One of the first bills introduced in the senate is bill for the es- tablishment of uniform system of bookkeeping and accounting in all state institutions and an ex- animation of books, accounts, statements and settlements of county and township officers, all to be done by a board of three examiners. This is matter that has been too long neglected. Such a law is badly needed in Arkansas, and if properly drawn it's passage will prove very ben eficial to the State.

THE WISHBONE AND THE
 BACKBONE.

Don't carry your wishbone where your backbone ought to be" 1 saw this, says writer in the Sunday Companion, the other day on a card in a shop window, a piece of excellent advice which we all need, Is 1t not? How much time we waste in wishing that things were other than they are; that our environment were diff ferent from what 1t IS; that we were physically, or morally, or spiritually stronger than we know ourselves to be! Is it too much to say that the two little words 'I wish,' express the normal atti- tude of mind of a large number of people? 1 do not suggest that the exercise of will power can altogether change our environ ment, or give us bodily health; but it might help to do both. It is of no use to ourselves or to others to spend our time and energy of soul in wishing that we and the world were better. It would be of a very great deal of use were we to exercise our will power in the matter, if, instead of saying, 'I wish l was better" q wish the world were better" we were to say, T will be better and I will do my part in making the world bet ter" If we, you and l, are to do any good work in own souls, or in the world, we must leave off say ing, T wish," begin to say "I will.

NIGHT RIDERS FIRE
 INTO NEGRO'S HOME
More Than Fifty Shots Fired Into Bedroom of Bud Livingston
 Near Moorefield

The home of Bud Livingston, a negro, living near Moorefield, a few miles west of here, was fired into Friday night by unknown parties. It is reported that more than fifty shots were fired into the negro's house and about the premises, but the occupant escap- ed injury.
 The negro had gone to bed, and 1t IS stated that he would prob ably have been killed had 1t not been for his presence of mind. When the first shots came through his bedroom window, he rolled out of bed onto the floor and un- der his bed, where he succeeded in prying up a plank and crawled under the floor.
 Livingston was arrested recent ly charged with having attempted to commit an assault upon Wh ite girl, but at the preliminary hear ing the prisoner was exonerated. It is believed that the shooting Friday night resulted from the
 
 belief of a few indignant persons that Livingston is guilty of the charge.
 All telephone wires in the vicini- ty of the negro's home were cut.

LET'SB BOOST OUR
 OWN COMMUNITY

New blood, new money brough' by new people. homeseekers anC investors is what we need to de. velop Arkansas.
 More people are necessary tc enhance land values and bring the greatest prosperity for the greatest number.
 The way to bring people here is to let them know what we have. What we have is so much better than what most states have to offer that when we let the peo- pie know what we have to offer homeseekers and investors they will come to Arkansas. Particu- larly is this true of this part of Independence county, with its di- versified opportunities for indus trious people of small means and for the investor of large means.
 What we need to do is to or ganize and all pull together. Wonders could be accomplished by such a force in bringing home seekers and investors to our midst. Individual effort along this line can not accomplish much when not backed up by hearty cooperation and worse than all, when harassed by knockers who would cruelty the best interests of the country and wrong their fellowman for the sake of pock- etlng a few dollars themselves.
 But, while the man who knocks may and often does succeed in spelling his neighbours business prospects, yet he seldom profits by such acts, for the intelligent buyer soon has him sized up cor rectly and makes up his mind that he does not want to cast his lot in a place that is afflicted with such parasites. So instead of boosting the country to his friends when he returns home, he advises them to stay away.

4 HOME VEGETABLE GARDEN
Timely Suggestions For Planning
 Your Spring Vegetable Garden.

A farmer who intends to plant a vegetable garden this year should plan his garden during the idle days of winter. A piece Of ground rectangular in shape and containing from one fourth to one-half acre is sufficient for the largest family
 Plants that are to occupy the same ground for several years should be placed to one side of the garden so that they can receive the attention necessary and not interfere with other short season crops. The grape, rasp- berry. blackberry gooseberry, straw berry, currant, asparagus, rhubarb and horseradish are Of this type. and can be planted at this time of year
 If early crops of eggplant, pepper and tomatoes are desired they should be started in hot bed about the first of February, then by the time it would be safe to SOW the seed in the open ground we can have plants large enough to set out.
 Plants like cabbage. caulifower and Brussels sprouts also are often started in this way. By successive plantings we can have an abundant supply Of any vegetable from early summer till frost. The farmer should remember that rotation in a garden is as i'm portant as it is in the regular farming because of insects and fungous dis cases
