A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of COM
panionship. civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship. God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years Of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage. thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned divine covenant, and as q
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that 1t IL q
dangerous thing to debase woman BY
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes on the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

DAIRYMEN E I|lI PROPOSED MILK
 INSPECTION LAW
Council Defers Action on Measure Because Board of
 Health Not Represented.

Had the city board of health been represented at the meeting of the city council last night, the belief is held that the. proposed milk inspection ordinance would have been satsfac- torily amended and placed on the city's law books
 This belief is based upon the reso- lutions adopted few days ago by about 9 of the dairymen who supply the city of Pine Bluff which resolu- tions urge few changes in the ordl- nance which are believed to b. ac- ceptable to the councilmen and the board of health members.
 That the dairymen who signed the resolution favor the adoption of system of inspection of milk, dairies and COWS, appeared to surprise some of the members of the council, al- though there were others present at the council meeting last night who have known all along that these dairymen favored such measure, as protecting the honest dairyman.
 The resolution mentions the several chnages urged by the dairymen ln the ordinance as now pending before the council, and concludes that al though there are a number of para graphs in the ordinance which Will mean a considerable expense to the dairymen, for installation of new building and apparatus, still no ob- lection would be made to such para graphs, the dairymen asking only that the council allow reasonable time for such changes and apparatus to be made and installed.
 The two features to which the dairymen object particularly, are the tax which is termed unfair in that it is 9 tax upon the honest dairyman to protect the public from the dis honest dairyman; and the section which demands that the milk shall be kept at a temperature of not more than 60 degrees, the dairy men clalm- ing that this section is virtually inn practical except. at cost which Will become prohibitive. Two other changes, almost. strictly technical, are also proposed By the dalrymen.
 Farm Demonstration Agent (. IL. Thomas. at the request of the dairy men. read the resolution and explain. ed the points involved. It was brought out plainly that the dalrymen favor the inspection ordinance after the several amendments proposed, have been made effective, and MT. Thomas stated to the council that the proposed amendments have been found acceptable by Dr. A. G. Thomp- son. president of the board of health, except the amendment which piopos- ed to eliminate the tax on darymen.
 q understand, MT. Thomas, that the dairymen feel the city should stand the expense of the salary Of the inspector, if this ordinance be- comes a law, instead of making the darymen pay the tax for that pur- pose?' asked Mayor Bloom.
 "Yes. sir,' replied MT. Thomas. That is one of the principal obJec- lions to the ordinance. The other IS the matter of maintaining the temper ature of the milk, which cannot be done unless the milk is kept on ice, and that is virtually an imposslblllty, except at great cost, which would increase the price of milk.

START AT ONCE
 DEEPENING RIVER
Two Dredges to Be Put to Work, and Snagboats Will
 Follow in Their Wake.

Work of deepening and maintain- ing channel in the Arkansas riv r between Little Rock and the Niis- sissippi, will be started at once, ac- cording 10 announcense nt made at the office Of the engineer in charge, at Little Rock.
 1t was officially stated day or two ago that the allotment of funds from the blanket appropriation made by the recent session of congress, had been completed and the money is now available. Because of the high water stages then prevailing in the Arkansas river, nothing was done to start the work. but now that the river has reached it's normal again, actual operations are likely to start any day
 The dredge boats, two of which arc Aow in the Arkansas river, will most likely make the start at the work, to deepen channel As they progress, the snagboats will be put in operation, and the vessels will all be kept continuously employed until June 90, 1916, at the earliest, is the appropriation will cover that period. IA balance from previous appropria- tions is also held, which will likely also be used in meeting expenses at tached ot the work

Below Pine Bluff there has been no Interruption to tho service, although at several points there are bars which make neces- Eary the greatest skill on the part of masters and pilots of the boats.
