The Protectorate Policy.

That the Washington administra
| tons plan to establish what amounts
| to protectorate over Nicaragua viii
be approved by the Senate, is indi
Gated in dispatches stating that the
proposal is favored by Senator Bacon
chairman Of the foreign relations
committee, and that the support Of
Senators Lodge, Root and other re
publican members of the committee
is assured. No one seems to believe
that this policy, once adopted with
respect to Nicaragua, will stop there
Senator Bacon, Tor one, believes there
is more than possibility that it will
be extended, and it is pointed out
that European governments have felt
that the United States would be oblig
ed to exercise more direct control
over the weak Central American re-
pubics where conditions are not I'M
like those in Nicaragua.
Senator Bacon says that he would
prefer not to have anything to do
with the internal affairs of any coun-
try. But IL the conditions require
that we should take part in them" he
adds, then, in my opinion, We
should have some such control or
supervision as is furnished by the
provisions found in the Plat amend
ment. 1t may be necessary, and prob
ably 1t will be necessary to modify
these provisions to make them more
directly applicable to conditions in
Nicaragua" OF the probability that
IL hn 10 nd
this case it will be extended, Mr.. Ba-
con says:
The serious feature about the pro-
position is that If adopted in the
case of Nicaragua il will be the inau-
guration of a-more far-reaching po-
Icy which will not be limited to Nj
caragua, but which in time, as neces
sity arises, will doubtless be extended
to other South American states.
If conditions require us to inter
fere in Nicaragua 1t is much better
that we do so pursuant to law and
in obedience to law made by treaty
or otherwise rather than that we
should proceed lawlessly and in VIC
lation OF law, as was done when
the marines were sent to the capital
of Nicaragua in the last administra-
ton and took actual part in their
civil strife.
That Nicaragua's acceptance of this
governments protection would tend
to check revolutionary tendencies in
other Central American countries,
goes without saying. There is, how
ever no certainty that the other
countries would accept terms which
Nicaragua is prepared to welcome. In
fact, it is said that Secretary Bryan
has offered to make treaties with
Honduras and Salvador promising
the protection of the United States in
return for opportunity to control
their foreign affairs and the making
of foreign loans, and that the repre-
sentatiyes of these countries have de
cined to consider his proposition.
Their rejection OF the plan will not
of course, be regarded as final. Much
probably everything, will depend on
how the protectorate policy, IL appli-
ed in the case OF Nicaragua, works
out II 1t is successful in this case,
other countries will. be likely to ae-
cept it.-Rutland Herald

A CRESCENT OF RUINS.
The Curious Old Cliff Dwellings OF the
National Mesa Verde.


In the Mesa Verde National park. in
southwestern Colorado. are 800 cliff
dwellings. of which only the three lar
gest have been repaired. The largest
ruin. called Cliff palace. stands about
n thousand feet above the bottom Of
the canyon and 800 feet below the top
of the ledge. All the houses connect
and open into one another, the entire
settlement forming a crescent about
100 feet in length from end TO end
As we contemplate these silent ruins
1t is hard to believe that at one time
they resounded with the hum of indus
try. the laughter Of children. the dron.
ing of priests. and the strident cry OF
the sentlnels calling the warriors to
battle. The jewellers of these aban-
doned communities have left no writ
ten record. but the shape of the struc-
lures and the relics that have been
dug from the debris OF centuries give
some idea of how these people lived
and moved and had their being.

ledge close TO its front. and hack OF

TAXES MUST BE
PAID BY APRIL 10
PENALTIES TO BE ADDED
PRESENT LAW GIVES COLLEC-
TOR NO LATITUDE IN EX-
TENDING TINE.

Either great many delinquent
penalties will be assessed or the office
of the tax collector will be one of the
busiest places in the county between
now and April 10. Up to this after
noon Sheriff J. S. johnson had made
only about 1900 receipts. With less
than one month in which to pay more
than two-thirds of the receipts are to
be issued.
The collector says that for every
receipt made out after April 10 pen
atty Of 10 per cent of the taxes will be
added Il Will either have to add this
penalty or pay it myself" said Sheriff
johnson today, "as the present low
forces the county clerk to charge me
with penalty of 10 per cent on every
receipt recorded after April TO-
1t will be almost physical impossi-
bility to get all the receipts made out
within the time prescribed by the law.
Only 26 working days remain in which
to do the work, and in order to COM
plete the collection an average of
about IT'S per day will have to be
made out. The collector could do this
oy continuous work, but the taxpayers
are coming in very slowly now and
the big rush will come ,the last two
weeks.
The law to which Sheriff Johnson
refers was passed by the legislature
of 1911, and is as follows:
"Section !. All taxes levied on real
estate and personal property by the
several county courts of the state,
when assembled for the purpose OF
levying taxes, shall be deemed to be
due and payable at any time from the
first Monday in January to and in
cluding the 10th day of April, shall
he considered as delinquent, and it is
hereby made the penalty of 10 per
cent against all such delinquent tax
payers that have not paid their taxes
within the time limit specified, and
the collector shall collect said penalty
IN the same manner and at the same
time he collects other delinquent
taxes.
Section 2. The clerk of the county
court, at the time Of making settle
n.ent with the collector, shall carefully
examine the record of tax receipts as
kept by the collector, and shall charge
said collector with a sum equal to 1o
per cent of all the tax receipts record
ed subsequent to the 10 day OF
April. Provided, all errors or omis-
sions of the collector in recording any
tax receipt shall be exempt from the
penalties herein prescribed.
"Section 8. This act, being neces-
sary for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety
shall take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.

