HENDRIX FACULTY BUSY
 DURING SUMMER VACATION

President J. H. Reynolds reports that the Hendrix faculty is busy not withstanding the vacation. They have just adopted regulation which promises to stimulate scholarship in an institution already noted for its high standards. Hereafter students will graduate with first honor, second honor, or third honor, depending on the record made in their college course. Heretofore no difference has been made in the graduates, whether they had barely passed or had distinguished themselves for scholarship. To be- come a first honor graduate will be a high honor, but difficult to attain.
 Much work is being done on the campus, where carpenters, painters and plasterers are busy. The dormi- tories are being practically made over.

GRAFTON BY MIR. McRAE
Is Feature of BentOnvilIe Celebration
 Of Independence Day

Bentonville. July 3.-The Indepen- dence Day celebration held here to day was attended by a large crowd. The address was delivered by Thomas c. McRae of Prescott, who gave a scholarly oration on the greatness of the United States in history. ideals and destiny. He eulogized President Wilson and his course during the Flu ropean war, but predicted that if war should ever be necessary to preserve liberty the sons and grandsons of the soldiers of the sixties in the North and South would respond gladly to the call of patriotism.
 MT. McRae did not mention Ark ansas politics in his address, nor re- fer to his candidacy for governor. He was introduced by the Rev. J. w.. Steen, pastor of the First Presbyter- ian church. His address was well re- ceived.
 A parade of decorated automobiles and floats took place this afternoon with vaudeville performances and mu- sic by the Bentonville band and free moving picture shows and fireworks tonight. All the attractions were free.

HIGHER COURT HELD
 DID NOT BECOME LAW
Racing Bill Shows on Face that it Was Properly Vetoed by Governor Hays, March 8, 1915, at f D.
 m.-Did not Become Law

Little Rock, July While concurr- ing in the judgement, Justice Wood did not agree with other members of the Supreme Court that no relief could be offered in the Hot Springs Racing Bill case, and going into the merits of the case, which the Court declined to-. do, he held tkat the bill had been pro- perly vetoed. In his dissnting opin- ion he said:
 "1 do not concur in the view that it is impossible to grant the relief sought by the plaintiff below, appel lant here. Notwithstanding the Acts of 1915 have already been published, the Secretary of State by mandamus may be compelled to publish the act under review as an enactment of the Legislature o. 1915, if such was the case. The appellant has shown sui ticient interest in the publication of this measure, if it be law, to entitle it to such publication. But in my opinion the treasure did not become a law.
 "The bill ul on its face, without ref erence to the ensures, shows that it was 'disapproved and vetoed March 1915, at 1 o'clock p. m.' Such is the endorsement upon the bi'' @c;;~~Nd by the Governot and the entries upon the Journal of the House of Representa- tives show that the Governor on March 8, 1915, returned the measure to the House with message showing his objections thereto, which were enter ed at large upon the journal of the House. It thus appears from the Journal of the House that the measure was vetoed in conformity with Art. 6, Section 16, of the Constitution. It therefore did not become a law, and the Secretary of State cannot be com pelled to publish the same as law"

hooked wire is then inserted into the burrow and the insect pulled out. If made with care, the wound in the tree caused by this process will heal read fly. The castings at the base of the tree serve as in indication of the pres ence of the horers. Where the bur rows are curved or obstructed in some way so that the wire can not be in- serted, cotton batting dipped in car bon bisulphid should be inserted and the hole then plugged with moist earth. The gas from the carbon bi- sulphid will penetrate all parts of the burrow and nill the borer.
 In addition to worming, as this pro- cess is called paint is often used to prevent the beetles laying their eggs Pure white lead and raw linseed oil, mixed rather thick, will not injure the trees, and when applied to young, smooth bark, will form a protective coat during the egg-laying season. It is probabl, that this is a more eff fective method than wrapping the trees with building paper, cotton batt- ing, cloth or other materials some times used fer this purpose. Before painting, however, the earth should be removed from the base of the tree for depth of from to inches. The surface of the trunk thus exposed should be first scraped and painted and the earth then replaced. This is necessary, for the beetle occasionally lays her eggs under insteed of above the ground.

