Last week 8 issue contained a
short article on "Thoroughness"
which should have read; thor
oughness and advancement are
of prime Importance, not is OF
prime Importance; as two nouns
connected by AND required a
plural verb, Also subjects have
been completed, not has been
completed. My manuscript is
always written correctly, but
often hurriedly. Absence pre-
vents my reading the proof and
the proOf-reader is overworke d,
so mistakes occur.
The Child's Health
When the parents deliver a
child into the care of the public
schools, they have the right to
expect that the child under the
supervision of the teachers and
school authorities will be kept
safe from harm, and that he will
be given back to them in as per-
feet health as he was at first.
Individual efficiency rests not
alone on education. but is equal
ly dependent upon physical
health and vigor. Would it not
be well to have medical inspect
ion and physical training manda-
tory? Money spent thus would
be well spent.
The Distinctive Aim in Teaching
The teacher who comes to the
school prepared to feed the hun
cry souls of the children upon
the real bread of life will be in
spired by the higher and larger
vision of completed, ll-roun-
ded human being as the finished
product of training. Not a bread
winner, a mere artisan, mere
artist, mere money maker; but
one who is incidentally one Of
these, as the case may require;
and one who is distinctly much
more than all these, namely, A
LIVING SOUL.
So the distinctive aim of the
school should be that of round
ing out the whole inner life of
the individual, including as a
matter Of course the bread win
ming quality. In realizing this
higher aim of the schools, labor
and industry will be dignitied
and exalted. The chosen call
ing will be considered high or
low only in proportion as the
person occupying it is puny-
minded, one-ideal, under devel-
oped individual, or an intelligent,
far-seeing, broad minded one.-

SOUTHERN STATES WARNED
Cattle Being Shipped Out by Whole. saIe-WiII Cause Higher Prices.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington.-Gray warning to the southern states, especially Louisiana Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, against the wholesale expor tation of their cattle is contained in a special statement issued by the bu- reau of animal industry of the Depart ment of Agriculture.
 In the past 12 months, says the state. ment, buyers from the middle west have taken from that district thous ands of animals, many of which go to the slaughter house, when they should be retained for breeding purposes.
 Some people of the south," says the bureau, "seem glad that these cat tie are being shipped out, as the num- Der of scrub cattle is being reduced and the south will get better cattle as the result They do not consider that if the shortage of cattle is such as to cause buyers to come from the far west to buy these scrub cattle for breeding purposes the chances of southern farmers refilling their pas lures with good cattle are indeed small, but where are these good breed ing cattle to come at a reasonbie price?"

 Conway.-Upon conditions which the Board of Trustees decided to meet, Dr. John Hugh Reynolds of the Uni yersity of Arkansas has accepted the presidency of Hendrix College, sue ceeding Dr. A. C. Millar The new president is expected to assume his duties at once.
 The erection within the next three years of buildings which will cost in the neighborhood of $f50000 was the principal condition which Dr. Reynolds attached to his acceptance of the pc sition. The other conditions related to the administration of the college, the new president stipuIating that his executive control of the institution should be absolute and without inter ference. The latter was readily agreed to, it being the desire Of the trustees that the entire administrative policy of the college should be in the hands of it's president.
 The new buildings to be erected will consist of dormitories, a science hall and a gymnasium. These, as well as other needed buildings, were recom- mended by the retiring president, pr. A. C. Millar, and on his recommends tions were adopted by the board. A campaign for funds for these buildings will be immediately inaugurated.

PREDICTS USE CF SILOS
lumberman Talks on Important Cues
 tion-WilI Save Big Waste.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Silos will, within the next few years, save the farmers, and especially those raising cattle or pay gin any attention to the dairy busi- ress, millions of dollars, according to L. R. Putnam of Fayetteville, for many years president of the Arkansas Lumbermen's Association, and one of the best known lumbermen of Arkan- sas.
 It was s& the suggestion of MT Put man that Silo Day was observed at the University of Arkansas May 31, at which several hundred farmers spent the day on the college campus, listen ing to the lectures of farming experts, and witnessing a silo in operation at the college dairy.
 'Ten tons of silage may be put in the same space as one ton of hay" states MT. Putnam, "and the corn from 15 acres, placed in silo will do more good than the hay from 75 acres. The corn from ten acres, if rlaced in silo, will winter 30 head of cattle, and as the feed is as rich and juicy in January as it was in June, it will produce as much milk in the dead of winter as in summer. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars are being annually wasted in Arkansas by the loss of valuable feed, which is now left in the field. If this is put up in a silo, all the feeding qualities are saved.
 "There are comparatively few silos in Arkansas now, but you will see them by the thousands in the next few years. We had farmers from Pine Bluff, Monticello, Warren, and other towns far away from Fayetteville, which shows how interested they are in the new method of handling win ter feed. The farmers went away pleased with the silo, and many pur- chased them before they departed from Fayetteville. Every community where one silo is tried means many moro there next year."

COURT SUS7AINS
 STATE ATTORNEY
JUDGE RULES ACT OF REGENT ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE IS
 NOT PREFERABLE.
CASE TO BE CARRIED HIGHER
Question of Disfrsnchisement Will En- ter Contest When Matter Reaches
 U. S. Tribunal.

