GOVERNMENT RAILWAY
OWNERSHIP IN ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Lane
says:
Governmental ownership of rail
roads in Alaska seems to me to be
the one policy that will most GER
tainly make for her lasting welfare.
There is but one way to make any
country real part of the world
by the construction Of railroads
into it. This has been the heart
of England's policy in Africa, of
Russia's policy in western Asia
and is the prompting hope of the
new movement in China. Who
ever owns the railways of coun-
try determines very largely the
future of that country. l am con-
WINGED that we should think of
Alaska as land not only of mines
and fisheries, but of towns, farms,
mills and factories, supporting
millions of people of the hardest
and most wholesome of the race.
1T this conception of a possible
Alaska is true one, our legislation
should be such as to most surely
bring about this possibility, and it
seems to me there is less of hazard
as to Alaska's future if the gov
ernment of the United States owns
the railroads which will make its
fertile interior valleys accessible
from the coast and bring it's coal,
iron, copper and other mineral re-
sources within the reach of the
world.
IL believe it to be the plan under
which Alaska will develop most
safely and most speedily, and under
which the resources of that terri
tory will most certainly become
available to the whole people"

WOULD GIVE FARMERS
 PURE ALFALFA SEED
John H. Page Makes Request of Secretary of Agriculture--UrgeS Pushing of Soil Surveys in
 Four Arkansas Counties.

Little Rock, Oct. 9 lSpeciaD - While in Washington recently, Az ricultural Commissioner John H. Page called upon the secretary Of agriculture and was advised that the soil surveys of the various counties of the state are progress ing slowly on account of the great demand throughout the state, and the limited appropriation and men available for the work. Mr. Page urged the secretary to have the sur veys made especially in the cOun- ties of Craighead, Pope, Columbia and Drew, where the agricultural schools are located, and Mir. Hous- ton agreed to look after it, con sidering that there was merit Tn the suggestion. Mr. Page thinks the survey of these four counties will be made in a short time.
 Among the things which Mr. Page requested was the distribution of ten thousand one-pound packages of pure alfalfa seed among the farmers of Arkansas under the di- rectiOn of the department.

Carroll County Citizens to Work on
 Roads November 6 and :.

Berryville, Oct. 26.-The weather was so hot and the roads so dry that the Good Roads days set last sum- mer by Governor Hays were not ob- served at this place. Bat it was agreed that the work would be done later. County Judge \. H. Pittman has set November 6 and : as the time, and the business men of Ber- ryville propose to help the farmers on those days.
 The first day will be spent on the road that gets the largest amount of donated work, while the next day will be on the road that gets the second largest.
 The business men of the town will then make a proposition to help other roads leading into town. All the overseers in the eastern part of the county will be on the work with their graders and complete set of tools. Several miles of good roads will be constructed.

CROP ROTATION IS. URCEDONFA FARNERS.
<. B. McNair EndeaVOring to Get Faulkner County Farmers to Follow Plans Advised by
 Uncle Sam.

Little Rock, Oct. 225.-A. B. Me Nair of the Department of Agricul- ture, has just returned from Con- way, where he has been endeavor- ing to get the farmers of Faulkner county to adopt system of crop rotation devised by the govern ment. which has been found to give excellent results.
 The plan is known as System D, or the four-year system and is as follows:
 First Year GA acres)-First field, cotton; second field, corn; third field, cowpeas; fourth field, oats and cowpeas.
 Second Year 14 acres First field, corn; second field, cowpeas; third field, oats and cowpeas; fourth field, cotton.
 Third Year (1l acres First field, cowpeas; second field, oats and cow peas; third field, cotton; fourth field, corn.
 Fourth Year lll acres s)-First field, oats and cowpeas; second field, cotton; third field, corn; fourth field, cowpeaS.
 It is estimated that after this plan has been followed for five years the yield per acre will be about seven-tenths bales of cotton, 35 bushels of corn, one and one half tons of cowpeas and 35 bushels of oats. The actual yields will vary with the quality of the land, but this plan has been found to be more productive than any others tested.
 Mr. McNair says that the cotton crop in that section is turning out better than expected, but bad weather has held up picking opera tiOnS.

MAY CLOSE COOPERAGE MILLS.
The ParagOuld Strike Appears to Be
 a Deadlock.

Little Rock, Oct, 2l.-The coop CTS strike at Paragould, according to State Commissioner of Labor Sta tistics, J. C. Clary, who went to that city in an effort to effect a settle ment between the stave factories and the coopers, is apparently a deadlock, and it is his opinion that the manufacturers will close their mills permanently before they ac- cede to the demands of the men.
 Commissioner Clary states the men demanded recognition of their union, a contract signed by both parties for the year and a raise in wages for certain classes amount ing to about two cents per hour. The manufacturer refused to grant any of he demands. The unions then waived all demands but for a grievance committee, to be recognized by the manufacturers, which also was ignored, the con- panies saying they would receive any man with a complaint, but not any committees They state they will operate their mills as they see fit or close them down.

 There is marked tendency throughout the state to break away from the two-terms-only rule Senator James p. Clarke, Secretary of State Hodges and Associate Jus tice Jesse Hart are candidates Tor third terms, and in all probability George B. Cook will in short time announce his candidacy for fourth term as superintendent of public instruction. Attention is also called to the fact that Sheriff Edgar Brew ster of Jefferson county, Sherlll Walter Wilson of Drew county, and Circuit Clerk A. H.

St. Paul, Oct. 23.-As the last trailing notes of that homely old ballad, Loves Old Sweet Song,' fla ded into the distance, Bill" Mulli- gan, an organist in a picture theater here, smiled at his silver haired wife who sat near him. Then, as a round of applause came from the audience, she leaned toward him and said:

 Never did Bill" play with more effect. The old organ seemed to speak his soul. As he came to the line, Still to us at twilight" he again turned to his wife and smiled. As he looked the smile seemed to grow more serene, more content. The organ gave a low moan as "Bill'' fell to the floor. He died in his wife's arms, The coroner said it was heart disease.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

Summer is dead-the rich green sea Of earth has changed it's Verdant
 hue; And gloomy would the dull scene be But for the Autumn Leaves in
 view. The song of the birds is stilled, The stately forest trees are bare; The sky is gray, the air Is chilled, And Autumn Leaves are every
 where. o. lovely leaves, all gold and red, That scattered lie upon the
 ground; You sadly tell us Summer is dead And make her bounty more re-
 nowned. We cull the leaves ere Winters cold Shall rudely sweep them all away, And keep them safe-the crimson As trophies of fair Summers
 sway. When life is done and our Sum
 mer's dead, The silent tomb our form re-
 ceives; May noble deeds of heart and head Our memory strew as Autumn
 Leaves.

COULD YOU FIND AS MANY
 KINDS OF LEAVES AS THIS BOY?
Mena School Lad in Sixth Grade Brings in Collection Showing
 45 Varieties of Trees,

Recently Miss Marjorie Redus, teacher of the Sixth grade in the Mena schools, requested the B class students to gather and bring to school as large a variety of tree leaves as possible. Master Alton Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Anderson, was the most success ful, and at the request of The Star he furnished the following state ment and list:
 Our teacher asked all of the stu dents of the B Sixth grade to gather as many kinds of tree leaves as we could find. After collecting sev- eral leaves near home, I went hunt ing with papa up by the water works dam then east 10 the top of the mountain and home by the way of St. John Hill. On this trip I found several kinds of leaves I did not find nearer home. The follow
