Arkansas needs a constitutional
convention and it wili be regretable
if the present legislature refuses or
neglects to put the machinery in
motion whereby we can get it.
The constitution of Y3 we have
entirely out grown. It is an entire
ly inadequate garment for a pros
perous state of 1.500,000 people.
Influences which haye fought the
calling of a convention no longer
have the same argument to ad
vance and the insistence of the
people should be heeded this time.
Our constitution hampers and re
tards cur growth; we need it en
larged to suit modern conditions.
SlATt S UiOHTS.
Fremont Tribune; The decision
of the United States supreme
court upholding the Webb-Kenyon
l;quor law is another incident show
ing how the wave of sentiment
against liquor is sweeping the
country, and foes of John Barley
corn everywhere will rejoice in this
legal action.
The Webb-Kenyon law was
passed by congress for the purpose
of preventing the shipment of
liquor from wet territory into dry
territory through channels of inter
state commerce. The alleged con
stitutional right to do this has long
been contended and the practice
under it has been the greatest ob
stacle to the enforcement of prohi
bition laws in dry states. The
common carriers have transported
liquor into dry states under the
authority of the federal govern
ment and states that would bar it
out have been unable to do so.
The federal supreme court now
holds that the states have the
authority to legislate in the matter,
and so far as liquor is concerned, if
the states legislate against admis
sion of it from the outside it cannot
be shipped in.
While the tendency of railroad
legislation has in other matters
been toward a centralized federal
control, in this instance the decis
ion appears to have been in the op
posite direction. The court having
a Democratic majority it may be
expected that the rights of the
state will be hereafter more gener
ally regarded than hitherto.
Giant Fingers Bind Cities.
The five giant spans of steel, which,
like gargantuan fingers, clutch the two
sides of Hast river, tdnding New York
and Brooklyn together, cost America’s
metropolis half as much as the Pan
ama canal cost the federal govern
ment. Three of them, says the Na
tional Geographic Magazine, are sus
pended from cables, the wires of
which, If placed end to end, would
more chan twice girdle the earth. If
placed side by side, these five great
structures would provide a roadway
us wide as the Washington monument
is high, and If placed end to end they
would make a great bridge over six
miles long. Across the Brooklyn
bridge alone 125.000 surface cars
travel every 24 hours, with other ve
hicular trallic In proportion.

know that a cough medicine, while palatable, should contain no
drug injurious to the child.
The great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is ex

taste that children like
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
For this reason alone it is a favorite with the mothers of young

The best profit to be obtained
frcm feeding livestock is the
stable manure. With our lands re
sponding as they do to applications
of stable manure the amount saved,
especially when a liberal of bedding
is used, may be equal to the value
of the feeds used; certainly equal
to the manural or fertilizer value of
the feeds used. The stockman
who allows half of this profit to
waste through leaching or through
failure to provide ample bedding is
nelecting to save the only certain
profit from the feeding of livestock.
—The Progressive Farmer.
To save part of the millions of
dollars loss, which Alabama is now
annually suffering in not utilizing
waste material from her lumber,
Howard W. Weiss, director of the
foresu products laboratory of the
United States, has taken steps
looking to the establishment of a
Daper mill in the Tuscaloosa dis
trict. Mr. Weiss after a thorough
investigation is convinced that such
a plant, operated in conjunction
with the big lumber mills, would
prove wonderfully successful.
Several other by-product plants, in
addition to the paper mill, would
also prove profitable, in the opinion
of Mr. Weiss, who has prepared
elaborate data on the subject,
which is available to any one inter
ested.

His Pants Set House Afire.
The other day an Arkansas man
hung a pair of greasy overalls in a
closet of his home. That night his
house caught fire and burned to
the ground. His family escaped
because their dog was a light sleep
er and they managed to save their
night clothes.
It cost him $2,625,82 to find out
that a pair of greasy overalls hang
ing in a closet could ignite by
spontaneous combustion. Thanks
to the country and city newspapers
of Arkansas thousands of people
are reading the fire-prevention
warnings sent out from time to
time by the Arkansas Actuarial bu
reau and there is already an awak
ening as to the ease with which
hundreds of thousands of dollars of
annual fire loss in this state could
be averted, say those who are
spreading the gospel of fire-pre
vention. The call attention to the
fact that the public pays for this
loss, not the insurance companies,
.'he less the fire loss the less the
insuranance rate in a given state.
Large Wooden Vessel.
A small armv of mechanics are

largest ship ever built south of
Newport News, which was recent
ly launched from the ways of the
Slidell Shipbuilding Co., at Slidell.
La., a few miles above New Or
leans. Within thirty days it is ex
pected the Baltic 1 will be towed
across Lake Ponchartrain into the
Mississippi river, ready for an
ocean career.
Three sister ships to the Baltic I
will be completed at Slidell during
the next few months and like the
Baltic will be built largely of South
ern pine.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting na
ture in doing its work. The proprie
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Hall’s Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.
