Governor Donaghey has ap- pointed the first State Board of Education for Arkansas, as follows: Hon. C. L. O'Daniel of Marianna; Hon. Jno. P. Lee of Clarendon; Prof. J. H. Reynolds of Fayette- vile; Prof. J. w. Kuykendall of Fort Smith; Prof. B. w. Torreyson of Little Rock; Rev. F. Hutchin- son of Hot Springs; Hon. D. A. Bradham of Warren.
 State Superintendent Geo. B. Cook, ex-oficio chairman of the Board, has called the first meeting for organization at Little Rock today.
 This Board, created by an act of the last Legislature, will have gen. eral administrative control of the public school system, and will con stitute a continuous body, one member only changing each year, which IS calculated to carry out progressive policies for developing the public schools.
 The Board will formulate cours- es of study, direct the certifcation of teachers, grant statewide H. censes - State, Professional and First Grade-recognize degrees of colleges both within and without the state. The State Board will al- so make the annual apportionment of the common school fund, and is- sue charters to colleges.
 One of the most important and immediate duties of the Board will be to make operative the recent act, apportioning $50,000 annually to be used for State aid to high schools, and to designate which schools shall receive this aid.
 Superintendent Cook states that as soon as the Board has formulat- ed its plans, the widest publicity will be given, explaining fully all conditions, so that every district in the State will have equal op- portunity to apply for State aid.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD

Reports from all parts of Arkan- sas continue to bring assurances that the 1911 cotton crop will be one of the best ever raised in the state. In nearly every locality, good rains have fallen, and in al- most all sections 1t is stated that a bumper crop is assured.
 Corn has suffered considerably from the drouth in the early part of the summer. However, recent rains have done much good, and late corn especially promises an abundant yield.
 In the northwestern part of the state, 1t is said that the drouth damaged the apple crop consider ably and the crop will be short.
 Wheat is being harvested in some sections and the crop is re- ported fairly good.

COUNTY TAXES ARE IN
Collector w. K. SheIpman Files Annual Report and Turns
 Cash Into Treasury

Tax Collector w. R. Shelpman has finished the collection of taxes for the past year and on last Mon day filed his annual report with the County Court.
 The total amount of State and County taxes charged against the collector for the year 1910 is $133,470.14. The collections made by him are considerably short of that amount, but the collections are considered good, under the circumstances, owing to the fact that the collector who was elected by the people failed to make bond and MT. Shelpman was appointed and got a late start under very unfayorable conditions. An effort will be made to collect the out standing amount and a number of deputies will be put to work col lecting the delinquent taxes.
 After deducting his commits sions, the following net amounts were turned into the county treasury to the credit of the va rious funds:

OKLAHOMA IS HARD HIT Former Independence County Git iZen Tells of Serious Situa-
 ton in Sister State

Editor Journal al.-Believing that the people of Newark and com munity enjoy an occasional bit of news from various parts of the country, 1 will endeavor to give them short sketch from south west Oklahoma.
 At the present time things here present dark view. Crops, sure enough for once, are a total fail ure Not only locally, but over the greater part of the state, attribut- able to the long continued dry spell and the excessive hot wealth CT.
 In the first place it was so dry during the winter and spring that wheat was very short, running from six to twelve bushels per acre. Then the oats made a com plete failure for lack of rain at the proper time. AS the drouth con tinued, corn went to the bad; and unless it rains in very few days there won't be tenth part of a cotton crop made, and but little feedstuff raised.
 Then to cap the whole thing off, here in Tillman and Comanche counties, on the evening of June the 24th. destructive wind and hail storm swept through our country, covering a territory from seven to ten miles wide, and sixty miles long, laying waste every ves- tage of crops, and destroying some thing near one hundred homes, be- sides blowing away numbers of barns and other buildings, killing lots of livestock and poultry. h. fact the storm-swept district was left in such destitute condition that call had to be made for as- sistance for the people.
 Fortunately no lives were lost and but few were slightly hurt.
 With outside help largely con- tributed by cities, and fraternal or ders, we will manage to live through the trying time and hope for the better in the future.
 In closing 1 want to say to my friends, that while l have been away better that three years with out a single visit back to the old homestead, l have in no-wise for gotten the good people there; and 1 am only awaiting an opportunity to again visit the scenes of my boyhood days in old Independence county.
 With best wishes to The Journal and its readers, 1 remain, very re- spectfully. ALLIE D. ENGLES.

DISCRETION OF

Especial to the Farmer.)

Hartford. March 9--In the contro-
versy before the Excise committee
yesterday at hearing on the bill of
Rev. Mr.. Mossman and others Of New
Haven. seeking to take from judges
discretionary power in the granting
of certificate for the continuance of
licenses Of convicted saloon keepers.
an interesting phase developed be-
tween Attorney j. B. Klein of Bridge
port. and Few. Mr.. Mossman.
The clergyman argued for the re-
scinding of such discretionary power,
and said that except where the viola
ton was technical the courts should
not grant such certificates There
upon Mr. Klein asked the clergyman
to tell the committee just what he
meant by a technical violation. The
clergyman was staggered for the mo-
ment. then ventured that it was hard
to define the term. Attorney Klein
said that such a measure. if it's weight
were to rest upon the restriction inn
piled in the term "technicalities'
would interfere with the discretion Of
the court. and would really trespass
upon the prerogatives Of the judiciary
in the Interpretation of the law.
Rev Mr. Mossman insisted how
ever and declared that experience he's
shown that judges are wont to be
very favorably disposed towards the
saloon interests.
Klein retorted that the proper pro-
cedure in that event is to impeach
the judges and asked the clergyman
to name an instance. He mentioned
the name of Judge Tyner of New
Haven in connection with the discus
