Washington, Dec. 16.--Bonded liquor

Its head off, in warehouses at the rate
Of three and one third million dollars
L. -nthly In carrying charges, 1t was
conservatively estimated here today.
81 Owners of The liquor today flooded
government officials with kilograms
demanding what they should do to get
out from under" The kilograms began
to clog the Washington wires as Presi-
dent Wilson let IL be known he can not
legally lift the war time ban While
peace Is not concluded. This Is the
position he has held for months. 1t
was the decision of the supreme court
yesterday which preeipitated the rush
OF kilograms. In this decision the war
time prohibition act was held consti-
tutional. 1t seemed to blast the last
hope of liquor dealers for short, wet
spell before the big drought begins
January 16, when constitutional prohi-
billion Is scheduled TO become effective.
CAN'T ANSWER QUESTION.
Government officials today were I'M
able TO give an adequate answer to the
Question as TO what to do with the
bonded liquor at least from the point
of view of the owner, hoping to get
back part or perhaps all OF MS invest
lnent and 10 head on the carrying
charge.
The estimated original investment
today was placed at approximat ely
$S3, 900, 600 for 67,000,000 gallons Of
liquor with which the owners now
seem to have been caught. This is in
addition to the carrying charge. The
bonded supply includes 63,942.0S1 gal
Ions Of whiskey more than 100000
gallons OF brandy approximately L.
500 600 gallons OF gin and slightly less
than 100000 gallons of rum.
These are the government figures.

problems resulting from the decision

The difficulty Is that under the war

The Art osnsatien That
Has Revealed the Full
Splsndor Of the Motion
Picture.

The Karicofe Co.

The people still love sensation.
 There persists a morbid curiosity in
 the makeup of the human animal
 that the horrors of four years of
 war will not overcome.
 This was demonstrated in Little
 Rock last week in the trial of a case
 in federal court. An attractive wo-
 man was on trial for bootlegging liquor to soldiers-incidentally she
 was acquitted. It was like hundreds
 of other cases that have been tried
 which the newspapers ignore, or
 minimize, that attracted no atten-
 tion at all. But the newspapers, probably just to demonstrate their
 pulling power to merchants who
 don't advertise, published daily re- ports of the trial, in all it's details, column after column. It was made just as sensational as the courts l warranted. And the people "fell |, for it." They crowded the court
 room day after day, eager to grasp every detail, and palpably disap- pointed when the details were not as salacious as the billboards might
 have indicated.
 Truly we are getting back to normal.
 "Back to the soil," is being ad- vocated more strongly than ever. There are idealists who believe that the time is coming when the farm can be made so attractive that the city or town boy will seek out a career on the farm, just as now the farm boys ambition is to go to the city as soon as he leaves the country grammar school, or before, and get into the automobile business or run street car, or be president of bank, or a city salesman, or something of the kind.
 One of the most interesting prac- tical propositions that has come to the front recently is that of the
 Profitable Farming Bureau, which
 has made arrangements with the
 Russellville Agricultural School for
 six-weeks farm school for town
 and city boys, beginning June 1,
 1919, and ending July 15. The
 school will be held on the farm at
 Russellville, and each boy will work
 on the farm five hours daily under the direction of expert teachers. The only cost will be three dollars
 week for board, or SIS for the
 term.

there is no malaria.
 These are facts which Major J. A. LePrince, of the U. s. Public Health Service, is endeavoring to impress upon the people of Arkan- sas. He is a noted sanitarian, hav- ing been chief aid to Grogas in the Panama campaign. He has been in charge of the malarial control work for 43 camps and cantone- ments in 15 states, and has been instrumental in readjusting malarial conditions to a minimum in 1 200 square miles of territory adjacent to camps. The development of many localities throughout the south is blocked by malaria, and there must be a greater cooperation to check the disease.

things ran through her mind in the

felt need for food, with his arm
around her! He had killed innocent
living creatures, even as the kingfsher
had, and the marsh hen-but not,
thank goodness, not like the crab!
And he had killed them for her-be-
cause he loved her!
After all, what did it matter? There
were many things she didn't under
stand, and nothing mattered but that
"He loved her." The girl sprang up
with happy smile.

BROUGHT JOY TO ROOSEVELT
Companion Tells of CoIoneRs Joy in
Unlooked-For Discovery in the
Bird World.

Roosevelts intense eagerness over
any new discovery in the bird world
is interestingly described by John NJ.
Parker. who once entertained the col
onel on camping trip along the Gulf
coast of Mississippi and Louisiana.
One day they discovered one of those
queer birds known as the bull bat, and
the colonel was greatly excited about
it. Here is the way that Mr.. Parker
describes the incident:
Zone day my sons were running
around on little island, and presently
began waving for US to come oyer.
We Immediately answered. When we
got close to them we saw them point
ing to a bird on the ground, blended
so we'll with oyster shells and debris
that it was almost invisible unless you
watched closely. They motioned 70
the colonel to step up to the bird. ana
as he did so 1t flew off the nest, fiut-
tering along the way as great many
birds do, Stimulating being badly
wounded or crippled In order to lead
us away from its nest. 1t was bull
bat. or night hawk, and as the col
onel glanced at the nest he remarked:
BY jOve, this bird is Matching now.

possibly the most famous bird pho
tographer in the world. came in an
swer to our call and fixed up his old
green shade from under which he

then how he scared her off the nest.
He made pictures of the two little Duli
bats breaking the shell of the egg, and
to see the eggs divide was wonderful

them with patience and with a total
disregard of mosquitoes.
"The evening we returned to Pass
Christian the colonel went around my
yard with a great deal of interest. and
announced that he had found nests of
81 varieties of birds. One in partic-
ular interested him very much-the

days before had raised an entire brood

no and asked why. He stated that he
