CHAMPAIGN INAUGURATORS
 ADOPT RESOLUTION GRATITUDE
Estimated that Since Campaign Started Newspapers have Pub- lished Enough Matter to
 Make IF Mile Column

Little Rock Jan. 7.-At a meeting of the permanent Profitable Farming Campaign Committee at the Cham Der of Commerce Wednesday after noon a resolution was adopted ex- pressing gratitude for the liberal sup port that has been given the move ment by the newspapers of the state.
 It was estimated that since the cam paign opened three months ago the newspapers have published enough
 matter about it to make one column
 mile and a half long.
 Lawrence Foote, banker, of
 Canton, Miss, appeared before the
 Committee and submitted a scheme for turning the ice factories of the state into refrigerating plants during their idle months, for the handling of pork. The plan has been in success full operation in Mississippi, and has the approval of Bradford Knapp, of the Demonstration Bureau at Wash
 ngton, who sent MT. Foote to Ark ansas to interest the people of this state. Mir. Foote said he had visited the ice factories at Bonneville, Ha- zen, Searcy and Kensett and had re- ceived encouragement. The manager of the plant at Warren was present and endorsed the movement, as did business men and representatives of the Agricultural Department, and State Commissioner John H. Page.
 There are thirty-fve towns in the state that have ice-plants that can be used in this way, and the result would be long step forward in the campaign of teaching Arkansas to feed itself, by the use of homegrown products. The government will pay $500 toward the expense of putting on the campaign, and it will be nec- essary to raise 5000 more to secure the services of MT. Foote. A com mittee consisting of E. J. Bodman, H. F. Auten, Carl J. Baer, Max Heiman, and George W. Rogers was appointed to consider the matter of raising the fund required.

BANKING LAW OF ARK
 ANSAS IS APPROVED
Commissioner Davis Says It Will Not Be Long Until All Arkansas Banks are in Strong and
 Solvent Condition.

The first report of the state Bank
 Ing Department, covering the year lending December 31, 1914. No changes in the present law are rec commended. ''If all observe the pres ent law" said Commissioner Davis"
 1t will not be long until all the banks are in strong and solvent condition" The report says in part: "On ac- lcount of the banks of the state not having had any law governing the conduct of their affairs, or any SUD- ervision or limitation in the past, it was deemed prudent and to the in- terests of the bank, as well as var ious commercial interests of the state to temper the administration of the law with moderation, thus giving the many institutions affected by the law sufficient time to adjust themselves
 to the requirements without mater lal loss or injury to their business and without jeopardizing the solvency
 or safety of the bank. The department
 has engaged in camqaign of con struction and has at all times avoid ed any inclination toward destruc- tion, and endeavored to build up rath-
 CT than tear down. In many instan- jces weak and insolvent banks have been converted into strong solvent banks and made tO Derforp, tha furc tions originally designed. It is the lpurpose and desire of the department to so administer the law that the
 very fact that bank opens it's doors from day to day for the transaction | of business is sufficient guaranty that the bank is safe, sound and sol
 vent, and the public in general need
 have no fear of loss if they place their money with it for safe-keep- | ing"

RANK OF PRESCOTTS
 DIRECTORS MEETING
pu0s;dent McRae in Annual Address Favors DiversificatiOn of Crops Says Farm Products Must be
 Grown at a Profit.

Tho annual meeting of the stock holders of the Bank of Prescott was held today. The following officers and directors were elected:
 Thomas c. McRae, President; Iares G. Clark and s. J. Hesterly, v;ca-p Presidents; w. V. Tompkins Secretary; Thomas c. McRae, Jr., Cashier and Treasurer; Irwin A. Blak- o,ov and Wren Scott Assistant Cash iors. Sam T. White, IT,, Bookkeeper; F E. Murrah manager of the h. surance Department; c. D. McSwain manager of Emmet Office; E. L. Cox, Samuel T. White, and D. l.. McRae directors.
 The president of the bank in his annual report to the stockholders among other things said:
 "The low price of cotton and forest products, the great reduction in rail road values, and the loss of railroad credit. has brought our cotton coun- try square up against a serious situa- tion. one that calls for cool and courageous thought and cautious act ion. The necessity for reduction of the cotton acreage and for the pro ducton of home grown feed, and the raising of more live stock, seems to be imperative. This however, is at tended with the danger of dislodging many useful occupants of the soil, and forcing them into the towns and cities where their earning power will be re- duced, their standard of living inn paired with the consequent increase of indolence and crime.
 "It will be difficult to teach be- tween seasons those who know how to raise nothing but cotton to diversity and to do mixed farming, but that seems to be the determination of the farmers. It is therefore of the ut most importance to our section of the country that the owners of the land particularly the large ones-should furnish employment at fair wages to their tenants and laborers while the change from one crop system is be- ing worked out, and thus prevent a sacrifice of labor, the most valuable asset of the farmer.
 "We can have no genuine, perma- nent prosperity until farm products can be grown and marketed at pro- fit, and labor paid a living wage. Without these we can have no per manent real estate values"

