ALL OVER ARKANSAS
WILL DIG A DRAINAGE eASA-'
Land Owners of St. Francis County
 Would Prevent Overflow of Lands.

Forrest City. - Interested partles' land owners along the proposed route' and others, are making ready to or ganize an improvement district for the purpose of digging a drainage ca nal along what is known as the SIohl- ker road beginning at the west cor poration limits and running due west to L'Ar guille river on section mes. It is said there are no obstacles to be removed along the route, thus mak- ing il less expensive than usual. The land owners generally favor the en- terprise, such a canal being greatly needed. The damage to growing crops, lands and improvements by reason of the recent heavy rains has been far in excess of the cost ot the proposed canal, and these people pro- pose to prevent recurrence of this unfortunate state of affairs.

PREMIER AND BORDEN OF THE OPPOSITION NEAR END OF
 CAMPAIGN.
FARMER'S VOTE TO DECIDE
Former Minister of Interior in Laurer Government Takes Stump Against Issue Favored by His Party
 Election in Three Weeks.

Toronto, Ontario-With the elec- tion which will decide the fate of tine reciprocity agreement still more than three weeks off, the fight in this in dustrial and agricultural province has reached a point where practically everything else has been neglected in the heat of political interest
 R. l.. Borden, leader of the opposi- tion, has completed his Ontario tour, having delivered more than thirty speeches in constituencies considered doubtful and will devote the rest of his time to Quebec and the maritime provinces where his own seat at Hall- fax is thought to be in danger
 Premier LaurieY will return to On tario next week to speak in several rural communities. It is the farmers vote which is likely to decide the fate of reciprocity. Every voter in farm ing community is considered import ant, whereas ill the city nobody seems to care whether the voter exercises his franchise.
 This Is explained by the fact that every city in Canada. except Kingston and Ottawa tthe seat of government and the home of thousands of em ployes1 gives an overwhelming Tory majority.
 An unusual feature of the campaign is that Clifford Slfton, former minis. ter Of the interior, in the Laurier gov. ernment, has come out against reel procity MT. Sift0n is a lifelong Lib. eral and was the Liberal member for Brandon in the house of commons just dissolved. but has taken the stump against the issue favored by his party.
 In some of the farming communi- ties, the failure of the Farmers bank. which cost the farmers of several counties hundreds of thousands of dollars, is being discussed by the op- position and may lost the government votes.
 The alleged laxity Of the finance minister is being used as all argu. ment against the government.
