URGES ITS PASSAGE.

Fayetteville, March 26- Th2 proposed soil survey For the state ui Arkansas is character ized bN Acting Director (. F. Adams of the State Agricuitur- al Experiment Station as the most important problem before the station today.
 "A nations strength can be measured by her natural reSourc ces,' said Mir. Adams, and if these decline so does her strength The fertility Of our soils is the one fundamental and absolute basis of a4 property. We must not oniy know what our soi.s $ need buC we must know what to keep off of them. 1t would be che height of folly for the state to have the experiment sta tiOn determine what our soils need and then stand idly by and permit the sale of fertilizers which are of less value than or dinary dirt. The stringency of the law ought to be as great as our desire to know the truth
 The plan for promoting bet ter methods of agriculture, in cluding ways and means for maintaining and increasing the fertility of our soils is embodied in the pending Mckenzie bill ,ap- prOpriatinG S1O,00O to carry on the work during the next two yearsl
 Missouri is spending annually for this work S1S.OOO. Illinois S23,O ,OOO, Wisconsin $1O,OOO and Alabama S1O,0OO. illinois is considering spending S1OO,OOO a year for the next ten years eX- ciuslVe.y in vcarrying on this work
 Mr. Adams urges all farmers in the state to write to his re- presentative in the legisla ture urging the passage of the Me kenzie bill

From Margaret Dye Ellis, Ma tional uperintendent of Leg lslation We quote the following "Dr Wiley chief chemist of the Agricultural Department, at a banquet given in his honor the past week said: "A man can be immoral in his trade as well as in his actions. I have no enemies among honest men, men who are not anxious to deceive their GUS toners by misrepresenting ar ticles It is the man who sells impure foods and drugs that | am after, and as long as Il am in the battle l am going to lo my best. He also pointed out the dan ger of the Soft Drink Habit. and emphasized the innocence with which both boys and girls be- come addicted to it." He said.

 Parents and young people we beg of you to consider the above statement because the use Of an article of food or drink or the indulgence in an impure habit gives no immediate signs of IT, jury, is no guarantee that 1t IS not making insidious inroads ln- to ones constitution hhat IS cumulative, and will break out in some unexpected moment.

be decided In numerous large cities
throughout the country. In Phila-
delphia bitter contest is on for the
attorneyship and two minor Offices,
with strong Independent movement
against the dominant Republican or
ganization. While the contest is
named by the Independents Eight
for civic righteousness" it is a fight
between the identical elements that
clashed in 1905, with State Senator
James P. McNichol. political boss, on
one side, and D. c. Gibboney, indie
pendent Democratic candidate for
district attorney, on the other. AS
the district attorneyship Is regarded
politically as the most important Of
flee outside the mayoralty, this is re-
garded as contest of greater import
ance than that of four year ago, when
the Republican organization was de-
feated by $4,000 majority.
The contest in San Francisco is
similar in many respects to that in
Philadelphia. The fight hinges on
the district attorneyship, with the
continuation of the graft prosecution
as the most prominent issue AS
sistant District Attorney Francis J.
Heney, who conducted the graft
prosecution, is candidate for cleo
ton. He is opposed by Charles M.
Fickert, who was nominated on the
Republican and Union Labor tickets
William Croker is running for mayor
on the Republican ticket and DR.. T.
W. B. Leland is the Democratic can
didate The Union Labor party has
its own mayoralty candidate.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleve-
land is a candidate for his fifth con-
secutive term, and is opposed by Her.

contest is on for the mayoralty be-
tween Dr. Louis Schwab (Republican)

The strike situation In this city is
continually improving. AS usual the
striking men met this morning on the
river bank and the Is or 20 present
voted to continue. The contractors
this morning all report more men
showing up for work and operations
seem to be almost normal again.
Contractor McKiver is on the Sound
and it is said that he will bring
crew back with him the first OF the
week. He stated right along that
owing to the rainy. stormy weather
on the Sound and the desire of the
working men to get out of that eli
mate that it was possible for him to
bring a crew of men here at any
time. He has held out, however, de-
string to employ as many local men
as possible but failing to get full
crew here he has decided to import
men. Jack O'Connor's machine drill
for business in a few days.
The following position of the strik-
ers was sent in this morning to the
Daily World by a representative of
the strikers:
Those opposing the strike are con-
tinually trying to create the impress
| sion that we are striking for higher
scale than was paid under the ten
hour system This is emphatically a
direct evasion of the facts as regards
| the scale. We have not in single
| instance asked a higher scale than
was paid under the ten hour sys-
tenn"

commercial club. He certainly is In
position to put forward to the best
advantage the opportunities of this
section. All honor to Mr.. Clark, he
practices what he breaches. 1t was
his orchard, am sure, that Mr.. Dali
ZACH mentioned in his able talk, and
there is no question but that Mr..
Clark believes just what he stated
in speaking of the future Of the dis
trict. The proof is shown from the
fact that he has advised the expendi-
ture of such large amount Of money
in charging and Strengthening the
high line canal.
With these men as speakers, to set
forth the opportunities of this dis
trict, no one, not even the most OPP
timistic, will doubt their sincerity of
purpose and firm belief that what
they say is true.
Let us have, 1 say, Booster meet
ings once a month. Not only will it
help convince the new conner, but
| will stir we older residents up to
greater activity and better acquaint-
ance, and understanding of one an

our business relations, and make US
work more together. And let me sug-

next banquet and not oranges and

MEETINGS EVERY

L. G. OLDS APPRECIATES ABIL-
ITY OF LOCAL PEOPLE AS EVIL
DENCED BY MEETING OF LAST
NIGHT.
Editor of the Daily World:


1t was my pleasure to attend both
the meeting and banquet of the
Boosters" last evening, and the
thought has occurred to me, why can
we not have these Booster meetings
at regular intervals, at least once a
month. I do not mean to send away
for some gifted orator to come and
stir us up that often, but we have
local speakers of ability, plainly evil
denced by the eloquent talks of last
evening. l, for one, am proud of
them. While I thoroughly appreciate
the gifted man from Spokane, it was
with intense interest that listened
to every word of every one of our
speakers last evening. There was
not one over enthusiast. I consider
this the best meeting of the kind
that has ever been held in Wenat-
chez. 1t is evident that the Wenat-
chez people are on the right track
when we have leaders such as talked
to us last evening. Who doubts but
what we have the right man as SUI
perintendent of our schools after
listening to the words of Prof
Brown; who can doubt that the af-
fairs of our city are in safe hands
when he listened to the manly
straightforward effort made by May
or Gellatly; DR.. Kings subject, "Op
portunities,' so eloquently delivered
shows beyond doubt that we were
wise in selecting him to head oul
