To Plant Winter Crops.

I believe that the great major ity of our farmers have realized the fact that there might be a little shortage of money and feed this winter and have made preparation. In my opinion there has been and will be more oats, clovers, alfalfa and like crops soWn in Arkansas this fall than ever before. I have a very in- teresting letter from one of our South Arkansas farmers, who says, in part. Viewer in my life have I been So thoroughly con- vinced that I ought to abandon old practices, as l have this sum- mer. I have fine corn and got it by preparation and then al- most continuous shallow cultiva- ton. l have peas III the mlQdleS and expect to sell quite a few bushels. I am going to use ev- cry acre of land I can for some winter crop. I will have some alfalfa, some turf oats, some clover and I want a few acres of rye. I have found that my land is better taken care of and I save money and corn and I have Something to turn under in the spring. I see now the mistakes ] have made in the past"
 Such reports are coming in

from every section and in many
 cases the farmers are making ex- tensive preparations for winter
 feed crops. The Judsonia Truck
 Growers Association asked the
 department to help locate a car lof turf oats for fall seeding.
 Arkansas farmers will not be in very bad need of stock feed this
 winter, regardless of the price of cotton or the yield of corn. Ger tainly those farmers who are
 making their plans for rye, oats, alfalfa, etc., will not have to pay a big price for feed.
 It is rather hard to believe that we have S23,O0O,0O0 worth lof meat shipped into Arkansas yearly and we have only about a
 Se0, 100000 cotton crop. It is hard,to believe that there is S12,- 100000 annually spent for dai- ry products from other States that could be raised in Arkansas. Owe rhalf of our cotton money spent for two articles. that we could raise at home if we would.
 One of the greatest reasons why we have depended on other States to furnish feed, butter and meat is because we have never been so familiar with the growing of winter crops and too familiar with cotton to the ex- clusion of grain and hay crops. The great movement now on for winter cover crops will be far reaching and before many years we will raise our own feed in agricultural pursuits. We are paving the way for more live stock.

After Automobile Speeders.

Special to Independent. Little Rock, August 25.-The Little Rock police are enforc- ing rigidly the law against auto mobile speeding. Special officers have been put at work, running down this class of offenders, and many arrests have been made every day. Instructions are when caught exceeding fifteen miles an hour.
 Already one city official and one prominent county official have been brought into police court and fined. It is realized that drastic rules must be made to protect the public from the speed demons. Members of the council are discussing the advis- ability of passing an ordinance providing for the licensing of all drivers of cars ercept the owner himself, making convic- tion for fast driving sufficient ground for revocation of li- cense.

Under such conditions what would seem to be 8 strong denial of some of the atrocities must be given proper allowance.
 The difficulty or getting the truth at this time concerning such affairs must be recognized when 1t is under stood how closely all communications are / restricted. Whether atroci- ties have been or are being con-
 nitted by any or all of the countries involved will be known in time, but it will require time to determine their extent and whether they followed as a general policy or were the acts of irresponsible individuals.

RETAIL PRICES.

The country at large Is following with keen interest every move which is being made in Washington pre- paratory to the levying of the war revenue tax. Consideration has been given to the placing of a tax upon many things, but the report which will be submitted to congress has but three recommendations, providing for a three per cent. tax upon freight and increases for beer and domestic wines.
 In connection with this decision and as an illustration of the operation of the freight tax Chairman Underwood says: "A man who does business aggregating $10.oo0 in freight bills would pay a revenue tax Of $500. A freight bill of that size would indi- cate an actual business of $1,000. .oo0 or $l.500.000. A $500 tax spread over that amount Of business would be in finitessima1 and could have almost no effect on retail prices"
 The idea of freight tax is seme- thing new in the way of obtaining ad- ditionaI revenue and if adopted will be carefully followed, for while Mir Underwood may be of the opinion that 1t "cou1d have almost no effect on re- tail prices'' experience tells a differ ent story. All things are of course possible and 1t may result as the chair man of the ways and means commit tee figures but if it does it will be the first time that the opportunity of making good. to the full amount if not a little bit more, by shifting the burden onto the consumer was neglect ed. It is easy to see what ought not to be done, but it invariably differs from what actually is done.

