GREATER EFFICIENCY.

It has become popular prac- Tice to deplore the deterioration Sf our natural resources and to prophecy want and misery when certain resources or the people fail. The soil is describ- ed as being poor and getting poorer every day and it is a common climax of speakers to warm the people that they will soon face poverty as a result of exhausted soil.
 The soil is the foundation of life and prosperity, but it is very largely under the control of mans intellect. The fertil- Ity of our soil depends in a very large degree upon the manage rnent given it by the intelligent farmer. Soil may become de- pieted in one or more of it's food constituents, but the intelligent farmer will reclaim the soil, build it up and make it produce larger crops than when nature had enriched it at the begin ming.
 The greatest concern of this nation is the intellect of it's citizens, especially those who till the soil, produce the food, clothing and shelter and thus make it possible to meet the needs of our rapidly increasing population. Our soils will be fertile, our crops bountiful and Sur prosperity secure so long zs men are trained. for efficien- ~. The men who support this nation and depend upon it for

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-The Arkansas Railroad Commission yesterday form ally denied the petition from Fort Smith, asking that all railroads en- tering that city be required to use the Kansas City Southern passenger sta tion as a Union station.
