THE PUMPKIN HUSKER"
 AT THE GRAND FRIDAY

The Pumpkin Huskers, a rural com edy in four acts, with Myrtle Stull in the stellar role, will hold the boards at the Grand theater next Friday, No vember 29 This company carry all their own scenery and mechanical eff fleets, and are accompanied by a band. The scenes of the Pumpkin Huskers are laid in Indiana and deals with the home life of these hardy tillers of the soil, the real founders of American greatness. Of course, even in the pioneer days the old, old story was just as sweet as it is today, and while the play centers around the rise of a sturdy young American from poverty and obscurity to riches and fame, there is sweet little love story inter- woven that, like a wait of some fra grant perfume, lends it's softening in fuence of tenderness and purity to one of the best dramatic stories since the days of the Old Homestead.

SENATOR RAINIER DEAD
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON WILL ATTEND FUNERAL OF MARY
 LAND SENATOR.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Funeral ser vices for Senator lsador Rayner of Maryland, who died here early yester- day, after protracted illness, will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Rayner home in this city.
 The control of the United States senate after March 1 may hinge on the death of Senator Rayner. The Re- publican, whom it is expected Cover nor Goldsborough of Maryland will appoint in his place will hold office at least until the Maryland legislature meets, in January, 1914.
 Senator Rayners death removes one of the Democrats on whom the control of the senate depended in the new con- greSs. With his vote the Democratic leaders counted on mastering one more than a majority of a total mem- bership of 96. In any event, AS votes, With the vote of the vice president in case of tie, was looked upon as suffi- cient strength to insure control.
 While the Democrats still have an apparent strength of AS, the death of the Maryland senator reduces the sup posed majority to a point very near the dividing line of party control.

CONWAY TO "YAPOR
 CITY, THANKSGIVING

The Conway High School football team will leave Thursday for Hot Springs, where they will meet the "Vapor City" lads on the gridiron Thanksgiving. The Hot Springs team is a strong contender for the cham pionship of Arkansas in the second ary division and the locals realize that they are going up against a good team, but hope to put up good fight.
 Coach Scott put his men through a hard scrimmage practice yesterday and today he will lay special stress upon freezing on the pigskin and fall ing with both hands on the ball when tackled. The locals have a tendency to tumble great deal, and the coach is trying to eliminate this fault.
 As no game will be played here on Turkey Day, it is thought that large number of spectators will accompany the team to Hot Springs.
 H. E. Russell, a former Hendrix student, is visiting friends in the city.

FARMERS STATE
 BANK ORGANIZED
CAPITAL IS S5O,OOO.OO
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR NEW INSTITUTION
 FILED WITH CLERK.

Articles of incorporation of the Farmers State Bank of Conway, Faulkner county, Arkansas, were filed with the county clerk yesterday. The capital stock is $50,O00. S. G. Smith is president, Wiley Mosely, vice-presi- den; Frank Farris, secretary-treasur- CT. Directors, w. J. Drummer, w. L. Whitten, w. J. Wilkins and J. A. Pence. The new bank will open for business about the first of January, 1913, in the building on Front street recently purchased by the incorpora- tors from c. w. Donaghey. This building is now being remodeled and fitted up with steam heat and every modern convenience, and when finish ed will be one of the handsomest, most up-to-date banking houses in the state. This bank expects to reach a class of business in field as vet not covered by other banks in this city. It is capitalized by some of the leading business men of the town, and will undoubtedly be the success it's pro- moters have planned that it should be. The wonderful growth of Conway within the last few years and the in- creased volume of business coming here from all parts of the state would indicate that there is plenty of room in Conway for the Farmers State Bank.

A WAY TO GET RID OF NoxloUs WEEDS.

