General Gonzales
 Claims Presidency
cONSTITUTIONALIST LEADER AN NOUNCES HE WILL BE PRO-
 VESIONAL RULER

Washington, Nov. 29. State Department advices today re- ported that Gen. Pablo Gonzales, now at Pachuca with 8, GOO troops, had proclaimed himself provi- sional president of Mexico. He hitherto has been regarded as loyal to Carranza. Gonzales was one of the foremost leaders of the Constitutionalist army in the campaign against Huerta.
 After the Aguas Calientes con- vention Gonzales disapp care d southward with his army. The reports which came from Aguas Calientes threw little light upon the latest complication in the Mexican situation. It is not be- lieved here that Gonzales with his comparatively small forces, will be able to interfere with the forces of Provisional President Gutierrez and General Villa for the joint triumphal entry into Mexico City.

MODERN FAIRY TALE.

A patient little mother had just tucked her fve-year-old daughter in bed and was about to leave the room when the youngster called her back.
 "Yes, dear," answered the mother, returning to the bed side, what do you want?'
 'I'm not very sleepy yet, " said the child, appealingly. Won't you tell me a fairy story?"
 Wait few minutes, dear, " replied mamma, with just a tinge of hardness in her voice. Your father will soon be home and he will tell us both one."

ST TOck o WIN E R s WAR N E D
 AGAINST IMPOSTERS

Reports are now beginning to come in to the department from several of the states quarantined for the foot-and-mouth disease that persons who have no con- nection whatsoever with tn e department are attempting to pass themselves off as Federal inspectors. There are SC era possible motives that might ac- count for the existence of these imposters. In the outbreak of 1908 there were instances of men who obtained money from credulous victims who believed that in this way they would escape the inconvenience of quar- antine and disinfection. This is, of course, a very simple form of extortion. Another motive may be the sale of some quack rem edy for the disease.
 Stock owners can protect them selves very easily against this fraud, for there is no specific remedy for the foot-and-mouth disease. Since the germ has never been isolated, it has never been possible as yet to find any serum that would act either as a cure or preventive, and the public may be quite certain that anyone who says that he is an emplyee of the Department of Agriculture, and at the same time attempts to sell or even re- commend anything of the sort, is simply an imposter. For this reason stock owners are warned not to allow strangers to visit their stock or attempt any dem- onstrations of so-called cures by l injections or otherwise.
 There is, moreover, very great danger that such people might disseminate the disease. It is a well-known fact that the germs can be carried on clothing. In infected territory, therefore, it is quite possible that a man who has come in contact with stricken animals may bring the disease tc a perfectly healthy herd. This also accounts for much of the spread of hog cholera.
 The department therefore re- comments all farmers to keer their animals from contact with all save those who have definite business with them.

