JOHN HUFFMAN PARDONED
 BY GOVERNOR YESTERDAY
Given Five Year Sentence in Peni- tentiary in Nevada County Cir cult Court last July for
 Manslaughter.

Little Rock, June 17.-"We are sat- istied that if Hoffman had not been drunk, no trouble would have oc- cured" This is one of the state ments made in petition for the par don of John Hoffman, Jr., of Prescott, convicted in July, 1913, of manslaugh- ter and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The pardon was grant ed upon the condition that should Hoffman ever again be found in an in- toXicated condition, he should he re- turned to the penitentiary to serve the remainder of his term.
 Hoffman is young white man with a wife and one child dependant upon him for support. He is cripple, hav- ing lost one arm and has been en- ployed as a train caller at Prescott. July 1, 1913, while drunk, he became engaged in an altercation with Sam Cross, negro member of train crew and stabbed and killed him. The jury that convicted him was unable to agree upon the term and left it to the court to fix his sentence.

CINCH BUGS CAUSING MUCH DAMAGE TO CORN CROP

Little Rock, June HE. Ritter of Marked Tree write Commissioner Page that chinch-bugs are causing much damage to corn in that vicinity He has been advised that infested grass lands and stubble should be burned over and all rubbish under which the bugs might hide should be destroyed in the same way. They may be destroyed while migrating from one field to another by tar barriers or deep furrows, and by being buried under the ground by means of blows and harrows. A narrow strip of grass may be sown around corn fields and turned under as soon as badly in- fested with the bugs.

MEDIATION PROBABLY
 IS NEAR THE END
American Delegates Express Belief That Mediation Conference Pro- bably Will Fail. Mission
 was a Failure.

Niagara Falls, Ont, Jpne 16.-Jus- tice Lamar and Frederick w. Leh- mann, the American delegates to the mediation conference went to Buffalo today and talked for four hours with Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, per sonal representatives of General Car ranza. Their purpose was to find some way to bring the Constitutions lists into harmony with the scope of mediation.
 Their mission was a failure, the Constitutionalists' representatives who had come from Washington expecting to see the American delegates told them why their government could not agree to an armistice and why only man prominent in the Constitutions list ranks could be accepted by them for the provisional Presidency and fin ally they said they believed the Con- stitutional army would settle the Mex ican problem soon if left unhampered by foreign countries.
 The American delegates returned to Niagara Falls feeling that so far as the political pacifcation of Mexico is concerned mediation will accom- plish nothing and probably the end of the conference is very near. The next full Conference is set for Friday and until then little will be done because of Minister Naon of Argenta's ab- sence Most of the principals here, are inclined to the view that Fridays session may be the last. The three mediators virtually have abandoned hope of solving Mexico's internal pro- blems.

CITIZENS WIN OUT IN
 TELEPHONE CONTROVERSY
Company Agrees to Continue Service Under Old Rate and Phones are in Use Today. IFS Cut Out
 the First of June.

At the meeting last night at the court house there were several warm discussions concerning the organiza- lion of new telephone company for this city. It was evident that the larger number of citizens were ready to proceed with the organization.
 Edward Cronk, of Little Rock, a representative of the Independent Telephone System, was present and stated that his company was ready to place a new system here. He stated that he would take all the stock that had not been sold and guarantee the holders an annual dividend of 25 per cent and run the system at the rate of S1.50, $2.00 and $250 until the city of Prescott reached a population of 5000. Mir. Crock evidently is an ex- perienced telephone man and told the people a lot of things they did not know.
 Mr. Frisby, of Morrillton, was pres ent at the meeting last night and he probably learned great deal of the situation in Prescott. This gentle man is a brother of P. D. Frisby, the manager of the telephone system, and is a large stockholder. After hear ing the talk of Mir. Cronk and sever al of our citizens and numbers of pa irons of the system on the rural routes MT. Frisby, of Morrillton, arose and stated that the former rates of the company would become effec- tive today. He also stated that there would be no raise in the rates on the rural lines and that all of the sur rounding communities would have connections with the office here.
 There is no doubt but what a new line would have been placed in the city had not the old company placed their rates as they were formerly. There had been several thousand dol lars worth of stock bought and the entire patronage of the present sys- tenn with the exception of few, had pledged their support to new con- pany. With the exception of two business houses there has not been telephone in us in the business section of the city since June 1st.

WILSON TELLS WHAT
 FLAG STANDS FOR
President Addresses Large Crowd at Annual Flag Day Celebration.
 Secretaries Bryan and
 Daniels also Speak.

