SETTING OUT The HEDGE

In preparation for the planting
of the hedge plants, dig a trench
about one foot wide and one foot
deep and fill it full of real rich
soil. Add some fine and we'll rot
ted stable manure to some leaf
mold and the top soil from where
the trench was cut and you will
have flood soil for this purpose.
When the hedge plants are OBJ
tanned from the nursery they will
be from one to two feet high.
Set them out in this trench filled
rich soil and cut them back to
within three to six inches of the
of the surface of the ground.

haf caused thousands of the plant
to die.
In digging up the plants p rae
ticallv all of the feed routs are
sure to be broken off and very
little can be taken up before new
roots are developed. This being
the case, there is not anything
like enough food TO feed all the
top of the plant until the new
roots are developed to help take
it up. So in cutting back these
plants you are more than doubl-
ing their chances to live, instead
of endangering their lives as a
good many people seem to i'm
agine. The cutting back hastens
the wood growth and the desired
sized hedge will be obtained more
quickly when cut back this way
than when let alone.

Don't let the approach of cool
weather lead you into the mis-
take of shutting out the life-giv-
ing fresh air at night. Keep the
windows open. These days the
fresh air that the Almighty gives
is about the best thing that we
can get for nothing, and it is a
far better health agent than any
chemical compound that was ever
put inside a bottle. 1t would
hardly do for one to begin in mid
winter opening all the windows:
but those who harden themselves
gradually by letting the fresh air
in each night as the cool weather
approaches will have fewer colds
this winter and more health this
spring. = Progressive Farmer. \

plishment of a good purpose.
At the opening of the cam
paign Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
had as their supporters, all t h e
great corporations, and the hun
dreds of thousands of well-paid
federal office holders, while Mr..
Wilson entered the contest sim
gle handed and alone; putting
his case squarely up to the pat
riotic citizenship of the nation.
The appeals of Roosevelt and
Taft brought out millions of mon
ey, and produced great activity
among the pie eaters, while Mr..
Wilson'S plain but patriotic de-
claration, touched responsive
chord in the hearts of the COM
mon people. The battle was on,
the lines We're drawn. the COM
mon-interest of the greatest re-
public on earth was at stake;
all classes, men of callings. men
of all creeds. men of all profes-
sions, were choosing their chief

country espoused the cause of
Wilson. The great corporations
contributed their money for Mr..
Roosevelt, the federal office hold
er rolled their steam roller and
pulled their POLITICAL strings for
Mr.. Taft; while the editors of the
country were putting patriotic
truths into millions of American

REDUCED RATES FOR TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION

Official announcement has been
made that a rate of one and one
third fare for the round trip has
oeen authorized for the Arkan-
sas State Teachers Association
meeting which will be held at
Little Rock, Dec. 26, 27, and 28.
The prospects are that the AS
sociation meeting this year will
be the biggest and best that has
ever been held in the history of
the Association. The programs
both for the general sessions and
for the section meetings will be
unusually strong and interesting
to the teachers. Work on t h e
programs has almost been COM
pleted and these will be printed
and ready for distribution in the
near future.
A very vigorous campaign for
an increased attendance is being
carried on by the officers of the
Association. Every teacher in
the State is being reached with
announcements ia n d literature
concerning the meeting. Many
of the attendance leaders recent.
ly appointed are actively at work
in their respective communities
for an increased attendance and
membership at the coming meet.
ing. J. l.. Bond, Secretary OF
the Al sociation. states that with
the publicity campaign that is
being carried on the attendance
at the meeting to lie held during
the Christmas Holidays should
easily reach the $500 mark-the
standard of attendance fixed fol
this Association meeting.

subject is sufficient.
 A test case will undoubtedly be made soon after the Speaker of the House has made his decla- ration as to the passage or failure of the acts and amendments. The friends of the bond amend ment express great confidence in the outcome, believing that the Amendment will be upheld by the courts, and the bonds to be issued under it's provisions will thereby be made most desirable securities.
 In this connec tion. it is inter- esting to note that the courts will have to pass, indirectly. up- lon the validity of the recall amendment, as it is in precisely the same condition. The courts, as a rule, with the legal profes- sion generally, are opposed to the recall, which was denounced by the last session of the Arhan- sas Bar Association. If the bond amendment is sustained, as the progressive business men are hoping. then the recall must also be sustained.
 One of these radical changes which sometimes change up the cherished traditions of years will be brought about by the emphatic adoption of the amendment init iated by Atty. Gen. Norwood limiting the Legislative session to 60 days. This will apply to the session of f19l3. and the mem- bers must begin at once to study plans for restricting the session t1 that time and transacting all necessary business. They are to receive pay for only 60 days, after which they must serve without compensation. It is opined there are few patriots willing to stay many days with out pay.

 All the acts were defeated by easy majorities. Of the amend ments No. 13 is the only one about which there is no doubt, as it received almost as many votes as the Democratic nominee for Governor. The grand father clause limiting the franchise of the negro was clearly defeated. The other three amendments, for the exemption of cotton factories from taxation. for the recall of elective officers. and for muni- :ipal bond issues, received ma jorities of the votes cast on thoee subjects, but fell short of . ma- jority of the total votes cast in the election, as indicated by the total vote cast for governor.
 Atty. Gen. Norwood has con- tended, before and since the election, that under the constitu- tion not more than three amend ments can be submitted at one time, and to pass they must re- ceive a majority of the total number of votes cast at the cleo tion. This was decided several years ago by the Supreme Court when on a test case, several amendments that had been in force for years were declared in- valid because they had received only a majority of the votes cast on that subject, when there are thebsands that do not vote on the subjects at all. Not to vote .at all under this construction, has the effect of a negative vote.
 On the other hand, it is claimed by the legal advisers of Mayor Chas. E. Taylor of Little Rock, interested in the outcome as the chief promoter of the Bond Amendment, that the I. and R. amendment adopted in 1910, un- der which the experiment Tn di- rect legislation has just been made, amended the constitution in both these respects. They hold that now there can be nc limitation to the number of amendments that may be sub mitted at one time, and that g majority of the votes cast on the

FLUvANNA NEWS NOTES

Well after a few weeks of moth
ing being reported from our town I
will jot down a few localltems. VIII
say aIst that our little town came
near being n thing of the past, when
It was struck by a small wind storm
last Thursday evening, May % at
$3.50 o'clock. Some thirty nine build
ings were lifted from their founda-
lions and more or less damaged.
Practically all outhouses in the
town were blown down.
The hotel, Methods and First
Baptist churches suffered the great
est in the disaster The only value
of each would he what little
lumber there might be saved from
the debris.
The concrete building on the west
side owned by S p. Smith was
blown to the ground, nothing left
Of any value but the stone. None of
the above property was protected by
cyclone insurance, except the Metho-
dist church which holds 100000
policy. The total amount OF dam
age to the town will run in to thou-
sands. Quite a number of our peo-
pie had a narrow escape, but there
we're only three persons in the town
that got scratch and they were
very light ones
The Methodist District Conference
was in session and quite a number OF
people had gathered at the church
for the evening service when the
church was wrecked, causing some
excitement for a few moments. The
people Of our town and surrounding
country are very busy This week re
placing the houses on their founda-
lions and doing other repairs caused
by the storm Cellar digging will
soon be the order OF the day.
