Bills for everything from new pri- mary election law to a measure for pensioning mothers already nave been proposed, and in some cases drafted, in anticipation of the opening of the legislative session.
 Among the most important meas ures that will come up early is that relative to the state finances. A nun Der of bills probably will be introduc ed in the biennial attempt tc solve the revenue problem" Unless some plan is hit upon for a committee bill, the discussion over this sul ject Is liable to handicap other legislation. owing to the 60-day limit
 It has been suggested that joint committee from the house and Senate be named to draft a revenue bill to save time and to get all the facts reIa- tive to the states financial difficulties properly assembled. There is much speculation as to whether the recom- mendations of Secretary O. State Hodges, that the State Debt Hoard be empowered to borrow money to care for the deficit, will be adopted.

 The Monticello boys are as proud of their silo as ordinary college boys are of their baseball grandstand. Since the silo of Monticello has been put up, forty silos have been built in surround ing communities. A good many of these silos the boys have helped to i'll. They have a portable gasoline engine and a silage cutter so they can fill silos quickly and well.
 Of course the boys and girls at Monticello go in for athletics along with their other activities, but they can put out better stock judging teams than they can baseball nines-which the farmers of the district seem to think is rather to their credit The stock judging teams have won med als and prizes at good many fairs, and so have the corn judging and cot ton chasing teams.
 In Monticello there are over 300 far mer boys and girls and the expense of each averages only about S10 month. The school has special fund for helping young men and young wo- men who can not afford to pay the minimum sum that Is charged for board For extra labor these worthy boys and girls are paid out of this fund If the fund were bigger, there would be still more young men and young women working their way through to success in life on the Ar kansas farms.

(5y H. S. MobIey, President Arkansas
 State Farmers Union.)

When the organization work began for the great Profitable Farming Cam paign in Arkansas, among the volun- teers who eagerly answered the call to the work was the force from the Fourth District Agricultural School at Monticello. Four men, including Frank Horsfall the principal, said that they were ready for anything and everything that would be for the good of Arkansas and her people. These men had not only been preaching di- versified farming ana livestock raising, but they had been praeticing it ever since their school was established. Be hind the readiness and eagerness of these men to take part in the cam paign, lies the story of the organiza. tion and the work of the Monticello School. It is an institution full of "pepp" and the boys put as much spirit into the filling of silo or the judging

of livestock as most boys put into a ball game. The boys and girls at Moh- ticello don't blow any horns or beat any drums, dress up in uniform, spend a good deal of money on clothes or indulge in much oratory, they are busy with real work.
 Their "campus" is a 50o-acre tract of undulating land in the central part of Drew county, three miles south of Monticello. The common idea of a college campus is smooth walks under big trees at the front with many young men and young women parad- ing thereon, and at the back the base ball ground and football field. The "ampus at Monticello is used for the growing of corn and lespedeza and for hogs and for cows. The farmer di rectors Of the school believe that this is the sort of campus that helps to produce real men and women who will go back to the farms and to farm homes and make Arkansas a better and richer state.

There are going to be a good many farm homes made more comfortable and more attractive by the work of these girls who are now at Monticello.

 HALF A MILLION
ESTIMATE MADE BY STATE AUDI TOR coFFmAN AT OPENING
 OF THE LEGISLATURE.
ALL ARE SEEKING BIG SUMS
Heads of Institutions, Except During Last Two Years, Created Large
 Deficiencies.
Little Rock

State Auditor L. L. Coffman estimat- ed the total indebtdness of the state at this time is about S400,000. He says: Those seeking appropriations have pursued the policy of securing as large appropriations each year as they were able to persuade the legisla- ture to give, and by this policy, the state has been going in debt. Large lump sums appropriated have been made every year. making it impossible for the restrictions which could be maintained were the appropriations for specific purposes. Heads of de- partments and institutions have in many instances, excepting in the last two years, ignored the amount of the appropriations fixed for their use, and have created obligations for which there were no appropriations trusting that they would be able to met these obligations and wipe out the defcieu- cies from the money appropriated from the succeeding years

At present officers of the commission say. this kind of switching is only done in Little Rock and Fort Smith, and to get the railroads to move car from one point to another in any other city it is necessary to pay intercity rates instead of switch ing rates.

Congressman Otis T. Wingo has re- received assurances from Secretary Of Agriculture Houston that all applica- tions for homestead entries on admit tedly agricultural lands within the boundaries of the Ozark and Arkan- sas National Forests in Arkansas, which have been held up for months by the department, will soon be thrown open for entry. MT Wingo is confident he will be able to have many additional thousands of acres within the forest reserves of the Fourth dis trict eliminated from the reserves. He intends to keep up his fight to abolish both forest reserves so far as his con- gressional district is concerned It Is probable Secretary Houston will re- ouce the acreage within the reserve very materially, even if he will not eliminate the reserves entirely.
