A ? FOR THE JURY Between 10c and $50,000.< 0 If a workman while at work in a factory demanding keen vision of every employee, lost his eye sight owing to an accident and sued his employer for $50,000 damages and the defense intro duced sworn proof that the plaintiff had always fitted himself witn glasses at a 10c store, which could not prove, for his efficiency, what proportion of the amount sued would the jury award? The above question is for the purpose of bringing out more clearly that one of the serious drawbacks to greater Conservation of Human Vision is the Wearing of 10c Glasses. With Optometry Laws for Eye Safety now requiring those who examine eyes for glasses to have four years’ high school ed ucation and two years' instruction in Special Optical Science and then successfully pass a State Board Examination to show proof of proficiency, how can the untrained intelligently fit them selves to a pair of glasses? - Some day even those who go to a 10c store for a dishpan will point the finger of ridicule at anyone who fits himself to 10c Glasses. In the meanwhile how soon will public sentiment cause o and lfic store owners to display signs in their windows that read: “No 10c Glasses Sold Here. If you wear 10c Glasses, think it over. J. J. LIVINGSTON Jeweler and Optometrist DEMONSIRATiO l fllNOjS VOTED: QUORUM COURT MEETS APPROPRIATIONS ALSO MADE FOR CANNING AGENT AND TICK ERADICATION. From Wednesday a Daily. With but one dissenting vote, that of Justice of the Peace P. F. Johnson of Mathews township, an appropria tion for farm demonstration work, which was overwhelmingly defeated one year ago, was made by the Faulk ner county quorum court this after noon. Twelve hundred dollars was voted for this purpose. The court al so appropriated $600 for a canning club agent and levied a tax of five cents per head on all cattle in the countv for tick eradication work. Numerous talks were made at the afternoon session of the court, when the appropriations were made. After reconvening. Justice J. F. Raney made a motion to reconsider the vote by which the court refused to levy the tick eradication tax, 18 to 14, at the morning session, and tiie ?evy was unanimously adopted. Mr. Raney de clared that the tax levied by the leg jslature and could not be defeated anyway, and that he desired to see the work given a trial in this county. Prof. J. L. Bond of the state de partment of education, at the request of State Agent C. W. Watson of the farm demonstration work, presented the matter of an appropriation for this purpose to the court. He showed the wonderfully increased yields of corn, cotton and other products under the government methods and outlined the work of the government agents and the support the government was giving the work. County Agent J. L. j Phillips, for whose salary Conway merchants made subscriptions last year, submitted an annual report cov ering the work of the late J. W. Par lier, who died June 22, and of him self since that time. Mrs. Anna Pitt man and Mrs. J. P. Collier urged the need of an appropriation for a can ning club agent, and pointed to speci mens of canning which had been done by Faulkner county girls under the direction of Miss Myrtle Smith. Miss Smith submitted her annual report, showing a surprisingly large amount of work and interest in the county. Among the justices of the peace who spoke in favor of an appropria tion for both purposes, were J. F. i Raney, L. B. Atkeison, G. M. Easter wood, F. J. Snow, J. W. Hancock and J. R. Blessing. Some of them declar ed that they had undergone a change j of mind concerning this work. It was not of much benefit, some of them stated, to the older farmers, but the boys and girls of the county were making wonderful advances by rea son of it. W. R. McHenry urged the need of two demonstrators instead of one. The vote finally came up on the question as to the amount of the ap propriation, and by a close vote, $1, 200 for the demonstrator and $600 for the canning club agent was decided upon, instead of $1,000 for the dem onstrator and $800 for the canning agent. The court also appropriated in ad dition to the usual funds $100 lor the health expenses, being explained that the amount needed could not be ascertained, but any necessary amount could be drawn from a nom inal appropriation. On motion- of Justice Raney an appropriation of $350 out of the general road fund was made to pay traveling expenses of the county judge as road commissioner, who agreed to visit every township at least two or three times a year and direct the road work. One hundred dollars was appropriated to pay a re ward subscribed conditionally for the county for the capture of Lee Blount, slayer of Deputy Sheriff O. L. Honea. The following other appropriations were made: Circuit court, $6,430; county court, $1,000; probate court, $450; magistrate’s court, $500; pris oners in jail, $800; tax and assess ment books, $1,500; roads and bridges, $1,500; keeping paupers, $700; fuel, lights and stationery, $100; other legal expenses, $1,100. All business except the appropria tions was completed at the morning session of the court. Thirty-four jus tices of the peace were in attendance. Accompanied by Prof. R. E. Womack, the history classes of the State Nor mal and a numl>er of other visitors were present at the meeting. The first order of business was the annual report of County Judge J. W. Holt, who presided over the court, and made his report orally. Judge Holt said that limited finances had prevent ed many needed public improvements, but that two good bridges had been built and several others repaired. ♦ i* o < ► o o o o o < ► o o o o o Fall Millinery Now is the time to buy your fall hats, while our stock is complete.

H OSS West side of Public Square. Conway, Arkansas Better progress, he stated, had been made in road improvement than for several years and the roads were now in reasonably good condition. Two very expensive terms of circuit court, including two special sessions, he stated, was largely responsible for an increase in the county indebtedness. County Clerk J. A. Lea read a lengthy detailed report of the finances of the county and its road and school districts. According to his report, the appropriation of 117,126.46 made a a year ago had been overdrawn $5, 109.52, the total allowances being $22,229.98. The allowances on the va rious county' funds during the year were as follows: Circuit court, $8, 098.57; county court, $14216.35; pro bat® court, $115.66; magistrate court, $865.65; keeping prisoners in jail, $1, 074.86; keeping paupers, $587.20; roads and bridges, $5,285.40; other le gal expenses, $2,743.35; bloodhounds, $570; county physician, $150; farm demonstration, $507.95. The reports of County Treasurer J. R. Giddens and Sheriff W. W. Bishop were on motion received without read ing. The court then took up the levy* of the taxes. The state taxes as certi fied bv Auditor M. F. Dickinson were levied unanimously, as follows: State general, 2 1-4 mills; state school, 3 mills; state pension, 2 mills; state capitol, 1-8 mill. The county general tax of 5 mills and the county road tax of 3 mills were also levied without a dissenting vote, as was the city tax i of 5 mills for the city of Conway and , 5 mills for Fencing District No. 2. Considerable discussion resulted1 from a special request that Damascus school district be permitted to levy an extra 5-mill tax for budding purposes, in addition to the maximum levy of 7 mills. District No. 27 had also lev ied 8 mills, but the court decided that it was without power to levy any tax in excess of 7 mills, and this amount was levied in the two districts named, with all other district school tax as voted in the May elections.
