Is numbered and described. A copy
Of this catalogue will become the prop
erty of each Legion post. The only
expense attached TO posts ordering the

will be established In almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission Of the catalogues and the in
formation concerning the location Of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The story Of the establishment Of
the bureau Of commercial economics
is that Of a fulfillment OF vow which
a blind man took years ago, should his
sight be restored. DR.. Francis Hol-
ley, the founder and director Of the
bureau, vowed to work for the bet

Paying in Dresden China.

Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the usual Dresden mark are
being passed from hand to hand In
SaXOny. II Is not that people nre bar
tering their cups and saucers or are
getting rid of the contents of their
china cupbosrds, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark of Ores
den has been noted.
A new coinage In porcelain has been
put into circulation TO supersede small
paper money, and one of its valuable
assets Is the fact that II can he
washed, so no one need complain of
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with n hearty welcome,
and the factory OF Meissen has never
sent out anything more popular than
these little pieces of china that are
too small for plate, too shallow TO
hold water and not adorned with any
thing but the most simple devices.

ANOTHER WHISKEY
 CASE ROUNDED UP OFFICERS' GOOD RECORD
Six Illicit Stills Captured Since Jan uary, Four Operators Sentenced
 and Other Two Under Bond.

The arrest of D. A. Callahan, living southwest of Conway, on a charge of making and having whiskey in hls possession, brings the total rounded up by the sheriff's and constable's of fices to six, in addition to a large number of convictions in misdemeanor cases for transporting and having liquor in possession. Callahan, who was placed under arrest and a $500 bond late Saturday by Deputy Sheriff J. l. Summers, was indicted by the grand jury at the July term. About three months ago still was captured on a farm occupied by Callahan, by Deputy Summers and Deputy Con- stable J. A. King.
 Of the six cases of alleged manu- featuring, four defendants are either in the penitentiary or under sentence and two others are under bond. At the July term of circuit court Noah Hunter and Dote Harrell were each given a one-year sentence, which they are now serving. Check Winston was convicted and sentenced to one year but the case is now in the supreme court under appeal. Winston is now Tn jail, having been arrested since court adjourned on a new charge of manufacturing liquor Arthur Brown entered plea of guilty to making liquor, the court suspending his sen. tence until the January term.
 Frank Pitcock, indicted for illicit dlstilling, failed to appear for trial in July and his $500 bail bond was forfeited. Callahan's arrest brings the total to six.
 Deputy Summers of the sheriff's of. flee and Deputy King of the con- stables office have done practically all the work of securing evidence and making arrests which led to these con. victions. Their activities in this un- pleasant and sometimes dangerous but necessary work has been the occasion of much favorable comment bv the friends of law enforcement in Faulk- her county.

SAW CORN SELL FOR
 15 CENTS IN OLAHOMA

Cotton is about as complete failure in Oklahoma as it is in Arkansas, and the grain crops are good but prices extremely low, according to S. R. Ethridge, who returned yesterday from stay of several months with his daughter, Mrs. w. H. James, at Haskell, Okla.
 'I saw corn sell on the streets of Haskell Saturday for 15 cents bushel," he said "It was not first clas corn, but was fine hog feed. Good oats bring only IS cents bushel and the best hay only $5 per ton" MT. Ethridge said he would not advise any Arkansas farmer to sell out and go to Oklahoma. Less than 10 per cent of those farming out there own their own lands, he said, the reason being that prices for land are so high on account of prospective oil value few can afford to own them. Provisions for renters are very poor, he said, and returns from crops do not average any better than in Arkansas.

WILCOX FARM SELLS
 6 OF FIRST 7 BALES

Up to noon today seven bales of 1921 cotton had been sold at Conway. and six of them came from the Will COX farm, north of Conway, being sold by W. C. Wilcox and his son, Sam Wilcox. The Wilcoxes have brought Tn the first bale three years out of the past five, and they always make it point to gather their cotton quickly and market it early. Sometimes, as was the case in 1919, they lose by not holding. but at other times, like 1920, they win, and they say that year in and year out it pays to gather cotton without delay and sell it immediately

Miss Emma Smith, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Marcus T. Smith, has been awarded the scholarship at the Uni. versity of Arkansas as honor graduate library fee. High schools fully ac- led the class in scholarship last year and was valedictorian at the gradual ing exercises. About 50 such appoint ments are made to honor students from Arkansas public schools each year.
 Honor scholarships carry more than tuition fees. By a special provision they cover matriculation fees and stu dent activity fees, which entitle the holder to athletic events and the most of the lectures given at the university during the year. They also cover the library fee. High school fully ac- credited by the university are given the privilege of naming a recipient of this scholarship.

