COMPLETING LIST OF
 SPEAKERS FOR TOUR
Acting Director Lasseter on Job Cut Few Off Honeymoon, and is Busy With Tri-State Better Farming Committee.

Little Rock, Jan. 4-With the re- turn of w. c. Lasseter, acting direc- tor of the extension division of the University of Arkansas, work of com pleting the list of speakers for the January profitable farming campaign of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Board of Commerce has been started and will be announced within a, few days. The work of com pleting the charts to be used and in- structing the speakers as to what points to emphasize has also started under the direction of MT. Lasseter and will be rushed to completion.
 Because of the necessity of his work here in Little Rock to arrange for this campaign, MT. Lasseter cut few days off of his honeymoon and re- turned Friday afternoon in time to talk the work over with members of the Tri-State Better Farming Com- mittee which was in session here Fri day. Mir. Lasseter Saturday morning was in conference with D. E. Welty, agricultural commissioner of the Iron Mountain, and George Firmin, direc- tor of the campaign from Little Rock, getting the lineup of counties so far reported and asking for the dates on which the meetings are to be held. The mail received by George Firmin daily is adding to the list of counties that are organized and it was esti- mated Saturday that 20 counties had prepared for the campaign and were advertising the speakers. The coun- ties are waiting now fo dates which will be sent out early next week by George Firmin, who is to have charge of the routing.
 With the closing of the Christmas rush the business men of Arkansas have appeared to have taken an un- usual interest in the campaign and are enthusiastic for the meetings and donating their time to this work. h. dications are that the result of this campaign will be much greater than the result of the 1914 campaign. Coun- ties which failed to take interest in the 1914 campaign are the first to or ganize and the advance men are hay ing no trouble.
 Many suggestions were made at the Tri-State Better Farming Committee meeting here yesterday and will be valuable to the Arkansas men during the campaign.

Little Rock, Jan. 4.-The interest of Episcopalians thronughout the southwest is cenuerlng upon the an- nual provincial synod to be held in this city January 16-19. The visitors will be welcomed by Governor Brough, the Rev. Sam Campbell, president of the Little Rock Ministerial Alliance, Mayor Taylor, and William B.

ARK ANSAS' APPROPRIATION
 FOR GUARD SMALLER

Little Rock, Jan. 4.-From informa- tion gathered by the Adjutant Gen. erals Department, it appears that of fifty states and territories, there is only one that makes smaller appro- priation per annum for the support of the National Guard than Arkansas. The appropriation made this year for the last biennial period was $12,500 per year, and that for Mississippi was $10,O00. Nevada is the only state that has no organized militia. New York leads with an appropriation of ST. 937 7,876.76, and South Carolina and Alabama are the nearest to Arkansas with $15,000 each. The appropriation for the Arkansas National Guard in- cludes all salaries and other expendi- lures for the National Guard. Nearly every state in the Union has it's state owned armories, arsenals, camp and maneuvre grounds and rife ranges, while Arkansas has none.

DUTY COMMISSIONER TO RE-
 PORT TO PROSECUTING ATTY

Little Rock, Jan. 4.-In his annual report, Labor Commissioner J. C. Clary says on the subject of law en- forcement:
 Under the law creating the Bureau of Labor and Statistics it is made the duty of the Commissioner to report all violations to the prosecuting at torney and that he (prosecuting at torney) shall enter prosecutions. The attorney general has given the Com missioner opinion that the Commis- sioner of Labor has no further au- thority than to file information of the violations with the prosecuting at torney. If this section of the law was so amended that the Commissioner would be empowered to file informa- tion before the justice of peace, with out having to give bond for cost, we believe would be of great benefit in getting speedy enforcement of the labor laws. As it seems that the pro- scouting attorneys are too busy, with prosecutions that they deem of. more importance to the state than to take up the prosecutions of the labor laws. Therefore, we have drafted a bill covering the Labor Law Enforcement.

CAPITAL CITY WORRIES OVER
 REGULATING POOL ROOMS

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-There are 29 pool rooms in the city of Little Rock of which eleven are operated by ne- groes There are 113 tables, of which 37 are in the negro pool rooms. The average value of the pool tables is $500, so that there is total of about $34,000 invested in pool tables alone, not counting the fixtures, the city and government license, and the other eX- penses.
 The regulation of these pool rooms has presented a most serious question for the city, and numerous ordinances have been passed providing rules for their operation. The greatest diff culty is in the prohibiting of rallies and petty gambling, which, if given free rein, would soon become an un- breakable nuisance. One day last week, the license of one of the places was revoked, following conviction of permitting raffie to be operated in the place. The law prohibiting minors from playing in the pool rooms has also been difficult of enforcement.
 The proposition is now being con- sidered by the city council to penalize boys who tell the proprietors that they are twenty-one years old, when as a matter of fact they are not. Another plan proposed is to issue the licenses monthly instead of annually, making the reissuance dependent upon strict obedience to the law.
