ARKANSAS STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Meets in FOrty-Ninth Annual Session at Little Rock March 29, 30 and 31-Prescott and Brinkley Only Enrolled.

w. E. Lasseter, secretary of the Arkansas State Teachers Association. has addressed a letter to the superin- tendents and teachers of the Arkan- sas schools urging them to enroll and attend the Forty Ninth annual session which will be held in Little Rock on March 29, 30 and 31.
 The sixteen hundred county attend ance leaders are busy advertising this meeting and many of them are send ing in enrollments every day. Nine teen enrollments came in this morn- ing's mail. As yet, only two of the larger schools have their entire facul- ties enrolled, viz: Brinkley and Pres colt. Won't you see to it that your school is among forty to enroll within the next ten days? The town and city schools should take the lead in this advanced enrolment. The honor roll, list of the schools and teachers enrolling in advance will be distrib- uted among the teachers on the open ing day of the association.
 The officers are sparing neither time nor efforts to make this meeting the best ever held in Arkansas. The legislature now in session in Little Rock has been asked to give official recognition to the Association, give teachers credit for attending and have school boards pay the regular salaries of teachers employed by them while in attendance. Your interest in this matter and the enrolment of your teachers now will do much toward giving the Association the standing it should have. Let's make the Ar kansas State Teachers Association the biggest in the South. We can dc it, if you are sufficiently interested tC do your part.

IS ST.
 VALENTINES DAY
You May Get a Picture of Your self as Another Sees You Custom of Sending Carica- lures is of American Origin.

Wednesday you probably will re- ceive a colored caricature with a sar- castle verse underneath it if you have incurred the enmity of small boy. or some flowers if you are girl, or possibly nothing more than rainy day if you are somebody else. It is St. Valentines day.
 St. Valentine is supposed to have been a Roman martyr of the Third century. The story is that the pagan Emperor Claudius sent blind girl to convert Valentine to organism, and that instead Valentine restored the girls sight and converted her to Christianity. Claudius then mpris- oned Valentine, tortured him and fin- ally had him beheaded on February IA.
 The present tradition regarding the day are believed to have come from the Roman festival of Lupercalia in

Later a similar custom prevailed in England and France, during the reign of Charles II of England, and the young man was supposed to be the faithful ser want of the woman whose name he drew for one year. The woman was called his valentine" Caricatures American Custom. The custom of sending caricatures is of American origin, extending back only few years. Postoffice statistics show that the custom of sending pos tai cards and other valentines" has declined since 1905 at a marked rate, Recently the custom of giving flowers or other small gifts, including jewel ry, has gained in favor, according to merchants.
 St. Valentines is ore cf the oldest observances in the Christian world, being older than Halloween. Shakes peare mentions it, and the traditions of the day in Hamlet, act w., scene V:

BONE DRY LAW BARS
 PERSONAL CARRIERS
Attorney General John D. Ar buckle Says Liquor Can Be Received Only for Uses Speci- fled in Bill

fled in Bill
 No person is permitted to go to an- other state or another place in Arkan- sas and bring back intoxicating li- quors in any quantity unless the liquor is to be used for sacramental, medic inal or mechanical purposes, accord ing to the opinion of Attorney General John D. Arbuckle on the ""bone dry" , law announced yesterday.
 The opinion was given in response to request from T. G. Parham of Pine Bluff, prosecuting attorney oi the Eleventh judicial circuit, who asked for the construction of the first section of the "bone dry" act, as to whether it prohibits person bringing into the state for his personal use a reasonable amount of liquor The attorney generals opinion fol- lows:
 "Section 1 of this act provides That it shall be unlawful for any rail- road company, express company, or other common carrier, or any officer, agent or employe of any of them, or any other person to ship or to trans port into, or deliver in this state in any manner or by any means whatso- ever, any alcoholic, vinous, malt, spir- itous or fermented liquors, or any compound or preparation thereof com monly called tonic, bitters or medicat- ed liquors, from any other state, ter ritory or district of the United States, or from any foreign country, to any person, firm or corporation within this state, when said liquors, or any of them, are intended by any person interested therein, to be received, pos sessed or sold, or in any manner used except as provided in section IF
 -"You will note from the reading of this section that the only exception is set out in section IT of the same bill which reads as follows:
 "'That nothing in this act shall make it unlawful CD for any priest or minister of any religious denomi- nation or sect border and have shipped and delivered wine for sacra- mental purposes; nor for any common carrier, corporation or person to ship transport, carry or deliver wine for said purposes to any priest or minis ter of any religious denomination or sect.
 "'(2) For any person, firm or in- stitution to have shipped and have de- livered alcohol for strictly medicinal or mechanical purposes; but records shall be kept by the carrier or deliver ing party of all such wines for sacra- mental purposes, and all such alcohol, and statement thereof shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit court within 10 days after such delivery "There is no question from the read ing of section 1 and from the reading of the exceptions set out in section IT | but what it was the intention of the ! legislature to absolutely prevent the , importation of intoxicating liouors ex- cept for sacramental, medicinal and mechanical purposes.
 "Nowhere does there seem to be any exception or provision in this bill which would allow man to go to an- other state or another place in this state and bring back intoxicating li quors in any quantity except when such intoxicating liquors are to be used for sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes"

terday for Spartansburg, N. c., where
he will have charge of Red Cross work
in connection with the training camp
there. He will be back, however, to get
into the Fusion campaign.
"A better Mayor could hardly be
chosen" said Mr.. Dietrich, "and a great
deal worse Mayor might be forced on
us through mistakingly nominating a
separate Republican ticket and giving
Tammany an easy victory"
Mr.. Morrissey, who, as he says, has
been a Democrat all his life, and ex-
poets to die Democrat, admires Mayor
Mitchell because he never shirks fight.
Mr.. Dressler, speaking for sentiment
around the Wallabout Market, said he
and his associates look upon the record
and the outlook of Fusion as certain to
bring victory. Mr. Dressler and Mr..
Dietrich also praised the work of Bor-
ough President Pounds Of Brooklyn.
