The Midway

The Central Maine Fair has without
doubt the largest and best midway
this year than ever before. Instead
of being directly in the rear of the
grand stand it occupies a space of its
own and really forms a carnival that
would afford sufficient amusement for
the pleasure seekers If there were nc
other attractions. But as it is most
people who go to the fair attend only
one day and try to take in all that is
going on in that time. To all APP
pearance yesterday the Dufour at
fractions were getting their share OF
the crowd.
The Notordrome is situated near
the Coliseum and is better than ever
this year. Thursto Apple, Harold
Summers and Miss Mickey Apple
perform stunts on the motorcycles
that make the audience gasp for
breath. Apple and Summers ride
around sitting sideways on the seat
and finally pass each other several
times. in their wild ride.
In the Temple of Modern Miricles
is the latest work of. mechanical
genius. The Riddles are entertained
here in a way that makes it extreme
~ difficult for the mothers to drag
them away. On n large stage are n
thousand wonders. Miniature people
performing their daily tasks. such as
foundry workers, lumbermen, washer
women, and people going to church.
There is a small train. windmill. n
bcatsman, athletes, fisherman, bridge
builders. people dancing, and a hun
dred others which the eve can not see
in a short time. It is a small fairy
land, all mechanical and run by one
motor.
Next is a smaller tent occupied by
Dellah. the snake tanner. Dozens of
the venomous reptiles are seen curl
ed about their master or slowly wig
Cling over the canvas. Dellah gives
a short talk on snakes which is edu-
cational and entertaining.
The Dufour sideshow is small
circus in itself and is equal and bet
ter than any other show of its kind
that has visited this city. Captain
Bonivita cody climbs into lion cage
and with a daring smile upon his
countenance. attacks a huge lion with
spear. The skill and quickness
which he has to his commands de-
serves praise. He also makes pets Of
two little five months old cubs. Zan-
gar, the mind reader will tell anyone
what he Is thinking about and also
give advise upon any question. Miss

hbition by taking 1900 volts Of cleo

States Opening State
 ment at Beginning

Prosecuting Attorney Steel stated the theory of the state in his opening statement, which was as nearly as poss sible a digest of those things which the state expects to be able to prove by the various witnesses. MT
 Steel stated that Hugh Throckmorton who at the time of his death was about 26 years of age, had come to this state from Texas in 1913 or 1914 and was associated with his brother. Fred. in the mercantile business at AshdoWn
 After his brother quit business at Ashdown Hugh later moved to Wilton and lived with his mother who owned farm near tha3 place. When this country entered the war he enlisted and was on the firing line in France he came home and clerked for a time for s. K. Waldrop. He married in 1920 or 1921. He afterwards work ed for a year or more in the Pipkin DruS Store in the same town. He had more lately been doing some repair work about home On the morning of N0- vember 23 he was asked by Euclyd Coor CT, young business man oa Wilton, to go with him up on Little River to look at some tie timber. Cooper had some men cutting ties up there. They decided to go on to the Owens place to get some whiskey. They reached the Owens place about 19 in the morning. Mrs. Owens was there and man named Scruggs, 3
 mechanic, who was employed in do- ing some work at mill at Cottonwood Shoals Owens and Uncle Jimmie Parham, an old man who stayed with Owens, had gone squirrel hunting on the other side of the river. Scruggs invited them to drink with him, which they did After some talk they went to the boat landing some 250 yards below the house and waited for Owens other side and joined them. When they latter had joined them they all went 1 te gether to the Pine Tree, where Ow- ems had two gallons stored. They all drank. It was now about the noon hour. Harry Lovewell and David Fay

 Among other recommendations made by the governor are:
 That female citizens be required |, pay poll tax.
 That the issuance of refunding cer' tificates by the state Land Office be discontinued.
 That fees for service by the state should be increased.
 That tax on insurance premiums and inherltances be raised, also the franchise tax rate.

