STATE FARMING
 ON LARGE SCALE

Little Rock, April 5.-The state of Arkansas is farming right this year, with 3,600 acres in cotton, 400 acres of which have already been planted and the balance will follow just as rapidly as the weather will permit. Superintendent James McCook of the state farm was in Little Rock today and stated the prospects are flatterng for the biggest yield in the history of the farm, and if the state did not have over 2,O00 bales of cotton to sell this fall it would be great disappoint- ment to him. He says the state at the present time is gambling on the crop, for no one can tell whether the first planting will get stand until it has been tried. Superintendent 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.

VETERANS WILL
 NOT BE SLICHTfD AMPLE ARRANGEMENTS
HAVE BEEN MADE TO CARE FOR THEM AT LITTLE
 ROCK REUNION.

Little Rock, April "A feature of the coming Confederate Veterans Re union, Little Rock, May l5, 16, F and IS, is the unusual pains taken to se- cure the comfort, convenience and pleasure of the veterans. There are no less than 4S active committees, and the work has been so divided into de- partments that every detail is sure of attention. The arrangements are so complete that the old veterans will suffer no inconvenience from neglect or oversight.
 There will be an entire absence of needless red tape. No tickets will be required The veterans will be met at every train by committees who will direct them to headquarters, where a public reception will be held later. After registering each veteran will be given a badge and that badge alone will be sufficient to admit him to his tent, to free meals if desired, and to all free functions, receptions, balls, etc, provided for their entertainment and enjoyment.
 The camp of veterans will be estab- Iished in the city park within easy walking distance of headquarters, and which can be reached also by street cars. Each tent will be numbered, so that with the various avenues between the rows of tents designated, and each tent numbered, there will be no diff culty in a veteran being unable to To- cate his tent.
 In the camp will be established a commodous eating tent, and in addi- tion to the regular meals, hot coffee and sandwiches will be served after night free if desired. To protect all veterans and other from being over charged at restaurants, the committee on eating and lodging has required all restaurants endorsed by the com mittee to enter into an agreement as to prices of meals and cooked -to-order dishes. This list of prices will be conspicuously displayed in each res taurant, and in return, such restau- rants will be provided with copy right sign showing that it is endorsed by the committee.
 The street decorations and illumin- ations both in the city and on the riv- CT will be on a scale of splendor never before attempted. Amusements and entertainments of all kinds have been planned. Everything points to the Little Rock reunion being the best and greatest ever held.

House Kills "wet" Cities Bill.

By the exact vote with which it kill
ed the Dean wet" municipalities
bill, the house buried the Fulton
wet" cities bill-56 to 60. "Wets,"
recognizing that it meant the end of
their last chance in this legislature,
made no effort to change their votes,
to be in position to move reconsidera-
tion. That motion was made by Rid
die of Logan, dry" and voted down,
thus sealing the coffin of any imme-
diate amendment to the county option
law. Langdon of Warren, Republican
floor leader, was the only representa-
tive who changed front. He switched
from wet" on the Dean bill to "dry"
on the Fulton bill. He restored the
dry" reduction by the death of Ha-
gerty of Hancock. The "wet" loss was
recovered with the vote of Billingslea
of Butler, the only absentee before,
who then appeared to be in losing
battle with death. That it might be
ready for action, should the bill slip
through the house, the senate held a
morning session, then recessed until
four o'clock. Every senate member
and employe was IN the mouse until
the vote was announced. Work to
save the measure stopped only when
the roll call started. After the house
had voted to close the debate, Shanty
of Portage, Evans of Stark, Irwin of
Preble and Canty of Hooking, were
in the back of the hall, where wet
John o. Dwyer of Toledo and Sena-
tors Dean and Shaffer were begging
them for support. A call of the house
brought them to their seats and all ex'
cept Irwin voted dry" The Preble
member, on the Dean bill doubtful
list until the last minute, refused to
change, although it had been reported
that he would follow Langdon's ex
ample. Legislative sharps, making
advance estimates. gave the bill 55 OF
Sc votes, according to the way they
| guessed Irwin.

House Passes Oregon Plan.

The lower house passed a bill
for the Oregon plan of direct election
of United States senators. AS intro
duced by Representative Wyman of
Shelby it is practically identical with
the Stockwell bill, over which the
senate has been fighting since early
in the session. The vote was SO to
Is. OF those opposed, all were Repub-
hcans except the three members from
Montgomery county, the home of
Edward w. Hanley, recent senatorial
candidate. Gebhardt, one of the Day
ton members, made the only speech
against the bill. He followed the line
of Senator Cetone, Dayton member of
the upper branch. There is a chance
for the bill to pass the senate. if ii
can be put on the calendar. OF two
bills presented by Stockwell, one was
killed by refusal to engross. and the
other has been hurled in committee
since the first week of the session.

EraternaI Societies Approve Bill.


