COLLEGE DEGREES.

The literary degrees distributed by colleges at their annual commence ments, are in the main a recognition of useful work performed. They rep resent of course largely study rather than positive constructive achieve ment. The man who by special re- search has become a Doctor of Philos- ophy may in actual life be too much of a theorist to perform any useful civic or economic service. But usually 1t indicates capacity for work and an intelligence which is very useful in the world.
 The title thus secured from some in- stitution of high standing is an honor one should be proud of. But many colleges are very careless in the way they distribute these favors. There is a suspicion that any man who will "come across" with tn, price of new dormitory can get them. The trouble is, that the less important college is. the more freely it discharges these volleys of capital letters.
 Originally the degree of Bachelor of Arts was sought only by those who de- sired to follow the profession of 8 scholastic investigation. If one of teacher, or wished to live a life of these anOeuC DOOhWOTIHS COu'u Scc Oui modern Bachelor of Arts a3 he runs bases or hangs around the stage doors of theatres, he would be much aston ished. The degree of Doctor of Di- vinity Is handed around with a free dom that makes us a laughing stock in Europe.
 Theoretically academic degrees may be contrary to the American spirit of opposition to titles. But practically no one quarrels with them if they are awarded on merit. The newer and weaker colleges should have greater care in their choice. To hand out these honors to pushing melodies re- fleets on the institution that does 1t, and stamps it as a center of undis- eliminating and mushy education:

Interprets Prohi Law.

In charging the Pulaski County grand jury Circuit Judge R. J. Lea stated that the giving of liquor for medici, al purposes, for use in the church as a sacrament, and the gift of Q social drink, where it is not used as subterfuge to cover up an actual traffic in whisky, are not viola tions of the statewide prohibition law that became effective in Arkansas January 1, 1915. Suppose man in a social way with companion, if he were a man who indulged in it's, with out any hope of reward or interest in the world to accrue to him from 1t, should give him a drink of whiskey out of the bottle that he had. That is not, in my judgment, within the meaning of the law. And l have sev- eral reasons for saying it.

Check Sent Depositors.

State Bank Commissioner John M. Davis mailed to depositors of the de funct Merchants and Mechanics Bank of Argenta checks covering 10 per cent dividend on deposits they had in the bank when 1t failed, January 12, 1914. A total of 60 per cent has been paid to depositors. The deposits amounted to approximately $65,000. Suits against the stockholders of the bank for a 100 per cent assessment on their stock will be brought soon, MT. Davis announced. An assessment was levied late last summer but none of the stockholders paid it. The suits will not be prosecuted until case which involves the legality of such as easements is passed upon. The case affects the defunct Bank of Leola and is now pending in the Grant Chancery Court.

A KEW DISCOVERY

"Anuric" is a recent discovery tf Doctor Pierce, who is head of the h. valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Experi- ments at Dr. Pierce's Hospital for sev- eral years proved that "Anuric" is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid. For those easily recognized symptoms of inf1ammation-as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheuma- tism, it is simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" acts; and in gravel and gout, invariably the pains and stiffness rap- idly disappear.
 Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for 50-cent package of "Anuric," or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg

JUDGE TRiEBER SUSTAiNS DE MCRRER OF ST. FRANCIS
 LEVEE DISTRICT.
WEST SIDE WAS PROTECTED
Court Declines to Presume City Engi- neering Department Believed the
 Levees Were Not Intended to
 Be Permanent. O
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Judge Trieber, in the United States district court, handed down his deci- sion on the demurrer of the defand- ants to the complaint, in the action brought by the city of Memphis against the St. Francis Levee district, the Memphis Bridge company, and the railroads which built approaches to the bridge, for S2,O00,O00 damages al legged to have been caused by over flowing considerable part of the city of Memphis, and destroying a great deal of it's property.
 The demurrer of the levee district was sustained upon the ground that, as 1t appears from the complaint that the levees have been permanent em- bankments ever sn-ce 1909, and the suit was not instituted until 1915, the action is barred by the Arkansas stat ute of limitations, which is one year for such actions against levee and drainage districts.
 On behalf of the city of Memphis, 1t was contended that these levees were not of a permanent nature, by reason of the fact that until lately there would be breaks every year and only until they kept on widening and strengthening them, and raising the height, have they become dangerous to the city of Memphis.
 The court held that, while the plain tiff in it's complaint alleged that these levees were not of a permanent ma ture, the facts set out clearly show that they were intended to be perma nent when they were built, 15 years ago. The court says that, it cannot for moment presume that the off cers of the city Of Memphis, especial ly It's engineering department, evel entertained the idea tI < these levee: were not intended to BAarmanent They knew that the sole of con structiug them was to prevsHfsss1sshe wa ters of the Mississippi river fro pod ing the lands of the a .Ie0Alci basin.

Drainage District Void.

The supreme court passed upon two important cases originating in Craighead county.
 The legislative act creating the Cache River Drainage District In Craighead, Jackson and Lawrence counties was held invalid, the court refusing to grant the Morgan Engi- neering Company relief in a claim for $15,652 against the district for engi. neering services.
 The original act creating the district was enacted in 1911, but insufficiency of definite boundaries of the propos ed district made it invalid.
