LOUISIANA X ARK ANSAS RE-
 SUME THREE CENT RATE

Little Rock, March 23.-The rate case of the Louisiana & Arkansas railroad will be taken up again by Judge Trieber in U. s. District court in about two weeks. It is understood that the road has resumed the three cent rate. In ten days, there were 34 passenger rebate claims field with Rate Clerk Gregory, the Special Mas ter appointed in the cases. The de- cision of the United States Supreme Court in the Norfolk & Western case, from West Virginia is marking an epoch, it is believed in state rate-mak ing and this will probably have di- rect bearing on Arkansas cases. Judge Jos M. Hill, special counsel for the state, holds that it does not re- verse Arkansas decisions, while Judge Henry Moore of Texarkana, counsel for the l.. X A, holds that it does, and that passenger and freight earnings cannot be segregated in determining whether any given rate is compensa- tory.

 The above means of preventing in sects and crop pests is in reality cul- tivation of the crop and should be re- garded as such. The best farmers now are convinced that cultivation be- gains long before the plants are up anC follow that practice. Aside from the killing out of insects there is an- other reason for early cultivation. Grass can be controlled if we start early enough and we cannot start early enough unless we begin the cul- | tivation of our corn, cotton and other crops before they come up. This cul- l tivation should be done with section harrow so as to cover a great deal , of ground in a short time and because | the harrow or cultivator or weeder is really the best means of killing out | the young grass that will be up and under way by the time the crop comes up unless we kill it out A harrow or weeder will not kill grass after it has had the same start that the crop has. A sweep and a hoe are the only remedies we have left and too many trips are required to the row to be forced to depend on these implements.
 The first cultivation should be made with the harrow diagonally across the field. It does not make any difference whether the soil is loose, foul, clean tight or heavy, the harrow should be used before the plants come up. If the land is clean second cultivation should be given across the field in the opposite direction with the harrow, and third cultivation should be giv- en week or ten days later, again re- versing the direction. By this time we are ready for the cultivator. And if there is great deal of undecayed vegetable matter in the field it will not be found safe to use the harrow in the first cultivations because of the danger of dragging up the seed and young plants. In this case use the Icultivator for the first cultivation in- stead of the harrow. Then we can Icontinue the use of the cultivator until the plants get so large that it is no longer safe to use this implement Then grass and weeds can be controll- ed by the other ordinary means.

NEW QUESTION ARISES
 IN RATE SETTLEMENT
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt An nounce Scrip will Be Good Only on the Two Lines-COmmis-
 sion Considering Matter

Little Rock, March 23.-A new ques- tion has arisen in the settlement of the frieght rebate claims against the railroads, which have been pending several years. The freight scrip in payment of the claims allowed for the rebate of frieght is to be issued with in a short time. But the Iron Noun tain and Cotton Belt railroads an nounce that this scrip cannot be used in pay nent of freight that passes over any line other than these two. The Railroad Commission has the matter under consideration with the traffic departments of the railroads to sec if it cannot be adjusted, so that the scrip may be used for such portions of a shipment as may pass over the lines of the Iron Mountain and the Cotton Belt.

At this time there is much work that can be done in the way of clean ing out the hibernating places of many kinds of insects, such as the cut worm, old logs in the field, ditch banks and the ends of rows that never have been cultivated. There will not be much accomplished now that will be of untold value later on in the season. We must remember that on every farm at some time during the grow ino season there is an occasion to have anxiety over the presence of some sort of pest or insect Now IS the time to make the first and really the most important step toward the prevention of these pests.

MUNICIPAL PROJECTS
 ARE ALL ABANDONED
Supreme Court Declares Bond Amend. ment Not AdOpted-Did not Re ceive Majority of Total Vote
 Cast by 12,977.

