The situation was distinctly un-
comfortable. She must warn Wells
of the impending visit Of state.
She found him in a more sunny
mood than usual. 1t was that bless
edly relaxed time of day when even
newspaper men sit back and contem-
plate the universe. pipe in mouth
and feet on desk.

looked at Barbara from between

a. wry smile. "She didn't like the

ashes from his pipe and letting his
feet down from the desk with a

Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Ezra
Hamilton swept in. She looked
around for some one who might be

sables through the little swinging
gate.
Barbara was not there to be i'm
pressed. She was out in the rest

cream into very grimy face.
When she left the restroom 1t was
with a velvet skin and peachy bloom
that would have given battle to the
presidents wife herself, if need had
been.
Mrs. Ezra Hamilton was standing
beside the city desk. talking volubly,
and using her ringed hands to en-
phasize each sentence.
Barbara assumed her best profess
sional manner-a manner demure
but firm. She marched straight up
to the enraged lady. ct am Bar

McDermott stood in the door be-
hind her. He was smiling his most
charming smile, the one with the
little whimsical curl at the corner of
his lips. Mrs. Hamilton was chat
tering to him as though he were a
long lost friend.
The last amenities performed, Mrs.
Hamilton again advanced upon the
city desk. Wells brought his feet
to the floor with heavy thud, and
rose to meet her.
"Oh, Mr.. Wells" said the lady, in
the voice like frozen cream, at was

1t had been heavy day. Barbara
was so tired that she let her clothes

and crawled into bed.
Eight hours lay ahead before the
turmoil would start again-eight
blissful hours Of Inconsistencies
But she liked to betired out when
She went to bed. 1t kept her from
lying awake to think about Bruce.
1t seemed only a moment later that
she was startled from sleep by the
long and violent ringing of the tele-
phone bell. She turned on the night
light by her bed and glanced at her
clock. 1t was two o'clock.
She seized kinona and ran to
the telephone.
Bob Jeffries' voice came over the
wire. Terribly sorry, Barbara, old
girl. But It's McDermott's orders.

"How dare you follow me7" she
cried. as there no privacy left the

"Those who seek public place often

Barbara, conscious-with that alb
surd schoolteacher mind OF hers
that there were too many 'p's' in

Her impudence surprised Wells,
but not more than 1t surprised Bar

Wells interposed. 1.-THE managing

Barbara was exceedingly uncom-

down the file of the Telegraph and
settled herself to reading 1t, in a
vain attempt to divert her mind
from the angry lady in McDermott's
office.

Mystery At Dry Ridge

Albertha, Feb. 1S.-There is quite a
mystery battling the folks down on
Dry Ridge. One day last week hole
was found dug in the ground where an
old house stood several years ago and
had been burned down. The hole was
about feet deep, feet wide and G
feet long when found. In day OF
two the hole was found to be filled up.
Then it was that several neighbors
decided to investigate the thing. They
shOyelcd the dirt out of the hole and
that was all there was in it. The per-
son or persons who first dug and filed
the hole never got caught at it and it
is believed that it was done after night
No one seems able to solve the mys-
terry, though several different conjec-
lures have been made.

AMENDMENTS ARE
DECLARED VALID

The special supreme court appointed
recently to rule upon the fate of the
three amendments voted upon at the
last election reached a decision Mon
day in their favor.
Heretofore, the initiative and re-
ferendum act, under which amend
ments to the constitution are submitted
to the people, has been considered to
hold that an amendment, to pass, must
receive u majority of all the votes cast
in the election and that merely ma
jority of the votes cast ON the subject
will not make it a law. The decision
reached by the court Monday, however,
holds that if more votes were east for
than against, the amendment is adopt
ed.
This decision makes valid Amend
ments No. 10, II and ~ which provide
for increasing the number of supreme
court judges, to authorize counties
and cities to issue refunding bonds, and
TO prohibit local legislation by the state
Legislature. In the election last year
each of the amendments received more
votes for than against but were con-
sidered lost because it was believed
that they must have n majority of the
total vote cast before they could pass.
Other amendments affected by this
decision are: The equal suffrage
amendment Of 1920, which received a
majority Of the votes cast upon it but
failed to carry a majority of the total
vote cast in the election. This law will
have no effect now as the federal suf-
frage law has been passed since. The
initiative and referendum amendment,
submitted in 1920, also becomes a law
under the new ruling. This amend
ment provides that eight per cent OF
the voters may initiate law, ten per
cent may institute a constitutional
amendment and six per cent may refer
any measure, with the additional pro
vision that these percentages must
come from at least 10 counties. This
amendment also provides that the gov
ernor's veto shall not affect an amend
ment accepted by the people, that coun
ties and cities may initiate and refer
local matters, and also that there shall
be no limit to the number of amend
ments submitted at any election.
Since Amendment No. ~, prohibiting
local legislation by the legislature, is
held to be valid, all local legislatiQE
passed by the present Legislature will
be invalid and lot of their work has
been wasted.

TOM CAMPBELL WILL BE

bring honor to a former Pocahontas
man, according to reliable information
from Little Rock.
The amendment provides for an in
crease i'm salary of supreme court
justices from the present salary OF
$4,000 a year to $500 year and
gives the legislature authority to ap-
point two new justices. The over
crowded condition of the supreme court
calendar has been taken up by the
legislature several times this session
and II is believed that the two justices
will be appointed without delay.

SCHOOLS TO RECEIVE
NEW APPORTIONMENT

For the first time in the history of
Arkansas a second apportionment OF
the state school funds during a schol-
astic year was authorized Monday by
the state Board of Education. The
fund of $S3O,0925O, which has accu-
mulated since the other appOrtionment
last September, will be distributed
among the 20 counties of the state.
Mondays apportiOnment will amount
to $125 for each pupil in the state.
The individual amount Of September's
distribution was $500, which brings
the total amount per capita to $5.15
for the school year of 1924-25.
OF the additional S1.25 per capita, 81
cents was received from the cigar and
cigarette tax. Sixty-two cents came
from the severance tax, state income
tax and other resources.
Randolph county, with a school
enumeration of 6,S4S pupils, will re-
ceive $500 as its share Of the appor-
tionment.
