Arkansas Battieship Silver Service.

Arkansas is one of the twenty six states having a battleshir named in her honor and the only state who has not donated a silver service to her ship.
 The recent legislature declined to make an appropriation of the sum asked towards the purchase of a silver service for the great bat tleship Arkansas, something that is held in the highest esteem by the officers and men of every battle ship named after any of the other states. It is up to the people of Arkansas to see that the error is corrected. Therefore a Commis- sion was organized to raise the ne- cessary amount to make the pur- chase. A committee has been ap- pointed by this Commission for Un- ion county. Beyond your state pride there is your home pride of seeing that Union county does her share. But she cannot unless you give your donation. Give what you can, send it to the editor of this paper and credit will be given you in the next edition. All per sons donating one dollar or more will receive a handsome Autograph ed souvenir suitable for framing bearing the engraving of the battle ship as token of appreciation and patriotism.

Paper Money to Be Smaller.

If present plans are carried out, the public will before long begin to notice a decided shrinkage in the currency. The bills instead of being about three by seven inches and a half as at present are to be reduced down to two and a half by six. Probably if the purchasing power is not reduced in the same pro
 portion the people will not raise much of howl. though one objeo- tion that is advanced against the

Purchase of New locomotives.

In line with the policy of the management of the Missouri Pa ciflc-Iron Mountain System of put ting substantial part of the earn ings into improvements and better ments, President Benjamin F. Bush has authorized the purchase of seventeen new locomotives for that road. The American Loco motive Works was awarded the or der for seven large passenger en- zines known as the Mountain type, and for five Pacific type passenger engines. The Baldwin Locomotive Works secured the contract for five heavy, powerful engines of the Mi kado make.
 The seven Mountain type loco- motives will be of the largest pat tern of passenger engine construct ed and will be used on the main

 IS feet 5 ? inches in height, with a total length of eighty feet, and will combine the heavy tractve force of 5O,35O pounds with a ca pacity for high speed. The total weight of engine and tender will be 457 .OOO pounds. The tender will be 28 feet in length, being built longer and lower than the or dnary locomotive, obviating to a great extent the liability of derall- ment.
The Huttig news., 1913-05-24

change is that the smaller the bills are the easier they are to lose. On this principle they should be made bigger instead of smaller.
 Uncle Sam has money inter- st in the matter because the smaller bills will cost him less money both for paper and printing, and the saving will amount to many thous- and dollars. In other ways also the new currency is to be an innova- tion. The same design will be used for the reverse side of bills of all de- nominations. They will all look alike on the back as there will be no figures on that side as at present. and the only lettering will be U. s. A.
 The designs for the fronts of the new bills will be different for each denomination. The $l bill, as being the most common, will bear wash ngton S portrait in the center. and the other bills will have the pie lures of other presidents. The amount of engraving on the fronts also will be greatly reduced and simplified. It is thought that the present large-sized bills will be practically all replaced by the new size in couple of years after the new series is issued, which will not be for some little time yet, how ever.

Talks About Alfalfa.

hope to see the farmers of Ar kansas raise more alfalfa The value of alfalfa as hay crop and as soil builder has become well established by this time. Many farmers are growing it profitably. There are many instances in all parts of the State. Yet many farmers hesitate to grow alfalfa for fear that it will not grow on their farm. Do not hesitate nor delay; if you are not growing it, prepare to put in an acre or two this fall.
 say prepare, for nowis the time to begin your preparations. Of course there is always more or less preliminary talk, but let us assume that the preliminary talking has already been done. Now is the time to begin actual preparations for sowing seed next fall. Set apart the land you want to SOW to alfalfa. and prepare it well. See that it is well broken. Then disc. and roll and then disc again. Pull verize thoroughly and kill out ev- cry bit of vegetation. Then plant to COW peas. Sow thick and try to get good stand
 If weeds grow among the pea vines, do not allow them to seed, but go among the pea vines and pull or cut the weeds. When the peas are ready for hay, cut them and cure them. You may let second growth come if you like, but be sure to watch the weeds and grass. Keep them cut so none will go to seed In the fall rebreak your land and disc it. Put it in a splendid fix; make a fine seed bed and pulverize and free from all weeds and grass. Get the soil in good condition and ready to plant by the middle of October. Then SOW the alfalfa.
 Be sure to take pains in select ing the seed. Good seed is essen tial Be careful where you buy and have nothing but the purest and best. Do not accept a mere guarantee but investigate where and by whom the seed were grown. Give them a good trial. If you do not get good stand do not be dis couraged, but try again next year on the same land. It may take the third year sometimes to get get good stand but when you do get a good stand you will never regret the effort.
 Do not make the mistake of try ing a new place every year. The first nor the second efforts will not always be satisfactory in stand. but if you continue your efforts on the same spot, you will find that ev- entually the soil will become inocu- lated and you will most likely get good stand.
