Litle Rock, Oct. Phillips county has broken the political ice. It held the first primary in the state on Sept. 28, and nominated officers that are to be elected in November, 1916, nearly fifteen months after nomination.
 But Phillips is not to be the only it's primaries Nov. s, Chicot No. r, and Pulaski Jan. 12. It is also being agitated in many other counties, and probably not many more than half the counties will hold the state and county primaries together in March. Yell and Lonoke are among the counties agitating an early primary.
 An avoidance of the rigors of winter campaign is the reason urged by many for the early election, al though this course will mean a null tiplication of elections.
 The talk in favor of changing the time of the state primary appears to be subsiding but the question will be brought up at the meeting of the State Committee, which will probably be held in December. Reasons against change appear almost to balance the reasons for it, and it is unlikely that a change will be made.

SHARP EYED BIRDS DO
 SENTRIES' DUTY AT FRONT.
Experiments Show Feathered Tribe Are
 More Useful Than Telescopes.

Experiments and observations made fronts by bird lovers have revealed some striking characteristics of the feathcred broods that have not been frightened from their accustomed huunts by the war Quite as unusual as any other conclusion is the showing that crows, from generations of expe- rience, fear rifle fire. but not artillery fire. while song birds, never having known the fear of the hunter and his rifle. break into song when the guns are fred but are alarmed at the tre. mendous explosions of shells.
 Even the trained artillery horses con. tinue to show more fright at shell ex- ploSions than the birds. The crows, for instance. do not even trouble to take flight when q shell lands near them, but does not explode, and only rise for an instant when it does go off. But when the rifles begin to pop they put as much distance as possible be tween themselves and the trenches.
 Many of the soldiers have canaries in their trenches and have conducted numerous experiments with them Usually the discharge of rife Is a signal for them to sing, and even the sound of breaking glass will bring the same result The same is true to a great extent of the wild song birds.
 The birds, of course.- display sharp.

TRAIN ROBBERS OVERLOOK
 TWO MILLIONS IN GOLD?

Wheeling, w. Va. Oct. S.-The masked men early today held up and robbed a Baltimore and Ohio express train from New York to St. Louis two miles west of Central, w. Va. Their booty was taken from the mail cars, according to reports reaching here, and was believed to be large.
 The train robbed is one of the best on the Baltimore and Ohio system. # left New York yesterday morning at 10 o'clock Usually it carries large numbers of through passengers and important mail and express.
 The amount of booty obtained by the robbers is unknown. One report said that in the express car, which the robbers did not take with them down the track when they uncoupled the en- zine and mail car, was S2.000,000 in gold. Posses numbering more than 100 men were in pursuit of the rob- bers before daybreak.

The last ten years have demonstart- ed that the Arkansas farmer has not been thoroughly advised upon the po- tentialities of the soil. A few years ago, cotton was practically the only money crop grown, but now it is one of a dozen, and new crops are being discovered all the time.
 It is within the memory of the pres ent generation that rice, straw-ber- ries, cantaloupes, tomatoes, alfalfa, winter wheat, and live stock have talk en their proper place in the indus trial interests of the state, and in the aggregate they are already greater than the cotton industry.
 Two other crops, somewhat uni que in the South, that are just now being brought to public attention are garlic and sun-flower seed. In some sections both have been grown to ad- vantage as a money crop and the acre age is to be greatly increased.

Little Girl, Sitting on His Knee, Begged
 to Have Her Papa Back, and the Ex-
 ecutve Could Not Resst-Aeed Con-
 victs Have Horror of Dying In Prison
 and Beg For CIemency.
 Shocked by conditions at the Georgia prison farm, where Leo Frank Is held Governor Harris announced that he not only intended to pardon q large number of the convicts confined there but also would send to the legislature d special message urging radical re- forms in the treatment of the prison ers
 Governor Harris was impressed by the fact that many of the prisoners are old men. feeble and emaciated. yet held behind the bars.
 Poor fellows he said, some of them have been at the farm twenty five or thirty years. Their former friends and associates have forgotten them. It is worse than being dead asked some of them why they wanted their liberty. when they could remain at the farm and be supported by the state.
 That word liberty has a stronger meaning to those men than it does to outsiders, and in reply to my query they would say, oh, governor. we just want to be free again. We promise not to be a charge on the state if released
 Heart Beeds For Victims.
 In describing the wards for victims of tuberculosis Governor Harris said: Ny heart blcd for those poor crea- lures, doomed beyond the aid of man. Their pireouS appeals for freedom still ring !n my ears. l asked some of the poor creatures why they wanted to leave when they were getting the best attention possible. With tears in their eyes. they all said they wanted to go home to die.
 can turn down those poor uufor- tunate people? No, l shall lend my eff forts to saving many of them, and so long as l am within the law and not defeating the ends of justice | shall seek to alleviate their suffering and re- store them 70 their families No mat ter how long !! may live nor what may occur in the future, l shall go to my grave hearing the walls of those un fortunates."
 The governor, discussing the appeal of the little daughter of Edgar Strip ling, n life termcr who climbed on his knee and obtained his promise to par don her father. said 1t was one of the most pathetic incidents of the day.
 When that pretty kttle child climbed up on my knce," he said and begged me to give her papa back to her could not resist. l told her to run immedi- ately to her father and tell him would send him back to. his family I will free that man and many others who have already had sufficient punishment meted out to them
 As the man Striping, his little daughter and all elder daughter gath cred about and wept for joy. l had to turn my face to keep the members of my party from seeing my own tears. but found that every man in the crowd likewise had tears in his eyes"

HUSBAND LEAVES
FOR SECOND TIME
Jack Ronaparte IscayesI51s Wife and
sf Elopes With Annie Paesam,
$50 Aged Eighteen.

There is but little connubial felicity
for Mrs. Mildred Naples Bonapartc,
the youthful wife Of Jack Naples Of
$50 Main street, for although they
have been married less than year
the faithless Jack has deserted his
wafey on two different occasions The
,;,st time he fled was on May L. when
he departed, according to the Broken
hearted Mildred, with an eighteen
years old girl named Annie Peasant.
Mildred and Jack had been married
orIly few days when the latter
strangely disappeared. Investigation
showed that Jack had forged a NUM-
Der of checks with which to buy pro-
visions for his family and fearing dis
covery he had fitted away Later he
returned, settled his differences with
his creditors, and all seemed we'll.
The deserted wife claims that before
he left the last time her husband
added insult to injury by stealing her
clothes, presumably to give them to
his new found love. Mildred now
finds herself in most embarrassing
situation, with most of her wardrobe
gene as well as her husband.
