MAYOR DUNCAN WANTS
ORDERLY CHRISTMAS

| want to urge all to make it an es,
pecial point to see that the celebra-
tion of Christmas holidays is, as far
as possible, safe, sane, sensible and
sober. Drunkenness, debauchery, need
less noises and disturbances of the
peace and all other infractions of the
law are prohibited and | enjoin upon
everyone to see that all violaters of
the law are brought before me and |
will do my part for law and order.
In this connection | want TO state that
the sale or giving away of liquor in
Faulkner county is prohibited and it
is the duty of every good citizen TO
see that bootleggers are driven ont.
The business of blind tiger is debas-
ing and demoralizing and the man
who follows it is an enemy to decency,
right and justice. 1t is also a viola
tion of the law to give or sell TO mi
nors cigarettes, cigarette papers or
tobacco and this is fine time to call
II halt TO these practices.

IQUAILS DESTROY
BOIL WEFv|LS

Little Rock, Dec. 12-E. A. Nell
heny of Avery Island, Ia, is spending
few days in the state in the inter
est of game protection legislation.
Mr.. Mcllheny calls attention to the
following interesting observations by
Col. W. Calvin Wells of Jackson.
Miss, very prominent lawyer and
planter:
About six years ago | saw the
weevil was going to get into this
country. The government bulletins
issued then stated that the quail or
partridge was very destructive to boil
weevlls, so | thought | would see if
there was any help to be had from
the birds. | posted my place and kept
the hunters off absolutely.
There were some birds on the
plantation then, and they have in
creased wonderfully While other
places in the same neghborhood have
failed to make crops, | have not fail
ed TO make fairly good crop every
year. have averaged five bales to
the mule this year, and | attribute
it to the help the cartridges have Civ
en- me in fighting the boil weevils.
Nor is this all the confirmation
have. A friend of mine who is en-
tirely reliable was passing through
Copiah county not long ago, riding.
He saw covy of quail jumping up
on the cotton stalks, catching some
thing. He took his gun and killed one
of the birds and found more than a
dozen boil weevils in its craw."

PRES. DOYNE ATTENDS
HEALTH BOARD meet

President j. J. Doyne is in Little
Rock today by invitation of DR.. Nor.
gan Smith, president of the stat,
board of health, to attend a meeting
of that body. The purpose of the
meeting is to consider the preparation
of a suitable bill to present to the
coming legislature, looking to the bet
ter safeguarding of the health inter.
ests of the state. Other states have
ample laws for the protection of the
health of its citizens, but Arkansas
has been slow in matters of this kind
The Importance of the subject can
readily be seen and the necessity for
such law is evident.
