VALUABLE HoLsTEIN COW.

The registered HolsteIn COW, Zelpha Kruger DeKol, is owned by the State Agricultural School, Third District, Magnolia, Arkansas.
 She produced in January 1657.5 pounds, or 2072 gallons of milk and 50 pounds of butter.
 The total value of the milk and butter was $71.40, cost of feed S26.95, leaving a profit of $45.05.
 The butter was used and paid for by students and teachers of the school The milk was disposed of in this way and fed to chickens and pigs.
 Skimniiik is one of the most vaiu- able of feeds, and if the farmer feeds all surplus to best breeds of livestock he has at his door a profitable means for handling every pound produced. He may not be able to sell milk to advantage, but he can sell poultry products and hogs This enables him to market at a profit the gross of his pasture and much that would other wise go to waste.
 The herd of Jerseys and Holsteins are proving very profitable at the Agricultural School.
 You are invited to see these cattle.

special to rne Star.
 Little Rock, March 24.--Gov. c. H.. Brough left Little Rock Saturday night for Fayetteville, where he will today preside over a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas to settle the uprising among the students of the state insti- tuition. Several members of he board passed thru Little Rock Sunday en- route to Fayetteville. The question to be settled is the complaint made by portion of the student body against certain rules governing attendance at classes, and the demand that Pres. J. c. Futrail resign. President Futrall has so far taken no part in the mat ter, but will be heard by the board.
 An interesting letter has been re- ceived in Little Rock from Prof. k. G. Nourse, now Professor of Economies at Iowa State University, who was formerly professor at Arkansas University. It was alleged that Prof. Nourse left the University because he was unable to get along with Prof. Futrall. This is denied by Prof Nourse, who states that he went to Iowa because it offered him greater possibilities. He pays Prof. Futrall a high tribute, saying that while he did not always agree with him, he never saw resentment on the part of the president when outvoted by the faculty, and admired his dignified yielding of point which he could not carry.
 As to this tyranny stuff, it is to laugh" writes Prof. Nourse T can't see why the students won't let the University get on it's feet after it's war troubles, setting loyalty and zeal for the school above petty feelings of dissatisfaction with stick law or whatever is the bone of contention. The present day is one of inevitable disturbance, and college communities show it in the small, just as nations show it in the large. Such a time tests the character of our members and shows the quality of our leaders. It should be an occasion for college men and women to hold themselves above school boy strikes and baby bolshevism. It is a time to keep our relative values clear and to remember the prime purpose in coming to col lege is to get an education and that upsetting the work of the University is cheating ourselves and our fellow students of much of the benefit of time spent here. If l were back in Fayetteville, I presume ! should not always find myself in agreement with the President, the Dean, or majority action of the Faculty or Senate. But instead of playing small and selfish politics in emulation of Borah, Lodge and Penrose, should be loyal SUD- porter and not an obstructor of work I should back President Flu trail as I back President Wilson"
 Prof. Nourse is credited with be- ing one of the most popular mem bers of the University faculty with the student body.

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.
Great Hardware Concern Managed by
 s. w. and Henry Tucker.


 s. w. and Henry Tucker. Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, March 24.-The larg- est wholesale hardware house in Ar kansas, the Zones Bros. Hardware Company of Little Rock, is managed by two of the youngest wholesale dealers in Arkansas, s. w. Tucker an Henry Tucker. This concern was organized in 1865 but it was not until 1917 that it was reorganized and the young men assumed control. They ha brought the business forward by use of up-to-date methods, until it is now S600,000 concern. It was these two young men who last week ab- sorbed the Rose-Lyon Hardware Company, itself an institution of magnitude. The building of the Rose Lyon company was destroyed by fire a week ago, and no new location could be secured so the directors con- sented to sell the merchandise in warehouses, invoiced at over S10O,- 900 to the Zones Bros. company. After making this big purchase the young brothers motored to Hot Springs for day of rest, returning Monday morning to tackle the propo- sition of seeing how many employees of the absorbed concern could be cared for.

Those who are familiar with the Judges flowing locks, as he fought for the highway appropria- tion bill, and tried to break the fili- buster which brought defeat to his anti-racing bill, will appreciate the full significance of that statement.

FINS.

The Editor of the Wing, by his
abuse of me unwittingly bears tcsti-
mony b the truth of my warning to
the young soldiers that time would
rob them of any patriotic reverence
they now enjoy and that CERTAIN
newspapers would not only cease to
praise them but become vehicles for
detraction and abuse of them, and
that their services to their country
would not be feather weight in the
scale for political preferment against
the scurviest politician in the land
when deprived of political power by
the death Of comrades.
Respecting the article which drew
his abuse on me, quote here some
passages in letter to me from a
very intelligent and responsible
gentleman of. this county.
"They have the pep that should
make the voter think. Truth is
there is but little political independ-
ence; too much party slavery"
"Just why Mr. Williams of the
Wing chose to fly into a tantrum
over your last one gets me. Deep
down he must KNOW you were pre-
senting the cold, unyarnished facts"
! leave my defense from his mis-
representation and abuse to the good
people of Cecil County.

Jail the profiteers, including the

large refineries in and near New

is moved to the piers for shipment
abroad, while the American people
are sugar hungry The public has
been deceived and defrauded and
Congress, without delay, should ap'
ply the remedy with a prohibition OF

With election day on Tuesday
next, November A, campaign which
has failed completely to arouse en-
thusiasm, and but little interest,
either State or local, is drawing
rapidly to a close.
There are important questions
that are to be considered by our next
Legislature, track gambling,
enforcement of prohibition amend
ment, Federal suffrage amendment,
and others,-but Cecil county's
legislative aspirants, with one ex-
ception, Frank T. Benson, Republi-
CAM who has declared himself, have
played gum-shoe politics the entire
campaign, being afraid to take the
voters into their confidence and
keeping their views to themselves
or side-stepping every attempt to
place them on record.
Such tactics can have but one
effect, that of causing the voter to
regard every such evasive candidate
with suspicion, and SO he deserves te
be.
Race-track gambling is sure te
come before our next Legislature
but Mr.. Benson is the only one OF
our. local legislative candidates who
has come out squarely on the moral
side of the question, and declare
himself as opposed to the evil. The
others apparently are afraid to take
a stand, or at least to let their views
be known.
The local offices to be filled vital
ly concern the taxpayer and the
voter should be Influenced by the
business qualifications of the candi'
dates, and not by party" as the So
called bosses insist and do theil
utmost to enlarge upon.
It is purely business proposition
and should be so considered. Given
the secret ballot every voter has the
opportunity of making his own selec-
tons, and not merely voting for q
candidate because he is a party
man.
