ABOUT THAT IDLE CANNING FAC
 TORY

fORIs
 Tn the eastern part Of Little Rock there is a modernly equipped canning plant in which the farmers of Pulaski County and owners of Factoria Addi- tion have invested about sS,000 capital. The factory was operated at a loss last year, due to lack of material and an unusually dull market. Unless some one with sufficient capital to operate the plant can be found it is probable that it will remain idle again this year. Strenuous efforts are being made by s. L. White. A. c. Read ana others, who are interested, to find some experienced canning man who is able to finance the operation of the plant this season.
 One of the men who has looked into the matter is J. Green Nordin, the sweet potato expert, who lives on the Cherry Acres, east of the city, and who has successfully operated a can ming plant at his former home in Rus sellville. MT. Nordin says that the equipment of Factoria plant is com plete and that he believes he could operate it successfully, but he does not wish to undertake the responsibil- fty of financing so big an undertaking If some one else would furnish the money he might take charge of the operation, it is thought.
 The man who organized the com pany left soon after completing the work of construction Mr White says, as this was all that he was supposed to do
 Being situated in the center of a rich truck-growing district and conven- lent to the fine farming lands along the Sweet Home and Arch street bikes, 1t is believed that the cannery could be made to pay good profit if in the hands Of an experienced man.
 Numerous farmers who hold stock in the concern are anxious to know what will be done this year, so that they can plan their crops accordingly. If the canning factory is to be operated there will be a considerable increase in the sweet potato acreage, as this IS one Of the easiest crops grown, and one which is easily and profitably canned. Planting time is now here and if special crops are to he planted 1t is time that the factory people get busy
 To show how great is the need for a local canning factory a Little Rock wholesale dealer made the statement that nine car loads of canned sweet potatoes were shipped into Little Rock last week from Maryland.
 The canning factory situation in q nutshell is this: The plant is tied up for want of capital All of the equip. ment is there, ready for the plant to be started. What is needed is an exper- fenced man with little money be- hind him. This man the Factoria peo- pie are looking for as hard as they can.
 MT. White says that the plant can be leased by anyone who has the capi- tai to operate and who can show that he means business. What everybody wants Is to get the plant started.

assistant named Burkett because he
criticised President Wilson for marry

wife The man merely said II looks
like he would have waited year.
Then the postmaster said their were

Then 1t develops that a brother OF
the over-loyal p. m. was appointed to
Burkitt's place. There is probably the
real cause. Burkett appealed to the
Department and was ruled against.
Then the matter came to the ears Of
President Wilson and he has ordered

onAFTEns ON GOVERNMENT.

Comptroller Terrell has found a
real leak In the public treasury and
his discovery proves that grating on
the government 10 almost as COM
mon among men who are appointed
to look after public affairs through
out the State. Read his open letter
to Department heads and see.
when a department sends out a
sub to look into gins, FIRE risks, farm
operations, school matters, stock dis
eases or any other OF the many lines
OF public interest and then approves
an expense account covering laundry
bills. hotel tips and other personal
items he should be held to account
for his indlscretion.
The trouble lies In the fact that the
chief and his sub may be special
friends and the bills are endorsed
| through friendship. Then there Is a
sort OF ethical notion among Depart
ment heads. that one department
must accept a statement from anoher
department without question.
This rule OF ehics is dangerous and
II Comptroller Terrell can break It
up and stop the waste caused by
such grating. the people OF Texas
will owe him a debt OF gratitude.
Any department head who know
ingly permits his subordlnates to
fitch from the government can hard
ly escape popular suspicion that he
too, is a CRATER.

GOVERNOR FERGUSON AND CITl-
ZEN FERGUSON.

He'll county has just closed red
hot local option campaign. Bell has
been wet" county but the pros
won out In the election last Saturday
by majority Of more than $50
votes. Perhaps the most notable fea-
ture OF the campaign was the active
part taken by Governor Ferguson.
Governor Ferguson is citizen OF
BELL county and as such he had n
right to interest himself in the fight.
The reasons, given by him were that
he considered II fight against him
as Governor OF Texas. Pro leaders
deny this Anyhow, there are apt to
be some who will takethe result a.
rebuke to the governor. There Is
scarcely more reason to take that
view Of II than to say the defeat Of
woman suffrage In New Jersey was
rebuke to President Wilson. II has
more showing OF the fact that the
people Of bell county had grown tired
of the saloons and even the efforts OF
so distinguished citizen as Cover
nor Ferguson could not defeat them.
