Friction Among Peace and Court Officers of the City
Municipal Court Judge Su bmits to Cross Examination by Council, Tho He Poi nts Out That Body Has
 No Authority to Re view Courts Acts


 Indication of the lack of co-opera. tion among the peace and municipal court officials of Pine Bluff was given at the council meeting Inst night. AL dsrman E. T. Miller. chairman Of the police committee. invited an cxp;ana- tion from Municipal Judge Earl s. Wood In regard to procedure in the cases of pr. J. H. Edwards. who was fined 8 and costs last week on a charge of assault and battery on 3 plea of guilty under the state law to beating his former wife. Edwards had posted a forfeit Of $ with the po- lice for appearance for trial on a similar charge growing out of the game offense. Judge Wood ordered this forfeit turned over to the mu. nicipal court clerk to apply on the fine and costs. Edwards having de ducted the amount of the forfeit in settling. 1t being understood that this would apply on the fine.
 Judge Wood, appearing voluntarily as he later in the discussion empha- sized. explained that the prosecuting witness in the Edwards case filed complaint in the afternoon. and a warrant was issued on that comnlaint under the state law. He said the first information he had oe Edwards having posted Q forfeit with the police was when he took Nu the dockets the next morning. Az he had made 1t a rule to fine men who beat their wives 425. and as the case under the state law had first been initiated he pro. ceeded with that first.

Origin of Coal.

The very useful article known as coal is fundamentally vegetable-the product of chemical and other action upon the base vegetable growths of the carboniferous age. The same thing may be said of the diamond, which is nothing more than chemically treated carbon or vegetable. Any half decent book on geology will tell you all about what coal is.

Burning Leaves Is
Wasteful, Announce
State Authorities

Leaves are heritage to Mother
Earth. Let them be used as' God
intended. Why burn them7"
With the foregoing as a conclu6
ing sentiment, the state department
OF public welfare has just issued a
statement announcing that the
value OF the crops from the 10000
acres of land at state institutions
for the calendar year 1918 is esti-
mated at $7So.0eG the result Of in
tensive agriculture, part of which
has been the saving of leaves Tor
fertilizer
Burning leaves is robbfng the
soil of something that can be put
back representing millions of dol
lars in value to the people" says
the statement. High prices due
to the war have caused the q state
institutions under the department
of public warfare to save wherever
possible and a strenuous effort has
been made TO increase the yield
from their farms and gardens.
an certain of our institutions the
saving Of leaves started year ago
and this year all of them have been
instructed to do likewise. AS a re
suit the farm and garden produc-
ton last year has been greatly in
creased.
''The farms consist of about ten
thousand acres of land. For the
three past fiscal years ending June
80 the yield from the farms, gar
dens and diaries was: For 1916,
1890, 600; for 1917, $3.50, 600, and for
1918, s549, 600
1T is estimated that the crops
for this year, up to Dec. 81, 1918,
including those unharvested, will
amount to at least $3.50, 900.
This tremendous crop is not
only due TO the favorable season,
but to the work OF the state author
