Keep up cultiva- tion and hasten the fruiting as much as possible, and above all, pick up and destroy the first squares that are punctured in order to prevent an over abundance of weevils and the loss of almost the entire August crop.

It is supposed to be due to the gulf storm which has hung over southern Alabama and Mississippi since early in the week, the air cur rent flowing to the low pressure area marking the center of the storm. The wind has been accompanied by light, scattered showers, but the moisture is quickly absorbed by the wind and corn crops are beginning to show the need of good general rain.

 Supreme Court.

Little Rock, July 8.-Defciency proclamations to provide finances for enforcement of the commercial fer tllizer law and the state game and fish laws were issued by Gov Hays yesterday. The proclamations in each instance provided that the money should be paid by appropriations by the next legislature from funds d. ready collected through enforcement of the laws. The proclamation for enforcement of the fertilizer law was for $15,000, and for the game and fish laws $12,90O.
 Last Monday the supreme court held that money now in the state treaury and collected through enforce ment of the game laws of the mate could not be used by the game con mission because of lack of specific appropriation.

SAY OPPOSITION IS
 NOT BASED ON TRADE

Regarding the story appearing in yesterdays Log Cabin Democrat rel ative to opposition which was develop ing to street improvement district No. ', prominent East Oak street prop erty owner today denied that the possibility of diversion of trade from that district was the reason for op- posing the improvement. Those of us who are opposing the district" he said, do not fear that it will have any injurious effect on our trade, but we feel that our taxes are already as high as we can afford to pay, with prospects of an additional school tax and tax for building turnpikes lead ing out of the city still to come. It is for the reason that we think some of the improvement districts in which we are already located should be paid out first before going into an- other, that we oppose the new street district"
 Some of the promoters of the dis trict said today the opposition to it is negligible and the great majority of the property owners in the dis trict will be found in favor of it "lnstead of injuring the southern and eastern business section," said one of them, "it will be positive benefit to those sections, as it will afford an- other surfaced route leading from the north, as we'll as one from the east, and will relieve Front street of the congestion which so frequently occurs during the busy season."

BELGIAN VETERAN IS
 MISSING FROM CAMP

Little Rock, July 8.-Company M of Harrison, would like to know the whereabouts of Latresse, the Belgian veteran who enlisted with the com. pany at Harrison. He left camp early in the week, saying that he was going to the hospital. But he did not report at the hospital, and he has not returned to camp. It looks like case of desertion. An example will probably be made of him, should he be found.
 Latresse is said to be a most like able fellow. He was a great favorite with the boys. He sang in five lan- guages, and gave most entertaining accounts of his experience on the firing line in Europe. One finger was shot off, and he bears the scars of other wounds gotten at the front He was in the bloody campaign about the Ypres salient, and judging from his wounds must have been in thick of the fray.

CATTLE RAISING
 ON THE INCREASE

As an evidence of increased interest in the growth of cattle in this county during the past year or two, loca! buyers are finding that beef cattle are more plentiful in Faulkner coun- ty at present than for many years. This in spite of the fact that carload shipments are made from Conway al- most daily, one shipment of five cars and another of three, in addition to smaller shipments, having been made within the past two weeks. The in- creased supply, however, is said to have had no effect on the price, which remains high.
 It is believed that thousands of acres of waste land in the county. too broken for cultivation, will be con- verted into pastures, and, with the eradication of the cattle tick and the lifting of the quarantine, the cattle growing industry will gradually be- come one of the most importan. of the county. Arrangements are all ready being made to bring into the county a large number of thorough bred breeding cattle, and the Faulkne r County Livestock Growers Association IS rapidly increasing in numbers and interest. Dipping vats are being built throughout the county ard so far as can be learned absolutely no objection is being offered to the en- forcement of the cattle tick eradica- tion law.

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Worlds Markets Supplied With Dates
Which Are Grown on Spot Be-
lieVed to Be the Site.

The London markets and stalls are
covered with dates which come from
the Garden of Eden.
A palm tree yields approximately
400 pounds of fruit annually, which
represents an income of about eS. 1t
takes nearly eight years to attain this
state of perfection, but when once
reached, it continues for almost a
century.
Dates can be prepared in many
ways, and are packed according to the
country to which they are being sent
For instance, dates destined for
America are hand-picked, as the Amer
leans will have no others; the Indians
like them sun-dried; while we like
them wet" Our dates are prepared
in a special manner-they are piled
on mating and trampled into a mass.
The date is not the only product of
the palm. The stem furnishes kind
of timber, and the fibers, twisted be-
come rope. Then, again, the buds are
quite fit to eat, and are considered by
some to be o delicacy; and peasants,
too poor to afford a house, weave the
fronds into mating, and so make
quite a seryiceable habitation. Crushed
date-stones form food for the cattle
