 MILE OF STREET
PULASKI HEIGHTS ALDERMEN SECURE PROMISE FROM THE MAYOR TO AID SCHOOL
 CHILDREN.

Within the next few days a grad ing gang will be furnished by the city to shape up the street from Lit tie Rock College to the Pulaski Heights School After the street has been properly graded it will be sur faced with rock donated by the eoun. ty, giving the citizens of the western portion of Little Rock a good road This is one of the most travelled thoroughfares in that section of the city, and has long been neglected At present it is almost impossible to reach Little Rock College with a ve- hicel of any size.
 When the work or the street is completed there will also be COZ crete walk from Prospect Avenue 10 the public school, the citizens of that section having agreed to put down the walk if the street was properly improved.

FAIR BUILDING
 FOR SWEET HOME
MOVEMENT TO ERECT BUILD ING IN WHICH TO HOLD COM MUNlTY FAIR AND
 MEETINGS.

Encouraged by the success of the recent Community Fair, the citizens ia the vicinity of Sweet Home are considering the proposition of erect ing Community House in which to hold their future fairs, as we'll as community gatherings
 Several citizens have offered to make substantial contributions, and it is thought that no difficulty will he met in securing a site near where the recent fair was held. Others will con- tribute labor, and the optimistic ones believe they can secure mate rial at very low cost, so that the building will be a reality before spring.
 Should the residents of the Sweet Home community be successful in their efforts, it is probable that other communities will do likewise, and in short time Pulaski county will be well supplied with buildings in which more pretentious exhibitions may be given This community is hampered materially in it's entertainments through the lack of building, espe- cially since the Confederate Home became so crowded that the chapel is used as a dormitory.
 The result of the campaign in the Sweet Home community will be watched with must interest by the balance of the county

BODMAN SECURES
 AGRICULTURAL AID
GREAT CORPORATIONS WILL SPEND OVER $2o,Ooo BOOST ING RESOURCES OF
 ARKANSAS.

Due to the efforts of E. J. Bodman, vice president and secretary of the Union and Mercantile Trust Com pany, great corporations of Illinois and Missouri will spend over $20,000 within the next few months advertis- ing the resources of Arkansas.
 | MT. Boaman IS the head of the Prof itable Farming Bureau of the Board of Commerce, and was accompanied on weeks tour of these states by H. M Cottrell, agricultural expert of the bureau. The funds thus pledged will be spent in a campaign to increase the production of hogs in Arkansas. The agricultural departments of the American Wire Company, Armour & Co.,, Swift & Co.,, the John Deere Flow Company and others will as- sist in the campaign, their experts coming to Arkansas for period of sixty days. i'll which time they will work under the direction of Mir Cot trell assisting wherever necessary to secure more hogs and more pastur- age.
 "We visited Chicago, Moline and St Lcuis." says MT. Bodman, and we got even more than we asked for. Not one of the corporations turned us down on our appeal for assistance. They all declared that Arkansas has more natural resources than any oth- ar state. and when concerted ac- tion to put this before the world is taken. our land values are going to increase tremendously.
 "One of the big machinery men told mo that the demand for farm lm- clements in Arkansas has shown the most marked increase of any state during the past year, and this he at tributed to the efforts of the business men to interest the farmers in bet fer methods of agriculture, and the efforts of our bureau were especial ly commended, as it has been this that interested the business men.

WADE IN MUD TO
 PICK OUT COTTON

Determiped to get their cotton out while the sun shines, the farmers in the lowlands in the northern part of the county are wading in mud to pick it. Rubber boots are worn into the fields, and the cotton sacks have been cut short so they will not drag n the mud. The cotton is nice and dry, but if the pickers waited for suitable conditions under foot, it would be several weeks before the fields would dry out. The farmers cannot afford to take further risk for weather con ditions are not certain at this season of the year, and cotton is bringing too good price.

SUGAR SITUATION
 A BAD MUDDLE
BEET SUGAR NOT PERMITTED BY GOVERNMENT TO COMPETE FOR TRADE IN THIS
 SECTION.

The sugar situation continues to worry the jobbers of the Little Rock trade territory, and it will no doubt until after the government had reach cd more satisfactory system of ope- rating the sugar market, or reiIn- pushes control
 Western beet sugar cannot be sold for over 10 cents pound, but the gov4 ernment limits the area for it's distri- button to the Western States. East ern refiners are expected to supply from Chicago eastward, and the South must get it's supply from New Or leans. Sugar is quoted at New Or leans at IS 1-2 cents a pound, and hard to get at that figure. There has been considerable sugar sold during the past week, and the trade every-. where picked up enough for immed- fate needs, the grocers judiciously dealing out the supply to make it ex- tend as far as possible.
 Locally sugar has sold retail at from 15 to 25 cents per pound during the week. Most grocers used their sugar for drawing card, and requir- ed the customer to buy other grocer ies before the sugar was sold. The sugar was mostly of an inferior quail ity.

SURVEY OF STATE LAND IS
 BEGUN BY COMMISSIONER

PHOENIX, May 15.-A comprehen- sise survey Of all state lands and s classification of the same. the first that has ever been undertaken in the state, was begun today under the supervision of State Land Commis- sione- Mouer. That this will result materially in increasing the revenues Of the state. both in the sale of land and in higher rentals is the opinion of the commissioner.
 All state lands down to a quarter section size will be appraised and classified according to whether they are grazing or agricultural lands and complete records will be com piled as a basis on which 10 consid. CT renewals of lease. The first leas- es of state land will expire July I 1920, and much Of the intervening time will be taken up in the survey and an exhaustive study and compari- son of the data collected by the ap- praisers
 The work was started today by Appraisers Pal J. Farley and Guy Acuc and this crew will be followed in week or two by another composed of A. C. Sieboth and W. R. Eyants. Most of the work during the summer months will be in northern Arizona.
 Much of the land which is now used for grazing purposes has fine agricultural possibilities, it was ex- plained by Mouer. and one of the oh. jects of the survey will be to raise the rental basis of such lands with the possibility in some instances of declining to renew the leases and placing the land on the market.

SONORA PUT BACK
IN WET COLUMN
(Continued from page lD

TN WEI SICmN
 Continued from page D Prieta this morning by Alonzo Con za,es, deputy 10 the state legislature from the Moctezuma district. embrac- ing Nacozari and other large towns
 The state legislature is now in ses- sion at HermosiIlo and Deputy Con. gales has just returned from there. He states that on Wednesday the leg islature, by vote of II to 3. voted to abolish the prohibition law ted shortly after Gales became civil gov ernor about three years ago. Beer. wines and even mescal and whisky win be sold under the new law, il is said
 Before the bill can become d law tt Will require the signature of the governor. Governor Gales is now out of the state, having been called to Mexico City, hut it is said that Acting Governor Pino will sign the bill in his absence and that Sonora will be wide open by the first of June. Al. ready in Agua Prieta arrangements are being made to open up cantinas and there is keen rivalry to secure the valuable concessions.
 Sonora was first made dry by the famous military decree No. 1 promuI- gated by General Gales when he was military governor. Later when the military governorship was abolished and General Gales became civil gov ernor a prohibition law was enacted by the legislature. IL is this law which has been abolished. General Gales has always been an advocate of pro- fibttion but it Is said that he is will ing for Sonora to return to a vet re- gime if the people of the state desire it.
 With the return of saloons in Son. ora and the enactment of prohibition in the United States. the Mexican bor- der towns will become the mecca for thousands of thirsty from the United States. particularly if the present passport regulations are removed or made easier.
