WANTS TO JOIN USE

WANTS TO JOIN US.-From FL
Paso comes the report that the rich
southern state of Yucatan has resolVG
ed to secede from the Mexican re-
public and secure permission from
the United States to become a pro-
tectorate of this government.
It is believed also that the Mexican
territory of Quintana Roo, to the
south of Yucatan, will join IN the
movement This would form a solid
block on the south of Mexico, under
American control or protection, adj
joining Central America. Yucatan
has sought for half a century to Sc
cede from the central government of
Mexico and being, as it is, geoTaph-
ically isolated and cut OFF from rad
road connection with other parts of
the republic, the move would be a
good one for itself and of much adj.
vantage to the United States.

PROMOTERS

Since the railroad bubble busted"
In way they often do,
The folks who never trusted
And they are not a few
Are reminded of the saying,
Which is true, although not funny;
They'll bear watching" to save
paying,
For they're only after money
Of mineral we may have jot
But it is mostly hid.
And brokers like to see a lot
Before they start to bid.
Promoters, too, it seems to be
Like mineral" not in land.
They want it to be gold, you see,
And like it in their hand.
Now mineral beneath the ground
Will stay there without doubt,
Until the mineral is found
With which to take it out.
The thing we need to do these days
Until we strike the lode,"
Is, try to raise a crop that pays,
And boost the old dirt road.

IS Animals Perish In Flames

Incendiaries set fire to the large
barn of T. W. Taylor, large planter
and merchant living at Lunsford, ii
miles east of JonesbOro, one night
last week. The barn was destroyed
and 16 horses and mules perished
in it. A large quantity of feed
harness and machinery also was de-
stroyed. The total loss will be
about $4,000.
1t is said tracks were found lead
ing to and from the barn, and that
there is no doubt that the fire was
of incendiary origin.

Profit In Mistakes

Because one has made mistake
in the business world is no cause
for discouragement, for if one is
keen enough to see and correct, il
may lead to future success.
Setting the goal high and permit

to change the course will do away
with many of the Disappointment;
found in the path of most people a,

Saloon Men Say Never Again"

Here is an interesting dispatch
from Little Rock: Several liquor
houses in Arkansas that have exist
ed for many years, will close their
doors on December 81 and the pro-
prietors will never again, according
to their statements, engage in the
liquor traffic. Many of the whole
sale liquor houses have already
made their plans for opening in St.
Louis and other places on January
1. Most of the retail liquor men
will engage in other business, for
fully IS per cent are residents of the
cities in which they are now Oper-
ating, own property there and can
not move away. Most of the Little
Rock saloon men have begun ar
ranging for after the first of the
year, and they, as well as many of
the bartenders, figure on remaining
in this city. Farming seems to be
the principal attraction for the re-
tiring salOonists."

CLEANING DOLLARS
FROM PEANUT CROP
VARIETY TYPES OF PAlATABLE
FORAGE PLANT ADAPTED TO
SOILS OF ARkANSAS-HoW TO
PLANT.

The peanut grows best on well
drained, loose, sandy loan soils OF
medium fertility, which should be
prepared thoroughly, this will make
less work in caring for the growing
crop.
When barnyard manure is used as
a fertilizer it should be applied to
the preceding crop that the peanuts
may get the resultant effect. Com
rnercial fertilizer may be applied in
the bed of the row just previous to
the planting of the crop. Apply 200
10 500 pounds of commercial fertilizer
containing two per cent of nitrogen,
S per cent of phosphoric acid and 4
to per cent of potash. The per cent
of nitrogen should be increased If a
previous green. manure crop has not
been turned under. Soils low in lime
should receive an application of 500
to 800 pounds of lime to encourage
proper ripening of the fruit.
Variety Types.
There are two general variety types
of peanuts; those with large pods, the
Virginia Runner and the Virginia
Bunch type and those with small pods,
Spanish and Tennessee Red type. The
Virginia type is used chiefly for roast
ing purposes; the other are recon-.
mended for oil content and as forage.
The Spanish is the commercial va
riety for Arkansas.
Only the very best of the crop
should be saved for seed and planted
in special patch. An ideal plant
should produce large number of
pods we'll filled with seed, uniform in
size, shape and color. The large pod
varieties of peanuts are always shelled
before planting, care being used not
to break the seed covering. Spanish
peanuts may be planted with or with
out the pod. To hasten termination,
soak the pods few hours just pre-.
vious to planting Plant in rows 2 to
21s feet apart, with the plants 6 to IL
inches apart in row, depending upon
the variety.
Marking on Field.
In planting mark the field off in
rows as In corn planting, and use a
one-horse planter similar to the one.
horse cotton planter For hand plant.
ing open up the rows with small
shovel marker and drop In seed at
proper distance Cover to a depth
Of liz to 2 inches. Begin cultivation
with harrow as soon as the crop is
planted, After the crop is well up,
start cultivating between the rows
with small shoveled cultivator and
keep the soil in loose condition for
pod setting. II is desirable TO force
loose dirt with cultivator up to the
plant, but do not cover the, vines.

