State Capital Notes
Tells of Visit to Farm Schools.


 State Superintendent of Public In struction George B. Cook returned Thursday from his Eastern trip and is very much gratifed with it's results State Superintendent Cook left Little Rock September s, accompanied by George W. Donaghey, governor-elect; J. N. Tillman, president of the Arkan- sas University, and Dr. Wallace Butt rick, secretary of the General Board of Education of New York. The mission of the party was to visit the principal agricultural colleges of the country, with the view of securing information that would assist them in promoting the establishment of similar institu- tions in Arkansas. They visited the State University of Wisconsin at Madison, and State Agricultural High School near St. Paul, Minn., the Agri- cultural High School and Stout In ductrial Training School at Menomi- nee, Wis, and the Agricultural De- partment of the Chicago University. After the arrival at Chicago, PreSi- dent Tillman returned to Fayetteville, Mr. Donaghey remained in Chicago to attend the Lake-to-the-Gulf Deep Wa ter Conventions and Superintendent Cock and Dr. Buttrick continued their journey East, where they were the guests of the Southern Education Board during their visit to Ney York, Boston and Albany from October F to IT.
 Speaking of his visits to the agri- cuatural schools, Superintendent Cook said that one of the best inspected was the one operated by the Uniyer- sity of Wisconsin,
 "There are 4,500 students attending this institution" he said, which has been the greatest of all factors for producing wealth in that state. Wis cOnsin is now producing annually S15,- 1000 more corn, without increasing the acreage, than before the estab- lishment of this institution, all of which is due to it's practical teachings and demonstrations. It has raised the standard of all kinds of live stock and added $10,000,000 to the produc- tive energies of the dairymen of the state. It has also stamped out of Wisconsin tuberculosis. not a single case being reported among live stock this year.
 ''The State Agricultural High School near St. Paul." siad Prof. Cook, lis one of the greatest of the kind in the United States It is attended by 700 farmers boys and girls who are trained for home builders on the farm.
 Another great institution is the Stout Industrial Training School at Menominee, Wis, heavily endowed by Mir. Stout, of the Stout Lumber Com pany of Pine Bluff, Ark. This school has no superior anywhere. Ninety per cent of those who attend the Stout school become so much attached to agricultural pursuits that they return to the farm, where they become eff cient wealth producers. All the agri- cultural schools we visited were a credit and an honor to the state in which they are established The sys- tenn of agricultural training in all has been developed to the highest point of efficiency. + will be a great day for Arkansas when we can establish such institutions in this state"

Hard Times in This Office.

Because of the exhaustion of the the telephone in the secretary of states office will be taken out Novem- Der 1. The stamp fund for the same office was recently exhausted, but as the department could not be success fully maintained without the use of postage stamps Secretary of State Ludwig is paying for what is used in the office out of his own pocket. For a time he purchased the stamps for his department out of his contingent fund, but all of this fund is now gone.
 The depletion of the stamp fund is due to the increase in the use of stamps caused by acts of the legisla- ture which require double the amount of correspondence done by the depart ment. The Wingo act and the Combs ters to the various corporations throughout the United States and other countries.
 The secretary cannot use any other fund for the purchase of postage stamps on account of the act passed by the recent legislature which de- clares that mo officer, member of any board or any other state official, who shall be empowered to expend any money appropriated for any state in- stitution or department, shall author ize or consent to the expenditure of a sum greater than the amount spe. pose" The penalty for the violation officially appropriated for that par- of this act, on conviction, is a fine not exceeding 1000 and imprisonment in the county jail for term not exceed ing one year.

Dissent in skaee Decision.

Justices McColloch and Hart Thurs day completed the preparation of their dissenting opinion in the Elijah s,kaggs case. Two points in the case are dealt with by the justices-the weight of evidence and the instruc- tions of the trial judge. They hold that Irene Taylor's testimony proved nothing, as it was contradictory and that the instructions of the trial judge were such as could not but tend to influence the jury, and that the in- structions invaded the right of the jury to weigh the evidence submitted

HOOK WAITING FOR
MINOR LEAGUE PHENOMS
BY G. A.

, Giants to take their first turn at bat,
McGraw decided to play the ex-New-
arker,
Devlin did not get in a hit that day,
but he scored a winner from third on
a long fly to centre field, and fielded
his faultless style, though he was the
target of many sizzling liners.
Brooklyn was beaten in that opening
game, s to 1. McGraw was so well
pleased with his pupils showing that
he played him regularly after that,
using Bresnahan in the outfleld and
behind the bat.
Devlin was the sensation of the Ma
tional League that year. and today he
has no superior among the third base
men.
That was one instance of a minor
league graduate making good from
the start. But the game produces few
Devlins, Cobbs or Stones. and that's
why most of the youngsters now in
training with the big league clubs will
be shipped back to the minor ranks.
Still. eve a months training with a
National or American League team is
beneficial to a player. The fact that

Manager George T. Stallings, how

service in the big leagues are not ac-
ceptable to him. Two weeks ago Stall
ings passed up Outfelder Sandow

declared that he had had a chance to
get Intielder Joe Yeager, formerly OF
the New York Americans, but gave his

IF l say that the men I'm after are

have an idea as to the kind of timber
l intend to use in building up the New
ark team he said to me.
They must be gems of the first water
that Stallings is after, if he can afforo
to let a player of Yeager's calibre sill
