WEATHER RETARDS
COTTON PLANTING

Washington, May 5.-Condi-
lions continued unfavorable for
cotton during the week just end
ed, the national Weather and
Crop Bulletin annouced-today.
The continued cool weather
and frequent rains in much of
the belt have been unfavorable
for cotton" it is stated. "Neces-
sary replanting has progressed
slowly and conditions have been
unfavorable for satisfactory ger
mination Of the late planted.
'The weather was less unfav-
orable, however, in the northeast
where field work made fairly
good plog1ess; planting has pro-
crossed northward to northern
North Carolina.
Cotton is up a generally good
stand III South Carolina, but
termination has been poor in
Georgia and much replantiGg is
necessary.
Little cultivation was possible
in the Mississippi valley and
very little planting was done dur
ing the week in the north CEN
trail part of the belt.
"The condition, stand, and pro
gress of the crop were generally
unsatisfactory in Texas, while

STILLS ARE MOVING,
white County Citizen


Sheriff Ben Allen of White
county, and Sheriff Emmett
Baldridge of Clebu1ne county,
Deputy J. P. Wood of White and
two government prohi officers
left Searcy Sunday morning for
campaign in the river bottoms
OF the eastern part Of White
county and the southwestern
part of Woodruff county. They
went to Georgetown and took a
gasoline boat and went to the
mouth OF Little Red river where
they raided a houseboat and
found nothing. They then went
to the houseboat of Richard Ed
wards and seatche il, filming
three and a half gallons Of whis-
key an complete still and forty
gallons of mash the still was not
in operation. Edwards was brot
to Searcy and put in jail.
Then officers went down White
river and searched what is
known as Jones houseboat on
the Woodruff county side. Here
they found a copper worm still
and took possession Of it. They
ten dropped back TO the White
county side of the river and
found so gallon still an 400
gallons Of mash, 200 gallons of
this mash was ready to be made
into white mule. This still was
fenced off to itself with baebed
wire, but the men who ran it no
doubt heard the gasoline boat
and made good their escape. The
still was destroyed and the mash
poured into White river to CON
taninate the morals Of the fin
ny tribe. The "a gallon copper
worm was brought 10 Searcy
and together with the other par
aphernalia is on exhibition in
Sheriff Aliens office.

yiable record in the capture OF

FIRST POWER DAM
READY BY DECEMBER
Officers Say Contractors Expect
70 Have Power Available
By That Time.

Unless construction Difficult
ties that are not now anticipated
arise during this summer and
next fall, electric power will be
available for Arkansas plants by
December l, from plant No. |, of
the Arkansas Hydro-Electric
Company on Little Red River
near Judsonia.
Construction has already been
started by the j. Livingston Go.
OF New York, which company
has built numerous hydro cleo
trlc plants, and has completed
other big contracting jobs, such
as the Grand Central terminals
in New York, and the Cor1mo-
dore and Biltmore hotels, also in
that city.
E. L. Stanfield, vice president
and general manager of the COM
pany said Saturday following a
conference with representatives
OF the contracting firm that he
was assured the plant will be
finished by December and thai
electric power will be available
at that time.
Dam No. l is being built about
seven miles above Judsonia at
q cost Of between $1,000, OOO,"
Nh. Stanfield said. Virgil C. Pet
tie vice president Of the Eng
land National Bank, of Little
Rock is president of the com
pany. The company is capatal-
lied at 100000 and has been
in existence five years during
which period a vast amount of
necessary preliminary work has
been done.
"To make the project possible
it was necessary to do tre,neH-
dous amount of detail work and
acquire land piece by piece, as
thousands upon thousands of
acres will be flooded.
''The policy of the company
calls for che sale of practically
all common and preferred stock
in Arkansas, so that control of
the project will remain in the
hands of Arkansas men.
Hydro Electric development
is SO intimately related to in
dustrial development that the
matter has an important element
of civic pride. 1t is important
that the control of the company
remain in the hands of men who
are interested vitality in the
growth and prosperity of Arkan-
sas. Cheap power will create an
industrial regeneration of Ar
kansas.
After the construction of the
first dam the company will be
ready to go ahead with other
power dams on the Red river
and elsewhere in the state. The
company will not confine it's de-

LITTLE ROCK
NEWS LETTER
By Clio Harper

Little Rock, May 2.-Gover-
nor Thomas G. McRae was the
first one to sign the petition for
the submission of a proposed a.
mendment to the constitution to
the constitution prohibiting loo
al or special legislation. A total
of 1920 signatures WILDE nee
essary to initiate the amend
ment. Signatures are being re-
celved in large numbers from all
over the state and it is expected
that the requisite number will
be secured in short time. This
will be only the beginning, how
ever, of the fight, for there will
belong legal complications be-
fore either of the proposed a.
mendments is certified out.
Walls the sentiment iniavnY-
Of the local legislation anend-
ment is strong in some quarters,
it cannot be denied that there
will be a very considerable op-
position to it,. The tenor of the
opposition is indicated by the
Bonneville Democrat, which ar
CUES that: Local legislation
should be restricted in some way
but we hope the promoters of
the drastic amendment proposed
on second thought will realize
the necessity of change in it's
provisions" The Democrat fur
Their says that " allof us arc dis
gusted with local laws, but if
we take one minute to think, we
can see that the amendment
suggested to be initiated would
be another black eye for Arkan-
sas."
The Little Rock Motor Club
hasundertaken the task of pre-
pairing data on Arkansas roads
for the benefit of those who de-
sire to tour through the state.
So many applications for rout-
ings have been received by the
local motor club that this step
was necessary if the state is
to receive the attention from the
motorists of other states. It is
planned to get daily report
from sections where road condi-
tions are often bad, and visits
will be made by the local club
to other towns in order to arouse
interest in this work.

tons, which must follow falling
prices of commodities and reduc
ed wages, there must be some
radical changes in the method
ofliving which has become popu-
lar during the last few years of
inflated values.
AS the prices of farm prod
ucts and industrial products fall
all wages and salaries must nee
essarily follow. This fact is rec
ognized by all economists. The
general public, which is, after
all, a bigger factor in the siJua-
ton than either the capitalists
or the laborel, must have some
consideration. But the general
public itself is not wholly with
out fault. One of the greatest
of these faults is extravaganza
and improvidence. Come easy,
go easy, has been the policy a
dopted by many. They have
spent with the pfodigality of a
prince believing that the golden
flood would continue forever.
But it has stopped. It'll as been
damned at the source. Those
who made princely salaries or
wages during and Immediately
after the war, now find them
selves looking for employment
or willing to accept any work at
a living wage.
Those who are familiar with
the working of the Federal court
system are more than ever inn
pressed with the necessity of a
change. The Federal district
court has degenerated into
scarcely more than police court
A few years ago it was court

FIREWORKS IN
 BISHOP CASE REPOSTPONED

The long expected fireworks again failed to explode in the Superior court this morning. when during the short calendar session before Judge John F.

The same fate met the divorce case of Adrianna Bogart Vii relH against Sergeant Frank Virelli of the state police. Still another case that promised some thrills, or at least flutter of excitement was that of Florence Valentine versus Freda Pollak, both parties of Norwalk, who have gained prominence through the plaintiffs action for damages because of the alleged breaking up of her home by the defendant, who it was alleged stole the love of Mrs. Nalen- tines husband. chauffeur.
 The case was once heard by a jury and the plaintiff was awarded dam ages of S4200. This decision was re- yer sed. and it is now announced that the matter has been settled out of court. The plaintiff withdrew the case and it is understood satisfac- tory settlement was made.
