EARLIER MALLS
 3,876 BULLETINS

Three thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six special government bulle- tins and circulars, issued by the Unit dStates department of agriculture on diversified farming in the south have been mailed out to Faulkner county farmers during the month of January by County Demonstrator J. w. Earlier. This is the largest num- Der ever mailed by a county agent during one month.
 MT. Earlier reports that the diver sified plan will be adopted by almost every farmer in the county during the coming crop year. All the farmers with whom he has some in contact re- gently, he says, are planning to raise a sufficient quantity of feed stuff to supply their own needs. This means large reduction in cotton acreage, Mr. Earlier thinks

ATTEMPT IS MADE TO
 BURN SCHOOLHOUSF

Tuesday night of last week an un- successful effort was made to burn the public schoolhouse at Bee Branch. The fire was kindled under the stair way on the first floor and burned a hole about one by four feet through the floor before being discovered and extinguished. For some little time uast the patrons of this school have been divided into two factions over local issues and since the above occur renee various charges and counter charges have been limited" at, re- sponsibility for the effort to destroy the building always being charged to the ''other side"
 In view of the many broad-minded, public-spirited citnzens living at Bee Branch, it would indeed be difficult to believe that no matter how much they may differ upon local issues neither faction could justly be charged with responsibility for the above offense. More probable was it the work of some dissolute character, on destruc- tion bent, who, through local dissen- sions, saw greater opportunity to es- cape detection and the punishment he so richly merits.-Clinton Democrat

M. 1. DAVIS NAMED
 AS CIRCUIT JUDGE

Little Rock, Jan. 3O.-Marcellus l.. Davis of Dardanelle yesterday was appointed judge of the Fifth judicial circuit by Governor Hays to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Jesse M. Martin of Russellville. The circuit is composed of the counties of Yell, Conway, Pope and Johnson.

After years ser vice he resigned to become secretary to the then governor, James P. Clarke.
 MT. Davis frequently has been urg- ed to be candidate for circuit judge or congress, but has steadfastly re- fused.
 He will begin his duties as judge Monday, when he will preside over the circuit court at Danville, Yell county.

SAYS NEWS PAPER IS
 BEST PIPE COVERING

"Old newspapers make the best cov- erings for exposed water pipes to prevent them from freezing" said G
 l.. Leach of the Home Heating and Plumbing Company. At least three or four thicknesses should be used and the wrapping should start about three inches under ground and cover the entire exposed pipe. It is not neces- sary to employ a plumber to do this; it can be done by small boy or girl
 MT. Leach says it is important to have all pipes so arranged that they will drain well. All faucets in the house should be opened after shut ting off the water and remain open until the water is turned on again.

Parllamentarians, like. the courts. do not always agree, and during the past week the members of the Arkan- sas senate enjoyed three-cornered parliamentary clash between the three recognized parliamentarians of the senate. President Elmer J. Lun- dy, John Ike Moore of Phillips and J Marion Futrell of Greene were the three concerned in this weighty con- bat, and Senator Moore carried off the laurels.
 The discussion started on Wednes-
 day morning, when Senator Moore of-
 fered a motion to go into executive
 session for the purpose of confirming appointments made by the governor
 during the past two years. President Lundy held that such an action would require suspension of the rules, it being out of the regular order of busi-
 ness. Senator Futrell was appealed
 to by the chair, and while he did not
 deside against him, he did not take
 the decided stand that was manifest ed by the gentleman from Phillips,
 who asserted the motion was privileg- ed business.
 For three days thereafter the three
 members argued the question when one was within ear-shot of the other. The matter was not finally settled un- til complete copy of the rules of the United States senate was produced. Here it yas found that motion to go into executive session is always in order, and President Lundy will so entertain the motion the next time it is made
 These three leaders in the senate still retain corner on parliamentary procedure in the senate, and there are
 none who will protest from a ruling by any one of them.
 Ever since the Moore equal sui frage constitutional amendment reso- lution was made special order for discussion on Monday morning, the halls about the senate chamber have
 been crowded with attractive femi-
 ninity, all lobbying for the adoption of the resolution.
 Evidently taking courage by the numbers displayed, Mrs. Mai Sparks
 Briant, expressing clerk of the sen ate, sees victory for the suffragists, and she has visions of some day try ing her skill and winning ways against a mere man in contest for state or county office
 'If they adopt that constitutional amendment" Mrs. Briant stated, "I am going to see if l am good poli- tician, and to prove it will run for office if get chance
 Every member of the 1915 senate has now introduced a bill or made a speech but Senator Harry Harris of Monroe. Senator Harris went through the 1913 session without a speech, though he was forced several times to explain the nature of bill which he fathered. This year he has broken the senatorial silence only to vote on roll call. Senator Harris does not believe in speech making, and he

