HIS FAVoRITE CARNIVAL

Editor, Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Honolulu.
Sir: With regard to the inquiry ap-
pearing in the Star-Bulletln of the
2Sth ultimo under the caption of
What Carnival Feature Has Pleased
Icu MOST" will say that the decora-
ton of the streets was a very pleasing
feature of the carnival period and one
which appealed to me as much as any
thing else and with a view to making
suggestion rather than criticiZing, |
would like to see the Decoration Com
mittee IN the 1918 carnival decorate
each pole along the main streets in
the town portion Of the city more
specially along the line of the parade.
This can be done by taking about two
or three branches Of cocoanut palms
and placing them around the base OF
the, pole. 1t will not be large. job
and l know there are lots OF people
ready and only too glad to Cit a
branch or two from each of their
trees. .... -
Hoping this will help some, remain
Yours very truly,

UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The most important thing
about universal military service, to
secondary and of far less value to
the people as whole, is. its leveling
propensities. No man is any better
than the leaven of his achievement,
and there must be a common standard
of measurement for all. Such thing
is of vast importance in this day and
time, when the law so often fails to
lay itself the full length of the indi-
vidual II the young man stepping
forth into the world of achievement
does not recognize the fact that ne
is being measured every minute Of
his life he now, as a rule, becomes a
that he should be dealt with according
to his propriety.
He is the freeman whom the truth
makes free,
And all are slaves besides
Renegade sentiment is today play.
ing havoc with everything.
If the United States of America
keeps cut Of the European war our
peers will have proved their worth.
There is 40 menace to this country in
Europe. The menace is in it's incep-
I,tion right here at home. 1t is the be-
lief that license is freedom.
Time and space have been practi-
cally annihilated 500 per cent within
the past 100 years, and ary code Of
ethics or law that has not wholly re-
generated within that time is obsolete
There is no system Of government
going to fit the demand save a uni
! versal concentration of law.
This must be dome not only in spirit
but literally in deed and action. Their"
must be a combination of coercion
and rights, always as immediate as
conditions will permit With the lines
of demarcation concisely drawn.
The country should have universal
military service. and all should have
the right of suffrage commensurate
with service.

be beautiful.
The magnificent paintings | must

New Circular Gives Best Cotton Varieties to
 Grow

Desiring to help the farmers of the state determine the best varieties of cotton to plant this year, the Experiment Station of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville has just published for free distribution Circular No 29, A Summary Report of Cotton Variety Tests during 1916. The information in this circular was compiled by w. E. Ayres, As sistant Agronomist, and should be valuable and interesting to cotton farmers of the state. It gives the value per acre of the first picking and the total yield of seed in the lint for 51 varieties of cotton in tests at Mena on hill land and at the famous Scotts neighborhood on bottom land. The circular also gives a summa- ry report of cooperative tests each of which includes 15 to p varieties. These tests were con- ducted in Arkansas, Drew, Faulk. ner, Jefferson, Lee, Pulaski and Sebastian counties in which the Experiment Station officials worked with the farmers under the direction of the demOnstra- ton agents of the Extension Di- vision. In addition, the circular gives the length and percent of lint and the number of rolls per pound for all varieties reported, as well as the source of seed.
 Every farmer in Arkansas should have thls circular for the valuable information which it contains. Why not secure it now? Free copies can be had by writ ing to the College of Agriculture Fayetteville.

this purpose if the members of the County Court consider it ad- visable. Altogether, it is esti- mated that during the next two years there will be about S120. 900 of State funds available for tick eradication, exclusive of what the counties may contri- bute.
 Practically all this money, it is said. will be expended on the employment of men and the pur- chase of the necessary building material and chemicals for the dipping baths. The labor neces sary in constructing vats will be supplied by the people who are to use them. This has been the practice in the past and the in creasing interest in the work makes it certain that the people will be more willing than ever to contribute in this way.
 The Texas eradication law di- vides the State into three zones and places the administration of the law under the State Live Stock Sanitary Commission. Be ginning with 1919, the law be- comes effective in each of these zones in successive years, the delay being intended to give cat> tlemen an opportunity to adjust their business to the change which accompany eradication.