Less Fertilizer Sold

The sale of fertilizer in the state
during the present year is approx
mately only 35 per cent of the
amount at corresponding date last
year, according to the records in the
office of John H. Page, commissioner
of mines, manufactures and aeri-
culture. The falling off is thought
to be partly the result of less cotton
being planted and partly due to the
business conditions.

STATEWIDE LAWS
MAY Be SUBMITTED
Repeal Of Prohibition Law
And Pure Primary Law
May Go Before People.

Repeal of the statewide prOhlbi-
ton law, effective January /, and
enactment of the primary election
bill drawn by the committee ap-
pointed at the Democratic State
Convention at Pine Bluff last spring
are apt to be two dominant measur-
es on the ballots at the general elec-
ton in November, 1916. Plans for
submission of these two measures
through the initiative and referen-
dun are under way. The Statewide
prohibition law was passed by the
1915 legislature, and the primary
election bill, after being passed by
the Senate, was killed in the House
Should these two measures be
submitted no doubt they will be the
center of political interest; other
measures will be apparently insigni-
ficant in comparison. The prohibi-
ton element will be prepared to
battle against repeal of the new
Statewide prohibition law, and it
will cause the true strength of ad-
vocates and opponents of Statewide
prohibition to be brought out Can
didates, no doubt, will be compelled
to declare themselves unequivOCally.
Proponents of clean primary cleo
tions are advocating submission of
the proposed primary law. The bill
introduced in the legislature was
drawn by Stephen Brundidge of
Searcy, former candidate for COVER
nor Col. John Ike Moore, Helena;
John M. Moore, Little Rock; and
j. M. Stayton, Newport. Gov. Geo.
W. Hays was a member of the com
mittee selected by the State conven-
ton to draft the bill, but he declin-
ed to sign the measure introduced
in the Senate.
HOW PRIMARY BILL DIED.
When the bill was introduced
in the Senate there was but little
doubt that it would be passed. 1t
did pass the Senate, but the House
majority leaders, in alliance with
interests of the governor and united
on other measures, voted down the
bill Men who h a d fought for
clean primaries voiced protest at
the Houses action, and members Of
the committee now declare they
will take the bill before the people.
II is conceded by well informed
politicians that the primary measure,
if submitted to the people, will be
adopted by an immense majority.
Men who drew the bill are well
known throughout the State, and
their endorsement alone would draw
many votes, And, besides that,
Arkansas voters are tired of hear.
ine cries of fraud in primaries.

measures to the people at the next

The Little schooI.rouse Must Go.

The one room school house ofthe State
IS practically doomed. The little red or
white buildings at the cross roadsin which
so many OF the older citizens received
their first public instructions are to go
the way OF other antiquated things. In
their places are 10 spring no consollda-
ton or community schools. which will
draw pupils from large areas and which
will not only afford better educational
advantages, but will result in net saving
to the State.
In RichIand district, Ohio county, is
being built sx-room school-house, and
it will require three wagons TO transport
the pupils to and from school. AT Eel
louisville, Preston county, a four-room
BUILDING is being construc. ed, and three
wagons will be required to take the pupils
10 and from the school. AT GerardS-
town is being built four-rocm building
and there The children also will be taken
to and from school.
1t is indicated by reports being received
by the superintendent OF rural schools, L.
|. Hanifan, that between 200 and 300 one
room school buildings in the State will
be abandoned to comply with the law
passed by the recent Legislature that no
school which has less than 10 pupils shall
be maintained.
II is estimated that il costs $500 to run
country school during one term. This
means a saving OF about 100000 year.
In the past one could find many country
schools which had but three to eight
pupils and required d teacher In the
future community schools will be built to
care for these pupils or else they will go
to the closest school TO their homes, and
which are often within walking distance.