Representatives of ten fraternal in
surance companies, members of the
Ohio Fraternal congIess held a meet
ing to discuss the so-called Mobile bill,
introduced in the house and senate,
which has for it's purpose the requir-
ing of fraternal insurance companies
to make public reports of their con-
dition and authorizing the state insur-
ance superintendent to require neces-
sary improvements in condition and
methods. While no action was taken,
the bill was favored by every person
in the meeting.
The bill provides that fraternal in
surance societies, after January 1,
1917, shall distribute yearly reports of
valuation among policyholders. If a
report shows serious impairment, the
state insurance superintendent may
require society to better its condi-
ton at least 5 per cent every three
years.
1t is said that all or nearly all the
Al Ohio fraternals and the 40 foreign
fraternals doing business in the state
favor the bill, as it's provisions will en-
courage societies to educate their pol
icyholders as to the conditions and
needs of the insuring companies and
make it easier for I'll N, if necessary,
to work a readjustment of rates.

GEO. 3. COX IN HIDING.
Out Of State While Attorneys Try to
Create Favorable TechnicaIities.

Cincinnati.-All efforts on the part
of the official force of the prosecuting
attorneys Office to locate George B.
Cox, to serve him with the new indict-
ment by the grand jury, charging him
with perjury proved unavailing.
There Is no doubt whatever now that
attorneys for Cox intend to make use
of the fact that the Indictment was
not served during Judge Gorman's
term on the criminal branch OF the
common pleas bench. 1t has been con-
tended that unless the Indictment is
served before Judge German retires
from the criminal court of common
pleas the change of venue granted will
have no effect.
Prosecutor Henty T. Hunt has issued
statement that the serving of the in
dfctment before Judge German retires
from the criminal branch cf the court
will make no difference whatever
Prosecutor Hunt, following a rumor,
called Gov. Marshall, of Indiana, over
the long-distance phone and asked him
to have Cox apprehended if he was at
Laughrey Island, Ind Hunt was noti-
fed, however, that in order to carry
out his plan he must come to the
county In which Laughrey Island is
situated and swear to an affidavit that
Mr.. Cox was in that county.
Batavia is needless of the fame
which became hers through the
change of venue for the Cox perjury
trial to the Clermont county seat. Ba-
tavia, although scarcely more than 80
miles distant from Cincinnati, is al.
most as isolated from the rest of the
world as a Kentucky mountain town
and her people, who number only
500, dream of the glories of the past
when Maj. Blackburn made famous
speech in a murder trial there.

sPINsTER LOSES HER TEETH
Go Astray In Mails and Lady Puts II
UP to the Postmaster
General.

false teeth to the mails, and they went
astray. Postmaster General Hitch.
cock received the following appeal
from her:
Dear Sir-l suppose you have re
ceived a note from the Camden post
master that the upper plates of my
teeth have been lost In the mails.
They were mailed at Camden on jan
uary l. l should like very much to
hear from you. If you are unfortunate
enough to have store teeth, you know
how inconvenient it is to have to do
without them, and | have not had
them even a year. l paid $35 for
them, and I cannot afford to get any
more just now. So will you kindly
do what you can for me, and as quick
iy as possible?
"P. S.-They were very good teeth"
The postmaster general put one of
the best inspectors in the service on
the job to find the missing worries.

Legislature to Recess.

Speaker Samuel ]. Vining of the
Ohio house of representatives is in
Washington primarily to find out the
prospects of the passage by the new
congress of a congressional apportion-
ment bill. He is asking all Democrats
in the house to hurry action on such a
bill so that the present Ohio legisla-
ture can redistrict the state. He has
been informed that the apportionment
bill will be pushed through the house
at the special session without trouble,
but may run counter of Republican
filibuster in the senate. Vining says
the legislature will recess and come
back particularly to redistrict the
state.

Grocers Indignant.

Grocers over the state are indignant
because of recent ruling OF Secretary
Frost of the state board of pharmacy
that threatens to prevent their selling
flavoring extracts. The ruling pro
hibits the sale of hydrogen peroxide,
and may be extended to embrace the
extracts. If flavoring extracts are
barred from the grocery shelves of the
state the grocers will appeal to the
courts. The state board of pharm-
acy's ruling would confne the sale of
hydrogen peroxide and extracts to
drug stores.
If any such drastic law goes into
effect then the grocery associations of
the state would act Immediately to
have the law repealed.

Wants Quick Action on Tax Bills.


Gov. Judson Harmon has declared
that he would not accede to the
big city demands for concessions
in the 1 per cent. tax limit bill.
He is willing to grant only one minor
concession, but may accept a compro-
mise on another point of attack. Re-
gardless of the final outcome on the
tax limit bill, the governor is insisting
that the legislature pass without de-
lay all other bills which are included
in the comprehensive administration
program of tax reform. The governor
is behind Representative Smith of Ma
rion, author of the limit bill, in urg-
ing that Is mills be made the final
limit, even by referendum. What to
do about sinking fund and interest
levies is the problem about which the
governor is undecided. He is investi-
eating the effect in different cities OF
permitting these levies to be made out
will be limited to present indebted
ness, as the law cannot be circum-
vented by issuing bonds for current
expenses. Among the measures which
Governor Harmon is demanding early
action are the Edwards bill reorgan-
izing the local assessment system, the
Hollinger codification of tax laws en-
larging the power of the tax commits
sion, the Dore bill to tax corporation
owned real estate and the Warnes bill
for assessing bank shares
