Board Will Tackle Malaria,
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.- When
the Arkansas Board of Health
was formed by the legislature
of 1913, those advocating it
promised great things in the
way of prevention of sickness,
and better sanitary conditions
and the first big step in this d.
rection was announced Monday
by DR.. Morgan Smith, the head
of the Board.
DR.. Van Ezdorf, of the Unit
ed States Board of Public
Health now stationed in No
bile, will arrive in Arkansas be-
fore the end of the week and
take up the study of the malari-
al situation in this state.
The two greatest causes of
sickness in the South are ma
laria and the hookworm. The
latter disease is now receiving
much attention, but Alabama is
the only Southern state in which
the government interested itself
in malaria. DR.. Van Ezdorf has
made an exhaustive research in
that state, and his report has
caused a campaign which is
expected to wipe out the dis
ease. He will do the same for
Arkansas, taking probably a
year to visit all sections and
study the prevalence of the dis
ease, it's distribution, the man
ner in which the mosquitoes,
which are supposed to carry the
germs, breed, and the normal
conditions of the people of the
state.
This research work will be
carried on with the assistance of
the State Board of Health, and
in the end the physicians hope
to free the people of Arkansas
from the disease which causes
so much sickness.

Judge Stuckey Tells Tomato
Yarn.

Say, do you know M. M. Stuc-
key Esq, attorney at law, and
all round good fellow of New
port? -, asked Col. Geo. G.
Dent of Annieville, who was in
the city for a few hours this
week, talking of the proposed
macadam road to be built from
1mboden to Smithville, 10 miles,
in two days, by Lawrence coun-
tvs best citizens agreeing to
work personally on it. We'll, if
you don't I do, in more ways
than one. | believe he is the
most finished prevaricator
have ever known. The other
day at my picnic, Stuckey and
Jack Conger, president of Cen
trail College at Conway, ate din
ner at our spread. Stuckey is
politeness to the ladies you
know.
Well, my wife and Stuckey got
to talking on canning tomatoes.
Mrs. Dent is pretty good at can
ming stuff, so they say, anu !
expect she was trying to tell
Stuckey how to can stuff, when
he ventured to remark: Mrs.
Dentmy wife andI canned more
than a hundred cans of tomatoes
for our family use last season.
We filled the cans full and seal
ed them tight. We placed the
cans in our cellar and when we
opened them for use a few
months later there wasn't a to-
mato OR any juice in the cans we
had put up, and they were seal
ed tight just as the were when
we put them away with the to-
matoes in them last summer"
After Judge Stuckey left my
wife told me what he had told
her about this, and asked me
how he stood in the community
in which he lived for truth. l
did not reply to her question, but
I couldn't but think of Endos-
Mosis and Exomosis.-Walnut

Friedman Cure At Little Rock.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.-With-
out interference from the State
Board of Health, as had been an
tlclpated, or at the hands of the
State Medical Society, represen-
tatives of the Friedman cure for
consumption, or the alleged cure
for consumption, began treating
patients in Little Rock Monday.
DR.. J. J. Meyer of New York is
at the head Of the local insti-
tute, and it is stated no one will
be turned away. Charges will
be made for those who are able
to pay, and others will be treat
ed free.
The Friedman cure differs
from most forms Of vaccination,
for live germs are introduced in
to the body, where dead germs
are used in the other treatments.
The germs will be raised in Lit
tie Rock, and every physician in
the state will watch with great
interest the progress of the pa
tents who are treated. A num-
Der of patients who were treated
in New York will continue their
treatment in Little Rock, having
returned to this section of the
country after DR.. Friedman had
injected his serum into their
systems.

Protests Against Martin.


Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July %. Unit
ed States Senator James P.
Clarke will return to Arkansas to
take a look at the local situation
as to the shaking down of few
federal plums. He is now be-
sieged with protests as to the
appointment of w. H. Martin Of
Hot Springs, as United States
District Attorney here, it be-
ing alleged that Mr.. Martin did
not support the democratic tick
ct in the last state election, and
that he supported a Republican
in preference to the Democratic
nominee for the State Senate, in
Garland county several years
ago. Mr.. Martin at this time
acted as attorney for c. d.
Greaves in his contest for the
seat claimed by Orlando H.Sum-
ter. 1t is stated that he made
speeches on the stump for
Greaves. Senator Clarke will
probably look into these while in
Little Rock.

Crop Summary.


