CENTRAL COLLEGE NOTES.

The past week has been one full of interest. We have had talks at chapel by Dr. P. E. Burroughs of Nashville, Tenn, Dr. w. S. Wylie of Oklahoma, and C. S. Leavel of Little Rock. About 40 of the pupils have been taking the full work in Sunday school pedagogy and Bible study in the institute con- ducted by the Sunday school experts,
 Examinations have closed and the pupils have entered upon the second quarter with enthusiasm.
 The following visitors have been in the college the past week: Mrs. J. N. Rachels of Searcy, Mrs. H M. Earle of Benton, Mrs. H. w. Forte of Little Rock, Mrs. R. L. Little of Jud- sonia, Miss Stella Mae Barnette of Warren, Miss Helen Adams of Pine Bluff, Rev. Giles c. Taylor of Bates vile, Mir. and Mrs. w. H. Sledge of Helena, and Mrs. J. L. Corn of Hele- ma. They visited either daughters or friends.
 The friends of Central are looking forward with great deal of pleas ure to Miss Hamlton's evening with Dickens next Thursday, December '.
 From expressions of various mem- bers of our faculty, the Hendrix re- ception last evening was greatly er joyed.
 Thanksgiving at Central was very enjoyable day. The young ladies and teachers attended Thanksgiving ser vices at the church at o'clock in the morning, and many of them attended the lectures at 10 o'clock. A splendid Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyed, with some out of town friends present. The young ladies received callers in the afternoon.

INSTRUCTIONS TO FEED MEN


 Little Rock, Nov. 30.-Commission- CT of Agriculture John H. Page is to- day sending out to the manufacturers of feed who are disposing of their product, or a portion of their product, in Arkansas, some very pointed in- structions as to how their products must be labeled if they are to be sold in the state.
 The last legislature passed an act which requires the manufacturer to show all the ingredients of the feed offered for sale. This was for the purpose of forcing the manufacturer to show what adulteration he used. Many of the manufacturers have evaded this portion of the label, but Commissioner Page comes out strong, requiring them to call a spade a spade. Corn chops must be cracked shelled corn only" wheat bran must be "wheat bran only" and thus on through all the feeds offered for sale. If shucks and cobs are in the shops, it must be stated.

PEN IS MAKING
 MONEY FOR STATE
THE APPRAISERS REPORT
STATE FARM WILL SHOW NET PROFIT OF $50,00O FOR YEAR
 JUST CLOSED.

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-Although no department of the state was founded with the intention of making money, the penitentiary is rapidly increas- ing revenue producer for the state, as shown by the report of E. Dalton of Pocahontas and w. S. Atkins of Hope, the appraisers who have just complet- ed the work of appraising the peniten- tiary property. They placed the az gregate values at $6S2,802.71, which is an increase of $106,000 over the ap- prasement of two years ago.
 The appraisers value the state farm -7,S65 acres-at $310,OOO, and the penitentiary site at $100,000 The state electric plant is valued at $25,- 900 and the states mules at S20, ,425. The state farm was purchased about 10 years ago for $140,000, and inter- est amounting to about $25,000 was paid in addition to this.
 The crop on the farm this year will reach about $160,000, and the farm will show a net profit of about $50 ,000 for the year. The state has sold about 990 bales of cotton and about ! l 100 have been ginned to date. It is expected that the crop will reach at least 1,500 bales of long staple cot ton, which is the estimate of Capt. J | A. Pitcock. Other state officials place the estimate higher, and Secretary of State Hodges has wagered hat with the penitentiary official that the cror will reach at least 1,590 bales.
 In addition to the cotton, the state has made over 35,000 bushels of corr this year, besides a large quantity of peas. The state has lost upon only one thing planted, and that is short staple cotton, which has been founc to mature no earlier and produce nc better than the long staple variety Only about 50 acres was planted ir the short staple cotton, as an experi. ment.

 IS DISPUTED

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-The execu- tive board which has control of ath- letics of the schools of the state, has a rather complicated proposition in the awarding of the secondary cham pionships, which was contested for in football by the high schools of the state Fort Smith, Van Buren, Tex arkana and Pine Bluff claim the title, all having passed through the season without defeat at the hands of an Arkansas team. Fort Smith and Van Buren played a tie, Fort Smith is now demanding a play-off with Pine Bluff, but the board will probably or der Pine Bluff and TeXarkana to c6n- test for the honor, and Fort Smith and Van Buren to meet again, and then the winner of the two games probably meet in Little Rock to settle the dispute.

HODFES CITED 10
 APPEAR IN COURT
AND TELL WHAT HE KNOWS OF WHEREABOUTS OF SUPREME
 COURT REPORTS.

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-Secretary of State E. w. Hodges has been sum- moned to appear before the grand jury of Pulaski county Monday morn ing to tell what he knows about the disappearance of number of sets of reports of the Arkansas supreme court from the state library. These books were removed by young attor- ney of Little Rock, who had secured possession of key to the storage room in the old state house.
 Since book concern of St. Louis reported the purchase of five sets of the books, vigorous investigation has been conducted by Secretary Hodges, and three sets, all purchased from the young attorney, have been discovered, and returned, in Little Rock. Secretary Hodges now has a deputy from his office calling upon ev- cry concern in Little Rock which might have purchased set of the books, as he knows there are about 14 sets still missing, and believes they are in Little Rock.
 Secretary Hodges states he will give the grand jury the advantage of all information secured by his deputy and requests that the man who took the books be prosecuted.
