V Visart, Federal game inspector
Memphis hunters who have been In
the habit of killing game T. this state
have found that several obstacles now
are in the way to make their practice
come within the pale OF the law.
The Supreme Court last spring de.
clared a special law allowing ship

unconstitutional, and also held that
members of hunting clubs IN the Biz

Mr. Visart says there 's a misun
derstanding relative to the game re-
fuge established by the government in
the Big Lake district known as the
Big Lake Reservation. Many persons
have been under the imp ession that
the reserve was established only -
prevent the slaughter OF domestic
game, and that migratory birds stOp-
ping on the reserve would not he
protected under the reservation laws.
No hunting, trapping, killing or dis
turbing of any birds OF whatever spe-
cies will be allowed on the reserve
The reserve is about eleven miles long
and ranges in width from onequarter
of mile TO four miles. Il is one Of
the favorite haunts Of wild duck and

A Large Quantity Of Machinery Was
Destroyed Also a Large Amount
Of Gun Stocks That Were to Be
Shipped to the Allies.


It was learned that local officers
who are investigating the burning Of
the plant of the Searcy Spoke and
Felloe Company believe tie building
was set on fire by a German sym
pathizer.
Recently the owner, S. H. Wright
received a large order for manufactur-
ing walnut gun stocks for the allies
armies The plant burned under cir.
cumstances that leave no doubt that
it was set on fire, according to the Of
ficers.
officers say they have good reason
to suspect a German who lett this vi
cinity under mysterious Gircum,
stances Immediately after the fire,
Thus far, they have been unable to
locate him. They believe the man was
working under orders from someone
higher up.
Mr.. Wright estimates his loss at
$500, with less than one-third OF
that amount insurance. The main
plant was 40 by 140 feet. A large guam
tity of machinery was destroyed and
in addition to the gun stocks, a large
amount of vehicle spokes ard felloes
was burned.

Wright had considerably increased his
force and many men are thrown out
Of work as a result of the fire.

roots of other plants.
The Jack-in-the-Pulpit is shame
less kidnaper His beautiful pulpit
has a slippery, treacherous lining.
When gnats and other small insects
enter in search of shelter and food,
they easily slide to the bottom, whence
escape is impossible. Here at the bot
tom of the pulpit may be found the
corpses of many wanderers, all kid
naped by the Reverend Jack!
The pitcher plant is another kidnap-
er, but in its case it is the leaves that
are guilty.
There are plants that lure rats and

PLANTS THAT MURDER

There are plants that are murderers,
kidnapers, advertisers, explorers and
Btorekeepers. The moccasin flower Is
a wanton murderer. Its flowers are
so shaped as to lure ants and other
wingless insects to them. Once inside
they have no chance to escape. There
they stay, struggling until they starve
to death Some orchids, while not
considered insect eaters, undoubtedly
draw a certain amount of nourishment
from the decayed bodies of their in
sect prey. Many other flowers trap
insects, which they kill and gradually
digest as food.
Indian Pipes are robbers and graft.

MT. VERNON.

The past week has been busy one with all here. Cotton has begun to move and about 50 bales have been bought by our merchants, who are paying 12 IA to 12 1-2 cents for it, and $20 up for seed. These prices ook good to us. The crop will no doubt be short one. Real early and late crops are the shortest.

The recital given fast evening by the conservatory faculty of Central College was indeed rare treat for those present. Each number render ed displayed the unusual ability and artistic temperament of the artist.
 Central College and Conway cltl- zens are fortunate to have in thelr midst such a musician as Hugh Rl- nout. the director of the conservatory. His interpretation of the numbers he rlaved was both intelligent and ar tistic. He plays with strength ana frmness, yet with perfect ease or manner. His most brilliant number and possibly the most enjoyed by the audience was the Norwegian Peas- ants March by Grieg.
 Miss Bodemann has voice o1 re- markable pure clear quality. her numbers showed variety of style glV- inc opportunity for interpretation as well as technique. All of her num- bers were appreciated, but she eX- called in the difficult number, With Verdure Clad," from "The Creatlon' by Hayden.
 Miss Wilson's playing showed ex- cellent technique and accuracy. She displaved unusual brilIancy and depth in her Interpretation ot the Chopin Ballad. The characteristic "Japanese Etude,'' by Poldlnl was most enthusiastically received.
 Miss Surmann greatly pleased her audience with her violin. The tone quality in Legende by Bohm and the delightful rythm of Schon Rosmarle bv Kreisler at once proved her to be 9 real artist. Her most difficult num- her was the "Polonaise,' by VieuX- temps, which she rendered with splen- e1a1 did interpretation and depth of feel ing.
 The audience was most unusual both innumber and in appreciation
