psychological effect to be gained by
published tables showing that Mr..

fraud; Sd, to build upon the founda-
ton thus cunningly laid demand 20

Little Rock, June 8.-The new state
capitol controversy will not down. 1t
has been one of the ghosts that have
stalked up and down the state dur
ing the Donaghey administration,
and it has been predicted that it will
be vigorously revived in the legisla-
ture of 1913. But the old contractors,
Caldwell & Drake, have transferred
it from the field of politics to the
courts, and have brought suit in Pu-
laski circuit court agains the state
capitol commission, including Cover
nor Donaghey, for $25O,O00 for
breach of contract. originally entered
into between the parties August IA,
1903.
The contractors at the time execut-
ed a bond for 100000 for the faith
full performance of their contract,
and allege that they were doing SO
when they were wrongfully ousted
from the work by the commission.
The plaintiffs allege that the COM
missioners are trespassers and that
their action is brought about by the
passion and prejudice engendered by
the defendant, Geo. w. Donaghey."

how TO PREPARE WHITeWAse
Nothing That Can Compare With 1t
for Outside or Inside Work.
Retains Brilliancy.

A formula for whitewash prepared
by the United States department of
agriculture is as follows:
Take half a bushel of unslaked
lime; slake it with warm water and
cover during the process to keep in
the steam; strain the liquid through a
fine sieve or strainer; add a peck of
salt previously we'll dissolved in warm
water, three pounds of ground rice
boiled to thin paste, and stir in boil
ing hot one-half pound of powdered
Spanish whiting and one pound of
glue which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire. Then add five
gallons of hot water to the mixture,
stir well and let it stand for few
days, covered up from the dirt. 1t
should be put on hot.
One pint of the mixture will cover
square yard, properly applied.
Small brushes are best. There is moth
ing that can compare with it for out
side or inside work, and it retains it's
brilliancy for years. Coloring matter
may be put in and made Of any shade,
Spanish brown, yellow ochre, or COM
mon clay.

PACKING HONEY IN CARTONS
tect Comb From Dust and Pre- :.
vents Marring in Handling.

The best grades OF comb honey
should be put on the market in neat
ly printed cartons. They are great
convenience for the dealer they serve
to keep honey free from dust. and
also prevent marring the delicate
comb when handling from the grocery
to the consumers kitchen.
Cartons are so inexpensive, and 80
useful. that it is surprising that more
OF the best comb honey is not put on
the market in them.
OF course, those using cartons should
be very careful to see that only the
most perfect sections of honey are
put into them. A honey-purchaser
will seldom buy cartoned honey the
second time if she has been once de-
ceived-by getting. for instance. a
partly filled comb in a carton; or, per-
haps, a dirty-looking comb.
Cartons should be used more extern
5ively than they are now, as they also
furnish an added opportunity to send
~rinted honey-information with each
comb of honey sold.

DEES AND
FARnNOTES

A thin layer of dust serves as a
mulch as does straw.
For heavy sod ground the improved
disk harrow is much the best.
The operation of narrowing is next
in importance to that Of blowing.
Glover seed is a profitable crop on
land that is well fitted for it's culture.
A clover sod turned down makes an
excellent foundation for a corn crop.
The cowpea Is an annual, and a soil
as renovator 1t is probably without a
peer.
Good seed corn is one of the most
important factors in producing a good
yield.
No man can tell whether corn will
grow or not without making a germi-
nation test.
Training tomatoes on wires to run
from five to ten feet high is becoming
a common practice.
If wood ashes are applied to the po-
tato crop it produces conditions favor
able to potato scab.
In corn-growing territory cowpeas
are mostly grown with corn, sowing
broadcast or otherwise.
The clover seed crop depends very
largely upon the condition Of the
ground and the weather.
Kaffir kernel ranks close to corn as
a food, as shown by the analysis Of
the proximate constituents.
Stirring the soil to the depth of but
a few inches will create such a mulch
and will help to conserve the rainfall

LATCH FOR SWINGING GATE
Excellent Device, Needed, on All
Farms, May Be Made by Follow

A good latch for farm gates may be
made as shown in the accompanying
sketch. The slide A is suspended by
the hangers BIB, which are placed on
each side of the gate. The back end
of the latch works between the guides
C and the front end between the end
pieces of the gate. The slide engages
with a slot in the gate post when the
gate is shut.
The hangers BIB are made in any
convenient length. The holes are Il

