LITTLE ROCK DRY

SALOONS CLOSE DEC. ',3I
PETITION TO REOPEN WILL BE PUBLISHED ON JAN
 UARY 1, 1914.

Little Rock, Dec. 12-Little Rock, regardless of the success or failure of the effort to retain licensed saloons, will be without saloons for the first 10 days of the new year, if the advice of attorneys representing the liquor in terests is followed The provisions of the Going law, which becomes effective at midnight December 31, make it necessary that the signatures to peti- tions to the county judge be published at least 10 days prior to the courts action on the petition. Since the law does not become effective until New Years day. attorneys for the liquor interests deem it necessary to await publication until January l. The pe- tition must be inserted in two issues of an English newspaper with bona fide circulation in the city desiring the dramshops and the court may act on the petition l5 days after the final publication.
 This means, says Attorney Mor- ris NJ. Cohn. who, with w. l.. Terry, represents the liquor interests in Lit tie Rock, every day will be Sunday for a time, at least.
 The period during which the city IS deprived of saloons will be an object lesson to the city" Attorney Conn said yesterday.

NO POISON IS FOUND
 IN BYRkET1'S STOMACH
SECOND HUSBAND OF SHIREI'S WIDOW DIED OF UNKNOWN
 CAUSE.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-Dr. Wm. F. Mangledorf. state chemist. has render led a report to J. C. Land, coroner of Lawrence county, at Walnut Ridge, that no trace of poison was found in the stomach of o. O. Byrkett. The chemist worked for number of days on the stomach, but every test came up an absolute blank, so the death of young Byrkett must have been from natural causes. Byrkett died suddenly while seeping in chair, and on ta- ble nearby was partially empty whiskey bottle It was thought that Byrkett had been poisoned.
 The first test showed a large quan- tity of formaldehyde in the stomach, and Dr. Mangledorf wrote back to se- cure further information, being ln- formed that this was in the embalm- ing fluid which was placed in the stomach.
 Byrkett was the second husband of Faire Belle Hill-Shirey- -Byrkett. The tragic death of A. w. Shirey, the Min turn recluse who left the bulk of his fortune to the Odd Fellows, was a sensation a few years ago, and the identity of the assassin has never been revealed. The young wife was separated from Shirey at the time of his death, but not divorced. After the settlement with the young widow was made by the Odd Fellows, she mar fried Byrkett. and was apparently happy with him. Mrs. Byrkett was away from home on visit at the time of her husbands death.

MAYOR MOORE'S ALFALFA PATCH
is LESSON TO GEORGIA FARMERS

estimates the labor at less than $50.
Thus, on the first cutting, he more
than recouped his entire expenditure
while on his second cutting he will
make almost all profit. And the al.
falfa patch will be there, growing
the year round.
Mayor Moore believes that any
farmer in this state can secure A
stand of alfalfa with little trouble
and expense.
Mr.. ]. P. Cooper, of Perry, is also
experimenting in alfalfa. However
he has not been as successful as
Mayor Moore. Here is what the
Perry Home Journal says about Mr.
Cooper's patch
Mr.. Powers Cooper, of Perry, ware
houseman and farmer, has demon
strated the fact that alfalfa can be
successfully grown in Houston county
Last November he planted eigh;
acres in alfalfa on his German farm
near Toomer's Flat Greek Mill, about
six miles southwest of Perry on the
National highway.
The seed cost him SIS and the germ
incubation cost the same amount, 4
total of $36
Three weeks ago the first cutting
for hay was made, and the yield was
1000 pounds of cured hay The sam
pie brought to this office was per-
fectly cured, and COW that had never
before seen alfalfa ate it greedily.
This week there will be another
cutting, and Mr.. Cooper is satisfied =
will get at least 4,5OO pounds of hay
this time.
1t is estimated that the alfalfa will
furnish at least four cuttings, and
that the total yield of first-class hay
will be fully 1900 pounds.
The first cutting fully paid the cost
OF the seed and incubation, and pos
sibly the cost of planting.
We are told that this is an excellent
showing for the first year, and that
each of the several succeeding years
the yield will be much better.
There is no better hay anywhere
than properly cured alfalfa, and it s
easily cured.
Mr.. Cooper is delighted with his
venture and we dare say his success
will induce other progressive Houston
county farmers to follow his example.

