NOW TO GET DOWN
 TO ACTIVE WORK

Meua now has real chance to get the big state agricultural school.
 The Key. NJ. K. Irwin, who represented this city before the board of trustees at Camden last eek laid our claims before the board so effectively that the time for selection of the location was postponed until April 6, at Little Rock. He states that all five members of the board will be in Mena on March IF, when they will look over the various sites that can be obtained. This board is composed of the following gem tlemen: ]. T. M. Holt, chair man, Bingen, Hampstead county; J. E. Rogers, vice chairman, Magnolia, Columbia county; S. M. Sampson, secretary, Amity, Clark county; K. F. Jackson, Ben- ton, Sa.ine county, and w. F. Tate, Camden, Ouachita county.
 There is no question but Mir. K. P. Jackson of the board was very much pleased with Mena and what he saw while here. The fact, too, that can but be help full to US, is that while these schools are paid for and to be sup ported by the taxpayers of the whole state, the larger part of which is rough aud mountainous, three of the schools are located in the lowlands.
 It is obvious, then, to anyone, that the fourth school, at least. should be situated where it's les sons aud experiences would be oi value to that population living outside the lowlands,
 These are points in Mena's favor, but they must be backed up by plenty of land and a sup- stantial cash bonus.
 The offers of other cities are:
 Magnolia, 200 acres and $25,- 900.
 Camden, +4O acres and SIP, 500.
 Stephens, 200 acres and SIS, ,000.
 Hope. $10,000.

TO PROCEED UNDER
 FERTILIZER ACT
Official Declares He Will Prosecute Manufacturer for Failure to Have Tags on Their
 Product.

Conway, March 1. 4.-Fertilizer manufacturers selling fertilizer in Arkansas may be prosecuted be- cause they have failed to comply with the law requiring their goods sold iu this state to be tag ged. according to announcement made here today by rosecuting Attorney George w. Clark. The attention of the latter was direct ell 10 tLe absence m the tags by Prof. M. F. Dickinson, secretary of the Ark ,nsas Farmers Uuiou, who declares that the law requir- ing all fertilizer sold in Arkansas to be inspected and tagged was enacted at the instigaiion of the Arkansas Farmers Union.
 I'm preparing now 10 bring a large lumber of prose culions for violations of the law in the Sey- enteeuth district" said Mir. Clark today. "and from the many evil denccs of violation of the fertil- izer inspection act 1 would sup. puse that this law has been simr. larly violated iu other parts of tle state.
 Secretary Dickinson declares that he has received complaints from all sections of the state to the eff ect that fertilizer is being sold without being inspected and tagged. He stated that he had taken the matter up with Attor- ney General Norwood and several prosecuting attorneys. ''I also wrote to several of the fertilizer manufacturers and by them have been informed that they could not secure tags from the state commissioner Of mines, manufacturers and agriculture. ,"
 No Appropriation, Says Tucker.
 State Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture Guy B. Tucker last nigh ex. plained that the fertilizer had n ot b en inspected and no tags had been issued for the fertilizer com panies because the act providing for the inspection aud issuance of tags carried no appropris ton for that purpose.

An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment.
 This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates without rubbing - through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief.

noon hour is said to have been the largest of any such celebration ever held in this city. The final meet ing of the executive committee will be held tomorrow afternoon and the amount realized will be known then. A neat sum 1t is predicted will be added to the fund for the support of the American school. But for the rain in the afternoon, the committee believes there would have been fully 4,000 paid admis- sions. The cafe management claims to have fed ten times as many as were taken care of at the celebra- ton year ago. The total receipts at the celebration Monday are estimated to have been around $7 300, of which amount about $2,- 250 came from the sale of confetti. Some confetti was lost in the rain, but the ladies reported that they were unexpectedly successful with the four booths. Expenses of the celebration were about $4,000, which will leave a balance of be- tween $2,000 and $3, 300 to be turn ed over to the American school.

