DR. KNAPP TALKS.
High Authority in Agricultural De-
 partment Praises Arkansas.

Little Rock.-Dr. S. A. Knapp, of the United States department of az riculture, who was in charge of the cooperative demonstration work at the educational conference in Lit tie RockS talked at length concern ing Demonstration work throughout the South. He declared that the work had already done wonders for Arkansas and said it would not be long before Arkansas farmers would be doubling their crops.
 Dr. Knapp stated that he he'd been attending educational conferences in the South for some time, and declar- ed that his impression of the work accomplished was very favorable.
 In reference to the farmers dem Knapp stated that the greatest hin drance to the progress of the South has been the difference of views con- cerning the proper methods to de velop the country and people.
 Tt is necessary to harmonize these views, ne stated.
 "The trouble in the South has been the lack of putting common econom- ic principles to work. It has been the idea that nothing but cotton should be raised. A farmer would plant all of his land in cotton. If the cotton crop failed what was the result? He was bankrupt He had nothing to fall back upon. What we urge is the need Of diversification of crops. At least, plant enough things upon which to live. Raise food stuffs at least. Raise those as a protection The South should be the richest eoupntry in the world. and it has the conditions to make it the lack of economic conditions"
 Dr. Knapp referred to the manner in which the farmers demonstration work has been taken up in Arkansas, expressing qualification at the prog ress made by his lieutenants in this state. He also said that Arkansas is fast gaining different reputation in the North and East than it has had heretofore.
 "The people away from here have come to realize that this is a state of opportunities and that the people here are hustling to place Arkansas in the front rank" declared MT Knapp.
 Before the educational conference adjourned the claims of several cit ies were presented, but upon vote it was decided to hold the next session at Iacksnrrlle Fln-ida

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women l am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY, RE D., Graniteville, Vt.
 No oher medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female Ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barelaysays. it is worth moun- tains of gold to suffering women.

BOOST THE STATE"
BOARD OF CONTROL OF LAND
 CONGRESS ANNOUNCED.
President Goaree A. Cole Talks Of Plans for Properly Advertising
 State of Arkansas.

Little Rock-The members of the Board of Control of the Arkansas Land Congress have just been made public by President George 4. Cole. One vice president from each coun- ty in the state will be appointed, in compliance with a resolution adopt ed at the first annual session of the congretss. S
 The members of the executive committee, which is q part of the board of control. are as follows:
 President, George A. Cole of Fay etteyille; vice president, Bert John son of Pike county; w. H. Lankford, of Jefferson county; secretary, Er- nest Ratteree; treasurer, W. L. Hemingway, and George R. Brown, all Of Little Rock.
 In addition to the executive com mittee, the board of control has a representative from each of the sev- en congressional districts, and rep resentatives of the leading trunk lines of railroad in the state.
 The representatives from the con gressional districts are: Love Banks, of Smithdale H. l.. Remmel, of Lit tie Rock; Dr. c. F. Adams, of Fay etteyille; John P. Logan, of Granniss; 1; Prof. M. F. Dickinson, of Conway; Col. S. W. Fordyce of Hot Springs, and T. C. McRae of Prescott.

E King; Kansas City Southern. Gary Wood and J. H. Tull; Missouri and North Arkansas, Leo D. Dell; Rock Island, c. B. Schmidt and J. B. Fay. Tor.
 As yet no definite plans have been formed regarding the advertis- ing of Arkansas said President Cole, but I believe we should have no difficulty in raising sufficient funds to do this advertising and feel con. fident that the plans adopted will bring the desired result For one thing, in the way of advertisement, I believe that it would be a good plan to send an exhibit car, loaded with samples of the things raised and found in Arkansas, through the North and East. The car should be supplied with literature advertising the yari- ous resources of the state'
 MT. Cole also stated that he be- lieved some arrangement should be made whereby farms of 40 and 80 acres could be sold throughout the state to Northern and Eastern peo- pie. many of whom, he said, are now going to Canada
 About 50.000 people moved frcno the United States to Canada last year." declared Prof Cole. This movement should be stopped, and part of it at least headed toward Ar kansas. The wrong impression has existed concerning this state Peo- pie have thought it barbarous, and ev- erything else that is bad, but they are learning their error, and we should now push our advantage"

HOW TO LOWER FOOD PRICES
Elimination of Middlenan Gives Uni ted States Government Much
 Advantage in Panama.

