CO-ODerative Egg
 Shinping Meeting
 With Huge Success

Marshall. Oct. 1n-The Searcy County Cooperative Produce associa- tion is now shipping more than 5000 dozen eggs and varying amount of poultry each week from Marshall, Leslie and St. Joe and are realizing greatly increased returns on these products. Snowfall, Gilbert and Pindall are organizing to come into the association.
 The returns from cooperative ship ments of eggs last week netted 42c per dozen which represented an in crease of about 22c over the price offered by the local markets. All eggs are candled and graded according to size and color, under the supervision of Mir. and Mrs. A. l.. Watkins, farm and home demonstration agents, who are giving assistance in preparing and placing the products in the market.
 The cooperative shipments of fry ing chickens have brought the farm CTS about double the price offered by the local markets before the coopera- tive shipments were started One day week is set aside for coopera- tive shipments, and the farmers bring their poultry and eggs direct to the car.
 The low price offered for eees, by !; the local markets has tended to re- duce the production of eggs h0 cases week below what it should be at this time of year is the estimate of ] Mrs. Watkins "If we can increase prodnetion wo cap halp hripU Inw,, the high cost of living" says Mrs Watkins. Increased production is our big aim in cooperative marketing of poultry and eggs. and the best means that We have of accorplsh- ]. ing that end is to secure price for /; these products which is more nearly in accordance with the current market prices"

Education and Prohibition Are
 Decreasing Crime in Arkansas,
 Says Burkett, Answering Paper

Population of Arkansas peniten tiary July 1, 1917, 1,051; population of Arkansas penitentiary July 1 1919, 800; decrease of approxima tely 24 per cent.
 However, the present population contains about 70 cases of viola tion of the liquor laws, which were formerly misdemeanors. If these arc deducted from the total, the decrease for the past two years will show something over 30 per cent.
 In all the population has decreas- ed nearly A per cent during the past four years, falling from more than 1, 300 at it's highest point to less than 800 at present. It must be consider ed too that the years 1915 and 1916 were net entirely under prohibition laws and that many persons have been sent there for crimes commit ted previous to 1915. l feel safe in saying that under a rigid enforce ment of the prohibition laws there has and will be less than one-half the amount of crime committed as under the old license system.
 Crime Is Decreasing.
 Summarizing briefly, two laws new in force and effect upon our statutes if rightly enforced will tend to make Arkansas the one bright shining star in tn seister hood of state, viz, compulsory education and prohibition.
 The proper enforcement of the compulsory education law will better enable the youths now growing in to maturity to appreciate good gov ernment and of itself will materially lesser crime.
 Too muhc stress cannot be laid upon the rigid enforcement of the prohibition law. With national pro- hibition in sight and the federal gov ernmant with all it's power behind the enforcement of this law, and it is to be presumed that the prohibition ists will sec to it that men are placed in charge of this important position who will enforce these laws without fear or favor, as should be done.
 It has been my privilege to be connected with the Arkansas state penitentiary during time when the population attained it's maximum numerical strength and in this time have noted the population constantly grow less month by month, proving very exclusively that whatever may be conditions in other states. Arkan- sas is not increasing in crime, but rather decreasing and the most po- tent factor for this condition l at tribute to statewide prohibition.
 Respectfully.
 JOHN T. BURKETT.

The Colored Juvenile Home of lief ferson county received the first in- mates yesterday and will be formally opened today. The building has been put in order by the Auxiliary Board with the assistance of dona- tiohs from various parts of the city, county and state.
 In June, a committee of colored ladies from the various churches of Pine Bluff, interested themselves in the welfare of 13-year-old colored boy, and on July 1, through their charities, Mrs. Irene Coleman Ross obtained for the boy order from Governor Brough, who said that the boy had been i. sentenced because there was no reform school in Ar kansas provided for colored boys.
 Other delinquents were regularly referred to the above named chair man, so acting upon the recommen- dation of the governor and many prcn5hent citizens of Jefferson county the Jefferson County Juven- ilc Court recommended the appoint ment of colcred probation officer and Aueust ', 1919. the county judge, R.

