NO TROUBLE WITH
 ENGLAND PROBABLE
Confidence in Washington That Diff ficulty Will be Adjusted Amicab- ly. Thirty American Ships
 Have been Detained.

Washington, Dec. 30-That the sit uation created by the American note to Great Britain concerning interrup- tions of commerce there will be ad- justed amicably is the belief in official circles.
 The discussion has turned to meas ures which the United States could take in cooperation with Great Brit ain to reduce to a minimum the neces- Isity for extended search on the seas. Agents of the Treasury and State De- |partments in one case inspected a car go of cotton, which inspection had sat |isfied the British embassy and facili- tated the progress of the shipment. It is believed an understanding may be reached whereby legitimate car goes can be certified before their de- parture from this country, and thereby made immune from detention.
 High officials were surprised that the American note has been regarded as "brusGue" in some London quarters.
 Thirty American Ships Detained Thirty American ships and cargoes their value totaling millions, rave been detained. The American note says that the activity of the British fleet has restrained many American export CTS, whose business has become stag lnant for fear of the numerous techni calities and risks involved in ship lmentS.
 As to cotton shipment, the case of one or two il1egitimate cargoes, it is recognized, has caused the British gov ernment to suspect all shipments. The United States government has no evil dence that there has been contraband concealed in cotton cargoes, but Eng land has made two specific complaints of it.

crCOND DRY SPELL
 HITS STATE TONIGHT
co;ne Law Closes Saloons Through out Arkansas at Midnight. Re- tail Dealers Express Conf
 dence of ReOpening.

Arkansas today will repeat it's per formance of one year ago by shifting overnight from the wet to the dry col umn.
 Every saloon in the state will close st midnight and none will open tomor- row morning, nor the morning after, mless perchance the Helena saloonists are fortunate enough to win their case which will be decided by the Phillips County Court Friday. The Argenta ease may be the second to be decided in the state, County Judge Joe Asher having agreed to hear the prohibition ists protest to the saloon mems peti- ton Saturday morning.
 Anticipating only short interrup- ton of business only one wholesale liouor firm in Little Rock has announc- ed that mail orders are to be handled from outside the state. The Lasker Brothers Company has opened branch store in St. Louis, from which all or ders will be filled pending the outcome of the Little Rock saloon mems peti- ton.
 Retail Men Confident.
 The retail dealers express every con fdence they will be able to again open within short time. The Little Rock petition probably will be filed Satur- day. The case can not be called in the County Court until 10 days after the date of filing.
 The dry period, unless the saloon men fail to show sufficient signers to their petitions. probably will not con- tinue over so long period as a year ago, because of the fact that the oper- ation of the law is better known. The Going law has been passed upon in five decisions of the Arkansas Supreme Court during the last year. Its oper- ation cost the Argenta dealers in 1914 the price of two annual licenses, be- sides lawyers and courtf ees.
 Thirsty ones, remembering the hard ships experienced year ago when the saloons closed. have made their plans with more system this year, and the closing tonight will find very few homes where liquors are desired, with out a supply.-Little Rock Gazette.

To avoid answering so many inqui- ries to the examination advertised for clerk at this office January g, 1915, I wish to offer a word of explanation. These examina tions are held to estab- fish an eligible register. When an ex- animation is held it does not necessar- fly mean that there is vacancy in an office of this class, but that an eligible register will be established for the purpose of filling any vacancy that may occur in the future. There is only one vacancy to be filled at this office at this time, and that is the po- sition of substitute clerk.-John A. Marr, P. M.

TIME FOR PRUNING THE
 ORCHARD

Questions are often asked about the desirability of early winter prun- ling of orchard trees. Some people have notion that early pruning causes more water sprouts and heavy growth than will be the case if the pruning is delayed until late winter. Others are fearful of cutting limbs after the sap begins to flow or after buds have started.
 The horticultural department at the Ohio College of Agriculture states that as a general rule winter pruning promotes wood growth, while summer pruning checks growth of trees. It makes no difference then at what time during the dormant season the prun- ing is done, the effect on the tree
 growth will be the same. However there is certain advantage in delay | ing the pruning until late winter. There is always danger of certain
 amount of winter killing of twigs and
 smaller limbs. Pruning after this danger is over will obviate any neces-
 sity of pruning twice. Then, too where wounds are made early in the winter the freezing and thawing is apt to check wood growth and to dry the tissues so that a prompt healing
 is hindered and sometimes prevented. In case trees are making too vigorous a growth it is sometimes desirable to prune them in summer. However, summer pruning, to be effective, must take place just after the terminal buds have completed their growth. this is usually during the latter part of June. Later pruning simply starts new wood growth and defeats the pruner's objects.
 These general principles of prun- ing apply to all fruit trees of all classes and ages. Where one has large orchard to prune he will usual ly findit necessary to begin in early winter and he will undoubtedly be busy the entire winter. If the pruning were delayed in such cases most of it would never be done. It goes without saying that before one undertakes to prune he should make some little study of fruit buds and tree growth. The best pruning tools are sharp pruning saw and pair of hand shears; the ax and the two-hand shears have but a
