ARKANSAS NEEDS MORE
 LIVE STOCK ON FARMS

Since 1900 there has been a 30 per cent decrease in the number of beef cattle in the United States. During this time the pop ulation has increased about 40 per cent.
 While business depression has affected the cattle market ad- versely, it would be well for Ar kansas farmers to consider that this decrease means consideIf able depletion in the meat sup ply of the country and that soon this condition must right itself.
 Present conditions indicate that ths is a favorabl time to improve the quality and increase the number of animals on many farms of the state, according to T. Roy Ried, live stock special ist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkan- sas. 1t is likely that very few growing and breedine}cattle will be sold from Arkansas this year because of market conditions, he says,
 Crop reports indicate that pastures have improved in most sections of the state and that the prospect for Ina y crop is now up to the 10 year average. It would seem to be fol.y to put young growing cattle or breed ing cows on the market with such prospects for pastures and feed and considering the fact that now there is only one beef for every two farms in the state.
 Only 1,815 farms a total of 232,604 farms in Arkansas re- ported purebred beef cattle, ac- cording toth e 1920 census. The average value per head of all cattle, except milk cows, in Ar kansas on January 1, 1921, was lower than for any other state except one. There is need for improvement in quality which can be secured by the use of good registered beef bulls on the heavy framed COWS now on the farms in the state.

CAMP PIKE IS TO
 BE ABANDONED

Washington, July 26.-Camp Pike is to be abandoned, all of the troops will be removed and the greater part of the buildings will be salvaged, Secretary of War Weeks announced today.
 Only the land and certain of the ground ana under ground improvements and utilities, such as tracks, water and sewer sys- tems, lighting and heating plants, and certain buildings for use as storehouses will be retain ed in case future appropriations permit the use of the vacated camps for citizens military training camps.
 While the announcement that Camp Pike was among those to be abandoned was not wholly un expected, the action of Secretary Weeks, following closely upon his promise to Senator Robinson to advise him in advance if Camp Pike was to be discontin- ued, came as surprise. Senator Robinson did not know of the move until some time after Sec retary Weeks statement had been released for publication.
 Simultaneous with the an nouncement that Camp Pike is to be abandoned, Secretary Weeks issued a statement show ing the future stations of troops now located at Pike is to be at Camp Lewis, Wash. The follow ing organizations of the Third Division are to be transferred to that camp: Fourth, Seventh, 30, and 38th Infantry, the 10th and 18th field artillery and the 9th Engineers.
 Camp Pike is one of seven can comments to be abandoned.
 Reduction of the United Stat $ army to peace time strength of 15Oooo men will be accam- plished by July 3l, in accordance with the decision of Congress when it refused to appropriate funds to pay off a greater force after October 1. With the reduc- tion, Secretary Weeks announc- ed today, there will be a general redistribution of troops, practi- cal abandonment of seven of the great wartime army canton ments, placing of many organi- zations on the inactive list and skeletonization of others.

THE FROSTING DISH

When I was just little tad Not more than eight or nine, One special treat to make me glad Was set apart as "mine." On baking days she granted me The small boys dearest wish, And when the cake was finished, she Gave me the frosting dish. I've eaten chocolate many ways Eve had it hot and cold Eve sampled it throughout my days In every form it's sold, And though l still am fond of it, And hold it's flavor sweet, The icing dish I still admit Remains the greatest treat Never has chocolate tasted so, Nor brought to me such joy As in those days of long ago When 1 was but boy, And stood beside my mother fair Waiting the time when she Would gently stoop to kiss me there And hand the plate to me-. Now there's another in my place Who stands where once l stood, And watches with an upturned face And waits for something good And as she hands him spoon and plate I chuckle low and wish That might be allowed to wait
 To scrape the frosting dish.

CalOmel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take

shington.-Republican member:
of the ways and means committee o.
tie house are in 3cath grapple with
that political characterization revis
ion-well knowing that they and theil
Republican colleagues are in Imminent
danger of being the victims at the
next congressional elections should
they unwarily become entangled in its
tentacles.
The chief enemy of the public man
of today is the taxation octopus. It's
habitat is as wide as civilization but
in the United States is particularly
fierce and powerful, often inflicting a
slow but painful death upon it's prey.
Many a political scalp hangs at it's
belt and more public careers have
died abOrning from its sting than from
any other cause.
Republicans and Democrats alike
have learned through bitter experience
to give this ferOCiOus antagonist a
wide path and to avoid conflict when
ever possible. But the secretary of the
treasury, Andrew w. Mellon, has fore
ed the issue by appearing before the
ways and means committee and point
ing out that we need the money
lots of it, and it's up to you to pro-
vide methods for getting it, And Mr..
Mellon went further and gave the
committee lot of suggestions as to
how it could best be raised, and if his
suggestions are adopted every man,
woman and child in the United States
will feel the governments right arm
probing about in their pOcketbOoks or
wherever else they keep their money.
The committee didn't need any ad-
vice as to how to raise the money.
What the committee wanted to know.
and still wants to know, is how to
raise the money without any accom-
howl of protest. The Demo-
Gratis don't like Mr.. Melons sugges-
tons, but hope they will be adopted. |
The reason is simple. In the words |
of one of the Democratic leaders, the |
MELONS suggestions are excellent. l |
hope they will all be adopted. Their
adoption will wreck the Republican
party"
And this same Democrat went on
to say that the Republicans were too
shrewd to bring about their own sui
eide. In my opinion" he's continued,
the Republicans will reduce taxes to
such an extent that revenue will be
less than expenditures, point with
pride to their streak of economy, and
run up tremendous deficit which,
If course, will have to be paid for later.
But they won't cross that bridge until
hey get to it,"

IRE OF PROBERS IS AROUSED
Charged That Board Had countenaneee
Undue Lending To New York
Banking Group

shingtOn.-Criticism of federal
reserve system credit policies which
was made before a congressional com,
mittee by John Shelton Williams. for
mer comptroller Of the currency,
| aroused resentment on the part of the
systems highest officers - Governor
Harding of the reserve board and Gov
ernOr Strong of the New York reserve
bank. In one of the frequent verbal
interchanges Governor Harding charg
ed across the committee room swing
ing his fist, but was halted by strug-
CLING associates just in front of his adj
versary, who remained cool, but was
rising for the threatened encounter.
A few minutes later Mr. Strong,
while reading to the committee a re-
port which charged Mr.. Williams with
false and misleading statement" was
interrupted by the former comptroller,
who shouted:
That statement of yours is false"
Governor Strong, however, continue
reading, and presently referred to Mr.
Williams as being Jealous of his pre-
negatives"
And that's a lie, too" the latter in
terjected.
AT this point | request the com
mittee to require the comptroller to
make oath whether he has stated the
whole truth or not" Governor Strong
acclaimed.
Chairman Anderson ruled amid
the confusion that lit was not feasible
to adopt the policy at this stage of
the game"
Both federal reserve officials, with a
number of associates, had sat appar-
emily unmOved during two days, along
with an audience which numbered |
many senators and representatives al
led with the agricultural bloc" in

hree general charges.
He said that the board had counte-

School Dynamited Near Chattanooga

Chattanooga. The East Ridge
school building, located in suburb
east of Missionary Ridge, and which
was partly destroyed by cyclone
recently was completely RACED by two
charges of dynamite placed by some
one unknown to the authorities. The
building was one-story concrete
structure comparatively new and the
only building of the kind in the SUI
burb. The only motive officials offer
for the outrage is that it was done by
some member of the criminal element
who has recently been arrested in a
crusade being enforced to prevent Joy
riding and attendant evils.
