 The indictments were returned by the grand jury under law which went into effect January l, 1914, pro- hibiting the soliciting of liquor busi- ness in prohibition territory, and the later opinion of the Texas attorney general to the effect that 1t was violation of this law for newspapers existing in such prohibited territory to carry liquor advertising.
 The outsome of the case will be watched by many citizens who are be- lievers in prohibition, as it will prob- ably be used in the courts as test case to prove the validity and scope of the law.
 MT. Palmer, in a statement issued after his arrest, declared he could not understand why he had been singled out as the victim of the law, as he in- sists there are many other papers in various parts O. the state which are also running liquor advertisements.
 Declaring his inability to run newspaper without the support of this class of business, he said: The in- come from this business is an import ant part of our revenue, in fact metropolitan paper such as the Four States Press could not be maintained in city the size of Texarkana with out it."

 Tn all of my travels said Dr. McBrien, ''I have seen no better edu- cational work than is being done at the State Normal School. The faculty is a first-class one, and works in har- mony with the student body, accom- plishing splendid results. No opportu- nity ought to be lost in letting the people know just what is being done at this great school. It has imperative needs, however, which ought to be met by the state. The proposed new nam building and new dormitories for both girls and boys are necessary be fore the school car -2ally fulfill It's mission.''

 T look upon the Arkansas river val ley in Arkansas as the most promising oil field yet developed" stated Prof. Perdue. There are portions of the valley where the prospects are very fine, and though Ozark is a very good prospect, it is nothing like some others 1 have in mind
 Tt was my intention before leaving Arkansas to print report showing the oil lands of the state, but Governor Donaghey vetoed the item of $7,500 ap- propriated for the work, and the peo pie have been deprived of it's bene fits"
 Going further into the oil discussion, Prof. Pardue stated that the prospects begin at Fort Smith, and come all the way down the river He thinks it will be only short time until oil claims have been secured on most of this land and that the entire valley will be covered with derricks erected by oil prospectors.

 The property was deeded to the Chamber of Commerce by Judge Asher in connection with the million dollar campaign of the commercial organlza- tion.
