The game commission has power

Representative Bald Binson, an
ardent sportsman, gave the House a
very Exhaustive synopsis of the bill in
explaining its good features, and dec
laring that Arkansas has lost $3,078.-
1888 worth of game in the 20 months
preceding June, 1916, through the
shipment of game from the state. He
declared that 20,000,0O0 pounds of fish
have been sent to foreign states to
market, which at an estimated value
of 10 cents per pound, was the loss of
81 100000. He figured that 10000
barrels of duck have been shipped
from the lakes of East Arkansas in
this time, and each barrel contained
an average of 80 duck, making the
total, 100000 Seventy five per cent
of this was shipped out by non-desi-
dent hunters, according to Mr. Vim
son. Ninety deer were saved dur
ing the high waters in East Arkansas
last year by game wardens, stated Mr..
Ninson
In closing his argument, Mr.. Vim
son stated that Maine is receiving
from game licenses enough each year
to pay the expenses of all depart
ments of state government. He assert
ed that California is receiving from
the same source $3.50, per annum, and
that Arkansas in 1915, in spite of
the laxity of the laws, received $18,-
900, and only $4,000 of this was
necessary to maintain office and field
forces.

TRUSTED SERVANTS SET
HOUSE AFIRE AT NIGHT.

Many houses are set afire, usually
at night, by trusted household ser
wants in the form of electrical irons,
coasters, platewarmers, curling irons
and similar contrivances which are
coming more and more into common
use, says circular just issued by the
Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, of Little
Rock. The only absolute safety that
lies in the use of such things is to
make it an invariable rule to discon-
meet them from the source of electric
supply when they are left unattended,
even if one is going but to answer the
door bell There is always a chance
that one may not return as soon as
intended and he who realizes that even
a good memory is often treaenereus
saves himself much trouble. Il you
leave an electric iron with current
on and unattended the chances are
you won't remember it until yeG smell
smoke and that, says the bulletin, may
be too late. 1t is further pointed out
that many fires of this nature happen
at night hours after appliance has
been left.

HAVE WINTER LAYING HENS

Eggs always bring the best prices
during the winter months. Hens that
lay at this time are the most desirable.
Pick out those you know have been
laying during the past winter season
and use them for eggs to hatch. 1t
is mistake to use the entire flock
for breeding purposes. 1t always pays
to select the good layers Use only
young vigorous roster in the pens
Never use under sized, coarse or over
fat birds of any kind. Remember, the
pullets and yearling hens are best for
fall and winter laying Most hens
over year old are not profitable
layers. Plan on having the birds
which you wish to keep for laying
purposes hatch as early as possible
so that they will start to lay before
cold weather. This is another I'M
portant factor if you wish to have
eggs when they bring the best prices

Little Rock, Feb .21.-If women gain
partial suffrage in Arkansas in this
of the legislature, Earl E. Plowman,
Gazette reporter, will deserve as
much credit as the author of the bill
which passes, though it is doubtful
if it will be accorded him. Someone
down in Texas discovered that the
Constitution of that State, which is
Arkansas until the | & R began to
work upon it, did not prevent women
voting in the primaries. 4 bill was
introduced in the Texas legislature to
extend suffrage to the women in pri-
mary elections, and Plowman read the
story With the true newspaper in
stinct Plowman started out to see if
there was not a story of the same
kind possible in Arkansas. He met
another newspaper man and asked him
what chance there would be to get the
bill introduced in the Arkansas legis-
lature. Plowman is no suffragist, but
he saw good story for his paper and
wanted it. The compatroit was well
advice and the bill drawn, Representa-
ent legislators, and knowing that
Representative John Riggs, another
newspaper man, was an ardent advo-
cate of Votes for Women" Plowman
was sent on quiet hunt for Riggs.
The following morning the Gazette
contained first page story about the
possibilities of a bill that would ex-
tend suffrage to women.
Just as rapidly as he could get loyal
advice and theb i'll drawn, Representa-
tive Riggs presented the bill to the
House, and when it comes to a fight
on the floor, or pulling wires under
the cover, Riggs is an artist, and his
bill passed the House in a very few
days by tremendous majority. Mr..
Riggs wa salmost Hobsonized by the
suffrage lobby, but he survived and
continued to smile, and his bill was

DEATH OF WASHINGTON
ON the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant
While travelling about his plantation
on December 10, 1899, the day being
rainy, Washington was thoroughly
drenched and to use the phrase of the
time, was seized by an inflammation
of the windpipe which, followed by a
cough, rendered breathing difficult.
Two doctors from Alexandra were
called, but before their arrival they
found that a surgeon in the ne ghbor-
hood had administered first aid by
bleeding, taking IA ounces of blood
from Washington's arm.
The two surgeons agreed that the
case was serious and therefore pro-
ceeded to bleed the patient again,
"copiously' as they put it, and then
gave his calomel To their dismay he
failed to improve under the treatment
and they bled him for the th!ri time
this time taking quart of blood from
the father of his country. These
bleedings, failing to bring relief, the
doctors administered more calomel and
caused their patient to- inhale the
fumes of vinegar and water. This
treatment was soon changed and the
patient was given or 6 grains of
tartar emetic, and the doctors then
said. what must have been correct,
that the "pokers of life seemed to
Weld to disorder" At the last the
physicians did the one harmless act of
their course of treatment, as they
applied blisters to their patients feet
and poultiees of bran and vinegar to
his throat. And then he died. Very
likely the physicians died with the idea
that they did all that could be done
for their distinguished patient, but
successors in the art disagree with
them. What will the physicians and
surgeons of fifty or seventy-flve years
hence think of the present day treat
ment of half dozen disorders Like
the Alexandria surgeons, the doctors
of today are using all the knowledge
at their command 1t is their misfor-
tune, not their fault, that they art
horn too soon

papers reiterate today that General
Carranza's recent note to neutral ma

grounds and is neither pro- German nor

likely that Mexico would risk the
hostility of a near neighbor to favor
the doubtful friendship of nation

PLAN FOR FALL CALVES

Now is the time to plan for fall
calves. Calves dropped in the fall will
not have the flies to contend with and
by the time they are ready to eat very
much there will be plenty of green
foo dior them in the spring In addi-
ton, the fresh COW will give greater
returns during the winter months. At
this time labor is the cheapest and the
price of milk is the highest and you
will get the greatest returns for the
feed which you use. Then, too, dairy
cows fresh during the winter months
will be getting dry about the time
other work opens up and there will
not be as much milking to do
