Plan War on Hair Seals.

Hunting hair seals by airplane and destroying them by machine-gun fire has been seriously proposed 10 the Canadian fisheries department by fish ermen, says a report from Vancouver, B. c. The scheme proposed and tried last spring of trapping the salmon-de- stroying hair seals at the mouth of the Fraser river by means of set lines and short laterals armed with strong hooks brought measure of success, but was not entirely victory over the wise mammalia of the ocean. The new proposal is to come down on them from the unsuspected heights, as they bask on the sandbars in thou sands, and pour a stream of bullets into them.

Skiddino Is Overcome

Attention is called in a circular re- port from Sydney. Australia, to new invention of front-drive vehicle which entirely prevents skidding. A test over 16,0O0 miles of rough road has been made, 1t is claimed with no signs of wear. The front wheels are pivoted in the center, which enables the steering of the car with much greater ease than In the rear-wheel- driven machine. The device is now attached to an old worn British car which, prior to the attachment of the device, weighed 32 cwt., with a speed of thirty-eight miles an hour travelling fifteen miles on one gallon of gasoline. After alteration and application of the front drive device, the car weighs 35 cwt., has a speed of forty-five miles an hour and will go seventeen and one half miles on single gallon of gaso- line.

FAULKNFR'S CROP
 IS THIRD LARGEST
TOTAL OF 22,749 BALES
Of Cotton were Ginned in this County from Crop of 1920, Exceeding All
 Years but 1913 and 1914.

Despite the worst depredations by boil weevils ever known, Faulkner county produced the third largest crop of cotton in it's history in 1920, ac- cording to final census ginning fig ures just announced. The total gin nings from the crop of 1920 were 22,- 749 bales. The record crop of 1913 was 25,306 bales. The second largest was that of 1914, 23,O6s bales.
 It is possible, however, that revised figures will make the 1920 crop the second largest instead of the third, as 1t now stands. When the figures for teh last report are gathered ginners are requested to estimate the number of bales they will afterwards gin. One Conway ginner said he gave an esti- mate of 10 additional bales, but since then had ginned over 40 bales and knew of other yet to be ginned. As the census total for 1920 is only 319 bales under that of 1914, it could easily happen that the ginners underesti- mated the remainder by more than olC pciICS dIld tIldG IuC lCLO CIOp exceeded that of 1913.
 Census figures for 12 years show a range from 14,342 bales ginned in Faulkner county from the crop of 1918 to the record crop of 1913, 25,306 bales. The average in this county for all years from 1909 to 1920, inclusive, is 19,756 bales. By years the record of bales ginned follows: 1909, 17,906; 1910, 19,539; 1911, 18,029; 1912, 20,- 6S5; 1913, 25,3O6; 1914, 23,06S; 1915, 1906; 1916, 21,792; 1917, 1s,391; i; 1918, 14,342; 1919, 16,533; 1920, 22,- 749;
 While the size of the cotton crop in this county exceeded that of the previous year by about 37 per cent, it's value was considerably less than half that of the 1919 crop. In other words, 16,553 bales in 1919 produced more than double, perhaps almost treble, the amount of money realized and to be realized from 22,749 bales in 1920. The average value of a bale of the 1919 crop was estimated at $200. It is more difficult to determine the average this year, as much of the crop has not yet been sold, but S60 per bale would probably be some where in the neighborhood of the average selling price of the 1920 crop in this county.
 The price of cottonseed has shown about an equal decline, averaging be- tween one-fourth and one-third of that of the preceding year.

GOOD OIL SHOWING
 IN WHITE COUNTY

Judsonia, March 25.-A gratifying showing of oil and gas has been en- countered in the we'll being drilled in Section 29-8-6 between Judsonia and Searcy, it was learned from mem- bers of the drilling crew.
 "We have a nice showing of oil and gas," said w. A. Batten, presi- dent of the Ken-Ark Oil and Gas Com- pany, when he was asked about the we'll last night "We think that we have an oil we'll, but of course you never can tell for sure until you get it."
 The we'll is being drilled by the 1n- vincible Oil Corporation for the Ken Ark company. Hurry Up" Yost, famous University of Michigan foot ball coach, is vice president of the latter company.
 Drillers have set the 8 14-inch cas- ing at 1850 feet and now are ream- ing to set the 1-4-inch casing at 2,S60 feet. There is 1850 feet of water in the hole. It is expected that the we'll will be brought in about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week if no unforeseen delays occur.

