LET THE PIGS DO THE GRUNT1NG
he pigs do the granting.

Let the pigs do the granting.
There is better work ahead for US.
Gruntng never lessened the burden of a load, never pulled a COM
munty out of a rut, eve added a dollar to any mans bank account.
Grunhng makes pessimsts, and pessimiss have bad lvers, and
around.
And pesnmlsts are always grunting about something.
They grunt if times ar bad; they grunt because they are not better
when they re good; they grunt yer their meals, and e politics,
and religion, and anything else that offers a chance to grunt.
And then they grunt because there is nothing left to grunt about.
Granting is a habit with them-it is their daily pashme-and
nothing is SO dear to their hearts as a great, big unadulturated grunt
Many OF is grunt a part Of the time, but some folks grunt all of
the time.
Now let's quit grunting.
Let's get down to hard tacks and dig a lot of wealth out of tas
Let's make the coming year the greatest productive year in local
history.
Let's get out and hustle-ets find the opportunities, Of make them
where ont exist.
The soil is as rich today as it was a yea ago, and it will produce
as much and the products will sell for more money.
There is nothing produced in this community but has a market
waiting for it, If we don't see the market, let's get u and find it,
Time is too short for it to hunt is.
Let's not sit II dry goods boxes and wait for the world to come
to our feet We will die granting if e do
There's a great big place for is in the world. Let's fill it-ets
that we are producers, that We are something than grunters.
Let's be optmSts-for optimits do things, and never grunt.
Let the pigs do the grunting.
There are better times and more congenal work ahead for u.s..
Let's all get busy and whoop it up.

FILE TRANSCRIPT IN
 COURT TO TEST AMENDMENT

Little Rock. Feb 16.-The trans cript was fined Monday in Supreme Court in the case of W. R. HiIdreth against Chas. E. Taylor, Mayor of Little Rock This Is the test case to determine the validity of the Cousti- tutional Amendment adopted by the people last September providing for bond issues by cities for internal i'm provements. The amendment was de clared adopted by the speaker at the opening of the session. Since there is technical question as to the pas sage of the amendment. and bonds could not be placed advantageously until this question is settled it was agreed that a friendly suit be inau- gurated to pass upon the validity of the law.
 The Little Rock City Council called an election for April to vote on an is sue of $150000 bonds to build city hospital. and the Chancellor declined to grant an injunction in time to per init the election to be held.

REBATE RATE CASES PARTIALLY SETTLED
 AT JOINT MEETING
fortion of Claimants Agree to Accept Compromise Offered by Railroad. Others Will Contend for
 a Full Settlement.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-Out of over $500, ,O00 in claims held against the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt rail roads for rebates on shipments during the time the rate cases were pending which were represented at the hear ing before the Arkansas Railroad Commission Monday, about $325, 5,00O agreed to accept the compromise of fered by the railroads, and settlement will be immediately made with them through the Commission as a clearing house.
 All day the settlement was argued before the Commission and Special Master J. G. Wallace sat with the Commission as an advisor. Attorney General w. L. Moose, Gov. CIV Hays. and Joseph NJ. Hill, chief counsel for the State in this litigation, also par ticipated, all making statements in which they declared their willingness to approve the settlement offered by the railroads. Talks were made by the attorneys for the railroads. by shippers and their attorneys. No un- amious decision could be reached, so as sort of compromise the Commis- sion suggested that those who desired to accept the proposition of the rail roads be permitted to do so, and those  who believed they were entitled to the full amount be permitted to continue their litigation. The railroads agreed to such a proposition and in such a manner was a partial settlement made.
 It is estimated that about $175.00O of the claims represented at the hear ing will be further contested, and there may be added to this some of the claims not represented, but the major portion of the unrepresented claims are expected to favor a settle ment.
 By the settlement the railroads pay the States $65000 attorney fees, also the costs of the suits, and the Mas ter's court, to pay the passengers claims in full in intra-state milage good for two years, and the freight claim at 50 cents in script, good for payment of intra-state freight charg es for two years.

