GRIFFIN CONFIRMS CANDIDACY
Conway Man to be in Race for
 Congress.
Former Secretary of Farmers Union Say: "0thers Might as well Get
 Out of Race"

Little Rock, Feb. 10 Special - "I m not only running" said Ben L. Griffin, while in the city yester- day afternoon, but the others might as we'll get out of the race, for l have them beaten at the end of every turn row. I am running for congress whether have an- nounced or not " In this manner Ben L. Griffin for tue first time verified the many reports that he is to become a candidate for con- gress from the filth congressional district. So far, two others have signi6ed their intentions of making the race for congress from this dis trict, 0. C. Ludwig, the present secretary of state, and H. M. Jaco- way, form erly prosecuting attorney in the fifth judicial district.
 MT. Griffin, who is at the pres ent working in the interests of the Farmers Union Warehous depart ment, states that the prospects for this year are brighter than ever for the farmers of Arkansas, for they are going to stick by the de- termination to cut down the cotton acreage by increasing the food crops. Speaking of the syndicates undertaking to purchase lands for systematic cotton raising in Arkan- ass, MT. Griffin says agents have been in the state for two years, picking out the best lands for this purpose and purchasing large tracts wherever it is possible to do so. He says this Is the greatest evil the farmer has to fight now.

WANT REPEAL
 OF NEW LAW

Little Rock, Feb. 10 Special Quietly going about his work, D.. +. King the industrial agent of the Iron Mountain is travelling about this section of the state working up sentiment against the seml-month ly pay day bill for the corporations and will endeavor to have 1t re- paaled before the end of the legisla- ture. He says he has understood the bill was advocated by the working men, but he has since failed to find what element. He had long talk with Ben l.. Grlf- fin of the Farmers Union yesterday afternoon and was assured that the farmers had taken no hand in the legislation,
 Industrial agent King says that Arkansas has been blowing at John D. Rockefeller for the past few years without knowing the great work he is doing for the state. He says the 500, 900 sup piled annually to Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas from New York for experimental farm work comes direct from the purse of the Standard Oil magnate, and there is more coming from the same source if needed. Mir. King says the railroads now have to give all their support to to this experiment tai work, as the exhibit car can no longer be carried when the com merce laws will not permit the cars going from state to state.

 So it will be when you go to sell your land. Unless you can use a stronger word than the word "think' your assur- ance will be weak indeed. You must be able to say "I know the title is good, and here is the ab- stract that you may know 1t too.N

Thoroughly Prepare Their Land

Thoroughly Prepare Their Land as soon as possible. Do not wait for our special agent to call on you, but select your land, loca ting it in as public place as possible and get it ready.
 Break litt.e deeper than usual but do not turn the under soil to the top. If your soil is very thin run two blows, one the usual depth, and then follow in the same furrow with subsoil plow-scoot CT or bull tongue.
 "If you have not already en- rolled your name as co-operator, do 1t now.
 We want every farmer in the county if possible to try at least an acre or two under the department instructions.
 Simply send ill your name and address to w. J. Apple, Conway, Ark so that bulletins can be sent you, and state the number of acres of corn or cotton, or both, that you will cultivate according to the gov ernment plan.
 "The bulletin on home made fertilizers may alone be worth many dollars to you.
 "The local agent will visit you soon and instructions for planting and cultivating will be given i'll proper time. The thing to do now is to prepare your land.
 Get Good Seed
 if possible to plant your demonstra tion farms.
 "Triumph cotton will give you good results, but whatever variety you intend to plant get the best seed that can be obtained. If enough farmers want triumph seed 1 am sure the merchants of Con way will handle d car at just about actual cost.
 "Help us to interest other farm CTS and get them to try few acres Let every demonstrat0r and CO operator take pride in the work he has undertaken and try to make the most of it.
 "The demonstration are meant as examples to other farmers, so that you are in a sense conducting a public exhibition The instruc- tions you will receive go not cnly to better tillage and seed, but also to the enrichment and building up of your soil. "
 Enthusiastic For Corn Clubs.
 MT. Evans is enthusiastically ill favor of the boys corn clubs, which are being organized through out the state. The idea of the clubs is his, and was introduced at the annual meeting of the State Teachers Association last Decem- Der. Let every farmer who has boy" said Mir. Evans, "give him a piece ot ground and tell him he can have for his own all the corn he can grow on it. Have him send his name, age and ad- dress to G. l.. Banner, Conway, or T. F. Forrest, Vilonia, and join the boys corn club. He may win a good prize, and if he doesn't it will be fine school for him. Do it nowl"

Third Ward Alderman to Fill B.
 T. Bulllon's Place.
Council Adopts Resolution Declaring Skat- ing Rink Nuisance--Other
 Proceedings.

Proceedings.
 President Stonewall Anderson of Hendrix College was last night elected alderman of the third ward to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Bruce T. Bullion, which was just previously rendered. President Anderson was nominated by Alderman w. w. Martin and received the votes of Aldermen Martin and Holman and Mayor Witt. Wellington Robbins, who served as alderman of the third ward two years ago, was nominat- ed by Alderman McCulloch and received the votes of Aldermen McCulloch and Newborn. Alder man Scnwarz was absent from the meeting.
 MT. Bullion resigns the position which he has held for nearly four years on account of having accept ed the office of private secretary to Governor Donaghey and adjutant general of the state guard. His resignation was addressed to Mayor Witt and was rendered to the Coun- cil last night.
 Although the question was not raised last night, it is being claim ed by some this morning that neither one of those nominated for alderman received enough votes for an election. The resignation of MT. Bullion leaves six members ot the council, the mayor and five aldermen, and it is stated that a majority of the council, or four votes, would be necessary to an election. Whether any steps will be taken to contest the election, however, could not be learned to- day.
 Skating Rink Nuisance.
 By a unanimous vote the Coun- cil adopted a resolution declaring the skating rink now operated on North Front street nuisance. A petition signed by AS citizens ask ing that this action be taken was presented and Dr, J. E. Godbey ol the chair of philosophy in Hendrix College urged the abatement of the rink on the ground that 1t interfer- with the discipline among the stu dents and kept them from thell studies.
 A new board of health was elect ed by the council, the terms of the board having expired. Doctors c D. Dickerson and J. $. Westerhelc were reelected and Dr. J. F. Browr was elected in place of Dr. Georg< s. Brown, who declined to accep a reelection. The ex-officio mem bers of the board are the mayor and chairman of the judiciary com mittee. The mayor appointed l. ( Holman to the latter position which was formerly held by Alder man Bullion,
 A petition from the Conway Shakespeare club asking that the streets be kept cleaner was referred to the street committee with power to act.
