Such d step was necessary after the capture of Mount Levcen by the Austrians. the premier is re- ported to have said, and it gave the Montenesrns a weeks time to prepare the retreat into Albania, in the effort to effect junction with the Serbians and defend Scutari.
 Many more refugees from Montene- gro and Albania, including sixty Ser hian deputies, have reached Bari Brin- ulsl and Rome.

 This ship was almost the last hope of the Montenegrins." NJ. Vita contin- ued. If she had landed her supplies the Montenegrins would have been able to hold out more effectively"

The election is over and a majority of Arkansas Democrats seem to have written it, ''Brough, " for Governor.
 It appears on face of returns that Smith will crowd Hodges close for the second man" in the race and the official count will probably be necessary to determine this.
 The Monroe county vote was unusually slow in getting in and last night. eleven of the largest townships out of IF, plurality 223 for Brough was registered. The official count will probably give Brough $50 plurality over Smith and Hodges who are not separated far in second place

FARM CLEARS OVER S14,OOO A Wonderful Record for Farm Profits by One
 Farm in Brinkley
 Territory

From time to time 1 have
 written of the wonderful oppor- < tunities for profitable farming H on the cheap lands in the Brink 4 ley territory.
 So wonderful are these oppor- T tunities that 1 can not see for the 5 life of me why it is that the q thousands of acres of available A and vacant lands around Brink \ ley are not snapped up by those who are desirous of seeing their money produce big results.
 As an example of what 1 have been writing, my attention is | called particularly to one of the s many big money making farms 8 near Brinkley that have given big 8 returns during the past year, i. e. The Hunter Land & Rice Co.,, ranch owned by a bunch of Iowa capitalists and managed by our clever farmer friend, Walter s Dickson, a former Brinkley mer- chant. MT. Dickson was in Tues day buying from ARGUS adver- tisers and when 1 asked him what the ranch done in business way on the 1915 crop he said: Il cant say just exactly how much clear money we made be- cause we built out of the pro-
 ceeds of our 1915 crop, big 30x100 foot grainary, a new bunk house for ranch employees,
 cleaned out and dug new canals,
 and many other Improvements
 on the ranch. After making these improvements, we cleared S14, 900 out of the 1915 crop" Think of this-it is so wonder full that our own business men and people do not begin to
 realize what it means. Just to think of ONE farm doing this. Think of each acre of ground :: producing a net profit of 50 per cent more than the actual first cost of the land. Think of the thousands upon thousands of acres of land adjacent to Brink ley that can be brought for from S10 to $30 per acre and able to produce a first year crop :: of $40 to $70 per acre.
 It is no wonder that so many Iowa capitalists have found it inviting to invest their money in our lands. This particular ranch is owned by a company composed of Alex Lendrum, President (Helena, Ark.) A. G. Gardner, Vice-Pres; Alex Eitz- hugh, Sec'y and Treas; Milo Ward. Fred Hunter, E. G. and A. G. Lynn. stockholders, all : being prominent Des Moines Iowa) business men except : the President.
 The ARGUS is glad to see the 1. Iowa people come here and in- 7 vest their cash and gladder still
 to see and know that they are
 getting such big cash returns
 on their investment.
 One of the leading Iowa capi-
 talists who has thousands of
 dollars invested in lands out on
 the prarie. and who comes down
 once or twice a year to look
 after it said this to me recently
 Folsom, you people have the
 most wonderful country on
 earth and if you but had rock
 roads you would soon come into your own and hundreds of
 northern farmers would flock in
 here to buy and rent your lands,
 but as it is. you need never ex- pect people to move in here.
 Build roads out of Brinkley and I'll move down myself and live in Brinkley at your splendid hotel the best part of the year. Without roads we stay away as
 much as we can for it is too
 great punishment to try to get out of Brinkley on such roads as your farmers seem content to put up with"

 They have secured, without Mir. Hughes aid, the election of senators by the people, thus putting the Senate in touch with the voters. They have won, in spite of Mir.