DOWDY BILL DE- FEATED IN HOUSE
 VOTE 36 TO 5S
Would Have Abolished All Boards and Commissioners in Charge of Man agement of Various Institu-
 tiOns of the State.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The measure that has caused more argument than anything else that has come before the House during the present session is the Dowdy Bill, for the creation of State Fiscal Board It was talk en up Wednesday afternoon of last week, and went over as unfinished business until Monday morning. The consideration of the bill was then re- sumed with Mr. Condray of Faulkner on the floor speaking in opposition to it, All forenoon and for two hours in the afternoon the flood of oratry swept over the House. The opposition for the bill was led by Messrs. Con dray, Johnson. Griffin, and Little while the fight for the bill was led by Mr DOwdy, the author of the bill and Messrs, Gentry, and Smith. The bill was finally defeated by vote of 36 to 5S, and the clincher put on by the adoption of motion to reconsider and lay that motion on the table.
 The bill would have abolished all the boards and commissioners now in charge of the management of the var ious penal, charitable and educational institutions of the State, and and sub stitute therefore q Board of seven members, one from each Congression- al district. The opponents of the measure contended that it would cen tralize power and build up political machine. It's friends pointed out that it would be a measure of economy and would put the management of the States affairs upon a business basis.

WEEKLY LETTER OF COM
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
Bureau of Mines. Manufactures and Agriculture.-POtatOes Should be Given Proper and Careful
 Attention-impOrtant.

The oat crop was doubled this last fall and We find many indications that garden, vegetables and feed crops will also be doubled ard more in many cases this spring. Spring oats and spring wheat should be given the formaldehyde treatment for smut and potatoes should be treated for scab. These new crops should be grown in the best way possible and not in the easiest and most convenient way, or the old way. All the work in the way of preparation that is due a crop should be given to that crop and the results will repay us many fold. Po tatoes should be given proper and careful attention.
 In potato preparation one of the most important things to do is to treat the potatoes with formaldehyde in or der to prevent scab. Take one pound of formaldehyde and mix it with thir ty gallons of water in barrel and then let the seed potatoes soak at least two hours in this solution. If scab is in the land the only thing to do is to keep potatoes off that land for at least three years. This rule holds true with tomato and cotton blight also. But you can keep from putting scab in the land by using the formaldehyde treatment before plant ing.
 In cutting the potatoes, cut them lengthwise and you will have better results and get n larger amount of food for each eye on which to live until the root system is formed. Do not dig the eyes out or try to get to many cuts from one potato. An aver age potato should not furnish morH than about five cuts.
 Ten wagonloads of well routed ma

nure to the acre is not too much for potatoes. Manure that is not we'll routed has a tendency to encourage scab and should therefore not be used. The soil must have a good supply of humus and the manure is the best and most valuable humus you can get The manure should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. The land should be given a good deep breaking in or der to give the root systems plenty of good loose soil in which to grow and expand.
 While potatoes do well or many kinds of soil, they do best on rich, well drained, sandy loans containing an abundance of organic matter The soil should be mellow, deep and porous When potatoes are grown on heavy soils, not well drained the tendency is for the production of excessively Watery tubers of undesirable quality
 Potatoes respond to the iudicious use of fertilizers and reouire fertili- gers in which there is d large percen- tage of potash. With a good heavy application of barnyard manure there should be fair application of a fer tilizer with a high percentage of pot ash, and the potash should come from Sulphate of Potash, 200 pounds to the acre of tte Sulphate alone with . heavy application of manure will pay. Do not lime potato soil because the lime has tendency to produce scab- by potatoes.
 The next important thing is to plant plenty of cuts and then to knock off the top of the bed after the pota- toes have sprouted and leave only about two inches of soil between the surface and the young potato plant A good stand is of the greatest i'm portance and these two steps are the most important to insure a stand The potatoes should not be forced to wind their way through six inches of soil before reaching the surface and a harrow will knock off the surplus dirt nicely and really give the pota- toes their first cultivation.

 Commissioner.

of the Smith bill to abolish the Land Office. He argued that it was a use less expense, and that the work could be done by clerk in the Auditors office at much less expense. Senator Going declared that the office was self sustaining, and necessary to the state government. Senators Toler, Burgess and Greenhouse also spoke on the bill before Senator Futrell closed the de- bate in it's favor. The bill was then defeated 13 to 20, an increase of five votes in favor of the bill over what is showed when defeated two years ago.
 There was quite a lengthy debate on the Smith bill repeating the Ac- tuarial Bureau before it was finally permitted to be considered. It was finally declared to be in the same po- sition as it was at the end of the third reading and open for debate. No one cared to debate it and the roll was called. The chair announced the bill carried, Y to l6, but a sounding of the ballot showed the vote to be r to IT, and the bill lost. A motion was made to reconsider the vote and lay that motion on the table, and notice of reconsideration was given. After quite a lengthy discussion President Lundy ruled that the bill having been reconsidered once, was not subject to d second reconsideration, and the mea- sure passed to the Senatorial morgue without further protest. Senator Bush was the one not voting.
