WEATHER IS fine
FOR STRAWBERRIES

The present season of clear, warm
spring weather is having a fine effect
on the strawberry crop in this vicin-
ity, and the indications are that a con-
tinuance of favorable weather condi-
tions will result in maximum yield
this year.
Ten thousand crates have already
been received here, and Secretary w.
d. Cole, Jr., of the Faulkner County
Truck Growers Association estimates
that this quantity will be required to
ship the crop. AS about 450 crates
will fill car, this means at least 20
carloads will be shipped from here.
The average price of a car of berries
is in the neighborhood of $1,000.
1t is thought that the first picking
will begin by the first Of May, or pos
sibly a few days earlier. Advertise
ments have been placed for 1000 pick
ers, and Secretary Cole says large
number of responses have already
been received, no difficulty in securing
sufficient force of pickers being an
ticipated.

ACT is UNPOPULAR.

! Little Rock, April 18.-The legisla-
tive act of the last legislature, Great
ing fish law in Boone county, is very
unpopular, especially with certain
classes, and they are looking for some
way in which to defeat it's purposes.
One resident of the county appealed to
Secretary of State f. w. Hodges, to
see if the people of the county could
not petition for reference of the bill
Secretary Hodges put the matter be-
fore Attorney General Moose, who
promptly produced supreme court
decision which states that no local
matters can be referred to the vote of
the county, the constitutional amend
ment permitting only statewide issues
to be submitted. This decision was
rendered at the time the citizens of
Dallas county wished to vote on a
courthouse question, citizens of Gar
land county wished to vote on gam
bling in Hot Springs, and citizens of
Hampstead county desired to vote up
on liquor license for Fulton. The citi-
zens of Boone county have been salts

HENDRIX HEAD TO
RETIRE JUNE 18th
RENNISON ALSO QUITS
LACK OF HARMONY WITH STU
DENTS SAID TO BE CAUSE
OF ACTION.

The resignation of Dr. Alexander
Copeland Millar as president of Hen
dirk College was accepted at meet
ing of the board of trustees of that
institution held in Little Rock yester-
day afternoon. At the same time the
resignation of Prof. S. S. Rennison
as member of the faculty was also
accepted, and Prof George H. Burr,
senior member of the faculty, was ap-
pointed to serve as chairman of the
faculty after the resignation of Dr.
Millar becomes effective, provided that
the board has not in the meantime Sc
cured successor to DR.. Millar Both
designations become effective at the
end of the present session of the col
lege, June IL.
The board appointed as a committee
to nominate a new president, its chair
man, former Governor Geo. W. Dona-
ghey, Rev. Forney Hutchinson of Hot
Springs and Rev F. S. H. Johnston of
Conway.
The news of DR.. Millar's retirement
came as great shock to his many
friends and the friends of Hendrix
College throughout the state Neither
he nor any member of the board was
willing to discuss for publication the
causes leading up to the action, but it
is generally understood that a lack of
harmony has existed for some time be-
tween the president and a certain ele-
ment of the student body over various
matters regarding DIR. Millar's poll
cies, and that this element also had
the sympathy, if not the support, of
some members of the faculty.
The friction which is said to have
existed for several months was
brought to the attention of the board
of trustees at a meeting held here on
March %, when a committee of the
dissatisfied students appeared before
the board and presented their griev-
ances The board, however, dismissed
the matter by taking no action upon
the complaints, but on the day follow
ing DR.. Millar formally rendered his
resignation to Mr.. Donaghey as chair
man Of the board
At yesterdays meeting it is stated
that DR.. Millar insisted upon the i'm
mediate acceptance of his resignation
without discussion, and, although sew
eral members protested, the resigna-
ton was granted.
To the Log Cabin Democrat today
DR.. Millar said that he preferred to
make no statement concerning his res
some plans for his future work, but
was not yet ready to announce them
DR.. Millar has served as president
of Hendrix College for over Is years,
coming here when the institution was
moved from Altus to Conway, in 1891.
He resigned in 1902 and was succeed
ed by DR.. Stonewall Anderson, who
retired in 1910. At that time DR..
Millar, who was then presiding elder
of the Little Rock district and asso-
ciate editor of the Western Methodist,
was again elected to the presidency of
the college.
During his long service, DR.. Millar
has made thousands of friends in this
and other states, all of whom will sim
cerely regret to learn of his retire
ment from the head of the institution.
Many are hopeful that the unfortu-
nate situation may yet be satisfacto-
rily adjusted and that Dr. Millar may
be prevailed upon to continue at his
post,

Had Followed Instructions.

The way In which a statement Is
made frequently changes Its effect
greatly. James, the new Office boy,
had been directed by his predecessor
TO perform certain duties daily at reg
ular times James proved rather in
efficient, and Dick, promoted, but still
in the Office, undertook to reprove
him. Among other derelictions it had
been reported that written instruc-
tons to inform visitors that a certain
member of the firm was only visible
at certain times, that the calls and
orders of the head of the firm must
always be given precedence, and that
the private secretary, a young lady
must be kept supplied with fresh
drinking water had been disooeyed.
Said Dick, sternly: Look here
boy, what did ! tell you about Mr.
Blank and Mr.. so-andSo and Miss
Dane?"

mixture Of shame and impudence:

Deadly Weed Tick.

There is a mountain valley In a
western state, one side OF which has
been almost depopulated by wood
ticks. The ticks are not very numer-
Gus, but they are deadly. The SPUR
rels of this valley are infected with
a peculiarly virulent form of so-called
spotted fever" better known as cere-
bro-spinal meningitis; and wood ticks
carry the deadly germs from squirrels
to men.
Such a visitation is terrifying
enough, even in this practical day.
What must IL have been In benighted
times when sickness was supposed TO
be the result of witchcraft, or perhaps
a visible sign Of the wrath of heaven?
How many wild decisions, how many
strange and fearsome cults and sacri-
fees that history records were due to
epidemics that mc'ern science would
trace TO polluted water supply or

Capture Underground Water.

An ingenious method has been en-
ployed by Wyoming live stock COM
pany in bringing to the surface and
thus making available for use, the wa

there are many on the slopes of the
Rockies. These streams percolate
through beds of sand and gravel at
depths varying from 10 to Is feet be-
low the surface, but are prevented
from sinking deeper by underlying
strata of imperyious clay. In build
ing the irrigation system a row Of
steel sheet piling extending across the
arroyo. or dry river bed, was first
driven through the sand and gravel,
penetrating the clay bed to a suffi-
cient depth to prevent seepage. The

were then incased In concrete, form.
