STOCK HOLDERS WILL
 UNDERTAKE LIQUIDATION
State National Pronounced Solvent. Cashier Johnson Anounces Meet ing of Stockholders Consid-
 CT Selection of Agent.

Little Rock, July 3.-The public had been prepared for the announcement +hat the stockholders will undertake the houidation of the State Nation al Bank. since the examiner, W. w. Smith, has pronounced it solvent.
 Cashier Johnson returned Thursday from Washington, D. c. and an- nounced that a meeting of the stock holders will be held within the en- suing ten days for the purpose of con- sidering the selection of a liquidating agent.
 The w. s. Wortham Company, bankers, of Little Rock, are being most prominently mentioned in con- nection with this position, and it is believed the affair of the bank will be wound up through that institution.
 There had been a strong pull for the appointment of receiver, and sev- eral applicants went to Washington to push their claims, but this was ren- dered unnecessary by the decision of the Comptroller that the bank is in a solvent condition, and will not only be able to pay the depositors in full but a considerable sum to the stock holders by proper husbanding of the available assets.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
 AL CONVENTION IN SUMMER
Was Recommended by Last Demo- cratic State Convention and Be- lief is Growing Will be Held
 Following Legislature.

Little Rock, July 3.-The belief is growing stronger that a constitutional conventional convention will be held in the summer of 1915, following the session of the Legislature.
 It was recommended by the last Democratic State Convention, the first time it has gotten that far, and the sentiment for it is rapidly crystal izing.
 The Department of Education. which has been working for several months on an initiative petition for an amedment permitting an increase in the maximum levy for school pur- poses, to be voted on in the election of September 1916, is undertaking to push the measure so that it will be possible to submit large petition to the Constitutional Convention, should one be called.
 The efforts of the people to arrive at more satisfactory basis of com pensation for the members of the Legislature is another reason for a revision of the organic law. In 1912 an amendment was adopted limiting the sessions to 60 days, but this did not prove entirely satisfactory, and now, the people have under consideration for the September election another amendment, submitted by the Legis- lature itself, placing the legislature upon biennial salary, and permitting them to remain in session as long as they wish.
 Again for the third time the pro- posed amendment removing the res trictions against the issuance of mu- nicipal bonds is to be submitted to the people at the September election. Progressive business men agree that cities should have the power, when authorized by majority of the citi- zens, under proper restrictions and safeguards, to issue bonds for the pur- pose of making general public inn provements. For this reason, the Greater Arkansas Association, repre- senting the cities, towns and com mercial bodies of the state, are urg- ing the adoption of Amendment No. IA.
 There are many subjects that come up at every session of the Legislature that come within the scope of con- stitutional enactment, but under the law, only three amendments can be submitted at any one time, and this frequently illustrates the people in their desire to achieve needful legis- lation.
 All these and many other conditions make it almost a certainty that a Constitutional Convention will be call ed, and should this be done, the great CT part of the twelve months of 1915 will be spent in legislation in Little Rock. Should the legislative

GETTING SPRING
ONIONS TO FRONT
Fresh Vegetables Put Up in Neat
Packages Are Always in De-
mand in All Big Cities.

CBy LAVlLI-A WRIGHT MACOMBER.)
Having discovered, after several
seasons of experience, that large size
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space, we sort
out our small, even sized sets in early
spring and sell to the stores. retaining
all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have a large
amount of grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid of
them for little or nothing and they
make the best Of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled for they soon
straighten out of doors and have near
" a week the start of those not al
ready sprouted.
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plowed and roughly
leveled, leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
a wheel hoe. A cold snap or light
snow does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed in the ground and
pushed along for market at the earli-
est possible date to meet the first de-
mands. which, before town gardens
begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the mar
ket as soon as the bulbs begin to
show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
favor more pronounced. The extreme
tins of the bunch only are clipped
To give a neater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
