FOURTH OF JULY PATRIOTISM. SAFE AND SANE-KILL
 AND DESTROY-WHICH?

Safe and sane celebration of the Fourth of July is a patriotic duty each of us owe to our counry; for, never was the United States, including our own Arkansas, in more dire need of conserving it's created wealth and resources than now. Fireworks de- stroy much property and many lives. In a thirteen year period during which the American Medical Associa- tion collected statistics on the sub ject, 1862 persons were killed and 42,OS9 injured. Of the deaths, 1,143 were due to tetanus, or "lockjaw," as a result from injuries received. Of the 719 deaths resulting from injuries received during the Glorious Fourth celebrations during that time, PIT were burned to death and 199 killed by firearms.
 When we think of these deaths and injuries, all of which, perhaps. were preventable, to say nothing of the enormous loss of valuable property likewise resulting from this unneces- sary, reckless display ofpatriotism. is it not time we call halt and cele- brate in a more safe and sane way in order that we may conserve precious lives and property rather than destroy them?
 Cities and towns in this state not already having ordinances or reg ulations governing the sale and use of pyrotechnics should at once pass them so that they will be in operation and effect during the coming Fourth. Let every person having the interest of his state, life and property at heart make himself a committee of onen to work and talk for Fourth of July minus fireworks-dangerous celebra- tions and the resultant destruction of created wealth and human life. Let Arkansas be a leader in this very de- sirable reform.
 Keep in mind the thought that a 10-cent firecracker or skyrocket might destroy million dollars worth of property and take toll of human life. Don't use them. In Washing ton, D. C., on July one year when fireworks were allowed, 104 persons were taken to hospitals for treatment to their injuries; the following year fireworks were prohibited and not a case of injury was taken to the hos pital on July 4.

TRANSPORTATION


 One hundred years ago this month Mf. Bates, the delegate in Congress from Arkansas Territory. informed Us that the postmaster general in tended to send mail to Arkansas Post once a week and also to estab- fish a mail between Arkansas Post and the Chickasaw Bluffs by way of St. Francis. The Chickasaw Bluffs are where Memphis stands, but 100 years ago the Tennessee metropolis had not been built.
 Fifty years ago this month four horse post coaches were being opera ted between Fort Smith and Pierce City, Missouri, a distance of 120 miles. At this point these coaches connect ed with trains and by this route per- sons could go from Fort Smith to St. Louis in 40 hours.
 One hundred years ago Arkansas depended for transportation on horses and on boats propelled by man pow CT. But only fifty years ago there was just one railroad in the state and that ran only from Little Rock to De- Valls Bluff, where it made connection with White river steamboats.-Arkan- sas Gazette.

KEEP YOUR CHICKS IN CLEAN
 QUARTERS

Keep the young chicks growing so fast that you may have poultry to market ard pallets to produce eggs all through the season of 1920, ad- vises H. B. Lansden state poultry spe- cialist.
 ''On the farm, in the commercial poultry plant, or in the back yard, the growing chick requires special at tention at this time" says Mir. Lans- den. They have cost time and mon- ey. To fall down now in growing them is to be wasteful.
 Tt >is likely that as usual, many have not been able to get out as many early chicks as they want. While late spring hatches are not as desira- ble as the early one, occasionally lot of late matched bullets will lay quite early. A late spring matching can be kept on practical and profitable footing and good chicks matured at the normal age by rigidly observing the following rules.
 l. Don't set eggs for late hatch chickens except from strong vigorous stock. known to be in good condition when the eggs are laid.
 2. Don't hatch late chickens unless you can put them on clean land which has not been used for poultry this season.
 This last point is especially impor- tant. Very young poultry should not be put on land where droppings of poultry have been freely scattered. whether the land is in grass or culti- vation. If any disease germs have been left on the land, hot weather con- ditions are most favorable to their distribution.
 Clean quarters will help grow the chicks. Accumulated filth is the breeding ground for mites, roup, and many other diseases which develop at this time. What is true of chicks while young must still be followed out during the summer. They need pure air, clean coops and breeders, and freedom from lice and mites"

MANY LIQUOR VIOLATIONS
Texas Grand Jury Says Citizens Re
 luctant to Give Testimony

Texarkana, June 28.-The Bowie County (Tex) Grand Jury, which ad- journed at Boston Saturday night af- ter returning many indictments, in- cluding about twenty for violation of the prohibition laws, made an ap- peal in it's final report asking the peo- pie of the Maude and Red Water con- munities to aid in the suppression of many distilleries. which it asserts. are being operated in those communities. The report says that the conditions about Maude and Red Water are worse because of these stills than they were when regular saloons were oper- ated. For some reason, the report says, citizens show persistent unwill- ingness to give testimony against the offenders, and that unless this policy is changed here is very little hope of suppressing the lawlessness now prevalent.
