DRAINAGE LAW OF
 MISSOURI UPHELD

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Mis- souri drainage law was upheld as constitutional by the supreme court yesterday.
 The Missouri drainage law pro- vided for the creation of the Little River drainage district, in Southeast Missouri, embracing 540,000 acres in Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Stod- dard, Scott, New Madrid and Penn iscot counties. It authorized a levy of not more than 50 cents an acre on all the land in the district to be made with the sanction of a majority of the landowners in the district.
 Louis B. Houck of Cape Girar- deau, railroad builder and landown- CT, held that 450O acres owned by him and made subject to levy of 25 cents an acre would not be ben efited, as a part of his land would have to receive the overflow water. The state supreme court decided against him and he carried his case to Washington.

Terrific Explosion In Powder
 Plant Kills Many Workmen

Wilmington, Del, Dec. Especial to The Press) Double guards
 were placed around the plant of the
 Dupont Powder Company here to- day as precaution against possi- ble incendiary action upon the part of enemies of the owners. The ac-
 tion was decided upon as wise course to pursue in view of the ter
 rife explosion of yesterday result ling in the death of 31 persons and
 the serious injury of many others
 Authorities are working on the
 theory that the explosion was the result of a pro-German plot. Warn |ings have been issued that other explosions may follow. Of the 26 men in the packing room at the time the explosion occurred, not enough was left of any to aid in Identification.
 The explosion occurred in a packing house where black powder pellets are prepared for shipment. These pellets are used in rifles and for other purposes. Much of the powder, if not all, was being ship ped to the nations engaged in the European war. The packing house was situated in valley along the historic Brandywine Creek and was one of large group of small build ings which make up the Upper Hag- ley plant of the Dupont Company, about three miles northwest of the city.
 It was 1:30 o'clock when slight explosion was heard in the neigh borhood, followed by another tri file heavier, which was quickly suc- ceeded by a terrific blast that not only rocked the whole valley, but shook and startled Wilmington.

CARAWAY IN FAVOR
 ADEQUATE DEFENSE

Jonesboro, Dec 1.-Hon. T. H. Caraway of this city, representing the First Arkansas congressional district in the national congress left Jonesboro today for Washing ton. In reviewing the intended work of congress in the coming session, Congressman Caraway said
 "The question of adequate na- tional defense will be the paramount issue in the coming session of the national congress. 1 believe in a substantial increase in our army and navy, and in this, the most un- settled stage in the worlds history, it would, in a measure, be unwise, even in the enjoyment of our pres ent national peace and prosperity, not to instill in our national life a rightful sense of security for our great governments government which, in past history, has always responded quickly and patriotical- ly to the defense of her peoples lib- critics in times of national peril.
 'I doubt, however, that congress will be prepared to go as far in the matter of national preparedness as is outlined and advocated by the administration in Washington, es pecially in view of the report of the recent statement of the secre- tary of the treasury, because of the taxes that will have to be imposed to meet the necessary current expenses of the national government.
 Personally, I am more interest ed in rural credits and marketing. And people living in the great St. Francis basin should be granted na- tional help and relief in the matter of proper drainage so that millions of dollars in the creation of section al drainage districts would not be thrown away in the laudable efforts of reclamation. If properly drained this great basin would easily be made the greatest productive agri- cultural district on Gods bountiful footstool. The St. Francis lake is the natural outlet for all of the drainage systems in the valley. This outlet will never be an adequate one until the national government expends liberal sum for the pro- motion of this great work.
 "I will introduce bill in con gress asking governmental aid in the proper drainage of the St. Fran cis basin, part of which is situated in the congressional district of which I have the honor to repre- sent. I will also introduce and most strenuously advocate a bill es- tablishing a proper and equitable system of rural credits"

DELIGHTED WITH
 LITTLE ROCK TRIP

Minis Hammond, residing in the Camp Ground neighborhood, one of the winners in the boys club work in Greene county has written The Press about the gathering of the boys and girls in Little Rock last week when they were entertained by the people of the capital city and attended daily lectures by agri- cultural experts. The letter fol- lows:
 To The Editor:-

 Donald Reeves, route 1, Gaines vile; Cecil Farley, route l Wal colt; Cecil Rogers, route 8, Para gould, and Minis Hammond and Letha Weatherly of Camp Ground.
 We were met at the train in Lit tie Rock by one of the representa- tives of the government and went to the court house for enrolment where we received badges and in- structions. Then we went to the Capital Hotel for dinner. Later we returned to the court house where we were assigned to homes with the best families in Little Rock.

RAILROADS CANNOT

Washington, Nov. so.-(special to The Press. )-The interstate com merce commission this afternoon de- nied application of seven big east ern roads for permission to con- tinue operation of lake steamship lines under the Panama canal act. The act referred to prevents trans continental railways from owning or operating steamship lines, the purpose being to guard against the possibility of railway control of coastwise traffice to the extent of monopolizing the coastwise business and increasing ocean rates to cor respond, very largely, with ral freight rates.

