COUNCIL TIES ON
BUSINESS PLAN
Mayor France Casts Deciding
Vote in Favor of Engag-
ing Purchasing Agent
PARKS BOB UP AGAIN
Regular Annual Series of Park
Schemes is Again Rele-
gated to Committee

Mayor France, when the vote of
the council stood 6 to Wednesday
night, on motion instructing the
city attorney to draw an ordinance
providing for purchasing agent
cast the deciding ballot in favor of
the measure Mayor France previous
ly had favored the official and We'd
nesday night spoke in favor.
Councilman Morck of the finance
committee introduced the subject of
the agent and Pearsall made mo-
ton for the preparation of the ordi-
nance. Myles led in the opposition
on the ground the taxpayers commit
tee and the mayor had been preach
ing economy; the budget had been
reduced to the lowest possible point
and laborers earning $3.50 a day and
supporting families had been turned
new Office at not less than $500
year. Myles had the support of
Rrecht, Evans, Sawyer. Empey and
Fraser, and Morck was supported by
Pearsall, Milette, Evans, Grant, Eg-
erer and Weiland. Brecht wanted
the power of purchasing supplies left
with heads of departments and Myles
wanted to continue City Clerk Peter
Clark as the purchaser of supplies
which he has been doing for two
years. Mayor France said the city
clerk had not the time, and the clerk
agreed with the mayor. Mayor France
said he thought the council could at
least make a try of the proposition
and SO cast the deciding vote.
Parks Bob Up Again.
Mayor France appointed special
committee composed of Morck Myles,
Egerer and Pearsall to take up the
various park propositions and consid-
er them. The appointment simply
put the park proposition back in old
form for committee towork with
as it did some time ago. The COM
mittee was named after Brecht had
endeavored to get a reconsideration
of the Stewart park proposition which
Pearsall opposed on the ground that
the question could not be taken up
again unless Mrs. Stewart presented
new offer.
There was a kick on the bills of
transfer companies, and these were
left over for investigation. 1t was
shown the city is paying from 81 to
$2.4O for taking drunks to the po
lice station and IS for bringing a pa
tient from the pesthouse after re-
covery.
The council voted to pay for the
$4,000 concrete mixer, for which the
city has the same urgent need that
it has for an airship to carry the
garbage to the dump.
Petitions for permission to build
corrogated iron sheds on the rear of
property owned by Keller and Will
son and o. J. Dabney, were allowed,
and a similar petition from Jacob
son and Kaufman referred.
An insurance policy in the Milwau-
kee Mechanics was referred pending
decision by the council as to whether
1t wishes to use this certain policy
this year or not.
A petition signed by eight persons
calling for plank roadway on Wood
street from Rogers to Lawrence street
South Aberdeen, was referred to the
street committee.
The health committee recommend
ed that the lots under buildings at
309-11-13 East Heron street be fill
ed.
An ordinance for a sidewalk on
Gran tStreet from Second to Randall
was passed.

UNION BAPTIST
 HIGH SCHOOL

The future outlook of the Union Baptist High School at Bodcaw Is very encouraging. About three weeFs ago the Board of Trustees for the school met and unanimously indorsed, and had an agreement with Rev. J. V. Vermillion to continue as princi- pal of the school another year on the same terms of this year, with added Privilege to the use f houses that is calculated to give Bro, Vermillion opportunities to offer lnducement to boarding pu- pills by reducing the cost of board.
 The mass of the people near the school seem to be (and are) encouraged with the progress that the school has made this year. In raising the salary for Bro. Vermillion, which was rais- ed this week, ending April 18th, A patrons shared in it, n d where only six men were found that were willing to secure the salary and contract with Bro. Virmillion this year, six more have joined them (making twelve) as contractors for the next year.
 This term of school will be out in four weeks, and is now prom ising to close in very good con- dition, and is expecting to have some exercises, such as recita- tions, debates, etc., by the pu- pills. There are many pledges and S306 that have been giveE by some counties and associations in the state.
 Brother Vermillon is now in a capacity to be at work getting out the new catalogue of the school for LeXt year, and Is ex- pected to continue the campaign for the school over the state all next summer.

LATE PLANTING.