used as fasteners. The holes for the
hangers should be drilled one-third

.ator. And the people resented it.
The great convention began shouting
itself hoarse for Bryan, informing
ling their yells with more specific
calls for Bennett Clark" For ten
minutes the senator attempted to
talk against the storm, but it was
useless. He could not be heard. The
people would not permit a man who
is still their idol to be assailed. At
ter time the senator sat down and
the audience would not be stilled I'M
til the eloquent son of Champ Clark
had taken the platform and made a
rousing speech of thanks and predic-
ton of Democratic victory.
Hon. w. H. Martin of Hot Springs
was the permanent chairman and
Hon. Paul Little of Sebastian was
permanent secretary. Assistant Sec
retaries were w. F. Turner, A. J..
Witt, j. G. Burlingame, A. S. Hayes,
Van Simms and VIM. Stoddard.
Steve Carrigan of Hope, who serv-
ed as temporary chairman, made a
speech in which he declared the af-
fairs of state are in the most serious
condition they have been since the
days of reconstruction. "The people
of the state and nation are facing a
crisis" said he, "that may force them
to write another Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
The chairman appointed commit
tee on platform with w. G. Hen
bricks chairman, the members at
large being James P. Clarke, j. H.
Hinemon, T. H. Humphrey, Joe
Flynn and J. V. Bourland. This
committee met last night and report
ed this morning.
All nominating speeches we're dis
pensed with save for governor. At
torney General Hal L. Norwood, who
had opposed him for a short time,
placed Congressman Joe T. Robinson
in nomination for governor, predict
ing that he will give the people "an
orderly, intelligent, constitutional ad-
of the states affairs"
Seconding speeches were made by c.
P. Newton of Lonoke and c. H.
Brough of the University of Arkan-
sas.
Mr.. Robinson was then escorted to
the stage by a committee, and was
given a magnificent ovation. He dis
cussed at some length national issues
and outlined briefly some of the poll
cies he will pursue in state affairs.

SEES II. BILL AS
STATES ONLY RELI1F
CLARENDON SUN SAYS Gov
ELECT ROBINSON SHOULD
ADVOCATE MEASURE.
Editorial in Clarendon Sum-

Editorial in Clarendon Sum-
According to the speech Of accept
ance by Hon. Joe T. Robinson, the
next state governor, one of three
things must be done to provide state
revenue, viz: Increase the tax rate
as high as the constitution permits;
borrow money; adopt the budget sys-
tenn. The principle of the budget sys-
tenn is to determine what the proba-
BILE revenue will be and then cut all
appropriations so that revenue will
go around.
All voters will remember that Gov
Donaghey was ''roundly cussed" by
his opponent because he vetoed meas
ures appropriating money for pur-
poses beyond the income Of the state
the principle of the budget system.
Voters also remember that in the
campaign Governor Donaghey fought
to a finish on the Turner-Jacobson
bill, because the opponents CLAIM
ED it would increase the taxes. In
regard to the state borrowing money,
Mr.. Robinson himself does not favor
that proposition, stating that it
would relieve the situation only tenn
porarily.
Now, there you are. 1t is very ev-
ident that Mr.. Robinson is beginning
to see things in their true light, or
else knew them all the while, but was
playing the game of politics to win
while campaigning. Then he was ION
the outside looking in" now he's con
the inside looking out" which, of
course, to politicians, makes a world
of difference.
Reference is here made to these
matters to call attention to this fact:
No matter who is governor, the prob
lem of the state finances can only be
taken care of by this principle: Tax
alton to meet the needs of the state
in such a manner that every man
shall pay a just share in proportion
to his possessions; an economical adj
ministration of the states affairs.
If the people will come to the res
cue of Governor-to- Robinson, by
passing the Turner-J acobson bill,
which is printed in full in the Sun
this week, the whole question will be
solved.
Read this bill over, section by sec
ton, and as you read it see if you
can find a single phrase requiring
just one person to pay taxes on
something he does not own or get the
benefit from. If you don't vote for
this bill, you are going to have to
pay taxes next year raised as high
as the constitution will permit. IT
you pass the bill, the increase of in
come from property NOT NOW
TAXED will make it unnecessary to
raise the rate of taxation.

HE MARRIED TOO OFTEN
LUTHER YOUNG, FORMERLY
OF BEE BRANCH, IN JAIL
FOR BIGAMY.

Quite a little interest was created
here Tuesday morning by the an
nouncement that Luther Young, a
former citizen of this place, was
awaiting trial in the Bentonville Jail
upon a charge of bigamy, says the
,, Bee Branch correspondent of the
Clinton Democrat. Additional in
teerest is given the matter by reason
of the fact that Bee Branch is the
present home of Young's second wife
and their only child.
Young, according to press report,
was arrested at Colorado, Tex, upon
a warrant sworn out by one Miss An
ma Shepherd of Wareagle, Benton
county, to whom defendant is alleg-
ed to have been married February
last, and is the present home Of the
defendants father, minister form
erly in charge of the Bee Branch cir
|cuit.
Though less than % years of age,
Young is alleged to have been mar
ried three times in as many years.
That he has been married twice is a
matter of record in this county. His
first venture was at Marked Tree,
where wife No. l, so it is reported,
now lives. From her he was granted
a decree of divorce on the 9th day of
May, 1910, and upon the same day
secured license and was married to
Miss Myrtle Ogden of this place.
The press dispatche states that his
wife here will appear against him
when his trial is called, but for lack
of time to investigate, this we are
unable to confirm. However, should
defendant fail to prove legal sepa-
ration from wife No. 2, the court rec
ords, it would seem, be sufficient evil
dence to furnish him employment for
more or less extended period in be-
half of the state This, of course,
upon the presumption that the per-
Torrance of the alleged third cere-
mony is established.

Two scorching resolutions con-

The state platform was reported
and adopted this morning. The only
discussion was over a plank endors-

plank. The platform contains no ref
