PROHIBITION LAW
Is AGAIN UPHELD
Constitutionality of Two Con-
tested Sections Declared
Good BY Supreme Court.

Little Rock, June 19.-The
supreme court today passed
upon two contested sections of
the statewide prohibition act,
UNFOLDING in each case their
constitutionality.
The law was attacked be-
cause a corporation, for viola
lions of the law, could not be
punished only by a one-year
penltentiary sentence. Secondly
because the law fixed the pun
.lshment and left no decision
with the judge or jury, and that
1t denied the right for a Judge
to suspend sentence.
All the contentious were oy-
erruled by the supreme court.

CARE AND ATTENTION
OF LATE POTATOES
Good Seed Should be Used and
Planting Done About 18th
or goth of July.

The early potato crop IS
about ready to be dug and mar
keted. and the time to consider
the late potato crops is here
Nothing is more necessary for
table use than the potato. EY-
pry hotel and restaurant IN the
land serves potatoes practically
every meal, 365 days in the
YEAR This is an index to the
value of the potato as table
food 1t is at the home OF the
notato. on the farm, where this
nutritious and edible vegetable
is absent at the greatest num-
Der of meals. This should not
be- and the difficulty can be
overcome. Too many of our far
mers content themselves with a
small crop Of early potatoes
and fail to plant a late crop,
with the result that the early
potatoes do not keep through
the fall and winter and the
family does without potatoes
through the winter or they are
bought from the store at high
price. This should not be.
Splendid varieties of late po-
tatoes that are good keepers
can be grown where the early
potatoes grew. They will keep
we'll through the winter with
ordinary care, and will help
round out many a good meal.
Often an early variety of po-
tato is planted as d second crop
but seldom with satisfactory re-
suits. One trouble IS the poor
stand and another is the poor
keeping qualities Of some ofthe
varieties.
To get good stand for a
second crop of an early variety
always use potato of last
years crop, that has been kept
in cellars or cold storage. Colo
storage potatoes of last year,
crop planted in two or three
days after taking out Of stor

HOW CATTLE TICKS
AFFECT THE PRICES
Government Report Shows
Ticks Cost Arkansas Farmers
Enormous Sum Every Year.

According to a report just is
sued from the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, the
cattle over two years Of age in
ten tick infested states-North
and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklaho-
ma, and TeXas-was $3.50 on
January |, 1916. For the re-
mainder of the country on
that date, it was $48.47. In
every tick-free State, with the
excetion of Vermont and Ten
nessee, the average value was
$40 or more and in eighteen
the average was over $50.
There are two reasons why
cattle in a ticky country are
worth less than in a tick-free
one. They weigh less and they
bring less per pound. They
bring less because they cannot
be sold on the open market but
must be disposed of in quaran-
tine pens for immediate slaugh-
ter only. Experienced dealers
estimate that buyers offer from
fifty cents to two dollars a hun
dred less for cattle from below
the quarantine line and the own
er. who cannot tranShiD his
herd to another market or sell
the animals as feeders, IS in no
position to stand out for bet
ter price.
Ticky cattle weigh less be-
cause they are scrubs to begin |
with and because the ticksucks |
the blood they need to make |
flesh. Experiments have shown |
that when the ticks are album
dant they will take in the |
course of a year 200 pounds of |
blood from a thousand-pound |
steer. They don't take it all at |
once of course, but they take
it nevertheless and the steer,
in order to live, has to make
new blood. While he is busy at
that, he is not likely to put on
much weight. Fattening ticky
steers is like trying to keep a
leaky barrel full there is a lot
of waste in the process.
Furthermore, as all cattle
men know, there is more money
in grade stock than in scrubs.
Elsewhere in the country farm
ers are turning their attention
to grading up their herds, to
securing animals that will re-
spond to good treatment and
feed; in the tick-infested sec
tions Of the South this has been
impossible for no one will risk
bringing pure-bred bulls into
ticky country to die from Tex
as fever.

He stressed the fact that character
building through education must
keep pace with material progress in
order that a civic and political equi-

that the fall of empires through the
ages has been due to a disproportion-
ate increase of material wealth with
social and civic progress.
In urging the great work to be
accomplished in this field by the
rural school, he stated that the
dormitories of all the institutions of
higher learning in this State, If fill
ed to their utmost capacity, will af-
ford room for only ten per cent of
the high school graduates. What a
