HARAWAY CONTESTS NEW APPOINTMENT

Little Rock, Jan. 4-Another chap ter is being written in the controversy over the treasuryship of Phillips county. On December II during the absence of Governor Brough from the state, Acting Governor Ben E. McFar- rin, appointed Al Haraway as treas urer to succeed Amos Jarman This appointment was made over the pro- test of Governor Brough who asked that no such appointment should be made. Governor Brough contends and is sustained by legal talent, that the new term for which the late Amos Jarman had been elected would have begun January l, 1921, and that the appointment of Haraway could have been made only for the period from December II to January l. On Dec ember 31 Governor Brough, announced the appointment of Joe Dennison, eff fective January 1. This appointment is being contested by Haraway, who conteds that his appointment was to be effective until his successor should be elected and and qualified. MT. Haraway is a brother-in law of the late Amos Jarman and MT. Dennison is personal and political friend of Governor Brough

WOULD GIVE FUND
 TO NEW DISTRICT

A formal order annulling the as sessment for 1921 of Waterworks Im- provement District of Conway was made at a meeting of the board of im- proveent of this district this morning. The accounts of the district showed sufficient funds on hand to pay the final installment of approximately $6,500 bonds and interest maturing January l, 1922, making it unneces- sary to collect further assessments, although one had been levied when the district was formed for collection in 1921.
 Attorney George F. Hartje, who has been collecting delinquent assessments for the district, has collected $1 ,932.3 .32 and reported about $400 still delin- quent. He was directed to bring suits in chancery court for the col lection of this amount.
 After paying the final bonds and in terest the district will have surplus of between 5000 and $3,000 depend ing upon the amount of delinquent taxes yet to be collected It was planned to refund ths amount pro rata to the taxpayers, but after con- sidering the difficulty of calculating the exact amounts and of issuing vouchers and getting them in the hands of the proper persons, it was decided to recommend the passage of a special act by the legislature au- thorizing the old board to turn the surplus funds over to the recently or ganized Waterwords District No. ?. In this way it will benefit the tax payers the same as refund, in re- ducing the amount of taxes required for the new district.
 The funds on hand were ordered t'laced on deposit in local banks at four per cent interest.

REASON WHY BATTERIES
 ARE SHORT LIVED IN
 FORD AUTOMOBILES
Lincoln-JOnes Electric Company De.
 scribes Various Reasons.

Since the Ford car has been cleo trlcally equipped a good many owners have wondered at the relative short ness of life of their starting batteries.
 The reason for this is found in the rather rigid spring suspension of the Ford and the fact that many owners drive their cars rapidly over rough roads, together with the short wheel base and the light weight of the car itself.
 The vibration set up under these conditions quite naturally is transmit ted to the battery. This induces a slight rubbing action between the plates and separators, causing rapid deterioration of the separator and subsequent short circuiting of the battery.
 There is one battery. however, on the market whose construction speci- ally fits it to withstand these eondi- tions. That battery is the Vesta. The plates in the Nesta battery are locked firmly apart by the Nesta Indestruct- ible Isolators These ''isolators' are practically vibration proof, and there is no way in which the plates can touch. Inasmuch as the 'isola- tors" are not in the path of the cur rent they in no way affect the capac- ity of the battery. Ford owners are finding for this reason that the Nesta Batteries are exceptionally long lived in their carS.-Advt.
