are being put out of business.
OUR POSTAL ARMY

and in the main it is a hard
working, intelligent and rather
poorly paid army.
The postmaster general gets
SIP, OC0 a year. The president
of an express company would
sniff at that salary.
The men who manage the par.
eel post receive 5000 to $1,000
a year. They are all worth three
or four times those sums.
Men must be great executives
in order to properly conduct the
postoffice in our large cities.
They receive from $4,000 to $8,-
900 q year-fair salaries but
thsir assistants, all experts in
their respective lines, get from
$4,000 to SO, 800. These salaries
seem small when compared with
the salalias received from private
employers by men of equal ca
pacity and who assume equal re-
sponsibilities.
There is a general impression
that the pcstmasters in the small
er offices have 'soft SNAPS. As
a rule that is not true, and inves-
tigation in any typical town will
show that the postoflice is as
,economically and efficiently man.
aged as are the express, tele-
phone, railroad and other public
utility offices in the same town
SOME BIG PAYROLLS
Some conception Of the size OF
the postofice department may be
secured from an examination of
the various items which make UP
the annual appropriation bill,>
Uncle Sam pays his post mas
ters $3O,S50,O00 a year. The
clerks and other employees in the
offices draw down S45. $50, 900 and
the carriers who deliver the mail
the cities and towns receive
about $4,000.
The messengers who see that
you get your special delivery let
ters have salary allowance of
So, 225, 900, and the letter carriers
are given a horse hire appropri-
alton of S, 100000.
Rent, light and fuel cost SIS. 400
900 and S31O, 1000 is expended in
printing postage stamps, 1886, 600
for postal cards and 81, $50, 600
for stamped envelopes.
These are big figures for a big
business and while they are
growing bigger every year. no
oae complains. l expect to live
to see the annual appropriations
for the postoffice department ex-
ce>d ere billion dollars.
Then we will have what Con-
gressman "Davy" Lewis has SO
graphically described as a five
fingered" postoffice- depart
ment which will carry the mails,
look after the parcel post, con-
duct a vast system Of savin gs
banks and manage the telegraph
and telephone lines Of the nation
all under one roof. Europe is
doing lst thai, al | We can do.
what Europe has done.
Before we tackle the job, how
ever, we .must eliminate every
of politics from the
postoffice. All postmasters should
be under the merit system. and
it should be possible for young
men to find a satisfying career
in the postal service. Much has
been accomplished along these
lines but much remains to be
done.

KkFIR CORN PROFITABLE
Says H. M. CotreIl, Agricultural Con- missioner of the Rock Island Lines.

Arkansas farmers who have upland or land that has been cropped too long in either cotton or rice should plant a good acreage of Katir to be raised for feed grain instead of corn Kair has been grown for a number of years in several parts of Arkansas and in every trial, where properly handled, has given larger yields of grain than corn on upland and or worn out land About seventy-fiye miles south of Lit tie Rock, Kafr has been raised on worn out cotton land for the past four years, and has yielded double the grain produced by corn on the same farm Fifty miles north of Little Rock, Kafir has produced double the yield of corn on upland. In many parts of eastern Arkansas Katir has proven to be a good yielder.
 kafir takes the place of corn in feed ing all kinds of farm animals-horses, mules, dairy, beef and stock cattle; hogs, sheep and poultry. Breaking raw prairie is as hard work as farm teams ever do, and mules have done this kir. c of work three months at a time, fed Kafir grain and have kept in good con- dition all the time
 Kafir is planted and cultivated with the same implements as corn, so that no new implements are necessary. Plant in rows three and a half feet ,i~ four inches apart in the row Most corn drills are furnished with plates that will drop Kafir seed. If the planter drops the seed too thickly, thin 1 out the plants to one every six to eight inches after the first cultivation i Cultivate the long flat Give thorough cultivation the same as for a laroe yield of cotton. Kafr costs less for seed to plant an acre than any other farm crop. Good Kafir seed costs in Little Rock three cents a pound and three pounds of seed are ample 10 plant an acre
 When Kaffir Is ripe, pull off or cut off the heads and store them in a erin the same as corn in the ear. Feed the heads of Katir heads the same as ear corn. This saves expense for either smelling or grinding. Kafir is con stipating feed and little COW pea hay or Spanish peanut overcome this difficulty.
 Kafir is grain sorghum as are Milo and Feterita- Kafir is the grain tc plant in Arkansas. If planted early plant standard Kafir. If you plant late, plant dwarf Katir.
 Milo has a much softer grain thar I<afir. If good rain comes after Mile is ripe and the rain is followed b, warm weather the Milo seeds vii
 sprout on the stalk where they have
 grown.

RUSSIA CONTINUES
 ID MAKE PROGRESS
NOW HOLD PRINCIPAL CHAIN OF THE CARPATHIANS-A
 DESCENDING SLOPES.
WEATHER CONDITIONS BAD
Austro-Germa Continue to Bring Up Re-enforcements, But Russians
 Are Confident.

