made $2,000 more this year. He says that every strawberry grower who ships out of Beebe will use potash fertilizer next year.
 "This spring strawberries have been shipped from Beebe to Denver, as far East as Boston, as far North as Ontario, Canada, and one car went to Winnipeg. The freight on the car to Winnipeg amounted to SLIGO and had to be prepaid. The berries ar rived in good condition.
 sThis explains why Beebe straw berry growers are going to use plenty of potash fertilizer hereafter.
 'Dr. Abbington is going to use 150 pounds of acid prosphate and 150 pounds Of raw bone meal on his straw berries this fall and next spring he will use 200 pounds to the acre of a truck growers fertilizer containing 10 per cent potash"

HONOR HERO WHO
 DIED IN FRANCE
Ernest V. Bollinger, a Little Rock Boy, Enlisted in Country's Service, Lived Thru Bloody Shambles,,
 Then Succumbs to Disease.
Special to The star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, May 26.-Oniy few short years ago little lad was ire qaently seen about the State Capitol grounds in Little Rock playing with other children and gazing in awe upon the magnificent building.
 Next Sunday and Monday the mor- tai remains of this same little lad, now acclaimed one of the nations heroes, will lie in state in the rotunda of the Capitol with a military guard of honor from Fort Logan H. Roots, while hundreds will pass by the cas- ket to pay respects to one who gave his all for his country. On Monday afternoon the body will be consigned to it's final resting place under a bank of flowers in the National cemetery, while his surviving comrades of the American Legion are covering the graves of the honored dead with flow CTS and paying respect to the memory of those who have fallen in the na- tion's wars.
 Ernest V. Bollinger of 1421 West 4th street, Little Rock, an only son, lacked four months of being 19 years of age when he responded to his coun- try's call and enlisted for the over seas service. He fought with the in- tTepid vaior of youth and gave a good account of himself in the bloody shambles at Cantigny, Soissons, St. Mihiel, the Argonne and the advance on Sedan and died of disease March 2, 1919 in France. He was awarded the distinguished Service Cross for extra ordinary heroism in action near Soissons, Friday, July 19, 1918. The official citations record that he ad- vanced on a party of machine gun snipers on the Paris-Soissons road, showing exceptional bravery by reach ing the machine gun and killing the snipers with hand grenades and the automatic rife.
 Little did he think when as a lad he played in the corridors of the State Capitol, that within a short time he would lie in state beneath it's majestic dome.

LENrENT WITH A GERMAN.
Sergeant Sentenced to 10 Months for
 III Treating Prisoners.

Leipsic, May 26.--Sergeant Heynen, accused of having illtreated British soldiers who were prisoners of war at the prison camp at Herne. Westphalia, was sentenced to ten months impris- onment by the high court here today and ordered to pay part of the trial costs. He was the first German sol dier to be tried on criminal charges arising from the conduct of the war.
 In his summing up address the prosecuting attorney general demand ed that Heynen be sent to prison for two years.
 Reviewing the testimony, tn prose- cutting attorney declared that while prisoners of war "couid not be ex- pected to be handled with kid gloves" Sergeant Heynen was shown to have exceeded the requirements of his po- sition as guard over British prisoners in twenty-eight instances.
 Attorneys for the defense declared the sergeant was constantly beset with difficulties due to the hostile att titude of British prisoners at the camp at Herne. Westphalia. The British were said to have been generally un- Truly.
 Sergeant Heynen made an address to the court, declaring that he had faith in the judges sense of justice and asking for an acquittal. The next case to be tried will be that of Captain Mueller, who was accused of Ill treating British prisoners at the camp at Ksr!sxuhe.

Secretary of State Hopper Is Sending to Newspapers for Publication Synopses of the General Acts

Special to The Star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, May 29.--Secretary of State Hopper is sending out to the newspapers of the state for publica- ton as provided by statute, the synop- ses of the general acts passed by the last legislature. The synopses were prepared under the direction of Att torney General Utley and consist of 21 columns of non-pariel type.
 The legislature made an appropria- ton of $20,000 for 1921, for publiea- tion of the synopses and $25,000 for 1922, for the synopses and proposed amendments. It develops that this amount is much too small. The aver age cost of publishing the synopses will be $499 to the county, with at least three of the larger papers being given full legal rates. This will amount to nearly $40,000, so that it will be possible to pay this year only one.half of the total amount. Next year the $25 ,000 will be available to pay for the publication of the amend ments and to apply on the unpaid bal ance due for the synopses. The rest of it will have to be carried over to the next session of the legislature for a deficiency appropriation. This is the first time, however, that the legisla- ture has made any appropriation for immediate payment for publication of this character. The only trouble is that the synopses were much longer than had been expected and an insuf- ficient amount was appropriated.
 The synopses will be printed in the Weekly Star June 9, 16 and 23.

