SEES PROGRESSIVE RURAL V|C|N|T|FS COMMISSIONER PLEASED AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS HELP TO BETTER FARMING
 CONDITIONS.

Little Rock, June II 11.-Commission- CT Page is attending a community meeting at Danville, of farmers. busi- ness men and road overseers. The purpose of the conference is the dis cussion of plans for the general de- velopment of that section, to stimu- late greater interest in progressive farming and local improvements, and to arouse as far as possible the la tent forces for the advancement of the community. T. l.. Pound, post master and editor of the Danville Democrat, is chairman, and Repre- sentative Sam RoreX is secretary MT. Page will also attend the Agri- cultural School commencement at Russellville
 Last week Mr. Page attended the Third District Agricultural School commencement at Magnolia During the past year there were over 300 enrolled, and there were 13 graduates. Last year 15 new buildings were erected, including new dormitories for boys and girls, also silo and barns. "The school has a beautiful site of 400 acres a mile and half from Magnolia" said MT. Page. "The op- eration of the school has proven a great benefit to that section of the state, in demonstrating the more inn proved methods of cultivating the soil and growing crops adapted to the different kinds. l find much interest in the new lines of farming through out the section and in portions of Ouachita, Columbia, and Dallas, the farmers are giving more attention to the proper growing of melons, cab bage and peanuts.
 "There is cooperative association at Mt. Holly in Dallas county, where many farmers have entirely abandon ed cotton and are engaged in diversi- fled farming with especial attention to melons and cabbage. Only two weeks ago the department had an appeal from the association to find a 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 Bearden, also, great deal of attention is being given to the growing of cabbage, po- tatoes, melons, and peanuts. The southern part of the state is especial ly adapted to the growing of sweet potatoes, and several hundred acres will be raised this year"
 Next week MT. Page will make trip to Ouachita and with party of citizens will visit the melon fields and diversified farm sin the vicinity of Elliott, Holly Springs, and Bear den Mr. Page says that since many of the farmers in the Holly Grove vicinity have abandoned cotton, they are out of debt, have lifted their mortgages, are able to live independ- ently, and have bank accounts.

at all times there Is a running fire
of comedy lines that fairly scintillate
with brilliancy. The audience is con-

inserted.

BY ADELINE CARRIER WELLS

Crime, minus romance, minus nero
les, minus extenuating circumstances,
Is the basis of Roland Burnham Mo-
lineuxs 1.-THE Man inside" which IS
presented at the Newark Theatre iris
week.
AS the play unfolds the watcher is
interested, but not enthusiastic. There
is the n-Belasco's efforts al
ways hold conviction-that one is rub
bling shoulders with the Underworld,
but in the knowledge there is no ex-
hilaration. We theatre-goers prefer
the semhlance OF sincerity to sincerity
itself. The spectacle Of human beings
wallowing in the social gutter, end
actually living their lives in kind
of contentment, shakes our well-fed,
placid nerves. Our conservative proc
esses of thinking are quite upset oy
the knowledge which "The Man In
side" thrusts at US; that criminals
do not sit about in fear and trem-
bling and remorse between crimes
Rather do they enjoy the chase-the
chase for their freedom, sometimes
their lives-for it's own sake. A
strange footstep on the stair sends
every nerve of the criminal rallying
to Il concerted effort to outwit the
one who steps. 1t is a part Of life's
game as he elects to play it and he is
unafraid.
Just try it once" says Josh Hayes
to the young assistant district attor-
ney, who is bent upon discovering the
why and wherefore of criminology,
"and you'll know. It's the greatest
game in the world"
This, perhaps, is the greatest reve-
lation 1.-THE Man Inside has to give.
It far outweighs the preachment that
is given to us in a tidy little capsule
at the end: that every sort Of en-
deavor begins in thought, and that If
man thinks right he can do no
wrong.
Briefly, here is the story Of "The
Man Inside:
Richard Gordon, assistant district
attorney, is possessed with desire
to get at the bottom of criminal mo-
tives. He wants to find out why
when men have served time in prison
they 20 back to their haunts upon
release; why they laugh at efforts te

why they would rather stink along II
