HON. JAMES P. CLARKE
BUSY RECEIVING CONGRATU-
LATIONS UPON HONOR BE-
SLOWED UPON ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, March 19.-Bubbling
over with enthusiasm over the new
administration, and assurance that
the coming special session of con-
gress will be the greatest in the his.
tory of the nation, Senator Jas. P
Clarke returned to Little Rock today
and has since been very busy receiv.
ing the congratulations of his friends
upon the honors the senate has be-
slowed upon Arkansas in it's recogni-
ton of the senior senator
Senator Clarke states that no adj
ministration ever started off as har-
moniously as has the present one,
which is something very different
from those of recent years. He spoke
particularly of the general good feel
ing between President Wilson his
cabinet and congress. In the opinion
of Senator Clarke, the special session
of congress will work necessarily to
carry out the policies of the president
Senator Clarke says William J. Bry-
an is fitting into the cabinet in a
manner pleasing to all friends Of the
administration.
There is absolutely no change in
the appearance of Senator Clarke, de-
spite the fact he is carrying the pres
tige of being president pro tenn of the
senate, and was member of the
steering committee" which selected
the committees of the senate. In the
of committeeships, Sen
ator Clarke was equally fortunate,
being made chairman of the commit
tee on commerce, one of the most i'm
this, Senator Clarke is third on the
on expenditures in the de-
partment of agriculture, which means
Arkansas will be materially benefited
in advancement of agricultural dem
work He is the ranking
Democratic member of the commit
tee on five civilized tribes, fourth on
the foreign relations committee,
eighth on Indian depreciation, ninth
on military affairs, which means vol
umes for the retention of the Arkan-
sas National Guard by the continual

tons; the ranking Democrat on the

NO REASON FOR IT.
ARE YOU SHOWN A WAY OUT?

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, the annoyance
of urinary disorders, the pains and
dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed
the word of resident of this locality
who has found relief. The following
is convincing proof:
Mrs. G.. H. Speaker, III IL +.
Fouth Street, Little Rock, says ::
kidney trouble in my case was of
long standing. For years my back an
noyed me greatly and there was con-
slant pain in my loins, from which
there seemed to be no relief. Physi-
clans told me that my trouble was
caused by my kidneys and | believed
this to be true, as | had much diff

Little Rock, March 1.-THE guber-
material situation has not changed
and the governors and would-be gov
ernors are playing waiting game
until the supreme court has had its
say, which is the last word. When
this tribunal has heard the argument
of counsel for the claimants to the til
tie, and scanned the field of legal lore
and precedent, it will render it's opin-
ion and thereby both seat a governor
and unseat one with the same stroke.
AS rule, the supreme court main
tains strictly to its schedule, but as
this case is matter of great public
business, it is expected that the court
will advance the case, and probably
hand down an opinion one week from
today, or if not called today special
sitting of the court may be held later
for that purpose.
Meanwhile, by agreement, the two
claimants to the title of acting COVER
nor will perform no important official
duty until they can read their title
clear. Acting Governor Oldham has
issued one or two pardons where urg-
ent action was demanded, but stated
last night that he does not expect to
take up any matter Of statewide i'm
portance until the court has settled
the controversy, although he conf
IDENTITY expects to be upheld in his
claim to the Office.
Mr.. Oldham says that the decision
of the lower court in his favor would
make any act of his valid, until the
decision is reversed, which he does
not anticipate. In order that his Off
cial acts shall not be questioned, how
ever, he expects to perform merely
perfunctory acts until an opinion is
rendered.
The legislative acts which have not
been approved will not suffer by de-
lay. Under the constitution they will
become laws 20 days after the legis-
lature has adjourned, unless vetoed
in that time. 1t is not probable that
any of these acts will be vetoed al
though some of the appropriation bills
may come under the knife. However,
there will be plenty of time to consid-
er the legislative acts that have not
been approved, after the gubernato-
rial contest has been settled. In fact,

P ,[rAt ! INV
OF THE SOIL
IS HALF THE BATTLE
JNO. Fl. PAGES WEEKLY LET
TER TO THE FARMERS OF
ARKANSAS.

Good preparation of the land is half
the battle. Plow we'll, harrow and re-
harrow until perfect seed-bed is OBJ
tanned. The preparation of the land is
the first fight to make this season for
better crops.
We are not in the corn belt because
we have not given proper attention to
livestock farming. If bigger corn
crops help produce better livestock,
more livestock means bigger corn
crops. For better livestock, plant
good seed, prepare a good seed bed,
utilize every available bit of manure
and humus making material, cultivate
often and shallow, and study plan of
rotation that will build up your soil.
Our corn crops are small, not 80 much
because of the way we handle our
corn, but the way we handle our land.
Get the land ready.
One of the most difficult and import
ant points in growing crop of cotton

heavy land the task is harder. While
preparing for work, see to it that your
planters are in condition to do good
work. You cannot afford to have a
poor stand from careless planting. The
preparation of the soil for a cotton
crop is of the greatest Importance. 1t
not only insures better stand, but de-
creases the amount of cultivation re-
quired by the crop later on, and finally
insures the farmer of more cotton.
And that is the reward for all the care
and work. Deep breaking and blowing
under of organic matter should be the
rule in the spring for cotton or corn.
Then there is no crop grown where a
liberal use of high-grade commercial
fertilizer pays better than on cotton,
but do not get the fertilizer craze. Get
humus (decaying organic matter) re-
stored through the growth of legumes
and feeding it to get manure.
Deep blowing, thorough preparation
and heavy fertilizing are all necessary
to grow good truck crops. In all cases
use good seed. 1t will be cheaper to
pay a good price than to plant those
of poor quality. Then arrange some

The treasurer has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to all who are interested

"We desire to ask the good people of
Conway and surrounding country to
help the Oak Grove Cemetery Memo
rial Association in their work of beau
tifying our cemetery. We respectful
ly ask all to lend helping hand in
this noble work, and we feel sure that
all of our citizens have too much pride
to sit with folded hands and closed
pocketbooks and see our cemetery
grow up in sage grass and sasafras
bushes, as it once was, and we are
very anxious for all of the lot owners
to give us their work to do. If you
own one whole lot, we will care for it
and keep it clean one year for So; half
lots, 81. On new lots where we have
to haul off the rock and put it in good
shape, we charge SO. We have en-
ployed ]. J.. Smith to take charge of
this work. Give us this work to do.
81 have been asked the question sew
eral times why it was we cleaned one
lot and left the adjoining it unclean-
ed. 1t is because the owner of the
clean lot has paid 81 or 81 to have
their work done and the other owner
has not. We can not and do not take
your money and put it on another lot.
That is why there are so many un-
cleaned lots in our cemetery. We urge
all to help us in this good work. Either
pay your dues to the committee or
send them to the treasurer.

many of the bills are still in the hands
of the enrolling clerks to be enrolled.
The anxiety of the people as to a
special election to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Joe T. Robinson, has
been alleviated Both claimants to
the office of acting governor have
stated emphatically that they expected
to call special election Just as soon
as the contest is decided. The consti-
tuition requires that so days notice be
given by proclamation; and the
chances are that during the early
summer the state will be in the throes
of another election.
Governors come and governors go
in Arkansas, but of late they seem to
have been coming and going faster
than usual. And having had their Gu
riosity satisfied as to a special cleo
ton, the next question asked by the
people generally is, what about pri-
mary?"
1t is expected that just as soon as
a special election has been ordered the
Democratic state central committee
will see fit to order primary election
to nominate the Democratic standard
bearer. Otherwise the Republicans

of a field full of Democrats, and we'll

their ballots with telling effect.
