the act, if it be held unconstitu
tional, all this work and expense
will result in nothing. In view
of the fact that the attorney
general has already held it un
constitutional, I deem it expedi
i ent that the question of its con
I stitutionality be decided as soon
jas possible- I decided to hold
.said act unconstitutional in or
der that the question might go
| immediately to the supreme
| court, and there be settled at
. once.
| “If I held the act constitu
tional it would not have this ef
fect, for the circuit court would
then have to proceed leaving the
question unsettled. If the Go
ing act is unconstitutional the
county judge of Pulaski county
did only what he was authorized
under the law to do, as the vote j
in Pulaski county was for li-!
cense.
| “The supreme court agrees to
hear this question immediately
so this action upon my part will
involve but little if any delay.
The attorneys for the prohibi
I tionists ana the liquor men have
j no objection to this proceeding,
| as they realize it is important
I to settle, as quickly as possible,
i the constitutionality of this
act.”
Warning to Motor Boats.
The federal law relating to
motor boats is to be rigidly en
forced and the owners of such
boats on White River are warn
ed to acquaint themselves with
its provisions and equip their
boats as directed.
! This state has been transferr
ed to the jurisdiction of the
Collector of Customs, St. Louis,
and T. W. Mabrey, special depu
ty collector, writes the Inde
pendent to kindly forewarn our
motor boat men.
i I
The principal features of the j
law are: A life preserver for
each person aboard; proper
lights if running at night;
.means of extinguishing burning
gasoline; a whistle or foghorn,
and, if carrying passengers for
j hire, the boat must be in charge
of a licensed operator.

Final Day Of
Farm School
Brought Large Attendance And
The Enrollment Reached
231.
The last day of the Farm
school was well attended and the
farmers were very much inter
ested and asked many questions
about the different subjects.
The enrollment at the school |
was 231.
At 8:30 Prof. Wheelock dis-j
cussed Live Stock as a factor in !
constructive agriculture and j
showed that no farm is complete
that has not plenty of live stock 1
and pastures. He gave some fig
ures to show the values of dif
ferent farm crops when fed to
live stock.
At 9:30 Dr, Gow talked on the I
common diseases of the horse
and house. These diseases
might be known and treated and
all who heard this seemed very
much interested
At 10:30 Prof. Truax talked
about the growing of Irish Po
tatoes and explained the differ
ent diseases and their treat
ment. Said we should be very
rtoMA-ful n V* aii4- o* nm

grown seed potatoes.
At 1 p. m. Prof. Wheelock
took up the subject of Silos and
explained how to build them,
the approximate cost etc., also
the cost per ton of the silage.
He then gave some very inter
esting figures on the value of
other feeds, and said that it was
the very cheapest feed the far
mer could get and that no far
mer ought to be without a silo.
Mr. D. C. Welty, agricultural
commissioner for the Iron Moun
tain road then made a very in
teresting talk on the growing
raid feeding of beef cattle and
gave some figures to show that
there is money to be made in
the beef cattle business if done
in the right way. Said that all j
the feed should be grown at
home, and he also stressed the
need of the silo, and said that it j
was the cheapest means of sav
ing feed for cattle
The following resolutions were
then read by Mr. Gustave Jones
and unanimously adopted.
Resolved, that the citizens of
Newport and Jackson County,
Arkansas, and those in attend
ance upon the lectures at the
farm school held the past week,
hereby tender their thanks to
the President of the University
AvironcQa .T C. Fnt.rell. and to
the Dean of the College of Agri
culture of Arkansas, Martin
Nelson, and to his staff, Prof.
Lassetter, Prof. Truax, Prof.
Becker, Prof. Wheelock, Dr.
Cow, Mr. C. W- Watson, state
agent of the government demon
stration work, Mr. D. C- Welty
and his assistant, Mr. C. 0. Car
penter of the Iron Mountain,
the instructors, and hereby ex
press to them our heartiest ap
preciation for the great good
they have accomplished by their
instruction in the work of the
school.
Resolved further, that we be
lieve that this, being the first:
farm school held in Jackson;
County, is like good seed sown ;
in good ground and will bring I
an abundant harvest.
Resolved further that it is
our desire and we hereby invite
them to make it a permanent
institution in connection with
the work of the University.
Resolved further, that we ex
tend our thanks to Mr. J. P
Hearst, the Farm Demonstrator,
I
through whose efforts it was
possible that this session of the
farm school of Jackson county
was held.
Resolved further, that we urge
upon the representative of this
county to the next Legislature
and to the Senator from this
district to earnestly support and
vote for liberal appropriations
for the maintainance of the Uni
versity in all its branches.
Savage and Tiger.
The general public has no
conception of the immense cost
of producing a photo drama
spectacle- In George Kleine’s
latest success, “Between Savage
and Tiger,” a small fortune was
spent on animals alone. Three
Bengal tigers, a doe and a water
buffalo are shot to death; a
huge ship is completely destroy
ed by fire, and a number of ele
phants and horses are used in
the production. All these cost
jarge sums of money, to say no
thing of the salaries of the ac
tors and the terrific expense en
tailed in getting the correct
scenic environment. This thrill
ing story of the jungle, in which
love and heroism are potent fac
tors, will be seen here for the
first time at the Palace Theatre
Tuesday night. Owing to the
University Glee Club having a
date at the opera house on the
same night we will give a mat
inee at four p. m. on the same
day to those who wish to attend
the Glee Club at night, an oppor
tunity to see this wonderful pic
ture.
Matinee at 4 p. m. and regular
performance at 7 p. m. Admis
sion 10 and 20 cents. George
Kleine’s jungle story, a new dra
ma which thrills for young and
old, this picture goes a step
further than the usual jungle
picture—it not only shows the i
animals and terrors of the jun- j
gle, but also relates an absorb
ing story of love and heroism
that enlists your interest in the i
beginning and holds it fast un
til the very last picture fades
upon the screen.
Tuckerman Ready For A Game.
Special to Independent.
Tuckerman, March 9.— The
people interested in baseball ir
Tuckerman, met Friday night,
February 27th, and organized a
ball club, and elected the follow
ing officers: Qtis Armstrong,
president; Albert Coe, vice pres
ident ; Bryan Parrott, secretary;
Ralph Smith, treasurer; Judge
C. B. Coe. manager; Walter Coe,
captain; Henry Shetters, coach.
The business people of Tuck
trman are interested in ball
playing and think that the boys
and young men of this town are
qualified to play any team in the
surrounding community. They
expect to win the pennant in
Jackson county.
To any team in Arkansas that
wishes to play against the Tuck
efman boys, they wall come to
j our grounds or you can come to
theirs; that is, if the right ar
rangements can be made- They
have somie of the best men in
town behind them and in
tend to play everybody a clean,
fair game of ball.
Burton Arnold Stricken.
Batesville, March 9—Tax
Collector Burton Arnold, who
several days ago suffered an at
tack of paralysis, is at his home
in West Batesville. This is the
second attack suffered by Mr.
Arnold and has made him un
able to meet the voters of the
county in his present race for
collector.
