OKLAHOMA HAS SENSATION,
Charges That GrOsseSt Immortality
 Exists in State RefOrmatOry.

Oklahoma City, April l6.-Charg- ing that the state reformatory at Granite is "a black hole of Calcutta compared with what reformatory should be" the House investigating committee today filed with the House it's report recommending the summary removal of Warden Clyde A. Reed and Assistant Warden John J. Hackett.
 The report charges that the grossest immortality is, with the full knowledge of the warden and as sistant permitted to be carried on in the prison. and further charges that Governor Cruce, Attorney Gen eral Charles West and Charles T. Bryan president of the board of agriculture, constituting the board of prison control. and Kate Barnard, commissioner of charities and cor rcctions, each have a partial knowl- edge of the terrible condition exist ing in the reformatory, but have done nothing to alleviate 'the con- diton.

COMMISSION FORM GAINING.

Jersey City, N. J., is the latest big city to adopt commission form of government, and news of some city rejecting the old ward system is getting almost as common as stor- ics of "revolutions" in Mexico.
 And the suggestion by Governor Hodges of Kansas that his state adopt a commission form of gov ernment is finding strong and gen. eral support both in the Jayhawk state and elsewhere.
 And why not?"
 That was the question asked in Mena recently by Col s. c. Warner, general passenger and ticket agent of the Kansas City Southern Rail way Company.
 Col Warner said further:
 Yes. why not? The conduct of the affairs of a state is a business proposition. It is just as much a business as running a railroad. And can you imagine a railroad that would depend on calling in bunch of section hands and other em- plOyees for a few weeks and having them adopt rules and regulations for the management of a railroad for the ensuing two years, and then another crowd of the same kind in another two years?"
 Those were not the exact words of the prominent railroad man named, perhaps. but the sentiment expressed is contained therein
 The management of the affairs of city or state is, or should be, strictly matter of business. Good men should be on the job every day, and should be held to strict account for the certain duties under their respective and individual supervi- sion.
 Common sense is bringing this condition about with great and in creasing rapidity, and all that is necessary to make it an ideal form of government is that the people should keep continually in touch with the acts of the business man. agers they place in charge, and be prepared at any time to recall and properly punish any one of them who fails to keep true to his trust.

MILITANT SUFFRAGETTE.
Bomb Troop Tries to Blow Up the
 SmeatOn Tower.

Plymouth, England, April 20.-A militant suiTrage,te bomb troop yesterday attempted 10 blow up the famous Smeaton Tower on Ply mouth Hoe. The tower is the origi- nal Eddystouc lighthouse, built by John NJ. >mra.on in l156-69, dis mantled when it became autequated and re-prccted on the Hoe as a his toric relic.
 As in many instances of recent date. the bomb employed by the militant suGragette failed to eX- plode. IL consisted of the usual ryl- indrical tin canister filled with the explosive and wet fuse attached 10 the top. The bomb was placed by the women under the entrance gate of the tower. The fuse had been lighted but was apparently put out by the wind. On the cylinder were painted in bold letters the words. Votes for Women-Death in Ten Minutes while all around was scattered suffrage literature.

CERTAINLY A GOOD CONDITION

One of Mena's leading merchants stated recently that he was this season selling 10 pounds of home produced meats, hams, shoulders, bacon, etc, to 1 pound of packing house product.
 This is a condition new to Polk county, and one of the very best indications of healthful growth. There still are many thousands of dollars sent out for meat that should be produced at home-just another way of draining our county of its life-blood, it's money.
 Sending money away from home for anything that can be grown here is just another thing that should be discouraged, along with other mail order buying.

Farm Papers Are Consolidated.

The Arkansas Homestead of Lit tie Rock has purchased Back-to- the-Land, a paper established by William R. Lighton and lately op- erated by H. G. Spaulding at Pine Bluff, and the two papers have been united under the name of Tae Arkansas Farmer and Homestead with Clay Sloan of Black Rock as agricultural editor and John c. Small as manager. A new printing outfit has been installed at Little Rock and the paper will be pub lished twice a month. This con- solidation gives The Arkansas Farmer and Homestead a circula- ton of 30000, and makes it one of the real strong agricultural papers of the South.

