His Pants Set House Afire

The other day an Arkansas man hung q pair of greasy oVeraIls Tn d closet of his home That night his house caught fire and burned to the ground. His family escaped because their dog was light sleeper amt they managed to save their night cluthes
 It cost him $2 625 S2 to find out that a pair of greasy ovtrali~ hanging in q closet could ignite by spontaneous com bustion. Thanks to the country and city newspapers of Arkansas thousands of Arkansas people are reading the fire prevention warnings stnt out from time to time by the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, and there is atready an aWak- enlng as to the case with which hun dreds of thousands ot dollars of annual fire loss in this state could be averted, say those who are sprv4ang the gospel of fire prevention. They call attention to the fact that the public pays for this loss. not the lnsu'tnce companies Ine less the fire loss the less the in surance rate in given state South ern Construction News

or deliver wine for said purposes to any priest or minister of any religious de- nomination or sect
 " @ For any person, firm or insti- tuition to have shippvd and have de- livered alcohol for strictly medicinal or mechanical purposes; but records shall be kept by the carrier or delivering party of all such wines for sacramental 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 1t was the intention of the legislature to absolutely prevent the importation of intoxicating liqnors ex- cept for sacramental, medicinal and me- chanical purposes.
 Nowhere does there seem to be any exception or provision in this bill which would allow man to go to another state or another place in this state and bring back intoxicating liquors in any quantity except when such intoxicating liquors are to be used for sacramental. medicinal or mechanical purposes.

State Highway Petitions

Petitions have been circulated in all the towns along the Valley Division asking the state legislature to pass a bill providing for the formation of an improvement district for the purpose of building a highway to connect with the Little Rock Grady highway at Grady and practically follow the railroad south to the Louisiana line, eXempting only such portions as are already formed in to districts under the Alexander Road law. The bill as outlined in the peti- tion has the O. K of our County Judge E. P. Toney. and seems to meet the ap- proval of practically all of our citizens Henry Bordeaux, secretary of the Board of Trade, handled the petition in Dermott, sending 1t in Monday night with d goodly number of names.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Sept. IL. =
An American warship, conveying
the little gasoline schooner Anvil
on which a colony Of American
|slackers was attempting to reach
Mazatlan, Mexico, was due here
today,
According to reports from En-
senada, the warship overhauled
the Anvil late Sunday 100 miles
south of Ensenada. Since June
1, a small economy of draft evad-
ers has lived in fancied security
and extreme ennui at 'Ensenada.
Stories of this colony" have
reached San Diego thru returning
Americans. With nothing to do
but twiddle their thumbs, life
palled on the youths, and they
chartered the Anvil to go to
Mazatlan.
The navy department was told
