Army Officer Finds Second
Regiments Condition
Perfect After War

Whether an invading army could
land IN either Grays or Wiliapa Har-
bors and proceed inland and capture
the Puget Sound country, including
the cities Of Seattle and Tacoma, was
by the ten days maneuvers in the
Chehalis river valley.
The maneuvering campaign closed
Sunday and the question is no near.
er solution than before it began. Tn.
der the rules of the game no de-
cisions is given by the unpires. They
merely give decisions on the advance
and withdrawal OF troops.
The movement of both armies was
under the direction of Brig-Gen. NJ
p. Maus. Under the rulings of the
umpire the blue army, representing
the defense. was overwhelmingly de-
feated by the invading Reds.
AS an example of actual wartime
campaigning and of movements of
troops under fire all army officers
and authorities on the ground voted
the present maneuvers the most in
structive ever held in the Northwest.
Second Regiment Praised
Lieut.. c. B. Crusan, u. S. A., held
the Federal inspection of arms and
equipment at Camp Gate Sunday
morning. After the inspection he
said: In all my experience as an
inspecting officer | have never before
found an entire regiment with arms
and equipment in as perfect condi-
tlon after such campaign as | have
found the Second Infantry
Although the campaign was the
hardest the state militia had ever
gone through, with the exception OF
a few sore feet all were in fine con
dition.
The only sick man to be taken
home with the Second was Private
Clay of II company OF Spokane. He
vas taken to the field hospital Sun
day night and showed symptoms of
typhoid fever. 1t was the opinion
of the doctors that he had contract
ed the disease before going into
camp
Protection for the Coast.

They asserted that American lake

Arkansas Man Wins

1t remains for Arkansas to carry
off highest honor in the recent
Booklovers' Contest given by the
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
Chancellor Charles ID. Frierson of
Jonesboro being the lucky man.
The first prize was SO, 500 bunga-
low IN Memphis. In speaking of
this matter, the Appeal says:
cit is a matter of no surprise to
The Commercial Appeal that Arkan'
sas was successful IN winning the
first prize. Arkansas is one Of the
greatest of the states-great in her
agricultural products and diversity,
great in her mineral resources, great
IN her timber and great in her
people. That one of their number
should lead in a contest OF this
character Is no surprise ~ this
paper and should surprise no one.
The educational facilities Of this
state are placing her people in the
front rank among the cultured pee
pie of the country. The reProach
of illiteracy has long since been
lifted from her borders. That a
larger percentage Of the prizes was
not won by Arkansas people is the
only wonder"

LEGISLATORS ON
SHORT SESSION

Little Rock, Oct. l0.-From let
ters which Attorney General Nor.
wood has received from a majority
of the members Of the next session
of the members of the Legislature
they believe that the work OF next
session can be transacted IN 80 days:
A very small per cent Of the meri'
bers expressed the opinion that 80
days is not enough time, and a
smaller per cent think the per diem
too small in view of the limitations
of time.
sin my opinion" SAID Gen. Nor
wood, "the members of the Arkan
sas General Assembly are just as
capable as those of other states and
can transact as much business in
the same length of time for the av.
erage compensation paid in other
states. Therefore, / cannot agree
the compensation Is too small or
the time too limited, as fixed by
Amendment No. 10.
A careful comparison Of the pro
visions of Amendment No. l3 with
similar constitutional provisions of
other states will show that the
time limit as fixed by our amend.
ment Is about the average, and the
per diem is above the average.
Those other states appear to be get
ting along very well and what can
be done anywhere else can be done
IN Arkansas.

Fall Flowing

Whether land for spring cultiva.
tion should be broken in the fall has
long been a fruitful farm topic, and
perhaps will continue to be for
many years yet. Results are so
different at different times in the
same localities and on the same
farms that it seems difficult to de-
eide its value.
1t all depends upon certain condi.
tions or principles. Soil needs aera-
ton. To be productive it must
have air to make 1t mellow and pre- g.
pare its plant food for the use of the
plants. Deep fall plowing gives it
the best opportunity for this aera.
tion. But another element enters
into this proposition. The most
productive soil is at or near the
surface, and the surface makes the
seed bed, and must furnish the
plants their first food. If the
ground is broken deeply in the
fall this most fertile soil is turned
several inches below the surface,
and if worked down and planted
without turning over again in the
spring the seed bed is made IN the
weaker sub-soil, and the growth is
not satisfactory. And this same
condition results from extra deep
plowing in the spring-turnlng the
ground deeper than it had been
turned before.
Hence, if the ground Is plowed
deep in the fall, we would plow
again in the spring before planting
so as to bring the rich seed bed to
the surface. This plan makes fall
plowing always profitable. -Up-To.