With the road law which provides
for dragging roads another important
law should be actively enforced this
spring-the Iowa weed law. This law
which has been in force for several
years has lacked enforcement. The
weeds have grown along the roadsides
and particularly dangerous weeds have
hourished on farms where little or
no effort has been made to destroy
them.
Tho weed law specifically states that:
It shall be the duty Of the township
trustees or other officers responsible
for the care Of public highways in each
township or county in this state to de-
Stroy or cause to be destroyed all
noxious weeds mentioned in section two

CITY LABORERS AND FARMS.
Burlington HaMkeNe.l

Much eloQuence is being wasted in
the cities, by good people. who advise
those who have made failure in the
city, to go back to the soil. In the
first place, the people VINO fail in the
cities, rarely have sprung from the soil.
The people who go to the towns from
the farms, usually succeed in towns.
And then, the man who has not sue
ceeded in the city can not establish
himself as a farmer or gardener, and
if he could, not knowing the business,
re would simply repeat his failure on
the farm.
But il is urged that the farmers are
crying for help and the unemployed
labor in the cities should be sent TO
the farms. But what does the average
unemployed city laborer know about
farming? II would be just, as wise OF
suggest that unemployed city labor
ers should be given LOGON olives to run,
or should be employed in high class
machine shops. The farm hand, let it
be rem EN- ered, is a skilled laborer.
He has mastered his trade, and he
knows more about different kinds of
work. and more about many different
branches Of his trade, than he is gen.
eraly given credit for. He compares.
so far as knowledge Of his own work
is concerned, with the high class skilled
laborer Of the city, and 1t is the rank
est nonsense to expect that city
laborer, who knows nothing about
farming, should be able to take the
farm hands place or to make himself
useful on the farm. The farm hand is
nothing If not a high-class skilled la
borer He is a specialist and as a
| rule he knows it, and the man who
! employs him, knows it. In addition
he is usually a man who is absolutely
reliable and trustworthy. The farmer
goes away for weeks and months and
| leaves his hands in charge Of property
that is worth many thousands, and
the cases are extremely rare where
that confidence has been misplaced
And whatever happened during the
owners absence, that farm hand
| knew what to do and he did it.

MAKE II GOOD NOW!

Chicago. following the lead OF New
York. has passed an ordinance forbid
ding the sale Of weapons which may be
readily concealed.
The ordinance requires tnat a pur
chaser of revolver or other deadly
weapon must have a permit for the de-
sired ownership from the chief OF po-
lice. To obtain the permit person
must be of good character, have the
recommendation of two taxpayers who
have lived in the city year and pay
a fee of 81. No ex-convict, vagabond
or minor may obtain deadly weapon
1t is a step toward public safety in
as much as it prevents youths and
maniacs from purchasing weapons Of
this sort freely, but it will not prevent
the crook OF the ex-convict, vaga bond
follow a criminal career from finding
weapons more effectually than the
present law against carrying concealed
weapons, prevents an altogether too
general packing of pistols about in hip
pockets The professional criminal
from the counterfeiter down to the
yegg will have his ''gat" as he has his
jimmy and other tools of his trade.
The way to stop pistol packing is
to find the pistol on the man who
carries 1t and send him up for ninety
days If he has not permit. The way
to stop pistol toting is for officers to
make an earnest effort to get the
pistol toter and for magistrates to sup
plement the officers success with the
limit of law and Of a law with an eX
tended limit If the number Of pistols
which are being logged about the
streets of every town and city Of Iowa
today could be made known the fig
ures would be both astonishing and
alarming. 1t is a commoner offense
than intoxication or petty theft. But
how often is any pistol toter called be-
fore the courts for his infraction of the
law?
While we are crusading 1t might be
well to start something for the pistol
toter. He is easy to find and the police
might readily make a record on him.
The main thing is not SO much in the
making Of more laws but in making
present laws good now.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1912-03-07

