This is the season Of the year
when all farmers and grain growers
are very busy sowing the seed and
with the beautiful showers and good
rainy weather the fields will soon
be wearing green Then lookout for
that destruction element which pas
SEES over our state and country every
year and each hail storm threshes
out thousands of acres of wheat,
oats, barley and fax. H.
These acres of grain are valuable
every season and especially this
year because the price of seed feed
and labor is all very high.
The question naturally arises in
the rich man who has several humid
red of acres with the exception Of
increasing his bank account this
fall. What protection have we
against this enemy, and to the poor
man who has sacrificed, suffered
worked hard, mortgaged land, crops
or teams to secure seed and feed it
because very serious question what
shall | do to protect this. My crop

ten minute hail storm.
The farmers rightly think he has
had expense enough. But as q
business proposition he cannot af-

found in the Farmers Alliance Hail
Association" at actual cost this in
stitution has been in existence for
the past IS years with complete sat-
isfaction to all its members that are
scattered throughout every town
ship and county in our state.
The aim and object Of this asso-
citation which did over three mil
lion dollars business in the state
last season and paid in cash to Ward
county members alone-fifty thous-
and dollars besides more than that
amount to other parts Of the state is

This institution has been the
means of saving to it's members
thousands of dollars each season

'other so-called mutual concerns to
write insurance on their crops and
in each instance they have been sor-
ny because they are limitations and
not the old reliable Alliance Hail

should consider carefully the sub

Spring Fever in Horses.

An exchange says: The late spring
will make the farmers hurry up
some when the time comes for seed

farmers will forget to look out for
their horses. The first warm days
Of spring are always enervating to
man or beast. Spring fever is the
common name. 1t means something
when nature in this -. manner tells
how to go slow. The 'ta farmer in
such case DOTS his warm clothing
and thus accommodates himself to
the warmer temperature. But the
horse may still be wearing his warm
winter coat and it will take time, the
curry-comb, and sweat to get it shed
The horse has been all winter with
out much exercise. He has grown
soft. The harness will chafe him
easily. His appetite will be changed
by both the weather and the work.

CHICAGO UNDERWORLD IN PANIC FOLLOWING REVELATIONS IN
 INSPECTORS TRIAL.
MEN HIGHER UP ARE SOUGHT
Waynan Has Warrants for Influential Politicians and City Official Chicago Rotten to Core,
 He Declares.

Chicago Following the con Nictioh of Police Inspector Edward Mc1ann by jury for accepting money from resort proprietors in return for protection, the entire underworld, DO. Ice department and city officials are panle-stricken and demoralized.
 States Attorney Wayman declares that the result of the trial is only the beginning. Detectives from the states attorneys office, working independ- entiy of the city police department are securing every section of the citv. and shadowing seyerafinfluentiaI poll ticians.
 Wayman declares that he has con tlnelng proof that will implicate many men higher up" It is admitted thal three bench warrants were issued against notable Chicagoans
 Maintaining his "sphinx-like' atti tude regarding exact information, Mr. Wayman declines to tell whom these warrants are for, or whether or not they will be served.
 He insists. however, that his real graft bomb is to come later, and that he is only now engaged in a pre- hminary skirmish. Wayman openly charges that detectives from his de. partment are being hampered by the central office force from the city hall. He declares that several of his sleuthe have been threatened with arrest and that their actions have been tipped off to suspected persons.
 That Wayman has thrown conster nation into the camp of the under world is shown by the fact that sev eral resort keepers and ward heel CTS left the city. All kinds of uncon, flrmed rumors are prevalent.
 One of these, the truth or falsity of which cannot be established at this time, is that Wayman has q warrant for the arrest of high city official.
 He will not deny or'sonfirm this re. port. All he will say is, Wait, | have just started. Chicago is rotten to the core. I'll get the men higher up. In fact, I've got them. When I'm ready, I'll strike
 At meeting of resort keepers of the West Side it was decided by them to bring suit against Louis Frank, the principal witness against Inspector McCann. for money paid him as Tar back as ten years for alleged protec- tion. This, it is said, will amount to many thousands of dollars.
 Frank testified, in the McCann trial, that he under orders from the Inspector, collected money from the resort keepers, which in turn was paid to McCann

CountIi Judge Asher Gives Views on 4Eiahway Construction.

Littp Rock.-County Judge Asher has rRtllrned from his trip north and east kfter having spent a part of the he at Cleveland. O.. attending the u4 onal good roads convention. As a Nimmary, Judge Asher says he finds khat the road builders in Ar kansast are not behind the times and that road building depends, in the Yafiofa parts of the country. on the kind ef construction rock and the amount of money available The sys. tem of road building. he says. varies with d. conditions encountered. but the me general plan is followed throushou the country.
 Jud{ Asher says he found that in many cities the asphalt pavements are nbt holding out well and that they have to be patched frequently The Hactiee of laying asphalt over granitf pavement is proving failure in sorhe cities. as the base seems 10 be to9 hard. In time, he says, the asphaH top slips away from the gran ite base and peels off He says that granite block pavements are holding their Own and that creosote blocks are grbwing in favor Brick pave mentS in cities of the far north are on thh decline, the judge says, for the rdason that the severe winters injure the pavement. In some eases frost Gets under the pavements and the contraction sometimes ruins q street for several blocks
 Refetring again to New York. Judge Asher says that the average cost of a state road per mile is $9,500. Part of the cost is due 10 the fact that the general scheme is to build road that shall not have more than , per cent grade any. where
 T found one thing" said Judge Asher, and that is that the great | progress made in road building in the east is due to the farmers. The farmers are the ones that made the demanls. and the farmers are renpon. sible for the good roads. It is my opinion that the Farmers Union could not take up a greater work for | Arkansas"
