 That the fight against hog cholera that is being waged in Arkansas by sity of Arkansas and the United States Department of Agriculture, CO., operating, is becoming more effective every day and that it has resulted in the saving of thousands of dollars for the Arkansas farmers and stockmen, is shown in a recent statement of Dr. J. E.. Gibson, veterinary field agent of the federal bureau of animal industry, who has just completed his first year of work in the great cru sade against hog cholera in this state.
 "I have just completed my first years work in Arkansas, said Dr. Gibson, "and have been cooperating with the extension division of the Uni versity of Arkansas in an effort 10 arouse the farmers of Arkansas to the necessity of controlling hog cholera, a disease that is levylng an annual toll of approximately $2,000,000 in Ar kansas alone, and while the results obtained are not all that may have been aesired or hoped for, a careful study of the following figures will show that remarkable strides have been made toward controlling the disease"
 During the period from January to October 31, this year, Dr. Gibson has travelled in Arkansas 16,574 miles, and has visited 56 counties. He has talked to 7,552 people at 13S different points in the state. At 14 of these meetings his talks have been illustrat- ed by stereopticon views. At Fl points demonstrations for the proven tive treatment for hog cholera have been given.
 Tn Dr. Gibson's report to his depart ment at Washington he says that at these public demonstrations for pre- ventive treatment 51S hogs were treat ed before 1923 persons, 12S of whom were given individual instructions and placed in a position to properly administer the treatment to their own hogs.

while the Dublin custom house, in both form and situation, corresponds in striking degree to St. Paul's cathedral
 Then there is Dublin castle, the seat of the vice-regal government that irks the nationalist spirit of Ireland. beneficent and moderately wise though it is today. St. James palace is cas- fly it's prototype in the visitors mind. The central courtyard, entered through massive stone archways, give upon what are monarchically called the state apartments and also upon the headquarters of the two-score of gov erning boards under whose overseer- ship the spirit of Ireland is restive.
 Scotch Walk Belfast Streets.
 Polsast is a secured and Puritanized Lawrence cy, Paterson, with Scotch men and women walking it's streets in their early and late tramp, tramp, to and from mill and shipyard. Dub lin is a precautionary Boston-like Boston, English in street names and much like Boston, to be sure, in the character of the largest element in it's population. Like, yet unlike, for the transplanting has made some radical changes in human qualities. The American visitor to Dublin will find it less Irish, as he thinks, than Bos- ton herself, while the English stranger in Boston would find us more Irish than even Dublin. This is cryptic remark which only those who know will understand. Dublin is a softer, quieter Boston of 1914, with General Gage in authority and relocated Brit ish sentries stationed about her pub lie buildings and government offices.
 This, then, is the way it appeals to the sojourner-these rival, jealous cities of whose people Belfast folk say pharisaically that "oil and water can never mix Dublin represents the warm heart of nation. Belfast is it's hand-a dexterous pairs of hands, if you will. One hopes this red hand of Ulster" will not again be bloody hand. The chill winds that sweep across Diyis mountain and Cave hill, the bare, bleak eminences that rise behind the northern city. are driv- ing stimulus to labor aud the getting of gain. The soft airs of the valley of the Liffey, environed as it is by the hazy mountains at little dis tanee to south and east. are relaxing and tend to moderation.

lin, often referred to in disparaging terms, is likely to prove an agreeable surprise to the traveller. She has slums, yes, some very squalid ones, and they force themselves upon the visitors notice as aggressively as the slums of Edinburgh at the lower end of High street. If one stays but a day in Dublin one is likely to go away with an unfavorable impression of the place. If he stays while and allows the early impressions to be effaced and their place taken by pleasant ones, he will judge the city more fair Iy. If one were to stay year and make some strong and certainly de- lightful attachments, he is bound to be sorry at the leave-taking and will ever regard the city on the Liffey with tender affection.
 Homes of the Irish Capital.
 The homes of Dublin are it's glory. Go out Donnybrook way, or north in the Phoenix park neighborhood, or south to the region about Harold's cross, and you will find street after street of stately Queen Anne houses that suggest for all the world the Mayfair region of London; while the modern villas that form a wider circle about the city-charming cottages with gardens, and ample homes cf rretty design and having plots of bright flowers in their front yards recall the pleasant suburbs of the progressive American cities of the Dliddle West Then the public build tngs. Belfast's boast is it's city hall. Once the stranger has his grip un- splendid structure. It is undeniably line. But one could almost wish that the Belfast people had spread their variegated marbles about the city rather than concentrated all this ele- gance on one spot. The citys bare, cold churches might have been bright sned, both architecturally and in their creeds, by an esthetic touch here and there, while the public librarys s brown baroness would have been relieved by a dash of the rich bright colors which the city hall could readily have spared

 arated the capitals of any two continental countries. The outward aspects of the cities, the spirit and ideals of their people, the predominant religious sects, the attainments, all are distinctly contrasting. You won't like Dublin; it's a d-a-rty place" was the prediction of a Belfast woman. But the warning did not prove to be justified. The fact is, I liked Dublin very much better than I liked Belfast, which, to be sure, was very little, w. P Conant writes in the Spring field (Mass) Republican.
 Outwardly, the cities are entirely dissimiliar, though their natural set ting is very like. Belfast is a great monotony of red brick, scarcely re- lieved throughout the succession of it's long, unlovely streets by any ar tistic touches or show of architectural appreciation. Its wildness of bare fronted houses are hardly distin- guishable from the linen factories, which in many cases, occupy parts of the same block, and are designated only by a small brass plate that sets forth the firms name.
 Belfast boasts that she has no slums. She also has no conspicuously fine streets of houses that are distin- guished by esthetic taste or architec- tural excellence. Mostly, her regular blocks have the plain, bare features of barracks. On the other hand, Dub

Two state fair associations in Ar kansas, with charters permitting them to conduct the same kind of fairs, seems probable since the announces ment that Hot Springs will not relin- quish to Little Rock the State Fair Association charter. County Judge Joe Asher said that if the charter of the association at Hot Springs cannot be used by Little Rock assoc alton, another charter may probably be se- cured if Little Rock decides to hold state fair here It will only be necessary to use different name
 We have been told since Hot Springs decided to hold no state fair in 1915, that the charter would be re- linquished to Little Rock if this city desired to put on fair here. How ever, if the members of the Hot Springs association do not relinquish their charter. it will not affect state fair in Little Rock. A charter may be secured under another association name which will give the right to put on state fair if desired.
 Tt has been said that Hot Springs, if it relinquishes it's charter to Little Rock, would want the latter city to assume the debt of the present asso- citation. This I don't think would be done by new association.
 The State Fair Association decided several months ago to limit its fair to an agricultural exhibit much small Ter than at any time since it's organi- zation. It was said that the state fair did not pay because no outside assist ance could be secured and that Hot Springs did not get the support by at tendance that it should have.
