 B. F. Perkins, who was in charge Of the Chicago office of the service, was the lecturer in question. Davis said that he took the report of the agent that first looked into this mat ter of Perkins connection, to Bal finger. Newell ordered another man out to investigate further and in a letter to Perkins practically asked his resignation on the basis of the first report.
 '.In my presence David declared, Secretary Ballinger reprimanded Newell for interfering in a matter that he knew he, the Secretary. was handling personally"
 Attorney Pepper then presented a bunch of correspondence, principally a complaint by President J. J. HiIl, of the Great Northern, and the Northern Pacific Railroads. as to Perkins actions in boosting projects along the Hartman lines.
 f'I think I ought to say" Davis declared, ''in justice to the Secretary that he did not authorize all that Perkins did, notwithstanding the lat ter asserts that this was so.

THIS IS "sAwINd WOOD. ''

A few citizens met Friday night in the county clerks office at the court house for the avowed purpose of put ting forth their best efforts to get an- other railroad for Mena.
 There was not much talk and no whoop 'em up speeches or speech making. Attorneys merely outlined the steps necessary under the law to give the proposed enterprise proper standing. With that done the chair man asked for subscriptions for stock, and the crucial moment had arrived.
 In moment a citizen whose mot to, day and night, is Stand Up for Mena," stated he would take $20. .00O and everybody knew he meant what he said and that he ''has the goods. " Another said $10,0 another $20,- 000-$50, 900 subscribed in two min utesl Then the chairman announced that he was authorized by an inter est not present at the meeting to "put them in for as much as any body else took"-$20. 900 more. By telephone another citizen said "me too," and it was $90,000. Then sev- eral, taking fully as much as the biggest, according to their ability, said 5000 and $2000 until there was $100, ,000-all in less than fifteen minutes. Others promised to dc their part--and will within few days.
 This was not ''hot air" meeting thank you. Those present were putting their "chips" into game that is a game. and they acted just like men who would play it out to the end.
 Steady, now! No shouting!

Getting More Live Stock On Your Farm.

The plant feeds on the soil, the animal feed on the plant, and the fertility goes back to the soil. This is the Almighty's trinity-the plant, the animal. the soil-over and over again in intending cycles, if the earth is to be kept fruitful. Any sort of farming that tries to exist with only two of the three-the soil and the plant-fiies in the face of Nature and Providence and can only end in failure and in poverty.
 And true as this is for other sec tions. it is even truer for the South. The Western farmer, whose land is rich, may grow live stock if he chooses. It's'a matter of choice with him. But the Southern farmer whose land is poor. must grow live stock If he is to prosper. It's mat ter of necessity with him.
 Doubtless you do not wish togointo general stock raising now, Mir. Aver age Farmer, but you ought to have more hogs than you are raising. There's market for pork and bacon
