State Agricultural Commissioned

State Agricultural Commissioned John H. Page in his weekly letter to the farmers of Arkansas, makes valu- able suggestions on the important sub ject of saving the crops after they are harvested. He says:
 Arkansas farmers have just finish ed gathering probably the largest crop in the history of the state, bulk considered. If the final figures show a shortage in cotton, they also VIII show an increase in hay and grain. The mild fall weather has prolonged the growing season, especially TOT garden stuff and pastures, and has made it possible for the farmer to har- vest clean his fields. The barns are full, the pantries are full and the hay stacks are bulging.
 Winter approaches now and bad weather may be expected. The far- mer who has worked hard to make ms crops should see that they are safe- guarded from the elements so that he may enjoy them. Feedstuffs should De stored, dDONe all tulHSS, III LII shelter and where they will be con- venient for use. The potatoes, of which there is a splendid crop this year. should be housed where they will be safe from freezing, and there should be protection for the stock, which is the motive power and meat and butter of the farm.
 Southern farmers often have been lectured to about the careless man. ner in which their cotton is stored through the winter. Millions of dol lars have been lost each year through weather damage to this great staple.
 If Arkansas farmers can save and get the full benefit of the crops they have raised, 1915 will be recorded as one of the fattest years in history. It cannot be said that Providence has not favored the grower in the work of the harvest. Let us make the most of our good years and hope there will be more of them.

Little Rock.

In reply to a query from Helena, asking what the Little Rock clubs pro- posed doing after the statewide pro- hibition law becomes effective Jan uary 1, it can be stated that all the clubs, including the Elks, Eagles, Quapaw, Concordia, etc, will dis pense with their grill departments al together after January l. Under the Arkansas statute it is made felony to manufacture, sell or give away any intoxicating liquors after the end of this year The give away" feature of the law will prevent clubs from main taining private lockers for the use of their members. The majority of the clubs some time ago adopted resolu- tions to quit handling intoxicating li- becomes effective. The Arkansas prohibition law is said to be the most drastic in the country, as it provides for a three-year term in the peniten- tiary for each violation, besides courts have power to order the seizure of all liquor found on premises after next New Years. Some of the lawyers claim that this will not prevent peo- pie from having liquors in their pri- vate homes, but all of the attorneys arc agreed that under the law it can nSt be given or served to guests. There are several other very drastic sections in the law. which would make it very unpopular with the vot- CTS in the event it's repeal is sub- mitted at the next general election under the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitution.

and the keenness of attack once shown by Cubs, Giants and Mackmen.
 An Ordinary Attack.
 The Red Sox offense is twenty de- grees below it's defense. In the latter art the Carrigan club is a wonder. In the former 1t is only ordinary. Its lone force of attack is an affair If several dangerous batsmen, but thera is no system of attack calculated to get runs in any other way than by the base hit route.
 If this viewpoint is out of gea. it was undoubtedly true of the first four games played where the major DOT tion of Bostons hits went to seed by the roadside.
 Hoppe in Danger.
 Dear Sir: We are wondering if Willie Hoppe has noticed what has of topsy-turvyism in sport. Willie plays Koji Yamanda in Boston the coming week for the Al worlds balkline billiard title, which Hoppe now holds. How any one can beat Hoppe in three nights of play, 500 potts each night, is not within the imagination of those who have watched the American cue wizard perform, but a golfer can miss a 6-inch putt; Iris Speaker can drop an easy fly or lose one in the sun, Hoppe can make a miscue and leave the bill Hard balls in position. The Jap can make runs of more than a hundred or even two hundred. And there you are. If Yamada fails he can console himself with the thought that 1t is a long way to Japan, and the Al championship trophy is both heavy and bulky, with expressage rates high L. F.
 Looks Like Harvard.
 Dear Sir: I have watched both Princeton and Yale play this season and so far I have been able to make only two deductions One is that Yale hasn't any defense and the other is that Princeton hasn't any attack. When these two elevens meet which should be the favorite upon this basis ?-L. K. H.

CLEAN UP OR SHUT
 UP-HEALTH BOARD
Have Heart to Heart Talk With Two Dealers and Tell Them
 Who Is Boss Around Here.

The board of health met yesterday afternoon and considered two com plaints made by Dr. B. D. Radcliff, milk inspector. Peter Johanson's case was the first heard. Johanson has bought a portion of a milk route and is desirious of obtaining a H. cense. On October g, Inspector Rad cliff took samples of his milk and found it below average
 Under questioning of Chairman Tallard, Johanson said he came from New York and was desirious of es- tablishing a trade of his own. He buys his milk from another party. After warning Johanson of the neces- sty of selling clean milk, the board dismissed him.
 Dr. Radcliff complained of J. A. Himlestein, milk dealer of Hartford avenue. The inspector said he had examined Himlestein's quarters and had recommended that the man change them for there is no running water, the building is unfit and the yard is always in dirty condition. He has warned the man several times and the latter always promised to ihoNO Io belleT QudTIeTS. however, up to the present he has neglected to do so. Himlestein said he intends to run a clean dairy and give his customers clean milk. He has been in the business for three years. He complained to his landlord, when Dr. Radcliffe spoke to him and the landlord promised to repair the build ing but has failed to do so. Himle- stein says he would be glad to move to other quarters within week if the board wished it. The board ap- proved of the proposition and after a warning to Himlestein he was dis missed
 pr. Reeks then spoke of the at tention that has been paid to the orders of the board, regarding chicken houses and the plumbin in two family houses. Nearly every one who received notices compiled with them and pr. Reeks considered this a remarkable showing. The meeting then adjourned.
