THREE NEW LAWS
 TO BE SUBMITTED Primary Law, Higher School Tax and Liquor Law
 Seem Assured.

Former Congressman s. Brun- didge of Searcy will at once place in circulation petitions to initiate a new primary election law, designed to insure honest e. lections. The proposed bill is es- sentially the same as that which was defeated by the last Legisla- tUre, after it had been endorsed, in principle, by the preceding state convention of the Democrat ic party, and drafted by a com mittee of representative men ap- pointed by that convention.
 The educational interests of the state will at once enter up- on a campaign III favor of the proposed amendment increasing the maximum of the school tax that may be voted from 7 to 12 mills. This was enthusiastically endorsed by the State Teachers Association. It is pointed out that the adoption of this amend ment would not in itself increase the taxes of the people, since the amount to be voted is optional with each district. It would on ly enable those districts which desire to do so to vote any a. mount up to 12 mills for school purposes.
 There are rumors that an ef- fort will soon be made to initiate the repeal of the statewide pro- hibition law, the saloon advocates being encouraged in their stand by the large vote cast for Judge L. c. Smith, whose platform was frankly an endorsement of local option.
 Several other measures are probable through the 1 & E route and is is expected that in short time the state will be covered with initiative petitions.

1T ALL LOOKS RAD

When you walk along the streets and see waste paper, box es and other refuse blowing a. round it looks bad and shows carelessness on the part of our people.
 When you see ash piles all ov- CT the place, heaped up, higher than the walk it looks bad.
 When you see vacant lots used for dumping grounds it looks bad and decreases their value.
 When you see gutters and al- leys filled with tin cans and brok en bottles it looks bad and shows the residents are not on the alert for city beautiful.

JUDSONIA GETS
 A GOOD BOOST
Arkansas Gazette Gives Us A Very Favorable
 Write-Up.

The following appeared in the big special edition issued by tho Gazette last Sunday:
 Strawberry growing is another magic industury. Many counties do wonders in this line, and small towns jump into import ance as berry shipping centers over night. Take Judsonia, for instance. Judsonia is a small town but a progressive one. It does not break into the news a great deal during something more than ten months of the year, but for six weeks or such a matter it is of nation wide importance, for dur ing these six weeks the wonder full strawberry crop of Judsonia territory is shipped from Judsonia to Northern and Eastern market. The Judsonia strawberry grow CTS are organized and market well, and now they are going in for truck farming, so as to continue the prosperity of Judsonia during a longer period each year.

 TALKS TWO CROPS Director of Extension Says Soil Will Yield
 Twice Yearly.

Fayetteville, April 15. Two crops of Irish potatoes from ev- cry patch, corn and peas, corn and soy beans, corn and peanuts corn and velvet beans, and cot on and crimson clover will be a great combination this year. Plant rape after the last cultiva- tion of corn. What a combina- tion for hogs, corn and peanuts and corn and rape with hogs running to both patches and fields! It may not make real hard meat, but it will make mighty cheap meat. Let us make a great campaign this year for peas, SOW beans and peanuts in every acre of corn. and then crimson clover or rye in every acre of cotton.
 Sane Farming
 Why not adopt the above name instead of safe farming?" A farmer who has even a small part of Gods earth that will pro- duce food ought not to gamble on the chance of making money on another crop to buy feed and food for his stock and his family. It is a species of insanity that has passed over the whole South and parts of the West, and compara- tive poverty is the result. Let us raise more stuff for food and feed, and be sane and loyal to family and community.
 A Spraying Manual
 The Extension Division of the College of Agriculture, co-opera- ting with the United States De- partment of Agriculture, has published a handy little spraying manual for orchardists and gard eners. It will be sent free to any one interested who will write either to the Little Rock office or to the Fayetteville office. It tells what to spray for, when to spray and how to spray.
 More Cow Feed.
 Arkansas farms do not have enough COWS and the cows do not give enough milk, partly because they do not get enough of the right kind of feed. A milk COW that is an easy keeper" is not profitable. A mill to produce much flour must have much wheat and less wheat means less flour. Just so, less feed for the cow will mean less milk. Let us have more cows and then feed them more. Plant Sudan grass ] cow-peas, soy beans and peanuts and then plan for a cottonseed meal. More feed. more milk.
 Free Bulletins.
 Here are a few Arkansas and government bulletins that should be of interest at this time: Home made Silos, "Sorghums for Forage. '' "Cowpeas, 'Lesped- eza, Home Vegetable Gar den" Poultry Management, " Spraying Manual" These will be sent free to anyone on re- quest to director of the extension service, University of Arkansas, United States Department of Az riculture, cooperating, old state house, Little Rock, Ark.

ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD B
 UNITED.


By those who take an unbiased view of the situation which is presented by having two civic organizations work ing along separate lines for the same purpose, the upbuilding of Norwich and Norwich industries, it is impos- sible to look upon the effort which is now being made to bring about the consolidation of the Norwich Board of Trade and the Norwich Chamber of Commerce as anything but a move in the right direction.
 That a previous effort to the same end failed is no reason for believing that this one will not succeed. There has been an opportunity in the mean i time to study the effects of two such organizations in a city of this size, to see how their work overlaps and how prejudice and antagonism against the city's best interest are created. In stead of unity of action there is dis sention. Matters are judged by the organization which presents them rather than upon their merits and it is this which needs to be done away with. There should be strong united organization ready at all times to give it's full support to anything which looks to the betterment of the city The public spirited citizens and the business men should stand together upon this matter and not pull apart It is by Such action that results are obtained.
 Norwich has had plenty of exam .ples Of what can be accomplished when its citizens present a united front and work for a bigger and bet ter community and when such an enG is in view it is time to put aside pet. ty jealousies and dislil1es and le everyone put a shoulder to the vince of progress.
 Such it is believed is the purpose O the effort now being made and it ii to be hoped for the benefit of the cit, that the desired object, the consoli dating of the two organizations cal be secured. It is time to correct tn mistakes of the past

LETTERS TO THE EDITION
Would Go to the Canal.


 Mir. Editor: If the government at Washington has the fear of Oriental invasion as a climax to an interven- ton on Mexican soil, why not deal in the open, and not institute and follow a policy of hesitation and folly?
 The situation in Mexico has been a regret and a block to mankind for a period of four years or more. What means the recognition of one bandit clique over another? It means only one succeeding the other. and they all have a finger in the pie; that is, talk ing a hand at murdering the hated Americans. What are we going to do with a neighbor who treats with con tempt the fellow who lives but just across the way? Are we asleep to the fact that in Mexico we deal with vari- ous bandits, or those who live to spoliate?
 What excuse have we to blunder, and blunder along, accepting the integrity of one class of cutthroats above the other? The land of the Aztecs, unfor- tunate as 1t is, through oppression and inhuman treatment, Is a land the peo- pie of which are branded with ignor- ance, superstition and all the other sins of decaying mankind. We have faltered until hestitatior is suicide It has become a fear upor our part.
 How much longer can we avoid ou, | duty as a nation? Let us crush wftf relentless force those who wreck tn, temples of God and outrage man anC womankind. The scream of the Amer.

SHOULD CORRECT THE ERROR.

New handicaps are being disclosed almost daily as the result of the sea- mems act which the present adminis- tration placed on the statute books. Some of them were pointed out while the legislation was being advocated and others which are being revealed must have been apparent to those who were back of the law if they gave serious consideration to what was contained in the far-reaching 1egisla. ion.
 It is working out, however, like much of the other half baked legis- lation which is pushed through con- Sress and state legislatures. Ameri- san shipping has long needed encour- lgement. There have been steady de- hands for 1t along reasonable lines but it has gotten only a black eye.
 In this connection the Philadelphia ledger pointed1y says: 'The feel ng of unrest, the aversion to discf- pline, which this act created is likely lo have further and perhaps more se- fous developments. It is becoming nore and more difficult to get crews tnd to handle them after they have hgned. The provision in the law which entities them to one half o1 heir wages at the first port at whict he ship touches is often interpreted

Stories of the War
Bride To Be Fled From verdun

The Mayor of verdun spent the early days of the bombardment in the cellars of the Town Hall, where he conducted the official business as us- ual, undeterred by the roar of heavy guns and the noise of falling mason ". The Mayor was assisted by seven of the municipal officers. and the Chief Customs agent did the cook ing for the party.
 The Mayors favorite story of those trying days is an incident of a would be bridegroom and his wedding feast
 'It was on Feb. 26," says the Mayor that a railway worker who had been mobilized in the Nosges came to us in the Town Hall cellar while the bombardment was proceeding at itS highest pitch.