Little Rock, March 23.-Many mu- nicipal projects throughout the state that had been proposed under Amend ment no IA, the Bond Amendment to the Constitution, must now be aban- doned, since the Supreme Court has declared it not adopted
 The test case was appealed from the Pulaski Chancery court, and involv- ed proposed $150,000 bond issue for the purpose of erecting a new city hos pltal. Had 1t been successful, this and several other propositions would have been submitted to the people, and 1t was predicted that the city would soon have it finances well-provided for The defeat of the amendment is serious blow to the city, and will call for the most careful financing to provide for actual needs.
 There were two cases in which the validity of the amendment was at tackled. One was that it had not been properly advertised, but this was over-ruled. The second was that it did not receive an adequate number of votes, and this was sustained It was held that Amendment No. 10, the Initiative and Referendum, under which the Bond Amendment was sub mitted, did not change the rule of the Constitution that any amendment to be adopted must receive a majority of the totad votes cast at such election. It had been contended by the advocat- es of the Bond Amendment that under the l X R Amendment any measure" submitted hereunder required only a majority of those voting on the ques- tion. But this contention was declar- ed untenable by the Supreme Court, which held that the term measure" includes only "laws" referred to or initiated by the people, and not Amendments to the Constitution.
 At the September election there were 135,5l7 votes cast for candidat- es for Governor and under the con- struction of the law by the Court, a proposed amendment must have re- ceived 67759 votes to have been adopt ed. There were 57,7S2 votes cast for the Bond Amendment, and 40,441 against it, clear majority of those voting on the question of 14,341, but falling short of the majority of the total vote cast by 12,977.
 This is the third time the issue has been before the people for consid- eration, and the second time it has failed through a technicality. The first time it was defeated on a straight vote. It was rewritten and, although receiving a majority was declared not adopted because it was fifth submitt- ed, when only three could be submitt- ed under the constitution. 1t was again rewritten and re-submitted, with the result already given. Each time it has shown a greater strength before the people as the result of the campaign of education that has been carried on during the last five or six years.
 It cannot be re-submitted for the election in 1916, for there are already three proposed amendments to be vot- ed on. The next opportunity for q vote on the question will be 1918, un- less a constitutional convention should be ordered by the Legislature of 1917.

1t was my first experience Of camel
riding and therefore interesting II not
altogether charming. The saddles used
on this journey were formed Of large
pads, one in front and one behind the
hump. The driver climbs into place
in front, with a huge peaked pad to
keep him from falling off when the
camel rises. Then the passenger
mounts behind the hump, and the cam
ell is with difficulty persuaded to rise.
This he does hind quarters first, and
the passenger finds himself thrust up
In midair us if on a tower. The huge
pad offers no possible support, and he
can scarcely overcome his desire to
prevent a fall by putting his feet on
the drivers shoulders. That worthy,
however, soon comes up to join him.

June and Matrimony.

The first people to adopt the month
Of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of
marriage, were the ancient Romans.
who considered June the most propi-
tious season of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The Eo-
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con
tracted in any other month of the year.
especially if the day chosen were that
of the full noe or the conjunction of
the sun and moon. They also held
that Of all months May was to be most
avoided. rs in that month newlyweds
would come under the influence of spir-
its adverse to happy households. These
ancient marriage superstitions were re-
tanned by the Christians in the middle
ages, and wen today June is consid-
cred by many to be prc-eminently the
month of marriages. - Pittsburgh

The verse found In Genesis II, "And
the whole earth was Of one language
and Of one people," has given rise to
much speculation Is to the language
spoken on the earth previous to the
confusion of tongues" According to
many authorities, Hebrew was the Ian
guage spoken by Adam, while others
state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee
are simply dialects of the original
tongue. The Persians assert that there
were three primitive languages. The
Arabic, being the most persuasive, was
used by the serpent in addressing Eve;
the Persian, being the most poetic, was
spoken by Adam and Eve. and the
Turkish, being the most menacing, was
employed by the angel when driving
the guilty pair from the garden of
Eden.

king Of Egypt, wishing to learn the
language that would naturally be spo.

heard it reported that there are some
fields of corn which have matured So
that good seed has been selected, and
if such is the case this corn should be
carefully handled and kept for seed.
The matter of seed corn is a serious
one to the farmers of North Dakota,
and especially in this part of the
state, where for years farmers have
been breeding up corn and acclimat-
ing it for seed. It looks as though
this work would all have to be done
over, but possibly there is seed enough
if it is CAREFUL saved SO that acclimat-
