IT IS CLAIMED BY THE COUNTY THAT IT HAS SUITABLE
 PLACES FOR FLIGHTS.
MEMPHIS ALSO IN FIGHT
From a Standpoint of Natural Advan- tages Nothing Will Be Found Bet ter Adapted Than Prairies Around
 Forrest City, It Is Said.
Forrest City

FOfreSt C1ty.-
 In the matter of an aviation base CT station just now being sought some where in this territory by officers of the United States army, St. Francis county has bid to make. This coun- ty is in position to offer the govern ment ideal and convenient plots of ground for it's aviation camp or camps and it is the opinion of many here that in making this offer St. Francis county should have the hearty SUD- port and cooperation of those leading Memphis business men who are work ing so unselshly to secure a division camp of this all-important arm of the service through the perfection and training of which it is believed by many prominent military experts the war must be won and the victory over Prussian autoeracy gained.
 Right here in Forrest City may be found a most admirable site upon which to make ascents and descents, designated official landing places by the bureau, while a few miles further west on the Goodwin prairie, where the land is fiat, level and rolling and clear of timber as far as the eye can reach, even better sites may be se- Iected.
 From standpoint of natural ad- vantage nothing will be found better adapted to the purposes of training fan aviation corps than this open prairie country. True these ideal sites are 40 or 50 miles from Memphis, but 40 or 50 miles to an airship is the mere batting of an eye
 The proximity of this territory to the Mississippi River, Memphis and the gulf should and no doubt will, if concerted effort is put forth, give it's claims first call when the government begins to select it's sites for training it's flying corps. The citizens who have this project uppermost in their thoughts bring the government repre- sentatives to St. Francis county for an inspection upon the occasion of their visit to Memphis and, if they are so fortunate as to find what they want here, get it for them; then both Memphis and Forrest City will en- joy the benefits and prestige that must follow the establishment of a large aviation base in this territory.

SUPREME TRIBUNAL AFFIRMs ACTION OF GARLAND COUNTY
 CIRCUIT COURT.
LIQUOR APPEAL REVERSED
Public Carrier Cannot Be Held Liable When Alcohol Alleged Ordered For Lawful Purposes Proves Ordered
 For Illegal Purposes.
Little Rock

Little Roek.- Conditions existing in Hot Springs during December, 1916, and January, 1917, were given an airing in Su- preme Court decision which auto- matieally busted T. J. Bledsoe. sheriff of Garland county, from office.
 The decision affirmed action of the Garland Circuit Court in fining Bled- soc $5 and costs and busting him from office for failure to seize and burn gambling paraphernalia. Efforts were made to obtain a reversal of the Bledsee case because of the ac. tivities of Circuit Judge Scott Wood in procuring indictments against Bled- soc. It was contended that his activia ties in the grand jury room disquali- fled him from hearing Bledsoe's case. The Supreme Court declared that the majesty of the law was at stake and that an acute issue had been drawn to determine whether the law should prevail or crime should run rampant and offenders go unpunish- ed. Exigeneies of the situation de- manded radical action by the circuit fudge the court said.
 Several gambling halls, alleged 10 have been run openly, were named in the courts opinion. One, known as "The Mint" contained four poker ta- bles,o senate table, one faro bank, one klondike table, one roulette wheel, craps tables and other para phernalia for gambling.
 If public carrier, after an hon. est investigation, believe an alcoholic shipment is for medicinal, mechani- cal or sacramental purposes, and later 1t is determined that the alcohol was for unlawful purposes, the carrier cannot be held liable, the court held in reversing a decree of the Pike Circuit Court fning the Wells-Fargo Express Company $100 and costs.

The University of Arkansas. head. quarters to be at Fayetteville. has es. tablished a general extension division, and B. c. Riley, recently appointed director, has taken charge. MT. Riley, who has been editor of publications for the agricultural extension divi- sion, came to Arkansas from the gen eral extension division Of the Univer- sity of Indiana, where he was in charge of the community welfare ac- tivities put on by the division throughout the state In statement made to W. B. smith, president of the board of commerce. Mir. Riley said:
 President J. c. F'utral has long recognized the possibilities of a gen eral extension division, but until re- gently no funds were available for enlarging and making the work a dis tinct department in the university. Through the general extension diyi- son every effort will be made to help as far as possible and practicable with the limited appropriation availa- ble, the communities of the state in solving some of their problems. There is no question but that every commun. ity has various problems which it can not meet successfully alone, and con sequently it can use to advantage an agency which will draw on wide re- sources to help in the solution of it's local problems The university has large resources of its own and can enlist the energy of many other ageH- cies to aid in community betterment, and since the state university is sup ported by all the people of the com monwealth it should have the maehin- cry whereby these resources can be made available for wider public use. A general extension division will pro- vide this machinery.
 "The various activities of the gen. eral extension division will be carried on with an effort to help the towns people after somewhat the same man. her in which the agricultural exten- sion division carries on its work to help the farmers. $ *"