Londop.-The Russians in the east, like the French in the west apparent ly are making progress in the capture of important points before undertak- ing general forward movement. They now hold the whole principal chain of the Carpathians and at some points are descending the southern slopes and are approaching, if they are not already in, the Uzsok Valley, south of the pass of that name.
 Fighting is going on under difficult weather conditions. The ground is cov- cred with snow, which is commencing to soften. The Austro-Germans coli- tlnue to bring up re-enforcements, but the Russians appear to have confidence in their ability to handle the task, for simultaneously they are showing con- siderable activity both on the Eastern Russian frontier, where they claim sue cess over the Germans, and south of the Vistula, where the Germans say they have repulsed a Russian at tack.
 The allied fleet has, according to un- official reports, been bombarding the Dardanelles forts from the Gulf of Saros. This doubtless is being done to prevent the Turks from repairing the forts, for it is not believed here that the big attacks will be rusumed until the land forces arrive

GERMAN CRUISER
 AT NEWPORT NEWS
kRON PRlNZ WILHELM, THE GER MAN RAIDER, ENTERS UNITED
 STATES PORT.
WAS CHASED BY BRITISH
Harbor Lined With British Merchant Ships as Captives of German
 Raider Were Released.

Newport News.-That the German merchant raider Kron Prinz Wilhelm, which came into this port through the Virginia capes, was chased by British warships and marvelously escaped de- struction, was the assertion of British officers of merchant vessels destroyed by the Wilhelm in the south seas,
 The sixty-one British officers and men of the steamers Tamar and Cole by were taken from the Wilhelm aboard a tug and rushed down the river to the British horse ship Gas andra, which will sail for Glasgow The harbor was lined with British merchant ships as the captives of the German raider were released, and as their tug steamed by more than 1000 British sailors lined the decks of the ships and cheered.
 When the liberated Britishers reach ed the Casandra's deck, they hurriedly tossed the remnants of their luggage aboard and danced around like school boys in anticipation of the trip to their native land, joyous that they had miraculously escaped destruction by the guns of their own country's war ships.

Paris.--Italy and Serbia are abov, to conclude an agreement, telegraph the correspondent of Excelsior al Rome on the following basis:
 "Italy will not oppose Serbia's oc cupation of territory giving her an out let on the Adriatic on condition that this territory be not fortified. As to the question of Trieste and Istria thh has not even been discusse" the allies having recognized the Italian charae ter of these localities The present visit of T. Tittoni, the Italian ambas sador in Paris, to Rome, is in connee t1on with these negotiations.
 If this Italo-Serbian agreement h signed, as expected" the correspond ent of Excelsior says, ''the entry d Italy into the European conflict may be considered imminent"
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-04-16

Senator Samuel Crockett Sims oi Hagen, representing the Twelfth Sera torial District in the Fortieth Genera. Assembly, believes that the state gov ernment should be run along strictly business principles the same as any of our large corporations, and that when that time arrives the property owners will pay less taxes, and the state gov ernment will be administered With greater efficiency. Senator Sims was the author of a number of general bills, one of special interest being a bill providing for the auditing of all county and state departments and in- stitutions by an expert accountant of the State Banking Department; his bill passed the Senate, but failed in the House. Senator Sims is native of Arkansas, was nominated and elect ed to the Senate last year without op- position, and has higher political as- pirations and a very bright future; he was educated at Missouri State Uni verSity.

Arkansas prohibitionists will wage

Arkansas prohibitionists will wage vigorous fight against the measure the liquor interests propose to hi
 tiate next year to repeal the statewi9e prohibition bill passed by the 1915 Leg
 islature, according to Senator Thomaa c. White of Pine Bluff, leader of the prohibition fight in the Senate. Sen- ator White has completed his work on the Senate Journal Committee and will
 within a few days enter the work or the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League in helping to organize the state ln the interest of prohibition.
 we have no fear that the law will be repealed, but we want to be sur apout it. The Executive Committee will put men in the field within the next few days to organize new leagues and mobilize the prohibition forces for the fight"
 Senator White will be one of the
 workers put in the field by the Execu- tive Committee of the league He was the author of the first statewide bill
 introduced in the last Legislature and the bill which finally passed both houses by overwhelming majorittes was an exact copy of his bill with amendments, and was enc of the legis- lators who believed from the first that such a bill could be passed.

 Mrs. John l. Moore of Helena, presi- dent of the Arkansas Federation of Woman's Clubs, delivered very lD- teresting talk on rural work being fos- tered by the Arkansas Federation of Woman's Clubs. Mrs Moore has de voted great deal of her time to the upbuilding of the woman's clubs of Arkansas since she was elected presi- dent last year, and has injected more life and activity in the various local organizations than has been witnessed in Arkansas in several years.
 Miss Earl Chambers of Little Rock, chief probation officer of Pulaski Coun- ty, also delivered an interesting ad- dress on Juvenile Court Work in Ar kdHSttS. HG udy pl OSl oil CiOSCd with 10-minute summary of the meet ing by G. w. Reid, superintendent of the Texarkana schools.
