FAVORS M'CULLOCH
 FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

Judge Sam Frauenthal of Little Rock is here today in the interest of his friend and former associate on the supreme bench of Arkansas, Judge Edgar A. McCulloch, who is a candi- date for reelection as chief justice. Judge McCulloch was first elected as associate justice and was appointed chief justice by Governor Donaghey when Judge Joseph NJ. Hill resigned to lead the railroad rate fight in the United States courts. When Judge McCulloch went to the bench there were over 800 cases on the docket un- disposed of and the court was over three years behind with it's work On July 12, when the court recessed for the summer, every case subject to call had been disposed of, and this con- dition has prevailed for the past several years. Much of the credit for this is due to Judge McCulloch, who is regarded by the bar and people gen. orally of the state as one of the most able jurists Arkansas has ever pro duced

TOURISTS RUSHING
 10 LAKE REGIONS
fBy United Press)

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug 2.-Tourist movement to the many lakes and re- sorts in Wisconsin and upper Michi- gan ports this summer will be unusu- ally heavy, despite the increased costs and the extremely cool weather which has held the resort district in its grip up to and including the fore part of July.
 Reports from Ashland, Wis, are to the effect that there appears to be al unprecedented rush of tourists and fishermen to lakes and summer re- sorts of northern Wisconsin. The re- sorsts around Namakagon lake are fairly swamped, and Lake Owen, be- tween Ashland and Hayward, near Ca ble, is alive with boats of summer vis- itors. The lakes near Ironwood, and in Villas and Oneida counties, have many visitors. Officials of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad report the tourist movement to the northern part of the state extremely heavy.
 One thing that is worrying the cot tagers and operators of summer re- sorts this year is the shortage of help. A number of northern Wisconsin school teachers have agreed to help out.

 Much attention has already been at tracted by the tour. It has aroused the interest of motor car dealers and owners as about the longest overland tour undertaken by Arkansas people in Arkansas. Citizens of other classes are watching it for it's effect upon the states citizenship as a whole.

The reasons for this state OF az

Long, "a weilknown agricultural ex-
pert, arc government control and beer.
rho price OF wheat and oats Ia regu-
lated, but no restrictions have been
placed on that of barley. AS the
market price OF barley is exception
ally high, farmers planted that grain
instead OF wheat and oats.
Professor Long shows that since
1918 wheat has been reduced by G70,-
600 acres, or moro than one-thlrd OF
the present area. while oats, also an
important bread stun. has fallen off
by $4,000 acres. "On tho basis OF
wheat" he says. this means loss
of bread grain equal TO some $4,000
900 bushels. or sufficient to feed
100000 PERSONS. II Is n curious
commentary on the fact that the
barley crop has considerably In

has 40 far occupied the position of