 I have always been pleased to re- member an incident which followed a former vacation to an island off the New England coast Arriving late and having no quarters reserved. l was forced to take a room in a cot tage some distance from the hotel. Such a plain little dwelling it was, too, and such tiny. plainly furnished room!
 To the middle-aged woman of the family & trip to the mainland was an event to date from. With pardonable insular curiosity she was interested in all did and said; and when I had finished reading my daily Bulletin, she lighted with eagerness on it's patterns, which so many other women find helpful and useful. When l gave her permission to clip these daily. she was delighted.
 On leaving. I promised to send her a number of the clipped patterns from time to time and kept up the practice for several years, frequently adding a fashion catalogue, or notes on styles from one source or another.

THE WAR ATROCITIES.

Just how much credit can be given to tho stories of atrocities which are coming from all sides of the European csnflict is a puzzle. They arc sub ject in all cases to exaggeratton through repetition, while sympathy with one army or another is bound to carry certain amount of colorins and emphasis.
 The signed statement of the news paper men from this country to the effect that the reports of wrongs and cruelties were untrue to the best of their knowledge in certain sections where the war had been waged gave support to the belief that prejudice had served to bolster up tho stories of conduct fin violation of the rules of

TIRED OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.

Not only by the greatly decreased registRtion figures. but by the fail- ure to place candidates in the field or inc subsequent withdrawal of candi- dates named. is the futility of the pro- sressive cause being manifested this fall. As a Roosevelt delegate to the Chicago convention from the state of Maine now says: There Is no excuse for desertion from the republican ranks. The business and moral e1e- ments of the party are sounder. than ever"
 In the state of New Hampshire the progressives have decided to give their support to Senator GaIlinger for re- election that the services of this val uahie statesman may be retained for the good of the state and nation in stead of contributing to the election of democrat.
 After a conference upon the part of the Pennsylvania progressfves Dean Lewis, who resigned his college posi-
 ton to accept the nomination for gov ernor has withdrawn, and while he has declared in favor of the demo- cratic nominee, It is simply a release of the progressive voters for the ex- ercfse of their best judgment in the choice of the governor.
 The uselessness of maintaining a separate fight has been realized in each of these instances. The main tenance of progressive ticket is but an aid to the democratic candidate. It has been in the past and it can only be in the future. Such means the encouragement of principles against which they are lighting and the de- fiections from the third party's ranks is one of the best indications that they have had enough of democratic poli- cies

OTHER VIEW POINTS

MT. Brandegee is the candidate of the convention to succeed himself as United States senator. No other can- didate was mentioned. He will have good standing before the voters this fall, for many of them perceive the desirability of retaining unbroken our present excellent representation in the upper house, of having the gentlemen there now continue their necessarily unfinished work. MT. Brandegee stands for the best of the republican principles. He is not only the choris- ter of the convention, but he will set the note and the pace in the repub'i- can campaign all along the line this fa1l-New Haven Register.
 It looks now as if the chamber of commerce idea has taken root and that one will be organized in New Britain. The meeting last evening was along the right lines, the senti- ment was for the organization. the in- dications are that the problem is thoroughly understood and when the chamber is organized there will be no doubt but that every feature will bs well known to those interested. The organization will be just what New Britain needs and it's success will de- pend on just how much energy and interest the business men give to the movement-New Britain Herald.
 The telephone company probably would not vociferously object to the occasional lending of telephone call as an isolated convenience or in emer- gency. But it does object, and reason ably, to the free and unrestricted public use of telephones which it has leased for private. or restricted use. Furthermore. a large proportion of those who now borrow a telephone call would be perfectly willing-in many cases would prefer-to pay their own shot for the preservation of self respect and the privilege of securing privacy in a telephone booth. Those who protest the hardest are the least deserving of consideration.-Wat American.
