DEALER CAN'T BE AGENT FOR
 RETAILER OF LIQUORS.
Wholesale Liquor House Printed Ad- Vertisement Naming Arkansas
 Man as Distributor.

The attorney generals department has handed down an important rul- ing affecting liquor advertising in prohibition territory, and in which it is emphatcally held that the retailer and wholesaler cannot have an under standing by which the latter pays for the liiquor advertisement, without vio- lating the act of the legislature of 1907 prohibiting liquor advertising in prohibition territory.
 The opinion was in response to a query from Prosecuting Attorney O. N. Graves of the Eighth judicial dis trict MT Graves stated that liquor advertisement was being run in the Daily TeXarkanian, a paper printed on the Arkansas side at TeXarkana, in what is now prohibition territory: that the advertisement was paid for by wholesale brewing establishment in another state, and that in the ad- vertisement was a line stating that a dealer at Fulton, Ark, was the dis tributer for the brewery's goods in that section of Arkansas. The ques- ' as 10 whether or not the dealer was violating the law by allowing his name to be used in the advertisement
 The attorney general holds that the dealer at Fulton violates the law if he allows his name to be used in connection with the advertisement, or if it is used with his knowledge in any way by the brewery company as his advertising agent. Further more, he violates the law even if he did not authorize his name to be mentioned in the advertisement. if he does not have it wit&drawn when informed of it's use. If the dealer at Fulton is the agent of the com pany. then the company itself is vi plating the law by running the ad- vertisement.

INVEST HEAVILY IN
 ARKANSAS LAND
CHICAGO FINANCIERS SPENDING
 LARGE SUMS IN ARKANSAS.
Good Land Is Being Bought at From $2 to $15 an Acre by the Synd-
 cate-WiIl Survey the Land.

Little Rock-One hundred thou- sand acres of land in Arkansas are being surveyed and detailed descrip- tions are being made for a number of Chicago capitalists, who are invest ing an average of $100,000 month in Arkansas, according to w. DeWoody Dickinson, of the firm of Dickinson & Watkins. One month recently, it is stated, $300.000 was invested by the syndicate.
 About 35,000 acres of the land be, ing investigated is located in Perry and Faulkner counties, 35,000 acres ln Yell county and 30,000 acres ln Jefferson county. The syndicate, it is said, seldom bothers with tracts of land less than 10000 acres.
 Much of this land is covered with timber and is several miles from any railroad. In some instances there are cut-over tracts, which are rough and in bad shape at present, but offer great opportunities for development. The land is being purchased for va rious prices, ranging from $2 to $15 an acre.
 There is every indication that out side people are realizing more and more the opportunities for profitable investment in Arkansas" said MT. Dickinson. These men are doing business in thorough, systematic manner, and are not taking any chances. They find out exactly what the land is, the amount and quality of timber on it, what per cent is under cultivation, what crops can be raised on it and other important things be- fore they invest penny. Whenever they find a large tract that suits them they immediately get busy and add it to their holdings
 It will not be many years, it is stated, until the counties in which the syndicate is operating will be traversed by railroads and many oth- CT improvements will be made Then these lands will materially increase in value and the owners will stand a good show to realize large profits from their investments, it is declared.

He said that he had introduced a bill in con gress prohibiting the government from licensing the sale of whiskey in dis tricts where whiskey had been voted out, and declared that if that bill becomes law the sale of whiskey by bootleggers will be stopped because illegal sellers would not take chances with the government.
 T am a candidate and am going to be elected declared Senator Davis "They say I am dead, but they will find out that I am the liveliest corpse they ever saw, and when the race opens up you can't see that crowd for the dust''
