 Tick Eradication
 The laws governing Clipping cat tie" are State and Federal laws and the County Judge has no more to do with whether catle shall be "dip- ped" or mot dipped" than he has to do with the making or changing the laws in regard to Grand Lar ceny. It is not within the jurisdic- tion of the County Judge to require dipping or to decree that cattle shall not be dipped. The County Judge can, therefore, have no voice Tn this matter.
 The County Court, Probate Court been and will continue to be conducted in a business like man. ner. All contests in these Courts will be settled according to merits. Attempt to Control County Court
 By Political Threat.
 In recent matter of considerable importance in the County Court, a party interested in the litigation came to me and advised me that if did not decide the issue in favor of the side in which he was inter- ested, that those interested with him would do all in their power to bring out a candidate and defeat me for reelection. THIS OFFICE CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED BY ANY PER- SON OR GROUP OF PERSONS. The justice and merits of the case in question were against the parties making these threats and the case was decided adversely to them. Conclusion
 During my term of office have made a record of which I am just ly proud, and to any person who is interested in the manner in which the affairs of the County have been conducted in the past or in the way in which I will conduct them in the future, I will be glad to go into the matter with them in detail. have given the County my entire time and attention. have con- scientiously discharged every duty to the people. I have given the County much needed improvements have kept close watch on the finances of the county and from year to year have increased the balance in the County General Fund have kept the office and my cam- paign on high plane and will con- l tinue to do so. The voters of Lee I County appreciate the record l have made. A large majority of them are standing by me and will be with me on election day. I am proud o1 the record I have made and on that record I place my candidacy for re election.

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper.)

(By Clio Harper.)
 Little Rock, July 5.-Five weeks from tomorrow the biennial primary of the Democratic party in Ar kansas will be hld. It is much la ter than usual and the vote will be watched with much interest by political experts. Those who ad- vocated the changein the primary date from spring to midsummer, argued that it would be to the better interests of the farmer; which indirectly argued that it would be to the better interests of the candidate as well.
 The campaign for various state offices has reached the affidavit stage and some of the candidates are filling the mails and the news papers with charges against their opponents, backed up by the sworn and subscribed to before me" type of argument. All nine of the as- pirants for governor are actively pressing their claims before the people. A great deal of money IS being spent, but in-the absence of any evidence to the contrary, It must be supposed that all of it IS being spent legitimately. The state is being flooded with pamphlets con taining speeches and arguments by the various candidates. All of them are canvassing the state personally and arousing much interest among their followers by the vigor of their attacks upon the opposition. Out side issues are being lugged into the fight and the principal issue discussed seems to be opposition to existing conditions in the state gov ernment.
 So far the candidates for gover,, nor and U. s. Senator have avoided personal clashes on the stump and only in rare instances have as many as two of them gotten together on the same platform. 1t would be presumptuous on the part of any one and certain indicative of par tisan bias to make predictions as to the strongest candidate. Never be- fore in the history of Arkansas pol tiles has it been so strikingly

case of "anybod's race"

case of "anybod's race"
 : There are no notable develop ments in any of the minor contests. The ticket will close July 10, thirty days before the election and it is believed that there will be no new candidates to be announced. Up to the present time Ira Hopper is the only announced candidate for secretary of state, although T. c. Cargile has said that he proposes to make the race. He has not yet, however, filed his pledge.
 J. T. Coston is making an active campaign against E.. A. McCulloch for chief justice. Noil Bohknger and Senator J. s. Utley are engaged in pretty fight for attorney gen. eral. A. J. McAmis and o. s. Rieff are contesting for the nomination of state auditor. Other state of- ficers have no opposition.
 In the course of time, the thin gray line of the blue and the gray will diminish to the vanishing point in membership of the U. c. V. and G. A. R., just as this generation has witnessed the disappearance of the Mexican war veterans. But taking their places will be the mil lions of young America who answ- cred the call of humanity to re- pei the invasion of the Hun. Their mission having been we'll performed and having returned to the ranks of civil life, these men proposed to keep green the history of their achievements through the agency of an organization which promises to be the greatest of it's kind in the history of America.
 ! The American Legion has been making tremendous growth in Ar kansas as we'll as other states and has in this state more than 5000
 paid-up members. Little Rock leads
 with a post of nearly 1000 Legion. aires. It is expected that the first
 annual convention to be held ir
 Helena August 16-17 will be one of the largest conventions of the year. Active membership campaigns are being carried on and silk Unit ed States flag and local post ban ner, valued at STA are to awarded the local post sending the largest number of delegates and alternates authorized under the state consti' tuition, in proportion to their paid
 membership on July Is. No post
 will be permitted to send a dele. gate unless it has at least 15 paid. up members one month prior to the convention.
 Department Commander J. J Harrison in an appeal to the boys
 who wore the khaki, said: "Buddies let's make Arkansas the strongest department of the American Legior
 in the south. We already lead many
 southern states, why not the strong
 est? Let's have record breaking
 convention at Helena in 1920. Let
 every post be represented. Let's go."

