 Little Rock.-The Department of Public Instruction of the State of AT. kansas has designated Friday, Decem. Der ,, as the time to observe "agri- cultural and rural life day This day is observed in several states and it is intended to make it an annual affair in Arkansas.
 It's inauguration is the result of cor respondence with Dr. P. P. ClaXton, commissioner of education in the Uni, ted States Department of the Interior, who originated the idea.
 Our school children should be giv- en opportunity to consider the signifi- canoe of agriculture and of rura3 life, " said Superintendent Cook, 'and the worthiness of tilling the soil and glory of the simple and the sane life of the open country. Many states have set aside a date for this purpose and sure ly there is no state in which rural life and all divisions of husbandry form a more potent factor in prosperity thaI they do in Arkansas.

 Mexico City.-What doubt remained regarding Huerta's intentions with re spect to compliance with the Ameri- can demands for his elination was re- moved from the minds of most Mexi- cans and foreign residents by his peremptory dismissal of Manuel Ger "a Aldape, minister of the interior who was looked upMl as the head of Huerta's cabinet.
 Manuel Garza Aldape led that group of the cabinet which held the convic- tion that it would be best to accede to that portion at least of Washing tons demands which meant the total abandonment of power by the provis- mal president, and he is said to have been the only one with sufficient courage to discuss the international situation frankly with his chief
 Organization of President Huertas new congress was completed when enough senators were gathered to form a quorum in the upper house. Geaeral Francisco Pronces was chosen temporary chairman of the Senate and a Committee on Credentials was ap- pointed.
 President Huerta talked informally to the members of his staff and a few personal friends regarding the possi- bilities of intervention by the United States He intimated that he will be ready to resist such a step
 The opinion is expressed in various circles here that the United States will soon inaugurate a blockade of Mexican ports. Rumor has it that President Wilson would be content with such an action and might even permit the embassy to remain in MeXi- co City until an open rupture occur red.

INTEREST CENTERs
 ON TWO CONTESTS
SENATOR CLARKE HAS STRONG OVERWHELMING OPPOSING
 EARLE HODGES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


 Little Rock.-From all present indi- cations, general interest in the coming state primaries centers on the races for the office of secretary of state and the senatorship.
 / In the race for the senatorial nomi- nation close contest is expected. There are three well known men in the race, Sen. James P. Clarke, Asso- ciate Justice W. F. Kirby of the su- preme court and Judge Charles Coffin of Batesville. All three candidates are prominent over the state and it is conceded by all that the race will be a warm one
 In the race for secretary of state there are three active candidates at the present time. They are: Earle Hedges. present secretary of state; T. Henry Downing of Harrison and Frank E. Clinton, of Dardanelle.
 In the other state offices many of of the candidates will be unopposed. Gov Hays has a clear field, although candidates have until December 30 to announce their candidacy. The only possibility spoken of is State Treasurer John w. Crockett. MT. Crockett will make no definite statement of his in- tentions. No announcements to op- pose w. L.. Moose, attorney general; l.. L. Coffman, auditor; George B. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction, or John H. Page, commis- sioner for the Bureau of Mines, Manu- factures and Agriculture, have been made to date. All these officers will seek reelection. Also no one has an nounced to make the race for the treas urer's job in opposition to Rufus c. Mcdaniel, the present deputy treasur CT, or Judge Jesse Hart, who will seek reelection as associate justice of the Supreme Court.
 The new state highway law, its pos abilities, and on the other hand it's "impossibilities," is the vehicle for A " Smith, the author, who is supporting it and proclaiming it's virtues, and for W. B. Owen, who will be opponents for the office of state land commis- sioner. MT. Owen is secretary to Reu- ben G. Dye, now land commissioner, but who will not seek renomination.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MOOSE
 INTERPRETs LIQUOR LAW
Mir. Moose Says Only Adult Persons Of Unmixed Caucasian Sleod >Can
 Sign Petition.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-As the result of oues tion raised from Chicot county as to whether Indians or Foreigners other than Caucasians are allowed to sign a saloon petition under the new anti. liquor law, Attorney General Moose has rendered an opinion on the sub ject.
 Mr. Moose says:
 That section of the act provides that when a majority Of the adult white inhabitants within the corpor ate limits of any town or city shall petition the county court of the county to issue liquor licenses, it shall be law ful for the court to do so.
 Adult in that connection means, as l consider it, a person who has ar rived at full age-1S years for fe. male. and 21 years if male.
 White means person of the Cau casian race, and one who has no ad mixture of the blood of other races black, yellow, red or brown The court has held that the son of white father and an Indian mother could not be naturalized as citizen of the United States, because he was not a white man. Other courts have held frequent ly that white person is a member of the Caucasian race unmiXed with the blood of any other race. Some Cau- casians are not very white and some Philippians are not very black If the person is wholly Caucasian, he is white in the eyes of the law. and not otherwise; and a descendant of an African is a negro, if there is any ne- gro blood in him.
 '1nhabitant,' as 1t is used in this act is one who resides within the linn. it's of the town or city where the peti- tion is being circulated
 "So my opinion is that only persons who are of lawful age, who are white in the sense that they are Caucasian, and who reside within the city or town where it is proposed to sell liquor are authorized to sign the petition for license."

 Little Rock.-The campaign started by Arkansas men for the segregation of negroes in the railway mail service has been successful. At a banquet of white mail clerks in Little Rock General Superintendent of Mails Ste phens announced that the government had decided on the segregation plan.
 The department has already decid- ed in this matter of segregation" said Mr. Stephens. Tt is not our purpose, however, to make any dis criminatiOn between the two races of clerks no action which we shall take will cause the demotion of apNi man in the service.
 We simply are going to divide the forces into white and negro crews. In the few cases in which this has been done We have found that there has been a 9 per cent increase in the work over that of the mixed crews.
 We are going to do this-put white and negro clerks in unmixed crews everywhere, and we believe it will have a great effect in increasing the efficiency of the department.
