FALL FLOWING

Now is the time for fall blow ing if land will permit it at all
 Insects have just gone into winter quarters and the blow will destroy many of them ant expose others to the birds and tC the cooler atmosphere. Then the blowing under of the weeds and grass will permit the decay of this growth before the plant ing of the spring crop. Fall blowing also leads to a better distribution of the available plant food in the soil. It lesSens the spring work and that is im- portant. Land will be in good condition for spring working for alfalfa or for cotton or corn or any forage crop. Get a few acres plowed in November while in good working order is the advise of the Extension Division of the College of Agriculture.

Keep Out Of Debt

The curse of farming in the south is debt; debt brought about by credit while growing a crop. Arkansas farmers must get out of this habit. They are nearer this possibility now than ever before. It Is absurdly wrong for a farmer to have to ask
 credit for food for his family or feed for his team. A farmer may we'll go into debt for a SOW or d COW, or a mare. or even for a good blow, or possibly for fer tiliZer, but never for food or feed, except for coffee and sugar and such thing. and for flour if he does not grow wheat. Arkansas farmers have just got to get out of debt and keep out of debt for the living. Every farmer should be tagged who does not have at least fifty good hens, three Sows, and two or three cows. and a garden for vegetables for all the year, The Dean of the Extension of the University at Fayette vile, wants to hear from the Arkansas farmers and Arkansas farm women who have found ways of making in one year one hundred dollars or more in cash over and above the cotton and corn feed.

ROMANTIC COURTSHIP

In the marriage. reported last issue, of Mir. John Ashcroft, of Kansas City. and Miss Reola Threadgill, of this place. lies the story of quite a romantic court ship. Several years ago rela- tive of Miss Threadgill. from Kansas City, was visiting here and on her return told Mir. Ash croft something of Miss Thread gill. He was interested in her so decided to write. From then on they corresponded regularly. but did not exchange pictures. neither knowing for sure wheth- CT the other was young or old, except as the, had been describ- ed. About month ago Mir. Ashcroft wrote that he was coming :o Ozark and would be here on an afternoon train. and that if Miss Threadgill liked him and he liked her they would be married at once. Miss Thread gill was naturally excited as she with her parents SAW the train pull in. Only two men alighted. The first, middle aged man. tho very nice looking. Miss Threadgill smiled and spoke, but this produced no effect-but then he wasn't the man. The second then approached, smiled, and Miss Threadgill inquired his name what followed we leave for others to tell. We consider ately turned our back on them. Anyhow, Uncle Sam's mail ser vice had assisted cupid in one more case. They were married next day.

RIVER NAVIGATION

R. w. Hart, of Little Rock, who has been visiting the towns along the Arkansas River urging the commercial organizations to send delegates to the meeting of the government engineers, in Little Rock November 16, and collecting statistics regarding tonnage which could be movedby route. was in Ozark yesterday. Mr. Hart met and talked with a large number of our business men and has interested them very much.
 The Commercial Club will meet next Monday night and this matter will be the burden of the evenings work. Reports showing the exports and imports for this county and the probable amount which could be shipped by water, will be shown. Two or more delegates will be elected to attend the Little Rock meet ing which is being held by gov ernment engineers to determine the value of the Arkansas river were 1t in a navigable condition, and on these engineers report will be based the appropriation for river improvement.
 The tonnage for the state will make good showing if properly presented to the engineers. and would no doubt insure a liberal amount for the improvement of the Arkansas river as a water way.

Seecial to Tie Tclcgrnbh


Philadelphia, March 1S.-Johnny
Kilbane, fighting Irish lad and holder
of the worlds featherweight title,
picked out his dearest of all green hol-
idays-St. Patrick's day-to defeat
Kid Williams, the worlds bantam
king, at the Olympia last night. He
Won five out of the six rounds.
The closest that Williams came to
having a round was in the third, when
he held the Cleveland lad even.
Four thousand fight fans paid prices
all the way from 81 to $3.50 to see the
two worlds titleholders exchange wal
lops at the rate of more than So every
second.
Divide Big Purse
The two fighters each received $4,000
and it is estimated that the total re-
ceipts were about $4,000.
Pkiladelphians were not used to the
sight of Kid Williams taking a beat
ing. He has always trotted through
his bantam rivals here and came
through with a victory, but last night
he went out of his class and had to
take second honors. But it was not
an inglorious defeat. He fought a real
champion. Kilbane, being a marvel in
ring generalship.
Johnny held the Baltimore lad al
arms length on any number of occa-
sions and then jabbed away with his
left He Jared Williams in the clos
ing rounds and Williams head was ac-
cidentally cut.
Manager Harris claimed that Will
liams was butted by Kilbane in the
third round, but Referee Frank
O'Brien passed it by. At any rate,
Kilbane was fighting hard and waded
in at every opportunity. Kilbane was
the busy boy all the time. Williams
made a game fight but lacked clever
ness at critical times.

OLEO REDUCER IS
ATTACKED IN HOUSE
COntended by Officials That 1t
VIII Deprive the State
of Revenue

state retail license for the sale of oleo
was attacked before the House health
and sanitation committee by State
Dairy and Food Commissioner James
Foust, \. w. Woodward counsel for
the dairy and food division, and John

deprive the State of revenue and open
the way for such extension of the
retail trade that supervision would be
difficult II was also contended that
it would interfere with the dairying
interests. DR.. j. G.. Steedle, of McKees
Rocks, sponsor for the bill. declared
that it would lower the license and
enable more people to purchase the
product.
An agreement to amend the drug
peddling act So that manufacturers
shall secure licenses and supervise
agents was reached at hearing be-
fore the same committee. DR.. l.. l..
Walton, Williamsport, appeared for

hearing of the Senate and House COM
mittees on railroads on the full crew
repeater and it may be held next week

hearings to-day on the bill for electric
headlights, automatic bell ringers and
the telegraphers bill for two days of

highways and passin gof street cars by
vehicles; for summary conviction for

ing stenographers for school superin-
