PUBLIC HEARING RELATING
 TO GUARANTY LEGEND ON
 LABELS FOODS AND DRUGS

Washington, T.. C., Feb. 21.-A hearing on the question of postpone ment of the effective date of Food Inspection Decision 153, which in substance forbids the use of guar anty legends and serial numbers on labels of foods and drugs in inter- state commerce, will be held in the Bureau of Chemistry, 216 18th St., IS. w., Washington, D. C., at 200 o'clock p. m., March 10, 1916.
 This decision, issued May ,, 1914, as originally promulgated, was to take effect May 1, 1915. Later, the date on which it was to take effect was postponed until May 1, 1916, with the proviso as to products packed and labeled prior to May 1. 1916, in ac- cordance with law and with the regu- lations in effect prior to May 5, 1916.
 Numerous requests recently have been made to the Department for a further postponement. Those re- questing this action represent that manufacturers and dealers still have on hand large quantities of labels printed prior to May ,, 1914, and bearing the guaranty legend and ser ial number. It is represented that this supply of labels in the aggregate cost many thousands of dollars, and that unless they can be used their owners will sustain a severe loss.
 On the other hand, many manufac- turers, in expectation of the new regulations going into operation next May, have already eliminated the guaranty legend and serial number from their labels.
 All parties interested in the ques- tion, whether in favor of the exten- sion or opposed to it, are invited to attend the hearing and present such facts as may be material Those un- able to attend in person may submit their views in writing. Communica- tions should be addressed to the chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, U. s. De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

REDUCED RATES FOR
 ANNUAL TEACHERS MEETING

Practically all the railroads in Ar kansas will sell tickets at a reduced rate to Little Rock, on account of the Arkansas State Teachers Association which will be held at Little Rock, April 6, 2. 8, 1916. Secretary Lase- ter, of the State Teachers Associa- tion, states that all the roads in the state have given him assurances that round trip tickets for the occasion will be placed on sale April 1, 5, G., with return limit April 9. This with the many other inducements of fered by the city of Little Rock, and the strong programs of the Associa- tion, should cause majority of the teachers of the state to attend the Association.
 Already teachers from all parts of the state are enrolling for the Asso- tiation, more than two hundred hav- ing already enrolled. The entire teaching forces of many of the schools have enrolled, among them being the following towns: Brink ley, Batesville, England, Malvern, Stuttgart, Conway, Rison, Bearden, Tomberlin, Sherrill, Blevins and Big gers.
 Secretary Laseter expects to enroll fifteen hundred teachers during the advanced enrolment campaign. Ev- cry teacher in the state should attend the Arkansas State Teachers Asso- citation.

CORN CLUB WORK
 TO NEGRO BOYS

Supervisor Leo M. Favrot hopes to be able to extend the work of the Corn Clubs to the negro boys of the state, if he can secure the necessary assistance. He says:
 "As yet we have received no infor- nation from the head of the Exten- sion Department of Farm Demon stration forces in Arkansas regarding the organization of boys clubs. We hope, however, to furnish agents with some information about this matter a little later. Last year almost nothing was done in the way of organizing and promoting corn clubs among the negro boys of the state. There is a distinct demand from many farmers that such work be carried on. but we are not in a position to carry it on, unless we can cooperate with the government forces in doing so."

PHASE OF MODERN

Advertising Adds to Buyers In- fOrmatiOn-Every Buyer(and Everyone is a Buyer) Should Read Advertising-It Pays.

MT. c. A. Gormley in conference here today with Mr. c. F. Putnam of the Prescott Hardware Co.,. local distributors of FEED pro- ducts, had this to say of advertising:
 Tt is phase of modern efficiency. It adds to the buyers information. He is the one most benefited. It sug- gests to him things of use, comfort, convenience, or pleasure.
 At a glance he can tell if the things fit his needs or wishes. A sec ond glance tells him where they are to be had. His time, his efforts, his money are time saved. He is more efficient buyer. Every buyer (and every one is buyer) should read informative advertising, because it pays"
 MT. Gromley's house, the General Roofing Mfg. Co.,, is one of the largest national advertisers. That it has we'll paid them is evidenced by the fact that out of every five rolls of roofing sold one is CERTAIN-TEED.

GIRLS INDUSTRIAL
 SCHOOL FOR STATE:
Next Legislature Will be Asked to Re-Enact Measure Which Was Lost in Great VetO"- Hodges and BrOugh Pledged.

Little Rock, Feb 2l.-The next Legislature will be asked to re-enact the law passed by the General As sembly of 1915 for the establishment of girls industrial school in Arkan- sas. The institution was lost In Une Great Veto, but those who have been interested in the proposed school re- fuse to become discouraged. Dr. Brough and Secretary Hodges are both pledged to the proposition, show ing the popularity of the plan, and it Is believed that pressure will be brought to bear upon the lawmakers that will be irresistible. The people throughout the state who are in favor of the school are urged to confer with their legislators and get them com mitted to it.
 One of our principal workers for the school is Miss Julia Houston, of Pine Bluff, chief probation officer of Jefferson county, who recently visit ed the state industrial home for girls at Chilicothe, Mo- She took a ward of the Jefferson court to that school, and says:
 "I'm ashamed to have to confess out oud that the state of Arkansas provides no place at all for one of it's own wayward girls, and that we have to go to Missouri, Tennessee, Louis jana, Texas, or some other state to find the restraint and protection they need"
 Miss Houston found in the Chilli cothe home 220 immoral, incorrigible or otherwise delinquent girls under IS years of age, most of them under 16, many of them from the underworld of St. Louis and Kansas City. They are living in cottages, under the most salutary influences, with healthfuI employment, and Sunday School and music, and art and home life She was told by the supervisor that drunkenness. debauchery, the death Of one or both parents, pauperism, crime, abuse, and illiteracy are the coumuons that force four-ffths of the inmates into the institution.
 Miss Houston also visited the Boys Hotel in Kansas City, the Kansas City Juvenile Court, the McCune In dustrial Farm, and the Bonneville State Industrial School "They've got a lot to show us up there in Mis- souri, and they are justly proud of what they havc,' said Miss Houston.
