FORREST CITY FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 2s, 1911
Urge Agricultural Traininq.


 Hon. George A. Cole, president of the State Farmers Union, and H. s. Mobley. lecturer and organizer of boys corn clubs in Arkansas, ad dressed the house in response to an invitation by that body Mir. Cole said he thought the state had no better law than that requiring agriculture to be taught in the common schools of the country. but he thought 1t should be carried further and provide a plot of ground to be utilized by each school for experimental work He gave as cause for the failure of many agricultural schools the fact that they have at their head literary men instead of practical farmers, and pointed out the distinction between the book method and the scientific way of teaching agriculture. He called attention to the fact that one fourth of the people produce the food consumed by the other three-fourths, and declared that it is to the interest of the majority that the farmer be ed ucated to the highest possible stand ard of perfection in his line of indus try. He declared that unless our farmer boys are trained in their call ing our land will soon go into the scientific farmers. Without proper equipment of our agricultural schools, he said, our boys and girls will drift into the literary schools, which do not lit them for practical vacations. Mir. Mobley called attention to the two kinds of education, the classic and the avocational. The classic educa- tion, he said, fits no one for the prac- tical side of life, while those espe- cially trained in any pursuit, even though with limited literary educa. tion, are the ones who succeed. He reviewed the work of the boys corn clubs as an educational factor which is having a potent influence for the uplift of the farming industry in Ark ansas, and appealed to the legislators to not graft literary branches upon the agricultural schools of Arkansas
 Another Statewide Prohibition Bill.
 Speaker Milwee and Representative Hardage of Clark have introduced a bill providing for the submission oi the prohibition question to a vote at the general election of 1912. It pro, hibits the manufacture and sale of liquor as beverage, and under it's provisions 1t will be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to take orders for liquor in another state, or fo- any newspaper in Arkansas to car ry liquor advertisement Any vio- lation of the provisions of the act is punishable by fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, or Imprisonment from one to six months. Any officer failing or refusing to en- force the provisions of the act sub- jects himself to a fine of $50 to si ,00O and removal from office, excepting in cases of prosecuting attorneys, their fine being $100 to $1,000

INCOME TAX IS
 ALMOST ASSURED
THIRTY HAVE ALREADY RATl. FEED THE AGREEMENT, WHILE
 35 ARE NECESSARY.
Eleven States Have Not Yet Voted on the Amendment, and Four
 Have Rejected 1t.

Washington, D. C.-The action of the Arkansas legislature in ratifying the proposed income tax amendment brings the number of states in favor ot the amendment up to thirty. To carry the amendment, ratification by three-fourths of all the forty-six states of the union is required. This means that tnirty-fiye of the states must so vote.
 Four states so far stand as having rejected the measure, and the legis- latures of eleven states have taken no action.
 The states that have ratified the amendment are: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland. Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Cal ifornia, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan. Montana, Oregon, Kansas, Missouri. Oklahoma, Maine, Illinois. Indiana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wiscon- sin, North Carolina, Nevada and Washington.
 Arkansas originally voted against the amendment, but reeonsidered it's action. Under the law, legislature may vote against, and may reconsid- CT, but an affirmative vote is final. The states that have voted against the amendment and still so stand are: Louisiana, Massachusetts, Virginia, New York, West Virginia, Rhode Isl and, Utah, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Vermont.
 The amendment was proposed to the United States senate June IT. 1909, by Senator Norris Brown of Ne braska, and was amended by the com mittee on finance to read as follows:
 "The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever sources derived, without ap- portionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration
 The senate approved the constitu- tional amendment on July 5, 1909, and within 10 days thereafter the house of representative passed the amendment Both political parties are committed to the tax in their national platforms.

The 5th, of June

This is a very important day
for the voters of the 9th Con.
gressional District of Iowa, and
is to determine the question of
which party shall represent the
people in Congress from this
district.
Judge Green, the Republican
candidate, reminds US, in his
speech of acceptance, of u man
we once knew who was a candi-
date for sheriff of the county,
and was very anxious to be
elected, and therefore tried to
ride two horses at one time,
one going east and the other
going west. On calling upon
an old farmer, who was a very
religious man, who said to the
candidate: You are a men,
Der of the church l suppose. !"
ooh, yes," said the candidate.
"What bsanch Of the church do
you belong TO-" said the far
mer. "Oh," said the candidate,
81 am 9! Presbyterian, Baptist.
Methodist, Campbellite sort OF
a fellow, and am willing to go
to heaven with either or ali of
these members, " said the candi-
date, determined, if possible,
to be on good terms with the
farmer. Just so with Judge
Green. He is a Republican,
born such, a standpatter-pro-
gressive-republican, willing to
60 to Congress with any or all
of them, just so he can get into
Congress, that's the point, and
to effect that object, he is will
ing to be classed with any or
all the factions in his party,
bit how he is to support the
National Administration, and
at the same time stand on the
platform made by his party, is
the serious question Of the
hour. Better be pig or pup.

A picture made in America
by the Pathe Co Even though
this story is shown by the Mot
ion Picture, it has a plot and
dramatic situations, that are
rarely surpassed in costly dra-
mas of the stage. To think of
it, it hardly seems possible that
so much can be boiled down, to
a twenty minute act, and still
have the best of the story left.
This is just the case in this
picture. 1t is a real credit to
the producer and to the Pathe
Co., in general.
