Fact That Germs Are Like Men.
Fayetteville

The class in dairy hacteriology at
the experiment station OF the Arkan-
sas College of Agriculture has been
counting the bacteria in the milk that
eood many Arkansas folks drink.
The results are astounding. In one
isolated cubic eentimeter of milk, a
student found 1005. 800 milk bacilli
living i'll comparative ease. In another
cubic eentimeter or Just about one
small teaSpoonfui. more than 2.000,-
600 of the little bugs were thriving in
absolute harmony with each other
These counts were made of samples
of milk bottled according to methods
recommended by scientists and ex-
pert dairymen and accordingly was as
clean as the most modern methods OF
bottling and dairying could make it.
The average coffee drinker will use
at least five cubic eentimeters OF
milk or cream in his coffee each meal.
At these figures he swallows more
than 15.000.006 of these tiny micro-or-
ganisms daily. In glass containing
about $50 cubic centimerters Of milk
a person will consume 2.503,750, 600 II
he is a heavy drinker and prefers two
glasses OF milk at each meal, in three
meals he will drink 15,022, $685. 600 ba-
eilli.

Representative Sam Rorex of Yell
county is probably the youngest man
who ever occupied the enviable posi-
ton OF majority leader in a legislative
house. He is scarcely 28 years old,
but on the floor and in debate he con-
ducts himself as one of long exper-
ience, and he has demonstrated SUI
perior ability rs an organizer and a
parl1amentarian When L. E. Sawyer
OF Garland county announced for
Speaker of the House, the first man
to declare for Sawyer was Rorex of
Yell. The two men had served to-
gether in the House two years ago
and formed an intimate acquaintance
ship and a mutual high regard for
each others ability. Mr.. Rorex, him.
self, had been mentioned by admiring
friends for the speakership but Rorex
wanted Sawyer. He believed the Gar
land county man was the best fitted
OF all the candidates to guide the
House during the sixty-day session.
when commanding personality and
force were necessary to accomplish
constructive program during a short
session. Following his election,
Speaker Sawyer recognized in Mr. Ro-
rex the man for chairman of the all
important Judiciary Commute, and for
floor leader of the majority forces in
the House. Somehow, the Yell county
member seemed to just fit into the
place, and the ability and fairness
with which he filled 1t are attested by
every member of the House
Mr.. Rorex was the author of various
important bills which passed both
houses. He put through the bill to
appropriate $4,000 for the Arkansas
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition, the bill to create Board of
Control for the State Charitable In
situations, and other administration
measures. He safely piloted the ap-
preparation bills so that at the end
of sixty days all important measures
had been disposed of and the session
died with nothing of much Importance
on the calendar.
Mr.. Rorex is comparatively young
In Arkansas politics, his first exper.
fence being in the House of 1913. He
is popular at home, and is prominent
ly mentioned as a probable candidate
for prosecuting attorney, attorney
general, or Congress. However, Ro-
rex is modest in all discussions per-
tanning to himself, and just what he
wants is unknown to his friends. AT
any rate, his friends are legion, and
1t is safe to say that he will receive
strong support for any political posi-.
ton to which he might aspire.

TO ASK STATE FOR SUPPORT
Colonel HolIenberg Says He viii
Make Appeal to All Parts of
the State.

Little Roek.-The Supreme Court or
Arkansas decided Monday that the APP
preparation by the Arkansas General
Assembly of $4,000 for the Arkansas
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific EXPOSE
ton at San Francisco is illegal, and
directs the auditor and treasurer of
state to issue and pay no warrants on
account OF this appropriation.
The decision was handed down by
Justice Hart, and was concurred in
by all the members of the court 1t
resulted from suit filed by Repre-
sentative J. c. Belote of Hot Spring
county and other members of the
House. who voted against the appro-
priation, which they claimed must
have two=thirds vote in each house
The Senate gave the bill a two-thirds
vote, but the House didn't; hence the
court holds that the appropriation is
Illegal
In announcing the result of the bal
lot in the House, Speaker Sawyer held
that the bill had carried. It lacked
I'VE votes receiving the necessary two
thirds, but Speaker Sawyer held that
inasmuch as the appropriation was
necessary to carry out the plans for
an Arkansas exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. 1t was a necessary expense of
the state government and required
therefore only a majority of the votes
cast. The Supreme Court decreed
hOWnUar 10
somewhere between the necessary and
unnecessary expenses of government,
and that the legislature had exceeded
Its right in declaring this to be a nee
essary expense; that the state had
previously through its legislature re-
fused to make an appropriation, and
any liability which may have been oc-
Cured by individuals in this case
could not involve the state.
According to Colonel Hollenberg.
the Arkansas building, one of the
finest on the grounds, has been com
pleted and is waiting to be opened
The structure was built at an actual
cost of $4,000, more than $4,000
cheaper than it could have been built
except for the aid lent 1t by the AT
Kansas Yellow Pine Manufacturers
Association, which made the reduction
as a gift to the cause
Every one who is interested in
property in this state and in the vel
fare of the state, in my opinion, should
grasp this opportunity now before
them and with ready purse offer the
amount to their full extent so that
Arkansas will make a creditable ey-
hlbit among her sister States of the
United States and that we will bene
fit largely thereby