POTASH FERTILIZER
 FOR STRAWBERRIES
Growers Around Beebe Will Use Large Quantities Next Year
 Experiences.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Strawberry growers in the Beebe district have found that commercial fertilizer containing large per cent of potash greatly increases the yield, according to H. M. Cottrell, agricul- turist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce, who visited the White county town at the invitation of merchants last Saturday.
 U. Garrison applied 200 pounds to the acre of 10-2-10 mixture," said Mir. Cottrell 'This is a fertilizer un- usually rich in potash. He says that the increased yield of one picking when the price was at it's top paid for the fertilizer. He says that the potash increased both the yield and the quality of every picking during the season. Up to May 20, Mir. Garri- son had shipped 1000 crates from nine acres of strawberries and expected to pick for 10 days longer.
 Another grower who used a 10-2- 10 fertilizer on his strawberries said that the heavy percentage of potash made the berries larger, more highly cOiofeu ana more sOlIu. AS the result of the application of fertilizer much larger proportion of the berries that ripened during the wet, cold, weather were in good condition for shipping.
 ''Dr. K. H. Abbington, president of the Citizens bank, has 10 acres of strawberries on his farm He watched carefully the methods and results se- cured by every grower in the district. He says that if he had used a fer tilizer strong in potash he would have

DUBLIN FIRE IS
 BLOW AT PEACH
Will Increase Home Trouble and Dis credit Republicans in England. Says Paper--Archives of Untold Value
 Are Destroyed in Ruins.

Dublin. May 26.--Smoking ruins marked today the site of the historic customs house of Dublin, which was burned yesterday afternoon by a raiding party of civilians. During the night sudden bursts of flame in the twisted chaos of stone and steel lighted up the scene, about which British armed forces kept vigilant guard.
 after pitched battle in and about the old building, spent the night in var ious prisons in the city, and the bodies of upwards of dozen persons killed during the struggle reposed in morgues. It was believed that some of the raiders perished in the fire they kindled. The exact number of wounded had not been learned early today.
 Priceless Archives Burn.
 The customs house was completed in 1791, and was one of the chief archi- tectural ornaments of thescity. It was of the Doric style of architecture and was crowned with dome surmounted by statue of Hope.
 Archives of an almose priceless character were destroyed in the flames which swept thru the building after gasoline had been thrown about and ignited by the raiding party. It was said here today that the destruc- tion of no other building in the city, not even Dublin Castle, would have caused as great loss to crown off, fcials.
 'It is not merely blow to Irish pride and commerce." said the Irish Tines this morning, in commenting on the fire, "but it is blow to all our prospects of peace. It's political ef- feet in Great Britain will be to still further discredit the Republican de- mands, but the effect in Ireland will be to increase the difficulties of any form of national settlement"

 Insisting on relieving the Boss from rowing on the way back, he took his place at the oars and waited for the boat to be pushed off into the stream. But the Boss, with his hand upon the bow, stood hesitatingly before giving the final shove.

 The Pearlhunter protested against his going to such trouble; but the Boss had his way.
 That pearls lntirely too valuable to take chances on," he muttered, lay ing his coat in the bow, with the shot gun across 1t, giving the final shove to the boat and leaping in. 'T reckon III Jist stick around till y'u git it in tn bank tmorrow. That hell-hound, tn Red Mask, stuck up tn Milford stage down tn river last week. Your Blue Moon would be nuts t him: ah' we did make right smart fuss when y'u found it."
 He shifted the six-shooter in his pocket from between the edge of the seat and his hip, picked up the shot gun and examined the caps on the tubes.
 You c'n all talk about these new Tangled six-guns that wan t, but they cayn't nothin' come up with a good ol' scatter-lock when things git tight"
 The young man at the oars made no reply to these remarks. He was think ing of that bit of flaming cloth behind the chink at the cabin. For a moment the impulse came on him to tell the Boss, but he decided to keep his own counsel.
 The moon had poked her round face up over the hills by the time they landed at Fallen Rock. The Pearl hunter picked up the big bass and led the way to the cabin up under the cliff.
 The candle was still shining out through the one small south window, the dinner for the moonlight, a little square of luminous yellow set in the gray and ragged logs. Full of the big news he bore, the young man hurried up the slope. The pearl almost seemed to become creature of sense and sympathy; to feel warm against him; the luster of 1t to shine through his pocket.
 When within few feet of the door he heard his mother cough-hissing whistfing; choky. He dropped the fish and darted in at the door.

ELECTRIC DRIVE SHIPS FAIL?
U. $. s. Tennessee Type Is Attacked
 by Senator King.

Washington, May 29.--Senator King. Democrat, of Utah, told the Senate today that he had been in- formed that the electric drive system adopted for American warships had failed badly in the case of the super dreadnaught Tennessee.
 Senator Poindexter, Republican, of Washington, member of the naval committee, said that while motors on the Tennessee had burned out on two occasions, these defects had been remedied and she would sail this week to join the Pacific fleet.
 When asked who "the anonymous naval officer" was from whom he ob- tanied his information, Senator King read newspaper article telling of the alleged failure of the Tennessee to meet the tests.
 Senator Poindexter told the Senate all necessary steps had been taken by the navy to eliminate the defects and that the electric drive system was remarkable success, putting our ves- sells ahead of any other in the world !"
