STATEWIDE BILL
MUST Go TO VOTE
PETITIONS HELD REGULAR
SUPREME COURT ADJOURNS
FOR USUAL SUMNER
VACATION.

Little Rock, July 16.-The supreme
court adjourned today for the sum-
mer 1t would have adjourned Mon
day, but petition was filed for an
immediate mandate, also for a re-
hearing in the Pine Bluff bridge case.
This being a matter of great public
Importance N Jefferson county, the
court held over until tody to pass up
on it.
The supreme court decided that the
statewide prohibition bill must be
submitted to the people in September,
notwithstanding the executive COM
mttee of the Anti-Saloon League,
which had secured the necessary sig
natures, had announced that it
thought It unadvisable to proceed
with it. The court holds that it is
not necessary to file all the sheets
constituting the petition at one time,
but that they may be filed at differ
ent times, and the aggregate number
of names be taken, provided that the
same matter appear on all the sheets.
1t also decided that there is no con-
fiict with any proviso for local legis-
lation relative to local option. "If the
proposed law says the court, sis in
conflict with the proviso of the third
section of the enabling act, that pro-
viso must yield; for it proposes re-
strictions on proposed legislation not
found in the constitution. When the
enabling act is considered as whole,
it is manifest the legislature would
have passed it with that proviso left
out"

Changes in Egyptian Life.

Egyptians who have been educated
in this country or who have been here
on business trips or simply as part
of their education, are working zeal
ously in their native land to have
their wives adopt many American
sdeas and customs. In the last TWEEN
ty-fve years American influence has
been felt greatly in Egypt. Many
fathers in Egypt are educating their
daughters to read and write English,
ard have encouraged them to play in
many games just as English and
American girls do. Through that edu-
cation the social life Of Egypt is go
Ing through transition.

ASK FARMERS TO
GIVE EXPERIENCES
AGRICULTURAL REPORT
COMMISSIONER APPEALS FOR
FIRST-HAND INFORMATION
FOR HIS BULLETIN.

Little Rock, July 15.-"An appeal
for actual experiences" is made in
circular letter issued for publication
today by the state department of ag-
riculture. The letter, which is ad-
dressed to the farmers of Arkansas,
says:
There have been so many glowing
descriptions Of sublime sunsets and
sparkling riils painted in beautiful
words, and other enthusiastic out
bursts on Arkansas (for example,
The commonwealth that has been
considered the Ugly Duckling of the
union is proving to be the SWAMI,
that the hard-headed investor has
been at loss to know whether Ar
kansas is full of real estate boosters
Or good substantial private citizens.
To overcome in part this doubt in
the minds of the prospective citizen,
we propose to furnish him, through
our biennial report, with the 'names
and addresses" of as many Of our
successful citizens as is possible, who
are willing to say what they have
actually done, in stock-raising, in
cotton, fruit, truck, corn, oats, pota-
toes, vegetables, grasses, wheat, rye
and every other means by which the
farmer gains a sustenance in Arkan-
sas and how.
We propose to give each county an
impartial and full representation in
our report. In order to convince an
outsider of the superiority of any
county along a particular line, we
are Of the opinion that, if he could
see what other men have done along
certain line in that county, he
would most certainly give more Gre
dence to what we say about that
county, when citizen in that county
vouches for its adaptability to a GER
tain crop.
Your name and address, stating
what you have done, is what we
want. 1t will not take but little
Of your time and you will be doing a
great service to yourself and your
county. Write Hon. Clay Sloan,
Commissioner of Agriculture, short
statement of how much cotton, corn,
rice, oats, wheat, ETC., you have rails
ed on an acre and on what type of
soil; how you have succeeded in the
dairy business or any other agricul-
tural activity.
Every new citizen increases the
value Of your property. How much
more is the value increased when you
induce man to come into your midst
who is conservative enough to look
before he leaps? The would-be Ar
kansan who appreciates the reference
to what others have done and conse-
guently what he can do, is the man
who would make you desirable citi
zen.
Do you want good people to come
to your county to become citizens and
help to cultivate and build up your
idle land? Do you want men who
would make desirable citizens to come
among you and help develop your
natural resources? If so, let US hear
from you.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
In your article which referred to
the action of the council, l will state
that the records were not explicit or
plain enough. The account was for

misunderstanding as to a certain ac-
count, which was adjusted, and the

PROGRESS IN WEST:
NONE IN fAf EAST
FIELDS ARE IN THE GRASS
HEAVY RAINS DAMAGED COT
TON CROP EAST OF MIS-
SISSIPPI RIVER.