There are only 12 counties in the state that were not represent ed in the summer session of the Arkansas State Normal School at Conway. They are: Carroll, Chic- ct, Craighead, Crittenden, Desha, Fulton, Howard, Miller, Montgom- cry, Pike, Sharp and Washington. The total enrolment for the sum- mer session was 351, breaking all records. The largest before this year having been 296. There were ma, Tennessee and Mississippi. The Arkansas normal has a reputation throughout the country of being one of the most thorough institu- tions of it's kind.
 The next session of the legisla- ture will be asked to revise the rate of taxation that has been fix ed for motor vehicles in this state. A comparison of the laws in the various states shows striking variety of rates and regulations. No two states are alike. In consequence automobile owners going from one state to another find that they must pay different amounts and be sub ject to different regulations. The Arkansas rate is among the smallest in the Union, being $10.00 a year for all motor vehicles of , whatever size or use. The only other tax is $1 for chauffeurs. Nothing additional is paid for heavy motor trucks and by dealers and manufacturers. Kansas and Minnesota alone pay less than Ar kansas. or $5 for each car. In nearly all states the tax is based on horsepower for passenger cars and tonnage for motor trucks. The maximum in Georgia for instance, is SLIPS for trucks of more than seven tons and the tax in all states with the exception of half a dozen, is very heavy.
 It is admitted by all automobile owners and dealers that the Arr ] kansas tax is inadequate and in- equitable. It is manifestly unjust to the owner of small cars to re- quire them to pay the same amount as paid by the heavy trucks and commercial cars which are much harder on the roads.
 The American Automobile Asso- citation and the National Automobile Dealers Association have drafted a proposed uniform law which is to be recommended to all of the states and the assistance of the local state organizations will be asked in the effort to secure the enactment of this law in various legislations. It is admitted that improved highways kare of primary importance to the drivers of motor vehicles, and rep resenting as the do, the most pro- gressive element in society, they are ready and willing to do their part

4 Railroad Market

Those who follow stock market opera
tious closely insist that we are on the
eve of what may be termed n raiiro&d
market. In other words. the opinion
most general in best banking circles is
that railroad stocks which. over n
pcriod Of years have been more COM
nletcly liquidated perhaps than any
other group. are about to come into
their " and it is understood that the
buying Of the railroads ever since last
August has been by important interests
who entertain confidence in the outlook
for this group of properties operating
under the provisions of the new Cum
Minis. Esche railroad bill. which was
passed at the last session of Congress.
The railroads of the country are now
operating under an allowance OF highe
rates than previously obtained. This
il expected to place the carriers in a
stronger position than ever before. 1t
will permit the establishment of a
greater degree of efficiency through the
more liberal amounts that will be made
available for improving their properties.

Weakness of Exchange

The continued weakness of the fori
eign exchange market was variously
attributed to the international trade
position and to the appearance OF a
large amount of commercial bills. par
ticularly cotton. Leading bankers VINO
are familiar with the copper industry
continue to lay stress upon the fact
that an immense amount of the red
metal is needed in Europe, especially
in Germany. but that such purchases
could not be financed. Meantime. the
larger producing companies in tnIs
country have on hand an unprecedented
amour of copper with hardly any out
let abroad. The other causes OF the
continuous weakness in foreign ex-
change have been dwealt upon for
months past. to the fullest degree and
contain no new light on the subject.
1t would appear to be very simple
that il we are to be relieved of our
immense production of commodities over
and above domestic needs, some means
will have to be contrivcd to provide, in
some form or other, credits TO the
foreign purchasers who are so urgently
in need of Il great number of products.
At present. these are to be obtained
only in this country.
In the smaller nation exchanges,
some sensational declines occurred on
nominal transacticns. including a drop
and later recovery in Greek drachmas
from 80. 40 to $685..

Copper Situation Brighter

For the first time in several months
there have been developments in the
copper metal market which have caused
a better feeling among the leaders in
the trade, and although it cannot be
said that the gloom has entirely dis
appeared. it is, nevertheless, true that
there are some signs that a buying
movement Of some proportions is pos
siblp in the near future.
The change has been caused by the
attitude Of some of the consumers is
showing II willingness to cover for their
future requirements. The users are not
willing to pay more than fifteen cents
per pound delivered. and this figure has
ruled generally on all the transactions
which have taken place.
Reports have been heard that sales
were made by some of the smaller deal
ers at fourteen and three quarter cents
per pound, but in connection with these
reports it is learned that this business
was done at the refinery. In other
words. the purchasers paid the charges
