NOT SCHOOL FUNDS

According to an opinion handed down by Attorney General Arbuekle at Little Rock Tuesday, special funds obtained by the mortgaging of the property of the special free school districts for the purpose of erecting a building and equipping it are not a part of the common school fund or the school fund of each county, in the sense that these terms are used in the constitution and statues of the state.
 Funds obtained in manner not named in the statute are not realized from taxation, the opinion said, and are not a part of the common school fund, but belong to the special dis triet raising them in special man. ner for designated purpose.

HOG FROM NEWARK
 HERD SELLS HIGH
ONCE HEAD OF BENSON HERD SELLS FOR FANCY PRICE TO
 ST. LOUIS BREEDER

That really good hogs are being produced right here at home is evi. denced by letter received this week by Herbert Benson, Newark's Poland China Breeder, from representative of one of the leading trade papers saying that he had sold the Dynamo former head of the Benson herd for the sum of five thousand dollars.
 This seems like an enormous price to farmers and stockmen here, and only goes to show that in this sec tion of the country we have been slow to realize the value of good hogs and properly estimate their worth.
 MT. Benson sold this hog in a sale at Bradford, Ark, last fall, and re. ceived only small sum. Missouri breeders, quick to recognize the mer- its of this splendid animal lest week paid the price mentioned and know they are getting value received.
 MT. Benson started raising Poland China hogs a few years ago on a small scale, but has tried to set and maintain standard of quality in his herd that cannot be excelled by breed CTS anywhere, and he now boasts oi enc of the best herds in the state MT. Benson says that the sale of this animal is decided boost to the farmers of this community as we'll as himself, because local farmers arc the owners of number of the off springs of this splendid animal.
 Below is the letter in regard to the sale:
 Palmyra, Mo-, Mch. 27, 1920. Mr. Herbert Benson,
 Newark, Arkansas.
 Dear Herbert:
 am writing that your good wish has come true. We sold The Dyna- mo to a St. Louis man for $5,000 Herbert he has had good care and sure looked fine.
 Listen, Jumps and 1 decided the other night, that in so much as you have given us your buying orders this year, while we are making nothing on buying orders, it enables us to help on sales and at the same time we are helping you. We appreciate you and want to see you do we'll in the business and sometime this sum- mer, we are going to make you a present of good gilt.
 Wishing you the best of success. I am
 Yours truly,

FIREMAN IS INJURED
 WHEN TRAIN WRECKS
D. o. REEVES OF C0TTER HAS NARROW ESCAPE WHEN FEN.
 CINE HITS BOULDER

Northbound Red Ball freight run ming between Newport and Cotter, was wrecked at Soldiers Rock on the White River road between Mount Olive and Boswell, Thursday evening. The engine and two cars left the track.
 Fireman D. o. Reaves of Cotter was seriously cut about the fleshy part of his left leg and was otherwise injured. He was shovling coal into the firebox when the engine left the track and turned completely over.
 The wreck was caused by the en- zine shrinking large boulder that had rolled down the mountain side and lodged on the track. The boulder was on sharp curve and could not be seen by the engineer. The train was running about 15 miles an hour when the engine struck the boulder The engine was thrown from the track and plowed into an embankment be- tween the track and the river. Had it not been for the embankment, the engine probably would have plunged into the river. It seems almost a miracle that the engineer and fireman escaped alive.
 Southbound passenger train No. 205 was caught behind the wreck and delayed about 24 hours.

COCKLE-BURS POISON
 HOGS WARNS DIR. BUX

Many hogs die each year in Arkan- sas from eating cockle-bur plants just when the first two leaves appear ac- cording to Dr. J. H. Bux, U. s. Bu- reau of Animal Husbandry. Hogs will not eat the plant unless other forage is lacking. The animals are often found dead in fields where many cookie burs grow without any sign of sickness having been noted before death. Treatments for this poison have not been found. The bur ol seed is not poisonous but may kill the hogs by obstructing the bowels. Dr. Bux advises that the preventative measures against cockle-bur poison ing are to keep hogs off of pastures where young cockle-hurs are growing unless other sorage is fairly abund- ant.

STATE CAMPAIGN IS
 NOW UNDER HEADWAY
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR OF. FEN HEADQUARTERS AND
 START CAMPAIGN

Little Rock, March 29.-The guber- material campaign in this state open ed today in earnest, and before the close of the week nearly all the can didates will be actively in the cam paign with established headquarters in Little Rock.
 Smead Powell of Camden concededly one of the strong factors in the contest for the gubernatorial nomination op- ened headquarters at the Hotel Marion
 Monday, and J. c. Floyd, another strong factor, will establish head quarters at the Gleason Hotel Mr. Floyd, who was in Little Rock Sat urday, says he is now actively in the campaign and will continue his activi-
 ties until the primaries in August. T. c. McRae of Prescott, also with strong following, was in Little
 Rock Saturday. He said he expected
 to give the graeter portion of his | time from now on to his candidacy. Harry Walsh, the drummer candi-
 date, will open his campaign in Con-
 way County the first week in April. l Judge George R. Haynie of Prescott
 and Secretary of State Tom J. Terrall are actively at work sending out lit- l erature to the four corners of the state. The Rev. Frank Wells says that he has made speeches in more l than 60 counties already and will con-
 tinue until August.
 Representative John A. Riggs of
 Hot Springs, author of the Arkansas
 law permitting women to vote in pri-
 maries, has already opened head
 quaters in the Gleason Hotel.
 The names mentioned are the only
 announced candidates for governor to
 date, according to the best informed politicians.
 The contest for secretary of state
 is confined to Ira c. Hopper of Mont gomery County and B. J. Reaves of
 Little Rock. MT. Hopper served con- siderable time in France during the world war and made splendid record with the American Forces.
 Neill Bohlinger a native Little Rock boy, now residing in Dardanelle,
 and Senator Utley of Benton are the candidates for Encouragement. A. J. McAmis, deputy in the au- ditor's office, and Ollie Reiff are the candidates for state auditor.
 The state highway department, one of the most important departments of the state government on account of the great good roads programme inaugurated by the last legislature, promises to be leading issue in the campaign. As far as can be learned, Commissioner Bill" Owen has made an acceptable officer and will be a most formidable candidate.
 State Treasurer Ferguson, Superin- tendeht of Public Instruction, J. l.. Bond and Agricultural Commissioner Jim Ferguson have no opposition. By the unanimous consent of the bar of
 the state, Chief Justice E. A. Nc
 Culloch and Justice Frank Smith will be selected without opposition. Judge
 Smith is now rounding out his first
 term on the supreme court bench.
