Explaining Its Position.

After fully considering the cases of
Roland H. Childrey ana Judson Cum

state Board of Pharmacy Yesterday de-
! cided not TO revoke their licenses for
the present. Both men, however. will
be carefully watched In the future. and
VIII be required to make monthly re
ports to the board showing all pur-
chases ana sales Of narcotic drugs.
The cases OF childrey and Cunning
ham aroused considerable interest here
not only on account Of their promi =
hence. but in view of the fact that
! the police were making desperate cf-
forts to break up the sale OF habit
forming drugs and to bring the heads
OF the traffic to justice. Both men en-
tered pleas OF guilty and were fined
S25 and costs each.
When the state BOARD OF Pharmacy
met this week. the cases were taken
up. and both men were given an op-
portunity to make statements in their
own defense. The board made II rlco r
that neither was on trial. and took the
whole question under ndviscment In

cial announcement that no action would

The board decided to postpone con-

For the farmer in the cotton belt

in the past over most Of the cotton area
oats sown in the fall should be one OF
our main reliances for stock wintering.
While their feeding value is the first
consideration to the man who is grow

other advantages. They serve as

mature they furnish a fairly satisfac-
