Keeping Crops In Condition.

Cool nights retard the growth
|of the young cotton plants, but
when the warm days and
nights come the cotton will grow
rapidly if it is in good condi-
ton. Keep the grass and weeds
out and keep the dirt loose, so
the cotton will do it's best when
the warm weather gets here.
Corn pests are giving more or
less trouble now. Cut worms
do a good deal of damage to
growing corn and other things
too. Paris green mixed with
wheat bran and sprinkled along
the rows will kill off good
many cut worms and also some
of the other corn pests. The
small wire worm is perhaps the
hardest to contend with. The
government is now making an
investigation of the wire worm
in this state.
During this month is a good
time to plant soy beans, velvet
beans or cow peas. Cow peas
should follow the oats as soon
as harvested. Early potatoes
should be followed by peas or
some other crop. Late cabbage
is a good follow crop. The GUS
tom of topping corn and pulling
fodder are both bad. Other ar
rangements should be made for
forage. More than the value of
the tops or fodder is lost in the
corn when it natures. Of
course the labor is lost. The rea-
son is because the corn stalk is
weakened by being topped or
having the blades pulled off, and
SO much of the vitality is taken
away that the ear does not ma
ture to as full weight as it would.
Lots of land in Arkansas is
better for truck farming than
for staple crops. Truck farming
requires more work per acre, but
pays bigger. Truck farming,
hay raising and stock growing
will pay the best. Of course the
most of the farmers do not be-
lieve this and will go on rails
ing cotton and some corn and
buying the balance. However,
if they will look into things
closely they will find that the
farmers who raise truck crops,
fruit, hay and stock, and en-

Police Are Seeking Caucasian
Millionaire.

Warsaw, May Is. Police
Throughout Russia are search
ing for Caucasian millionaire,
M. Shahnazarof, who fed from
this city after attempting to
murder beautiful young girl
named Sofia Sec, whom he en-
gagged as his private secretary.
The two had rooms in hotel
here, and hearing feeble cries,
the servans entered and found
the girl imprisoned in a ward
robe. She was suffering from
the effects Of poison, and later
in the hospital, told her pitiful
story.
After persuading her to &C.
company him to his estate at
Susa, the millionaire revealed
his real intentions and kept her
a prisoner for a month, inter-
cepting her letters and baking
her attempts at flight. Finally
he brought her to Warsaw,
where she determined to inform
the police. Her betrayer, how
ever, persuaded her to renounce
her complaint for the sum Of
$4,000. Instead Of paying the

Suffrage Responsible For Third
Sex Says Writer.

Sex Says Writer.
United Press Service.
| London, May 1866 "A new
sex is growing up: third sex
women who deliberately aban-
don all feminine attributes and
honestly do not care for love or
lpassion."
This, according to Sir William
Bell, member of Parliament for
Hammersmith, in an article in
the Academy, is the real reason
for the growth of the woman
suffrage movement. "The young
women Of half century ago did
wool work, also wasted thous-
ands of hours of valuable time
in practising the piano., said
Sir William. 'In nine cases out
of ten she had no taste nor in
clination for music, and is now
as defunct as her grandmother,
who swooned in graceful atti-
tudes on every occasion. Wom-
en- nowadays are taking up a
more aggressive position in the
world; they travel unchaperon-
ed; they ride alone in taxis; they
live like bachelors by themselves
in flats, if they think fit, with
out scandal. They want to
live their own lives; they do not
want to get married neither do
they expect it. They initiate
men as far as thew can in their
attire. They smoke cigarettes,
and lead useful lives as clerks,
typists, telegraphers, actuaries,
doctors, and take up a hundred
other occupations which were
formerly the sole occupation of
men. They do not want men;
they are learning to be indie
pendent of them.
II do not pretend that all wom-
en- who follow these occupations
are of this class, but | maintain
that there is a large and grow
ing proportion of what is prac-
tically a third sex. Inasmuch
as the proportion of men over
women is increasing, I see no
harm in it but good. Spinster-
hood is no longer the reproach it
was, and women lead far more
interesting and brighter lives
than they ever did before

ough to feed the stock, are the
ones who are keeping out Of
debt and doing well.
The little Spanish peanut is a
good and profitable crop. Fall
beans make a splendid truck
crop. There is always demand
for string beans in the fall at a
good price. Those who raise
sweet potatoes for the market
should get in touch with J. G..
Norden of Russellville, and join
the potato growers association.
The farmers of Arkansas should
give more attention to vegeta-
bles and small fruits for home
consumption. In this day of
high prices the farmers wives
and daughters, with the aid of
a fifteen dollar canning outfit,
can put up enough canned goods
from the surplus vegetables and
fruits on the place to furnish a
good table all through the win
ter. This is a good means of
providing good living at home
with almost no expense.
Now is the time to kill the
rooster. 1t is too late to set any
more hens until fall, and the
rooster is of no more use until
then. Kill them off and buy new
ones in the fall. The hens will
lay just as we'll without the
rooster, and the eggs will re-
main fresh a long time. The
farmers should eat eggs and
chickens produced on the farm
unless they have surplus. Eggs
and chickens served on the ia
BILE are cheaper than most any
food that can be bought in the
town and far better. Every up
land farm should have a small
bunch of goats. The kids make
fine fresh meat, and the goat be-
ing a browser is a good animal
to clean up the sassafras and per-
simmon sprouts. Just dissolve
some salt in water and sprinkle
it over the bushes or briers and
turn the goats in. They will do
the rest.

