If the recommendations CT w. A.
Bowman an engineer, employed to es-
innate the cost of draining the Vii
lage creek basin, are carried out, this
county will probably have a drainage
system that in magnitude will eclipse
anything in this section.
Mr.. Bowman was employed to esti-
mate the cost of a drainage district
improvement plan to include the Vii
lage creek watershed from the Law
renee county line to the Newport lake,
a distance of more than % miles, and
including 125,000 acres of fine farm
ing land, some of which is unim-
proved. Nearly all residents of the
proposed district are white. 1t would
embrace a region in which more than
so per cent of the farmers own their
own land. When the low lands, all of
which are above overflow from the
river, are opened for cultivation and
good drainage secured for the roads a
system of sand and clay roads will be
built
The drainage work will cost only
$1.50 per acre, according to the eng1,
neer's survey, but this, with the Ba-
you De View district work and other
improvements in this section. will call
for the expenditure of more than $780,
900 during the next two years.

Another investigation of the moon.

ANOTHER VOTE ON
RECALL PROBABLE
THERE is STRONG SENTIMENT
THROUGHOUT ARKANSAS
FOR PROPOSITION.
FAVORED BY LEGISLATORS
Many Senators and Representatives
Are Openly Advocating Recall
Investigations Have Caused
Change in Opinion.
Little Rock

Little Rock
Developments of the past year in
Arkansas, especially in the matter OF
pardons, have caused a strong sentt-
ment throughout the state in favor OF
the recall, and it is practically set
tied that the next Legislature will
adopt a resolution submitting the
question to the voters of the state at
the election to be held in 1918. A
number of senators and representa-
tives who will occupy seats in the next
Legislature are openly advocating the
recall, and from present indications
number of resolutions will be pre-
sented seeking to submit the question
Six years ago the Legislature, by a
large majority, adopted the recall
resolution, which was approved by
Gov. Donaghey.
AT the general election which fol-
lowed tho meeting of that Legislature
the measure was adopted by the peo-
pie, but il failed to receive major
ity of all the votes cast on that ques
ton, and It WAS knocked out by the
Supreme Court, the court holding that
in order to adopt an amendment to
the state constitution the proposed
amendment must receive a majority
of all the votes cast at that election
and not on that particular subject.
The court also held that the PROPOSE
ton was defeated because there were
more than three amendments to the
constitution submitted at that cleo
ton. great change has taken place
among the people since that time, due
principally to the Investigations con-
Quoted by the joint legislative com
mittee during the last session of the
General Assembly. If the matter is
submitted, unless a great change in
sentiment takes place, it will I'M
doubtedly be made apart of the Ar
kansas constitution, many of its adyo'
Gates believe. The only contest would
be the question of Incorporating the
judiciary in the proposition. Many of
the advocates of the recall believe
that it should not apply to the judi
ciary.

Declare Law Is Evaded.

The next legislature will be asked
to amend the law governing payment
of employees by corporations to include
individuals, to prevent evading the
law by leasing work to individuals
according to Commissioner of Labor
]. C. Clary. Mr.. Clary says he mas
received numerous complaints from
employees of lumber companies saying
the law is violated in this way. Other
employees complain that the law re
quiring payment in cash is violated. A
lumber company employee wrote to Mr.
Clary that he is forced to accept or
ders on the company's commissary In
payment for work and that the prices
charged for supplies are &c per cent
higher than at other stores.

washington. - Construction OF
yrsat government laboratory for de-
yeiopment of submarines, aeroplahes
ond other war equipment was adVo-
oa,od before the House naval commit
tee bv Thomas A Edison ana other
members of the civilian naval aoVls-
orv board. Mr. Edison SAID prop
erly equipped establishment costing
81 500. 900 would make possible expef-
lnents for standardization OF supma-
ine parts, for instance, which might
ras,t in enabling builders to turn
ant a submarine in a week instead OF
The many months now required.
The other members of the board
who appeared were Howard 4. CONN.,
w /. Saunders, A M. Hunt and Dr.
[. II. Baekeland. DR.. Baekeland, VINO
was appointed to the board on recon-
incubation of the American Chemical
Society, said one of the most lmpof-
rant advantages of laboratory would
be that of supplying adequate means
for fixation Of atmospheric nitrogen
for use in making explosives. Inc
processes used by German chemists,
be said, were well known in this
country, yet proper steps had not
been taken to relieve the United
States from It's dependence on Chile
for It's nitrate supply.
n
tee a canvass the board is making OF
the country's industrial resources and
how they might be modified for de-
tense. He said report probably
would be ready by May Mr.. Saun-
ders urged that the advisory board be
legaIized, and Mr. Hunt, civil engi-
neer, read statement emphasizing
the advantages of laboratory from
an engineering standpoint.
The scientists declared that an OK
perimental plant financed by the gov
eminent and backed by the best sci
entifie skill of the country would be
valuable not alone as prepared cess
measure, but would make possible
many steps forward in industrial de-
velopment. One suggested that great
things might be accomplished in per-
fecting the aeroplane, and another
said proper application OF science TO
shipping might reYolutionize the per
chant marine. -
1t was urged that the proposed lab.
orstory be under administration of
the Navy Department, though 1t
might concern itself with many things
aside from naval equipment.
Secretary Daniels. number of rear
admirals, other officers and some in
ventors formed an interested group
that heard Mr.. Edison.
