EXPECT BIG YIELD
 ON STATE FARM
Four Hundred Acres Already Planted and Little Damage Was Done
 By Recent Rains.

Little Rock, April S.--Yhp State of Arkansas is farming right this year, with 36OO acres in cotton 400 acres of which have already been planted and the balance will follow jls5 as rapidly as the weather will permit Superintendent James McCook, of the State Farm, was in Little Rock today and stated the prospects are flal- tering for the biggest yield in the history of the farm, and in the state did not have over 2,OOO bales of cot ton to sell this fall it would be a great disappointment to him.
 He says the State at the present time is gambling on the crop, for no one can tell whether the first plant ing will get stand until it has been tried Supt McCook reports a very heavy rain at the farm Monday night but the heavy black land does not wash readily, so little or no damage was done.

CONVICT CAMPS
 AND FARM PAY
Report Is Made By Subcommittee Chairman of Penitentiary and
 State Farm Affairs

Little Rock, April S.-George w. Clarke of Lonoke, chairman of the subcommittee to make investigations into penitentiary affairs, today re- ported in the House that the convict camps of the state were operated last year at a profit of $70,O0O to the state not including the work done for the Capitol Commission. He also re- ported the State Farm was operated at profit of $73,O00, exclusive of the $141 ,000 received from the cotton crop. He places the value of the farm at $200,000 and says it is net ting the state a profit of IS per cent upon the estimated value. Mn Clarke says no complaint can be made of the use of the lash by the prison of- ficials, as it is only in cases of in- subordinatiOn or gross misconduct. and then no real bodily harm is done to the convict.

 My signs aren't down. He talked so loud that several persons stop ped to listen, and then Johnny said pointing to miserable drunkard ly' ing the gutter whom the saloon-keep- CT had not noticed

Little Rock, Ark, April S.-The St. Francis levee bill, which has been hanging fire in committee for months. while great variety of bills has been considered, is due ,o oe thresh ed out in the House next Thursday, April 13. The Going bill was called up just before adjournment Thurst day ofternon, by Lewis of St. Frcn- cis, in the obsenca of the author and instantly tense situation de- veloped.

 Does it pay to call ministers to preach the gospel of love, charity honesty, purity, forgiveness and re- demption, and license other men to engage in a traffic which fosters hate, engenders strife, breeds dis honesty, impurity and final destruc- tion? Does it pay to license busi- ness which gets the drunkhrd's mon- ey and compels his wife and children to go in rags, his wife to take in washing to support the family and finally send her to the poorhouse brokenhearted and bury her in the potter's field?

JEWISH PEOPLE TO
 OBSERVE PASSOVER
The Annual Festival to be Observed All Over the World Beginning
 Wednesday Night.

Jewish people all over the world will celebrate Passover next Wednes- day night and Thursday and also the following Tuesday night and Wednes- day, this festival being one of three of seven or eight days duration, of which, however, only the first and last days are holy Orthodox Jews observe two days at the beginning and two at the end of the feast.
 Passover (Pesach) is the seven days festival observed by the Jew in the early Spring in commemoration of the Exodus from Egypt In ancient Jewish life, it was the first of the three Pilgrim festivals, upon which every male Jew was required to pre- sent himself in person at the central sanctuary in Jerusalem. Although the Passover has certain features iE common with the universal Spring festival, it is it's historical signifi- canoe which gives it lasting vitality It is the great Independence Day of
 
 the Jew; the first event which became fundamental in all his thinking, too, as evidenced by the frequent reference to the great deliverance. The festi- val is ushered in by family service. called the Seder at which certain symbolic ceremonials are observed. Each participant-and the lowMest is privileged to sit at the table thac night-is required to drink four cups of wine, in memory of the four prom ises made by the Eternal to redeem Israel from bondage. On the table, are the unleavened cakes (Matzos) the shin bone of lamb (roasted on the coals), commemorative of the Paschal sacrifice, roasted egg. to symbolize the mortar with which the "Egyptians made bitter the lives of the fathers, and bitter herbs (Maror) reminiscent of the unhappy days in Egypt. In song and story, the tale of the oppression and the deliverance is rehearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving (HalleD, strike the key note of the happy occasion. The services, inter- rupted for the family dinner, closes

 During festival, unleavend bread is eaten instead of the usual leaven In orthodox homes, great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the beginning of the festival Sets of dishes, otherwise unused, are provided.
 Services are held in the synagogue and sermons preached in keeping with
 the thoughts of the festival. Fix cerpts from, or in some cases, the whole of the book of The Song of Songs are read.

MT. Kerwin, member of the lower house of the present generally assem- bly, deserves to be made governor of Arkansas, or exalted to any other position he chooses.

Ralph Mathena Told the Truth for
Once.

Ralph Mathena, in whom there was
supposed to be no truth, has been
caught in a straight story. So often
has he been arrested for petty thieving
and so often convicted and fined in the
police court. that no officer on the
force believes a word he says nor al
lows him to pass without an investiga-
ton. And every officer knows him.
Thus it happened that on July 8.
Patrolmen England and Wyatt. seeing
him riding a wheel, promptly pulled
him off and without further parIey
took him and the bike to the station.
He insisted he had borrowed the wheel
and because there was none to prove
he had stolen 1t, Judge Arnold for once
let him go. But the police kept the
wheel.
Today B. H. Harvey. youth whose
home is near Berryton, came to he
station asking for a lost wheel. He
described the one taken from Adathena.
The wheel was brought out and Har-
Vey confirmed the story of Mathena,
saying he had loaned him the bicycle
at the corner of Sixth and Quincy
streets to take a ride down Quincy.
Inc police We're shocked to learn that
Mathena had gone so far in the truth
but would not admit but that he IN
tended to keep the wheel. The coua-
tr' boy was advised to be careful in
ioaning his wheel to city men.
