OKLAHOMA TOWN IS
DESTROYED BY STORM
Nine Persons Killed, 38'Injur
ed When Cyclone Strikes
Kemp City Saturday Night.
Denison, Tex., May 21.—
Nine persons were killed, 38
were injured and Kemp City, j
Okla., eight miles east of Deni
son, was wiped off the map in
the tornado which last night
swept a path three-quarters of
a mile wide and five miles long
in the Kemp City section. Of
the nine dead, eight were kill
ed at Kemp City, and the oth
er, a child, at its father home
five miles east of Denison. On
ly three small dwellings remain
standing at Kemp City, where
the storm spent its fury.
The damage to growing crops
and outhouses throughout the
affected area was considerable
but only two persons are re
ported to have sustained injur
ies outside of Kemp City.There
12 business houses and 60 resi
dences were demolished. This'
is the second tornado to visit
that vicinity in recent years.
The storm broke over Kemp
City at 9:23 o’clock last night
and in a few minutes nothing
remained except debris. The
bodies of the dead were found
in some instances, hundreds of
yards from where their homes
stood.
Business men of Kemp City
say that in all probability the
town will not be rebuilt.

PROHIBITION LAW
IS BEING ENFORCED
Has Proven Wholesome Law
And No Effort Will be Made
Toward Its Repeal.
_J^ittle Rock, May 23.—The
State-W ide Prohibition Law is
being enforced. It has been
demonstrated (hat it truly pro
hibits, notwithstanding the
doubts that had been expressed
by its opponents.
Liquor is still being drunk
in the state, but it is shipped
in by freight and express. The
law does not appear to reach
that particular condition, but
it is predicted that among the
laws first to be introduced will
be measures to regulate the
shipment and delivery of intox
icants into the state.
Little Rock and a few other
places ar*.* considering the
question of placing a tax upon
liquor shipments.following the
example set by Birmingham.
It is predicted that it would
produce a very considerable
revenue. that would in a meas
ure off-set the loss due to the
withdrawal of the saloon li
cense. Up to the present time,
however, this has been only
speculative, and no city has
undertaken to pass an ordin
ance.
An outstanding feature of
the Prohibition law. however
is the fact that it is being en
forced. The Legislature has
clearly declared that it is a fel
ony to sell or give away liquor.

DIXIE CANNER COMPANY, - - Box 429, Little Rock, Ark
and the Supreme Court has
held that the law means just
what it says. There have been
numerous convictions of boot
legging in Garland, Craighead,
Jefferson, Greene, Miller, Pike
and other counties, and the
sentence is one year in each
case. The court has no discre
tion, unless it is to assess a
longer term. The law makes
one year the minimum. At
Jonesboro nine men were sen
tenced to a year in the peniten
tiary, at one time, and some
prominent club men have been
given the limit at Hot Springs.
There have been a number of
indictments in Pulaski and oth
er counties, and it is expected
that the business of boot-leg
ging will be madesounpopular
that fewer will engage in it.
1 he records at the state pen
itentiary show that about sev
enty convicts have been receiv
ed already, each with a one
vear sentence for the illegal
sale of liquor. Nearly fifty of
these have been received dur
ing the last thirty days. Fully
three-fourths of them are ne
groes.
Circuit judges everywhere
are instructing juries to see
that the law is rigidly enforced
and it has become as danger
ous to sell whiskey or beer sur
reptitiously. in violation of the
state law. as it has been for
several years to violate the fed
eral law by selling without a
government license.
The Supreme Court finds
that the state-wide law repeals
all previous laws providing for
the punishment of liquor-sell
ing as a misdemeanor. It is al
so ruled that the former laws
providing lines for soliciting
i liquor orders, advertising li
quors in certain counties, and
| similar acts, are not repealed
I by the new law, and the pen
alties prescribed by the old
laws still obtain.In other words
all the prohibitory laws are to
I be construed as cumulative,
I with the heaviest penalties.that
they may be made the most
drastic possible.
The boot-legger and the
blind-tiger is having a rocky
i road to travel, and is awaken
ing to a realization of the fact
| that the courts mean business.
i he time for dallying with the
i gentry has passed.
There is no more agitation
of the question of repealing
the state-wide act. For some
time, it seemed probable that
a repeal measure would be in
itiated, but that seems to have
subsided. It was receiving very
little popular support. Former
leaders in the liquor fights that
kept the state in a turmoil for
years have embarked in other
lines of business. Merchants
and business men who former
ly opposed prohibition on the
theory that “it would hurt busi
ness’” are now convinced of
their error and are willing that
conditions should continue as
they are. Business conditions
have improved. Debts are be
ing paid. Those engaged in the
saloon business as proprietor
or employe are finding more
congenial employment else
where. In fact, there are very
few who would really like to
return to the old conditions.
Even the revenue question is
being settled by the discovery
of other sources or revenue.

