LIQUOR INTERESTS
 WILL FIGHT HARD
DiSTlLLERS CLAIM NATIONAL PROHIBITION AMENDMENT NOT
 LEGALLY RATIFIED.

New YoIk-The acton of Frank l.. Polk, acting secretary of state, for mally proclaiming ratification of the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution is not binding, says q statement issued by an Executive Committee representing the Distillers' Association of America
 or the 42 states whose legislatures have acted on the amendment, the constitutions of 9. the distillers say, contain referendum provision which provides that no action of the legis- lature becomes effective until 90 days after adjournment. IT during these 90 days, five or six per cent of the voters petition for a referendum, the action of the legislature must be sub mitted to the people.
 Of these 22 states, the committee says, the legislatures of II are still In session and the SC days in which to petition for referendum have not begun to run The committee an nounced that immediate steps will be taken to have a referendum invoked in these 14 states and probably ill others"
 Action in these II states Is not final until the people have had oppor- tunity to act, the distillers say. Con sidering only those state and deduct ing them from the 42 whose Iegisla- lures have acted, the committee said, showed that the "dfys" have captured only 2S states, or eight less than the three-fourths required
 The 14 states are: Arkansas, cali fornia Colorado, Idaho. Maine. Mfchi- gan, Missouri Nebraska Nevada, New Mexico Ohio, Utah. Oregon and Wasaington. "The people in these h states, under their constitutional ref erendum rights, are a part Of the law making body says the distillers' statement. Until the people have voted upon the proposition there has been and can be no legislative ac- tion."

If a person has pledged or undertaken to purchase S100 worth of stamps and his 1918 certificate contains only a portion cf this amount, he may purchase the re. mainder of his quota in 1919 stamps and place them in a 1913 certificate. using two certificates instead of one. For accounting reasons the two is. sue5 must be kept separate.

Although there was unanfmity of opinion that Arkansas should erect q monument 10 the Arkansas soldiers and sailors who have made the su- preme sacrifice in the present war, there was marked divergence o1 opinion as to how the funds should oe raised when the matter was broached in the Senate.
 Senators Utley, Vaughan, Emory and Townsend Introduced resolu. ton endorsing a movement to raise. by public subscription, through the State Council of Defense, a fund to erect such a monument. Senator Brown immediately objected, declar- ing that such plan only meant delay, and declaring he favored immediate action through a legislature appropri- ation
 To back up his stand he introduced bill few minutes later seeking to appropriate $1000e0 for such a monu- ment, and 10 create q commission composed of the governor auditor and secretary of state 10 have charge of the fund. The bill went to the bud get committee.
 Senator Brown said that while he was in favor of erecting an elegant monument to the dead heroes, he was opposed to passing the hat" to get the funds. The resolution, however. was adopted when it was explained that its adoption would not have any bearing on the fate of an appropria- ton bill such as Senator Brown intro duced few minutes later.
 Senator Emory's bill. -regtlatip, public utilities that better service may be had. provides that when such corporations laii or refuse to main. tain adequate facilities 10 comply with their franchises shall be subject to penalty of not less than sf.0a0 nor more than $15,000. for each day of such failure or refusal. each day to constitute a separate offense.

YEARLY REPORT
 ON LIVE STOCK
HORSES ON FARMS SHOW DE cREASE-oTHER ANIMALS
 SHOW AN INCREASE.
LARGE INCREASE IN SHEEP
Mule and Tractor Take Place of Horse-Number of Cows Per Farm Less Than Tuc-WashHgtoH
 Leads in Work Animals.

SPringdale.-
 An examination of the live stock report. issued by Charles :. Bouton, field agent for the st1te of Arkan- sas for the Bureau or Crop Esti- mates. shows a slight decrease in the number Of horses on farms, but Il gratifying increase in all other kinds of live stock, particularly in the mum Der of mules. beef cattle and swine The largest percentage of increase is in sheep which. are 10 per cent more than q year ago. Tine figures for steep do not include about 55 900 head of goHs, which are in- creaslng in the state at about the same ratio as sheep.
 There has been a slight decrease in the number of horses on farms, because there has been quite tend ency to substitute mules for horses, and because of the increased use of the tractor.
 The demand for milch cows has increased during the last year as Is attested by the increased price of milk, which was in turn brought about by the increased cost of milk producing feeds. The average nuni- Der of milch cows per farm in the state is less than two.
 The price of swine is slightly low CT than year ago, due to the larg- CT percentage Of light weight ami mals which could not be marketed at prices approximat:ng that paid for heavy grain-fed animals. Shortage of grain feed and an unusual pereen- tage of pigs from late filters will ex- plain the consequent lower price per head in swine.
 The heaviest cotton producing counties in the state have also the most mules: thus they rank in order named-Mississipp seHerson. Lo- noke, Cfittenden and Phillips; but in total number of work animals Wash. ington is first. Jefferson second and Benton third In number Of all cat tie Washington leads with Ashley second, White third and Arkansas fourth. In numbers or sneep and goats Carroll is leading with Madi- son and Washington second and third In number of hogs, Golum- bia Is still first, Randolph seconi. Union third. and Washington fourth.
