FARM EXHIBIT AT
 CAPITAL ENLARGED
FARMERS URGED TO SEND SPEC IMENS OF GOOD CROPS FOR
 STATE EXHIBIT

From the several fairs that have been held in Arkansas the past mon tn and from the recent Tri-State Fair at Memphis this department has ob- tained for the agricultural exhibit at the State Capitol some splendid speci- mems of Arkansas products, samples of corn, rice, wheat, rye, grasses, COW peas, peanuts, soy beans, sugar cane and other crops, which will show vis- itors to the Capitol the many kinds of products that can be grown in Arkansas and at the same time con- vince them of the wonderful prcduc- tivity of the soil.
 This is such good way to adver- tise rich sections of our state that have no other opportunity to let the world know of their resources, that 1 really wish every county could be represented with an exhibit at the capitol. I will provide the space if some enterprising person will see that representative exhibit is sent. This exhibit may consist of timber or min- erals instead of farm products if these industries predominate. The idea is to advertise your section along with the other progressive counties of the State.
 Any citizen who may be interested in this matter is requested to write me about the space his county will need and the manner of preparing tke exhibits.

BIG CHA(jIAUQUA WAS
 AWOVL)ERFUL SUCCESS

was signalized by the very helpful lecture of the Red Cross nurse, Miss Edith M. Benn of New York who spoke in the afternoon. The Kraft Concert Company furnished the musi- cal numbers for both the afternoon and night programs and captivated the large audiences.
 The closing number of the program was the able lecture of Capt. A. W. Horton of Spartanburg, s. C., or Pushing Back Horizons" in which he related some interesting facts re- garding the average of illiteracy in this country as in regard to some for eign countries, and made a most elo- quent plea for the higher education of the young manhood and woman hood of America. Capt. Horton, was in the military service of the U. S. and spent several months overseas where he saw active service in .sever- al engagements. AS one of the Chau- tauqua Directors, Capt. Horton was in Newark the entire three days and by his charming personality won for himself host of friends here
 The people showed a commendable interest in the Chautauqua and that they fully appreciated the helpful and uplifting influences of this high class entertainment was fully demonstrat- ed by the fact that the attendance increased at each session. On the closing night there was hardly stand ing room underline large tent and the crowd last night is said to have beer the largest that ever attended an en- tertainment of this character in New ark.
 A number of citizens no on the former contract readily signed the contract for next season and plans are already being discussed for making the Chatuauqua next year the great est event of the kind ever held in In- dependence County.

PROHI CAUSES FALL
 IN PEN POPULATION
ARKANSAS PEN POPULATION DROPS FROM 1900 TO 800 IN
 LAST THREE YEARS

According to a statement by John T. Burkett, secretary of the Arkan- sas Penitentiary Commission, prohibi- tion and compulsory education are causing a substantial decrease in crime in Arkansas. He says the de- crease in pen population from 1,300 in 1915 to 800 in 1919 clearly dem onstrates that fact. MT. Burkett's statement says:
 "Of the 1923 new prisoners com mitted during the biennial period of 1914 to 1915, some 1921 had no edu- cation at all or could only read and write little. This gives approxi- mately 69 per cent of illiteracy among the prisoners committed during that period.
 "Of the 1,423 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 es per cent of illiteraey among the prisonrs committed during that period. This means more than twe- thirds of the penitentiary's popula- 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 cent of educated people, Population of the penitentiary under prohibition laws; population of Ark ansas Penitentiary July 1, 1915, l.. 300; population of Arkansas pen'ten- tiary July 1, 1917, 1,051; decrease of approximately 20 per cent.
 "Population-sef Arkansas peniten- tiary July 1, 1917, 1051; population of Arkansas penitentiary July l, 1919, 800; a decrease of approximately 24 per cent. However, the present pop ulation contains about TO cases of violation of the liquor laws, which were formerly misdemeanors. If these are deducted from the total the decrease for the past two years will show something over 30 per cent. In all the population has decreased near ly 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 consideerd tao that the year 1915 and 1916 were not entirely under prohibition laws and that many persons have been sent there for crimes committed previous to 1915. l feel safe in saying that under rigid enforcement of the pro- hibition laws there has and will be less than one half the amount of crime committed as under the old liquor regime

PEOPLE DELIGHTED WITH ABLE AND HELPFUL LECTURES
 AND SPLENDID MUSIC

The Newark Chautauqua closed yes terday, after having had a most sue cessful three day session. T he Chau- tauqua was a splendid success in ev- cry way, and the citizens of Newark were so well pleased with the results that they signed a contract for it's return next year.
 The Chautauqua just closed is ty far the greatest event that has oc- cured in Newark during the year The talent was furnished by the Rad- cliff Ghautauqua System of Washino ton, D. C., and was up to the high standard of this splendid organization in every respect. All of the topics discussed were of an educational na- ture and they were presented in a manner that proved both interesting and entertaining to the large crowds who heard them.
 The Metropolitan Concert Company opened the program Monday after noon and furnished splendid music both afternoon and night.
 Dr. F. W. Emerson of Long Beach, Cali, was the principal speaker the first day, his subject Monday after noon being What is Education" and at night he pleased and charmed his hearers with an able lecture on "The Greatest Thing Man May Know"
 The second day was one of the best of the Chautauqua, with the Ameri- can Girls Concert Company, a jolly, happy bunch of young ladies, who de lighted and charmed the large audien- ce both afternoon and night, with their catchy program of popular musical numbers and readings.
 Dr. Henry Clark of Chicago gave two of the greatest lectures ever heard in Newa,k. His subject Tues day afternoon was "The Art of Home Making" and at night his subject was "Play Ball." Dr. Clark is a humorist as we'll as a grea. thinker and he car ries his audience with him.

ROAD CONTROVERSY
 TO SUPREME COURT
STATE PAYS BIG PRICE FOR PAS SAGE OF LAWS THAT MAY
 PROVE WORTHLESS

According to statement recently made by Van B. Sims, assistant State Comptroller, Arkansas has paid more than $200,000 for the three sessions of inc legislature held this year.
 The recent special session is said to have cost the State $47 ,000, while the regular session held in January and February cost the State $166,000.
 The worst feature of the matter is the generally accepted opinion that everything done at the recent special session will be nullified by the courts. The State constitution provides that 30 days notice must be given before the Legislature Can consider local or special bills. It is a matter of record in both the Senate and House journals that not more than seven days notice was given by the Governor in calling the Special session and not more than fifteen days elapsed from the time the Legislature convened until it ad- journed. This fact, in the opinion of the best lawyers of the State, nulli- flies all local road legislation enacted. Local road legislation constituted more than -tenths of the work of the special session.
 It has been the custom in Arkaa- sas for many years for bonding cor1- panies to secure a supreme court de- cision before lending money for the building of roads or financing road improvement districts.
 Steps have already been taken to test the constit1tionality of the acts of the recent special session. Two test cases have feen instituted in the courts, one being that of R. R. Payne vs Road Improvement District No. 1  of Marion County and w. I. Booie vs. Road Improvement District Number 4 of Prairie County.
 The cases have been advanced by the Supreme Court and the court on last Monday set the cases for hearing on November IT. Ordinarily only three weeks is allowed attorneys for filing briefs, but the court held that because of the importanc of the two cases, additional time should be allow : ed for the preparation of briefs. The question involved is whether the acts of the special session are valid. since the legislature was convened on only one weeks notice by the governor thei eby making it impossible to com ply with the constitution as to the assage O. local legislation.