Where Anarchy Is FOstered.


United Press Service.
New York, May 18.-'Never
in their worst days were the
blacklist centers of Russia, and
other European countries where
anarchy is fostered, any worse
than certain section of New
York in regard to breeding spots
for agitation against established
government"
That statement made a few
days ago by one of the most
prominent of New York's police
officials and a man who has
studied anarchy and anarchists
for thirty years along with his
study of crime, aptly tells the
situation in this metropolis of
the Home of the Free. There
isn't a shadow of a doubt that
anarchists and radical agitators
generally have a freer reign in
New York today than they have
ever had before. And, strange
to say, the man who is insisting
on giving the public forum
speakers and agitators the loos-
est sort of ''free speech rein
is no other official than Mayor
Mitchell, who recently narrowly
escaped assassination at the
hands of a poor maniacal crank
whose mind no doubt, had be-
come violently twisted through
hearing day after day every
thing from God to government
denounced by anarchists in the
public squares.
Of course. some of these pub
lie forum speakers represent the
honest, God-fearing, reasonable
organizations, such as union la
Dor, etc., which are protesting
reasonably against certain con-
ditions that even the most con-
sentative, tory minded individ-
uals admit are all wrong But
the majority of these speakers
are preaching anarchy as black
and destructive as can be heard
anywhere.
At Union square, at the foot OF
Benjamin Franklin's statue in
Park Row, in Rutgers square,
and other public rostrums these
speakers exhort crowds. 1t is
not infrequent that a Socialist
speaker and an anarchist or an
I. w. w. exhorter begin to talk
at the same time and within a
few feet of each other. When
this happens, the speakers make
it fun for the crowds by heaping
abuse on each others heads.

NPrerogative in Refusing to Put Motion
10 a Vote.

Three members were present nj the
meeting Of the Civic League yesterday
afternoon, at five o'clock at the Chamber
of Commerce. These were the acting
president. Mrs. +. III. Williams; the see.
rotary, Miss Anita Kowalski. and the
head Of the park committee, Mrs. w. A.
Ross.
Ii appears that, al some time or 9th
er, the constitution of the organization
was amended, so as to allow any number
of members that might happen to at
tend Il meeting to constitute a quorum,
the original number required having
been ten members. Thus, although only
three were present, the business Of the
meeting was carried on.
Mrs. Ross, for the park committee, re
ported that City Engineer Davis has
made an estimate on the cost of con
Washington park, which he states will
cost in the ~neighborhood Of $lG65. Mrs.
Ross suggested that the balance Of the

Miss kowalski seconded the motion. The

mentary to dispose Of this fund in such
manner, al she felt that il was simply
held in trust by the league. There Wa,

strongly i'm favor Of the motion and urg-
ing that il be put to a vote. The presi-
dent, however, held her ground, and in
order TO avoid putting the league on rec.
ord as taking action which she did ndt
believe il should, resorted to the parlia-
mentary expedient of declining to put
the question.
Thus the matter was permitted to
stand, as unfinished business. 1t was
then suggested that the league request
the citizens who contributed the money
for the purpose of oiling the streets to
give il TO the league for the purpose of
building the proposed sidewalk.

Salem, Or-Learning that lawyers

Colonel Lawson not to pay any atten-
tion to any papers served upon him,
and to bring the saloonmen to Salem
if he could get no assurance of COOP
Grafton in the enforcement of the laws.
The Oregon Short Line was notified
by the governor not to ship any liquor
to Copperfield pending the reign of
martial law. He telegraphed Colonel
Lawson to ship liquor and bar fixtures
in the saloons to Baker and keep them
there until further notice.
That the governor intends to punish
those who disobeyed his orders was
proved when he telegraphed Circuit
Judge Anderson to hear charges
against the sheriff of Baker county.
Governor West announced that he
had engaged Frank T. Collier, an at

PRESIDENT CONFERS
WITH ENVOY LIND

Pass Christian.-Presiden Wilson
and John Lind, his personal represen-
tative in Mexico, met in the cabin OF
the scout cruiser Chester in discus
sion of the Mexican situation.
Concerning the conference, the pres
ident said there had been much ado
about nothing 1t simply cleared up
questions over which many exchanges
of messages otherwise would have
been necessary. Aside from this. he
assured his hearers that there was no
especial reason for bringing his rep
resentative back from Vera Cruz. No
new points were discussed. he said
he and Lind were merely mutually de-
sirous of a personal talk.
He declined to say whether he was
more hopeful now than hitherto Of a
speedy settlement of the Mexican
question. He would rather put it. he
said. that the situation was little
changed.
He would not permit anyone to
