 cure relief in the Road Tax situation. II oppose any movement to increase tthes taxes on the people. I oppose Amendment No. 14. Little River

CHAIRMAN RULES
 JIM FERGUSON OUT
MT. Tempkins Orders Candidate'e Name Stricken From Ballot; Not Bona Eide, He Says.

Little Rock, July 1S.-Unless man. damus proceedings are brought and sustained in Pulaski Chancery Cour this morning, Virgil c. Petite, secr,. tary of the State Democratic Central Committee, at noon today will certify out the ticket for the Democratic pri. mary without the name of Jim Fer. guson of Howard county, candidate for commissioner of mines, manufac. lures and agriculture. MT. Petite an nounced his decision after receiving instructions over long-distance from Judge w. V. Tompkins of Prescott chairman of the state committee. MT Tompkins announced the opinion tha, MT. Ferguson is not a bona fide can. didate.
 Mir. Ferguson was one of the last. minute candidates who filed pledges and paid fees Saturday night, June 8 the last day for filing. MT. Ferguson's pledges and the check for his fee on the ticket were in regular order, and he is said to have announced that he is actively in the campaign for re- election.
 Has Conducted Investigation.
 MT. Ferguson's late entry, the fact that he is opposing Jim G. Ferguson of almost identical name, who is seek ing reelection, and the fact that con siderable factionalism has sprang up among the candidates for state, office led MT. Tompkins to doubt the good faith of Jim Ferguson's candidacy. The Democratic chairman has been conducting a personal investigation for several days, checking over poli- tics and political matters in MT. Fer guson's home section, and although tics and political matters fin MT. Fer guson, Mr. Tompkins has said that he is convinced that bis entry into the campaign was not made in good faith. MT. Petite said that in obedience to his chiefs order he will certify the ticket out at noon today without Mir. Ferguson's name unless the courts should interfere.
 Political leaders last night said that should MT. Ferguson desire, he could bring mandamus proceedings in the ,Chancery Court tO cOmDel Mir Petite to place his name on the ticket. Hear ings would then be held at which it would be determined whether MT. Fer guson is a bona fide candidate, and entitled to a place On the ticket.

Could Drink a Biu Foa.

It takes big block of fog to make one good swallow of water, says Dr. w. J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau at Washington. The densest fog off Newfoundland banks contains some twenty thousand drop lets in cubic inch, Dr. Wells and Dr. Thuras of the bureau of standards found. To get one gulp of water, enough fog to, fill space 8 feet by 6 feet by 100 feet long would have to be condensed. In a fog of that sise there are 60 trillion particles of water, or three times as many particles as the number of, dollars spent by the United States during the world war. ] Tt would take about a half hour to count an inch of fog particles" says pr: Hurhphreys.s ~PMced side by gfde 2,500 to 5000 droplets would be needed e fill that length"

The Beaver.

A family that figures prominently in the annals of New York owes the origin of its great wealth to a hum- ble but industrious rodent, the beaver. The same rodent has conferred it's name upon a downtown street in that city. There survives the tradition of Beaver brook that once meandered fits picturesque way through what is now the downtown section.
 But the beaver himself is a van- ished species in this country. The beavers that inhabit the little ponds in the geological gardens are immi- grants from Canada.
 In these restricted areas, surround ed by high wire fences, these citizens by adoption are as busy as were their ancestors who once ranged along the streams that watered the woods. Chicago Journal.

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving memory of my
little daughter, Dorothy D. Neal who
dled one year ago, August 81, 1921.
IN the grave yard safely sleepins,
Where the flowers gently wave;
Lies one l loved SO dearly,
In her silent grave.
l often think Of you darling,
When I am all alone:
For memory is the only friend,
That grief can call it's own.
Days Of sadness still come over me,
Secret tears often flow,
But memory keeps you near mo,
Though you died one year ago.
sleep on darling and take your rest,
God called you home; He thought il
best.
lie saw your suffering here was grea,
And open wide the Golden gates.
Darling how hard tried to save Won.
Prayers and tears we're all in vain:
Happy angels came and took you
FROM this world Of care and pain.
I often think Of you dear Dorothy,
Whcn my heart is sad with pain;
This world would be a heaven,
Could l but hear your sweet voice
again.
Her devoted mother,
