SCHOOLS AND SANITATION
School Improvement Association Urg- ed To Work For Better Sani-
 tary Conditions.

The State law requires Physiology and Hygiene to be taught in all pub lie schools" said State Superintend- ent Geo. B. Cook, in a recent ad- dress, land the General Assmebly has enacted laws for the protection of public health and disease prevention" :"
 There can be no more impressive teaching than practice and example. Better sanitary conditions are grave and insistent needs for many of our schools both in rural and in urban communities. It will serve the State but little for us to continue the text book lessons and neglect their appli- cation. These lessons involve the health and life of the individual and the community; but will the child be- lieve, if teachers, school boards and parents remain indifferent?"
 "A great opportunity for public service is now presented to those of us who are teachers, or members of School Improvement Associations and citizens generally-to cooperate with our School Boards, first to learn the imperative needs of our respec- tive schools for safe sanitary condi- tions and then the most logical and economical means to bring about re- form in the many schools where needs are urgent"
 "Let us remember that ethical, so- cial and moral training rests largely on health and wholesome environ ment."

CITY COUNCIL MAY RE-
 CURE STREET WORK
Persons in Corporate Limits Between Ages of Is and 2l Required to Work Streets or Pay Certain
 Amount Money Yearly

Il see no reason for the law to re- quire persons who are IS years old and under 21 to work on the streets and alleys when persons of the same age residing outside of corporate limits are not required to work the public highways, but the legislature seems to have made the distinction" !"
 This is the conclusinon reached by Attorney general Moose in reply to a question by County Judge w. A. Cok- CT of Monticello.
 Section 1881 applies only to public roads outside of cities and towns, and provides that where any person re- sides inside corporate limits, and is streets, or pay corporation tax in lieu of such service, he shall be ex- empt from labor on the public roads.
 Section 549S provides that a city council may require all male persons between the ages of IS and 45, re- sident within the limits, to labor on the streets, alleys and sidewalks.

ARKANSAS ROAD BONDS
 SELL ABOVE PAR First Time in History of State. Oc- cured in Lincoln County in Dis trict No. l-ROad from
 Star City tC Tarry

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-For the first time in the history of the state, Ar kansas road bonds have sold above par. This occurred in Lincoln county, in the sale of the bonds of District No. l, for the construction of road from Star City to Tarrey
 The Commissioners had advertised for sealed bids on bonds, with a clause that they reserved the right to reject any or all bids. State Highway Commissioner Dye and State Highway Engineer Carter, who were present, recommended that all the bids be re- jected, and that bonds be sold at auc- tion among those who had submitted bids. The high bid of the four sub mitted was par, but at public auction the bonds brought 1011a and were bought by Wm. R. Compton & Co.,, of St. Louis. The bonds are for twen- ty years, and the $66,000 face value brought total of $66,980.
 The purchasers of the bonds said the reason they were willing to pay premium is that Arkansas has State Highway Commission in which they have confidence. Jefferson county roads bonds, for districts No. and 5 organized under the same act, had sold for 95 cents, and are for fifteen years. Assistant Engineer Flight is mak- ing the preliminary survey for an other road from Star City to Grady, a distance of 21 miles. Engineer Car ter will go to Newport Monday to make his report on the Jackson county project at mass meeting of citizens, called for that day.

FIRE INSURANCE

Fire Insurance Companies intend, at an early date, to fix rates of pre- mium, or charges for insurance per S100, under new form of schedule, which will, it is claimed, make each risk pay what it is worth, that is, the bad risk a high rate, and the good one low rate. It, therefore, be- hooves every property ownerNto PUT HIS HOUSE IN ORDER at once and keep it so, thus avoiding the necessity for an undue advance in the rate of his property.
 A few faults, which may be termed faults of management, or neglect or carelessness, are so prolific as causes of fires, and are so easily corrected, that the charges for them, under any system of rating for insurance pur- poses, are necessarily and properly high.

