The commissioner declared that
despite evidence of law-breaking in
some sections, the country as a
whole is behind the amendment to
the constitution. New York and the
east, he asserted, cannot be consid-
cred as reflecting the attitude of
the country at large and in general
west of Pittsburgh the country is
dry.
Difficulties experienced with pro-
hibition agents were to be expected,
he declared, but as a body they
were doing their duty. Most of the
enforcement agents Mr.. Kramer
described as men who could "take
a drink in order to carry out their
ORDERS" but his best agent, he said,
was Methodist minister.

SENATE COMMITTEE
DISCUSSES PRICES
Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill
Sidetracked For Moment

Washington, Jan. S.-Considera-
ton of the Fordney emergency tar
iff bill was sidetracked for time
today by the senate finance COM
mittee while it's members defended
efforts of the government to force
down living costs. The departure
from the program came when wit
ness charged the government with
responsibility for economic condi-
tions confronting the country
through encouragement Of buyers
strike. For an hour decorum was
cast off and pointed exchanges took
place!
Notwithstanding warnings by Act
ing Chairman McCumber and Sena-
tor Smoot, Republican, of Utah that
the committee must obtain speedy
action on the bill to prevent further
losses for the farmers; Senators
Thomas of Colorado and Jones Of
New Mexico, Democrats INDUCED in
spirited argument with John P.
Wood of Philadelphia, who appear
ed in behalf of the wool manufac-
turers. Colonel Woods assertion
that the government, and particu-
larly the department Of justice had
been "unwise" in promulgating a
campaign against high prices met
with the rejoinder by Senator
Thomas that present conditions
were simply those of zone man be-
ing willing to see another lose mon
ey but very anxious not to lose any
himself"
Senator Jones asked the witness
whether his charges of unwisdom
could not also be applied to the
Calder committee investigating
housing and to the senate itself.
+tFor many members have been &C
tive in 'agitating for price de-
cline" Mr.. Wood replied that he
was unfamiliar with the Calder
committees work, but he knew the !
accusations of senators many times
had materially affected prices.
"My objections" continued the i,

witness, care principally against the
methods used by the government
and particularly by Attorney Gem
eral Palmer. Mr. Palmer and his
staff, instead of seeking out and
prosecuting specific cases of profit
eering, have dealt in generalities. 1t
has resulted in discredit attaching
to all of business"
Senator Thomas declared that Mr..
Palmer's course was the only way
to uncover specific cases, and added
that business should have purged
it's own ranks. He expressed the be-
lief that the consumer had some
rights after all, and that the govern
ment had functioned in the interests
of ''vast majority of the people"
when it sought to bring down the
price of commodities.
To this declaration Colonel Wood
replied that there had been a "war1
ranted resentment against the high
prices" and said that the govern
ment campaign had been successful
to the point that all prices have
gone down and to the extent that
hundreds of thousands of men have
been thrown out of work"
The committee also heard Repre-
sentative Walsh, Republican, Mas
sachusetts; John Astergren of
Portsmouth, Va, representing vege-
table oil producers and D. Lawrence
Groner of Norfolk, Va, represent
ing peanut producers
Mr.. Astergren, as we'll as Mr.. Gro
ner, supported the bill, but request
ed the committee to correct the pro-
posed methods of assessing tariff on
vegetable oils. The bill fixes the
rate on a per gallon basis, while Mr..
Astergren sought to have it levied
on the unit of pound.
Representative Walsh appeared
for manufacturers using Egyptian
long staple cotton, on which the bill
levied a duty of seven cents pound
with compensatory duty on manu-
facturers of the product. He pro-
tested that the duty had been Sought
by none Of the industrial concerts
and that it's inclusion was "absolute-
y unnecessary"

State Law Forbids Children Under 16
Driving Cars.

Children under 16 years of age
are forbidden by law to drive
automobiles in Missouri. In this
section of the country this law has
not been generally enforced, but it
would be wise for parents to put
a check on this practice before
something happens to cause some
body trouble and expense.