SWAT THE WEEDS
The weeds on Arkansas
farms cost the farmers millions
of dollars worth of soil fertil
ity. In Canada they have laws
against letting many weeds go
to seed. The list of bad weeds
is so great that the farmer, to
be safe,has to swat every weed
before it drops its seed. Why
not form the habit of killing
weeds before the seed ripen?
Teach the boys and girls the
cost of weeds. Do not wait un
til August to cut weeds but do
it NOW.Weeds along the road
side or in waste patches may
seed all the farms in the neigh
borhood.
TICK ERADICATION
The finest thing in Arkan
sas today is the fine spirit of
cooperation in the building of
dipping vats and in dipping
cattle. The counties that are
not in the “eradication dis
trict.” are building about as
many vats as those that get the
medicine free. Now, if every
body will keep in good humor
and dip cattle regularly we can
have the whole state free in
two years and then we will
have the greatest livestock state
in the country. Let us do this
without the aid of law enforce
ment. Let everybody do it be
cause it will help the neighbor
hood feeling.

ENCOURAGE CLUB
MEMBERS
Almost TEN THOUSAND
Arkansas boys and girls are this
year enrolled in one or other
cdub or contest with the Exten
sion Division of the Arkansas
[College of Agriculture and U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
This is fine. It is a great educa
tional movement. The special
ists in charge of the work are
working hard to keep up the
interest and keep the boys and
girls in the work until the end
but they need assistance of the
parents, the bankers, the edi
tors, the women’s clubs, the
hardware men and everybody.
Let everybody who care for the
education of the boys and girls
lend a word of encouragement
right now and all through the
summer. If these boys and girls
can be held to the end and if
they will read all the letters
and bulletins sent them, it will
be worth much in education
and in the building of charac
ter. Let everybody do a little
personal work and help the
county agents.
CRIMSON CLOVER
Arkansas farmers will plant
more peas, beans and peanuts
in corn this year than ever be
fore. So much for enrichingthe
corn ground and getting feed
for pigs and cows. Next we
must push for crimson clover
in the cotton fields. Let every
farmer in Arkansas sethismind
on five or more acres of crim
son clover this year or at least
one-fourth of this entire cotton
acreage. Then it will pay to
sow rye or oats in all the rest
ot the cotton acres for a winter
crop. Fifty-nine of the best
county agricultural agents in
America are working in Ark
ansas for winter cover crops
and double crops, peas, beans
and peanuts in corn anti crim
son clover and rye or oats in
the cotton and no bare fields
next winter.
WHAT AFTER WHEAT?
Every man who grows wheat
or oats in Arkansas wants to
have peas, or early soybeans,
or one of these crops with sor
ghum on the land after the
grain crop is taken off. Rut

many an acre grows up in
weeds because of failure to
get these crops in. Why? By
harvesting time the wheat or
oats land has been tightly pack
ed by the winter and spring
rains. Much moisture is requir
ed to mature the grain crop!
and the soil therefore is usually
quite hard even when the grain
is cut. As soon as the protec
tive crop is taken off the soil
dries very rapidly and is soon
too hard to plow.
REMEDY: At that time of
harvesting set shocks in rows
and have the disk harrow fol
low right behind the shockers
' that day if possible or not lat
er than the next day. The har
row breaks the surface crust,
stops the rapid drying out,
causes the moisture coming from
below to stop near the surface,
and results in softening the
land, which in a few days time
or as soon as the shocks can be
hauled out will be in good con
dition for breaking or disking
again. Seed to cowpeas orearly
soybeans, or either of these and
sorghum. Don’t wait for rain
which may come too late.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
28,000,000 BUSHELS SHORT
Topka, Kan., May 22.—A
prospective yield of 108,000,
000 bushels of winter wheat in
Kansas this year was forecast
ed in a report covering condi
tions up to May 17, which was
issued today by J. C. Mohler,
secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture. Compared with a
similar report issued at this
time last year, a depreciation
of 28,000,000 is shown. The
board’s report for April of this
year predicted a yield of 126,
000,000 bushels. The deprecia
tion is attributed to Hessian fly
and dry weather.
