sas, thanks to our state secre- tary of the Board of Health. the National Bureau of Public Health and the women's clubs and the county agricultural and the home demonstration agents and others. This will mean much to the state. Public health is an asset; sick ness is a public liability. Flies and mosquitoes must be kept out of the houses. More attention should be given to the sources of drinking water. The biggest menace to health in Arkansas is the miserable outdoor privy and the next is the foul well.

Anent the Newspaper Law

Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law relating subscriptions.
 The following are the deci- sions of the U. s. Supreme Court on the subject:
 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the con- trary are considered wishing to renew subscriptions.
 2. If subscribers order a dis continuance of their periodicals, send them until all dues are paid.
 3. If subscriber refuses to take the periodicals from the postoffice to which they are di- rected they are held responsible until they have settled their bill and ordered them discontinued.
 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher. and the papers are sent to the former address they are responsible.
 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or removing, and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intention al fraud.
 6. If subscribers pay in ad- vance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, Otherwise the pub fisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be held responsible until an excess mo- tice with payment of all arrear- ages is sent to the publisher.
 The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes the paper and refuses to pay for it.
 Under this law the man who allows his subscriptions to run for some time unpaid and orders the postmaster to mark it re fused" and postal card is sent

Helping the Editor.

These be perilous times for the newspaper man. The Spectators s account with our wholesale house each month now is easily twice what it was not much over six months ago-and not much of it is accounted for by increase in business either. It is simply that the prices on everything we have to buy has practically doubled in the past few months.
 Spectator subscribers can be of great assistance to us in car rying this extra burden if they will remember to come n promptly these days and pay their subscriptions -on the day they expire-or before. Every dollar we get or do not get counts these days with the editor and while the little dollar we ask for our paper may look

every farmer anxious to plant wheat, rye or oats for cover crops and for winter pasture. Let every patriotic man in Ark ansas urge his neighbors to have enough winter pasture for all his stock and lots of green stuff to blow under next March. Rye may be seeded for winter pasture from now on up to the first of November, in cotton and corn middles or in other fields. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture is engaged with it's whole force of IA people in a campaign for clover and other winter cover crops and is grateful for the assistance of the business organi- cations of the state, the Arkan- sas Bankers Association, the Farm Bureaus of the Memphis and Little Rock, Boards of Com- merce, the railroads and the many other patriotic agencies in state.

Plan More Terracing.

Now is the time to plan for terracing pasture fields and corn fields and grain fields. Where there is a county agent, call on him for laying out the work and for instruction. Don't let out lands wash away to the gulf. With terracing and with cover crops, Arkansas hillsides will return richer profits. Watch the hillsides!

About County Agents.

F'ifty-one counties in Arkansas have invested in county agricul- tural agents and it is the best investment ever made by any county. The county agent pays for the investment in many ways. One agent reports the vaccination of 2SOO hogs in ten months; another has vaccinated enough horses and cattle for anthrax to pay his a ary for twenty years; anot t h CT,
 in addition to h is other duties has conducted a campaign for screen doors and windows and has reduced the cases of malaria; agents below the quar- antine line have built several hundred vats and have supervis- ed the dipping of thousands of cattle; in all the counties they are directing the campaign for clovers and cover crops and from their work there will be thou sands upon thousands of acres of clovers and there will be more acres of wheat and rye and oats for winter cover crops than ever before.

Stare SupeTinteadant's Views
on Selecting Parish Supt.
I. H. Harris Strongly Adj
vocates Appointment by
School Board.

In order that the schools Of the
state may not get mixed up will
politics, State Supt. Harris
strongly urges that the Parish
school board appoint the super.
intendent Of education and not
under any circumstances to leave
his election to the popular vote.
We quote from recenct letter
from Mr.. Harris addressed to
Mr.. F. B. Bateman, president Of
the parish school board:
think it would be a distinct
step backward to throw the seIec.
ton Of the parish superintendent
into popular election. This is
true no matter how intelligent the
voters are or how earnest they
may be in their efforts to secure
the most competent official for
the office of superintendent.
Teachers who may enter the race
for this office will naturally eX-
pect to win, and in order to do so
they will make combinations with
political factions and pomises to
voters that will prove a detri-
ment to the best interest of the
The result would be that
the parish superintendent would
occupy the same position politi-
cally that the sheriff, the clerk Of
court or the assessor, occupies.
The schools should be kept out of |
politics, and the most effective
way to do this is to elect the |
in the manner pro.
'ided by law, viz, to permit the
people to elect a small school
,oard and then charge that board
With the duty of selecting the
superintendent.
My opinion is that your board
las acted wisely, and should the
committee attempt to
brow the selection Of the super
ntendent into a popular election,
think the school board should
.ecline to appoint any man who
his name to be voted
lpon in the popular election.
Yours sincerely,
T. H. Harris.

LEGISLATURE GETS BUSY.
Committee Named to Draw
Primary Law Cattle Dip
ping Bill Assured.

Both houses Of the Legislature
began to grind in earnest Thurs
day. Numerous important com
mittee hearings We're held. \
clear road for the statewide cat.
tie dipping bill aimed at the cattle
tick appeared certain. The
Byrne bill carrying the 100000
bond issue for New Orleans slid
through the House with little op-
position. The vote was 10G to s.
Under suspension of the rules
it was carried to the Senate city
affairs committee Immediately.
Governor Peasants message,
dealing chiefly with the financial
situation, was received and read
in both houses. Reading of the
message was followed with close
attention in both chambers but,
as it is rather complicated, most
of the members waited the oppor-
tunity Of reading the printed
message.
An increase in the state, $ reve-
nue. by one of three methods of
increased taxation stands out as
the feature of the message. The
total state deficits figured at 81,
.23o, 512.9l, which includes the
obligations of the penitenriary,
conservation commission, general
fund and money borrowed for
storm and other emergency pur-
poses.
Abolition of the state board of
appraisement and equalization
and substitution of a state tax
commissions; substitution of a
superintendent for the conserva-
ton commission, and of a general
for the penitentiary
board and recommendation of
dual assessments, a different
basis for state and local assess
ments being permitted, are the
other chief features.
A caucus of Democratic mem.
bers of the Legislature was Or
ganized tonight in the House
chamber with ninty representa-
lives and twenty-five senators
present.

was elected CHAIRMAN and CON-
mittees were appointed on rules