NEW AUTO TAXES
 NOT RETROACTIVE

Little Rock, March 25-It is impos- sible at this time to say just what the result of the new automobile tax law will be in so far as it's effect upon the state highway fund is concerned. There is no doubt but that it will greatly increase the fund, but it must be remembered that seventy per cent of the total revenues are to be re- turned to the counties where the tax is paid and only thirty per cent turned into the state treasury. The distri- button of the fund is retroactive and the counties quota must be paid for the entire year of 1921. The license scheduled, however, is not retroactive and any motor vehicle that has paid less than the schedule in the new bill before May 1 will not be required to pay the difference. It follows there fore that Ford or six-ton truck will alike get by 1921 with the pay ment of the usual fee of $10.

HOREMANS DEFEATED
 BY U. s. CUE WIZARDS
(By United Pressj

New York, March 25.-Edouard Horemans didn't get very far in his quest of the worlds billiard cham pionship.
 The Belgian champion and the best of the European players came over widely heralded as the challenger of Willie Hoppe. No agreement could be reached upon terms and conditions for the match and it was then suggest ed that Horeman's play some of the near champions"
 He agreed to meet Jake Shaeffer and Welker Cochran, two of the very best youngsters in the United States and he was beaten by both in big point matches
 Horemans' defeat proved just what the experts said after looking over his game when he came to this country. He is marvellous as an exhibition match, but as a money player" he I lacks the class. Hoppe on the other hand is at best in the games for big stakes.
 1 Horemans, however, deserves cred it for playing the two American young sters. He could have continued in exhibition work and would have made money in addition to getting a match with Hoppe because the champion eventually would have been forced in- to a match with him.
 The defeats will hurt the Belgian's drawing power and make him less of an attraction.
 The series did prove one thing. In Schaeffer, Cochran and Horemans, the champion, has a trio of contenders who would be exceedingly dangerous in a 4800-point match, distance that Hoppe has shown no liking to go.

PREDICT HARDING GIVE
 BIG PLACE TO SOCIETY
Capital Asks if "Advanced" Dancing Taboo at White Hcuse-Wil-
 son Held AlOOf.
(By United PressJ

Washington, March 25.-Brilliant uniforms and evening dress, compar- atlvely little used here during the Woodrow Wilson regime, are being slicked up in anticipation of the re- sumption of the colorful social whirl under the present administration. Official Washington has passed through eight lean social years years and is hungry.
 The absence of the gayety that characterized past administrations was attributed to the war, Wilson's illness and the Wilson personality. White house functions, comparative ly few in number during the first four Wilson years. The aloofness of the white house has reflected to certain extent by the various foreign lega- tions, which maintained measure of gayety until the war split the col ony into two groups.
 Signing of the peace pact by the various European governments in- volved in the war revived the social life of the embassies, but the indiffer- ent attitude of the white house, al- ways regarded as the social leader, served as a check to a return to the pre-Wilson splendor.
 Unusually brilliant social functions characterized the Roosevelt admins tratlon, when state dinners in the white house and dances by the younger set stimulated the social life of the embassies. Under the warming in1u- ence of the white house and the sprightly Roosevelt children, gay func- tlons crowded the evenings at the en- bassies, where representatives of all nations, resplendent in gorgeous uni forms, fairly bristling with medals and other decorations, gave an air of bril- liancy to the events.
 The Hardings have hardly inhabited the white house long enough to make their way about the numerous rooms and corridors without the aid of guides, but the impression has been received by the socially -famished that return to the old days is in pros- pect.
 White house functions have more than a social significance. They are regarded by the initiate as barom- eter of pending events. The invita- tlon lists are closely scanned for clues to coming national and interna- tional coups for certain groupings of cabinet members, senators, congress- men and ambassadors may forecast important developments.
 Resumption of dances and dinners at the white house is being watched with keen interest aside from the po- litical and social phases. Will the shimmy, the toddle and other lad vanced" dances of the past few years be permitted in the presidential res idence? Or will the president, through the master of ceremonies, ban the misunderstanding, heel-clicking, and floor-tapping dances and decree re- turn to the very proper and stately dances of the past decade?
 The foreign questions are engaging the attention of the families of our own statesmen and those of the en- bassadors.
