l.mity to Arkansas at this time is
■ confined to Le Flore county. In

authorities would requin* 1
■JI citizens leaving Le Flore coun-!
«y to present a certificate of recent'

Such an order. The railroads all

BF ' will very soon be eradicated
B(”n that city. the moat severe
’’nt at this time.
D i would recommend th'it you. as
j f unty Health Officer, publish a
that all citizens comming
■hto your- county from Le Flore
county, Oklahoma, without a cer
tiheate of recent vaccinnt’on will
either be subject to immediate
woccination or placed under quar
antine for a period of fourteen
days.
This, in my judgment, will ren
DE QUEEN BEE
der all the safeguards necessary
jat the present time. Any attempt
on the part of officials of Sevier
county to enforce a blanket quar-j
| untine against the citizens of Le‘
’Flore county would entail a con ’
iSiderable cost and necessitate
complete inspection of all trains
coming into De Queen, requiring!
| the conductors to furnish informa
.tion as to point of entrainment of,
jail persons desiring to detrain at
| De Queen. Previous experience'
has shown this to be quite cum--
(bersonie and causing great incon
j venience to many innocent
I travelers and entailing great ex
pense to tiie community attempt
ing to enforce such an order. 1
I would further recommend that
all citizens of your county be vac
cinated as an added precaution,
as persons exposed to smallpox in j
any other section of the country
max come through clrcultious
routes, develop smallpox and ex
pose many citizens. I would fur
ther suggest that you call on your
County Superintendent of Educa
tion to give you an early report on
all schools now in session in your
county as to whether or not the
teachers, employees and pupils
have all complied with the state
law. Any school not having com
plied with this law should be
visited immediately and proper
.steps taken to enforce same. En- !
| closed is a copy of said law show
ng the Supreme Court approval.
INo school should bo dismissed on
account of . mallpox as vaccina
tion furnishes the only reliable
eans of cuinbattiir: the disease.
Should f inallpo.x occu in any
school vicinity, the children not
having been successfully vae
;ciliated should be revaccinated as
n added precaution.
i J presume you have a sanitary
[code, but we are sending an extra
copy undei separate cover. Sec
i Lions 48-52 will give you the au
thority to enforce measures for the
j protection of your citizen in case
lot smallpox.
; It seems that with the present
day technique in vaccinating, and
j the information at hand as to the
'means 1 of controlling rmallpox,
that no community should issue a
jquarantine against the disease as
every individual can be immunized
and thus protected without caus
ing the local o»* state government
to expend large sums of money
land also without blocking the
(channels of commerce and caus
ing great economic loss to the
community quarantined.
j Keep me posted as to develop-
I merits and let us have your week
l.\ morbidity reports promptly each
week ns it is only by means of
i these reports that we may be ad
p t'rd of any unusual outbreak.
Yours fraternally,
C. W. Garrison,
State Health Officer.

WINGO LEADS FIGHT ~
FOR FARM CREDITS
IhinkM Twenty Million Dollar
Marble Palace for Federal Re

travalance —Money Could Metier
i Be Used in Extending CredHtsi
Washington, D. C., Jan. HL—
ihe Federal Iteuerve Board has
brought upon iLself the bitter eri
of the Democratic member*
of Congress by permitting the
Federal Reserve Bank of New
York to undertake the construc
tion in New York City of a mngni
ficient bank building which, when
completed and furnished, win
cost more than $20,000,000.
Such an enormous expenditure
of money, it is claimed by the
Democrats, is a vicious waste, es
pecially in view of the rrotrictionn
by the Board of Farm Credita,
against which restrictions the
t Democrats have protested fer
i nearly two yeare.
Congressman Otis Wingo, whs
has led the fight in this matter tn
the house, made the following’
statement on the subject:
“Early in 1920 the leaders of
th- Republican Congress started
.. ys! in itic campaign to restrict
th*.- i xtension of credits through
|i> • Federal Reserve System to the
f .in, t:, of the south and west,
b ’der the lead of Congressman
' of Ma: saehuselts, and other
Republican leaders from the north
d east, tho cry of inflation was
vised, and the policy of so-called
u< ilatiun wum started that resulted
so disadriously to the farmers. 1
protested repeatedly against this
viciouw policy, but my protest*
were ignored.
“The fanners of the nation,"
continued Mr. Wingo, “are entitled
under the Federal Reserve Act to
the same credit privileges as
manufacturers and other com
mm ial interests, and 1 shall con
tinue my to see that they
receive these deserved benefits.
“Instead of spreading the*e
' lions on marble palaces, the
fir ds should be used for extend
ing much needed credit to the di*-
tressed agricultural sections of
the country.”
I ’dinner party.’
A charming dinner party waa
given by Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lyon
on Friday. Jan 13.
Polled plants added to the beau
ty of the rooms and fragrant nar
ci. sus centered the tables.
Ai, seven o’clock a most delici
ous course dinner was served. The
j remainder of the evening waa
spent in very informal conversa
tion and story telling.
G’uests of M-. and Mrs.
were Messrs, and Mesdames T. F.
Short, Fred Leeper, T. A. Knight,
H. P. George, C. M. Gore, C. C
Ray, and F. G. Shallenberger.