The kansus City
 livestock Market
PRIME QUALITY BEEF WILL BE IN DEMAND FOR CHRIST
 MAS TRADE.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. 30, 1914.-The cattle market closed last week firm, and with good promise for the coming week. Receipts today were 19,- 900 head, but the market is slow and steady to weak on COWS and medium to common killers, steady to strong on stockers and feeders, 15 to 25 lower on good to choice killing steers. There are large number of pre- tty good feed steers here today, and the market has a limited capacity for that kind.
 Medium and common cattle are needed to fill contracts for foreign shipments of meat, but sales of dressed beef are cut down more than usual this year by poultry, which is retailing at reasonable prices. Prime quality beef steers will have an outlet for the Christmas trade. but the middle class steer may be a disappointment till after the holidays. However, the weak ness today should not be taken as evidence of the collapse of the fat steer market, but rather merely that buyers are taking advantage of a chance to gain concessions.
 The fat cattle marketis is more question of the relations between supply and demand for the mo- ment, as nobody is fortified with a large stock of beef. Some fed natives brought S9.80 today, in- dicating lack of prime quahty..v Prime natives brought S7 today, but the 33 cars that arrived from below the quarantine line were mainly common stuff, canner COWS at $4.60 to S5.25, and low price d steers, $5.25 to $6.25. Kansas and Missouri are proving themselves able to hold up the market on stockers and feeders, sales steady to strong today, largely at $6.50 to $7.50, a few cattle both above and below these figures. Colorado has some cat tie here this week, but few will come from the mountain section after this week.
 Hogs arrived to the number of 19, 900 head today, market 20 to 25 lower. Order buyers paid the top $7.45, but packers stopped at S7.35, and their droves cost around $7.30; bulk of sales $7.20 to $735. Chicago is expecting to be able to ship hogs east by tonight, but there is a hitch in the program, and unless permis- sion is secured from Washing ton by tomorrow, large orders will be filled here, and prices may jump up. Quarantines are about to be lifted from the vari- ous states, and when Iowa is turned loose there will be a flood of hogs marketed from tha t state. Hence hog prices for the immediate future are a big gam ble.
 Sheep and lambs sold steady today, top lambs $9.10, lacking 10 cents of being first-rate qual- ity. The Chicago market closed 25 lower today, with best lambs selling at 1925. Lamb values are about as high as shippers can reasonably expect them to go at this time. Yearlings sell up to $6.72, fed ewes $5 to $5. .25, feeding lambs $6. 75 to S7.50.

Hogs For Cotton

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ADVISES FARMERS TO GROW LIVE STOCK AS A MONEY
 CROP

LIVE STOCK AS A MONEY
 CROP
 Washington, Dec. 2.-F our measures are being recommend ed by the U. s. Department of Agriculture to the farmers of the south in order to remedy the conditions created by the collapse of the cotton market. These are:
 1. The reduction of expenses by the production of more food for the family and more grain and forage for the live stock.
 2. The substitution of other money crops for part of the cotton acreage.
 3. The raising of more live stock.
 4. The addition of humus to the soil in order to make ferti- lizer less expensive.
 The first thing to be done, says the government specialists, is to plant winter crops to be used partly for winter and partly for spring grazing, partly for spring hay and grain, and partly for cover crops to be turned back into the soil for fertilizing pur- poses. These crops should in- clude oats for grain, and oats, barley, or rye for hay, and any one of these for winter and spring grazing or for humus value. Alt h ou g h Oct Der and November are the best month for planting these crops in. go cotton country, but the aq-e asy be extended into the wi9so 's thlT hSlThe winter crops should besfolls"S3 by summer legumes such as cowpeas soy beans, etc. Fall and winter vegetables should be planted for home use and for the market.
 Hogs are recommended as the best form of live stock to grow. Immediate steps should be taken to increase the profits from hogs and hog products by the planting of crops for winter and spring grazing, ito be followed by sum- mer and fall crops for the same purpose. Growers are also being warned to take rigid precautions against hog cholera. If strict quarantine measures are adopted and if the animals, when threat ened, are inoculated with anti hog-cholera serum, grow should suffer little loss from this source.
 A system of diversified farms recommended to Arkansas far mers is to divide their crops as follows: one-third corn, one third cotton, and one-third oats, followed by peas on one-half of the area and lespedeza on the other half. The reason for the lespedeza is that it would be i'm possible to plant peas on all the oats stubble and cultivate corn and cotton at the same time. Even if the lespedeza does not grow large enough for hay it may be cut for seed. The seed value and the fertilizer value should be worth $10 per acre.
 In this rotation the corn should be ked so that the land be- t le shocks may be ploweo or u 5;ed, thus utilizing a slack time in August or early Septem- ber.. When hogs are kept ir considerable numbers anot h I promising plan is as foll 0 ws
 1. One-fourth, cotton plus g winter legume;
 2. One-sixteenth, peas; one sixteenth, soy beans to be hoggeC down; one-eight, corn with peas between for hogging down;
 3. One-sixteenth, peas; one. sixteenth, soy beans for August o,,ft;oo and how. Opooiuht corr

Farm Schools
 Do Great Work
ARE HELPING BOYS AND GIRLS TO BUILD UP H ONES AND
 FARMS

