Interest in New Agriculture,


 Last week Con1-.s- .9nes Page A tended a community meeting at Ddr- vile of farmers. business men aHd road oFerseers. The purpose of the conference was the discussion of plans for the general development of that section. to stimulate greater interest in progressive farming and local i'm provements. and to arouse as far as possible the latent forces for the ad- vancement of the community. T. l.. Pound, postmaster and editor of the Danyille Democrat, Is chairman, and Representative Sam Rorex secretary.
 Last week Mr Page attended the Third District Agricultural School commencement at Magnolia During the past year there were over 300 en- rolled and there were B graduates. Last year l5 new buildings we're cree ted, including new dormitories for boys and girls, also silo and barns.
 The school has a beautiful site of i00 acres a mile and a half from Mag nolia." said Mir. Page. The operation of the school has proven a great bene- fit to that section of the state in dem onstrating the more improved methods of cultiyating the soil and growing crops adapted to the different kinds find much interest in the new lines of farming throughout the section and in portions of Ouachita, Columbia and Dallas the farmers are giving more attention to the proper growing of melons, cabbage and peanuts.
 There is a cooperative association at Mt. Holly, in Dallas county, where many farmers have almost entirely abandoned cotton and are engaged in diversified farming with especial at tention to melons and cabbage Only two weeks ago the department had m appeal from the association to find 9 market for cabbage, and we told them where it might be sold. We have a letter from the secretary announcing that they had made the sales through the assistance of the department. and had found customers who express themselves as highly pleased.
 In the vicinity of Bearaen. also. a great deal Of attention is being given to the growing Of cabbage, potatoes, melons and peanuts. Tie Southern bart of the state is especially adapted to the growing Of sweet potatoes, and several hundred acres will be raised this year

 20ah pounds corn chops at Junction City, = pounds short.
 In explaining this action on the part of the department, Commissioner Page says: We have many reports daily of onr inspectors finding hot. mouldy and rotten corn chops. It is very important that the greatest care be exercised in handling chops at this season of the year The local dealer Is not at fault unless he carelessly stores the chops where Hor enough air can get to it. anu the manufacturer is not at fault unless the goods % ont in that condition. The same trou- hie appears eveFF spring. It is large F because of eerniaation that we have % much troHt z with corn chops at this season of=the year.

Lieutenant.oovernor Amendment.

Proposed Amendment No. f6 pro yides for the election of a leutenant governor, who shall be chosen for T term Of two years.
 Some doubt has been expressed col corning the wording of the act ere ating the new office and an effort was made 10 prevent Secretary of State Earle w Hodges from certifying f out
 The clause which some contend may render the act imperative follows:
 The governor and lieutenant gov ernor elected at the next preceding election 10 the time when this sectier shall take effect. shall hold office un til and including the second Monday of September, and their successors shall be chosen at the general election in that year"
 This might be interpreted, il has been pointed out, as an effort to change the time for beginning and ending the term of office for q gov ernor.

European war has crystallized the purpose

has been formed. with officials of each gov

immunities OF all American nations in re-
spect TO the other nations OF the world
During the past three months the COM

siderably owing to the war Some dislocation

The British Naval Triumph

ADMIRAL Won SPEC accomplished a
n miracle in welding into a powerful
squadron the few German warships at lib
erty in the Pacific. He was able off the
Chilan coast. to administer a humiiiatng
defeat to Admiral Cradocks feet, sinking
the Monmouth and the Good Hope. The
quick assembling thereafter of the British
and Japanese forces rendered imperative re-
tirement TO other waters.
But there was to be found Off the Falkland
Islands as formidable an enemy that left
behind in the Pacific. British naval SUI
premacy is based on a preponderance in
numbers which Is absolutely discouraging
The result OF the fight was inevitable. Won
Spec knew Il and SO did Berlin. 1t was
simply a question of how long.
The result is a splendid triumph for Brit
ish arms and It Is almost decisive 1t prac-
tically opens the seas. without let or him
drance, to the merchantmen OF the Allies
and leaves Germany with no naval power
worth while except along its own lttoral.
1t means that the choking process. the cut
ting off of all supplies from the Fatherland
can be made more and more effective. 1t
demonstrates once more the enormous i'm
portance of naval power in wars of the first
magnitude. It is also a triumph for the

Ships for Peace and War

CtTN for gun and ship for ship the Ameri-
" can navy measures up to any in the
world That Is the opinion OF Admiral Badger
and Of the great majority of experts. What
we have is good but we haven't enough.
our peculiar geographical position makes
navy our natural defense. If adequate, II
will absolutely assure us against foreign in
vasion. There is no transport service that
can carry an army 5000 miles over sea, no
matter under how strong convoy, If threat
ened by an aggressive naval enemy Sporadic
attacks on our seaports might be antici-
pated whether our own fleets were large or
small, but they could be hit-andrun affairs
only " naval patrol were good
We are about. in one way or another, to
build and operate great merchant marine.
1t will supplement the navy by being a train
ing school for sailors, and conversely, it will
require protection in all parts of the world.
The two go together and are inseparabe.
The Monroe Doctrine can be enforced by
navy and by navy only, We have volun-
tarily assumed the defense of the Western
Hemisphere, and we must be equipped to
give that purpose meaning Had England
at any time during the last decade been dis
posed to challenge the Monroe Doctrine our
defense of our position would have been diff
cult in the extreme
There need be no hysteria there is no
cause for any. But certainly foresight de-
crees adequate assurance against loss and
disaster. Human history negatives the idea
that arbitration and justice determine the
decisions of nations. Trivial incidents are
easily magnifed into causes of war. 1t be-
hooves the United States, in sane way, to
multiply its naval power, not threat,
but solely for protection; to arm itself I'm
such a way that no other nation dare attack
it; to back it's propaganda of peace and free
dom with the compelling argument of its own
capacity to enforce either; TO strengthen It's
voice in international parliaments by the
possession of such facilities for war that
none can question the sincerity of its desire
for peace. There is militarism in that; it
is simply common sense.
But an adequate navy does not mean
navy OF the third or fourth rank, It means
navy comparable in might to any that floats
in major and in minor units, with sufficient
repair stations and supply depots at home
and in our far islands This is a burden
which the course of events has prepared for
us yet, withal, one the cost OF which will be
comparatively light in view of the great
benefits to accrue from 1t.