Mexican Herald: Mexican ban anas to the number of 10000 punches month will be shipped into Galveston, as the result of the recent purchase of two steamship companies by Texas and Mexico capitalists, according to dispatch received here yesterday from Galveston. The dispatch is as follows: Henry Galley of San An tonio, F. Palenque of Frontera, Mexico, and c. Nicolini of Calves. ton have purchased the Southern Steamship and Importing com pany and associated company, the Southern Banana company, which have been in the hands of re- ceiver since April. The deal was negotiated at a meeting of the stockholders under the jurisdiction of the court and the company will be reorganized.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Juan F. Trevifo, local manager of the Kan sas City, Mexico and Orient rail- road, is just back from Mexico City and brings the news corroborating the press reports that President Still we'll of that road had succeeded in placing bonds of the company in England to the amount of $5,000,- 900 gold; also, that letter from MT. StilweIl to s. w. Rider, the Mexico City representative of the us. and Mexican Trust Go. stated that the 365 mile gap between the Conchos river in Chihuahua and San Angelo, Tex, would now be closed up. MT. Trevifio yesterday showed the writer a letter from w. w. Colpitts, chief engineer of the Orient road, stating that the laying of track on grade 10 miles west of Sanchez station on the mountain division and 9 miles east of the Conchos river both in this state) would be taken up at once. Local Engineer Mcclure has wired A. H. Hill to return and resume his grad ing east of the Conchos.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The peo- pie of this city have been wonder ing, why and doing more-they are kicking-because they can not get good and fresh many of the necessities of life which, in the plain condition of things, have to come from the States via El Paso. Grocers explain that there is only one local freight train per week from El Paso to this city and they just can not get stuff any oftener; and that is all there is to it. No matter what may be the reasons people can not get many necessities and conveniences which they form erly did. By express is decidedly too expensive in this day of al ready unreasonable prices. It is suggested that the freight service between here and El Paso is some thing for the local Chamber ot Commerce to took into, and il found advisable, to call the atten tion of the federal Department O Communications to it. Even wher car loads of freight reach or pasI the border city of Juarez it il claimed by local people that there is no telling when it will reacE here.

tute by Saying Tendency to
Lie Is Natural.

Pittsburg, Pa-That an alarming
proportion of children between the
ages of and 13 years are addicted to
lying, was the statement made by DR..
Earl Barnes of Philadelphia. in an ad-
dress to teachers attending the Allie
gheny County institute. In an address
on "The Truth-Telling of Children
he referred to specific instance in
drawing this conclusion and declared
that the tendency to lie is natural un
der the natural law of self-preserva-
ton, and that the average child can't
help but lie. .
He told his audience that truth tell
ing is not virtue but a vice." and
asserted that 1.-The fox that tells he
truth will die" He then drew paral-
lels to illustrate his statement. He
insisted that animals that tell the
truth surely will die
Lying in America began with the
Indians" he said. land he left progeny
behind him to perpetuate his quail
ties"
DR.. Barnes took up business life and
said that on the whole there was
great stability in business as 1t rests
on mems word. He declared that any
kind of fraud is due to the force of
weak nature, and contended that this
is why women are more forceful than

There are 99s truths told to every
one lie IN politics" said DR.. Barnes.
THE truth generally is told In trade
and politics. That 999 truths are
told to every one lie in politics may
seem doubtful. The trouble is that
the one lie stands out so plainly that
truthful statements are doubted.
Truth-telling is now vice and not
virtue. People doubt the truth when
1t is told to them. and believe that
most everything they hear is false

He declared that children in state

as they were yesterday. and showed
why.

off the child that is prone to tell lies.

The problem is how to manage them

see that the child takes a step toward

bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used In this ex-
pertinent, and they were divided into
lots of five each. Twelve different ra-
tions were used. with corn alone In
two of them, and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed oil

age gained the most; those receiving
corn alone we're most unsatisfactory.

There are differences of opinion re-
garding the correct arrangement OF
eveners and single-trees, and in partic-
ular the lines or reins. The latter de-
pends much upon the temper of the
horse. One farmer drives several
horses abreast without the use of lines
or whip, having trained them to go,
back. and turn by queer sounding calls,
writes |. G. Bayley in Popular Me-
chanics. Another farmer drives six
horses abreast with single pair of
lines attached to the outsiae horses,
the inside horses being connected with
single straps.
The methods of harnessing up from
one to six horses abreast are shown
in the sketch. which has been approved
by several farmers that have had sew
eral years Of experience. The methods
shown are for plows, scoops or road
scrapers. When connecting to wagons
the only difference is In the design Of
the last evener, which has hole In
the center for connecting to the pole
or tongue instead of the chain hook.
Single-trees and eveners for wagons
are usually made about one-third heav-
fer than for plows, keeping the same
lengths throughout It will be OBJ

Watering the Horse.

AS the work horse does increases,
the amount OF water he requires in.

horse needs large quantities OF water,
and needs 1t often. II 1t is not sup

sues; they shrink and the horse is said
to get poor. Failure to give sufficient
water is far more frequently the cause
Of farm horses getting poor during the
working season than lack OF feed.
Horses suffer seriously from the usual
practise Of allowing them to go from
one feeding period till the next in hot
weather without water. A good rule
is to water the first thing In the morn:

feed and the last thing in he even