Cotton planting will all be late this year. The ground win hard en rapidly when the rain does cease and the water gets off, Run all over the land with disc just as soon as the team will stand on top of the ground. This will hold the moisture until you can get your planting done-will let in the air and will allow the sun to warm the ground.
 If the ground dries rapidly, a little deeper planting is required. but shallow planting is best, as rule. Flat beds are best. High beds give warmth and air, but are hard to cultivate and mean decrease in yield, in case of even a short drouth, and requires more hoeing, which is costly cul- tivation. High beds are not only difficult of cultivation, but dry out rapidly, and the roots form ing in them, running out seeking plant food, find the soil too shal low when they reach the middles to support the growth of plants It is all right to plant on beds, but first beds should be pulled down by a drag until the field has the appearance of having been laid off with a ten-inch shovel between the beds. II beds are lowered by rollers, har- rows or drags, the seed bed will usually be in good shape, also. You can plant seed in corn planter and space just as you llke | if you will first dampen them and roll them in a barrel built upon a frame like grindstone, put ting into the barrel dry dirt or ashes. Plant seed promptly after
 rolling, because the cotton fuzz

 Any child between the ages mentioned, attending a country school, may compete. Only one side of the paper must be writ, ten on; each page should be numbered !; the name, age and address of the writer, and the name and location of the school which he or she is attending must be plainly written at the top of the first page. The an. nouncement of the competition has been sent to the.superintend- ents of schools in the rural dis. tricts. No further information can be obtained from the office of public roads. This announce ment should be plain to every one, and all children will thus start on basis of equality.

A TEMPERANCE PETITION.

Little Rock April 14.-The pc titions asking that Senate bill No. 11S, the drastic temperance measure passed by the last Leg. islature, be referred to the peO, pie, was placed in circulation in all parts of Arkansas today, and already several of the sheets, con taining 35 signatures each, have been returned to the headquar- ters of those circulating the peti tions. The petition merely asks that the Secretary of State sub init the bill to the people at the general election in 1914. As only 10000 names are needed to refer the matter, the petition will probably be filed with the Secre' tary of State this week.

will return when thoroughly dried out.
 The season generally is late, due to so much water. In those sections a fight against the frost is necessary. A small acreage, well prepared. planted in an ear " maturing seed, fertilized and well cultivated, will open earlier than a greater acreage thrown into bad seed bed without fer tilizer and without sufficient cuL tivation. Good cultivation and greater quantities of fertilizer hasten maturity. You get bet ter opening, a surer crop, more pounds per acre, aad, if restric tion of acreage is practiced to the extent it should be, you get gr eater money returns, and that is what we plant and reap for.
 The remaining land sown in peas, soy beans and late corn, will improve the soil and furnish the feed for the crop of 1914 and make it much better year than it otherwise could be for profta ble farming. JOHN H. PAGE,

ARGENTINE SALE DISCUSSED.

MinneapoIis = Cons1derable com.
ment is being made upon the report
of a cargo Of corn sold to go to Mon
treal from the Argentine. We do not
see how this make any material
difference in American prices. Last
year with a crop Of three billion BUSH
els our exports were less than three
per cent OF n crop. and this year
be an importer instead Of an exporter.
AS 1t is. a few cargoes Of Argentine
corn have already been bought by the
Glucose company to come to New
York. It means merely that America
and Canada will take some corn from
tho Argentine that would naturally 90
to Europe. and that they in turn will
be obliged to pay higher prices In or
der to keep 1t from coming to this
country.-Chas. E. Lewis 4 Co.

What Makes Flowers Blue.

0F all the many substances that are
~ combined to make flower, what
IS the particular one to which is due
the red, blue or yellow color? Why,
for example, are gentians blue and
roses red, and why has no one ever
seen a red gentian or blue rose? The
chemist can tell us. Taking the plants
that produce really blue-not violet
flowers, he considers which OF their
is peculiar to them. True
blue exists in veronicas, salvias, ver-
benas, basil, solanum, penstemon. ne

the gentianaceae and compositae, but
never in lupus. vetches, peas, gerani-
ums, hollyhocks, primulas, roses, bal
sam, fax, &C. AL the blue-producing
plants just named have a tannin in
them which does not exist IN the 9TH

found in coffee, but not In tea. Tea
contains another form of tannin which
is the same as that which makes camel
