PRINCE EVERGREEN, H. F AUTEN'S $2,500 SHORT
 HORN BULL, DEAD.

Prince Evergreen, the 2,600- pound Shorthorn bull owned by H. F. Auten, died the past week. This bull, MT. Auten says, had not half a dozen equals in the United States, and no superlors. He was an English Shorthorn of the beef and butter strain, and was valued at $2,500. The mon- ey loss is not nearly so great as the loss to the farmers and stock growers of the South. Stock from this great bull has gone into Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, Georgia and Alabama, and had he lived a few years longer it would have meant thousands of dollars to the South. R. A. Barnes, one of the leading stockmen of North west Arkansas, writes: "His death is great loss to stock breeders all over the country" " MT. Auten left Thursday night for the North to purchase more cattle.

City Marshal Hawkins is not

City Marshal Hawkins is noti- flying property owners to cut their weeds, as required by law. He reported to the City Council that one of the owners of a large tract of vacant property, whose attention was called to the weed ordinance, politely invited him to take a trip down to the "bad place." Mayor Bradley may make an example of this smart Aleck weed grower. The non- resident property owner is the greatest offender, the marshal says.

George 5. Wilson, superintendent OF

Harrison law governing the sales OF
all forms of drugs that may be used
by persons addicted to the habit of
taking dope" The law becomes ef-
fective March l.. and, the authorities
say. it's stringent provisions will make
it next to impossible for so-called
dope fiends' to obtain drugs that will
satisfy their cravings.
Mr.. Wilson says he anticipates no
great increase in the number of dope"
patients after the law becomes effec-
tive. It's enforcement, he says. should
greatly reduce the number in the near
future, although there may be few
acute cases after te supply of drugs is

The So-called Harrison law is a federal
statute and applies to all the states,

enforcement being in the hands of the
officials of the internal revenue bu-
reau. Congress provided an approprla-
ton of $15o,Oo0 to be used in the en-
forcement of the law. 1t is more than
probable that the bureau, acting under
Instructions from the Secretary of the
Treasury, will appoint many inspectors
in the service.
