WILL GRIND ALFALFA

w G.. Larue has sent IN an order tor
a small mill to grind alfalfa and Is
going to experiment with feeding cat
tie and hogs on alfalfa meal. MIR.
Larue is not going into the venture
on a very large scale TO start with and
the mill will be small one which can
be operated by a or 8 horse power
gasoline engine 1t is expected to be
here in a few days The experiment
will then be made OF feeding hogs
and pigs a mixed ration of alfalfa meal,
grain and beets 1t ought TO work out
all right for it is being done in many
other alfalfa-raising countries. In
fact in some countries nearly all the
alfalfa raised is ground into meal and
the product is shipped far and wide
over the country The meal is a great
thing for all kinds OF stock and poul-
try and it brings a good price, Should
that the cost of making the meal will
not overtop the advantages OF feeding
it. and it willshrdul shrdlu hrdluuuu
it, and that it will be money making
venture in the way of producing pork
he will probably set up mill OF some
size and capacity in the valley.

HOW BETS GROW HERE

Just to show how beets grow in this
valley and what can be done with
them after they are grown the Times
will state that William Schacht who
has as fine little ranch as there is in
the valley produced on less than three
quarters of an acre of land last sum
mer over fifteen tons of Mangelwurt-
eel and Wunzerlieben beets He has
fattened nine head of hogs and fed
twenty head of stock hogs on these
bees. All the feed any of the hogs
have received so far is beets and ALTA
ia, but Mr.. Schacht intends TO feed his
killers a good ration of grain before
butchering time, in order TO impart
flavor and firmness to the meat Top
ped off with some barley and wheat
you can bet that this beet-fed pork
will be worth eating.

SMALL BLAZE

AT an early hour on Tuesday morn
ing of this week the fire alarm brought
the fire boys out on the double-quic%.
The blaze was in the roof of the
Compton residence on Main street and
was evidently the result of an over
heated stovepipe passing through the
ceiling and roof of the house. The
morning was the Coolest of the sea-
son so it was lucky that the water
from the city hydrants did not have
to be turned on, bucket brigade
having quenched the flames so that it
was unnecessary to turn the water
through the hose. The damage to the
building was not great,

THE PRODUCERS
ASSOCIATION is NOW
A GOING CONCERN

The Producers Association held an
other very successful meeting at its
offices on last Sunday evening with
nearly full attendance of all the
stockholders and several new names
were added to the list of membership.
At the Directors meeting it was de-
cided to employ Harry Samuel as
selling agent, and p McCaffrey was
employed in the dual capacity of Sec
retary and Manager, as for the pres
en- it is thought he can fill both places.
Ambro Rosaschi, the big business man
of the East Walker section, was so
well pleased with the progress of the
cooperative plans, that he presented
the Secretary with a substantial purse
of money, to be used in getting the
affairs of the Association in good run
ming condition. Mr.. Rosaschi also
donated a premium of S. to be offered
to the pupil of any of the schools of
Mason Valley, who will submit the
most appropriate, and the best execu-
ted design, for an emblem to be used
as the seal and trade mark of the
Association V c. Bernard was ap-
pointed committee to notify the
schools, and lively competition is
looked for as the pupils will have the
entire holiday vacation to devote to
the work; no hints are given as to the
requirements, but the design must be
appropriate, and the State incorpora-
ton laws require that it be circular in
form, and the Association reserves the
right to reject any or all exhibits sub
mitted. Frank Cox, of the Times force
has suggested a design, but whether
any of the artists will act on his hints
is questionable The outline is a
shield, with mailed warrior on d
field of azure, Representing Native
Son rampant, Commis mar
couchant, holding a meat axe pnedant
over an eel-worm dormant This may
not be in strict accordance with tine
order of heraldry, and Governors
Oddie and Johnson may be asked to
pass on this important point. But
however, this may be, the Producers
Association is now an accomplished
fact, and as soon as the weather mod
crates, will be shipping all kinds oi
produce, under its seal and by its
authority.