Think Hard Enough;
 Possess Millions

New York, April 25.-Mister, are you tired of being poor? Are you packing a yen for the peace and novelty of paid bills, private yachts and another pair of shoes?
 Do you think you could stand it if someone handed you a tested recipe for making s1,000,000?
 Well, brace yourself; here it is:
 "Take one mental image of a for tune; add a thought of possession and pinch of confidence together with equal amounts of sure pur- pose. Pour the whole into a metal mould and set in the oven of con- centration. Keep the temperature 100 per cent positive; single gust of wavering will spoil the mixture. Remove when the metal image is duplicated in your credit books"
 There, how do you like that?
 It was offered this afternoon by one of the first and perhaps the only feminine psycho-analyst, Ger trude Steel Chambers, who declares that it cannot fail because she has seen it worked out!
 Mrs. Chambers is a brown-eyed, gentle-voiced southern sgirl with the ruddy cheeks and confident bear ing of mental and physical health. She has come to New York to lec- ture on "phychology of success" Sat the town hall, after which she is to settle in Montclair for a long ser ies of talks at the Montclair Club. Her work of exploring the dark corners of human minds has been carried all over the west and south.

TWO VICTORIES FOR M. H. S

The M. H. S. baseball team made good start Tuesday, April 19 when it defeated the Aubrey all-star team 19-7. The boys started the scoring early in the game by a number of good hits. Harris, Au- brey's pitcher was knocked out of the box in the sixth inning and Langston was put in. He handled the boys better and allowed only three runs in as many innings. The Marianna boys excelled the visitors in hitting and base running. Flip pin and Harp both pitched well, al- lowing only five hits.
 M. H. s. Whitewashes Helena Hi.
 M H. s. again showed their skill in the national game by holding Helena Hi hitless and scoreless on last Monday. This was due to the excellent pitching of Flippin for 6 innings and Harp for three. The Helena boys fought hard in the first of the game, but seemed to lose spirit when Marianna got a good lead. However, they all played clean ball and were good losers.

The good citizens of Arkansas are becoming weary If enacting the role of apologists. They have ncthing to apologize for, no more than has Boston. the East side of New York, the mountains of Tennessee, the plains of Kansas, or the swamps ot | Louisiana. What we have the Is the gift of the Creator of all things and our people are as intelligent, as progressive, as cultured, and as worthy in all respects as the average populance of any state in the Un- ion.
 The Arkansas Industrial School for boys near Pine Bluff, is pub fishing small eight page paper, The Industrial School Advance, which is a most commendable per iodical, appearing twice month and devoted to the interests of the boys in the institution. Judge w. E. Sorrels, chairman of the Board of Managers, is deeply interested in the publication, as are many other good citizens of Pine Bluff, includ- ing the members of the Rotary Club. The club has undertaken to provide for the boys a small printing out fit and to arrange instruction for them in editing and publishing, as we'll as printing. Members of the Typographical Union are also giv- ing them their aid and assistance.
 A notable convention is being held in Little Rock this week on Wednes- day and Thursday, the annual meet ing of the Arkansas Public Health Association. Many questions vitally affecting the health interests of the people are being discussed by men and women who have given the subject careful study and in many instances by those who have devoted their lives to bettering the condi- tions of the people from a health and sanitary viewpoint. The asso- citation is making an especial fight against tuberculosis, which annually claims as it's victims a population equal to the towns of Russellville or Batesville. It is said that 25,000 people are i'll with tuberculosis at this time in Arkansas and it can not be denied that the economic waste due to the disease reaches into the millions. Governor McRae has interested himself in the cam paign for improved health condi- tions and has urged a large at tendance of citizens. The session will conclude Thursday evening with the presentation of drama, No body's Case" written by Miss Erie Chambers, executive secretary of the association, and produced by Mrs. E. E. Aronson.
 Pope county citizens are proud of a distinction which has come to the county, as revealed by the roster of the Oklahoma state legis- lature. From this it appears that three Pope county boys were mem bers of the recent general assembly of Oklahoma J. F. Strayhorn serv- ed in the house, and Luther Harri- son and Louis Morton served in the senate. Mr Strayhorn says, "I doubt if there is another legislature in the United States that has among it's members three men who were reared in one county in different state"