Gen H. T. Davenport, commanding the
Georgia division, has also been in cor

NO TWILIGHT ZONE.

(From The New York World
Unless We misread the unanimous
opinion of the United States Supreme
Court in the Minnesota rate case. the
decision is neither victory for the
railroads nor for the State.
The Court refused to accept the
contention of the railroads that the
rates fixed by the Minnesota commits
sion were in effect a regulation of in
terstate commerce, although it held
that in one instance the rates were
confscatory and hence invalid. On
the other hand, the Court rejected the
extreme State rights contention that
the rates were wholly within the pro-
vince of the State and hence not
subject to Federal regulation or re-
view.
The court declined to admit that
there is a twilight zone in the regu-
lation of commerce. The power of
Congress to regulate interstate COM
merce is absolute, and this power eX-
tends ito every instrumentality and
agency" by which such commerce is
carried on. There remains to the
State the power to deal with local
commerce. If this local commerce is
incidentally interstate, the power still
resides in the State until such time
as Congress sees fit to exercise it.
Until Congress acts, the State may
act"
In practice the Court temporarily
leaves the new Western doctrine OF
State rights intact, except in respect
to the power of the Federal Courts to
suspend and review rates imposed by
the States. But in theory the Court
opens up the way to compel the federal
regulation and control of all railroads.
There is no railroad of Importance
that is not an interstate railroad
There is relatively little traffic that
is not incidentally or indirectly" in
terstate traffic in it's relation to rates.
Whenever Congress chooses to use
all power that in the opinion of the
Court, the Constitution has conferred
upon it, there will be little in the way
of railroad traffic left for the State to
regulate
Some of us may not regard this
complete Federal control over the
railroads as desirable, but it is i'm
possible to follow the history Of rail-
road regulation during the last 20
years without regarding II as ineyi-
table.

Macon-Remarkable results have
been achieved by Mayor John T.
Moore in the raising of alfalfa on his
farm on Houston road, just beyond the
city limits.
Last year Mr.. Moore determined to
plant alfalfa as an experiment, and
On October 81, he sowed three acres.
On April %, this year, he obtained his
first cutting, which amounted to 5000
pounds. AS alfalfa hay sells for $25
per ton the mayor secured enough
on his first cutting to save him $112.
For several weeks this alfalfa patch
did not do very well, on account OF
the hot dry weather, but the recent
rains brought it out, and another cut
ting is now ready. The mayor thinks
that this time that he will probably
get as much as 1000 pounds.
The seed for the original planting
cost $16, he spent 81 for lime, and
$16 for fertilizer, making a total cost,
not including labor of about $40. He

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL! - - - -

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
THE quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
THE most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
"The combination of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"

HISTORY REPEATS ALSO

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Marital em-
broglios of sturdy Romans, with the
orator Cicero figuring as a recreant

MANY VARIETIES OF STRAW
BERRIES GROWN IN ALASK A

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. TO-
More than 100 varieties of strawber-
ries now grow in Alaska, according to
the annual report of Alaska agricul-
tural experimental stations of the de-
partment of agriculture made public
here today.
Because of the climatical conditions
in Alaska it was hard problem at
first to get Strawberries to thrive,
but by hybridizing cultivated varie-
ties with pollen from the wild native
Alaska strawberry of the coast re-
gion, splendid results were obtained.
The most remarkable feature about
these hybrid plants is that they were
decidedly more vigorous than either
parent, yielding more, growing larger,
and seeming suited to almost any
climate in the territory.
In connection with the growing of
apples the experts in Alaska wrote
that only trees with crab apple blood
produced fruit An apple is being
made to hybridize the crab apple with
the ordinary eating apple in hopes of
getting fruit that will stand the
climate and be acceptable to good ta-
Bile use.
