WHAT IS FUTURE OF
 SON OF JEFF DAVIS?
Appointment of Former Sena- tors Son as AttorneyGeneral
 is Cause of Much Comment.

Arkansas has another Attor- ney General Davis. Wallace Davis of Little Rock has been appointed by Gov. Hays as successor to the late Judge w. L.Moose. He is only 27 years old and since his fathers death has been associated with Frank Pace in the practice of law. He has been quite active in poli- tics, and in the Kirby-Clarke campaign was a strong adher- ant of Judge Kirby, just as he actively supported Judge Hays in his race for Governorag against Col. Brundidge.
 Will Attorney-General Da- wis emulate his father in the remarkable policital career which startled the nation ?This is the question that is being asked on every hand. His fath- CT, Jeff Davis, was Attorney General from 1899 to 1901, and went from that office to that of governor, where he es- tablished the third term pre- cedent, and went to the United States Senate where death cut short a career his friends pre- dicted was only in its prime.
 The appointment is good for the unexpired term, or until January, 1917. With fifteen months in office, it is being freely predicted that he will be a candidate for the nomination, and, aside from the prestige of his name, will have the benefit of being in. His announcement as to his political future, which must be made in the next few weeks, will be watched with interest as indicative of the trend of his political ambition. It will be especially interesting to the following gentlemen John D. Arbuckle, Fort Smith !; M. P. Huddleston, Paragould 1; Lewis Rhoton, Little Rock and X. O. Pindall, of Little Rock. all of whom have announced as candidates before the 1916 primaries for the nomination.
 Is Arkansas about toproduce another Jeff Davis?

FOR THE FUTURE

Modern methods have extended canning and preserving. Since we have learned some of the elementary principles of saving foods by destroy ing putrefying bacteria and sealing up the foods to prevent contamina- tion we have been able to save sur plus production and thus carry the supply over till such times as the fresh supply is not available.
 The farm home may be supplied with foods both in seasons for fresh fruits, vegetables, etc., and for win ter when none is available. The pro- cess Is to can, preserve, pickle. dry. etc, so the products will keep till such time as they can be consumed. Knowledge of canning and preserving makes it possible to save products that can not be marketed fresh. Many products that could not be sold or consumed fresh may be put up for future use when the market will take the products at fair prices or the fam fly of the manager may use them on his own table.
 The small home canning outfit is worta much on the farm where there are fruits and vegetable. It not only saves products that might be wasted, but it adds value to many products; makes it possible to store in concen- trated form and saves time and labor in serving. By using the canner the country home may have fruits from one year till another. Foods properly cannd and preserved will keep almost indefinitely.
 Every farmer should be a Joseph in Egypt to save while there is plen- ty. Should there be no years of fail ure in crops nothing will be lost be- cause that which has been saved will obviate the necessity of producing and Ranch.

WHAT LIGHTS THE VOLCANO?
eruptions May Be Caused by Heating Water in the Follows Of
 the Earth.

A volcano is great hollow noun tain. It is named for Vulcan, the Roman god who was supposed to deal with fire, because fire comes out of it. A volcano has hole at the top called the crater, and this hole seems to lead down into the hot interior of the earth.
 The inside of the earth is always hot, yet volcanoes are by no means al ways in eruption, as it is called when they throw out fire and ashes. It must be, then, that something happens which sets the volcano in activity. The possible cause may be guessed from the location of the great vol canoes, which, like Vesuvius Etna and Hecla, are near the sea.
 It may be that the volcano commu- nicates with the earth under the sea, and water passes into the hot interior hollow and creates vast quantities of steam or gas. This gas Is formed un, der great pressure. It must get out somewhere and so finds its way to the crater and escapes with terrific force, sometimes carrying huge masses of rock high into the air.

STEER CLEAR OF
 JOHNSON GRASS
Emmet, Ark, 5-19-15.

Emmet, Ark, 5-19-15. Editor News.
 Prescott, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 1 nave heard that Johnson Grass seed Will not mature and come m in thl5 country Now I will admit that ChiS was quite a surprise to me at ilrSV, put after due consideration. I am almost ready to accept the theory Know of few fields that have a few punches of Johnson grass on them, and it looks reasonable that if the seed would mature, it would soon De scattered all over the farm, and all over the country. Now if it is a fact that the seed will not mature in thlS country, the question of high priced hay and how to meet it. will be easily solved For we know that Johnson grass when once set is there to stay. But if the seed will not mature 1t would be easily controlled. as 1t would spread very slow from the roots alone, and 1 know from actual experience that there is no better grass hay ever been grown in this coun try, when cut at the proper time, and that is when it first begins to head.
 In the Arkansas River bottom in Johnson county it is grown extensive ly in the alfalfa fields In preparing. the land for alfalfa just about enough of the grass is killed to make the hay about equal proportions, and never fed finer quality of hay, Stocl- seem to do better on it than when fed on alfalfa alone. I have also fed the grass by itself and t is highly relish ed by all kinds of stock. Now it this information can be obtained through your columns it will be very much appreciated.
 Yours truly,
 J. M. Livingston.