FARMS
 One of the most striking fea- lures of the Profitable Farming Campaign is the part being taken in it by the four District Agricul- tural schools. Before the cam paign started even active interest was taken in it by V. c. Rays, of the Jonesboro school, G. A. Cole, of the Russellville school, Frank Horsfall, of the Monticello school, and E. E. Austin, of the Mangnolia School. These farm ing men not only got out and worked on the campaign them selves, but they enlisted the sup port of the men and women as- sociated with them in the school.
 No other state perhaps has such schools as these in Arkansas. They are called by those who know their work, "The Backbone of the State." They are the re- suit of the pioneer work done by Geo. A. Cole and the Farmers Union. Some years ago the farmers all over the State saw the need for such schools as these, and they made a success ful fight to get them.
 The schools are located in the geographical center of each of the four sections of the State. There are no entrance require ments." If a boy or girl fifteen years of age, he or she may at- tend any one of these schools at minimum cost. The idea in founding these schools was to train the farmer boys tQ. be a bet ter farmer, and the farmer girl to be better home-maker. That was four years ago. Today the schools have over one thous- and farmer boys and girls, not only from Arkansas, but from other states, who are training themselves, not to teach farming, but to go back to the farm home and make farming and home building a success.
 One of the reasons for the suc- cess of these schools is that each one is managed by a local board of five members, all of whom are farmers. Thus, the schools are run by farmers, are filled with farmers children, and the instructors are farmer men and farmer wom en. They ar e schools of the farmer, and for the farms. The cost to the State per student was only $90 and this paid tuition, room, heat and light and all the incl dentals except board. The board bill for each student for nine months was about S100 and the text book bill average only about $7.50 apiece.
 Some of the boys and girls are , working their way through the schools, and the schools now have applications for three thous- , and young men and women who want to work their way through. , Of course all of these applica- , tions cannot be taken care ot l owing to lack of accommodations. The farmers who have support.
  ed the schools are working now to get more money to build more dormitories to take care of the l earnest young men and Womer who want to live on and build ur the farms in this State.
 Theory has no part in the : schools. Work is what counts The boys work in the fields anc with the livestock, and in the shops. The girls work in the kitchen and in the laundries' and in the sewing rooms, and in the domestic art department, They learn not only how to plan anC 11..1 :. L,,4 l,o,,, 4,

BENEFIT OF ROADS TO MONA
 BUYING PROPERTY OWNERS.

The road-bulldlng specialists of the department, in Bulletin No. 236, entitled "Highw ay Bonds," have the following to say about the benefit of a we'll constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be impso- ved:
 In planning the high ay system or the main market roads it will be found necessary to omit many roads the improvement of which is greatly desired by abutting land owners. The fact such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is well planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the improvement. AS rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas, and when they are im- proved all land values tend to in- crease.
 The fact that cities and larger towns gre frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of de- bate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns highway bond money should also be use to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to tn e assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bond issues were dis tributed in this way, their pur- pose in many cases would be de- feated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets, although a high percentage of the assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure of city taxes on country roads is sound prin- ciple and that 1t is one of the best features of state aid for highways In Massac h u S Us the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total state highway fund, but not a mile of State-aid highway has been built within it's limits. New York City also pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the state highway bonds. Some state laws prohibit the expenditure of proceeds of state highway bonds within cor porate limits of cities or town.
 The improvements of market roads results in improved market ing conditions, which benefit : the city. Most cities are essen tially dependent upon the sur rounding country for their pros perity and development. The . development of suburban prop cry for resident purposes is also dependent upon highway con- ditions, and it is becoming evi- dent yearly that whatever makes , for an increase in rural popula- tion must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic country highway are used to ar increasing extent by city resi- dents. In fact, the cost of maintaining many country high ways has been greatly increased , by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general ad- : vance in facilities for doing coun. try business from town head quarters when roads are improv ed is no inconsiderable factor ir the commercial life of the com !, munity.
