GOING LAW IS IN EFFECT
Saloons in Cities Close Pending Action
 on License Petitions.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-As the new year was ushered in Arkansas, to a very large extent, entered upon a period of state wide prohibition. How long the period will last in various cities of the state depends upon the action of the county judges in passing upon petitions for liquor licenses filed under the new Co., ing act, which became effective on the first day of the year
 In Little Rock and Argenta, as we'll as in several other cities of the state where licensed saloons have existed, all the liquor dealers closed their places of business at midnight on De cember q, expecting to keep them closed for at least ten days and pos sibly longer. This was done or the advice of attorneys that the petitions for licenses, already prepared, conld not be published before January as the law under which they will be filed cid not become effective before that time. Two publications of the peti- tons are then necessary and at least ten days must elapse before the county judge can pass upon the petitions.
 The fight between the license advo- cates and the prohibition forces has been hot in Little Rock Fort Smith, Hot Springs, Helena and other cities in the state. Both sides have claimed victory, The final decision in each case lies with the county judge who must decide whether the petitions for license hear the names of majority of the white adult residents of the city. The question of determining the num- pu2zling one and this may furnish the basis for contests in the courts. it is expected

RICE CROP CUT BY RAINS
States Production About Equals That
 of Last Year, However.
n Ncwsnaner rnion Nows scrvlce.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Stuttgart.-The past season has been very unfavorable for the rice farmers of Arkansas, caused by a long dry growing season and costly irrigation, followed by a wet harvest, heavy loss from overripe shattered grain and damage by water.
 From statistics furnished by the Southern Rice Growers Association the conditions on December 1 were ap- proximateIy as follows
 At Weiner 50 per cent or the rice cut, very little threshing done.
 At Hunter reports showed weather ideal and threshing about half done.
 At Wheatley the best rice in that district reported threshed
 At Almyra 65 per cent of the rice threshed, with probably 10 per cent still standing in the fields.
 At Dewitt E per cent threshed, 40 per cent of the threshed rice being strictly No. 1.
 Stuttgart territory showed 75 per cent of the crop threshed. General reports indicate rice production this year as about equal to the 1912 crop.
 The acreage seeded to rice in Ark ansas for 1913 was, in round numbers, 103,0O0 acres. which produced above all loss 900,000 bags or 3.600.000 bush els, showing the net crop produced to have been 36 bushels per acre.
 With harvesting and marketing conditions handicapped in both Texas and Louisiana on account of unfayor- able weather the price this year has been above last years prices, which in a great many cases more than reim- bursed the farmers for the grain lost.
