Our Meat Supply.
There are a great many very
able and scientific minds engag
ed at the present time in dis
cussing the problem of our meat
supply, and endeavoring to show
us just what is the matter and
just how to remedy it. Some
claim that we are not raising
enough cattle, and others claim
that we consume double the
amount of meat that is good for
us. If we adopt even in a meas
urable degree both of these prop
ositions we will soon emerge
from the tangle. There will be j
a good deal of meat imported in
to this country, and the secreta-;
ry of agriculture has issued rules
and regulations governing this
product, in an explanation of the
tariff bill recently adopted. Beef
imported into this country must
bear with it foreign certifications
as to ante mortem and post mor
tem inspections, in countries in
which the animals are slaughter
ed. In addition to this meats
will be inspected by the depart
ment of agriculture at ports of
entry before admission. The reg
ulations also place foreign meats
after entry into the United
States on the same basis as do
mestic meats. This is a radical
change from what has hitherto
been the policy of the govern
ment. Heretofore imported
meats have been governed entire
ly by the food and drugs act,and
have been excluded from the es
tablishments under the inspec
tion of the bureau of animal in
dustry, under the meat inspec
tion act. Under the new law,
imported meats will be admitted
to the government inspected es
tablishments, and will be sub
jected to the same scrutiny as
domestic meats. The general
rule is that no meats that are
diseased, that contain harmful
dyes, chemicals, preservatives or
other ingredients which render
such meats unfit for human food,
will be admitted. In other words,
the producers and packers of do
mestic meats will be placed on
the same basis as the producers
and packers of foreign meats im
ported to this country. It all
means that the public is to be
protected against unwholesome
food, and that in the future we
will have no more wholesale epi
demics and harvests of death as
we have had in the past as a re
sult of imposing poisonous foods
upon the public. — Memphis

Want Men For Army.
Texarkana, Oct. 20.—Informa
tion was received here today
from sources considered entire
ly reliable that Uncle Sam is
calling upon his numerous re
cruiting officers throughout the
country to use every menas pos
sible to secure an increase in the
number of recruits for the stand
ing army, as possible, which is
taken to mean that there will be
something doing along the Mexi
can border about the twenty
sixth of this month, when the
Mexican election is supposed to
be held.___

Judge Lankford Opens < ourt At
Batesville.
Batesville, Oct. 20. —Judge
Eugene Lankford presiding, the
Independence county circuit
court was opened this morning.
The court was opened with pray
er by Rev- T- Y. Ramsey. It is
an innovation recently introduc
ed by Judge Lankford and where
he has held courts he has a
jdopted the plan to always have
! the proceedings opened with
prayer.
The charge. Judge Lankford
made to the jury was clear and
lucid, one that made an impres
sion on the people who heard it.
He outlined the duty of the
grand jury in a clear and con
cise manner, and urged them to
make full investigation in every
case that might be presented to
them.
Judge Jeffery is here also and
occupied the bench with Judge
Lankford. One point made in the
charge of Judge Lankford was
that care should be exercised in
indicting men, and particularly^
young men, because, he said, it
w'as often better to be merciful
and the intent of the violator of
the law might often be worth
considering.
Porsecuting Attorney C. M?
Erwin is here to look after the
prosecutions for the state.
Alleged Bank Robbers Arrested.
Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 20.—In
the arrest of five men at Morris

have five of the six robbers who
robbed banks at Dardanelle and
Fulton, Arkansas, September
30 and October 2. Jinks and
William Starling, brothers, sons
of a Coweta, Oklahoma, minis
ter, and Clad Burton were ar
rested at Morris Sunday in a res
taurant which they had pur
chased, and George B. Thomp
son and Richard Reynolds are in
jail at Tulsa on a minor charge.
The Starling brothers and
Burton were taken from here to
McAlester this morning to a
wait extradition proceedings
The suspected men were arrest
ed after a clue furnished by a
wound in Starling’s hand had
been investigated by the officers.
BELIEVE FIVE ARE YEGGS.
Dardanelle, Oct. 20.—deputy
Sheriffs Joe Gault and J. L.
Carpenter have gone to Tulsa,
Oklahoma, after the five youths
held there on suspicion of having
robbed the bank here.
A message from one of the
officers says it is practically cer
tain that the arrested youths
are the ones who perpetrated the
robbery here. According to
the message, a friend of the ar
rested youths has confessed that
they sought to induce him to
join with them in a series of
bank robberies in Arkansas. He
refused, it is said, but when he
fell under suspicion and the of
ficers questioned him, he is said
to have confessed