Answer. Bermuda is the hardest of southern grasses and is better adapted to a wider range of soil and climatic conditions. It makes good growth on the poorest of hlll- side soils, where its value lies in preventing washing away of the soil, and in providing permanent pasture for the cattle, hogs and work stock. Cattle cannot pasture it close enough to injure the stand and hogs can pasture it the year round. It is the best drouth re- sistant grass we have.
 On soils of average strength Ber- muda makes splendid hay. It grows from s to 20 inches high and us ually produces two cuttings each season. The hay is fine and of extra good quality and is much relished by all classes of livestock. Many farmers in various sections of the state are producing large quan- titles of Bermuda hay for their own use and for sale
 Bermuda grass does not produce seed in the South. The seed have to be imported. They are usually very low in power of examination, and are most expensive. Eight pounds of seed per acre are neces- sary and these cost about one dol lar per pound. The Experiment Station has never secured good re- suits from the use of Bermuda seed.
 The best means for prOpagating Bermuda is to find a piece of Ber- muda sod, dig it up with a hatchet chop the runners and underground stems into piece, about two inches long. scatter the,r in the field and cover them with a disc harrow. a cultiVator or a double shovel blow, The land should be prepared as if for grain. The pieces can be scat tered broadcast or can be seat tered in shallow furrows and coy cred lightly. A new plant will start from each of the joints of the run ners or underground stems.
 Bermuda can be set any time during the spring or summer months, but the best time is during the months of April or May. After planting the land should be left smooth because the Bermuda soon makes a heavy sod where heavy ridges are undesirable.

Wealth in the Wilds.

Only about 9 per cent of the en- tire land area of the United States is improved farm land, yet we al- ready hear the vail of new settlers and would-be land owners, who find improved farms too expensive for their limited capital and who claim that unimproved farm land is more than scarce.
 In Arkansas only about 20 per cent of the total area is now in cul- tivation. Millions of acres of flnef lands than much of what is now being cultivated are yet in virgin forest, awaiting the thrifty agri- culturist. These lands are as pro ductive as any in Iowa or Illinois now held at from S100 to S200 per acre, and yet they can be had at from $7 to $i5 per acre. There is more money in them for the man of industry than in improved land for the timber on most of them is worth more than the cost of clear ing, and when once cleared the farmer has fresh new soil. In this day of advanced methods the cost of clearing is reduced to a mini mum.
 Only those who have tried to clear such land by the use of ex- plosives know how efficient the method is and what a great time and labor saver it is compared tC the primitive man, horse and ma chinery method. The explosive method is of especial interest to new settlers and those of limited capital, because it requires no large initial outlay of money, and every cent invested can be immediately used for the purpose of clearing up the farm. Besides this. if properly handled, explosives are as safe as the machinery method Explosives will do as good work in clearing land as the most expensive ma chinery, and generally at less total cOst-Texarkanian.

ARKANSAS MAY SOON
 HAVE GAME RESERVE

Little Rock, April l9.-That the government is soon to become active in the protection of wild life in Ar kansas is demonstrated by the withholding of a large area of land in Mississippi county. in what is known as the Sunk Land district. The plats for a considerable DOT ton of this area have been filed with the commissioner of lands. but on the plats it is shown that the government is to reserve a consid- .erable portion for protection of heron. Heron preserves are now established in several states. through the activity of wealthy patrons, and if the government maintains the one in Mississippi county it will be the first fostered by Uncle Sam in the United States.

GRANTS ONE PARDON
cov Fulrrll Freed Boy Who Stoie for Bread and Butter ana
 Starts Deluge.

Iutle Rock. April i8.-Touehed hv the appeal of a gray headed fstbcr and on recommendation oI lhe grand jury of Seyler county nroseruting attorney, judge and all other court officials. and man! prominent citizens of the county tcfinr Governor Futrell on Wednesday granted his first paruoh; and evidently imagining the ice hau bpen broken and pardons would be easv thereafter. a perfect deluse oI nardon petitions rained upon the rbpf pypcutive Thursday. Not a pardon was granted, however. me Wednesday pardon was issued 10 free youth who had run away from college in Iowa to seek ms forfune and to secure bread and butter had burglarized a store m Sevier county The boy was gwen four years in the penitentary ana had worked two weeks on the state farm when liberated Many state officials and prominent citizens oI Iowa appealed for the pardon ol this boy. 1T
 So sci is Acting Governor FutreIl against pardons that he has decIln- ed to issue pardons to paroled con victs who have been out six months and have good records. The law says the governor may pardon the paroled cOnvicts at the end of thls time. but Acting Governor Futrell states that he does not care for the responsibility of taking the bride off of these fellows He believes in holding the penitentiary sen tence over them to insure good be- havior in the future.
 The penitentiary commissioners recommended the pardon of a boy in the reform school, as did the former superintendent of that ln- stitution. who has served more than half his term, and has a model rec ord. The commissioners stated they would have paroled the boy, but his parents have moved to Canada and parole would not permit him to leave the state and follow them Acting Governor Futrell heard the plea and gave out no decision which means that the punishment must continue and the law be up- held.
