serum is, undoubtedly, due to several reasons, chief among which is the fact that the farmers throughout Arkan- sas are coming to realize the value of their hogs, not only because of the present high prices paid for them, but they know that when they lose an ami nal they have lost some cash In ad dition, a great many men have inn ported better animals during the past year and they are determined to pro- tect them and their offspring with the best serum at hand
 "In recent months we have had a number of inquiries from farmers throughout the state asking when we expect to cut the price of serum. At the present time it is being sold for
 one and one-quarter cents per cubic centimeter and many have expected us to cut 1t to one cent, the price most frequently quoted by comercial firms. In answer to this we can only say that we have always sold the serum manu- factured by the state serum plant at cost, and we will continue to do SO. A number of times we have set a date on which we expected to cut the price of serum; however, we have been un- able to do so, because of the increased market price of hogs"

FAULKNER COUNTY MAN
 PARDONED BY GOVERNOR
Frank Chamness Sufficiently Punish ed, Says Presiding Judge and
 Prosecuting Attorney.

Upon the recommendation of Judge Thos. c. Trimble of the Faulkner cir cult court; J. B. Read, former prose- cutting attorney of the court; the off, cials of the county, and about 200 oth- CT citizens of the county, Governor Brough yesterday pardoned Frank Chamness, sentenced July 28, 1915, by the Faulkner circuit court to serve five years in the penitentiary for as- sault with intent to kill.
 The petition says that Chamness, a farmer living in the northeastern part |of Faulkner county, shot and slightly wounded man whom he found in his field, after the man refused to leave. Chamness pleaded guilty with the promise from the prosecuting attor- lney and his attorney that he would receive a sentence of one year. In letter to Governor Brough Judge Trimble says that at the time he did not believe that the punishment of one year was sufficient, but since
 that time an amicable adjustment of
 the difficulty has been reached and that the man who was wounded, as we'll as
 those in the neighborhood where the
 trouble occurred, were anxious that
 Chamness be ardoned. Judge Trimble
 also said that he believed that the de-
 fendant had been sufficiently punished
 and recommended his pardon. Letters
 from penitentiary officials stated that
 Chamness had been model prisoner
 and endorsed the petition for pardon. Chamness was represented by Col. JG. w. Bruce of Conway.

 Pounds of Pork Was Saved.

Little Rock, March 7.-The state serum plant of the University of Ar kansas has been working day and night most of the time during the past month turning out serum for the farmers to use in immunizing hogs against hog cholera. In January, 585,000 cubic centimeters were bought by Arkansas farmers Since it takes about 40 cubic centimeters for every 100 pounds of hog, the serum sold during January would protect 1,462,- 800 pounds of pork from the dreaded hog cholera that carries off 90 per cent of the hogs that die in the state each year from disease.