highways, and for neglect or failure to
perform this work they shall be sub
jected to the penalties in this act.
The farmer who neglects his farm
and makes it menace to his neishbor
is provided for. The law says:
If any occupant of lands ad-
jacent to the public highways
neglect or refuse to destroy the
noxious weeds upon his land,
or shall fail to prevent the said noxious
weeds from blooming or coming to ma
turity, when such weeds are likely to
be the means of infesting the public
highway, or upon complaint OF any
land owner to the township trustees
that his lands have been or are likely
to be infested by weeds from the lands
OF another, including railway right of
way, the trustees shall make investi-
CATION of such condition or complaint
and if the same appears to be We'll
founded they shall make an order fixing
the time within which the weeds shall
pc prevented from maturing seed, and
an order that within one year such
noxious weeds shall be permanently de-
stroyed and prescribing the manner of
their destruction and shall forthwith
give notice TO the occupant of the lands
where the noXious weeds exist, and II
ne shall neglect to obey such order
within the time so ordered the trustees
may cause such ::oxicns weeds 10 he
permanently destroyed and the cost O!
the work shall be recovered from the
owner by a special tax TO be certified
by the township clerk in the same
manner as other road tax not paid.
There is no trouble about enforcing
this law 1t provides for that. Any
citizen may set it in operation by fore
ing negligent trustees to do their duty.
For the penalty referred 10 above runs
thus:
Any person, firm or corporation Vio-
lating any OF the provisions of this act,
or any township trustees. inspector or
other officer who neglects or fails To
perform the duties incumbent or him
under the provisions OF this act shall
be punished by a fine not exceeding
one hundred dollars (sI00.Q0).
Perhaps a list OF the noXious weeds
" which this statute is intended to de-
stroy will assist those agriculturalists
who desire TO see the law put in ope--
alton and to avoid the seeding OF their
carefully cultivated farms from ne
elected roadsides and slovenly farms.
The list under the ban includes:
Quack grass. Canada thistle, cocklebur.
wild mustard. sour or cu-led dock.
smooth dock. bucliborn or ribbed plain
tain. wild parsnip. horsenettle. velvet
weed or button weed and burdock.
The farmer who is th-ea tened by
noxious weed growth has il in his own
hands. There is less need OF complain
ing 10 the newspapers than of COM
planning to a justice of the peace.

of 16. almost a woman. receiving in
the aggregate in wooden mill 81 a
week. And the girl had been disfgured
by the tearing Of the scalp from her
head by machinery. She had received
no damages but was working again

come to the proud figure of 81 week
Seven dollars a week. 1t ought to be
emblazoned on every billboard, in every
newspaper, on every product Of those
mills until the American people, fran
tic With the disgrace. would demand of
the government in power an improve
menr of conditions, making 81 a week
at least SIS week.
But the disgrace exists even if not
advertised. 1t exists. deep shame TO
US who tolerate it. Are we going to
vote for men who promote prosperity
at the cost of such sacrifice to the
devil or shall we vote for those who
will uphold the honor as well as the
material progress of the republic?

TESTING SEED CORN.

Test the corn by all means. To use
INFESTED seed corn is like carrying a
kerosene lamp into the haymow. But
any farmer with common sense tan
test his seed corn. If he hasn't com
mon sense it will not make much diff
ference in his finish whether he tests
it or not. Any farmer fit TO operate IN
Iowa can test his corn without buying
patent testers from anybody. Here is
simple way offered ~ 2 prominent
market paper. Any body can do 1t.
Most farmers have used it with modl-
factions or additions:
Use piece of cheap domestic. flour
or wheat sack. or old table cloth,
about Sc inches long and u inches
wide. This is size for testing six ears
of corn, (enough TO plant one-haif
acre). Spaces for seed, four inches
square, numbered the same as the ears
for Identification
Wet cloth and wiring moderately dry
Take two graf nfrom tip, TWO from
center and two from the butt OF the
ear and place in proper square. Turn
I'D the lower third of cloth, then fold
down the upper third, SO as TO hold seed
firmly in place and prevent mixing.
Roll this around well moistened
core. Ga strip of cloth about four inches
wide and long enough TO make a COM
pact roll one and one half 10 two inches
thick. Then bury in bucket or box
Of damp sawdust or sand and place in
a moderately warm place for FIVE days
The Iowa farmer does test his seed
corn one way or another. He generally
knows what his seed is. Sometimes he
takes a chance with poor seed because
he hates to pay high price for seed
corn The real test is in the fall. not
in the spring. Bad seed corn goes back
to neglect to gather good seed. save It
carefully and avoid the seed houses in
the spring. The big corn crop for this
year was in the fields last September
Tes, it, Test it carefully. If It
isn't good find out and buy good seed
That is the penalty for last falls care
lesspess and neglect.