Washington, D. C.-Waving his hand toward an American flag hoisted by squad of navy bluejackets, Pres ident Wilson told great crowd as- sembled today before the State, War and Navy Departments to celebrate flag day, that flying over a reunited nation this banner for the future is meant to stand for the just use of undisputed national power"
 "Our spirits as we'll as our states, are now reunited" said the president, land nobody questions our ability to push forward our economic affairs up- on lines of unparalleled successes and prosperity.
 "This flag for the future is meant to stand for the just use of our undis- puted national power. No nation is to doubt our power to assert it's rights, and we should lay it to heart that no nation shall ever henceforth doubt our power to put it to the highest uses to which a great emblem of justice and government can be put.
 "It is henceforth to stand for self possession, for dignity, for the asser- tion of the right of one nation to serve the other nations of the world-an emblem that will not condescend to be used for purposes of aggression and self-aggrandizement.
 "So it seems to me that it is my privilege and right as the temporary representative of great nation that does what it pleases with it's own af- fairs to say that we please to do jus tice and assert the rights of mankind wherever this flag is unfurled."
 Secretary Bryan and Secretary Dan iels delivered addresses dwelling upon the presidents idea that the mission of the United States is one of liberty and justice.

FARM ORGANIZATION

After all the talk about greatet
farm prosperity through increased
yields per acre we are gradually but
surely being forced to admit that this
may be one of the minor factors in
increasing permanently the net income
on the farm.
On many farms if not the majority
of farms the greatest problem is the
organization of the different opera
tions, activities and enterprises into a
smooth working, large net income pro
ducing machine.
This is . different problem on every
farm and one which the farmer mus:
work out largely for himself with oc-
easional help from the outside, in de-
velopment of plans to be followed.
How many farmers frequently and
serisusl y ask themselves il their meah.
DDS and plans are the best they could
use! How many ever seriously question
the correctness Of their farm organiza,
tion and wonder if a different adjust
ment might not be for the better.
The determination Of what crops and
animals to raise, how many to raise
and when to raise them, the economical
utilization of the man and horse labor
and the profitable use Of all the re-
sources at the hands of the farmer is
more important than simply increasing
the yield per acre or of getting a big
ger price per unit for what is sold.
In order to work out these organiza-
tion problems farmers must have de-
tailed first hand knowledge of their
own business. This information can be
obtained by keeping systematic busi-
ness and labor records.

DECEMBER WEATHER

The weather for the month of De-
cember, besides the heavy snowfall,
has been unusually cold, due in a large
measure to the ground being covered
during the entire month, and the noun
tains being filled with snow. This coz
dition, by cutting off the heat from the
ground, made It favorable for loss from
heat by radiation and consequently
cold. No relief was had from chinook
winds during tie month, and as result

ground At the close of the month.
The maximum temperature for the
month was 406 degrees on the 18th,
and the minimum vas 1875 degrees on

The fat Of the body always comes
from q single source, the food. Fat il
food which has been disested, but which
cannot be used by .he tissues. Regard
less Of whether the fat Tin may be q
light eater or heavy eater, he always
eats and diee,ts more food than his
acdy uses up Nature, in her economy,
ss,es this excess by storing it in the
fern of fat. Alcoholic drinks, especial
lv in the form of beer, often overload
tn" Sody with an undesirable kind Of
fat.
fhs Fat Producers
While an excess of any food may b.
converted into fat in the body. the
sweets and the starches, such as breads
of every kind, cereals and potatoes, are
the usual sources of fat 1t is of these
things that the fat man always eats
more than he needs.
The Results of Obesity
Foods which make fat are fOrce-pro-
dueing foods under normal conditions.
but As the body gets into the habit of
converting these foods into fat the in
div;dual loses vigor. Further, too
much fat Overworks the heart, over
strains the arteries and tends to bring
On degeneration of the kidneys. Early
death from worn out organs is the f te
of the average fat man. The obUsc
also have = diminished disease resisting
power. Typhoid fever and pneumonia
are particularly fatal among fat people.
How 70 Cure Obesity
The only rational method to cure
obesity, and, incidentally, the only safe
cure, is, first, to reduce the amount of
force food to just what can be used in
the body and, second, of using up mors
food, and out of the lazy habit Of con.
vert ng the food into fat. This means
first, that the fat man should eat
sufficiently small amount of starehy
foods to permit of 4 constant reduction
IN weight, until this is down to normal.
snd, second, that he should get plehty
Of fresh air night and day, wear light
clothing, especially underwear, take
daily sponge bath, and follow system
