how the farmers were diyersifving

There is an old adage which
runs. Necessity is the mother
of invention" There should be
another one to balance it. "Com-
petition is the father Of improve
ment.p That this later sentence
|
is as worthy of becoming an adj
age is evidenced daily in every
walk of life. Take for instance
one Of the largest manufacturing
and artistic interests Of the world.
The manufacture Of pianos and
organs. What but competition
could have brought the different
improvements in that wonderful
and delightful instrument-the
piana from it's crude state as made
in the time of Beethoven, and call
ed spinet, up to the standard
of excellence, beauty Of tone, ar
tistlc design and perfect mechan-
ism as found in the magnificent
Kimball piano of the present day.
Has not each manufacturer used
what was good Of his competitors,
and improved upon it himself and
thereby surprising his brother in
trade? So it has been with the
great house of Kimball. They
have made artistic improvements
to such an extent that the greatest
artists of the present day use and
endorse the Kimball pianos.
The Hollenberg Music Co., Of
Little Rock are the factory ware
rooms in Arkansas for them and
the prices are the same as at the

oomMANDEH soBEAL,s OPINION.
Says This Country Does Not Want War;
 Attacks House of Representatives.

Madrid, March 15.-Lieutenant Com mander Sobral, the former naval at tache of the Spanish legation at Wash ington, in an interview at Barcelona on his arrival there, is quoted as saying that he is convinced that President Mckinley, who is correct president, and the government of the United States do not wish for war, and will resist to the utmost the intrigues of the war party" Continuing, Lieuten- ant Commander Sobral further re- marked: Thoughtful Americans also oppose war, which is solely desired by the adventurers and agitators who compose the jingo party. The major ity of the house of representatives is composed of men without prestige and of little education who regard politics as a trade and who would have already voted the jingo proposals if they had not encountered the strength of char acter of President Mckinley, whose au- thority is dictatorial. The serious opin- ion of the country, composed of busi- ness men, dreads war with Spain, as shown by the fact that the new Span- lsH squduroH Has Haruly Stdrteu Iof American waters when a panic seized all commercial and industrial centers. The jingo campaign is fomented chiefly by two American daily newspapers, whose insolent language is a positive shame to Americans. It is evident that the United States intends that Spain shall be the actual declarer of war" Lieutenant Commander Sobral added: Eff the Spanish government decides to issue a national loan to build squad ron the patriotism of the Spaniards re- siding in America will impel them to subscribe third of the amount and they will give their money without re- gard to the issue price, and without considering the conditions of the loan."

PAYMASTER BILLINGS RETIRED. His Case Has Troubled Navy Department
 for Some Time.


 Washington, March 15.-The case of Pay Director Luther G. Billings, which has been troubling the secretary of the navy for some time, was settled to- day by the issue of an order placing that officer on the retired list. MT. Billings was convicted by court mar tial upon certain charges and was sen- fenced to dismissal from the service. His attorneys endeavored to have the finding set aside on the ground that it was unjust. The secretary was so inn pressed with their arguments that he proposed to compromise with MT. Bill ings by permitting him to retire in- stead of being dismissed. The officer rejected this proposition, however, con- tending that if guilty he should be punished that if innocent, as he claim ed to be, justice required that the last trace of guilt should be removed from his record. The proposition of the de- rartment was that the officer should apply for retirement, which he was en- titled to do under the law, but as he refused to follow this suggestion lAe SecreIdTy ofueTeu HlIll peLoIe d Ld- val examining board to determine his mental and physical capacity for active service. The board reported that he was eligible for retirement under the law and the secretary to-day directed the transfer of his name to the retired list. Although this action does not in itself prevent the execution of the sen- tence it is generally understood that no further action will be taken.
