STATE LAND OFFICE
BILL Is A HOAX

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-State Land
Commissioner r. G. Dye says that he
has no fear of the legislature passing
the bin introduced by Dickinson, to
abolish the state land office.
"The first bill of this character"
said he, twas introduced in 1898, and
has been introduced regularly in each
succeeding legislature, but has never
met with any favor. 1t has never
gotten beyond the committee in either
'house-always having been reported
adversely. Those who offer such bills
do so without investigation. The work
of the department is wholly technical
and can be done only by men of long
training, and similar to that of no
other office. 1t is conducted without
expense to the state, being self-sus-
tanning from the fees, and even with
that 80 per cent of the work is gratu-
itous. and the fees charged are not
commensurate with the work of equal
to the fees charged in any other Of
fce'

RESOLUTION OPPOSING
KAYANAUCH INTRODUCED

Little Rock, Jan. ia sensation
was sprung in the house Monday aft
ernoon by jackson of Randolph, when
he introduced a resolution opposing
the candidacy Of Judge ". NJ. Kava-
naugh of Little Rock for the short
term in the senate. The resolution
declared that he IS 'the head Of the
traction system of Little Rock and va
rious other corporations, and eXpon-
ent of boss rule and machine politics
and as much representative of special
privileges in the politics of Arkansas
as the Ryans, Belmont and Murphys
are the Representatives of special
privileges in New York" Upon mo-
ton of Rorex of Yell, by vote of so
to 26, the further consideration of the
resolution was deferred for ID days
which has the effect of delaying it un-
til after the election of United States
senator, for both the long and short
terms, will have been taken up.

There must necessarily be differ

there are several in community who
need and should have that commodity

TWO men DIE IN
A PARAGOULD FIRE
THREE OTHERS THOUGHT TO
HAVE PERISHED WHEN
STORES ARE BURNED.

Paragould, Jan. 16.-Charred bod
les of two men were yesterday dug
out of the ruins Of the building occu-
pied by the Corner restaurant which
was destroyed by fire Tuesday night,
and it is believed that the bodies of
two other roomers are buried beneath
the debris.
One of the bodies has been identi-
fed as that of Richard Lawson, broth
er Of former Sheriff J. E. Lawson.
The other is believed to be that of
Walter Robinson, a young farmer, re-
siding at Beach Grove, this county.
A young man named Gilbert, who oc-
cupied one of the rooms and an I'M
identified man, who was a lodged, are
still missing. 1t is believed their bod
les are buried in the ruins. Work
men have been engaged all day re-
moving the debris, but had not .und
either one of them when night came.
The fire is said to have originated
from a gasoline explosion in the rear
of the restaurant. J. L. Martin, the
proprietor, estimates his loss at $500
with 800 insurance.
Ed Baugh's barber shop was de-
stroyed with a loss of $1,000, insu-
rance $500.
Rileys notion store sustained loss
Of $4,000 covered by insurance. a
large fire wall saved the remainder of
the block which includes the Lyric
theater and the Stancill hotel from de-
struction.

2 IL CENT FARE BILL
INTRODUCED IN SENATE

Little Rock, Jan. 16.-The most i'm
portant measure introduced in the
senate Wednesday, among the p bills,
was one by Senator J. N. WATSON,
providing that the fare for passen-
gers on railroads over IS miles in
length shall be two and one-half cents
per mile. The bill was read twice and
referred to the committee on rail
roads. Senator WATSON says that nc
believes this will be acceptable to the
railroads. The act of 1907, which was
enioined in the courts, provided for a
rate of two cents a mile.

For example. l.. E. Howard of Hell

For example, L. E. Howard of Hell
ena wrote the department this week
for information about where to buy
several carloads of lime, what kind to
use. the freight rate, etc, to be used
by his demonstrators in Phillips coun-
tv. What does this mean? In add
ton to being able to furnish his DEM
onstrators with all available informa-
ton on how to use lime, and what is
the best kind to use, Mr.. Howard pro-
poses to furnish them lime at a cost
that will most certainly be far below
what any one farmer would have to
pay should ne order only enough for
his own use. Not one of those farm
ers would need enough lime to be able
to demand wholesale rate, but a few
neighbors, by cooperation and organ
ization, can demand much lower rate
by buying in larger quantities.
Only today, John Lambert of Scar
CIV writes us that he has interested
several White county farmers and
business men in blooded livestock.
They propose to buy number Of reg
istered Holsteins at once time, in or
der to get advantage of the low rate
of wholesale buying. The result is an
excellent start of the best stock and
at a price that will surprise even the
men who are versed in the value Of
blooded livestock. All the commission
is eliminated. The best reasons for
the best stock is the experience Of
others. All successful dairymen tell
us that there is more money in herd
of good stock than in herd of scrubs.
Why then wouldn't there be more
money in one?
Arkansas is admirably adapted to
the livestock industry. We need more
registered stock. Follow the example
set by the citizens of White county
and begin a new year with at least
one registered cow, bought at the
wholesale rate. The larger the guam
tity bought the lower the price of each
item. JOHN ii. PAGE,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Mechanism of the Ear.

Comparatively few people
thoroughly realize what a deli
cate and sensitive structure the
human ear really is. That which
we ordinarily designate so is,
after all, only the outer porch of
a series of winding passages,
which, like lobbies of a great
building, lead from the world
without to the world within. Ger
tain of these passages contain
liquid, and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor of different
places and can be thrown into
vibrations or made to tremble
like the head of a drum, or as
the surface of a tambourine Goes
when struck with a stick or with
the fingers. Between two or
three parchment-like curtains a
chain of very small bones extends
which serves to tighten or relax
these membranes and to- commu-
nicate vibrations to them. In
the innermost place Of all a row
Of white threads, called nerves,
stretches like the strings of a
piano from the last point to
which the tremblings or thrill
lings reach and pass inward to
the brain.
