Finding Pitchers.

"Why hasn't Connie Mack been
able to discover any frst-class pitch
ers these last few years." is query
that comes in from F. L. ].
The discovery OF any young star
is as much luck as anything else.
And Connie has drawn his share of
lucky discoveries in other depart
ments of play. He discovered in turn
Plank, Bender, and Coombs---which
is a fair enough average. But the
luck that broke with him in finding
a new infeld when Davis, Murphy,
and the two Crosses faded out has
broken against him in landing high
grade young pitchers.

One Big Help.

There are several ways in which
looking at the hole helps the ordi.
narily bad putter within ten feet OF
the cup. One of these is that by look
ing at the hole the head is held per
fectly still, with no temptation to
look up. since one is already looking
up. The trouble isn't so much in not
looking at the ball as II Is in shifting
the head.
The second aid comes to the golfer
who is nervously inclined or is in the
habit of stabbing his puts. This habit
passes when one looks at the hole
The eye doesn't see the ball, so the
club head comes on with steady
sweep and a nice follow through. The
same principle is involved when one
takes practice swing with no ball
to hit at. This swing is generally per-
feet, because there is no rigid tight
enlng up, no nervous jerk, and no ten
dency to look up. due to the absence OF
the ball.

PRESS OPINIONS
HIS WEES STOCKINGS
Hort Smith American)

.Fort Smith Americam
 One Of the interesting phases of the mayoralty election in Milwaukee was the use of a woman's stocking as a campaign issue. The terrible charge was made that Mrs. Bading, wife Of the mayor, and he a candidate for re election, was guilty of wear ingy silk stockings.
 Owing to the great excitement caused by the injection, of this seri- ous ilaputation against Mayor Bad ing, reports which have reached this city are as yet necessarily fragmen- tary ana conflicting. We should like to know if the Badings attempted to deny tue accusation, or whether they decided to brazen it out.
 As to the effect of this venomous roorback we are enabled to judge only by the result-Mayor Bading was re- elected. We are therefore justified in concluding that the citizenship of Milwaukee, stirred to every segment, from center to circumference, in- stituted instant and thorough investi- gation and proved to it's entire satis- faction, either that the charge was without foundation, or that if it were true nobody cared tinker's cussword whether she wore 'em or not.
 If in Chicago, where women vote, this kird ofa story might have an ef- feet opposite to that intended. But it couldn't have happened there. Such a blunder could only be perpetuated by all sufficient, omniscent man. To accuse a woman of wearing silk stockings is to indict the whole feminiue contingent.
 There is no home so lowly but that the women folks at some time or another have experimented with silk stockings They all love the dainty things and the only kind of a charge that woud influence them would De to assert that a candidate s wife was so unfeminine that she pre- ferred cotton hosiery.

USE LEVEL METHOD WHEN PLANTING.
 By JOHN H. PAGE,
 Commissioner of Agriculture.

As the spring opens and the plant ing season comes upon us we are reminded that after all and ,notwith- standing the fact that Arkansas has special advantages for the growing of various profitable crops and grasses and incidentally in raising stock, the fact remains that Arkansas crops Will again this year as heretofore, consist l mainly of cotton and corn. Conse- quently we should give attention to the things that will produce the best results in the growing of the main crops. uch has been said and written about seed selection and land preparation, drainage, deep fall blow ing, etc. Now comes the matter of planting and cultivation.
 It ;s far better in blaming both cotton and corn to adopt the flat method to be followed by level and shallow cultivation. Some land is so level 3nd so poorly drained as to render this method more or less inn practical. In suoh cases it will be necessary to bed the land. but the old time high ridges should be abandoned and where the land will permit, beds wide enough for two or three rows made, with water furrows between. A good plan would be to throw up small beds between larger ones, so that the corn or cotton would be plante: in them and below the level of the larger ridges or beds Then as the season advances the larger ones between the rows can be worked down with harrows and small tools, and eventually result on leveling the whole later ia the season after the standing water has disappeared.
 If ti,c crop can be planted level the harrow or weeder can be run cross s-wise of the rows when the corn cotton gets up, and the weeds and grass be cleaned out. Some of the corn or cotton will thus be torn up by the roots, but there will be ample for a good stand. By cultivating young cotton this way the first and second time it will require much less
 work to do with the hoe, and when
 it comes to choppirg the cotton the task will be much lighter one. Then follow with shallow cultivation with side harrows, and you will find that
 one man can cultivate about half as much tTOTe anu uO luc WOIh QuiC0 as Well.
 A farmer from Oklahoma west of Mena wrote sometime ago that he followed these and other suggestions contained in the weekly letters last year, ind that he made a better crop | than any of his -neighbors who re- fused to do so and followed the old methods.
 In using fertilizer or manure be
 sure to thoroughly mix it in the
 ground The roots will find it and
 get it if you do so.
 l By all means do not over crop
 yourself. Do not plant more than l you have labor or teams to cultivate
 we'll. Make allowances for sickness
 in the family or loss of team labor l through sickness or otherwise Also
 allow in advance for rainy days. Cal
 culate and pitch your crop so you can
 cultivate it and make big yield. It
 is too had for farmer to make a
 poor crcp because he has undertaken
 more than he can do well.
 Don't forget the hay crop and the | pasture

