 The grange fair held last Saturday and favored with fine weather was successful to point even beyond the brightest expectations of those having the matter in charge. Such signal success in an event distinctly ap- propriate to grange organization is surely encouraging and should lead to other steps in this, the right direction. The idea has now passed beyond an experimental stage, and next year parents and townspeople will heartily cooperate with the grange in aiding the children toward even greater efforts in a pursuit so clearly beneficial to our young people. And. while the fair was arranged more especially with view toward giving the boys and girls an oppor- tunity to exhibit and receive prizes on their produce and flowers, the grown ups also responded cordially to the invitation to exhibit results of their more mature efforts. In this way there were added to the display many fine specimens of produce in all

.PARAGOULD CASE USED AS A TEST

The Fort Smith American of Sat urday has the following story con- cerning the legality of an ordinance recently passed to levy a license up- on jitneys operating between Fort Smith and Van Buren,:
 'City Attorney Harry P Daley received from the clerk of the Ar kansas supreme court, Wednesday, copy of the courts decision in the case of Mcdonald vs. the City of Paragould wherein the court decid- ed last Monday that a jitney car that did not cOnfine it's operations solely and exclusively within the corporate limits of a city was not liable to municipal license. From newspaper accounts of the decision the city attorney had about come to the conclusion that the decision voided the Fort Smith ordinance that killed the Fort Smith-Van Blu ren jitney traffic because it pro- vided for the indemnifying bonds from the operators.
 "In the hopes of assuring himself as to whether he was right or wrong MT. Daley telegrapheG the court clerk to immediately forward a copy of the ruling, but after reading and considering the decision the city at torney says he is unable to state what effect the decree has on the bond ordinance here. Mcdonald was prosecuted under a city ordi- nance and not under any state stat ute, a fact which makes the case

 WHACK AT HAYS

From Mena Star: The Ouachita Baptist association, which recently held it's annual session in Mena, condemns the too free use of the pardoning power as practiced by governors of Arkansas the past few years, and especially the pardoning of persons convicted of violations of the liquor laws.
 The resolutions follow:
 Resolved, That the Ouachita Bap- tist association condemns the too free use of the pardoning power vested in the governor of the state of Arkansas, as exercised during the past few years and especially do we condemn the pardoning of per sons convicted by the courts of vio- lations of the liquor laws. Be it further
 Resolved, That we request our present chief executive to withhold the exercise of such power in all cases of violations of the laws against the sale of intoxicants, ex- cept in cases where the very ex- ceptional circumstances of the case appear to justify clemency, and be it further
 Resolved, That we especially commend our present local execu- tive officers for their diligent eff forts and the success of these in suppression of the clandestine sale of intoxicating liquors.
 Resolved, further, That the clerk of this association be instructed to furnish a copy of these resolutions to Governor George w. Hays and copies to the local papers for publi- cation.