COPPER EXPORTS
HEAVY DURING
THIS MONTH

Exports of copper during the first
,bree weeks Of December amounted
20 38,39oUOO pounds; for the week
ending December 2013,652,000 pounds.
This is more than 50,000,00O pounds
a month.
Great Britain lately has been a poor
brver. evidently not having yet re-
covered from the effects of the Ger
man coast raid. The large selling
agencies continue to quote electrolytic
copper thirty days at l3H cents, but
few if any sales are being made at
thai level. Second hand dealers report
sales at 1917 and 1895. After the brisk
buyjng movement, which has been
under way for about six weeks, the
present lull is not regarded as unnat-
ural
In its monthly review of the copper
trade. the National Conduit & Gable
Company says:
Revived interest and increased
breadth and activity were the features
in the copper market during the last
thirty days.
The substantial buying power OF
the last few weeks has greatly helped
the statistical position of copper and
the problem of accumulated supplies is
Of less concern than it was The large
orders secured recently will undoubt-
edly absorb much of the metal remain
ing in primary hands and as stocks
are worked off the situation will in
spire a greater degree of confidence
in trade circles On the basis of
present production, domestic con
sumption and foreign exports are
probably more than sufficient to take
care OF the present total refinery out
put. Home demand was recently esti-
mated at fully 100000 pounds a
month against about 25,000,000 pounds
a few months ago. Foreign demand
should require as much or more than
domcsie requirements"

THERMOMETERS DROPS LOW

Tuesday morning of this week was
the coolest of the season so far. Some
reports say the thermometer regis
tered six degrees below zero, others
that it fell to eight below and still
others declare that it dropped as low
as ten degrees below early in the
morning. AT any rate it was cold
enough and we hope the weather
mans prediction for warmer weather
is the correct dope. When the ther-
memeter gets down below zero in this
section it is surely some cold.

MINING BILL
 VOTE ASSURED
Child Labor Law Will Not Pro- hibit Children Working
 On Farm.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 9.-L. H.
 Moore, state secretary of the Arkansas Federation of Labor |states that the work of securing names to initiate the state min- ing board bill is about over, a sufficient number of signatures
 being now in sight to insure suc- cess. The agents of the Feder- ation who are in the field are now circulating a bank guaranty act, as well as child labor law peti-
 ton, and Secretary Moore hopes to have both of them ready for. filing in time to permit them to be voted upon.
 There has developed a little opposition to the child labor law through the circulation of the re- port among the farmers of the state, that under it they cannot work children under IA years of age on the farm. The bill will not prohibit children under IA from working on the farm of their parents, and it is thought that the law will not be constru- led so as to prevent children
 working in the fields during the cotton picking time. The pur- pose of the law is to prevent the working of children under IA years of age in factories and stores, and not to stop them be- ing worked at healthful outdoor occupations, there seldom being reported any cases of oppression to children on the farms. One of the objects of the child labor bill is to prevent the stand ling invitation of factories to come to Arkansas, which has no child labor law.

NUMBER 8.
Penix- YeIverton Wedding.

1 A beautiful home wedding at Tuckerman Wednesday evening was that of MT. Charles Penix and Miss Nora Yelverton, which took place at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. George w. Yelverton, at 8 o'clock Wednes- day evening.
 The wedding was very quiet home one, witnessed only by the families of the two contracting parties. Rev. w. P. Talkington, pastor of the Methodist church, was the officiating minister.
 The home was beautifully dec orated in spring colors of green and white, which appeared in every arrangement of the rooms. Refreshments of cream, cake and coffee followed the congratu- lations after the ceremony. The bride wore a handsome white chiffon wedding dress, with long veil and carried valley lilies and ferns. Miss Ruth Yelverton, who was her sister, maid of hon. or, was prettily dressed in green crepe de chine and carried white carnations.
 Mrs. Forrest Penix who played Mendelssohn's wedding march for the bridal entrance, was handsomely gowned in white charmuse with lace and pearl trimming.
 MT. and Mrs. Penix are among Jackson county's most estimable young people who carry with them through their married life the best wishes of their large circle of friends. A newly fur nished home on the groom's farm, near Tuckerman, was in waiting for them and there they have gone to housekeeping
