Little Rock, Sept. Ex-Governor
; HAYS Saturday afternoon announced
that he had appointed Wallace c..
Davis, son of the late Senator Jeff
Davis, and a close political friend
of the governor, as attorney gen.
eral to succeed Judge William L..
Moose. Mr.. Davis Immediately
went to the residence of Associate
Justice Frank G. Smith and took
the oath of office.
Mr.. Davis probably is the young
est attorney general in the United
States and younger by several
wears than any who have held the
office in Arkansas. He was born
at Russellville in 1888, and after
attending the common schools, en-
tered the University of Arkansas in
1905. The next year he attended
Vanderbilt University The next
two years he attended Lebanon law
school, Lebanon, Tenn. He was
admitted to the bar before Cover
nor Hays, then judge of the thIr-
teenth judicial circuit, at Camden,
in 1909, at the age of 81. The
same year he became associated
with his father and Frank Pace in
the practice of law at Little Rock.
He still is a member of the firm,
which now is Davis, Pace & Sea-
we'll.
MAY CHANGE LINEUP.
The appointment of Mr.. Davis is
believed to have much political sig.
. nificance. 1t is now believed GER
tain that Governor Hays will be
candidate for denomination.
Mr.. Davis said Saturday night he
had no statement to make regard
ing the question of his being can
didate for attorney general at the
primary. His appointment I'M
doubtedly will change the aspect
of the race for that office.
GOVERNOR STATEMENT.
Governor Hays issued the follow
ing statement in connection with
the appointment of Mr.. Davis:
Il had several applications for
the appointment, all from capable
men, many of them my close per-
sonal and political friends. Any
one of the applicants would have
made an efficient attorney general
and l regret that l could not favor
each of them. l gave the greatest
consideration to the wishes express
ed by members of Judge Moses
family as to his desires. l have
very high regard for Mr.. Streepey,
who has been so efficient in the dis
charge of his duties as assistant,
but, after weighing the whole mat
ter, l appointed Mr.. Davis, son OF
the late Senator Jeff DavXis. He is
thoroughly capable of discharging
the duties of the office and is a
splendid young man, just entering
into the very best of his manhood.
In making this appointment l was
very glad to honor the memory OF
his father, who was always my
warm personal and political friend.
Every citizen of the state great
" regrets that it became neces-
sary to appoint anyone to succeed
Judge Moose because of his untime-
" death. He was one of Arkan-
sas' best men and one of its most
efficient officers, man in whom
l had the greatest confidence and
for whom l held the highest ad-
miration. l admired Judge Moose

friends of Governor Hays and men
signally educated in politics, see
two-fold phase. The appoint
ment in part pays a debt owed to
what is left of the old Jeff Davis
machine for it's activity in Governor
Hays first gubernatorial campaign
and, secondly, will aid in getting
the old Davis followers to again
support him.

HAYS APPOINTS WALLACE DAVIS To
SUCCEED ATTORNEY GENERAL MOOSE

because of his pure, clean life and
his high ideals. 1 have never come
in contact with an official who was
more cordial and capable and seem
ed at all times to want to do his
duties honestly and faithfully"
The attorney general, under the
laws of Arkansas, is a member of
the state election board, which
names the election commissioners
for every county in the state. The
man selected by Gov. Hays to fill
the vacancy will act with the gov
ernor in the selection of the county
election board. In the past the
ment of election commissioners
found himself in possession of a
great political asset, as many coun-
ties in Arkansas, or the leading
politicians in those counties, inva-
riably followed the suggestion of
the political boss in controlling the
political machine in order to die
tate appointments on the election
boards.
While members of the state cleo
ton board welded great influence
in the past among politicians, the
action of the last legislature in con-
solidating state and national cleo
tions somewhat discounted the pow
er originally invested in members
of the election board. State cleo
tions will hereafter be held on the
same day members of congress are
elected, which, to a very large ex-
tent, will deter election commits
sioners from discriminating at the
polls. Prosecutions in federal courts
during the past year have caused
machine politicians all over Arkan-
sas to take counsel with themselves
and adopt measures to heW to the
line in the matter of conducting
elections. In other words, it is eX
pected that fraud charges will not
be as numerous as they have in the
past, and if they are, federal grand
juries instead of state grand juries
will do the investigating, as was
done in Indiana and Texas.

as the club did not own the land
upon which its members hunted.
Mr.. Visart says there is mis-
understanding relative to the game
refuge established by the govern
ment in the Big Lake district,
known as the Big Lake reservation.
Many persons have been under the
impression that the reserve was es-
tablished only to prevent the slaugh-
ter of domestic game, and that mi
gratory birds stopping on the re-
serve would not be protected under
the reservation laws. No hunting,
trapping, killing or disturbing of
any birds of whatever species will
be allowed on the reserve. The re-
serve is about eleven miles long and
ranges in width from one-quarter
to four miles wide. 1t is one of the
favorite haunts of wild duck and
geese in their semi-annual migra-
ton.

passed the house, it is now a law
The bill to appropriate $4,000

of the house were nearly unani

A rather unusual spectacle in
the senate was the refusal of J E

from Buffalo county, to act on an
investigating committee. His
reason given was that committee

had not found anything seriously
wrong and be did not believe an.

