Educational campalan Effective.

In the states of the United States in which the most preventive anti-tuber- culosis work has been done the per centage of public funds spent is the highest, while in states where little or no effort has been made to prevent tu- berculosis, and the treatment of the disease alone has been considered, the percentage of public expenditures is very low. For instance, of the $1,600,- 900 spent in New York in 1909, near ly 60 per cent. was from state and city funds. In Massachusetts nearly two thirds was from public money; in Maryland about one-half, and in Penn sylvania three-fourths. In Colorado, on the other hand, less than one per cent. was from public money; in Cal ifornia about Is per cent, and in Ari- zona none at all. These facts indi- cate, the national association declares, that wherever an aggressive educa- tional campaign has been carried on by private organizations, states and cities have been induced to make lib- eral appropriations for the prevention of tuberculosis.

DESCRIBE SUCCESSFUL DRAINAGE
State Geologist Urges Adoption of the
 Yazoo District Methods.

Prof. A. H. Purdue of Fayetteville, the state geologist, is interesting him. self in the move to drain Arkansas. In letter received by the Little Rock Board of Trade Professor Purdue says that he has paid much attention to the lowlands in the St. Francis basin. This basin is partly in Missouri and partly in Arkansas and much drainage work has already been done in the Missouri part.
 "The complete and most economic drainage of these lands requires, first that there be topographic map made of the area, such as was made in the Yazoo district of Mississippi" :" writes Professor Purdue. "Such maps should have contour interval of not more than two and one-half feet and should be carefully prepared.
 .'After these maps are made the lines of natural drainage stand out distinctly, not only for the main ditches, but also for the tributary ditches. In other words, such maps would indicate the lines along which the ditches should be dug for the complete drainage of the area down to 40acre tracts.
 "The United States Geological Sur vey makes the best topographic maps that are made in the world, and 1 am sure that a plan of cooperation could easily be secured between that bureau and the state, the St. Francis Drainage District, or any other drainage district that might be organized -

This increase in the capital stock of the Iron Mountain was rendered nee essary on account of the recent pur- chase of auxiliary lines. The fee of $15,050 was paid in accordance with the law which provides that $50 must be paid for the first increase of $100,- 900 or less of company's capital stock and $25 for each additional $100,oo0 or less

WOULD DRAIN SWAMP LANDS.
Prominent Arkansans Ask Government
 Authorities for Aid

Little Rock.-Arkansas was wei rep resented at the nation s capital by a delegation who went for the express purpose of urging upon government au- thorities the necessity for an extensive drainage system in this state. The mem bers of the party are delegates to a drainage convention called by Governor Donaghay of Arkansas, which is to meet in Little Rock February 9 and 10, and their visit here was in connection with that meeting, which is attracting more than statewide attention.
 "The drainage of these lands is much more important than irrigation," said G. A. Cole, the state president of the Farmers Union, who was an en- thusiastic member of the visiting dele gation "Arkansas alone has as much Iich soil to be reclaimed as may be giv- en by all the irrigation schemes These lands are right where they are needed to supply the kitchens of the great towns of the Middle West. We want these lands redeemed to give us more acres for more farmers, and the whole country is interested in the proposition, as it affects the food supply. Some men claim that consumption is overtaking production. We will not argue that. What we say is that we need more production. We propose to give to the country the products of six millions of acres of the richest land in America, and to give good small farms for thou sands and thousands of good farmers. We have begun work and propose to push it. Our section of the South is waking up. The way to do things is to do them and not talk about it. We don want much from the government, but that little we must have. We want our own congressional representatives to do less talking about politics and get more action for the business and agri- culture of our state, it's growth and de- velopment. We want more farms, not political squabbles. "
 The visiting delegation discussed this subject with officials of the govern ment and members of congress.
 Members of the party were G. A. Cole, state president of the Farmers Union; M F. Dickinson, state secre- tary; Hon. O. N. Killough, member of the legislature and St Francis Levee Board; D. c. F. Adams, director of agricultural experiment station; Judge s. B. Walker of Jonesboro and Judge J. l.. Light of Paragould.
 President Taft declared he was in hearty sympathy with the plan, while Uncle Joe Cannon took occasion to say he had been in Arkansas and knew of the many resources and advantages of the state.

An interested state pensioner has written to the state auditor to know why the pensioners are not paid every three months, "as is done in the case of federal penioners. " Auditor lobe has informed the inquirer that it is be cause the warrants are made out for the entire amount allowed for the year and the pensioner gets the whole thing at once. Even then, the pension bus ness in the auditor s department is growing out of proportion to the clerical force allowed to take care of it.
