A Close Call From Fire.

Platteville Witness, June 1: The
Witness Office had very close call from
a disastrous fire Monday afternoon.
AS one of our employees was preparing
to start our engine, a gasolene explosion
took place that threatened for few
minutes to clean out our engine room,
if not the whole works. Fortunately a
run of hose that was being used on the
M. Evans building was attached and
the boys working there brought it into
immediate commission and together
with our own hose, which is always
attached in our press room. the flames
were subdued with but little or no
damage.

NEW SCHOOL LAW
 NOW EFFECTIVE

The teacher who desires to .oocb in the public schools of Ar ,.ansas hereafter, barring the tou weeks intervening between .t;s and the third Saturday in 1une must get busy studying his agricultural primer, TOT the now law requiring elementary .cr,culture and horticulture to be taught in the common schools has now become effective, and the next examination questions for teachers will contain ques- tons covering agriculture and horticulture.
 The law was made effective" ten months after it's approval, which would make the effective date about April 1. By an over sight, however, that accompanies many statutes in which subse, ouent requirements are necessa- y to make the law really effect i've, nothing was said as to when the teachers were to qualify. Under the laws governing school teaching in Arkansas, no teach CT may instruct in a subject un- less having passed a satisfactory examination on same, and of course no certificate of qualitica- ton can be issued without an ex- animation At the time the law became effective the time had just passed for the last quarter y examinations of teachers, so that no examinations can now be held in the subject until the next regular examinations, June 16 F.

COTTON SEED
 MEAL AS FEED

Little Rock, April 16.-Recog- nizing the quality of Arkansas cotton seed meal, the govern ment has ordered from a local cotton seed mill, a large ship ment of meal which will be us ed to feed the mules working on the Panama canal
 After making a number of ex- periments, the government de- cided the cheapest food for ami mals is cotton seed meal, as it costs less, takes less to make a feed, and keeps the animals in better physical condition than ordinary feed. The government ordered 120,000 pounds of meal, and a large portion of this order has fallen to one of the Little Rock mills, which will ship five cars of the spring run to New Orleans for transmission to the 1 Canal Zone.
 Cotton seed meal is getting to look up in Arkansas since it be- came source for flour.

A Rebuke to Society

A singing rebuKe to society people who play bridge whist for prizes was administered by Dr.. Torry in his address at the tab ernacle last evening. The evan gelist placed the society gam bier on an equal plane with the professional card sharp, and de clared that both should be sup pressed as one practice was as detrimental as the other, and that the upper gambling circles should receive attention first.
 If l were mayor of Texark> ana,' exclaimed Dr. Torrey, II would stop gambling = but would begin in the homes of your high society. I would not begin in your gambling hells where wrecked men go. I would not begin in the depths of vice l would go to the homes of your wealthy citizens, where the craze of bridge-whist is as evil 6 form of gambling as you can finc in your lowest dives. es.-Texark anian.

Deputy Tax Collectors Albert McGough and Sam Hamilton are naturally very brave men. They are not easily frightened by the ordinary occurrences of their office. But there are times when they can be made to lose their nerve, as an incident this week very clearly proved. A letter addressed to the sheriff came. and the boys, under the instruct ions of Mr, Hood opened the let ter, and began it's contents. But 1t happened to be from a small pox patient in Albany township, and when this fact was discover ed, the letter was sent windward and it took considerable effort to find it again, although there was a tax enclosure for 1909. When the letter was finally recovered, it was thouroughly fumigated before the boys would consent to finish reading it.

Apparently one of the hardest ques tions for the farmers to an- swer under the census regula- tions is the amount of milk, but ter and eggs produced for the year 1909. This is an impor- tant matter with the census enumerators, and every farmer should have the answer ready when the census man calls. You must not ouly tell how much of these products you produced, but how much you sold. Anoth- CT thing that bothers some of them is the amount of chickens, on hand the day before the ques tion is asked. Have these ques tions ready to answer and you will save much time in taking your enumeration.
