We are glad for them to have it. We
suppose scme of them will take in
the foot ball at Clinton. That does
not interest us in the least Some Of
the boys we saw at Camp Sewer the
other day were getting mighty good
exercise digging trenches and dig
ging up trees by the roots and chop
ping wood and that latter would be
good exercise for some of the college
boys, and to throw an axe to the mark
would be just as good training Of the
eye and the muscle as punching one
another in a foot ball game, but no
doubt they think differently, and if SC
it all suits Us very we'll and we have

1t does not seem to us that it
should require any campaign Or any
argument or any urging to get the
Saruners to see the Importance Of
raising enough bread and meat at
least to feed the people in this State;
30 that instead of shipping -four and
Germ and meat here it could go to
feed our troops in the camps at home
and abroad and to feed our allies.
It is good business sense at any
time for the farmer of this section
to grow on the farm What he needs
for the farm and at this time it is
supremely important for his veal as
well as for the good OF the country.
The man who grows all cotton even
at the present prices and has to buy
his supplies will not make any money
1t has been proven time without end
when cotton was high and when cot
ten was lew. Plant wheat and oats
and all the other food crops pou can,
raise hogs and cattle and You will
DO doing service to yourself as we'll
as your country. II you do not do
ii the time may come soon when there
VIII be hungry people in this coun-
Try. and with all the cotton and money
you may have be unable to satisfy
that hunger. That sounds funny now,
NO doubt, to some with the abundance
that they may have, but If we do not
grow food stuffs it will be reality.
There is great waste now in all de-
partments among private individuals
and in the government management
as any one may see who will just
move about little and open his eyes
and look, but that seems unavoidable
and will take some time to regulate
The government works has demoraliz-
ed all labor In this section Of the
seaptry so that it is difficult to get
ansshing done z<
There is scarcity Of fuel and yet
peHty of wood hereabout but it is
dsalt to get 1t chopped:
With half million and soon a mil
hon and maybe even more taken out ! !
OF the industrial works and from the /
ftsads it is natural that there should
he aemoralization and 1t means that
there must be cooperation and mutual
avtng and taking until we can get
adjusted to the new order. You can
no longer do things in the usual and
beaten paths Of the days just gone.
There Is q new order and adjustments
are necessary and the changes have
Aeen 50 sudden and SO rapid that We i
are shaken out of position as it we're.

That was an awful tragedy in
&reenvtlle this week and it is well
that the solicitor Of that circuit is
going to bring the parties to trial on
the charge of murder. 1t is just as
Senator Bonham says, the running Of
an automobile at a reckless rate of
speed on a public troughfare Is the
same In principle or wose than firing
a gun through crowd. And II any
parsen should be killed the Law will
presume malice.
There Is a law now against any one
driving car while under the In
aasnce Of whiskey, and It Is said
these negroes who raa over the man

MEASURE CREATING OFFICE
 FIRE MARSHAL DEFEATED

Little Rock, Feb. 0-Notwithstand- ing the urgent special message of Gov. Brough for the creation of the office of fire marshal, the earnest and eloquent speeches in its favor by Representative Josephs and Johnson. and the expressed willingness and de- sire on the part of the insurance men for the passage of the bill, the House yesterday afternoon defeated the Josephs bill by vote of 27 to 61. It was shown that the expense would be borne by increased taxes from the in- surance companies, but they were willing to bear that extra expense be- cause of the added protection they would receive against incendiarism and carelessness, and by the elimina- tion of the element that operates against the moral hazard.

HARD FIGHTING GOES
 ON IN MESOPOTAMlA
British and Turks Sway Back and Forth in Struggle-Berlin Claims British Attacks at MeSSineS Fail.

London, Feb. 19.-British troops on the left bank of the Tigris river, in Irak, took the offensive on Saturday afternoon against the Turkish posi- tions at Sannaiyat, says a British of ficial statement issued today, and oc- cupied two Turkish front lines on a frontage of $50 yards and $40 yards, respectively.
 The Turks launched two heavy counter attacks and forced back the British right wing to it's original line The British left wing repulsed the Turkish counter attack, but when night came the troops were withdrawn from their newly won positions.
 The text of the statement follows:
 "On the aftrnoon of Saturday an assault was made on the Sannaiyat position on the left bank of the Tigris and the enemy's two front lines were occupied on front line of $50 yards and 450 yards, respectively.
 1.-Two heavy Turkish counter attacks were launched, the first one hour and the second one and a half hours after we had obtained possession of these trenches. The former counter attack was repulsed, but the latter was part ly successful and forced our right back to the original line. Our left, how ever, held on till dusk. when it was withdrawn under cover of our artil- lery barrage.
 "On the south bank of the Tigris, west of the Sumran bend, further pro- gress has been made"

PRESCOTT'S WATER
 RATE IS REDUCED
Fix Motor Rate-COmmittee Ap- pointed to Install Lights in City Park-P. &. N. w. Grant ed Right to Construct Siding.