ARKANSAS BONDS
 NEVER DEFAULTED
ALWAYS PROMPTLY PAID
Leading Security House Pays High Tribute to Integrity of Arkan-
 sas Improvement Issues.
Arkansas Gazette.)

One of the leading bond houses of the country and one that has dealt largely in Arkansas securities gives an impressive answer to statements in eastern papers that because of Arkansas road program the people are on the verge of bankruptcy.
 This firm had Arkansas improve ment bonds worth $1 1,600000 in prin. cipal and interest, maturing on Au- gust l and on September 1. With the exception of one item of 1000, and this payment was delayed for a short time only, every dollar was promptly paid. Despite the sensational yarns in eastern papers, Arkansans are not bankrupt and Arkansas credit has not been impaired.
 In a letter to the Gazette, one of the executive officers of this bond concern says:
 Il want to tell how wonderfully Arkansas has measured up to it's obligations that were distributed through our organization. 1 reckon that we have handled more Arkansas bonds than any other investment banker. We had over S1,600,000 of principal and interest maturing on August first and September first. l am delighted to say that every nickel of it has been paid, with the exception of one item amounting to $1,000, that we have had to carry for from 30 to 50 days each year fol the last 10, owing tO faulty construc. tion of the bonds, rather than in- ability of the taxpayers to meet the obligation.
 This is a record of which any state should be proud and if Arkan- sas during the worst year that it has ever experienced, can meet it's obliga- tions in this splendid manner, we should encouragingly look forward tG it's future credit.
 Not only has Arkansas met the obligations that it credited through us but, in my opinion, the tax collections have been better in your state thar in any of the surrounding states. Com parison are odious, but Missouri, fol instance, has not been nearly SC prompt in the payment of it's taxes as has Arkansas the last year.

 WHITE GO. ROAD e2 PER CENT OPPOSE IT Plan to Hard Surface Rosebud and
 Searcy Highway Abandoned
 After Objections are Filed.
lSearcV CitiZenl


 County Judge F. o. White went out on the Rosebud-Searcy road Friday with the county's giant Rumley engine 2O-40 machine, and the Russell special grader, each manned by an expert in his line, and after having cleaned the ditches and looked after drainage ditches he will grade the road all the way from Searcy to the county line beyond Rosebud.
 This work is to take the place of the work that the commissioners of this road district talked of doing re. gently. as nine remonstrance petitions have been filed with the county court which are said to contain 92 per cent of the real estate land values within the district. These petitions ask that cheaper method of road building be considered and the landowners be saved the heavy expense that goes with the usual method of pike build ing; they say that the cotton crop is short because of the boil weevil and army worm and that labor and mater ial are yet higher than they will be later; that they are willing and will cooperate with the county judge by donating money, teams and manual labor in order to relieve the present condition of this road. Judge White says that he is now using $500 of the regular county tax in doing the pre- liminary work; that he hopes to get from $500 to $1 ,000 from other sources and that he expects from the liberal tone of the remonstrances filed with him that the people will be glad to cooperate to the full extent of their ability in putting this road in fine shape.
 Judge White is strong believer in letting majority rule in the road question, just as in other matters, and says he will call an election at any time and submit any road propo- sition that the people want to vote on to a referendum vote and that he will not be party to any bond issue that has not been thus disposed of; that ne Will recognize majority m real estate values or majority in num- bers of land owners, and carry out their wishes whether for or against bond issue.
 The commissioners of this district are in harmony with the people and with Judge White in this matter and are to be congratulated upon having gotten results on this particular road without having spent any money. The meeting that they held recently was informal and the offer of funds with which to build pike was generous on the part of the banks, but they gladly yield to the wishes of the peo- pie in getting the Rosebud to Searcy road built without having to cucumber the real estate along the line.
