−	The '''Arkansas State Liquor Law of 1917''', commonly called the '''"Bone Dry" Liquor Law of 1917''', passed in January 1917 and outlawed "the transportation, delivery, and storage of liquor, excepting only alcohols used for scientific, religious, and medical purposes." The "Bone Dry" Law finally finished off "wet" supporters in Arkansas by attempting to completely eliminate alcohol sales in the state. The only victory left for them to claim was a Supreme Court decision that the "Bone Dry" Law did not prevent individuals from crossing into the state with alcohol. The full intention of the "Bone Dry" Liquor Law of 1917 came to a climax in 1919 when Arkansas ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, making the sale of alcohol illegal in the entire United States.

	The "Bone Dry" law followed on the heels of several other laws. While part of the Confederacy, Arkansas banned the use of corn to make whiskey in order to guarantee supplies of the grain for the Army. An 1885 law closed saloons on Sundays, and 1899 law outlawed the sale of alcohol from one private citizen to another. Many counties by 1900 had already made themselves "[[dry counties\|dry]]." The [[Arkansas Liquor Law of 1913]] made the entire state officially dry, though anti-prohibitionists claimed a small victory in that the act allowed saloons and bars to petition county courts for licenses, much like Arkansas bars and clubs do today. The [[Newberry Act of 1915]] outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcohol within state borders.		The "Bone Dry" law followed on the heels of several other laws.
