FARM SCHOOL
 APPROPRIATIONS

Little Rock, April 18.-There is great divergence in the amounts that are being asked for to maintain the four agricultural schools. The senate passed the Turner bill appropriating S495,000 for the purpose, and when it was sent to the house, Davis of La fayette offered an amendment that each should have $50000, making a total of $200,000, and the bill and amendment were sent to the commit tee. Monday afternoon Mr. Willems for the committee on agriculture in- troduced a bill appropriating a total of $176,000 for the schools, divided as follows: Jonesboro, $43, ,45O; Mag nolia, $46,650; Monticello, 3,10O; Russellville, $42,800. The bill carries $18,000 for teachers calaries in each school.

in recent action taken by the school patrons of Choctaw, Damascus and
 Martinville, says the Clinton Demo- crat These are three large, special districts, and for some time, two of them at least, have maintained good schools. Choctaw is four miles square, Damascus is a liner and about three miles square, and Martinville about four by six miles. These three dis tries have employed w. E. Halbrook as supervisor, whi will devote his time equally among these schools.
 Choctaw has an excellent school spi- Tit and a full high school course; Da- mascus has a beautiful location and an unsual moral and religious envi- ronment, and Martinville has arrang- ed a farm for agricultural demonstra- tion and plans some domestic science attachments. A sufficient corps of teachers will be employed in each school who will work under the super vision of Mr. Halbrook. He will de- vote his time to teaching delinquents, directing plans, looking after com 1OfCS ana equipments, StlIiluldllllS Ill., terests, organizing plans and canvass ing.
 The principals will all canvass some but will be employed chiefly in their respective localities. The interest and enthusiasm at each place is at high pitch and the system will begin June 15 with almost unanimous sentiment of those so affected. One large cata- logue will be circulated for all the schools, and the teachers will hold meetings conducted by the alternately in those di stricts. The teachers will have reading course, program, and devote one period to the discussion of the situation locally and otherwise with the boards and patrons. Announce ments as to the entire faculty will be made soon.
 Mir. Halbrock is employed to con duet normal n Union county Tn June. after which he will actively en- fer his new field of work, scheme founded by himself in which he IS in- tensely interested.

RUSSELLVILLE NEEDS
 ANTI-PEDDLING LAW

As if the street fair with it's various red lemonade stands, curio stands and other nickel-catching devices, were not enough, a bunch with a bum singer and hummer stringed instrumentalists were on one corner Saturday after noon selling recipes for making soap bubbles or something of the kind, while on the opposite corner a sus- bender vendor held forth. From the number of this class of merchants who hold forth here we are inclined to the belief that Russellville is known among the profession as an easy mark and possessed of more than the av- craze percentage of people whom Bar mum said liked to be humbugged. The city may need the money derived from license, but we are in favor of follow ing the lead of Dardanelle and Con- way and either putting the license so high that it will be prohibitory, or abolishing these privileges altogether. -Russellville Courier Democrat.