GOVERNOR M'RkE
 ADDESSES TWO k0USEc
La,s pxS xSseat Stress Upon Educational MASEs of State-DiScusSes Tax
 Problems.

Little Rock; Jan. Ex-Governor Me- Rae delivered his second inaugural address to the joint. session of the Gen. eral Assembly at 10 o'clock today. The governor presented an able document making many important recommends tions for legislation He particularly stressed the educational program and taxation question. He declared that the state is confronting an education al crisis and that it is the duty of the state to remove as quickly as possible the handicaps of short terms, poor attendance and i'll adapted courses of study in the country districts.
 'We should swing the school door open to all our children alike, save all. waste none of them, in short we must have more and better schools. How are we to finance them?" he asks Can it be done under our property tax methodist" The governor con cludes that the taxation methods are closely related with the school prob lem and summarizes the situation as follows:
 '"The shockingly gross inequality of assessment in this state is admitted, both as between the different political subdivisions and as between private tax payers. On account of the di- verse conditions in our state some of the counties are in debt, some now, some want increased assessments for local improvements, some do not; some are endeavoring to get out of debt, some are not; it is impossible to equalize assessments throughout the state.
 "I recommend that you take the state property tax off; that the coun- ties be made the administrative units; that the township assessors be abol- ished and efficient County Boards of Equalization substituted. If this is done, equality in assessments between tax payers can be accomplished for local purposes. Each county can make it's own assessment and at such rate as is required to meet it's need without paying more than it's share for state purposes. Besides the property tax is unjust because the most of it falls upon the owner of tangible property, chiefly the land owner. This tax with the enormous road and drainage tax put upon real estate has produced dis content among the home owners and driving some people from their homes. Our tax laws should be so devised as to encourage, not retard home building. We are now -penallz- ing investments in homes.'
 The governor advocates the impos- ition of tax upon corporations and individuals who have large invest ments in intangible property or non- taxable securities, declaring that "those who prosper under our system of government and who have the pro- lection of our laws should be required to contribute to the support of tRe government and particularly to the

DoughbOvs to Quit
 Rhine immediately

Washington, Jan. 10.-American troops ordered home from the Rhine today with every indication that the administration purpose was to en- phasize it's disapproval of the French Ireparations program. They are ex- p cted to be back in tine Gnited States by February 5.
 Official explanation of the with drawal order, issued immediately aft CT morning conference between President Harding and Secretaries Hughes and Weeks was confined to | the statement that the president deemed it expedient. There were intimations which appeared author 1 itative, however, that France had been informed that perseverance, in her plans for forcible measures in Germany would result in Americas withdrawal from the Rhine. But no inkling was given as to when diplo- matic exchanges of such nature had been transmitted
 Ambassadors Of the allied coun- tries here, including the French and American ambassadors in Europe, were informed officially of the or der.
 A cable message from the war department to Major General Allen, commanding the American army of occupation. gave him preliminary instructions to prepare for with drawal while orders also were issued for the transport St. Mihiel to sail from New York Friday. She will pick up about forty officers and mroe than 1000 men comprising the American force on the Rhine, either at Hamburg or Bremen, as General Allen elects.
 Movement of the troops from ,Co- blenz, it was said, would begin just in time for them to embark directly from trains. The only American military uni+s left behind will be detachments to complete disposition of stores and property not brought home and those in charge of grave r gistration service.
 Detailed orders to General Allen went forward last night by mail Today's cable message was in the nature of preliminary advice upon which he can take immediate &C., tion. At the outset it said:
 '"The president has decided to re- turn to the United tSates immediately all troops of your comamnd, except graves registration service.
 The St. Mihiel making one trip only, will be dispatched from New York about January 12 to Bremen or Hamburg. Cable which you want
 After informing General Allen that detailed instructions had been mailed to him, the message said the St. Mihiel would first proceed to Savannah, Ga, then to Charleston, Is. C., and finally to New York. At each port units will disembark.