WOULD REDUCE
 RA1f OF INTEREST

Little Rock, Jan 3O.-The Perkins Buchanan bill to reduce the legal rate Of interest from 10 to 8 per cent aroused warm debate in the house Friday afternoon. The opponents of the measure claimed it would have a reactionary influence upon the busi- ness interests of the country. A par hamentary wrangle prevented the conclusion of the debate and the bill went over to Saturday morning.

|S|DfL|Ch1S ON THE
 ARKANSAS SENATE CAL VERT FEARS WAGNER
LUNDY, MOORE AND FUTRELL ARE RECOGNIZED PARLIA-
 MENTARIANS.

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-One man in the Arkansas senate demands all the spare time of another, and if this cer- tam senator hears the voice of the other addressing the chair, and he is outside the room, he makes a nasty entrance. When the watched sena- tor desires to introduce bill the other must know the exact purpose of the bill or he makes objection to it being read.
 The watched senator is G. w. Wag- her of Crawford, and the one who camps on his trail is c. c. Calvert of Sebastian. The labor leader from Fort Smith was slipped up on by the veteran from Crawford in the 1913 session, and he is not to be caught mapping second time In this last session Senator Wagner acrose just before adjournment, and with the statement that he had a little local bill he desired to introduce, the sen ate held off adjournment in order that It be read. The bill was focal all right In it's character, but it was at the same time general enough to take the hons share of Senator CalVert's district, Fort Smith, in tne provisions of prohibition order which would prevent the sale of liquor within 10 miles of Van Buren.
 Whenever Senator Wagner sends up bill now he always replies to the query of Senator Calvert, that it is
 "a little local bill.' But Senator Cal vert has developed Missouri tenden- cles now, and he demands a sight at Senator Wagner's little local bilr' before it is read by the assistant sec retary.

Takes Rap at Inspectors.

Judge Lands of the United States
district court, Chicago, who once as
sessed fine of $29, 240, 900 against the
Standard Oil company, imposed one of
two cents against Henry Johnson, Bar
rington, H., Saturday. Johnson with
a shot gun drove government agent
off his premises when the agent was
looking for cases of foot and mouth
disease.
''The fact is, that this defendant is a
farmer who rents from another man;
that at the time of this offense there
was large number of men going about
the country doing things to other peo-
pies CATTLE" said Judge Lands.

Small Tractors to Aid Farmers.

The manufacturer of the Ford auto
mobile promises to revolutlonlze the
agricultural business in this country
within the next few years. He is ex-
perimenting at his factory on simple
tractor which will be sold for 5000 or
less to the farmers. This machine can
be used for hauling, blowing, harvest
ing or any other use that the farmer
may see fit to apply it. 1t will both
cheaper and increase production on the
average farm, where the cost OF labor
and of horsefesh is a serious item OF
expense.
At the present time the motor trac-
tor, steam or gasoline, as applied to
agriculture, is adapted only to farming
on a large scale. It can be used to ad-
vantage in the great wheat fields OF the
Northwest in blowing, reaping and
threshing, but it's cost and its size rem
der it's use impracticable for the small
holder. A small, cheap tractor will
serve thousands of farmers where the
huge machine of the present day, by
it's own limitations, serves only few
individuals under fixed conditions. Dds
Such tractor as Mr.. Ford proposes
to manufacture should serve all the
purposes on the farm of general mo-
tor in pumping, saving, grinding grain
and cutting feed. The first cost will
be less than that of good horse and
the maintenance will be much less, es-
pecially when measured by it's produc-
tive powers. In the mechanics of
farming a new farm implement meet
ing so universal need is likely to take
it's place with the moving, machine and
reaper in the influence it exercises upon
agriculture and farming life. -

THERE is no question that the man
ner in which we'll made roads are al
lowed to deteriorate results in enOr-
nous loss to the state. A proper use
of the drag will keep nearl y every road
in continuous good condition. Why
should not the dragging of roads be
made mandatory? Under the condi-
tons of the past road is built at great
cost, soon becomes miserable trail,
continues so for a long time, and is
again rebuilt at heavy cost. The use
of the drag would have kept this road
in good condition at fraction of the
cost of rebuilding. If such law re-
quired the purchase and use of mini
mum number of drags in each town
ship according to its mileage, it would
probably result in their being used in
the bad places, and legislation could be
stopped at approximately that point.
Certainly something should be done
along this line

Is AMERICA keeping the war going?
With the sales of war supplies to Great
Britain and its allies tOtaling more than
81, 500, 900, 900 and with foreign trade
balance for the expiring fiscal year ap-
proximating 81, 900, 900, 200, the United
States has become in period of eleven
months the greatest market for mill
tary equipment in the history of the
world American manufacturers and
producers not only are reaping tremen-
daus profits from the war trade but are
preparing to supply an enormously in
creased demand for their wares. Pro-
digious as the volume of war business
appears now, it is puny compared with
the American traffic in arms and NUM-
tions which will be developed if the
great struggle continues year or two
longer.

