THE CLOTHlERS
RULING ON EIGHT
HOUR LABOR LAW
Opinion Handed Down by Attorney
Generals Department on the
important Measure.

County Attorney Lamar Bethea re-
Gently requested from the Attorney
Generals Department at Austin an
opinion on the eight hour labor law,
and was furnished the following copy
of the ruling which had already been
made upon request of Labor Commits
sioner Startling:
Eight Hour Law-To What Persons
and Work ApplicabIe-chapter
90, Acts of 1918.
Austin, Tex, June II, 1913.
Mr.. j. A. Startling, Labor Commits
sioner, Capitol.
Dear Sir-We have your request for
a construction of the eight hour law
passed by the Thirty-third Legislature
with reference to its application to
persons and to classes OF work.
Section l of the act declares that
eight hours shall constitute a days
work for all laborers, workmen or
mechanics now employed or who may
hereafter be employed by or on be-
half of the State of Texas or by or on
behalf of any county, municipality or
political subdivision of the State,
county or municipality in any one
calendar day where such employment,
contract work is for the purpose of
constructing, repairing or improving
buildings bridges, roads, highways,
streams, levees or other work of a
similar character.
AS to the character of work to
which the provisions of section / are
applicable, it is plain that the work
done must be "for the purpose of con-
structing, repairing or improving
buildings, bridges, roads, highways
streams, levees or other work of a
similar character
1t is true that the caption OF the
act declares its purpose to be to fix
the number of hours that shall con-
stitute legal days work on all work
being performed by or on behalf Of
the State of Texas or by or on behalf
of any county, municipality or other
legal or political subdivision of said
State 1t is manifest that the cap
ton of the act is broader than it's
body; this may or may not constitute
a material discrepancy between the
caption and the body of the act, but
with this question in this connection
we have nothing to do. This being a
penal statute, we must look to the
absolute provision of the body of the
act, and its application cannot be eX-
tended beyond the express or neces-
sarily implied purport of such pro
visions.
As to the persons against whom the
| provisions of the act are applicable,
it is clear that the provisions OF the
act apply to any officer or agent OF
the State, county, municipality or pc.

Comptroller Lane gives as one of
the reasons why he will not trot with
the eliminators, that he does not wish
to help create another party within
the Democratic party. The Waco
Tribune says the action of the elimi-
majors reads them out of the Demo-
cratic party. The whole thing seems
to be in pretty much of a mess. The
Waco Times-Herald offers the best
suggestion we have seen, and that is
that the Democratic party quit shilly-
shallying and come out in a clear-cut
expression on the subject of prohibi-
ton.

1t certainly is sufficient occasion for
swelling, especially when it is the
fruition of long years of hope and

The editor has been out of town
week and the vast amount Of public
work done during our absence has
wrought a change that made us feel
as If we were coming back to a
strange place. Street paving, side
walk building everywhere, ornamental
lights on the court house square, new
storm sewers, etc, are just a few of
the things that have made the change.

PANAMA EXPOSITION EXHIBITS

The farmers of Arkansas are securing much benefit from the tour of the State by c. s. Bowden and L. A. Markham, who are gathering exhibits for the State exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Mir. Bowden is one of Arkansas most progressive horticulturalists, and has made a success of his own orchard before going out to tell others how it should be done. MT. Markham was for many years a government expert, and later served as agricultural com missioner for the Iron Mountain railroad, being forced to retire on account of his health. Both are considered the best in their lines in the Southwest, and when they are looking over the exhibits, are able to tell the grower how he may increase his yield, avoid pests and diseases, and increase his in- come in the coming year. They have gathered the finest lot of exhibits ever gotten together in Arkansas, so the State may ex- pect many prizes at the big ex- position.

FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF THE
 DEMONSTRATION AGENT

T. J. Nicely, demonstration agent for Perry county, reports that G. c. McCabe, of Casa, has 75 acres of corn on mountain val ley land that yield between thirty and forty bushel per acre. The land was broken about seven in- ches deep last December, harrow ed well and rebroken in the spring, The crop was planted level, and when the corn was 8 or 4 inches high was given two deep cultivations. Afterwards it was ;ultivate K times with geewliz cultivate IS, keeping the land level and maintaining dust mulch. Other contiguous fields on the same kind of land, but old methods of cultivation will yield about ten bushels per acre and many acres did not even make shoots for ears. MT. Meade has eight acres of cotton planted 3x3 feet and cultivated in the same manner as his corn that promises to yield a bale to the acre.

TWO CROPS OF CORN ON THE
 SAME LAND,

Agent David Thibault of Jack son county, reports that E. E. Murphy near Grubbs, in that county, has produced two crops of corn on the same land this season. The first planting took place between 10th and 18th of April. The resultant crop was cut and shocked the first week in July. The ears are sound and well filled out. The second planting was made July 10. On October 6 mature ears were found in the field. The variety planted was a hopeless mixture of Hickory King, St. Charles White and Reid's Yellow dent for the first and a greatly mixed yellow corn for the second. No germination tests of these corns have made but both crops appear to be perfectly matured. This is a striking illustration of the wonderful possibilities of good farming on Arkansas soils.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.

With the Chicago and St. Louis stock yards closed the past week, receipts at Kansas City have been greater than formerly, 34, 900 ar irving. Killing grades sold free ly at steady to 25 cents lower prices, COWS selling nearest steady except that canning grades were neglected, packers concentrating their operating fa- cilities on getting out dressed beef.
 Stockers and feeders found a restricted outlet and prices are 30 to 75 cents under a week ago. Shippers in the country are ad- vised to keep stockers and feed CTS at home for a time. So soon as the quarantine in Illinois, Iowa and other states affected is raised there will be better market on them.
 The feature on Monday was the sale of Gilbert Barr short horns, which were being pointed for exhibition in the American Royal show. As the show has been declared off, the cattle were sold on the market that day at $10.75, weighing 1885 pounds average, crossing $208 a head, a record for this market. Other good steers sold at $10.40, year lings at $10, and short-fed steers at $8.25 to $9.40. Panhandle and Colorado killing steers sold $6.50 to $7 9; stockers and feed CTS lower, some panhandle stock calves at $7, which were worth $7.75 a week ago, and Colorado feeders at S6.40, considered worth $7 week ago. Quaran- tine arrivals were liberal and sold in line with cattle in native division, best steers $6.25 to SIPS, canning grades dull.
 Receipts of hogs were 18,000 head, market 10 to 15 cents high CT. Order buyers purchased 5000 hogs early, paying the full advance before packers started, but the market continued active to the close, packers participat- ing in the higher prices paid. Top price was s7.90, at which price a number of loads of all weights sold, bulk of sales $7. 40 to $7.90.
 Sheep receipts were 1000 with market weak on some early sales, but the close was steady. Lambs brought $e, others around $8.75; fat yearlings $7, ewes $6. Feeding stock is quiet, but is a quarter higher than week ago. Lambs bring $6.50 to $7.25. Prospects favor a good sheep and lamb market for some days to come, particularly on fat grades.