Memphis, July 15.-The CONNER
cial Appeals weekly summary Of cot
ton conditions issued today says:
Weather conditions west of the
Mississippi river were favorable to
the growing cotton crop during the
past week, and from good to splendid
progress was made in that locality.
East of the river the weather was
unfavorable, too much rain having
fallen, and the plant made little pro-
gress. What progress was made in
parts of this district was offset by
actual deterioration in other parts,
so that in the entire area east of the
river the crop might be said to have
stood still during the week.
"Of course, there is good cotton in
the eastern part of the belt, and this
cotton is making progress. But heavy
rains have damaged cotton in the
lowlands of all that territory. The
plant is in the weeds, generally
speaking, and is developing slend
er, sappy stalk. However, it is the
oopinion of most correspondents that
much, if not all, the damage done SO
far by the wet weather may be over
come by good growing and cultivat-
ing weather from now on. Hot wealth
er, with plenty Of sunshine, is neces-
sary for the proper advancement Of
the crop. Plant is fruiting fairly
well and many bolls reported.
"In the west the crop made pro-
gress that as whole was above nor
NAL. Warm weather, with plenty Of
sunshine, and with the ground well
supplied with moisture, proved to be
just what the crop most needed, and
a splendid growth was made. Some
parts are getting dry, and while a
rain would be beneficial, little dam
age will accrue from continuation
of the dry weather for another week,
at least. Cultivation is well advanc-
ed and fields are clean. The plant is
fruiting well and bolls are appearing
IN many districts, especially in
Texas.
complaints of boil weevil are
heard from infected territories, but
so far the damage from this source
has been inconsequential. Scattering
reports of other insect damage were
made, but they are hardly worthy of
consideration.
The condition in Arkansas is sum-
married as follows:
Warm, open weather made for
the improvement of both plant
growth and cultivat: on. Cultivation
was rushed, and, while some fields
are still in the grass, the work is GO
ing on rapidly and few more days
of open weather will suffice to clean
all fields. The plant made good
growth and blooms and fruit are re-
ported from practically all over the
state, although there is still COM
plant from some localities of small
cotton. A few reports of boil weevil,
but no destruction so far"

Turned the Tables.

A clever little job was put up on q
traveller one day this week. 1t would
have been real clever if the traveller
in question had not turned the tables
at the last moment and made the
bright ones pay for their own fun
The traveller was lunching with
some friends at the Gardner cafe. He
came in a little late and as he was
taking his place at the table saw some
one in another part Of the cafe with
whom he had a business engagement.
Being in a hurry he asked one of
crowd, another traveller, to order for
him while he was gone, knowing full
well they all knew what he generally
ordered for luncheon himself. The
three friends conceived the brilliant
idea OF giving him a square meal for
once in his life, so they ordered an
extra size, double portion steak. When
he returned and an immense platter
was put before him that literally COW
cred the whole table, they all INDUCED
in a good laugh at his expense.
At the end of the meal, the first
traveller asked the man who had writ
ten the order to please o. X. it for
him, on the pretext that he didn't have
enough change with him to pay for
the lunch that had been ordered for
him by his friends. The man who
wrote the big order as a joke, bit
beautifully. He even hunted up the
order check and brought it over from
a side table where it reposed by the
finger bowl that was waiting to be
served. Then he signed the check HIM
self n turned it in to the cashier,
paying for the fine steak he had or
dered for the other traveller. All the
others at the table had a good laugh
at the way the tables were turned, but
the man who signed the check, realiz-
ing what he had done. hustled away
from the hotel without any comments.
Later in the day 1t is reported that
someone called him by phone and told
him there was a man in town trying
to sell gold bricks and wanted to know
II he was interested, 1t is said the
man who signed the check slammed
up the receiver with an abrupt bang.

offenses Of Outdoor eirI.

The out of door girl is rather a
frequent offender against both ETH
quette and manners. When going out
or staying away with friends the ath-
letic young woman sometimes revels
in the severity of her taste in clothes.
She goes to garden parties in a coat
and skirt with a stiff collar and a.
stitched hat, or. if she condescends to
wear a fairly frivolous hat, she does
not alter her couture to suit it, but
bangs it on with a virtuous air, and
leaves it perched on her head like a
frightened bird on the wrong nest.
This is all very superior, but it is
also very rude.
1t had come to be looked upon as a
compliment to make a toilet" when
asked out. Thus when one comes to
a garden party, the fluffy lightness of
ones dress should convey to the host
ess: How nice and frivolous and n
joyable this isl" while the very obvi-
Jus Interpretation of the tailor made
Is, 'This isn't a bit in my line, and it's
a beastly bore. Still l. had to come;
but, anyhow, / came just as I was"
In evening dress the athletic girl is
usually at a disadvantage. she sits
badly, and stands with her feet too far
apart. Her face and neck are wealth
e~rbrowned, and her nose reveals plain
ly that she would sooner have it peel
than cares it with cold cream.
Yet the open air girl ought to be
specially careful, because she belongs
to a type which has a certain amount
of hospitality to meet. The hostility
began when the athletic girl was new
to English society and made a great
pose of her masculinity, and even now
it has not entirely died down.