WHEN Governor Phillip gave notice
that he will veto the Stemper bill un-
less it is amended SO as to apply only
to the city of Milwaukee, and further
modified so that whenever that city
wishes to substitute a 'better' saloon
for an undesirable one, it may do so,
he revealed quality of real statesman
ship that will at once commend him to
MANY who have heretofore misunder-
stood him. Governor Phillip is deeply
interested in several legislative pro
posals of vast consequence to himself
as we'll as to the people OF Wisconsin.
His acQuiescence in this Stemper bill,
by perfunctOry signature or even by
allowing it to become law in default
of approval, might have made the way
clearer for some of the measures of
great moment which now, for political
reasons, are meeting with strong fac
tional opposition. The shrewd politi-
clan might easily, in view of all the
facts as they are, have moved with the
current and, by giving approval to this
measure or permitting it to become a
law, won the applause of Milwaukeeans
while the rest of the state, frowning
for a moment, perhaps, but quickly
forgetting, would have made no serious
protest. But Governor Philip has
seen fit not to play the part of the pol
itician. He holds the Baker law to be
the settled policy of the state and that
to nullify it would be to break faith
with the people. He concurs in what
he believes to be the sentiment of the
people of the state, that there should
be fewer and better saloons. Holding
this view, Governor Phillip stands upon
a high plane and without waiting for
the current of events to solve the prob
lem he has "taken the bull by the
horns,' as it were, and set the mark
for those who would destroy or weaken
a fundamental principle of the states

SPEAKING of the apparent DISPOSE
ton of the legislature to defeat some
of the consolidation and retrenchment
bills, Ellis Usher thinks the time has
arrived when somebody ought to ''ring
the BILL" ''The history of Billy Ess-
man has never yet been written, so a
state employe told me, significantly,
not long ago. Why can't the men who
really want to do what the people sent
them to Madison to accomplish use a
little shrapnel, if it is absolutely neces--
sary? The people are quite weary of
being patronized and cajoled by their
salaried employees. They will smash
humbug some day, and do it with

FROM the White House point of view
the course of the Ship of State is
straight ahead, and the shadows and
danger points have been plainly chart
ed. But there is year ''1916'' COM
ing. No one longer expects that Colo
mel Bryan will support President Will
son for a denomination, as he is posi-
lively on record opposing second
term, and the reasons why he might
muzzle his convictions on that score
have passed. A good many Washing
tonians assert that what Bryan has
lost because of his advocacy of prohibi
ton, he has gained by his support of
the things that are so dear to large
part of the country; namely arbitra-
ton and peace. In any event, Bryan,
as a Secretary of State, and reported
failure, is no longer mentioned. The
politicians assert confidently that he
has the future of his party in his keep
ing. Even those who profess to doubt
this statement are anxiously wondering
what is going to happen when the
struggle is staged between the Wilson
and Bryan forces.

ACCORDING to the records in the Of
flee of Secretary of State Donald at
Madison, there are Sc, 568 automobiles
in this state and they are increasing in
number about 200 per cent. The fees
received by the state amount to $780,
$40. The value of the autos runs way
up into the millions of dollars, and yet
we hear people complain of hard times.
The times are hard, for many have in
vested in automobiles who could not
afford such a luxury. Many business
men are investing in autos men whose
business demands their undivided at
tention. Many are now neglecting
their business and these are the very
ones who first cry hard times. Water

that there is being circulated false

raised on her, the undersigned take
this means to brand that story as false;
neither we, nor anyone in our behalf,
made any approaches to anyone in that
direction, as can readily be verified up
on consultation with the owner of the

In SPITE OF reckless newspapers, no
body in the United States desired to be
dragged into war. We have hundred
million people in this country, whose
real and practical rights at home are
very much more important to them
than their technical and theoretical
rights abroad. There were millions of
people whispering to one another, dur
ing the period when the newspapers
were shrieking defiance at Germany,
that they did not wish to be embroiled
in European quarrels, and that they
felt entitled to peace and quiet here at
home. Since neither they nor any of
their neighbors desired to navigate
dangerous European waters just now
as passengers on belligerent ships car
rying munitions of war-they did not
see why their somewhat vague theO-
retical right to commit this obvious i'm
propriety should be championed to the
point of being forced to sharp issue.
