PRAYER ASKED FOR

Bishop of Brazil, Here for Church

Efforts are being made in Atlanta

a 100000 church home in Brazil, fol-
lowing the appeal made by the Right

DEMONSTRATING FRIED
 MAN CURE.

To demonstrate the value of the Friedman cure for tubercu- losis, Hugh w. Gates, who has secured the rights for the treat ment in the Southwest, with of flee and labratories in Little Rock, has made arrangements to give the treatment to persons suffering with the dreaded dis ease in charitable institutions in the vicinity of Little Rock. The treatment will be given free, and the first patients will probably be children at an orphanage To- cated in the suburbs. There are several children here, as well as parents who are unable to care for themselves who are suf- fering with tuberculosis. Mir. Gates has volunteered to take these, even the advanced cases, and demonstrate what the cure will do for them. The offer has been accepted, so in few months the people of Arkansas may know, from actual treatment of people under favorable condition what may be expected of this cure.
 Quite a few people have visit ed Little Rock to secure the treatment in the past few months, many of them coming from far away points, and all have claimed they have been highly benefited.

SOIL NEEDS PROTECTION
(By Martin Nelson, Director, Ark. Experiment StatiOn.l

The surest way of increasing crop yield is by increasing the amount of vegetable matter in the soil. In the absence of live stock to produce manure the best and cheapest way of enriching the soil is to grow crops and blow them into the soil. Such crops can be grown when corn and cot ton are not occupying the land, and such crops will, therefore, splendidly protect the soil from
 washing during the winter
 months. But that is not all. A winter grown crop takes up plant food and prevents it from leach
 ing in heavy rains. Here is a
 wonderful advantage that our climate makes possible for us, namely, to SOW a crop in the fall that will keep our soil from washing away, keep the plant food from being lost and make a large growth to blow down to enrich our land for large crop yields. On soil so treated is where we get best returns from fertilizers from the use of better seed and from better tillage of the soil.
 A number of crops will do this for us and this is the season for sowing them. Rye is excellent for all parts of the State. Oats and wheat may be used in the same way but they usually make smaller growth. Hairy vetch sown with the grain crops adds to the benefits. Crimson clover
 Burr clover or vetch do well for the purpose on level land. Rye is the best general cover crop.
 It will grow everywhere and pro- tects the soil we'll. Sow four to six pecks alone or four pecks with two pecks of vetch. Sow before the middle of September if possible.

UP TO SUPREME COURT

It will probably be up to Ar kansas Supreme Court to whip some sort of measure that will hold water, out of Amendment No. 16 which gives to Arkansas a distinguished parsonage, to be known as Lieutenant Governor. This amendment is a creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. It would appear as though it has been adopted by a majority of those voting on the subject in the recent election, but even it's adopted is a question that must be solved by the Supreme Court.
 Should the Supreme Court de- eide the amendment to be legal ly adopted it will still be an office without an officer, for the law becomes effective September 1, 1915, and no provision is made for the election of a Lieutenant Governor until in the election of 1916.
 The amendment is full of holes, but since it has been adopted by a majority of those voting on the measure, the Su- preme Court may take upon it. self the duty of being official law maker and straighten out the kinks.
 Amendment No. 10, the cele- brated Initiative and Referen- dunn amendment to the Consti- tuition, so changed the constitu- tion that all amendments sub mitted under it shall be adopted by a majority of votes cast on the subject. The old section of the Constitution required a ma jority of all votes cast in the election. This section puts Amendment No. IA, the Munici- pal Bond Issue Amendment, in the clear, for it received a large majority of those voting on the measure, while it lacked by sev- eral thousand a majority of all those voting in the election.
 Amendment No. 16 shows a copy of section of the old Consti- tuition in it's first section, con- taining even the references to foot notes which were at the bot tom of the page, and which are not shown in the new amend ment. These flaws will not af- feet the legality of the measure but they show how loosely it was drawn.
 If the Supreme Court irons out the amendment and makes a good one out of 1t, Arkansas will have to go on in it's present way of making the President pro tenn of the Senate act for Governor when he is without the state, or should he become incapacitated, until a selection is made to fill the office in the Democratic pri- maries of 1916, and this selec- tion is ratified in the election that fall. The Lieutenant Gov ernor can then be inaugurated with the Governor in January 1915. A new and better drawn amendment could be submitted and adopted so that the new off cer could take office by that time.

