The Old Way vs.. the New.
In former days there was no safe
method of ever being sure about
titles to lands.
If you got anxious about your
title you went to the courthouse.
The clerk would make the
search as best he could. He
would take such records as he
might choose and look page by
page for the old deeds to your
land. He could never know when
his task was done. In the end
you got very weak assurance.
Now, it is different.

curate index-that reveals the
true condition of every tract.

 RACE IN PROSPECT
Developments Yesterday Lead to Belief That Both HinemOn and Kavanaueh
 Will Run For Governor.

Little Rock, Dec. D. That both Prof. John H. Hinemon, of Philadelphia, and c. c. Kava. naugh, of Little Rock, now in tend to oppose Governor Geo. w.. Donaghey for re. election and that an announcement to that eff feet may be expected within the next few days, unless one or the other is kept out of the race through disinclination to enter a three-cOrnered contest, was generally believed last night, fol lowing a day of conferences, which gave promise of early de. velopments so far as the guber- material situation is concerned.
 Prof. Hinemon, after a confer ence with friends here, left the impression that he would proba- ply be candidate, although he declined to make a definite an nouncement as to his plans. At the same time developments of the day convinced politicians that Mir. Kavanaugh is also pre- pairing to definitely announce his candidacy for Governor within the next few days. MT. Kava naugh also declined to either con- firm on deny this report

To Govern Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Dec. IA change in the constitution of Arkansas is to be accomplished so that the commission form of government that is being so successfully tried out in other states and cities can be employed in this state, if the movement which has justbeen launched here is carried to the successful continuation which it's friends predict,
 The overthrow of the evil re- suits which admittedly attend the present methods of admins tering municipal affairs and the elimination of graft and misman- agement from civic affairs is the broad aim of the proposed new scheme which Is variously known as the Des Moinse plan and the Houston plan.
 Itis being tried out in scores of cities in the United States and is said to be vast improvement, even in its most objectionable form over present system of gov ernment by mayor and city council. Under the commission plan. the affairs of a municipality are in the hands of a commission one of whom is the administrative and executive head, the others taking charge of various city de partments which are conducted as departments of a huge busi. ness enterprise. Ward politics and It's attendant political Cccu- patton is thus done away with.
 A committee consisting of C.C. oparks, William Michigan, Hugh L, Hail and J. P. Burks has been appointed by the Citizens Im- pavement Union to investig ate the merits and demerits of the prevailing system and to report oack to the Union, which has a strong and effective organization.

Dry Farming May Be Tried Here.

The yield of every arid acre in Nevada and surrounding coun- ties devoted to corn growing can be doubled and the quality of the product greatly improved by applying what is termed dry farming methods.
 There has been some discus sion among Nevada county farmers about the matter re. gently, and it is possible that it will be tried out:
 A prominent farmer said to a reporter for the News to- day that dry farming in Arkan- sas is Rentirely practical and it's principle can be carried out more easily and cheaper than in the arid western states.
 In this contention he says that he was supported by no less than J. A. Wilson, Adjunct Professor of Agricultural Education in the Arkansas College of Agricul- ture, Fayetteville, Ark.
 The principles of dry farming are, CD, preparing the land so 1t will hold moisture, and @, culti- vating in such a way that the moisture will not be lost by evaporation, says Prof. Wilson. We do not need a system like that employed in those arid re gions where the rainfall is not sufficient for a crop each year. There the farmer is forced to prepare his land one year so it will hold water enough for the next years crop.
 !" "This calls for special kinds of tools and much work. But we, by adopting the principles the western farmer uses, can produce good crops in dry year.
 By blowing deep in the spring, when we have plenty of rainfall, we can form a reservoir that will take up most of the rainfall instead of letting it run off and be lost. Then by sur face tillage keep the moisture from being lost by evaporation. To understand how this surface tillage or dust mulch formed by the surface tillage prevents

Oil Excitement.

As if Pike county did not have enough to make it famous as the only place in North America where the genuine African dia- monds are found, oil and gas are, from all opinions of experts in. that line, within her borders. Leases are being made on prop erty adjacent to Murfreesboro, by large concern operating out of Hope, and active work in the way of development is now un- der way. Enough leases have been obtained to warrant work going ahead rapidly.
The Prescott daily news., 1909-12-02

evaporation, one must under stand something about soil mois- ture, especially capillary water Capillary water is held be- tween the soil particles and car ried to the roots by capillary at traction, that is, it rises in the same way that oil rises in a lamp wick. If these small tubes through which the water rises in the soil are not broken, much water will be lost by evapora- tion. But by breaking these tubes near the surface, the water is brought up and held where the roots of plants can get it in stead of going on to the surface and evaporating. Every one has seen how moist it is under a board when picked up off of the ground, while all around it the ground is perfectly dry. This moisture is held by the board while all around evaporation is going on as fast as the water can be raised. A mulch is anything that will hold this moisture, and the dust mulch formed by shal- low tillage is the best for our purpose because it is the easiest made.
 In brief, then, I would say, first break your land deep in the spring; second, blow your corn the first time or time or two fairly deep, thus forcing the roots deeper into the soil third, in the latter part of the season cultivate often and shallow, not over three inches deep, with har-
The Prescott daily news., 1909-12-02

row or spring tooth cultivator, leaving the land level.
 These principles carried out as the above mentioned farmer did, and the crops of Arkansas can be increased many fold. In stead of producing 15 to 20 bushels of corn per acre, we can produce 40 to 100 bushels with the same amount of labor"
