ARIZONA FOR CLEANLINESS.

Arizona declared for cleanliness, in the matter of the liquor traffic two years ago. It was not the fault of the voters that the courts foundthe amendment so carelessly drawn that the personal use" decision had to be made No one can blame the court for deciding as 1t did. Its function is to con strue the law-not to make it.
 Now that the old amendment is found faulty, the only remedy is to correct the faults and make it court-proof The proposed new amendment does this beyond all reasonable doubt.
 ;s@ The local option measure IS devised, skillfully and purposely devised, to nullify the action the people have, taken on the prohi74 bition question. It would make the state "dry" in spots and "wet'' in spots, condi- ton that would be simply intolerable.
 Now that the pamphlets containing the proposed laws have been put in the hands of the electors, 1t is the duty of every citizen to study, with the greatest care, this local op- ton amendment, which will be found on pages Io to 2I.
 Should such measure, as submitted, not receive the approval, of the majority of the total number of legal voters voting at such election in the county, but should receive the approval of the majority of the legal voters residing within any incorporated city or town within said county, and voting therein at such election, said measure shall become effective, according to its provisions, within said city or town," etc.
 This amendment, if passed, would undo all that has been done for the cause of prohi- bition and would prove the entering wedge by which the liouor traffic would soon be restor- ed to all its former power.
 A vote for the prohibition amendment is necessary-a vote against the local option amendment IS doubly requisite.
 This measure will be found on the off cial ballots as Nos. Io7 and Io8. The new prohibition amendment snumbered Io4 and Io5 on the ballots and the voter who wishes to vote for prohibition will mark his ballot after the words "Io4 Yes' and after the words ''Io9 No.''

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The election in Maine has been very widely discussed and although 1t went republi- can, it is full of promise of a Democratic vic tory this fall. The main feature is the i'm mense gain in the democratic vote. In 1912 President Wilson only received 5I,ooo votes whereas in 1916 the democratic vote has in creased to o8,ooo, about 35 per cent increase. If the same increase continues throughout the country it would give President Wilson vote of about 8,5oo,ooo which would be sure to re-elect him, and it will, so in view of the fact that wi:h the republican vote split half in two in Maine in 1912 when MT. Wilson only car ried it by bare 5000 votes, the fact that they defeated Senator Johnson for reelection by only o,ooo shows what strong drive, the power of Wilson'sname will make this fall. So if the Republicans are making SO much of hurrah over very small victory in republican state, what will they do with such states as New York, which gave Will son over 100000 plurality, and Ohio, which he carried by I5o,ooo and Indiana by over 100, 1000.

 Men can be led by women, but not driven. It pleases them to be asked to help women; 1t angers them to be bulldozed by women. If women suffragists helped one party and fought the other, the antagonism of the op- position party might last longer than the gratitude of the party they helped, and do them more harm than their friends could remedy.
 It would be an i'll omen for the future political life of the nation if women once grouped themselves into separate party to wield the balance of power for their own pur poses, no matter how laudable their ulti- mate objects might be.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY INCREASING.

Reports from the industrial centers indi- cate very clearly that the great tidal wave of prosperity has not yet reached its zenith but is rising higher and higher. The stock of the great steel corporation capitalized at nearly $2, ooo,ooo,o 1000, larger corporation than the Standard Oil, has gone above par and has reached the highest poirt in its his tory. The railroads are showing increasing earnings, and industries in every line are hourishing as never before.
 The people of the United States would be most unwise to turn President Wilson out of office, who has not only kept out of two wars, but whose wise statesmanship has con tributed so largely to our present fourishing condition. If MT. Hughes should be elected it would be an unparalleled calamity as it would start the republicans "tinkering with the tariff as they have pledged themselves in their platform to repeal the Underwood Tariff Bill, which would cause depression of business" for one and possibly two years, as tariff tnkering always does.
 However, the good sense of the Ameri- can people can be depended upon to let well enough alone for as soon as the war ends, our trade with Germany and Austria which has been lost to us during the war will be resumed at once, and which is twice as large as our trade in munitions of war has been, so with Wilson retained in the White House prosperity of the country IS assured for many years to come.

SUFFRAGISTS NON-PARTISAN.

