instances in the south, in the north, in
the east and in the west. 1t was sur
prising to find on the south Atlantic
coast a city which in the efficiency of
its board of health and in its main
tenance of generally healthy condi-
tions by adoption of the very best
modern methods stand about at the
top of all the places visited-while in
the same section of the country, not
far from this city, was another place
which although greatly favored by ma
ture, as far as what the city authori-
ties had done, stood near the bottom,
and the most unfortunate fact was that
the citizens had no conception of the
real situation. 1t was surprising to
find on the Mississippi river one city
n most excellent sanitary condition;
but a few hundred miles north another
city whose inhabitants would resent
any opinion that they are not among
the most Intelligent and progressive
and yet this latter place on account of
its absolutely inexcusable conditions
is down near the foot of the list
ut was found that as rule most of
the cities visited had fairly good sup
ply of city water The important ques-
tion in regard to the city water supply
lis not so much the character of the
water furnished by the city water
system but the extent to which the in
habitants use the city water and the
extent to which they make use OF some
other source of supply. The extent to
which city water is used varies prob
ably from 20 per cent to close to 100
per cent, and although it is impossible
to obtain exact figures, upon the whole
probably 20 per cent is high estimate
Of the average percentage Of inhabi-
tants using city water in cities of 50,.
900 inhabitants and over. The remain
ing 80 per cent or more obtained their
water supply elsewhere and mainly
from wells supplying surface water;
nearly all of which wells were sub
ject to contamination and many OF
which actually were contaminated.
Coming to the question of sewage
/ the percentage of population living in
houses connected with the sewer var
t led from 20 per cent to 95 per cent
with an average of probably less than
so per cent--although here also it was
difficult to obtain exact figures. Ii
two cities Zone of them one of the
largest cities in the country the board
of health had no authority to compe
residents to connect houses with the
lsewer on streets that were properly
severed and properly furnished witt
city water; but as rule the cities
had this authority but the extent tt
which this authority was used carried
greatly. In general it can be said i
is possible to find many cities in The
country that have spent millions o.
dollars for sewers and for extending
the city water system and yet from ;
quarter to more than half of the in
habitants live in houses that are no
connected with the sewer and in ;
great number of such cases the situa
ton is closet with no sewer con
nection and nearby well furnishing
surface water and constant DANCE
of contamination; and it cannot b.
said that there are entirely in the ney

OPINION IS RENDERED
Feed stuffs Are Taxable at Place of
 Sale, Says Attorney General.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock. - Assistant Attorney General Rector, in response to a re- quest from Clay Sloan, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul- ture has rendered an opinion that is regarded as of much importance in connection with the enforcement of the law passed by the last legislature requiring a tax to be paid upon cer- tain kinds of feed stuffs sold in Ar kansas.
 MT. Rector holds that manufactur- CTS and mixers of feed in Arkansas must affix the Arkansas tax tags upon all shipments sent outside the state, as he construes the law to mean that the tax must be paid at the place Of sale. He also holds that manufactur- CTS outside the state shipping feed to consumers in Arkansas for the per sonal use of the latter cannot be re. quired to pay the tax. If the feed shipped in from outside the state is sold here, however, the tax must be paid MT. Rector holds that to tax feed stuffs sold direct by manufactur- CTS outside Arkansas to consumers in this state would be construed by the courts as burden upon interstate commerce.

STATE EXHIBITING
 FROM ADVERTISING
Train "Arkans 4s on Wheels" Interests Farmers of
 Buckeye State.
AGENTS ARE INVESTIGATING
of Arkansas-Woud Lend Farmers Money.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Hot Springs.-As a direct result of the recent trip through the North of the Arkansas on Wheels" train, Ohio may send about 250 farmers next year to this state, as there was in this city two real estate agents who have been sent to Arkansas to inves- tigate the possibilities of the state.
 They stated that about 250 farmers in and around Newark, O., visited the Arkansas on Wheels" train and were especially interested in the exhibit of St. Francis county. MT. Norris says these farmers have saved up from $200 to $1,00O each, and that they are desirous of coming to Arkansas to live.
 "They were so interested that they have sent MT. Schauweker and my self down here to make a personal in- vestigation and report back to them.
 q have become so thoroughly con- vineed of the possibilities of Arkan- sas that those farmers who have not saved enough money to move down here can get all they want from me, for I am sure they can come here and, within very short time, make enough to return the loan to me-
 Mr Norris says that already a num- Der of farmers have moved into this state from Ohio, and all of them came as a result of their visit to the Ar, kansas on Wheels" train. He believes that before another year will have passed fully 800 families will have moved to Arkansas from