 Dear Sir;
 Ut is my understanding that YOU intend to introduce a bill in the Leg islature for the repeal of the Nevada County Fish Law. My information also IS that there are about SIS in- dictments against citizens of said county for the violation of the law that you seek to repeal. I consider it practically impossible to try each of these cases at this term of court unless they would all agree to abide the verdict in one case. This agree ment 1 have not had and I do not desire to try to punish part of these people and have the Legislature re- lieve the balance of them. For that reason I intend to ask the Court to permit these cases to go over to the summer term of court. If you have an opportunity to advise these defen- .dants that it will not be necessary to appear at this term of court I shall appreciate it, as I am constantly re- ceiving inquiries concerning this n, ftar

DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS
 NOT CALLED OCCUPATION"
Atty. Gen. COnstruing Child Labor Law Holds Boys May Deliver Newspapers Before or After
 School Without Violation

Little Rock, Jan. 7-Attorney- Gen eral Moose, construing the Child La bor law, passed by the people in Sep tember, 1914, effective Jan. 1. holds that "boys may carry newspapers be- fore and after regular school hours without violating the act" He says that it is his opinion that the deliv- cry of newspapers is not properly con- strued as an occupation" which has been defined to mean: Occupation, as commonly understood, signifies vo- cation, calling, trade, the business which one principally engages in to secure livelihood or obtain wealth"
 "The business of delivering the morning and evening newspapers by small boys, which is done before and after school hours, and requires only an hour or two of time, could hardly be called an occupation when the lar ger part of the day is spent by the boy. in the school room. In other words, the carrying of the newspapers does not take up the principal part of the boys time and energies, and could hardly be called his regular business, calling trade or employ ment."

Printing the News

Every once In a while some poll
tician friendly to the newspaper oil
some personal friend of the editor oil
one Of the reporters comes around
and wants a story KILLED" Some
times 1t is friend who has been
caught in an embarrassing position
Sometimes 1t Is to suppress the de-
tails of a defalcation or Of domestic
troubles. But the ground for the
granting of the request is always per-
sonal friendship, never public policy.
Some of these days people Will
learn that no newspaper man cares
for the exploitation of the mean, the
sordid and the criminal things Of this
world. Some of these days people
will learn that the average newspaper
man shuns the details of domestic
discord and the horrible details OF
shocking crime fully as much as the
average woman. Some Of these days
people will learn that newspaper men
prefer the sunshine to the cellar;
that they would rather hear the peal
of wedding bells than the toll Of the
dirge. Some of these days people
will come to learn that newspaper
men would rather print the estab-
lishment OF a manufacturing enter
prise than the creditors list of a
bankrupt.
But this Is rather diversion. The
point that we desire to make is that
the people buy newspaper to get
the news printed without fear or IA
vor. A newspapers one best asset is
its independence, its fearlessness in
doing the right as God gives it to see
the right, its devotion to the truth
even though the publication of truth
may bring sorrow to some, Its strug-
gle to attain that conception of duty
which puts the public good, the pub
Tic morals, the pubic character ABOVE
the character and the morals and
selfish personal interests of any men,
Der Of society. If in the perform
ance of this duty newspapers make
enemies, If in the performance of this
duty newspapers are reviled and
scorned by an element of the COM
munity, they can well afford to smile,
because in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the very people who try to
work their personal influence and
fail come in time to realize that their
strongest bulwark of protection is
the independence of the press.-Tul-

What Europe is Losing

The Italian earthquake was an ap-
palling disaster, but Germany has had
such an earthquake practically every
three weeks since the beginning OF
last August, and worse, for only her
picked and skilled men are slain.
What can Nature do to men as bad
as the things they inflict on each
other? The waste of property is not
so important, for what we have had
we can make again, but human life,
once wasted, is forever lost. Thinh
of the DEVILS task to which Europe's
Leadership has devoted her strength.
The masses of men now busted in
slaughter have no personal interest
in IL. When { is war is over they
will 60 back to work, and their lives
will be narrow and hard, or not, ac-
cording to what they can do in their
several places. But even now the
power that could achieve for all of
them a broader and better life Is
being poured out in murder, like
hearts blood into sand. These ar
mics could construct Panama canal
every month, they could rebuild all
the slums on earth, irrigate the Sa-
hara, clear the jungles of Africa and
South America, and set mankind to
living in a world worth while. Why
is there not sense enough to do this?
Why do we waste the ages in these
eanceling policies of hate and death
and fear? 1t is the inmost creed OF
the United States that constructive,
helpful work is better than lies and
war, that "a city of brothers in broth
erliness abiding" is a dream that can
be made to come true for all men.
Europes time for seeing this is post
poned only; it is not lost.-Collier' s.
