LOCAL LABOR TO BE EMPLOYED

The LaRosh Construction Com
pany, contractors for the new Meth
odist Institutional Church and Resi-
dence Hall, announce that it is their
preference to employ local labor.
They do not maintain large organic
alton of men, simply their superin-
tendents and enough foremen to
keep the organization. Probably not
more than a dozen men will be
brought in provided the local condi-
tions can furnish the others needed.
Mr.. LaRosh also announces that by
preference they will purchase through
local dealers. While they are out
siders they want to be part of the
community while they are here. AL
ready Mr.. LaROsh has waited upon
some of the material men to state
his plan of operation.
This information is very salts
factory to the Building Committee.
Large sums of money for the building
is being contributed locally and they
prefer to have it expended locally,
so that the community gets double
benefit.
The work of excavation goes stead
ily on and by the end of this week
will have been completed except for
the sub-basement for the heating
plant. If the weather is favorable
work on the foundations will begin
about the first of the new year.

UNLAWFUL TO USE HIGH
 POWER RIFLES FOR FISH
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, July 23.-Attorney General Utley has given an opinion to John W. Allen, the secretary of the fish and game commission, containing the following interpretation of laws relative to hunting and fishing:
 eYour letter of June is to the effect that in some portions of the state, high power rifles are being used to kill fish. You say that 8 high power rife ball kills every fish and fish egg within five feet of where it penetrates the water. The law says it shall be unlawful for any person to deposit, throw, drop or discharge in any manner in any of the waters of this state, any substance, liquid or gas, or anything else that will or does intoxicate or stupefy or in any manner injure any fish therein, whe- ther done for the purpose of catching or taking fish or not, and any person violating this section shall be deemed guilty of felony and upon conviction shall be confined in the state peniten- tiary for a term of not less than one month or more than twelve months. Under this provision of the law, it is the opinion of this office that the use of such a weapon as you describe would be a violation of the law"

PREDICTS ADOPTION
 OF l4TH AMENDMENT

Little Rock, June 22.-Gov McRae was the principal speaker at today's session of the Pulaski county Rural Teachers Association. The governor declared that the profession of teach ing was one of the most honorable as well as important in any community.
 We need men and women who will not use the teaching profession for a stepping stone to some other pro- fession, but who will devote their life to it. Tehre were 670,000 children of school age ir Arkansas in 1920. Of this number S26,000 attended school in 1920 and some of these for only a period of 126 days. In 1875 Arkansas voted a five-mill tax, later a 10-mill and then a l2-mill tax. Eighty-four per cent of the teachers are women. The men advanced the tax to 12 mills. What can the women and men do to- gether? I want each and every one of you to feel free to call on me at any time. Anything that lean do for you 10 advance the education ofArk- ansas children I will feel it my duty to do so.

I am trying in my small way to develop some of the natural resources of this section of Arkansas Arkansas Is a wonderful state and if We can only educate our people 10 realize the natural advantages they have, We will then have one of the greatest states in the Union, and we have 8 great people.