Compulsory Tick Eradication
 Tn Four States

Washington, D. C.-The pas sage of recent tick legislation in Texas and Arkansas makes-or soon will make-tick eradication compulsory in four States-TeX. as, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. In Mississippi the law is now in force and is expect ed to result by the end of 1917 in driving a wedge of tick-free ter ritory through to the Gulf of Mexico. A similar law will go in- to affect in Louisiana in 1918. In many sections of the State. how ever. the people are anticipating the law and systematic eradica- on work is planned for this season in about 20 counties. Many of these, It is expected, will be ready for release from quarantine on or before Decem. Der 1, 1917.
 In Arkansas a number of acts were passed by the legislature in February and have been sign ed by the Governor. They now provide for a five cent tax on each head of cattle in the entire State, the money to be expended in tick eradication, and appropri- ate as well $50,000 for eradica- tion work in the next two years. In addition, the counties are au thOrized to use county funds foI

the principles of compulsory eradication is indicative of a great change in the popular atti- t1de toward the tick and will. it Is believed, do much to hasten the conquest of the pest in it's re- maluing stronghOlds. Practically all of Virginia, the greater part of No1 tn and South Carolina and
 Mississippi, and much of Ala bama have already been freed under the plan of leaving to each county to determine whether or not it should rid itself of the tick.
 The steady increase in the tick free area has. however, made it all the more important to com plete the work without delay, for the full benefits of eradication can not be realized as long as a tick free county is surrounded by or adjacent to ticky territory Eradication is, therefore, ceasing to be a matter of local and is be- comidg one of State concern.

Arkansas Greatest Year
 for Good Roads

1917 will see more Permanent Highways constructed than any year in history of State is pre- diction.
 County units of the Arkansas Good Roads & Drainage Associa- tion are to be organized through out the state according to R. 0. Scnaefer, Secretary, Little Rock The Arkansas Good Roads &c Drainage Association which has been i'll existence since 1888 and which has accom- plished great things for the state has planned for a year of great activity. Mr. Scbaefer who is publisher of the Southern Construction News and in close touch with the road situation in Arkansas. predicts that more roads will be built in hrkansas during 1917, more road bond issues, and more con stfuction contracts let for high grade roads than any previous period of the states history.
 Senator E. E. Alexander, of Blytheville, author of the Alexan der Roads Law is President Of the Good Roads Association. He has just appointed an executive committee to outline a campaign to organize county units Of the state association which will be expected to send delegates to the next annual convention which it is planned to make the grandest and greatest in the history of the association.
 The newly appointed execu- tive committee is composed of the following: E. P. Molitor, Hel- ena, Hamp Williams. Hot Springs, J. s. Abercrombie. Benton, C. Albert Walls Lonoke c. A Hilhouse, Newport, Will Akers, Geo. W. Donaghey, H L. Renmel, T. B Dickinson, Robert o. Schaefer, of Little Rock.

The location near the homes of the owners and in re glons of intensive local markets is very advantageous.

Farm Woodlands Valu-
 able

Since the farm forest, or wood lands, supply fireWood, fence posts, poles, building and other timber necessary for successful agrlcu4ture, their protection and management become legitimate ly a part of farm work. By the sale of choice grades and surplus common products woodlands add directly to farm profits. The farm forest if properly handled is bank account against which the owner can check each year in the form of timber removed without any reduction in capital
 In the value of forest products derived yearly from the farm, according to the last census, North Carolina led all other States. The materials, including rewood, fencing timber, logs, railroad ties, poles, naval stores, cooperage stock. and some other products, amounted in value to S21, ,364, 134. This was an average for the 61 s per cent of the farm reporting of S72 per farm, Forty eight per cent of this amount represents the value of materials used on the farm, and the bal ance, or S5, ,949,674, tine value Of all cut products sold or for sale and standing timber sold.
 Two thirds of the total forest lands of North Carolina are in farms. These 12, 450 GOO acres of forested farm lands possess great possibilities for timber production. Fire production is

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends;
 This is to again remind you of the fact, that on April 9th, the day set for the R ral School Commencement Day, we expect to have a meeting of the Direct ors Association This meeting will be held at the Lonoke High School building from g to 10:30 A. M,
 Leading educators, among whom will be State Supt. J. L. Bend. will address you on mat ters of importance pertaining to your duties as directors. and the meeting promises to be one of interest. This, in my opinion, is a much needed organization and one that will do a great good to ward bettering the general con ditions of our schools. If this or ganization can be perfected it will give the County Superin- tendent and the directors of the county better chance to work in cooperation with each other. and Tn this way much more good can be accomplished, as this will enable us to make our plans more definite.
 We urgently request the pres ence of every director who can possibly come, we hope to make this great day for you, and we feel that you owe this little effort on your part to your respective schools.
