COUNTIES HOLDING
 SCHOOL FAIRS
Purpose is to Arouse and Main
 tain Interest in Public School WOrk-B cone County An nOunces Fourth Annual Fair.

Little Rock, July 30-J. L. Bond State Supervisor of Rural Schools has just received the catalogue and pre- mium list of the Fourth Annual School Fair of Boone county from Mrs. J. E. Andrews of Harrison, pres ident of the School Fair Association. The purpose of holding the school fairs is set forth in the constitution, being to arouse and maintain a greater interest in the public schools and public school work of the county. The fair will be held this year at Harrison Oct. 15-16, and will be the most extensive ever held in Boone county. Prizes and premiums will be given for the best work and ex- hibits from pupils and schools in lit erary contests of various kinds, in manual training, music, nature study, cooking, athletics, agriculture and horticulture, domestic art and other special subjects relative to the work of rural schools.
 According to Mir. Bond, large number of counties in the state are holding county school fairs and con- tests similar to those in Boone county and thus doing much to stimulate and vitalize the school interest in these counties. Boone county was one of the first in the state to inaugurate the school fair, and it has been an i'm portant factor in the educational work of the county. More than $500 in prizes will be given at the fair in Oc- tober. The officers are Mrs. J. F. Andrews president, Miss Mona Will liford vice-president, W. D. Jetel treasurer, and Miss May Zeigler sec retary.

Difficulty
 in Securing Statistics

Little Rock, July 30.-The Bureau of Labor has since its organization experienced great difficulty in secur- ing accurate and complete statistics of labor and it's relation to industry The commissioner has no power to force labor unions and industrial con cerns to supply the information, and in consequence only a small propor- tion of them pay any attention to the requests.
 To devise some method, uniform with other states and with the labor department of the federal govern ment is the purpose of q conference of labor commissioners to be held in San Francisco the latter part of Au- gust. It was largely the suggestion of Commissioner Clary of Arkansas that induced Secretary Wilson to cali the meeting.

innocent as you oI having murdered Herman Rosenthal or of having counseled, procured or aided in his murder or of having any knowledge of the dreadful crime"
 The alleged statements which Beck CT referred to as having been credit cd to the governor were that he had offered to plead guilty of murder in the second degree; that quoting from Beckers' letter, he had offered to give. testimony against persons (whose names are not disclosed) of having shared with me in collecting money from law-breakers"; that he had sent counsel to two men arrested for complicity in the Rosenthal mur- der, and "that with cruelty almost inconceivable, it is stated that my first wife died under circumstances war ranting suspicion that I had caused her death"
 Explains First Wife's Death
 Becker explained the death of his first wife by declaring that she had died of 'hasty consumption" and that no breath of suspicion had ever been raised against him in that connection.
 Mark well, sir, these words Of mine" the letter concluded. When your power passes, then the truth of Rosenthal's murder will become known. But not while your nominees remain district attorneys and can hold the club over these persons With the aid of judges who were misled into misconceiving the testimony offered at my trial and into misstating it both to the jury and on appeal, you have proved yourself able to destroy my life. But believe mo. l will sur render it without rancor. Not all the judges in this state nor in this country, nor the governor of this state, not the district attorney, TOT all of them combined, can destroy permanently the character of an in nocent man."

AMERICAN DELICATE
 TO ROME IN |. K.
Comes to Remain Several Days to Discuss Problem of Market ing With the PrOducers-So
 hcited by Profitable Farming.

Little Rock, July 3O.-David Lub- lin, of California, American delegate to the International Institute of Az riculture Tn Rome, arrived in Little Rock today to remain, several days |ago. He comes at the solicitation of the Profitable Farming Campaign and allied interests, for the purpose of discussing the problem of market ing with the producers and business men of the state. The general con- ference has been called for next Tues |day.
 MT. Lublin will explain the land schaft system which prevails in Ger many, which enables the farmers to borrow money at low rate of inter est. He is travelling independently and at his own expense.
 Tt is not Germany's 42-centimeter gun, nor the submarine nor the great military force trained to the minute that has established her as world power, capable of defending her in terests against the combined strength of the world. It is the interior de- Ivelopment of the Teuton nation; or, in other words, the stamina she has within her border lines that has thus far enabled her to hold her own. This country will be equally as great, | if not greater, when the units of the farming industry are properly joined together and the whole managed on a business basis with a rural credit system for the protection of all.
 "The big merchants and big busi- ness men of this country under oul present system can borrow money at five per cent, while the farmer has to pay eight, nine and ten per cent And the reason for this is easy tC understand. Failures in business are not so frequent as failures in agri- cultural pursuits. Farmers go into bankruptcy quite often and that Is why they have to pay more for theil money, considering the fact that the
 risk on the part of the lender is greater. But under the Landscaft system in Germany failures rarely oc- cur. The directors and members ot the Landschift are all farmers, al
 neighbors, and when one finds himself in financial straits, all get together and pay his interest charges wher due. Thus it is the greatest co-opera-
 tive plan for success and personal welfare in the world, and it is not 8 novelty in this or any other country

 Reports of PelIagra

Little Rock, July 30.--Dr. C. W. Garrison, State Health officer, says that he continues to receive reports of pellagra in various parts of the state. It is not a contagious disease, is epidemic in the sense that it may become precedent in a community, but is pandemic in the Southern states. It is noticeable that in communities where dietetic rules are being consid- cred there is marked improvement in the severity of the disease.

Miners Get A Surprise Bonus.

Employees of the Wolverine and
Mohawk mines at Houghton have
received a bonus of S per cent over
their regular wages for the month
of June, as the result of good prices
secured by the proprietors for the
copper output.
The bonus was surprise to the
workmen, for no previous announ-
cement was gwen out by Man
ager Theodore Delger of the Stan
ton management that such bonus
would be given. 1t is following out
the old plan of John Stanton, who
when alive, adopted this profit
sharing principle for his men.
When the copper price fell to l l