FARMING HINTS
SEASON OF 1913
JOHN II. PAGES LETTER
SECURING GOOD SEED NECES-
SARY IN COTTON RAISING
BEES ARE PROFITABLE.

In planting cotton be careful to get
good seed. There are many good va
rieties, but the seed should be large,
clean. uniform, and by all means, it
is important to know where they were
grown. 1t would be much better to
have but one variety, and if possible a
whole neighborhood would be better
by raising the same variety of cotton.
By this method, in the course of time
better prices for cotton can be OBJ
tained on account of the uniformity.
If the farmers of any given commun-
ity would confne themselves to one
variety for a few years and learn to
grade and classify Their own cotton,
they would soon learn that they would
be able to sell their cotton at better
price, and perhaps be able to sell di-
rect to the New England mills.
In planting the cotton, be careful
to make the rows far enough apart.
The distance between rows, and also
the plants, should be guaged by the
character of the soil. There is no
fixed rule of distance. The plants
should be far enough apart so the
limbs will not lap nor touch when full
grown. By knowing your soil, you
can very we'll determine this question.
Few farmers give distance enough be-
tween plants, but those who do and
cultivate them, will make more cotton
and be able to handle it better at
picking time. Cotton is sun plant
and needs lots Of sunshine, warmth
and air. Remember this.
Be sure and plant enough corn. If
YOU make more than you need you Will
find use for it. 9lso look after the
hay crop, and do not neglect to put
in plenty of potatoes. Provide suffi-
cient pasture for the hogs and mich
cows. 1t will pay well in the long
run. If you viii put your rundown
land in pasture and put the hogs and
COWS on it. it will build up and be
good land again.
Bees are good thing on farm,
and every farmer should have few
colonies of them. A good colony of
good bees will yield on average of 100
pounds of honey. 1t is worth 10 cents
a pound on the table or in the local
market. The bees are not much
trouble to handle if you know how,
and you can learn how for asking.
The women and children can look at
ter them, and it is a good thing for
the children to learn. In all nature
there is nothing more interesting than
the bee. JNO. n. fAHh'

ARKANSAS TAX
LEVY INCREASED
MORE REVENUE IS NEEDED
GENERAL TAX LEVY INCREAS-
ED FROM l 3-4 MILLS TO
2 IA MILLS.

Little Rock, March 12.-The action
of the legislature in passing the Carl
Lee bill, increasing the general tax
levy from / ga to IA mills means
the addition of about $500,000 bien-
nially to the general revenue fund, and
is the first step toward actually get
ting more revenue. Under the pres
ent property assessment this will
bring about $215,OOO annually.
The new tax rate adjustment takes
three-eighths of a mill from the half
mill levy for state capitol purposes.
thereby leaving only one-eighth of a
mill levy for the purposes of complet-
ing the new state capitol. This will
amount to $780, 900 or $780, 900 annually,
however, and as there will be about
S325,O00 in that fund when the pres
'ent taxes are paid in, it is believed
this will take care of the new capitol,
beautify the grounds and embellish the.
building property.
The other one-eighth mill, which is,
added to the general levy, is from the
sinking fund. In other words, the
sinking fund tax levy is virtually
abolished.
The total tax levy remains un-
changed.

A new SUNDAY
SCHOOL BUILDING
PLANNED BY METHODISTS
IF PLANS ARE ACCEPTED BY
MEMBERSHIP WORK WILL Be
GIN ABOUT JUNE l.
From Mondays Oailv.

From Mondays Oaily.
The Methodists Of Conway are
planning the erection of large Sun
day school building on the west end
of their lots on the corner of Prince
and Clifton streets. The preaching
hour yesterday morning was taken up
in making public the plans for build
ing and financing such structure.
Rev. E. R. Steel told of the incapa-
city of the present building to accom-
modate the present Sunday school and
Of the very pressing need of a larger
building.
G. l.. Bahner and V. D. Hill, repre-
senting the building committee, made
talks on the kind of building proposed
and the manner in which payments
are to be made. The building pro-
posed will be two stories and base
ment, with a seating capacity of 500,
and costing not less than $4,000, and
built so that when new auditorium
is built it can be added to the Sunday
school building without marring the
beauty of either. 1t is
also proposed to remodel the present
by adding more galleries,
giving better ventilation and install
ing a pipe organ.
If the proposed plans meet with ia
1or with the membership work will
be started about June /, and it is
thought the building can be completed
by January /.

BIDS ASKED FOR
POSTQFF|CE SITE
FEDERAL BUILDING in CITY
SITE TO BE SELECTED WITH
REFERENCE TO CONVEN-
IENCE OF PATRONS.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The postoffice department is now
eady to receive bids from local deal
ers for the site upon which will be To-
ated at some future date a federal
uilding for Conway.
Acting Postmaster j. A. Settler will
oon receive blanks, upon which these
bids are to be made and also rules
governing them, which may be had
upon application to him.
The site selected will be the one best
suited to meet the demands of all the
patrons of the Conway postoffice, both
from a viewpoint of the handling of
the mail and accessibility and conven-
ience of the patrons.
The postmaster is required to fur
nish a map of the city showing the
location of the depot, the location of
the present postoffice building, the
business section, the center of popula-
ton, etc. All these items will be con-
sidered in securing the site. When all
bids are in a representative OF the
postoffice department will be sent here
to look over different sites and make
recommendations.
After the site has been selected an
appropriation will probably be made
for a S25, 900 or $4,000 federal build
ing for this city.
1t is due, to the earnest efforts on
the part of Congressman H. M. Jaco-
way of this district that this appro-
priaton was made, and he will doubt
less do all in his power to have con-
gre SIS pass the additional appropria-
ition for a suitable pastotfice huiiding
