 WHEREAS, the $10, annual appropriation is perpetual one and each state receives that amount re- gardless of whether the state sup- plies any additional funds or not. This sum, however, is entirely too small to be of real practical value in serving the needs of the entire state. Under the terms of the Smith-Lever act each statet shall receive an ad- ditional sum of more than $10, 100000 per year provided the state puts up an amount equal to the extra amount appropriated by the U. s. govern ment.
 The question now before the farm CTS and business men of Arkansas IS S0dIl we TbCelN6 lLcoc SAtId llIOuS- ands to be paid by the U. s. govern ment for the benefit of carrying farm demonstration work directly home to the farmer on his farm. This is not an appropriation for the College of Agriculture, but for the direct in terest of the farmer.
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the Greene County Farmers Uniou, hereby petition you, our honorable senator from the First Senatorial district, to use your power and in- fluence to secure the states cooper ation with the U. s. department of agriculture, in securing this educa- tional assistance for the farmers of our great state of Arkansas.

!. FARMER |S KILLED BY
 COTTON BELT TRAIN
W.J. Limbers, We'll Known Citizen, Met Tragic Death at Slatton'S
 Crossing This Morning.
(From Saturdays Daily Press.)


 The northbound Cotton Belt pas senger train No. A. ran into wagon and team driven by w. F. Limbers at Slatton's Crossing, two and a half miles north of Brookland at nine o'clock this morning, resulting in the instant death of MT. Limbers. The train took the body back to Brookland, and then resumed the run to Paragould, arriving here more than an hour late.
 It is stated that Limbers was driving a team of mules and that he started over the crossing in ample time to avoid a collision with the approaching train, but that his mules became frightened as the wagon was passing over the tracks and refused to budge. Limbers tried frantically to urge the mules on and in his fren- Zy he evidently did not think to jump out of the wagon. The train lOIt buS NdSOh liiIO piSISS, NlipPiSo the mules and hurled Limbers against the front of the engine with such force that death resulted inn miately. He was carried some dis tance before the engineer could bring the train to a stop.
 Limbers was 54 years of age, and was regarded as a most substantial citizen. He came to this section five years ago from Indiana and located on farm this side of Brookland in Craighead county. lie leaves his wife and two children, one of whom is Mrs. Frank B. Emmons, wife of F. B. Emmons who runs a grocery store on East Court street.

In Boston, not long ago, fire broke out in the basement of a building occupied by a wholesale paint and chemical concern. The fumes and smoke became so thick that it was impossible for the fire men to enter the basement. A half dozen of the ordinary sixteen-inch size electric fans were quickly requi- sitioned by the fire chief and their breeze directed down the stairway. As soon as the rear basement win dows were broken to allow the es- cape of smoke and fumes, the effect of the fans gradually cleared the basement so that the fiermen could work easily.

EYES ON ARKANSAS.
Farmers of Oklahoma Coming in
 Great Numbers.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-The immi- grafton of Oklahoma into Arkansas is growing to be almost an invasion. Not only are farmers coming to this state in great numbers to locate, but the business men of that common wealth are purchasing large holdings in Southwest Arkansas and otherwise investing their capital Near Glen wood, in the Caddo River and Mazarn valleys, more than 70 families have located during the past month. They are buying largely of the cut-over land 'flanking the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf railroad. This railroad forms a junction with the Iron Mountain railroad at Glenwood, the, rapidly growing Pike county town. Glen wood is the center of this settlement Most of the newcomers are well-to-do farmers and bring with them consid- erablet property, such as live stock The dryness of the seasons in East ern Oklahoma is given as the reason of the shift in population. These valleys they are occupying offer a varied soil with plenty of water for cattle.
 H. G. Johnson of Oklahoma City has just completed a two weeks in spection trip throughout this section in the interest of many prospectors who contemplate locating in Arkan- sas. He plans to estab a colony in the beautiful Mazarn valley. His statement concerning the project and the locality he is inspecting is as fol- lows:
 Arkansas is awakening statewide interest throughout Oklahoma as an attractive field for business, resi- dence and investment. My trip has been revelation to me in the matter of cheapness of land here, remark able profits in orchards and diversi- fled crop possibilities, while climate and water here surpass that of any section of the United States I was ever in. believe Arkansas-an that portion I have just visited es- pecially-surpasses the Sacramento valley of California in it's develop ment possibilities and attractiveness for residence. Literally thousands of Oklahomans have their eyes on Ar kansas"
 Mir. Johnson is shipping all kinds of farm produce and minerals to Oklamoma City. He will open a regular bureau of information in that city, so people can learn of the great possibilities to be encountered in this section of Arkansas He ex- poets to make Oklahoma City the gateway to this Arkansas movement This company also intends to capital ize industries to work up the mineral resources to be found here and to manufacture clay products

ParagouIa, Ark., Dec. 28, 1914.
 the First Senatorial District.
 Lily Dear Sir:
 WHEREAS, on May s, 1914, Presi- dent Wilson signed a congressional act known as the Smith-Lever agri- cultural extension act which makes to each state in the union a direct annual appropriation of $10,000.00 to be used solely for extension work in agriculture and domestic science. The act provides that this money shall be expended by the agricultural colleges of each state. Not a cent of this money can be spent in giving in struction to the resident students of the college of agriculture and domes- tic science. The government insists that the greatest stress shall be laid upon demonstration work. The col lege of agriculture of the University of Arkansas is now engaged in con ducting extension work upon which it is spending the $10, 100000 received for the year ending June 30, 1915.
 It is paying part of the salaries of the force of the cooperative farm demonstrators. It is also paying part of the salaries of the force en- gagged in boys and girls clubs which has been carried on for several years. More than half of the $10,- 000.00 is spent for these two pur- poses. Part of the money is being used to pay an expert teacher of domestic science who devotes most of her time to giving instruction wherever possible anywhere in the state. There is also a livestock man who is devoting his entire time to the advancement of the livestock in dustry. The loss to the state from hog cholera alone is probably not less than one million dollars per year. The losses from tick fever
