GARLIC INDUSTRY
 GROWING IN STATE

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-The very latest thing in the way of organiza. tions is an Arkansas Garlic Grow. ers' Association. Commissioner Page who is personally very much inter ested in the industry, has issued a call for a meeting to be held at Bonneville, September 20, at which time an organization for mutual pro- lection and benefit is to be formed. Bonneville was chosen because it is in the midst of large producing sec tion. MT. Page says in his call:
 "The garlic industry has grown to such proportions in Arkansas as to make it worthy of consideration as one of the states agricultural re- sources, and since the Arkansas gar lie is of such superiority in quality and yields more abundantly than in foreign countries, it would be of material aid and benefit to the grow CTS and the industry for an organiza- tion of the growers to be formed. Especially would such an organiza- tion be of value in the marketing of the product. l trust that full at tendance may be had at the first meeting"

DRINKERS INELIGIBLE.

Kansas is the first state to bar the man who drinks from holding pub lie office. Governor Capper has re- quested Kansas new civil service commission to make this ruling, says the Ohio Messenger. His letter to the commission says:
 'ln formulating the rules govern ing the appointment of state employ es under the new civil service law, desire to suggest for your earnest consideration, the desirability of in, cooperating rule making ineligible for appointment to a state position any person who uses intoxicating liquors in any form.
 While Kansas can already con- graduate itself on having fewer liquor users on it's payroll than any ether state in the Union, still there is no good reason for its having any
 Most of the big corporations and other large employers in this coun- try have adopted the policy of not employing drinking people. In my Judgment state can we'll afford tc follow in such footsteps.

PULASKI ASSESSORS
 AFTER TAX DODGERS

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-The Pulaski county equalization board has decided to assess all mortgages, notes and oth- CT evidences of indebtedness and made one assessment of an $18,000 mort gage.
 It is the first time that notes have assessed in Pulaski county, but ac- cording to Tom Poe, president of the board, there are others which are to be on the books during the present session of the board. He said that it had been held just taxation by the su- preme court and that this board would make every effort to get the personal tax dodgers who hold mortgages on real estate in the country.
 To show the large number of per sons who hold mortgages and make loans that do not pay taxes, he cited that 85 per cent of the property in the county was mortgaged and only a small per cent on the books. The taxes per $1OO, city, county and state, are $2.78.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow me space to thank the negro farmers of Faulkner county through your valuable paper for ex- hibiting at the successful farmers meeting held at the colored public school building September 9. l have been informed that this is one of the best meetings held among the farmers in the state of Arkansas.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for the kindness extended by the colored people of the baner county of the state. Your humble servant,

SCORES AUTO SPEFDERS
JGdge Little Delivers Drastic Charge 10 Grand Jury of Sebas-
 tian County.

Fort Smith, Sept. 12.-"It's up to you, gentlemen, to protect the rights of citizens on highways, and unless you do so it will not be long before the people will arm themselves with shotguns, and you cannot blame them if they use them," said Judge Paul Little Monday in charging the grand jury in the matter of speeding and reckless autos.
 The fatal accident in which Mrs. c. J. Gilmore met death Monday night of last week, when she was struck by an auto driven by Sam Bogue, who has since been held to the grand jury on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, was the basis of the charge.
 In answer to the courts inquiry whether any member of the grand or petit jury was opposed to penitentiary sentence in bootlegging cases, four members of the petit jury replied they were. The court announced they would be excused from service in such cases.
 Unqualified persons signing liquor repeal petitions and circulars know ingly and those permitting unqualified persons to sign were liable to peni- tentiary sentences and should be in- dicted, the court said.

AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS.

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-The new agriculture has come to stay in Ar kansas. It is to be taught in the public schools more effectively than ever before. J. L. Bond, state su- pervisor of rural schools, and Dem- ocratic nominee for state superin- tendent, reports that agriculture will be taught during the coming fall and winter by at least 1,5OO rural school teachers. The text book to be used is Elementary Lessons in without restruction by B. c. Riley and Earl Kirkpatrick, specialists in the agricultural extension division of the University of Arkansas. It is a practical book.

CR|O|R0N QUADS
 BEGIN PRACTICE

Thirteen aspirants for berths on the 1916 Hendrix football team re- ported to Coach Bill Headrick on Russell Field yesterday afternoon, for the first workout session. The warriors look good, most of whom bear the ear marks of first team calibre. There were seven veterans on the field, including three letter men. Those who reported were Vaughan, Holmes, Gossett, G. Har- ton, Bearden, Wahl, Owen, Moore, Patterson, Landers, Roberts, Farris and Hunt.
 Practice will be continued this af- ternoon, when it is expected the num- Der will be increased to about 25. By Wednesday afternoon, the open ing day of the college, the squad probably will be swelled to 50.
 The number reporting to Coach Dan Estes at the Normal was some- what disappointing, only four men showing up. This may be accounted for, however, by the fact that the Normal does not open until next week. Several who will seek berths on the team who live in Conway did not report to the coach, but they are expected to don their moleskins be- fore the end of the week. The four who were out in uniform were O. Wray, Tom Reeves, T. Wray and Joe Day.

Old Guard of Honor Gone.

Monte Carlo, April 26.-The old
guard of honor of the prince of Mon
AGO, four officers and 50 men. which
constituted the military force of the
principality in pre-war times, has dis
appeared since the war came, for the
whole gendarme of Monaco was re-
cruited from abroad, and the members
were all either Frenchmen or Italians.
They have now been called to the col
Ors of their respective countries, so
that neutral Monaco found itself sud
denly without adequate protection.
Then the people volunteered for ser
vice, but to prove their independence
as well as their dislike for militar-
ism, they wear no uniform. merely
their ordinary civilian costume and a
red and white wooden armlet
In front of the main entrance to the
palace stands sentry, a 16-yearold
roy, leaning on an old pattern rife,
its fixed bayonet towering several feet
above his head. He is dressed in non
descript tweed suit, very baggy at the
knees. and wears no cartridge belt,
merely the red-and-white armlet.
Yet Monaco is not entirely neutral.
Many of its youth have entered the
French foreign legion, and the heir
apparent, Prince Louis, holds COM
mission in a French regiment

thereon the name of the owner there
Of Milk sold in large Quantities and

comply with the ordinance When it
was considered year ago there was
a fight made on the question of wheth-
or or not bottling of the tactical pro-
duet should be made compulsory. A
compromise was reached whereby the
clause would be placed in the ordi-
