WASHINGTON. Dec 10. - BY
unanimous decision, consututionality
Of the Wartime prohibition act was
sustained Monday by the supreme
court. The opinion, given By Asso-
ciate Justice Brandeis, held In effect
however. that the war invoked dry
period stiu may be terminated by
presidential proclamation OF demo-
bilization.
In rendering its opinion the court
however. did not act upon the vail
dity Of the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement act or on appeals involv-
ing the alcoholic content OF beer.

 UNTIL THE CENTENNIAL

Organizations have been formed for the collection of county exhibits for the Arkansas Centennial Fair, to be hel dat Little Rock, November 17-22, in Fl of the 75 counties of the state and the outlook is that there will be a full representation and a most creditable display of the Etate's re- sources.
 Only three months remain in which to plan and assemble these displays, in which the counties of the State will compete for $500 cash prize and ad- ditional premiums on the exhibits of different farm products, and there is activity on the part of farmers, coun- | ty agents and committeeman in get ting the county displays together. The premium list has been prepared and as soon as printed copies are de- livered will be mailed to all persons in the State who are interested in

SOUTH MIGHT CONSUME
 ITS OWN RAW COTTON

Under proper encouragement, the South might itself become one of the largest consumers of it's raw cotton. It can never become the principal mar ket, but it can use enough so that it will be factor in dictating the mar ket of it's principal product.
 In Little Rock, for instance, there were 2,021 bales of raw cotton and linters consumed in the mattress fac tories and other mills of the city. This was increased the following year to 3,917 bales, while for the 1918-1919 season, the consumption increased to 6, ,498 bales, or more than three times what it was two years ago.
 This may be largely due to the in creased demand by two large mattress factories located in the city.

 Now one may buy either the '$100 or the $l,000 certificate, paying the price fixed by the Government for this month, namely, $s3s for the latter. In August the price will be sS3S, and will increase $2 each month. The $100 certificate may be bought this month for SS3.60 while in August the cost will be sS3.S0, and increases in cost 20 cents month. Each security reaches maturity on January l, 1924

The registered one, of course must be redeemed through the post office department. The interest rate, az well as all other provisions in the new securities is identical with that of the familiar War Savings Stamps-four per cent interest com pounded quarterly. The redemption privilege, too, is the same If the holder must realize on his investment he may obtain cash for the same by giving ten days notice and surrender :ng the same through&the Treasury Department. If not carried to ma turity the certificate bears interest at the rate of per cent.

 There can be no shrinkage in value of this form of security.

GOV. GARDNER SEES
 THRIFT's OPPORTUNITY
Missouri Chief Executive Thinks the Chance to Build Prosperity,s
 Foundation Never So Good.

A wholesome and much needed les son has been taught the American oeo- pie by the government in the various loan and thrift campaigns which have been launched within the past two years.
 The War Savings Stamp Campaign should appeal especially to the salary and wage earner, man and woman, girl and boy, as an incentive to saving and investment. The War Savings Stamp affords the readiest means of investment and the most frequent and largest returns in interest As a boy I would have hailed with delight such an opportunity to invest my slnali earnings.
 As a word of business advice to tilo American boy and girl, l would say: out of your earnings. save somethine each week and make your savings earn money for you by investing them in War Savings Stamps.

 Out among the Pilchuck Indians in Washington the thrift habit has taken hold like a forest fire and the habits or wastefulness, which are tradition With the American Indian, are rapidly being set aside for habits of thrift.
 One of the most active boosters for thrift among this tribe is Pilchuck Julia. an aged squaw, who is looked upon by her people as a seeress of great wisdom. When Julia says Save" her worshipping followers knoT it is good medicine" and forthwith move their moccasins to the local War Savings Stamp headqlar- ters to buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
 Recently Fred w. Graham, state di- rector of the National Thrift Cam paign, journeyed to the Pilchuck res ervation and decorated Julia with the Order of the Thrifty" When the di- rector pinned a gaudy War Savings Stamp button upon the aged seeress' coat she smiled and said:
 "Heep big snows are coming. Bet ter save for the Great Cold"
 And the braves and squaws who had assembled to witness the ceremony of decorating Julia nodded their heads solemnly in assent

such a delay naval officials hoped
that he would be able to reach the
