r,,sntv Eight Bills From House Read r;rst and Second Times-Dis- cuss Sawyer Fair Commis-
 s;on Bill and POsey Bill.

1;+tle Rock, Feb. 17.-Three dis ...b;nc elements unsettled the com ~o,ure of the all serene Senate Tues i,v afternoon, the Hot Springs State Fair Commission bill escaping inde- finite postponement by a vote of IA to 20; the Posey Convent inspection hill overcoming the objection and go- mo to q second reading by vote of oo to TO- but failing in an effort to be made a special order, though winning ont again over it's opponents, who soucht to send it to the Cities and Towns Committee going to the Tenn narance committee instead; and the yerper constitutional convention bill which was rejected after the first reading, by vote of 23 to 10.
 lust to show how it can work when it gets right down to business, the Senate took up every bill brought over from the House and read them a first and second time. Twenty eight bills were dealt with in this manner after which the Senate passed three House bills just to fill in the time.
 The discussion of the Sawyer fair commission bill in the afternoon ses- sion was brief. It was pretty thor oughly threshed out in the forenoon session, and there was nothing left in the afternoon but the vote on the in- definite postponement, Senator Cab mess yielding part of his time to Senator's Toler and Bush, for the clos ing under motion for "previous question" which limited the debate to 30 minutes.
 As soon as the motion indefinitely postpone had been so decisively de- feated, the Moore of Phillips motion to refer to the Agriculture commit tee was renewed, to be substitutd with motions for reference to other com mittees, but the opposition subsided and 1t was SO referred to be taken up Tn public hearing Thursday night.

SEARCY COUNTY NOW
 IS DECLARED DRY" "rand Jury Finds That Majority Against Granting License Was 29. Issues License for Sa-
 looms at Gilbert.

Marshall, Feb 16.-That Searcy county voted against granting saloon licenses by 29 votes in the general election last September, was the re- port ot the Grand Jury, made in Cir cut court this morning. The jury was called upon to investigate charg- es of fraud in the compilation of the vote on the question of granting li- censes. The jury found that no fraud had been committed, but that an CT TOT had been made in counting the vote.
 1t was at first announced that the county had voted against granting li cense. However, at a hearing in County Court on January 1. the sa- ioonlsts produced evidence tending to show that errors had been made in counting the vote. The county judge decided that misake had been made and that the county had voted for li- cense. He then granted a license for a saloon at Gilbert.
 The prohibitionists appealed to Chancery Court and Chancellor Hum phries at a hearing at Eureka Springs recently gave the prohibitionists per mission to amend proof and fixed the hearing for the March term of Chan cery Court. No steps have yet been taken to close the saloon at Gilbert.

Senate Considered Unusual Humber
 of Bills Yesterday---Fur Flies

The fur then flew and bills were read so rapidly that the journal clerk took on dropped shoulders trying to keep off the avalanche. A sudden check came when the Posey bill was read. Objection was made to a sec and reading. This was defeated on q two thirds vote and the bill read a second time. The vote was:-
 Ayes-Ashley, Bush, Cabness. Car ter, Davenport, Duty, Edmondson, Ferguson, Garrett, Greenhouse, Ham, ilton, Kendall, Mccall, Overman, Slaughter, Smith, of Columbia, Toler Vann, Wagner, White, Lundy-21. Nays:-Adamson, Burgess. Calvert, Going, Harris, Jones, Moore, Smith of Union.-10.
 The proponents of the bill then made an effort to have the bill made a special order for Friday, but they failed 15 to 14, a two thirds vote being necessary. The bill was then sent to the Temperance committee, winning 14 to 12 over the Cities and Towns Committee. The Temperance committee is favorable to the bill. while the members of the other com mittee were not.
 After the Yerger constitutional amendment bill had been read, a mo- tion was made by Senator Edmond son to indefinitely postpone, but this was ruled out of order as the bill >had been read but once. The bill was then read a second time and rejected on motion of Senator Going, Senators Adamson, Calvrt, Carter, Edmondson Ferguson, Harris, Ruff, Slaughter, and Smith of Columbia voting against the motion, and Senators Futrell and Jones being out of the room at the time and not voting.
 The bills passed by the Senate Tues day afternoon were those creating the Almyra special school district, Arkansas county; road improvement district No. ', Jefferson county; and the Gray bill requiring corporations to pay for sand and gravel and oils taken from lakes and navigable streams of the State.