Every day we assembled at the
 court house and heard lectures on farming by the leading instructors in the demonstration work. The meetings were conducted by MT. Jernigan, the state agent. All the lectures were highly interesting and very instructive and if we boys will only try to do as they told us we will have a better exhibit of corn, peanuts and pigs at the coun- ty fair next fall.
 We also visited the state capitol land listened to a talk by Gov. Hays. Many other places of inter est were visited.
 We all enjoyed the trip inn mensely. The people of Little Rock who assisted the government agents seemed anxious to do everything to give us royal entertainment.
 In this connection we club mem bers want to thank the fair asso- citation and the business firms of Paragould for the premiums they gave us and for the courteous treat ment and kindly consideration we have received from them. We es- pecially want to thank MT. Bent ley, our county agent, for the un-
 tiring efforts and deep interest he has shown in the boys and girls. He is deserving of the hearty sup
 port and cooperation of all the people of Greene county in the
 great work he is doing. AS for the
 club boys and girls we have de termined to follow his instructions and do our level best to merit the interest MT. Bentley and the people
 generally manifest in our work. '

English Papers Ridicule Peace
 Plan Proposed By Henry Ford

The Press) ).-Henry Ford today held a conference with Cardinal Gibbons and explained that his peace plan was to get the soldiers out of the trenches by Christmas. and he appealed to the cardinal to join him in the movement. The cardinal withheld formal judgment on the proposition, but in a state ment to the United Press he said he feared the task was too diffi- cult. However. he expressed ad- miration of Ford for the roseate view he takes of the matter.
 Ford came here from Washing tonton Swhere his presence at the peace meeting arranged by women peace workers gave great impetus to the gathering.
 It was admitted at the White House that the proposals made by Mime. Roska Schwimmer and Mrs. Philip Snowden, foreign peace dele gates, are not regarded with any great degree of favor by the ad- ministration.

London, Nov. 27.-(Special to The Press) In London Henry Ford's plan for a peace conference to be held in some neutral Euro pean country is regarded merely as an advertising scheme of the mill lionaire automobile manufacturer. While British officials and the British press do not resent the eff forts of Ford to call a peace con- ference, they are outspoken in ridl- cule of the idea, and many make no secret of impugning Ford's mo- tives. High officials and promi- nent citizens call the plan an ad- vertising scheme and a gallery play through newly acquired riches. Semi-editorial comment of one Brit ish newspaper called Ford's propos- ed voyage a "pro-German peace cruise" and announced facetiously that Bryan had been offered job as first mate"

Workmen ran from every build ing and shack in the wide area which the company's plant covers. A great column of smoke rose from the spot where the packing house stood. When the cloud disappeared there was only a hole in the ground marking the spot where the packing house had been but few minutes before.
 Twenty-six men were in the packing house when the powder went off and not enough of any of them was found for Identification, with the exception of Allan A. Thaxter, the foreman, whose home | is given as Portland, Me. Part of
 his body was found hanging on a tree across the creek.
 It was identified by shreds of clothing that still chung to it. Arms, legs and bits of flesh were found as far as a quarter of a mile distant from the scene of the disaster. Parts of the bodies of two horses caught in the blast were blown more than quarter of a mile.
 One workman who rushed to help at whatever rescue work there was to do, espied an arm floating down in the rapid current of the creek and fished it out with a stick.
 Four of the thirty-one men kill ed were blown to pieces while at work outside the packing house. The remainder were at work inside.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-(Special to The Press) The department of justice this afternoon announced that federal agents would be sent to Wilmington to investigate the Dupont explosion.

The vegetables that the farmer will
grow in his garden depend naturally
upon local conditions and the family's
own preference. Asparagus, however.
should be included wherever it will
thrive. This is one of the earliest
vegetables and will prove a valuable
addition to the spring diet. The roots
may be planted in the fall or early
spring. After the bed is well estab-
lished, it should last indefinitely, and
for this reason the location of the bed
should be very carefully considered
beforehand.
Beans are another vegetable which
should always be included. The first
planting should be made as soon as

until the hot weather sets in. Cab
bage is also desirable, because it is
economical in the use of land and may
be sown through a large part of the
year. For spring and early summer,
good varieties are the Jersey Wake
field, Charleston Wakefield, All Head
Early and Succession. In most sec
lions OF the South it will hardly pay
to attempt to grow cabbage during
midsummer but a fall crop as we'll as
a spring crop should be grown. Caull'
flower is generally regarded as a
greater delicacy, but it is not so hardy
as cabbage. For further information
on these and similar vegetables such
as celery, lettuce, cucumbers, egg
plant, etc, the prospective gardener
should apply to his state experiment

culture for the various farmers bull
letins on these subjects.
Although, as has already been said.
the choice of vegetables to be grown
in the garden must be determined by
individual tastes and circumstances.
spinach should not be omitted. This
can be grown in the open throughout
the fall and winter all along the coast
south from Norfolk, Va, and inland
through the lower tier of southern
states. In the colder regions, a little
protection may be necessary during
the %severest weather, but two or three
inches of hay, straw or leaves will usu-
ally be found sufficient. Seed planted
in the autumn will furnish green's
throughout the winter and early
spring. Spinach should be sown in
drills twelve to fifteen inches apart,
at the rate of unc to 100 feet
of row. For the average family, three
or four ounces of seed will be found
sufficient.
