FOUR MEMBERS OF BOARD RESPOND
Messr Love Dunaway Shane and Parsons Make Counter Charges Against Dr. J. L. Greene, and
 Deny His Charges.

Little November Dr. J. L., Greene resigned as superintendent of the Arkansas Hospital for Nervous Diseases On November 27 he made numerous charges against the nom bers of the board. Later two of bis friends resigned from the board. the governor removed four others. and then appointed six new members. who, with Gen. Green Of Pine Bluff. one of his appoiutees, constitute the board. December II. Messrs. Love, Dunaway, Shane and Parsons, the fcur members whom the governor sought to remove, made public their reply to the charges of Dr Greene.
 In explaining the delay in their re- ply these members said:
 aIt would hardly be expected that Democratic officials. under q Demo. cratic administration. would feel call. ed upon to respond uninvited to the attacks of a Democratic newspaper when the altaCk was DdStu OH lle reckless and unsupported statements of former employe. who Confessedly had quit the service in bad humor and was bearing i'll feeling and preiu- dice against the board. especially when he was Republican and brought with him from his former home the reputation of a Republican politician As to making an eXpana- ton to the governor of the state. ve would have been unworthy to occupy such position of honor and responSi- bility had We been such inefiieients as to not know that reports to that de- partment. as well as to the lecisla ture are eustomarily and properly re qnired to be made in official and doc nmeutary form and not to partake of the character of newspaper CoatrONer- sies We hardly expected the gov ernor to require us to do SO GIT 1T lac; to take notice at all of wild and reck- less charges of conduct that i'll fact and in truth did not constitute official misconduct. if true. and the details of which. so far as true were moro or less familiar to the governor as well as other state departments"

New Power Plant.

Tho board replies at length to the charge of Dr Greene That the chief cause of contention has been the cree. ton of the new power plant for which the last legislature appropriated s75.- 000 They show that they had sought to save money to the institution, and conserve it's best interests. The re- ply says:
 The engineer contended that 10 make the change suggested by Dr Greene would weaken the building pr. Dunaway and MT. Hart agreed with the view of the engineer. Dr Greene then became very angry and In a Al of anger told the engineer, Mir. Smith. that he would appeal the mat. ter to the board and would smoke him out at the next board meeting He then communicated with the other members. who were not in town Dr Greene wanted the change made mere ly for what nc contended would be tho improved appearance of the build ing and grounds. At the board meet. ing tho matter was heard on it's mer- its. The engineer expressed no in. terest in the matter, but advised the board that 1t would result in poor construction and weaken the whole building The board agreed with the view of tho engineer and ordered that no further changes be made without an order of the whole board At this uNnpfipR aftpr tbig aHfian fal l.p and while the board was at the state hospital for it's monthly session, Dr Greene was personally insolent. offen- siye and even insulting in his Ian guage and uemeanor toward the board members That was the occasion of the beginning of the friction.

Charges All Denied.

The charges made by Dr. Greene are then enumerated and denied With reference to the attitude of Secretary Hart, the reply says:
 "The charge that the board was being gradually brought into opposi- tiou to him. and presumably so be- cause of the influence of the secretary. Hart. who forsooth had become un. friendly because of his failure to rc. spond to a proposition of the seCre. tary which was never made. is too silly tC seriously consider. lt argues nothing save that Dr Greene has a most wonderful and flexible imacinA- ton That member told him that another member said they could force him out hY not purchasing the sup plies he wanted is not q fact Nc member made any such suggestion. and so far as we know. no member told him any such thing. Some of the luNurics that pr. Greene placed on the reguisition for his own table, and cx. pensive and difficult to get, were dis. allowed because in our judgment II was the proper course 10 pursue in a zane and economical administration. Such action had no further signf. canoe As matter of fact. the re quisition for the table of the superin. tedent was far superior in variety and quality to what was asked for the em- ployes and patients. and while we did not always allow his requests In full his allowance showed a marked con, trast in quality. variety and quantity tents"

surance is given of the greatest yield

With the increased wealth derived
from the soil the purchasing power OF
the agricultural community will be

be experienced in financing the mar

in regard to the monetary situation
much significance has attached to re.

material effect upon rates for accom-

normal condition; when some ST, 000,-

THE YIELD OF WHEAT.

The average yield of wheat in the United States is about 13 bushels per acre. The average yield in Ger. many is 26 bushels, and in England 32.
 Does this argue that the soil and climate of Europe are better adapted to wheat growing than those of the United States? Not at all It proves only that careful farming on the oth- CT side of the water will produce bet. ter results than careless farming here. American cultivators who put their minds to it have no trouble in breaking the European record.
 One farmer in Illinois has averag- ed 48.S bushels of wheat per acre each year for three years. He attrib- utes his success to careful seed se- lection, as we'll as to good handling of the land
 Two professors in this state have raised 38 bushels of wheat per acre on soil so unpromising that their place used to be called Poor Land Farm .''-Chicago Journal.
