Swimming Pool
To Be Ready BY
Sunday or Monday

Washington will be in the swim
by Sunday or Monday, according to
those preparing the pool just north
Of town below-the springs. ,ss
Work on this pleasure pool was
started last week when a subscrip-
iion list was passed among the bust
ness men and others interested for
donations toward putting the pool
in condition for bathing. A number
of boys got busy at once with hoes
and spades cleaning up the place,
and this week r. w. Patterson came
TO their rescue with teams and slips
with the result that the pool has
been cleaned and deepened, and il
is reported water will be turned in
at once. II is estimated the pool will
be filled with water in two or three
days, and all that is necessary is
the donning of bathing suit.
This pool will add much TO the
pleasure of those who enjoy water
sports this summer. Heretofore the
only place to swim has been at the
pools in Hope or the river, and this
was quite handicap to the smaller
children who had no way to reach
these placese.

TOLL SYSTEM TO PAY COSTS
Structures viii Eliminate Both
Ferries-WiIl BE Free When

LITTLE ROCK, July 5.-Decision
to build two bridges across Red
river. one at Fulton and one at Gar
land City, was reached by the Ar
kansas State Highway commission
at its seccion here Friday. These
bridges will be built under the gen
eral toll bridge act.
Each Of these bridges also was au-
thorized by special act of the legis-
lature, the bridge at Fulton to cost
not more than s500,000 and the one
AT Garland City TO cost moi more
than 100000.
Construction of these two bridges
will eliminate ferry transportation
across the Red river on two of the
principal highways of the state. The
Fulton bridge will serve the Texar-
kana-Little Rock road and the Gar
land City bridge will serve traffic
between TeXarkana and southeast
ern Arkansas.
Both structures are to become
free bridges after sufficient tolls
have been collected to pay the cost
Of construction. which probably
will will be within 10 or ~ years.

u. s. Treasury
Surplus Fixed
At 664 Millions

WASHINGTON, July The gov
ernment rounded out the fiscal year
Thursday night with treasury sur
plus estimated at s635. 900, 900 to
5000 100000. the greatest in history.
Acting Secretary Mills expressed the
opinion. however, that The amount
was to an extent misleading be-
cause of homecoming items which
contributed To it.
lnaSmuch as congress, at the last
session, did not pass legislation TO
apply at least a part of the surplus
to further reduction of taxes. il is
being applied 10 decreasing the ma
tional debt.

ward that end will be taken when

The drafting of a new schedule of

In reviewing operations of the
treasury during the current fiscal
year, officials pointed out that
along with reduction of more than

several offerings of certificates and
bonds had been floated and approx
mately 81 ,S28,OO0,00O of second lib
erty loan bonds and considerable
amount of the third liberty loan had
been retired.
The sinking fund for 1928 amount
ing to s353,OOO,000, comes into op-
Grafton tomorrow and probably will
be used to further retire the second

The fund was created in 1920 for

COUNTY OFFICERS

Saturday and Sunday Found Net

ONE ARREST FOR FORGERY
Most Whisky Law Violators Are
Held in Jail For Action by
Grand Jury.

Further evidence that the prohi-
bi,ion law has not been repealed and
that no amendments have been made
to the statutes allowing the manu-
facture, sale, possession and trans
portation of liquor, especially in
Hampstead county, is shown by the
number of arrests made in violation
to these laws by the force of Sheriff
Dorsey McRae during the last week.
The sheriffS force has made sew
eral arrests recently of manufacture
ers of home brew, and it would
seem that this section of the law has
not been changed. Beginning the
latter part of last week, Deputy
Sheriff Porter and Constable Harris
arrested Arthur Watson and his
wife, Ethel, negroes, in the Redland
community on charges of possession
of home brew. They were given
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Billingsley, and Arthur was bound
over to the grand jury on charges of
manufacturing.

Blevins on charge of transporting
intoxicating liquor. Plumley also
was held on pistol carrying charge.

jail.
Talmadge Duke was arrested Sun
day by Deputy Honeycutt and Con-
stable Harris near McCaskill, on
charge of making and possessing in
toxicants. He also has a gun charge
against him.
Things over the county have been
comparatively quiet with the excep-
lion of arrests on whisky charges.
However, Jessie Murray, a negro
giving Pine Bluff as his home town,
was arrested in Hope Saturday on a
charge of forgery. He was given a
hearing and bound over to the grand
Jury. Murray is spending the sum
mer in the Hampstead county Jail,
a very unpopular summer resort, il
is said.
Hicks Hill of Hope was arrested
Sunday at Hope on charge of
arson.

is said to be in Alabama, was ar

charge of stealing an automobile.

n0ldlng tnat the pension fund must
be disbursed in the usual manner.
The attorney generals opinion
said that Act No. 17S which sought
to amend Act No. 20, the first pen
sien act passed, actually supplanted
the first act and left it without eff
feet. Act. No. 20 provided that pen
sions should be paid in monthly in
stallments, but Act No. 17S makes
no mention OF monthly payments,
but provides that the receipts from
the sale of notes shall be disbursed
lin the manner now provided by
law"
The old pension law provides that
pension warrants may not be issued
until September 1 of each year. The
attorney geenral said he interprets
the law TO mean that pensioners
shall be paid annually at any time
after September /.
Repeal of Act No. 20 by Act No.
178 does not affect Act No. 252. the
regular biennial appropriation act
under the old pension law, the opin-
ion said.
The effect of the ruling, unless
court action is brought to test the
statutes further, will be that Con
federate soldiers and their widows
who are on the pension warrants
based on the two-mill pension tax
soon after September !, and will re
ceive supplemental warrant to in

What the player should see for
himself is that the club head starts
straight back from the ball on the
line OF flight and stays as low as
possible until 1t is lifted by the
movement Of the arm and wrists.
IF you have difficulty In keeping the
club head low, scun the club along
the turf back Of the ball In the
start Of the backward swing. This
idea may be abandoned as soon as
one learns to keep the club head
low but it viii do no harm unless
there are bumps in the turf back of
the ball. And take this for granted
until you prove it in your own
swing. the back swing is the crucial
part. Get that correctly and many
Of your troubles are over. The for
ward swing will nearly take care OF
itself. And the key Of the whole
thing is to be certain the club head
goes straight back and at right
angles and as far as It will go
naturally.