The crop did we'll over much
the greater portion of the cot
ton area. There was deteriora-
ton in certain sections of Texas
and in parts of Oklahoma, but
the loss is in its incipiency and
can be readily regained with
rains. Most Texas correspond
ents say that rain by August
10th will insure good crop.
In all other states there was
enough rainfall to supply a.
bundant moisture save over nor
thern Mississippi and Tennessee
where ram is not yet a necesSi-
ty. It is thus true that the
crop made normal progress over
IS to 80 per cent of the area
and a small or moderate deteri-
Grafton over the remaining 20
to rs per cent.
Very excellent condition as
to cultivation as we'll maintained
and the crop is being laid by or
given the final cultivation over
large areas. The soil is in fine
filth and the fields are free from
grass.
The plant is taking on fruit
well in all sections, and many
note this function as being ex-
ceptionally well performed.
There is no shedding except in
Texas.
Open bolls are reported in mid
die Alabama and picking has
become general in Southwestern
Texas. Weevils appear to be do
ing rather less damage than
heretofore.
BY STATES.
North Carolina-Crop as a
whole, has done well. Rains fell
in most sections, but were rath-
err irregular and places are still
dry. Cotton is not large and is
genarally rated as late, but
SENS to be well fruited and
healthy.
South Carolina-Good rains
over the state. Plant blooming
and fruiting freely. Generally
somewhat small, but prospects
are pleasing.
Georgia-Rains general ex-
cept in Northwest where still
dry. Old cotton we'll fruited
and laid by. Rains have dissi-
pated effects of intense heat and
crop outlook is good. Small
plant we'll fruited and thrifty.
Alabama - Rains covered
practically entire state, giving
ample moisture. Crop heavily

JURY CLEARS BEACH
OF ASSAULT CHARGE

1NcW 1OTk N1llOnalre Is AC-

Nothing Against YOU" De-
clares the Foreman.
Aiken, Feb. Acquitted of
the charge of committing
murderous assault upon his
wife, Frederick o. Beach, the
wealthy New Yorker, enjoyed
the additional satisfaction to-
day of hearing from the lips of
the jury foreman that there
was absolutely nothing against
him." Beach was not in the
court room when the jury filed
in at 3 o'clock after being out
just one hour and 45 minutes.
Judge Spain had declared a re-
cess for dinner when the first
half hours deliberation had
failed to produce a verdict and
Beach, with his wife, had gone
to their hotel. Every one of
Beach's lawyers was in his seat
scanning the faces of the wait
ing jurors for some sign of their
favor. Two minutes passed
and Beach didn't appear. Then
the court directed the clerk to
poll the jury and ask whether
they had agreed upon a verdict.
Foreman A. H. Nc Carroll, who
is a cotton mill superintendent.
merely handed the clerk an en-
velope containing the verdict.
AS the words mot guilty"
reached the ears Of those in the
packed court room there was a
slight stir, but no applease, not
a sign of. a demonstration of
any sort. An instant later the
familiar figure of the New
York society man appeared in
the doorway, his face beaming.
The good news had reached him
in the hall. Without pausing
even to greet his lawyers, Mr..
Beach walked over to the Jury
box and shook hands warmly
with every juror in his reach.
He waved and bowed his thanks
to those in the back row.

on which moral code can be
built.
The second temptation is to
put selfish interests above the
common good-the temptation
to regard education as a means
OF getting ahead of others
rather than as means of larg-
er service. Let not the train
ing Of the mind wean you from
sympathy with your fellows.
Education will make you
stronger; put that larger
strength at the service of those
who are weaker and learn a les
son of paramount Importance,
namely, that life is measured.
not by what we get out of the
world, but by what we put into
the world.

Advice to Students.

(W. j. Bryan in The Com
moner.)
Mr.. Earl Cranston, Jr., East
Side High School, Denver Col.
Dear Mr.. Cranston: You may
quote me as saying: A request
from a student to one who has
passed middle life can best be
granted by a response which
will be useful, and the obliga-
ton to make such answer is the
greater, when, as in this case,
it is to reach a large number of
students.
| need not dwell upon the ne
cessity for education; it may be
assumed that those to whom
these words are addressed al
ready appreciate the vital i'm
portance of mental training.
They need rather to be warned
against the temptations that
come with education, and there
are two which most deserve
consideration:
The first temptation is to for
get God; the sin of the first pair
in the Garden of Eden grew out
of a determination to trust the
head instead of the heart. They
could not see why limitations
were placed upon them, and
therefore they resolved upon
disobedience. The mind must
not think of itself too highly; :;
it is not the commander-in-chief
to mans destiny. Faith is
greater than reason. Pascal
truly says that the heart has
reasons that the reason can not
understand, because the heart
IS of an infinitely higher order"
Learning is good, but remem-
ber always that "the fear of
God IS the beginning of wis
dom. Religion is the most
practical thing with which man
has to deal, because it alone
gives him a conception of life,
and furnishes a foundation up-