MIDNIGHT BLAZE DE
 sTROYS STOCK OF GOODS
Store of Wylie X Hendrix East Elm Street Burned at Midnight Last
 Night. Stock Almost
 Completely Ruined.

Shortly after twelve o'clock last ,;obt fire was discovered in the gen oral merchantile establishment of Wvle X Hendrix and while it had not rained much headway it was impos- s;ble to extinguish it without doing considerable damage.
 Evidently the fire was caused by a defect in the hue or stove pipe. This companv used coal for fuel and from the appearance of the interior of the building the fire started at the fiue.
 The fire boys responded promptly to the alarm and within few minutes had two streams of water playing on the inside of the building <nd the blaze was confined strictly to the rear of the store room. The water, how ever, did great damage to the stock.
 Messrs. Wylie X Hendrix carried sS.OO0.00 insurance and there stock is estimated at about $5,000.00. The building is owned by c. c. Hamby and is considerably damaged. Mir. Hamby had the building insured.

COUNTY JUDGES HAVE
 NO DISCRETION Cannot Refuse to Appoint County Health Officer Arbitrarily and Without Cause-Must Give Valid Reason for Action

County Judges have no discretion in allowing fees prescribed by the act creating the State Board of Health, in the opinion of Attorney Gen. Moose. This will be of especial importance to Crawford and Sebastian counties where the county judges have refused to recognize the authority of the County Health Officers.
 In an opinion delivered at the re quest of State Health Officer Morgan Smith, Gen. Moose holds that the act of 1913 authorizes the appointment of local registrars and the payment of their fees for making certificate of births and deaths, and forwarding the lists to the state registrar. ''I see no reason why this section is not consti- tutional and valid," says Gen. Moose.
 He holds that the law is in effect in Sharp county, or elsewhere, where the question has arisen, whether the coun- ty judge has approved the appoint ment of the county health officer or not.
 'Nor do l think the county judge, " says he, "has the discretion to refuse to appoint county health officer ar bitrarily and without cause. If the county judge should refuse to approve an appointment by the State Board of Health, he should give valid reason, for it and show that the appointee was incompetent or did not possess the character and qualifications re- quired in such an officer. I do not think that the county judge would have the discretion to disallow the fee of the registrar who had been regu- larly appointed under the act and who has performed the services pertaining to that office.''

PIKE COUNTY
 DIAMOND FIELDS
Averaged 20 Carats To The Hun dred Loads According To
 State Officials Report.

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-John T. Fuller, consulting engineer of the Arkansas Bureau of Mines. Manufactures and Agriculture, has prepared and published in the Engineering and Mining Journal a review of the Arkan- sas Diamond Field in 1913.
 MT. Fuller estimates that there has been a total of about ST. 900 worth of diamonds found in the Pike county field since the original discovery. The diamond bearing earth that has been worked has yielded an average of 20 carats to the one hundred loads, while the South African fields yield from , to 50 carats, so that it may be seen the Ark ansas average is we'll up with that of the older and more eel ebrated field. There have been probably half a dozen blue white stones of the first water found in Pike county, worth $200 a car at. While the greater number of stones are worth about ten cents a carat.
 "The work done in 1913 in the Arkansas Diamond Field," says Mir. Fuller, showed more pro- gress toward the ultimate de- velopment of this field than any previous year since it's discov- cry. Active operations have been carried on during the year by the Ozark Mining Co. and the Kimberlite Diamond Mining and Washing Co.,

Moose Opinion Causes Con-
 ment.

The publication of the attorney generals opinion was the general subject of conversation here Thursday and was variously re- garded as to what weight, if any, it would have. The prohibition leaders say that they will con- tinue the contest and that no importance attaches to the opin- ion of the attorney general any more than any other lawyer.
 On the other hand, the appli- cants for license viewed the O. pinion as strongly favoring them in the present contest. The hearing of the Newport peti- tions will open before Judge Coe next Wednesday,, January 28. The costs of the contest are to be borne by each side and it is probable that several days and perhaps a week will be consum- ed before the court finally pass es upon the petitions.