TEACHING BY RHYME
New York Evening Post
Moving-picture shows at nigh

Moving picture shows at night.
 Are good for neither mind nor sight
 These lines illustrate an education al theory that has not been prominent in modern pedagogy. the theory that a pound of rhyme is worth a ton of argument. Cleveland kindergartners however, are now testing it, with what they declare to be excellent re suits. 1t is all a matter of aSsocia- tion of ideas. The moment a properly trained person sees a motionpicture sign. into his or her mind pops the warning jingle, and both mind and sight are saved The captious may ask why these shows are worse at night than in the afternoon. To this criticism there are doubtless many perfect answers One sufficient reply is that "afternoon" does not make very good rhyme with sight to say nothing of the metre. The peril is that the efficacy of the jingle meth cd of training will be so plain that great pressure will be brought to bear upon school boards to write into the curriculum rhymes for an against this. that and the other thing, until the children have no time for the oth- ar R's.

Poy Scout Training a School

The lessons Boy Scouts learn in their
troops are doing them more good than
those which they learn in school. Is
the opinion expressed by the Rt Rev.
Philip NJ Rhinelander, Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of Pennsyl-
vania, in letter to Dr. Charles D. Hart.
chairman of the Executive Scout Council.
The letter reads:
Dear Doctor Hart:
l am very glad to take this opportunity
of expressing my cordial approval of
the Boy Scout movement in this coun-
try, and my hearty commendation of the
great work for the boys that has already
been accomplished by this admirable or
ganization. / know no other movement
on behalf of boys which seems TO be so
wisely directed and so effective in pro-
ducing good results. Competent observ-
ers have not hesitated to tell me that
in their opinion very many of our boys
are getting more good, both morally and
intellectually, out of the Boy Scouts than
they get out of their schools. l am in
clined TO think that this is very largely
true. am quite sure that the Boy
Scouts deserve the cordial support of all
onr citizens who have the training OF
the younger generation at heart. You
can always rely on me to give you any
assistance that l can in this great work.
Faithfully yours,

ACTUAL COOKING IN CAMP
Rv T. l.. TIERNEY
Director of Camp Peuua.
TThis Is the third Of series Of articles on

TThis Is the third Of a series Of articles or
cooking bU Mr. TterneUl
AS stated in a previous article, this
division of the general subject of cook
ing is the hardest to impart and GER
tainly the hardest to do, and do well.
My first suggestion in connection with
this part of the subject would be care
full watChfulness and "watchful wait
ing: and II is as applicable to cooking
as to a delicate political situation. 1t
requires the undivided attention of the
cook to the actual cooking IL he hopes to
place before his comrades n well-cooked
meal.
Perhaps one of the mistakes most
often made, especially by beginners, Is
to place all of the various articles for
the meal on the fire at the same time,
regardless of the length of time required
for each to cook and as n consequence
part of the meal becomes cold before
the rest is ready For instance, If you
were going to have potatoes and beets
for the same meal, the beets should
go on the fire at least an hour to an
hour and half before the potatoes.
If you were going to have potatoes and
cTeamed beef the potatoes should be
cooking Is to 90 minutes before you start
the beef.
In other words, IT Is up to the cook to
learn tho length of time required to cook
each and every article and then plan his
cooking accordingly.
Learn to gauge the heat required for
different foods. Some require intense
heat and to be cooked rapidly; others,
moderate heat and to be cooked slowly.
See that the heat Is distributed evenly
over the surface of the pan or kettle.
Some articles require to be covered
while cooking; others do not
Some vegetables are better for being
cooked in several waters; for instance,
onions and cabbage unless very young.
The amount of grease used in frying
often determines the palatableness of an
article of food. Fried potatoes are often
spoiled by too much grease.
Seasoning food Is another very impor-
tant point in coolSing-to learn to gauge
the amount of salt, pepper, etc, required
is one of the most difficult things. 1t Is
also necessary to know when to season,
Some articles require the seasoning as
soon as put on the fire, or before; others
do not require 1t until nearly cooked. For
instance putting salt in the kettle when
boiling new corn has a tendency to
tougher the vegetable. Some persons put
the salt in just before removing the corn.
Personally. l like to leave the season.
ing of new corn until 1t is to be eaten.
Most of the vegetables can be cooked,
nearly or quite done, before adding the
salt.
