IN STATE INSTITUTIONS

Little Rock, Feb. lit will be
necessary for the next legislature to
make provisions for additional accom-
modations at the State Hospital for
Nervous Diseases and the Confeder-
ate home. While the present accom-
modatons are adequate, both institu-

facilities will soon be needed to take
care of them.
There were 1884 patients in the in
sane asylum on February /, an in

OLD COURTHOUSE MOVED

Last Monday morning the workmen
began to make arrangements to move
the old courthouse to the south part
of the court square, in order that the
contractors might begin at once to
place material on the ground for the
new one
1t was quite interesting to see the
movements of those who happened to
be looking. Some were looking on &C
count of mere curiosity, others hated
to see the old relic molested, while
others wondered if there was not some
way that they might have one of the
old stone chimneys, which have graced
the building since it was built, and if
same could not be transferred to their
residence in the same shape that it
was now standing. One man said they
were the best chimneys ever built and
another said he had rather have one
of them by his residence than all the
stoves in Heber Springs. But they're
here is no more and they have gone to
their reward by being used to help
build more substantial and better
looking courthouse for Cleburne
Springs Headlight.

COURT TODEC|DE
WHO OWES FOR
KEEFER CANDY
Confectioners Sue for $53 for
Goods Bought by Wife-Hus-
band Awaiting Separation.

A peculiarly knotty question at law
will be decided in the Municipal Court
next week, namely:
Pending legal separation, the
husband presumably is liable for the
necessities required by the wife,
which, in the case OF Mrs, Grace
Macy Keefer, are alleged (by Mrs.
Keefer) to include some $3.50 worth
Of sailed almonds. ice cream fruit
punch and chocolates the same con-
shutting bill of particulars supplied
by the Nunnally Company to Mrs.
Keefer in the months Of June and
July 1913.
The position of the Nunnally Com
pany in the matter is businesslike in
The extreme-the concern merely de-
sires payment of the bill, and has
started suit
Husband 10 Cemplaeent.
David H. Keefer's position also is
easily understood: He being no longer
Mrs. Keefer's maintainer the bill does
not interest him, except as an exhibit
in what he thinks IL extravaganza.
Mrs. Keefer, who set out to build
model apartments for the occupancy
of bachelor girls and to reform At
lanta cafes by investigating their
kitchens in a dish washing capacity,
asserts that at the time the Nunnally
account was being compiled she was
not separated from Mr.. Keefer, and
hence he was legally and morally re-
sponsible for her necessities"
Wherefore, Mrs. Keefer, in filing
with Howard G. Stevens, a deputy
municipal clerk her reply to the suit
Of the Nunually Company, asserts
that the chocolates. fruit punches,
sailed almonds, minis and various
consignments of varlegated ice cream
all were very necessary to her main
tenance in a state of health and COM
fort, and not luXuries in the COM
monty accepted sense of the term.
Clerk no Authority, He Says.
Mr.. Stevens himself is not in po-
sition to say that Mrs. Keefer's reply
TO the Nunnally suit is valid one.
"Caramels and salted almonds are
not necessary to my own existence"
he said, cautiously, but ! am not
prepared to say that such items are
not absolutely requisite to the exist
ence of somebody else.
I'VE are not all alike you see. 1t
is strictly a question for the court to
decide"

The MeddLer
"Lf tie coat fits you, put 1t on"

The quiet which has prevailed dur
ing the summer of this political year
among candidates for county once
seems to be giving way to activity on
the part Of the various aspirants, and
the campaign from now until election
time in November promises to be one
of more than usual interest. One thing
which is likely to add uncertainty to
the situation is the existence of the
Progressive party. After the election
of 1912 the Republican candidates for
county offices were surprised to dis
cover that had the Progressives and
Democrats effected fusion "a wholesale
turnover would have been the result.
1t is safe to say, however, that the Re
publicans were no more surprised at
this outcome than were the Democrats
and Progressives themselves. Whether
such combination is possible this
year is wholly a matter of conjecture,
but there is no doubt that the leaders

Chairman Bacon of the public SER
vice commission is said to have called
on President E. G. Smith and Attorney
Q w Writers of the Central Vermont
railroad for an explanation of the de-
lay in starting work on the union sta
tons at Brattleboro and Burlington,
both of which were ordered some time
ago under agreements to which the
railroad itself was a party. The expla-
nation of the delay in Burlington was
that the Central Vermont and Rutland
roads were unable to agree about the
lease of yard privileges, while the de-
lay at Brattleboro was laid to trouble
over getting detailed plans and specif-
cations. However, railroad officials are
said to have promised the public SER
vice commission to start work on the
Brattleboro and Burlington projects in
the near future. In this connection it
is interesting to note that the $780,
600 which the Central Vermont claims
it has been ordered to spend in grade

provements includes improvements or

FERTILIZERS for FALL SEED
ING and TOP DRESSING

Many farmers are finding it to their

practice and seed down il the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the most
progressive farmers put on top-dressing

las have been approved by the Yer

found thoroughly reliable.

If we had no domestic sugar indus
try at this time, there is every reason
to believe that famine prices would
prevail during the next few months.
If, on the other hand, the domestic pro-
duction of sugar from American soil
We're developed up to the point where
we could grow all the sugar we con
sumo, we should be entirely independ-
ent of the outside world and this would
impart still greater stability to condi-
tiOns and prices. Interference with the
world 5 sugar supply by general Eu-
ropcan war will not often occur. it is
devoutly to be hoped, but other causes
affect it frequently. In the summer of
1911, for example, prospective short
age of million tons in the world S
crop sent prices up two cents a pound,
and it was only when the American
supply of beet sugar began to come
upon the market in the early autumn
that prices returned to their former
level. Numerous other illustrations
| could be brought forward to show that
the American people as d whole, and
the consumers Of the country in partic-
ular, have much to gain by the devel-
opment of an American sugar supply
| sufficient for the needs of the American
people, and conversely that they will
suffer heavily by the destruction of
the domestic industry through inimical
| legislation.

1t is often said that convention dele
gates who are pledged are mere mes
sengers without power to act according
to their own wishes or use their own
judgment. But isn't that just what
they are supposed to be-messengers of
the voters who send them to the con
ventions? Unpledged delegates, on the
other hand, are very apt to become par
ties to eleventh hour deals such as
have brought the caucus and eonven-
ton system into disrepute. These are
facts that should be borne in mind be
