The keynote OF his letter seems to
be that America should side IN with

sympathy of the American people Is

But, the most significant point
raised in his letter. TO our view, is
that OF the necessity OF preparedness.

The Hall Case

law under which insane persons are
sentenced from the circuit courts Is
defective In that no allowance is made
for their being transferred TO other
hands II Il is decided by the authori-

The supreme court has not ruled
upon this point in regard to the law
and il is not the disposition OF Judge
Flanagan to cause any ruling that
might seriously embarass the state in
its care of the insane.
For that reason some disposition of
the matter will be made by the Judge

HoME PRODUCT SHOW.

Many statewide interests have joined in a plan to inaugurate an Annual Home Product Show. The first exposition will be held in the magnificent City Market and Arcade Building, Little Rock, October 27-30 with Ray Gill, Deputy State Superinten7 dent of Public Instruction and former secretary of the Ark ansas State Fair, as manager.
 The central thought is to en- courage the use of Arkansas grown and manufactured food products. The exhibits and dem- onstrations will be limited to Arkansas Products. " The only exceptions to this rule being Coffee and Cotton Seed Oil Pro ducts. A nominal rental fee will be charged for the booths occupied by manufacturers to cover the cost of the Exposition. Elegant, permanent booths in a thoroughly modern building are available.
 Free space will be given the Canning Club, Fruit and all Farm Exhibits.
 The Exposition will be held coincident with the annual meet ing of Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs in Little Rock. The Federation has given official recognition to the Home Products Show and will make the Exposition, the Federation Program, Thursday night. A splendid opportunity is thus

afforded all exhibitors to explain their respective products and advertise their trade marks to the Federation delegates who directly represent many thous- and Arkansas housewives.
 Demonstrations and class in- struction will be given free throughout the exposition in canning, cooking, care of milk, butter making, home gardening, poultry raising, egg marketing and all phase of home and farm activities related to home economics.
 Practically all public service organizations and clubs in Little Rock have joined actively with the State Federation of Women's Clubs, the University of Ark ansas, Farm Demonstration Forces, State Department of Agriculture, Industrial Experts and other statewide interests to make the First Annual Ex- position of Arkansas Grown and Manufactured Products a thoroughly successful enter prise, said manager Ray Gill. Tt is our earnest endeavor to keep in Arkansas some of the $75, ,000,000 which we are annu- ally sending out of our state fer food products. "
 All communications should be addressed to Ray Gill, Manager, State Capitol, Little Rock, Ark anaas.

WATER AS FUEL

That water can be used as fuel for an internal combustion engine is the claim made by George Moriarty, a Washington boy, who has been working on this scheme several y ears. Moriarty says he has discovered that with few slight changes he can operate a gasolene motor with water at a cost of less than 1 7-8 cents per gallon. In an interview he said: Water in itself is one of the most explosive liquids known when used proper ly. All you have to do is to separate the clements that go to make the water and then ex- plode them by means ot com

pression in cylinders, igniting them from spark coil. By this means l have developed 89.27 actual horse power. Water con- tains gases that explode far more quicker and more sensitive than gasolene, kerosene, or nap tha. Moriarty expects to com plete the apparatus for separat- ing of the gases contained in the water in a few days; he promises that he will be driving an automobile around the streets of Washington by the end of this month with ordinary hydrant water for fuel. -Ex.

BUY HOME PRODUCT

With reference to the Home Products Show to be held at the Market Arcade, Little Rock, Oct ober 27-30, Dean J. H. Miller, in charce of the Agricultural EXten- sion work for the University of Arkansas, says:
 Doubtless in this state, as in others, people buy from the groc- CT without any regard to the source of supply and in all prob ability the majority of the Wo- men oI your towns and cities Of Arkansa8 buy more canned vege- tables and canned fruits grown in New York than they do Ar kansas grown stuff. Your Home Products Show, therefore, in con- nection with the State Fedora tion of Women's Clubs, will do wonders to educate people to us- ing Arkansas products. ;

MIRELELESS TELE-
 PH0NY ESTABLISHED
HUMAN VOICE TRANSMsTrgp BY RADIO TO HAWAII, 4,6oo
 MILES.

New York, Sept. That wire less telephone commune a. tion from the Atlantic seaboard to Hawaii, a distance of 4,600 miles, is now an accomplished fact was announced today at the offices of the eAmericanTelephone & Telegraph Company. Ex- ceeding even in success the trans mission of the human voice from Arlington to Mare Isand, Cal, a distance of 2, 800 miles, accomp- lished last night, it was stated that subsequent experiments had resulted i'll successful telephone communication between Arling- ton and the naval radio station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
 The distance over which this wireless communication was held Is greater than the distance from New York to London, Paris, Berlin or Rome. The voce had to travel over the whole of the United States, a distance of g. 800 miles, before it encountered the more simple wireless con ditions which exist over large bodies of water. For the purpose of this test it was stated that the receiving was done on small wire less antennae erected by eng lneers of the telephone company by permission of the naval au- thorities in the Pearl Harbor sta- tion.
 The eA pefiments, 1t was ex- plained at the offices of the com pany, are the successful culmi- nation of series of tests be- gun last spring with an expert mental tower erected at Mon tauk point and another at Wil- mington, Del, 250 miles apart.
 A representative of the com pany said that wireless telephony would form an important adjunct to present telephone system in that while it could be established between points where it would be impracticable to extend wires it would not replace the present system. The wireless, he ex- plained, is subject to interference from atmospheric conditions and anyone with apparatus could listen in on a conversation.