BURTON'S POLICY
St. Louis Globe-Dhmocrat

The withdrawal of Senator Burton of Ohio from public life, if it should become an accomplished fact, will remove that tower of strength on which the entire Ohio river valley has long leaned in getting wha+. it want ed for the improvement of that stream. The Ohio senator has not only stood at constant guard to save Ohio river and lake appropriations in the rivers and harbors bill, but he has stecd at constant point against any other scheme of waterway i'm provement threatening to reduce their allotments. His policy, for his state, las been justified in its work The Ohio river has been made a greater navigable stream than the Mississippi.

One thousand Illinois saloons were put ON of business, says the Tribune, by the vote of women. That proves all that the temperance people said about t. and it demonstrates clearly to the liquor people that suffrage is dangerous. %
 Of the men registered 5 per cent voted; of the women, 43 per cent. This will be seized up by the "antls" as allowing that the women will not come to the polls. The suffraglsts will '.rlumphantly point to the fig ures and will say that such a show ing for the first electon proves con clusiveIy that women Go wan. the ballot.
 All accounts say that the women seemed to have made t Up to come to the polling places modestly garbed. Anothe. argument for immediate use by both sides. Suffragists say that it shows that women will not make voting a matter of vulgar dis play or use feminine charms to in fluence male voters. The "anti" position will undoubtedly be greatly streng .hened by the chance to assert that the ballot makes women mannish and tends to destroy sweet feminine grace.
 Thera will be other great facts about this election which are easily capable of use in both directions with equal force. The only interest the country had in the election was as an event from which to draw deduc tions ith this in mind no doubt all will agree that it was a smashing success.

CHILD LABOR LAW BY
 INITIATIVE.

The first child labor law ever l1l- tiated in this county will be subml-- ted to the people of Arkansas at the general election in September if petl- tians now beng circulated contain 14,000 signatures by May 1. That the required number of signatures Will be secured is regarded as a certain ty. The Associated charities of Pine Bluff is one of the several orgaaiza- tions aiding in the work. The eX- perienoe of the charities demonstrates the need for such law.
 This campaign for sigl atures will be one of the most valuable child labor campaigns ever conducted be-. cause of the actual knowledge which thous ands of the people will have on the child labor problem A bill will not simply be passeds bv body Of legislators in hurry to get through, while the state at large know next to nothing about it. Every one of the l4,00O citizens who sign the petition will kn) W what they are doing and why they are doing it. They Will know that the presen. child labor law places Arkansas in the class with Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas, instead of with the more progressive states where she really belongs. They A,.1y ic ot ent in the Georgia-Carolina class because her 14-year age-limit applies only to factories and mines. The aee- limit ir practically all other min- ing states is 16 years at least, and Arkansas IA year limit for factories means nothing because any child IS exempted from it on the simple state |. .ment that it's wages are necessary to the family support" Not many states have left this dodge in their child labor laws-Virginia abolished hers this year.
 The citizens who sigl this petition will also know exactly what provis- ions arc to be substituted for these inadequate ones. They will know that tie proposed law is based on the uniform child labor law which was drafted four years ago by the United States commissioner on uniform legislation and endorsed by the Amer ican Bar association, and that states near Arkansas, such IS Tennessee, Oklhoma, Missouri and Kansas have already adopted most ot lne provls- ions contained in it. They will know that tie proposed law will simply 5 bring Arkansas up to the standard ! Spf child labor legislation which is Aeing widely accepted by the majority states. They will know that the biA provides a 16-year limit for dan gerNps occupations, and an eight hour day Tor all children under 16, in ac- cordaAce with the uniform law. And they WI also know that the bill con. tains | means of enforcement in ths employmAnt certificate which will be ualant(e that the child is O proper age and has completed { certain amount of school work.