At it's mid-month meeting last night the city council considered and passed more needed legislation than at any previous meeting in several years. Those present were: Mayor R. P. Hamby, Aldermen Beidelman, Blake ly, Buchanan, Davis, Moore and Ted ford and Recorder C. H. Tompkins.
 An ordinance was introduced, read three times and passed granting the Prescott & Northwestern Railroad a right of way across the city's prop erty at the power plant for a railroad spur to cross the street in front of the power plant to the property for merly occupied by the laundry. The railroad company will erect an up-to- date packing shed on the old laundry site and this track insures cheaper dray rates for the city in the unload ing of coal, machinery and supplies at the power house door.
 The water meter rates were chang ed and beginning March 1st, 1917, the following rates are effective:
 First 10000 gallons, at 4Oc per 1000 gal; next 10000 gallons, at 200 per 1000 gal; next 10000 gallons, at 15c per 1000 gal; all over 100000 gallons, at 10c per 1000 gals. Mini mum charge per month, $1.00.
 The following power rates for cleo tric current consumed by motors, over 1 12 h. p. were provided, effective March 1st, 1917:
 First 400 k.wh. at 5c per kwh.; next 600 k.w.h. at 4c per k.wh.; all over 1000 k,w.h. at Sc per k.wh. A committee composed of Mayor Randolph Hamby, Alderman c. H. Moore and Superintendent L. C. Ham, by was appointed to install necessary lights in the City Park, this commit tee to work in conjunction with a member of the Park Improvement As sociation.
 The new water rates mean a great saving to the ordinary consumer, but slightly increase the rate charged the large consumer The present water rates are:
 2,000 gallons or less, $1.00; 2,000 to 5000 gallons at soc per 1000 gals; 5000 to 10000 gals. at 45c per 1000 gals 10000 to 10000 gals. at 4Oc per 1000 gals; 10000 to 3OO0O gals. at 35c per 1000 gals; and so on until the consumer of as much as 150,000 gals. received flat rate of 10c. The new rate is on stepping scale, as is used by gas companies.

AN OASIS IS DISCOVERED
No Violation to Bring Liquor for Per
 sOnal Use. Rules Judge Haynie.

Lewisville, Feb. 19.-Circuit Judge George R. Haynie today expressed the opinion that the new bone dry bill does not prohibit a person from bring ing liquor into Arkansas if he brings 1t into the state personally, for his personal consumption.
 Judge Haynie expressed his opinion during the reading of his charge to the Lafayette County grand jury. He said:
 "I regret to be forced, by the word- ing of the act, to say that it does not prohibit the bringing or transporting of liquor into the state by an indi- vidual for his own personal use. The act prohibits only the bringing of IT, quor into the state by any person or corporation to any person. that is to say, it prohibits the bringing into the state of liquor by any one person to be delivered to another person. The only lawful manner under this act by which any individual can bring whis- key into this state is to bring it in person for his own individual use"
 Judge Haynie said that he hoped the bill introduced in the legislature to prohibit the bringing of li1uor into the state by any one for his personal use will become. law, because, he said, some of the counties of his dis trict adjoin Louisiana and Texas, and 1t is thus easy for the purpose of the law to be defeated.

"Thcre are no public SCHOOLS in Ok

the grade or grammar schools, R. II.
Wilson, state superintendent OF schools,
said today
Complaint against the teaching Of
German exclusively in some institutions
made yesterday at the state teachers
association, was directed against private
schools supported in most cases 10y
church organizations" Mr. Wilson said.
"The state has no jurisdiction over
| these schools and that is the reason the
association by resolution appealed to
congress to enact a law that would
make it impossible for such schools TO
continue
Mr. Wilson has been opposed to the
eaching OF German in the public schools
It all In this he has met opposition
rom members OF the state board Of ed
ication, who favored the teaching Of
German in high schools by making it an
elective subject

which was presented to the state board