Little Rock, Oct. 4.-The decrease from 1900 in 1915 to 500 in 1919 ir Arkansas penitentiary population may be accredited to compulsory education and prohition, according to a statement by Captain John T Burkett, secretary of the pehiten- tiary commission.
 Mir Burketts statement was in re- ply to a recent editorial in the Ar kansas Democrat dealing with law violations in South Carolina. MT. Burkett's statement draws attention to the percentage of convicts who are illiterates, and to the decrease of crime under prohibition.
 Br. Burkett's statement follows;
 "Some time ago your paper con tained an editorial headed, Is the World Growing worse?'
 "Your editorial was caused by a statement appearing in the columns of the Democrat citing the fact that crime was on the increase in the state of South Carolina, as indicated by the increase of the penal popula- tion of that state.
 "The attention of the writer be- ing drawn to both the article and your editorial prompted an exami- nation of the records of the Arkan- sas State Penitertiary with the startling results as enumerated be- low.
 Majority Illiterate.
 "Of the 1923 new prisoners com mitted during the benial period of 1914 to 1916 some 1921 had no edu- cation at all or could only read and write a little. This gives approxi- mately 69 per cent of illiteracy among the the prisoners committed during that period.
 "Of the 1423 new prisoners com mitted during the biennial period of 1916 to 1918 some 948 had no edu- cation at all or could only read and write a little. This gives approxi- mately 68 per cent of illiteracy among the prisoners committed during that period.
 "This means that more than two thirds of the penitentiary popuAa- tion is drawn from about ten per cent of the population of the state who are illiterate. while less than one third of our criminals come from the ninety per cen of educated peo pie.
 Population of the penitentiary under prohibition laws: <
 Population of Arkansas peniten- tiary July 1, 1915, 1900; population of Arkansas penitentiary July l, 1917. 1O51: decrease of approxi- mately 20 per cent.

used" the churches or encouraged religion of some kind It need not have been the Christian religion; it need not have been the Orthodox Greek church as established in Rus sia, although that would have been the logical thing. But to break down the churches with one mandate and to forbid religious teaching-that was suicide, however long it may be until the corpse is buried.
 But it would not have been Bol- shevism had it not sought to destroy religions. Religion and Bolshevism are as far apart as the poles, and they can never be made to work in harmony-which is to say that Bol- shevism cannot be made. to work at all. In his daily needs man demands religion of some kind. He may find consolation in the worship of Bud aha, he may find solace in the con- temptation of the words of Con- fucius, he may pray to Mahomet or to Zoraster ,or he may commune with God--but the fact remains that unless he takes note of something besides the material things of life, neither his home nor his government will endure nor peace and happiness fail to his lot.--Columbus Dispatch.

THE CROsS-THE-OCEAN AIR RACE

Tension is at high pitch in Wash
ington over the coming flight of aero
planes across the Atlantic. II is de-
termined to win at all hazards and
every ounce of energy is being ex-
pended by the Navy Department to
have machines, men and everything
in tip-top shape 50 that the moment
the right opportunity and weather
conditions permit there will be no
hitch anywhere. While much of the
governments plans have been made
public, there is considerable secrecy
upon the part of the Naval officials
as to many features that are hoped
will act as a surprise to those in
charge of similar work for the other
governments participating in the
race. The crOss-the-ocean air flight
is live topic Of talk in the Nation S

MEDICAL OFFICERS
negligent, charge
Blame Placed For Failure
To Prevent Typhoid
Among Troops

washington, April 4-Charges OF
gross carelessness and negligence in
preventing and controlling the spread
of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers in
the army are made against many
medical officers serving with the
forces overseas in a circular pub
lished by the chief surgeon Of the
American Expeditionary Forces and
made public here today by the Public
Health service in connection with a
warning that vaccination does not
give complete immunity from ty-
phoid.
The chief surgeon cites many in
stances where epidemics prevailed
among troops, especially during the
last offensive on the western front,
and points out that the occurrence
and distribution of diseases was con-
stantly brought to the attention OF
the medical officers through weekly
bulletins.
at would appear" the circular
continues, that many officers utterly
failed to grasp the significance OF
these reports and warnings, fact
which may be due to a false sense OF
security under the popular belief that
vaccination against typhoid and para
typhoid gives complete immunity ev-
en- in the midst of gross unsanitary
conditions.
Notwithstanding the fact that ty-
phoid and paratyphoid fevers are cpl
demic in the United States and in
spite of our extensive experience with
these diseases during the Spanish
American war and later during the
period of mobilization on the Next
can border, it is evident that many
medical officers have gained but lit
tie knowledge of the fundamental
principles undertaking prevention and
control 1t is also quite evident that
some medical officers are grossly
careless and neglectful of their duties
and responsibilities as medical Off
GERS and sanitarians, ="
1T is fully recognized" the circu-
lar says, that the conditions brought
about by the mobilization of millions
of men and the active participation in
the war of two million of these have
at times rendered sanitary control ex-
tremely difficult, especially during
the stress of active combat. The
high standards of sanitation and per
sonal hygiene set by the army medi-
cal department during the previous
decade. il adds, were not lived up to
during the past two years, due to
combination of factors the more i'm
portant of which was the lack of fac
ilities and material transportation
difficulties and insufficient training
and personnel.
However" the circular says,
"many medical officers serving with
combatant and S. o. S. units have
been able to overcome all handicaps,
and have by wise counsel and 'eter-
nal viligance succeeded in keeping
their units in excellent fighting trim"
The chief surgeon warns his sub
Ordinates that now the excuse there
is a war on" no longer will be toll
Grated and that they will be held
responsible for proper supervision of
the health of troops, nearly all of
whom are now in sanitary train
ing areas or in the Army of Occu-
patton where proper instruction and
measures can be instituted and en-
forced.
