 "The court does not think it any thing unusual that we have not reach ed 100 per cent enforcement of tht prohibition law" Judge Clark stated Since the first days of civilization books laws against murder, but these 1 laws have not prevented murder. We have laws against larceny, burglary and other crimes, but occasionally they are violated. We can say, how. ever, that our laws have reduced the number of such cases and so it vii be with prohibition. A 100 per cent enforcement probably will not be reached for three generations and even 100 years from now we will still nave duQlIlS III lllS olltiS "oS "S have narcotic addicts at present.

 The grand jury's report in full fol- lows:
 To the Hon. George w. Clark,
 Circuit Judge:
 Sir:-We your grand jury selected for the January 1922 term of the Faulkner circuit court, beg leave to report as follows:
 We have examined l75 witnesses; i; have found 67 true bills, IT for fel- ones and 50 for misdeneanors; have dismissed two cases and referred two to the next grand jury.
 A committee appointed to examine the reports of the various justices of the peace of the county report that all reports with the exception of two have been filed in proper shape.
 A committee visited the jail for an inspection and report that the same generally is in good condition. We find the water works and one commode need some attention, and we recommend that this be looked after The roof on the court house needs re- pairing and we ask that this be done We further ask that the county judge build a crossing on the west side of the court yard so the tractors may cross without damaging the walk as they now do. We further ask that the county judge keep the tractors and other machinery stored in the court yard in the shed that was built for that purpose, for the protection of the machinery as well as the looks of the yard.
 We recommend that the county judge allow the county superintend ent to make such repairs in the room that is now occupied by him, as he may see fit, provided the same is done at the expense of the said superin tendent, which we understand he is willing to do.
 The committe appointed to visit the poor farm reports two inmates con, AiA'N' NiiSiN, eiSy SdS SiNS olS WI provided for, plenty to eat and re- ceive good treatment. A little repair ing is need on the main building.
 We have examined the reports of the various county officers and find all have made their reports as re- quired by law. The commissioners of accounts have made their report as required.
 We find that the county general school fund is used for the convent ence of the county judge, and not as the law provides. On July 28, 1919, we find there was transferred from this fund to the courthouse and re- cord fund the sums of S559.71 and $761.51, but there is no record of such transfer on the books of the county court of the order being made This we do not understand Also or October 5, 1920, we find that the sun
