honor will go to Washington County. The home of the State University. Others have mention ed Faulkner county where Hen drix and Central Colleges and the State Normal School are located. A large number have immediate ly thought of Clark county where are located Ouachita and Tender son Brown Colleges. Still oth- CTS mention Johnson, the home of Cumberland College, Indepen- dence, the home of Arkansas College, Benton the home of Ark ansas Conference College and Pea Rige College. Many im- mediately Pope, Craighead, Ore v, and Columbia where the four Agricultural Schools are located.
 One who is in a position to know however, states that the competition on none of the count ies mentioned need be feared in the first place the contest has reference to public free schools and not to colleges and special institutions.
 In the honor will be bestowed not for the past achievement of some county, but for the educa- tional spirit which it manifests today Tn support of the greatest educational measure which has been before the people in a gen. eration.
 It is rumored that some of the counties containing colleges and other special institutions have largely lost their educatiolal ardor and have become ingrossed in comercial pursuits to such an ex- tent that they will make very poor showing in the contest. 1t is even hintad by our informant that the honor may very likely go to a comparatively insignifi- cant and unknown county.
 We await the issue with much interest.

WHICH IS BANNER
 EDUCATION COUNTY?
To Decide Question that Has Been Asked
 Many Times

This question has been asked over and over during the growth of this state. Many counts have at times laid claim to the honor and many a town and village has made the boast that it is the Athens of Arkansas. ,
 In order to put the matter to a test and decide the question as to the banner county" " and the banner community the con- mittee in charge of Amendment No. 12 announces the following propositions:
 ''The educational Campaign Committe will present C'rculat- Library of One Hundred Vol umes to the schools in the county which give the largest percent age of it's votes to Amendment No. 12. The books will be for the, use of the whole county and will be passed from school to school un der direction of the County Sup erintendent or Examiner.
 Also the Committee will give a Circulating Library of Fifty Volumes to the schools in the township or Ward that give the greatest percentage of it's votes to Amendment No. 12. The ban ner township need not be located in the banner county, of course.
 If you are interested and want your school to win. go to work at once. For literature on Amend ment Mo- 12, Write the Educa- tional Campaign Committee, Conway, Ark"
 It will be noted that this offer is made to communities and not to individuals. Since it's announce ment much speculation has been indulged in with reference to the identity of the banner county. " Some are inclined to think tha

SOME FACTS TO RE-
 MEMBER ABOUT ACT2
Most Drastic Liqur Law Ever Proposed
 In State.

Act No. 2 proposes to repeal all liquor laws of our state. It is gen erally believed that the Brewers association IS back of this bill, and the saloon men of the state are having nothing to do with it except pay the money that the Brewers Association assessed to them. This bill proposes to re- peal every liquor law of our state and make the sale of Whiskey lawful in our state. They call it a LocalOption bill but it has very little of the elements of local op- tion about it.
 It allows any one to make wine or brandy and sell it without li- cense. No vote on the question. 1tallows anyone to manufacture whiskey in the state without li- cense. No vote on the question. It denies the right of petition on the question, don't allow women any voice in the matter. It de- stroys every special act, allows saloon to be put up anywhere, by a church, school, near your home or business house, any where, and you can have no say. Is this local oitions? They say it is a Local Self Government law.
 It provides that if a county seeks to vote whiskey out and the county goes wet, if there should be any township, town or city, that voted dry, this would not exempt them from saloons. Is that local self government? It provides that bootleggeys or any violator of the weiskey law law be given a small fine, while if the county judge and county clerk don't do as the Whiskey men say, he is sent to the peni- tentiary, and if a county seek ing to outlaw it V, tes dry, tho y can pull off another election at once, and keep it up indefinately, but if it votes wet, no election can be held in two years. Is this local self government? No it is local whiskey government. Many good people in our state think this bill only seeks to repeal our state wide prohibition law, and put us just where we were be- fore it was passed. This is a mistake. It repeals all laws ever had, and declares the sale, man. ufacture and giving away of H. quor in the state lawful under certain regulations which gives the whlskey seller every advan- tage and gives the other side practically nothing.

WARSAW, ILL.,, Dec. 7.-Work on
Warsaw's new pearl button factory
began Tuesday within fifteen minutes
after the contract was signed. While
called a new button factory, it is an
extension Of the present factory
which has long been contemplated by
Superintendent Schramm, provided he
and the city could agree upon terms
which they happily did. The new
building will be spacious and light
and will connect with the present
building. and extend back to the bluff
on the east. Forty new hands will
occupy this building and it will be
completed January l. Superintendent
Schramm says he will install $50 new
machines in the new building. Ninety
of these new machines are for the
old factory. This plant Is the nnest
and most successful on the river and
never has any labor trouble, always
full handed and the boys are satisfied
and contented Only the blanks are
made here ard are shipped to the
company's finishing plant at Buriing
ten The company has stored :rair-
loads of shells, which loom up like
miniature mountains. A still larger
pile of shell refuse is south Of the
factory, this refuse being handled
from factory to dump by overhead
trolley. Ten large cement tanks re-
ceive the shells for soaking before
they go to the hands Of the cutter.
The shells are of various sizes,
shapes and colors and come not only
from the streams of the middle west,
but as far south as Tennessee and
other southern states. Warsaw is
proud of this plant which will soon
have a pay roll of over $4,000 per
week, most of which is spent here
among our merchants, and proud to
have such a business man as Super
intendent Schram as one of its citi-
Zens.