THE PESKY HOUSE FLY

The open season of the housefy is here once more. It is the duty of every man, woman and child to join in the campaign against this dangerous in sect. Cleanliness is the most etfec- tive weapon in the war upon this hid eous carrier of diseases; cleanliness in the house and the stable, in the streets and alleys; above all in places where foodst ifs are prepared for the market or placed on sale.
 Bak shops, meat shops and the kit chens of restaurants should be the concern of every citizen, not of the Board of Health alone. Such places in Harrison are usually well kept, and are in most ways extremely sanitary, but a word ot precaution to the pro prietors of those places is not amiss at this time of the year.
 Fly huning is repulsive, prevention in the proper places ruthlessly enforc- ed when necessary will do away with the need for the old slogan Swat the Fly" because the prevalence of the pest can be reduced within a few years. Flies spread disease in two ways. First, by their hairy feet, wings and body which gather up germs and carry them from place to place. One fly may carry 6,000,000 germs. Second, by fly specks. Germs do not lose their power for evil in passing through the intestinal tract of fly. An eminent Investigator reported that single fly speck contained 5000 germs of tu, erculosis. In fact, the only GOOD y is the DEAD fly.
 A few suggestions as to the manner in which the breeding of flies may be stopped may be made at this season, although the practice of the sugges- tions might have been started several weeks ago. They are: Get rid of the breeding places. Clean manure daily from milking places and barns. Keep pig pens dry and clean. Keep gar bage covered until it is disposed of. Make and keep the home closet clean.
 Kill all wn'ter flies. They are the egg layers. Large fly traps should be placed about all breeding places to catch the flies before they lay their eggs. The trapping should be contin- ued until after frost comes. This method is really better than swatting because one trap may catch as many as half millions sflies in a season and each of those flies, if left at large could have raised a family of seventy million young 'uns." Swatting is all right, howev>r. Don't stop that.

CONTROLLING THE
 APPLE BORER
Means by Which Orchardists May Rid Their Trees of This Wide Spread Pest-Greatly Reduces the
 Amount of WOrming.

Washington, D. C., July 7.-"Worm- ing" and painting the trunks of the trees are recommended to owners of apple orchards as efficient methods of daling with the roundheaded apple tree borer in q new Farmers Bulletin, No. 675, of the U. s. Department of Agriculture. A heavy application of some paint that will not injure the trees but will remain in an unbroken coat on the bark for two or three months, is effective in preventing the female from laying her eggs in the tree, and greatly reduces the amount of worming, or the removal of the insects with knife and wire, that must be done.
 The roundt eaded apple-tree borer, the most destructive of a number of similar pests, lays its eggs in or under the bark of apple trees. After hatch ing the larvae feed upon the inner bark and wood to such an extent that the tree is seriously weakened or killed. The pest is found over the whole of the eastern portion of the United States and as far west as Nebraska, Kansas and New Mexico. In addition to fruit trees, it feeds on service, wild crab and mountain ash trees, which make it advisable for orchardists to remove these varieties for distance of at least q hundred yards from their orchard.
 The female lays her eggs, one at time, in an incision she has made in the bark, usually just above the sur face of the ground. About 15 or 20 days later the eggs hatch and the larvae appear. When full grown these are nearly an inch and half in length. They first attack the inner bark, eating out broad, more or less circular galleries and thrusting out through small holes in the bark cast ings which form little heaps of red dish wood fragments around the base of the tree. During the winter the borers are ouiescent but early in the following spring they attack the solid wood, while some of them work their way up the trunk. These last spend one more winter in the tree and then, having passed through the pupal stage dig their way out and emerge as adult beetles. Three years are required for the insect to complete it's developmnt from egg to adult.
 Ordinarily, the beetle lives about 40 or 50 days. It is about three-fourths of an inch in length, light brown in color above, with two broad white bands. joined in front, extending the full length of the back; the underparts and front of the head are white. The females rarely fly any considerable distance, so that if the immediate vl- cinity of an orchard can be kept free from them, Shere is little danger of serious infestation.
 The most common method of ridd- ino an orchard of these pests IS to cut away the bark sufficiently to trace the durrows made by the borer. A