VALUE OF GOOD EDUCATION

The following statistics have been compiled showing the value of good education: The aver age educated man earns $l 200 a eai. II- s1.l. Ior5y years. making a total of S48, GOO in a life time. The average day la borer gets $1.50 a day, three hundred days in the year, if he is lucky, or $450 a year, making Sl8,0 in forty years. The diff ference, or $30,0 equals tie money value of an education. To acquire this capacity, at least twelve years are spent in school of one hundred eighty days each, totaling ?, 160 days. Divide $30,- 600 by 3, 160 the number Of days required to get it and it is found that school is worth nearly four teen dollars a day. Is this not easy money? Parents may well ponder on the above statistics. =FiX.

INSTITUTE AND
 RALLY \ SUCCESS
JOINT KEEPING HELD AT MuN- DELL HsGRLY PRAISED BY
 AGENT GREER.

The Farmers Institute and School Rally held at Mundell, in the Western district of the county last Friday and Saturday, was we'll attended by the people of that section. The meeting was joint one, Mundell being on the line of Benton and Car roll counties, County Agents Nash, of Benton, and Greer, of Carroll, having charge of the meeting. Dr. J. E. Gibson, gov ernment agent in charge of the hog cholera control work in Ark ansas, was present and deliver ed splendid lecture on his work. H. K. Sanders, assistant state agent in charge of the pig club work, also made @ very interesting talk and strong appeal to the fathers and mothers to give their boys and girls a chance to show what they can do on the farm.
 County Superintendent of Schools for Benton county, Prof. Edwards, and Prof. Mccall, county examiner for the western district of Carroll county, made splendid educational addresses. Hon. J. N. Tillman made one of his characteristic speeches on Rural Credits and Rural Organi- zation. County Agent Mash, of Benton county, talked on forage crops and poultry. Agent Greer talked on general eoiidftt i51fa, ssti;5o t35o on alfalfa and corn, and to the boys and girls on the club work. Prof. ". W. Roark, teacher of the school at Mundell, presided over the meeting. The farmers, their wives and boys and girls brought in splendid exhibits of all the farm products, many Of which could not be excelled by any country.
 The very best thing on the programs each day was the splendid dinner spread on the ground, the dinner Saturday be- ing a veritable feast of the good things to eat, prepared only as the good housewives of the 0zarks can prepare them.
 Some of the business men of Eureka Springs showed their interest by their presence. The attendence was estimated at from 800 to 700 people, who showed their interest in better farming by the questions asked the speakers.
 The program was made better by the singing by the splendid choir. In point of interest this was the best meeting of the kind ever held in Carroll county. That community and school dis trict is to be congratulated, and much of the success of this meeting is due to the splendid work being done in their school by Prof, Roark, who is bending every energy to make their school of real practical benefit to all the activities of the com munity.

NORTH ARKANSAS FAIR GREAT
 SUCCESS

John Pulllam was on the fair ground and 'tickled to death" to see his Eureka Springs friends. - North Arkansas Fair Notes in the Eureka Springs Times-Echo.

Hailey, just pushed,o y unsolicited, lit tie courtesy my way in the shape of a complimentary ticket. I thanked him, as best l could, and went on in. And after entering 1 saw something" moving to- ward me- Got a little closer so objects were more discernible- and what do you suppose it was moving toward me with such rapidity that it almost scared me? Why, it wasn't anything or anybody-bu my old time pals, Ed Overstreet and Mrs. Anna House editor and city editress of the Times-Fcho. And they looked natural just as natural as life. . We swung" for each others "north-paWso and didn't miss, either. Those hear ty hand-clasps felt powerful good to me. Tickled! l should say was. And so were they. We just laughed until 1 felt my

Of course there were lots of other people there 1 knew but ] couldn't see any of them was so busy talking to the above named folks" and so full of damfno what that 1 just couldn't see 'em. But they were there-I know they were there for l could hear them walking around. Yes, 1 was there e-Was glad l went, for l fulfilled the mission for which l went-to see the splendid exhibits and meet and mingle for a few short hours among friends. The races were good, the crowd was large and orderly, two bands made merry music, and when the sun went down behind the western horizon last Saturday evening it drew the curtain oyer the most suc- cessful fair ever held in Berry vile.
