The only worthy knocker is the knocker that knocks the knocker. Now, nearly a year after the European conflict, it is not sur prising to learn that Warsaw saw war. How did our first visit suit you? If you were impressed favorably, tell your neighbor: if not. forget it. It appears that Mexico will not “be good” without a spanking, and Uncle Sam will soon com mence operations, it appears. During the nine months end ing May 1915, 228,522 head of horses and 48,578 mules were shipped from the United States to Europe. ** Did you ever stop to think about how many more opportuni ties a person has to spend a nickel these days than he had thirty years ago? Chicot County has again cap tured the “First Bale” premium — making two years in succes sion. This years bale was grown near Lake Villiage, and was marketed Tuesday. At the commencement of the Wilson administration some Re publican papers intimated that the success of the Democratic party in 191b depended upon the race between Hard Times and Prosperity. As we enter into the last lap. Prosperity has a decided lead, and judging from the fatigued appearance of Hard Times, will be an easy winner. Publicity is the best way to tight the mail order house, Mr. Merchant. Make inducements for people to trade with you, and they will quickly take ad vantage. The mail order house uses that system with expensive catalogs, etc; local merchants have at their command a much less expensive system the news papers. Merchants that adver tise judicially and systematically find that it pays large returns. | as at the thrifty home the store | news is always looked forward j to with interest Bryan s Willful Corpse “The late Mr. Bryan,” says an eastern newspaper in a head line, assuming that the late Mr. Bryan is politically dead. Well, mebbe so. He has made his mistakes and has in fact gone to the boneyard. But we can’t help remembering at least six separate occasions during the past twenty years when Bryan “killed himself politically.” | And since he was first killed politically in 189(1, he has headed | the party ticket for president twice and dictated the nominee. We never heard of such an orn ery corpse as Bill's corpse. It refuses to stay dead. Southwest American. Hogs Dying From Chol era Should Be Burned “Some complaints have reached this office stating that hog chol era was being spread from one farm to snother by buzzards” said C. L McArthur assistant professor of veterinary science in the College of Agriculture, rayetteviue. inese large niras can carry hog cholera upon their feet very easily. When dead hogs are not disposed of at once they soon attract buzzards and in devouring the dead animal, the feet of the birds become covered with cholera infection. From this spot the buzzards fly to other hog pens in the neigh j borhood, sometimes as much as 110 or 15 miles away. Wherever the birds alight, the germs of cholera are left, and in this way cholera often starts in a neigh borhood where hitherto it has been unknown. All of this, how ever. does not mean that the buzzard should be killed, as this bird is both useful and neces sary. What it does mean, how ever, is this that farmers, los ing animals from hog cholera or other infectious disease, should dispose of these animals by burn ing promptly. Burying will do if it is not possible to burn them, but burning is the much better plan. By saturating the body with coai oil and starting a fire directly under it, a body can be burned with much less trouble than it can be buried.

Election Law Muddle The elction law passed by the last legislature, consolidating state and federal elections, makes it necessary for circuit court judges, chancellors, and members of the Arkansas su preme court, whose terms ex pire previous to November, 1!)LS, and who are candidates for re election, to be candidates at the next judicial elections, according to an opinion handed down by W. L. Moose, attorney general. In other words it will be necess ary for candidates to be nominat ed nearly three years before they can take office. In addi tion, the change in time of hold ing the election from September to November will create a vacan cy, at least in the circuit judge ship during this period of two months. This vacancy, how ever, can be tilled by appoint ment by the governor, it is un derstood. The attorney gener al’s construction affects Circuit Judge James Cochran and Chan cellor W. A. Falconer of this city. “On the next Tuesday after the hrst Monday. November. 1916, and every two years there after, there shall be held an election in each precinct and ward of this state for the elec tion of all elective state, county, and township officers whose terms of office are fixed by the constitution at two years,” the law says, “and state senators in their respective districts when the terms for which senators shall have been elected shall ex pire before the next general election: and far judges of the supreme and the circuit courts when the term of office of any judge shall expire before the next general election: and for United States senators and re presentatives in congress of the United States for each congress ional distrtct; and for prosecut ing attorney.” Chancellors are elected for six years and circuit court judges for four years. The greater number of circuit judges were qualified in 1914, and most of the chancellors in 1916. On these officials will fall the bur den of again being candidates in the next primary and next elec tion, if they wish to retain their offices. TV, Li noti' Inti' will nnt motori'il. ly affect officers whose terms are fixed by the constitution at two years, since it is provided that they shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified; the principle effect upon them will be that these now serving will have from one to two months longer term than that for which they were elect ed. Heretofore all have been elect ed in September and qualified Oct. 31. Hereafter they will be elected in November, and it will be 30 days before all returns can be canvassed and the successful candidates certified. In this particular, the law is defective in that it makes no specific time for newly elected officers to to qualify. The new law provides that if “the terms of office of anv judge shall expire before the next gen eral election,” he shall run in the preceding election, which in this instance will be in 1916. Thus a judge or chancellor nomi nated next spring and elected next November, will take his office about Jan. 1, 1919, three years after he has made his race. In all probability the law will get before the supreme court for interpretation before the next legislature meets. It could be attacked if some officials refuse to put the offices in uuestson on the ballots, or if a new judge is elected and the judge now ih office refuses to surrender his office. When the next legislature meets it no doubt will be pre sented with a measure seeking to remedy the present statute. The law also will be attacked by a repeal measure drawn by mem bers of the legislature from the counties having large negro votes. Wants Damages. E. Butts, by his attorneys, Benson. Bartain, and .1. H. Evans, has tiled suit in the Ozark division of the Franklin county circuit court, against E. E. New man. and the Arkansas Traffic Bureau, a partnership composed of R. M. Bronson and W. H.
