SPECIAL SESSION NOT
 LONGER THAN ONE DAY
Gail for July 2S Will Be Only for One " Day, Unless the Members Want To Take More Time.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, July 4.--If the Arkan- sas legislature remains in session longer than one day when it assembl- es on July 28 ill extraordinary session, it will do so upon it's own initiative. As had been expected for some t'~>~ when the call was issued Saturday night. it included only the subject of suffrage. This was the expressed wish of at least ninety per cent of the members whom Gov. Brough had con- ferred since the subject of an e"tr" session came up. Numerous subjects fhad been suggested, the most urgently Recommended one being state high sway project and remodel roads leg islation.
 The two houses can ie t'o-- meet at noon on the 18th and finish their work that day, so far as the rati- hcation of the Susan B. Anthony suf- frage amendment is concerned. If the iheiiipeis HoWeVer, py tWO-tn1rdS vote wish to do so they may extend for maximum of fifteen days for the consideration of any subject they may choose. They shall receive only half pay for the extra session, or s3 day, and ii they extend beyond the fifteen days, which they are not prohibited from doing, they shall receive no pay.
 It must be admitted that extra ses- sions of the legislature are not popu- lar in Arkansas. This will be the first one held since 1911, when it met on May 32, an dadjourned on June 10, af- ter the regular session. had beenheld fromJune 9 to May 13.

insured.

Keeping Milk Cot~l.

In parts of the countrs. where
natural ice is plentiful, the dairy, farm
er should:
1. See that his icehouse is properly
constructed to hold all the ice needed.
as well as to save the greatest per
centage of that stored.
2. Build cooling tanks, properly stu
ated, insulated and covered so that
loss by radiation is reduced, and large
enough to hold the full milk cans but
not so large as to give too great a
volume of water to cool.
3. Use cool, running water in order
to save ice by reducing the tempera-
ture of the milk to approximately that
of the running water before adding the
ice.
In an educational milk campaign,
carried on in the New England states
during the summer of 1916, the dairy
division of the United States depart
ment of agriculture found more than
100 diaries where, by little more at
tention to details with equipment al
ready possessed, the average dafryman
could deliver milk to the railroad sta
ton at an average temperature OF o.