Most of the male friends of woman sui frage find satisfaction in the decision of the Woman Suffrage Association to continue its non-partisan policy. The women in conven- ton at Atlantic City, by big majority, voted not to ally themselves with either of the na- tional parties in the present campaign. This is in line with the whole history and tradi- ton of woman suffrage in America. By keeping aloof from partisan activities the women have already more than a dozen states, and by the same procedure they seem likely to win the rest with least delay and op- position.
 In this campaign, or any other, suffrage workers might gain some strategic advantage by aligning themselves with one particular party or candidate. But the antagonism that such action would invite would inevitably

At meeting of the Democratic Coun- ty candidates at the Court house on Friday evening of this week a democratic platform was adopted upon which every democrat can stand. In addition the county candidates pledged their individual and collective SUD- port for the entire state and county ticket The democratic candidates will visit all sec tions of the county in body urging the voters to support the democratic ticket as a whole and especially urging upon the Democratic voters the importance, from party standpoint, to abide by the will of the majority as expressed in the Democratic pri- mary.

Reports reaching the Democratic Coun- ty Committee from the several precincts in the county show conclusively that the Inde- pendent candidacy of James G. G.~Cash, de- feated for the democratic nomination for Sheriff in the Democratic primary, is not looked upon with favor by those democrats who supported him in the recent primary contest. Every political indication points to the fact that the democratic voters of the county propose to abide by the decision of the majority as expressed at the primary polls and are lending no encouragement to inde- pendent candidates who failed to receive the democratic nomination.

PRODUCTION OF OATS.

This Grain Is Well Adapted to condi-
tions In New York State.
In spite Of the fact that the oat crop
is not generally considered profitable
the authorities Of the New York state
college Of agriculture at Cornell uni
versity say that farmers will continue
to grow oats in New York for a num-
Der of reasons. The principal one of
these reasons is that some small grain
crop is needed on most general farms,
and oats is better adapted to condi-
tons in New York state than either
wheat, rye or barley.
These authorities say that the oat
crop is more generally grown in New
York than any other cereal, wheat be-
ing limited mostly to the level. fertile
plains in the western part Of the state.
Corn is more widely grown than wheat
because of its general use for silage,
but it is usually grown on only the
more productive land. Oats are grown
on more types Of soil and under a
greater variety of conditions than any
Of the grains. Those who have stud
led farm crops hold that q grain crop
is needed to help seed grass and cover
crops-is needed to produce straw as
bedding and grain for feed, SO that
almost any practical crop rotation suit
small grains.
Since farmers and experts alike agree
that the oat crop is necessity in gen.
eral farming, the problem which they
are trying to solve is how to increase
the profits from its cultivation. The ex
perts say there is little opportunity tc
increase the price or value of the grain
itself because the price is largely de
termined by the large crop grown in
the west, where it is more cheaply pro
duced than in New York. Since it il
probable that New York farmers &C.
tually buy more oats than they produce
they may be interested in seeing the
price kept down rather than raised
One of the things that can be done tt
help the oat crop and the farmer wht
is growing it is to treat the seed fol

nothing to the cost of production, ant
there is good evidence that it will ordi
narily increase the yield from 10 to p
per cent wherever smut it prevalent
Most plans for improving general yield
Of crop are said to involve consider
able expense either of money or labor
and those familiar with farm manage
ment say that it is rather risky to pu
more labor or money on crop that i

profit. An effort which costs so littl
as the treatment of seed oats for smu

Where to Plant Orchards.

A year or so ago young farmer was
told to set his orchard on a hill where
the trees would not be so likely to suf-
fer from late frosts as they are down
in valley. The cold air settles down
into the valley and drives the warm air
up, which protects the trees on high
ground, while those ON the low ground
may suffer.
The young farmer now says that he
notices the buds on the trees dowe IN
the valley are the first to swell. That
is another reason for keeping fruit trees
up on high ground. Trees that are
down in a valley, protected from cold
winds, are apt to start early, and the
buds, being early, are all the more like
1y to suffer from late frosts. Plant Or
chards on high. sloping ground where
are good air and drainage, and less
trouble than otherwise will be expe-
rienced with late frosts.

SEASONAL BREEDING.

Ii Arkansas farmers are GO
ing to be stock men, they should
adopt some system in their breed
ing and breed at certain seasons
only. For example, good hog
farmers will usually breed for
tiirst OF October or about the last
pigs TO be narrowed about the
first OF October or about the
last Of February or the middle of
March. They will then have
rape and wheat for November
and December pasture for the
fall pigs end rape and cowpeas
for the spring pigs. Dairy cows
should freshen in September or
early October while beef cows
should drop their calves in Feb
ruarv. Colts in Arkansas should
be foaied in April and get some
growth before the flies get toe
bad. But adopt system and

thus leave the field clear for
seeding wheat or rye or oats for

crop. Cattle will eat the blades
and at least 10 per cent OF the
stalk. OF course, if man does
not need any of the stalk for
feed it can be left and plowed
under. But we should see no
