WANTS MILITIA
 FROM ARKANSAS
Gen. Funston Also Asks for Oklahoma and Louisiana Guards for the
 Border Patrol.

San Antonio, May 24.-When Secre- tary of War Baker today refused Gen. eral Funston's request for more coas: artillery, the general asked that addi- tional militia be sent to reinforce his troops.
 He asked for the National Guard regiments of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
 It is said that General Funston pre- viously asked for the regiments from these states in addition to those from Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. How ever. Secretary Baker declared that the militia from the latter three stat es would be sufficient.
 It is believed here that at least par; of the Arkansas. Texas and Oklahoma militia will be mobilized to serve on the border.
 General Funston is said to have Secretary Baker that even with the endorsements recently sent him, many weak places in the border pat rol remain.
 rhe mili ia now in camp here vii: start moving toward the border to- morrow. First the Second Texas will go to Brownsville. Next, a regiment will move Saturday to Eagle Pass, and two days later another regiment will enter the Brownsville district. Gen. Henry A. Hulen of the Texas militia, will be stationed at Brownsville in the command of Brig Gen. James Parker.
 Reports from General Pers hing e-- day told of the activity Of Mexican troops to stations nearer the front, but there was nothing to indicate that the motive was other than to establish an effective police force. General Funston and his staff have kept them- selves informed closely of the MeXi- CaHS movements

IMPROVEMENT
 IN CATTLE
But There Is Room For a Great Deal MOre, Says D. K. Forester.
 Get Rid of Ticks.

Little Rock, May 26.-The quality of beef cattle in Arkansas has improv- ed wonderfully in the last two or three years, but there still is much room for improvement, according to D. R. For rester, animal husbandman of the ex- tension division of the University of Arkansas and of the United States De- partment Of Agriculture.
 Department of Agriculture statis- tics for January 1. 1916, show that the average value of beef cattle in Arkan- sas is $17 per head" says MT. Torres ter. This is higher than the average value in any of the states southeast of Arkansas, but it is the lowest average value of any state as far north or we-, as Arkansas. The average values in adjoining states are: Mississippi $14.10; Louisiana. s16SO; Tennessee, s22.sO; Texas, s33.1o: Oklahoma s37.- 90; Missouri, s3S9O.
 The total number o beef cattle in Arkansas is 523,00O. with a value of sS,891 GOO, while Oklahoma has 1,188,- 900 head valued a. $44,949 900. Thus Arkansas has nearly half as many beef cattle as Oklahoma. but the value is only about one-fifth.
 However, the situation in Arkansas is very encouraging. More care and bought is being given to the raising O. cattle than ever before
 First Get Rid of Ticks.
 '"The first step. of course, is to ge: rid Of the ticks. Every county fin the state that has not already freed itself from ticks is aking up this work. There are dipping vats in every coun- ty.
 Second in importance is the grow ing of more tame grasses and to qui, forcing cattle to eat oak leaves. This year 9 larger area is teing sown to grass in Arkansas than ever before. In some counties more grass has been SOHO tLIS SpIHlS llldu UclQ Deeu SO A II in the las five years. This should be repeated another year for there are millions of acres in Arkansas that are returning their owners nothing.
 "A third essential is the use of pure bred bulls. The calf of scrub COW sired by a pure bred bull is worth at least $20 when it is weaned. Thus a calf eight months old Is worth 8 more than the average value of Arkansas cattle. More than $50 head of pure bred beef cattle have been brought in to Arkansas this spring. Their value is so appreciative that more will be brought in constantly. That Arkansas farmers appreciate the value of pure bred bull is shown by a letter that l received from John Nahan of Cotton Plant.
 Raise More Rough Stuff.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A new class has been formed
in the high school for the stu "
of vocal music. They will maer
Wednesday night after schoe
and learn to sing by note.
Laura Maude Lyons, entered
the high school last week and
took her place among the Juniors
She plays the cello and is valu-
able addition to the high school
orchestra which now numbers
twelve pieces.
There will be a spelling contest
Friday after poon between the
high school and the seventh, and
eighth grades. 1t will bea titan
ic struggle For the high school
pupils are proud of their ,distinc-
tior and the grades are determin-
ed to lower their colors.
1t is quite probable that another
course Of entertainments will be
put on again next year. The
course that closed with Miss Lynn
Feb. 23rd gave excellent satis-
faction and the people desire to
have these high class entertain
ments continued,
After an absence of several
weeks in IL hospital in Denver
Carolyne Dagger returned to
school Monday apparently well
recovered. Her many friends
were pleased to see her looking
so well and hope that she will
soon be entirely recovered.
The county board of education
for the school met Friday and
rejected all of the school teachers
to their same positions they are
now holding this year. This:was
very gratifying to the teachers
for they prefer an early electi n
rather than wait till May as many
boards do.
