 Deputy State Auditor Reiff was brought into the lime light Saturday when he refused to honor a warrant calling for s55 45 covering the ex- penses of Senators Davenport, Wag- her and Toler, and a stenographer, who recently visited the. University O. Arkansas at Fayetteville, as the Senate Investigating Committee. Reiff was ordered brought before the Senate, and it is probable that im- , peachment proceedings will be brought, unless proper adjustment is made. It is the contention of those, who are defending Deputy Reiff, that he could not issue the warrant except on an itemized statement, and that the three senators did not do this, but sent in lump sum. The issuance of the warrant to cover | the expenses of the trip had been or

 Repres entatiye Buehanan has a bill before the House, No t3f, to al low the judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit to hire stenographer, the bill has been read twice and made a special order for one day this week. This is feature that is badly need ed in this district, as on numerous occasions competent stenographer is needed in important cases.
 A bill has been introduced in the Senate. and referred to the Judiciary Committee, entitled An act to de- clare certain publications as libelous and to prescribe punishment for same. The bill is aimed at the newspapers and is 90 worded that re- covery of damages for alleged libel would be exceedingly easy, 1t is be- lieved
 An interesting legislative item, taken at random from a large num- Der of the same caliber reads as fol- lows: Changing the fence law in Poinsett county, making them four wire :, It cost the taxpayers of Ark ansas about $500 to get this through; No wonder there isn't any money in the State Treasury.

 The Senate has passed Bill No. l96, by Senator Greenhouse. of this coun- ty providing for appointment of county or probate judge when the circuit judge certifies to the governor that the county judge is physically unable to perform the duties of the office. The bill passed l6 to 13- This bill might be considered as a local measure. and it doubtlessly called for by reason of the recent illness Of Judge flight. of this county.
 The house defeated the bill by Mir Brawner, providing for the extension of taxes n certain cases in Clay county from April until November Opposition to the bill was based on the ground that if extension is grant ed at all it should be to the whole state.

 If an orchard grower wants to go on the policy that when he plants tree he has done his duty and that nature will take care of it, he is sure and certain to make a failure. But if the orchard will be pruned. sprayed and cultivated according to the latest and best methods. there is hot the least doubt but that the grow. CT will be amply rewarded with abundant yields.
 More is known today about the best practices in fruit production than was known at any other time in the worlds history. and from our viewpoint, now is the most opportune time to engage in apple growing, for those who will go into it with the full determination to stick to the job.

XMAS RUSH AND PICKPOCKETS

DOCKET PICKING is an ancient profession.
II was supposed for long time that per-
sons who pick pockets were pushed to il by poverty.
Touching situations in dramas and novels were
built about the starving babes for whose sake the
hero or heroine snatched purse. The plot still
moves ''movie" crowds.
But we ought to know better. While the
science of crimnology has reused us to justice for
criminals, ii has also robbed us OF much maudlin
sympathy for some of them
We know now that picking pockets Is bust
ness for which training under experts is required.
And we ought to know that the profession survives
because society permits it to do so, with the same
careleSSneSs with which il lets germ diseases exist
The pickpocket finds his best field OF opera
tons in crowd Christmas is his harvest season.
He knows that il We are jostled while waiting
for a carve will oSte back-when we ought
