LIQUOR FOR OWN
 USE LAW VIOLATION
U. S. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS DRASTIC IDAHO STATUTE IN NORTH CAROLINA LAW IS CON STRUED IN LIKE MANNER.

Washington, Dec 10.-With a de- cision upholding the Idaho prohibition law, the supreme court today gave an opinion which may be one of the most far-reaching victories for bone dry prohibition yet recorded.
 It was held that a citizen has no constitutional right to possess liquor for his personal use if state wishes to forbid it.
 Justice McReynolds, who gave the courts opinion that state has power absolutely to prohibit manu- facture, gift purchase. sale or trans portation of intoxicating liquors with in it's borders, without violating the constitution"
 We further think" he added, it clearly follows from our numerous decisions upholding prohibition legis- lation that the right to hold intoxi- eating liquors for personal use is not one of those fundamental privi- leges of citizen of the United States which no state may abridge A contrary view would be incompat- ible with the undoubtable power to prevent manufacture. gift. sale, pur- chase or transportation of such ar ticles-the only feasible ways of getting them.'
 An assured right of possession would necessarily imply some ade- quate method to obtain not subject to destruction at the will of the state"

RED CROSS SPECIAL
 HERE ON WEDNESDAY,
FRENCH AND BRITISH OFFICERS WILL ADDRESS CITIZENS or MARIANA AT ELkS HOME AT s:3o O'CLOCK.

The famous Red Cross special now being operated in various sections of Arkansas for the purpose of arousing the people to the impor. tance of increasing the membership in the Red Cross society, will reach Marianna on next Wednesday mora ing at S:2O. and will remain here until $50. The local officers of tho Red Cross have already made ar rangements to have the Marianns Commercial Club band meet tho visitors and escort them to the Elks Home, where they will deliver short addresses. beginning at S:3O. This will perhaps be the only opportunity, the people of Marianna will have te hear the French and British officers. At other points in the state where the Red Cross special has been op- erated large crowds have assembled to hear the speeches. Hon. Harry Fl. Myers, formerly of Brinkley. now of Little Rock. is in charge of the train. w. S. McClintock and Mrs. ]. l. Morris, president and secretary res pectively of the Red Cross chapter here. urge all the people of Marianua to make the sacrifice necessary to be at the Elks Home promptly at 8 o'clock next Wednesday morning. It is probable all the business houses in Mariansa will closefor one hour from 8:3O until 9:30. so all may at tend the Red Cross meeting.

YANCEY DISCUSSES
 STOCK IMPROVEMENT
TICK COMMISSIONER SAYS RAlS- ING OF QUARANTINE WILL BE
 MUCH TO CATTLE INDUSTRY IN THIS SECTION OF THE STATE.

The Courier-Index is in receipt of the following letter from c. w. Yan- cey of Maryell a member of the tick commission having charge of the tick eradication work in this district: Editor CourierIndexi
 The cattle tick fight is over, ex- cept little skirmish here and there where the ticks may be found on few herds in the county in 1918. St. Francis, Lee, Phillips and Monroe counties. the last remaining counties in the Northeast Arkansas tick eradi. cation district, were taken out of quarantine on December 1, thus mak- ing White. river the quarantine line across the state This will enhance the value of all cattle about $10 per head. while not increasing the price of beef cattle on the local market in the future, because we will put as many pounds of beef under a two year old hide as we heretofore put under three year old hide when we had the fever tick. While this is very important, it is not as import ant as the fact that we can ship in from the north and west pure bred cattle without fear of them dying with splenetic fever.
 Lee county, especially at this time, stands in need of a great many registered bulls of the different beef breeds. And in the absence of a stock law, we need a bull law for the entire state. Since I have lob bied three legislatures, alone and without help, to get the tick law so it would be operative. I believe I am competent to lobby a bull law through the session of 1919, copied after the Colorado law. Three years ago carried the tick fight alone. In this part of the state I was laughed at on every street corner and at the cross roads. Some people said they thought l was. losing my mind Others said l was tick crazy; while few who didn't like me said wasn't crazy. but just a natural darn fool. But l was never charged with the worst crime on the calendar, that of being a quitter God loves a sinner. but he has no sort of usc for a quitter I have becn 'cussed over four unties. should not have been 'cussed in the other three counties, and don't mind it in Phills ips, because if they were not cussing me about cattle ticks in my home county, it would be about something else. l am used to it here at home"

HEAVY SNOW STORM

The heavy snow storm on Friday afternoon and evening of last week covered the ground with the deepest snow on record in this section at this season of the year. So far as is known no serious damage has been done as result of the snow. Farm CTS believe the extremely cold weather that has prevailed during the past week will kill out the few boil weevils that infested some of the fields the past season. Under the heavy weight of the snow on Saturday morning several awnings gave way and the big barn near the county jail in which the mules be- longing to the road improvement dis trict are kept, fell in under the heavy weight of snow. Fortunately, the animals escaped injury.