COOL WEATHER PUT END
 TO ANTHRAX GERM

Anthrax in Arkansas stock is history for this year according to Dr. R. w. Cow, state vereri- marian, because of the cool wea- ther, which has put an end to the anthrax germ for the time being. Dr. Cow states that the germ merely goes to sleep for the winter, though the animal affected may throw off the para site. Under favorable condi- tions the germs will become ac- tive again next year causing a epidemic, such as was experien- ced in certain localities during the past summer.

U. S. WAR ON TURKS
IMPOSSIBLE, STAND
TAKEN BY WILSON
President Awaits Explana-
ton of Shots at 'Tennessee's
Marines, But Is@ Firm
Against Hostile Retaliation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The Presi-
dent is determined that the United
States shall not be involved in war with
Turkey. II the Turkish officers acted
without the authority Of the ottoman
Government in firing on the launch OF
the Tennessee, or II the act we're justi e
fed by naval procedure in a closed
port it is confidently believed here that
the Ottoman Government will render an
apology for the Smyrna AFFAIR.
The Administration, II was declared
today at the State Department, will deal
with Turkey as 1t did with Mexico, that
is, pursue a "watchful waiting" policy.
The President expected reports from
Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantino-
pie, supplementing the meagre advices
which thus far have come from the Medl-
terranean concerning the Smyrna Incl
dent. But, meanwhile, Captain Benton
G. Decker, commanding the Tennessee,
has been instructed not to repeat the
action of Rear Admiral Mayo at Tam
pico who brought matters to a climax
in Mexican waters by assuming the as-
HTeSSlVe, rake no aCllOn whiCh might
embarrass or involve the United States, -
is the substance of messages sent to the
commanders of both the Tennessee and
tho North Carolina.
The theory that the shots from the
Turkish guns which dropped around the
Tennessee's launch were discharged as
messages of friendliness and good will.
still is uppermost in the minds of Ad-
ministration officials, and 80 far the in
depreciation placed on the incident by
London that Germany melted Turkey to
fire a shot In reprisal of the Manila Bay
incident OF Spanish-American war days Is
not accepted.
But no avenue through which authentic
advices may speed to Washington has
been untraversed. Cable communication
with the near East Is slow, but until more
definite news arrives, watchful waiting
will prevail.
One strong ray of hope was lodged in
the minds of State Department today
that the regular and constituted Turkish
officials have left Smyrna and that tho
shots fired at the Tennessee were the
work Of an irresponsible fanatic. Strong
that this is the case have
reached the United States Government
from various foreign sources, Germany,
in particular. Is anxious TO put the best
possible face upon the act OF its ally in
the war and, It is understood. Is laying
every scrap OF information 1t receives
from Constantinople before the State De-
partment, with the idea OF Rllaying all
possible apprehension that the United
States will be compelled to take measures
Of reprisal.

SICK MAN OF EUROPE
NOW "IMBECILE" TURK
London Sees Trouble for Germany in
Shot at U. S. Flag.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Daily News,
commenting on the Tennessee incident,
says:
"The proceedings of the Turkish au-
thorlties appear to be inexpllcaby inn
becilic. Only one thing is clear. and that
is that Germany's new ally is already
beginning to cost it a great deal more
than 1t Is worth. Presumably, German
influence will be brought promptly to
bear to compel Turkey to apologize for
its outrageous behavior.
Even so, the incident is certain to at
tract great deal more attention in a
country extraordinarily jealous OF its
citizens rights. like the United States
than all the cajoleries of any number of
German diplomatists put together"
Diplomats here comment on the news
as a German effort to impress the Turks
and at the same time get even for the
Admiral Dewey incident in Manila Bay.
senor Don Augustin Edwards, Chilian
Minister here, with the sympathetic help
of the British Government has Just sue
eeeded in Strengthening what the British
Foreign Office terms "a most unfortunate
incident" caused by an uncensored, ir-
responsible report concerning Chilian neu-
trality, which appeared in newspaper re-
ports from special correspondents near
the scene of the naval battle on the
Chilian coast. These purported TO give
TO the public highly important informa-
ton about Chilis violation of neutrality
in favor OF the Germans.
The British Government has issued an
apology to Chilli and an unqualified de-
nunciation of false inslnuations. 1t is
remarked with a touch of humor that IL
this is a sample of the war correspond
ents' reports for which lenlency by the
censor Is urged it is high time 20 make
the censorship more severe.
