 Commissioner Sloan also makes rad ical recommendat ons regarding the feed and fertilizer inspection laws, use of inspection tags, etc, and urges that the funds received from the sale of feed inspection and fertilizer in- speetion tags be combined.
 His chief recommendation along this line, however, is that the tags, which cost the manufacturer or mer- chant 9 cents per hundred pounds of feed or fertilizer inspected and tag ged, be issued by the state auditor and the money for the tags be paid to the state treasurer.
 His report praises unqualifiedly the splendid resources of the state, the opportunities offered to the energetic investor and especially to the young men. He also praises the efficient work of the deputy in his office, Rob- ert NJ. Hut chins, and assistant.

CLAY SLOAN MAKES BIENNIAL REPORT Agricultural Commissioner Rec OmmendS Several Radical
 Changes.
URGES PERMANENT EXHIBIT
Would Have Bureau of Statistics Or. ganized for Purpose of Compiling
 Reliable Information.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Roek-That the state of Ar kansas should establish in the new state capitol a hall devoted to the ex- ploitation of the state as whole and particularly of the counties individu- ally, is the recommendation of Com missioner of Agriculture Sloan, in his biennial report just filed with Gov. Donaghey.
 The report is very extensive. cover ing many recommendations and set ting out obvious reasons for radical changes in many regulations govern ing the state agricultural department.
 In regard to the formation of the state exhibit hall. Commissioner Sloan recommends that this be established on the first floor of the new capitol. and that each county be given a space by 10 feet in area in floor space. and an equal amount in wall space. AS a central feature of the floor space. he recommends the erection of a map of the county, showing it's topog- raphy, nature of lands, etc, together with it's crops, mineral resources, etc. This is to be supplemented with ac- tual exhibits of the resources, arrang- ed in the remaining individual space and on the walls.
 The average visitor never sees our state fairs or county fairs, says MT Sloan. and this permanent exhibit would give him an idea of the attrac- tiveness of the state, what 1t has to offer and would unquestionably be the most effective method of advertising Arkansas.
 In addition to this, MT. Sloan recom- mends that the state establish a bu- reau of statistics. gathering actual data showing what the state produces, acreage, production, etc. so that when the visitor or inquirer from other states asks for specific informa ion the state can furnish it. He recom- mends that the county assessor be re- auired by law to list this data from farmers, the same as they list his property, and make official report, for which they are to be paid accord ingly
 This, or some similar plan" says Mir. Sloan. ''is the only method by which we can solve the question of securing accurate and effective data. without which the state will always labor under a handicap"
 He recommends further that the state be divided into dis ricts and the Texas cattle tick be entirely elminat- ed, placing the whole state above the quarantine line. The cattle in Arkan. sas, below the quarantine line now. says Mir. Sloan, if forced on the mar. ket. would sell fer s20ao 0oo less than If ihey were north of the line
 With this g. 900 900" said he. we could kill all the fever ticks and raieo some eonsternation among tho chig gers For one-tenth thie amount VIC can put the entire state abo.e nuar anime, and add millions to tho value of Arkansas cat le" He recommend tax of cents pe~ D ad on c9t4l for this purpose.

 The wound was superficial one" said Dr. Stratton. The bullet is i'm bedded in the muscular tissues All that We did at the hospital was to put on an antlseptic dressing.

 Alter questioning the assassin gave hls name as John Schrank, of 370 East Tenth street. New York. From notes found in the prisoners clothes it IS evident he is demented on the sub lect of Colonel Roosevelt running for third term.
