints have cen made that the ferry is too arrow at each end. The committee as had some alterations made and hinks this trouble has been over ome. pr. o. l.. Williamson said e had talked with Geo. Kausler of ongin, one of the members of the ommittee, and MT. Kausler said he las confident the boat was all right nd would meet every requirement the traffic.

CROP ACREAGEs REQUIRED.

The State Department of Agricul-
ture announces that all farmers are
to report the acres of each crop to
the tax lister this year. This is not
for taxation, but for the annual crop
census survey that was provided for
by the last legislature. This informa-
tion will be compiled by the counties
and not released until next January,
when it will be in time for the farm
ers to use in aiding their plans for
the 1922 crops.
1t is important that each farmer
prepare list of his crops and have
ready for listing, as it will save time
and confusion later. This census puts
North Carolina in the efficiency class
of the most progressive farming
states.

DE[UGE OF GOLD
FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY
ASSAY OFFICE OVERFLOW
Bankers Can Deposit Metal
With Federal Reserve Bank
or Can Deposit 1t With AS
say Office. Reserve Bank
Will Not Only Take British
Bars With Advance.

New York, April 30.-Deluged
with a steady stream of gold from
with their vaults choked and creak-
ing under the weight of gold in bars,
in strips and in coin, officials in the
Government Assay Office have thrown
up their hands and called halt to
the amount that shall be dumped up
on them by bankers, for melting and
assaying. The assay Office in New
York has instructed bankers import
ing gold to send the metal to Phila-
delphia. This is being done with ap-
proximately half of the $40, 0,552,OeO
that has arrived in New York since
April 1.
The Equitable Trust Company sent
its last shipment of gold to Philadel-
phia for assay and credit. The Bank
ers Trust Company is shipping some
of its imports to the same mint, and
the American Express Company is
sending virtually every bar it imports
in especially guarded cars.
There are two means by which
bankers can dispose of the metal now
rolling in on them. One is to deposit
it with the Federal Reserve Bank, the
other is by depositing it with the
assay office. The Reserve Bank now
will take only British bars, on which
it makes an advance of 98 per cent.
to importers, settling up when the
metal is assayed. The assay Office ad-
vances 90 per cent. of the estimated
value, remitting the balance when the
gold finally is melted and weighed.
Yesterdays Federal Reserve Bank
statement shows gold holdings to be
$2,S17,56s, a gain from the $2,-
29S,O71 of the week before. Arrivals