Just what can be done by the elim- inaticn of the middleman in supply ing the public with food is strikingly shown by the commissary price list just published in the Panama Canal Record. While the work on the Pan- anna canal is progressing, the United States government is supplying the la borers and the clerical force on the isthmus with food purchased in the United States and distributed through the agency of the canal commission.
 The goods are bought in the open market in this country and are sold to the canal employees at cost price, plus the transportation charges and the expenses of distribution Yet in the face of rising markets in this country the records show a reduction in the price of thirty-two out of sev- enty-three kinds of grades of meat, poultry and game.
 The reduction in the price of meat has been gradual but consistent in the past year. Porterhouse steak, which cost 29 cents a year ago, was reduced to 21 cents February 1 of this year. The Americans on the isthmus. out side of the foreigners, who are doing the laborers work, consume eggs in twice the value of their meat, and the price of these eggs, brought to the isthmus in cold storage and kept so. has declined from 50 cents in Decem- ber 1908, to 36 cents in the middle of February of this year

'I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table.
 T had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
 Sometimes it would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast. and if walked up a hill, it gave me se- were pain.

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON
Busy Town of Chemnitz Witnesses Birth of Invention of Great
 Commercial importance.

The busy town of Chemnitz, the largest manufacturing center in the kingdom of SaXony and one of the largest factory towns of the German empire, has just witnessed the birth of new invention which will doubt less cause considerable changes in the price of cotton, which, furthermore, will be of interest and importance to our readers in kapok growing coun- tries, says Scientific American.
 For some considerable time past the German textile world has been de- voting unfagging attention to the discovery of fbrous plants which might in any way be rendered avail able as a substitute for cotton, and great interest has been given to the different more or less. successful ex- periments made. Trials made with ramie and caravonica have been fairly successful, but have not met with that need of success, nor attracted so much attention, which has fallen with the fiber of the kapok tree, the so-called silkwood tree, which four ishes in America, Asia and Africa The fruit of this tree contains a seed which like that of the cotton plant is enveloped in soft silky hairs. These hairs, however, have been so short that they have hitherto been useless to cotton spinners and have been used chiefly for upholstery and mat tress making purposes. Most kapok trees grow wild and only recently have few Europeans begun to culti- vate them systematically in New Guinea and east Africa. Steps are also being taken to grow these trees properly in the German protec- torates.
 This new industry will be greatly favored by the process just discovered by a large German spinning mill, whereby it is now possible to render kapok fiber easily spinnable, So far as an absolute matter of fact the yer itable fiber of the kapok tree has not been dealt with, but only the fbers of the calotropis procera, a plant growing wild in east Africa; however, it is exactly the same as kapok fiber in character, appearance and quail ties. Hence if the one can be spun. so can the other, point on which not the least doubt is entertained. By means of process evolved by Prof. Goldberg of Chemnitz the brittle and fragile fiber of the kapok tree is treated in such a way as to render it easily spinnable, and yarn up to No. 12 English is now being spun from 1t. X sample, both of the raw material and of the yarn may be seen at the offices. As will be seen the yarn is of fine quality and of very soft. silky ia question does not necessitate the employment of any new machinery. asn is based entirely upon ovei and somewhat complicated system of pre- lim.Gary preparation and spinning. What the actual process is cannot ye. be divulged
 In the German African colonies fiber stuffs of all kinds are now be- ing grown, and as Dr. Hindorf recent ly pointed out in report to the ko- onialwlrtschaftlich the new plantations of sisal in German east Africa have now attained such dimen- sions that ia a few years time the annual output will exceed 10000 tons, and Germany will be able to meet her own requirements

terday at division headquarters, an
nounces that Brigadier-General Ram
say ID. Potts has been formally re-
lieved from the command at Fort
William Mckinley and assigned to
the command of the Department OF
Luzon.
Since the departure of Major.
General william II. Carter for the
United States, General Potts has
been acting commander OF the DE

forming the duties of commanding
officer of Fort william Mckinley.
General and Mrs. Potts, who have
been occupying their regular quar-

quarters of the commanding general
of the department at No. / Gale

The command of the post at Fort
Mckinley has been turned over to
Colonel Daniel Cornmann, eth In
'fantry, the senior colorel at the
post, who will remain in command
until a general officer arrives from
the United States. There has been
some conjecture among military men
here as to the probable successor OF
General Potts. The command OF a
brigade post is junior to that OF a
department, 80 the new commander
must be junior in rank to General
Potts. The only officer available. 1t

It is understood that General Grant

The statement OF President Bowles
OF the Fore River Shipbuilding Com
pany that the United States can
build battleships for less than Eng
land, has raised an inquiry in the
British Parliament. The First Lord
OF the Admiralty replied that he
was unable to say why the cost was
lower in the protected country than
in free-trade England. as he had no
detailed information as to the exact
proportions OF the vessels and equip
ments included in the computation,
nor any as to the standard OF quail
ity. Asked whether the standard OF
efficiency in the equipment of the
U. s. navy was less than In the
British navy, he replied that he had
no knowledge and could make no
comparison.