Ordinarily democratic member
would be glad of the chance to in
vestigate the records of republican
officials, but Mr.. Ziehach seems te
be in the senate for efficient service
and not to play politics.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
BY Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to
city man Is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at a few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can ali help others for
brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch OF
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
IAoub. ne men WHO gave uS Cu0
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright inteHects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff.
cheney. how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our;
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
they are the most practical men
ne world ever produced. Their in,
'entions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions Of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
Dplause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

A special election was held in
Yankton last. Saturday to vote on
the issue of 100000 bonds to
build new school building, the
vote resulting in favor of the pro-
position. The city now has four
buildings, but none of them are
modern in construction, and they
are inadequate in size to meet
present needs.

The mania for investigation
committees seems to have nearly
had it's run in the legislature. A
committee worked for two years
and didn't find anything but few
minor irregularities, and nothing
that would warrant any legal ac-
ton to be taken except for the re-
covery Of interest on state depos-
it's taken by state treasurers in
years past, all of which was known
before the committee did it's work.

The United States and Canada
are ah5ut to celebrate the anniver-
sary OF 100 years of peace. With
border of 5000 miles, without a
battleship, fortress or an armed
soldier on guard, there has not
been a hostile shot sent across the
border in 100 Years, and this is an
illustration of what can be done in
other parts of the world with mill
tarism abolished. In conjunction
with this celebration it is proposed
to start the organization of O
"League of Nations" for the pres
ervatlon of peace. The following
resolution was passed at joint
meeting of promoters of the move
ment:

can continent, embracing peoples
of every race and tongue, affordine
true demonstra ton of the bro
therhood of man, being about to

has come for the peace loving pow.
ers Of the world to unite in q
League of Nations, founded or
such principles, and organized ir

Substitute for Horn.

A cheap and easily made substitute
for horn can be made Of wheat flour
and sodium silicate. This substitute
is very hard and strong and. by insert.
ing organic dye into the composition
while mixing. it can be colored to imi-
tate almost any kind of horn sub
stance. The compound is made by
mixing 10 parts (by volume) of So
dunn silicate Gao degrees Baume) with
distilled water, and then stirring the
resultant liquid into a thick paste
with fine white wheat -four. The mass
is then allowed to stand for three
weeks. during which time 1t undergoes
chemical reaction that produces a
hard, hornlike substance. This COM
position can be nodded without pres
sure when first made and turned and
machined like brass after 1t has set.

Only Two Legs Left.

Carmargo. in Dewey county. Okla.
has dogs-big dogs, little dogs and in
fact all kinds of dogs, but 1t has one
that is somewhat of an oddity. This
is dog that travels on two legs.
Several months ago dog belonging
to Mr.. Storey. section foreman of Sup
ply. Okla, was run over by train and
two of his legs cut off. For some time
he was unable to move around, but
now has recovered so that he can nav
igate quite handily. The two legs on
which he is forced to walk are both
on one side. He not only walks. but
can also run, and seems to be about
as we'll able to get around as a dog
with four good legs.

MUSSEL MUD AS Fertilizer
Organic Remains Of SheIlfish Secure
Fertility to Poorest and Most
Exhausted Soil.

Consul Frank Deedmeyer writes
from Charlottetown. P. e. l., Canada:
In most OF the bays indenting the
shores Of Prince Edward island are
found extensive deposits of mussel
shells, so called locally, being organic
remains of countless generations OF
oysters, mussels, clans, and other BIZ
valves of the ocean, and Of crusta-
ceous animals generally. The shells.
usually more or less intact, are found
imbedded in dense deposits of mud
like substance and this combination is
a fertilizer of high value and potency.
1t supplies small quantities Of phos-
pilates and alkalies. An ordinary
dressing of 1t secures fertility in a
striking manner to the poorest or most
exhausted soil. The shells decay SLOW
ly, year by year, throwing off a film
of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits
around Prince Edward island vary
from five to twenty-five feet in depth
They are taken up by dredging ma.
chimes worked from RATS in summer
or from the ice in winter.

Visible Hoops,

The idea of overdress is favorable
to voiles which show the undercolor
very prettily. and one of the new ideas
which was recently exploited at lead
ing exhibit was materially helped by
the use of voile for the outer dress.
This idea was the introduction OF
visible hoop skirts. The hoops were
covered with ribbon and run between