Western Newspaper Union Neprs Service.
 Little Rock.-Circuit Judge Fulk handed down an opinion in the case instituted by the liquor dealers to compel Secretary of State Hodges to submit the drastic anti-saloon act passed by the legislature to the voters of the state at the next general cleo ton under the initiative and referen- dunn amendment to the state constitu ton. Judge Fulk sustained Attorney General Moose in his contention that the act was not referable, and denied the petition filed by the liquor people asking for a mandamus on the secra. tary of state. The case now goes to the supreme court for a final deter. mination
 It was authoritatively state that the liquor interests will soon attack ths constitutionality of the act on the ground that the proposed law denies negroes from signing the petitions tC be filed with county court when appli cations for liquor licenses are filed This is about the only federal question involved, it is said, and will finally gc to the United States Supreme Court for settlement. The law passed by the last legislature, seeking to rid tbe state of saloons, will not take effect until January 1, 1914, in the event the act is sustained by the supreme courl. If the case should be taken to the United States Supreme Court another session of the legislature will be held before final decision could be reach ed by that tribunal.

Little Rock.-Arkansas has a chance to get a song dedicated to Arkansas alone Mont Finch, a St. Louis song writer, has written to Gov. J. M Flu trell that he has composed a ballad entitled My Old Arkansas Home. D which he wishes made the official song of Arkansas. He declares that the appointment of commission to select a State ballad is unfair to the contest ants who base their efforts on merit, for some bit of humor is liable to catch the fancy of the commission and the artistic creations are side-tracked q He asks the governor to consider S song, and have it played and snn 7, and then give it to the people for the r own.

CAN HOLD THREE OFFICES
Attorney General Moose Says Cabot
 Man not Violating Law

Western Newspaper Union News Snrvice>
 Little Rock.-According to an opin- ion handed down by Attorney General Moose a citizen of Arkansas can hold three offices at one time without vio- lating the constitution.

There is no conflict in departments between the office of justice of the peace, councilman and school director, according to the at torney general.

Tt was the custom in former years," stated Senator Clarke, "and is still to some extent, for the United States senators to have the dis posal of certain offices, but it is not now what it used to be.

DECISION WAS REVERSED
FEDERAL JUDGE TRlEBER HAD SUSTAINED OPERATORS IN CLAIMS OF UNREASON-
 ABLE TARIFFS.
REGULATE FREIGHT RATES
Commission Has Power to Fix Maxi mum Charges on all Railroads
 in the State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington, D. C.-The people of Arkansas won their first legal victory in their fight against the railroads of that state, when the United States Supreme Court held that Arkansas 2 cent passenger fare law was valid unless the railroads could prove that the rate was confiscat0ry.
 Besides the Arkansas case the Su. preme Court also decided cases favor able to the states of Missouri, Oregon . and West Virginia.
 In reversing the decision of Judge Trieber of the United States Circuit Court for the eastern district of Ar kansas, who held that the Arkansas maximum freight and 2-cent passenger rate law were invalid because confis- catory, the United States Supreme Court, in an opinion handed down by Justice Hughes, reversed the lower court and remanded with directions to dismiss without prejudice, the cases appealed by the Arkansas Railroad Commission against the iron Mountain and Southern and the St. Louis South western railroad companies, in an eff fort to uphold the law passed by the Arkansas legislature in 1907, fixing the maximum passenger rates and freight rates within the state.
 The original action was brought by 13 railroad companies operating within tho ctafe of ArLopcoc t0 apioip tb a Arkansas Railroad Commission from enforcing the maximum freight and two-cent passenger rate laws.
 The cases were brought before Cir cult Judge Trieber at Little Rock on July IS, 1908. Judge Trieber held that the Arkansas freight and passenger laws complained of would not afford a reasonable return upon the property, and were therefore cofiscatory. While there was no formal opinion handed down in the Arkansas rate cases, the court announced that the dicision in the Missouri cases was applicable in the Arkansas cases. The other IF Ark ansas railroads had previously agreed to abide by the decision in the Iron Mountain and St. Louis and South. western cases which were decided.
 The Supreme Courts decision is looked upon as real victory for the Arkansas Railroad Commission in the right of the state to fix railroad rates This is held to be valid.
 Under the decision the court decid- ed that when a state railroad commits sion fixes the rates the railroads oper. ating within the state cannot make a case until they have operated under these rates, and even then the burden of proof is upon the railroads to prove conclusively that the rates complained of are confiscatory.
 The Iron Mountain and the other railroads contended that the passen- ger and freight rates fixed by the Arkansas Railroad Commission were unjust, unreasonable and confiscatory in that it deprived them of property withouts due process of law. Under the decision, the railroads from now on must prove that the rates, which will now be put in force in Arkansas, are confiscatory.

Detailed Report of Flood Losses.

Little Rock.-A detailed report of the losses sustained in Desha county through the Mississippi river floods in 1912, was submitted to Gov J. M. Futrell by J. L. Parker, banker of Arkansas City. The report immedi- ately was forwarded to the Mississippi River Commission at Memphis and will be used by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri in his fight for fed eral aid for levee protection. This report was so complete and so concise that Governor Futrell probably will commission MT. Parker to go into other counties in eastern Arkansas to prepare reports for use by Senator Reed in his congressional fight.
