STATE SUPERINTENDENT COMMENDS PATRIOTISM
 OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. Recommending the patriotic work done by the public schools during the last two years, State Superintendent J. L. Bond says;
 "The Department of Education feels that this patriotic work should be continued along definite lines in the schools-there should be definite work of this character outlined for the schools, and time should be found in every school for this work to be given. The opening exercise period once week might be used to fine advantage for this work-it might well be correlated with some other school subject. In any event, this work should find definite place on the program of every school in the state"

STORING UP WHISKEY.

Searcy, Jan. 3.-The supply of whiskey in Searcy continues to in- crease, although the residents of the town pursue the even tenor of their way, as the liquor is safely stored in a steel-mound vault, where no one drinks it and thieves do not break in and steal it. The latest addition re- suited from the arrest of two negroes, man and woman, at Judsonia by Deputy Sheriff Frank Rudd. Three negroes were said to be on their way to Augusta. One eluded the officer, the other two being brought to Ken sett, where Sheriff Plant took them in charge, bringing them to the White county jail to await trial. Five suit cases, containing about 12 gallons of whiskey, were captured.

 Little Rock, Jan. 4.-John H. Page, retiring commissioner of Agriculture, in his farewell message, recommends the creation of the office of State Geologist, with headquarters at Lit tie Rock, who shall spend his time in the development of the mineral re- sources of the state. He says:
 "In my opinion the position is of sufficient importance to have man in the State Capitol to devote his entire time to the work. To have as State Geologist a man in part of the state remote from the capital, a member of the University faculty, whose work as geologist is purely in cidental, and who can render no off cial service unless paid to do so, out side of his office, is to say the least farcial, and should not be in state

TO THE BUSINESS MEN OF
 NEWPORT.

It having been brought to our at tention that movement is on foot to establish a free ferry across White river near Newport, we wish to take this manner of offering the business men of Newport this proposition:
 As is known we are operating a ferry across White river at Newport. In order to give the town of Newport a free ferry for the benefit of both the business men and the tributary trade territory, we will sell outright our equipment, consisting of low water boat and a high-water boat, gasoline engine and other accessories. Or we will agree to operate our ferry under contract with the mer- chants of Newport, for stipuated yearly amount, payable monthly.
 The stockholders and directors of the Newport Ferry Company were the first to endorse the movement for free ferry here a year ago, and we are anxious to see the project an ac- complished fact, and will cooperate with Newport to this end.
