NEWS AND NOTES
 0F THE CAPITOL
A. M. WARD AND JOHN w. ALLEN ARE APPOINTED TO LAND
 OFFICE JOBS.
APPOINTMENTS A SURPRISE
Mir. Ward Is Veteran Newspaper Man of Johnson County and MT.
 Allen Is an Attorney.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Two more federal of flee "plums" dropped last week when the names of A. M. Ward of Clarksville, owner and publisher of the Johnson County Herald, and John w. Allen, attorney and real estate man of De Witt, were sent to the sen of receiver and register of U. s. lands at Little Rock.
 The appointment came as surprise to both men. While MT. Ward was an applicant for the receivership he had heard nothing of the progress of his candidacy for some time. MT. Allen was the most surprised man of any however because he had made no formal application for the office of register and had only discussed the matter with Sen. Clarke.
 Judge Allen served as clerk of the Arkansas County Circuit Court from 1890 until 1894. He then was elected county clerk, and later served term as county judge of Arkansas county At the expiration of his judicial term he engaged in the real estate and ab- stract business and is considered an authority on real estate and lands ill Arkansas. He succeeds Guy B. Caron, whose term as register expired June 12
 Mir. Ward is veteran newspaper man and edits one of the best and largest papers in Arkansas. The only public office ever held by Mr. Ward was when he was elected to the legis- lature for one term He has always resided in Clarksville and is highly esteemed by his fellow citizens. When the Arkansas Press Association met recently, MT. Wards candidacy was unanimously indorsed by that body.
 MT. Ward will succeed John E. Bush, negro incumbent of the office of receiver. A short time ago Bush was asked to hand in his resignation Lut refused on the ground that his term of office had not expired How ever, when informed of the new ap- pointments and asked whether he will tender his resignation, Bush replied
 No, it's too late to resign now. I refused to resign when asked to sev- eraI days ago because my term of of lice does not expire until May I9, 1914. Now that they havs.Nnue i-,-- sor, though, will hs ~A

ASKS GOVERNOR FOR PAROLE
Convlcts Have Been Allowed to Leave
 Farm to Visit Homes

Little Rock.-Gov. Futrell has inves- tigated reports that convicts on the state farm were given permission to leave the farm without consulting the law in the matter.
 It seems to have been a custom in the past to allow convicts who conduct ed themselves properly to make short visits home, being placed on their honor to return.
 When investigated it was found the warden was continuing the practice under the new commission without it's knowledge
 Gov Futrell has ordered the practice discontinued in the future.

Acting Recorder Appointed.

Rogers.-C. s. Bryant has been ap- pointed city recorder, pending the naming of successor to Virgil Saw rey, who, officers say, left few days ago for Los Angeles, Cal, and left the city finances in badly tangled condi- tion. MT. Bryant has served in that capacity before and was defeated by MT. Sawrey year ago. No investiga- ton has been made, but the shortage of MT. Sawrey, if any develops, as was suggested in his communication to the mayor, must be small, as the funds in his possession were limited.

 a letter from John A. Fox, Memphis, secretary of the Mississippi River Levee Association, complimenting the accuracy and completeness with which John L. Parker, banker of Arkansas City, has compiled the data on the flood losses in Mississippi and Desha counties. He states further that this report is to be used as a model for other counties in the flood district, in gathering reliable data to be used in the fight for better congressional recognition. The report shows that the loss in Mississippi county alone in 1912 wss sSO6,5O0, and s232,000 in Desha county, the crop loss not being counted in the latter county.

Our old friend Humus does not stand much of show with some farmers. They have not yet learned that in order to make material to last through the crop rotation we must blow under grass sod and other crops of that kind. It takes little nerve to blow under your crop of clover, for instance, but it must be done if we are to keep up with the procession.

In Memoriam.

Al
Little Pearl Gottman died at the
Public School in Hannibal Monday,
Oct. Is, about one o'clock D. NJ,
aged ID years, 6 months and II
days.
Death was due to severe pains in
the head which came very sudden
ly, while she and her playmates
were playing in the basement of the
school. Teachers were first called,
then the doctors we're summoned
and her mother notified. But when
the doctors reached her she was
unconscious and had already passed
away when her mother arrived.
Little Pearl was a child loved by
all who knew her, favorite among
her teachers and schoolmates, and
the pet of her family. Hel death
came as S sad and sudden shock to
the family. We might ask why one
so young and full of promise should
be taken from Us without a mo-
ments warning But Blessed are
they that mourn for they shall be
cOmforted God doeth all things
we'll Perhaps he needed just one
more sweet flower to perfect his
garden above. There's just one
more to beckon us up higher.
Pearl Evalyn Gottman, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. GOttman, was
born i'll Marion County, No, April
2, 1899. She united with the First
Baptist Church of this city about
one year ago, to which she has been
a faithful member since.
Died in Hannibal, Mo, where the
family now resides, Oct. IS. 1918.
A father, mother, one sister, two
grandmothers, a large circle of
aunts and unCles and other rela-
tives are left to mourn her de-
parture. The remains were brought
to this city for burial.
Funeral services held at the First
Baptist Church Wednesday after
noon conducted by Rev. Sam P.
\ Gott. Cousins of the deceased act
. ing as pail bearers.
A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled,