Mr. Livingston's information that Johnson. Grass seed grown in Arkan- Sas Wlil not mature nor come up is undoubtedly erroneous. They both mature and co,ne up. There may have been some unusual reason why they they did not do so in the instances he mentions; but ordinarily there Is no grass more certain of maturity and germination in Arkansas than Johr son Grass.
 It would be exceedingly dangerous to plant Johnson Grass on land to be used for any other purpose than a pasture or a meadow The writer personally knows of some very fine plantations in Arkansas which have been practically ruined by the spread ng of Johnson grass from the seed, They are to be found at various places along the lower course of the Arkan- sas river; particularly just east Of Pine Bluff The discriminating evid- ence against Johnson grass is there overwhelmingly.
 We agrec with Mr. Livingston un- reservedly as to the superior value of Johnson grass as a hay crop; but, in this connection we trust he will par don us for volunteering suggestion. We suggest that he substitute Sudan grass for the Johnson grass. Sudan, while a comparatively recent impor- tation into America, has already given conclusive evidence that it possesses all the merits of Johnson grass, with out having any of it's faults; like Johnson grass, 1t is a sorghum; 1t makes fully as heavy tonnage of equally as good hay; it thrives under the same conditions; but it does not have the root stacks which make Johnson grass so difficult to eradicate. It so closely resembles Johnson Grass in appearance that the unpractlced eye will often fail to note the differ ence, but it possesses the tremendous advantage over Johnson grass that 1t can be eradicated at any time without the slightest difficulty. This advan- tage should be a conclusive argument in favor of substituting Sudan for Johnson grass, even in country where Johnson grass does not spread from the seed, if there is such coun- try.
 We have answered at same because of the unusual importance of this question

.n ourR EYES CONCENTRATING

r,is question is frequently asked
 l. l +he people who observe closely and
 GnS 's' are eIIr dismayed by the remarkably
 s.o '..,s number of people who wear
 hls' today as compared with a
 s'1' s.ot;on or so ago. Our eyes are
 s',N l.ronerating. The eyesof the pres
 ont ., generation are in no wise poorer
 'a '.tar or inferior to those of our
 ''"n a,tors notwithstanding the fact a
 ss .D rreater percentage wear glasses
 than formerly
 ' Tho nrobabilities are that the eyes of t. hnman race are neither weaker
 ,, stronger today than were those of ,m forefathers, unless it can be pro-
 .n that the whole physique of the ,,,p today is weaker or stronger. As i, the physical body, so are the eyes.
 But much more is required of oul qes now than was ever required ot any ancestors. The strenuous strug- ole for existence today, the ever in mPasing complexity of our modern civilized life, the multiplying know ledge of the world in all lines of hu- man endeavor, knowledge that must bp mastered if We would rise and achieve success, put far greater strain on the eyes of this generation than ., those that have gone before.
 Our schools are far more eXacting and severe, the business and scienti- fc world require closer application and more painstaking care than ever before. Electricity has turned night into day, and much more work is now done by artificial illumination than in the past, Sharp competition in every line makes it necessary to have the best vision obtainable.
 Because of these exacting demands on our eyes latent imperfections, errors of refracton causing eyestrain, are brought out and made manifest by symptoms of discomfort and dis hesn compelling us to seek the inn pavement of vision and the comfort afforded by properly fitting lenses.
 Investigation has shown that primi- tive races of men have the same ire gularities in shape and form of the eyes as are found in civilized races. The difference lies in the occupation out of door life, and the limited use made of they ision by the savage races.
 Examination of the eyes of the In- ilan students at Carlisle and other lndan schools shows that about 3G per cent of them have refractive er- ''rs' and need correcting lenses. This approximately as large a ?ercen- age as Is exhibited by the white aces. Even the lower animals show the dne irregularities and imperfections shape and form of eye which give, le to the discomforts caused by re factlge errors in man. 'Olne years ago, an enterprisine
