DEATH OF BEN MILLER.

We wish to thank our many friends for the kindness shown us through the illness of our dear son and broth CT. He had been in bad health since last July, but had been confined to his bed only one week and on March 23 the angels called him home to rest
 He was a good, honest boy, loved by all who knew him. He was a kind and loving son and brother He was in the bloom of life, being IS years, five months and F days old. He was born and raised near Greenbrier, Ar kansas. He leaves a dear mother, five sisters, four brothers to mourn his loss. Do not weep for this loved one that has gone before, for he is in a better world than we and we must live so as to meet him on the golden shore. A Friend.

TO ASK GOVERNOR
 HAYS 10 TESTIFY IN PEN INVESTIGATION HEARING OF BRADSHER AND FERGUSON MAY UNTIL
 NEXT FRIDAY.

Little Rock, April 19.-The inves- tigation of charges brought by Gov. Hays against J. A. Bradsher and J. w. Ferguson of the penitentiary com mission, continues to drag it sweary hours aolng in the governors recep- tion room, before an audience smaller than when it opened on Monday. It is probable that it will not be conclud- ed before Thursday or Friday. There has been much evidence of a more or less sensational character, a great deal of it to the uninitiated having little bearing on the case in hand. Capt. R. R. Rice of Warner, from land, was one of the most prominent witnesses Tuesday afternoon, testify ing for the commissioners and show ing the large amount of work they have done. Concerning Warden Bai- ley, one of the penitentiary employees, he testified that he was really too hu- mane and too indulgent with the con victs, and that he did not treat them brutally.
 Much interest was attached to the statement that the commissioners will put the governor on the stand as material witness in their behalf. This will present the unique feature of the judge in the proceedings giving testimony as a witness for his own consideration in arriving at a yer dict.
 Since the governor, however, does not deny that he has already made up

BULLDOGS CHEW
 ARKANSAS LAMBS
BUT MUTTON IS TOUCH
HENDRIX TEAM OVERCOMES BIG LEAD AND WINS OUT
 IN EIGHTH.

Jimmie Wahl, pitching for Hen drix, led the Arkansas College Lambs to a slaughter, 6 to 5, in one of the most spectacular contests ever seen on Russell field.
 One bad inning, the third, got the Bulldog sniper into a precarious con- dition. He had allowed but one hit up to that time. In this inning Jimmie's life was made an agonizing adventure. Swift, first up, singled Peck Robertson advanced him a peg on a dinky hit to right. Tooter Warner singled to left, and both run ners got base nearer home. Swift Icavorted home on Laney's error, Robertson and Warner advancing a notch. Wahl grooved one to James Alexander's liking and the diminu- tive third-sacker cracked the pill over left field fence for homer, clearing the bases
 Immediately following this circuit smash, the Bulldog hurler was un- nerved. He tossed four wide ones to Rhodes. The next two, however, fell victims to WahPs curves, and the third popped out to Mccormack.
 The visiting delegation annexed a marker in the fifth, after two were out. Sims scratched single to short and reached second on a passed ball. Wilkerson busted the fence in left for double, scoring Simms.
 Purviance, a tall spit-ball artist, was sent in to do mound duty for the Lambs. He had plenty of stuff to keep our boys guessing for while, but the locals found him in the pinch es. It was the fourth inning when Hendrix made her first counters, with the score to 0 against her. To start this frame Killian went out, second to first. Lee Culpepper sin gled to left and stole second. Myers was hit. Mccormack rolled one to right field, Culpepper scoring and Myers taking third Man sacrificed, Myers tallying.
 Tommie Johnson scored in the fifth. He singled to left and pilfered second. Culpepper hit a long one to right for two bases, Johnston cavort- ing across the pan Culpepper got out on third trying to stretch the hit.
 The winning runs came in the eighth round. Hendrix came to bat with the count to 3 for Arkansas. Killian singled and swiped second. Culpepper singled, advancing Killian to third. Pussy Foot" Myers came up. Purviance shot one right down the groove, and Myers connected squarely. The ball sealed the fence in left-center field, bringing in three runs and winning ball game.
 The visitors did not threaten to score in the ninth and the game was history
 Lee Culpepper was the particular lilluminary of the day. The Fordyce lad secured three hits out of three times at bat, stole three bases, tai lied twice and made the most spec tacular catch of the season. The same teams are playing this afternoon The Lambs ylay the Nor nal tomorrow and Friday afternoon. Score R H E Hendrix .. ..0O021 *-6 8 3 Arkansas .. 4010000-5 '

his mind, ana that he has decided up on the dismissal of the men, there is much speculation as to the steps the commissioners will take to review his actions. It has been suggested that he may have recourse through injunc- tion against the governor, or quo warranto against whenever he may as their successors, to be brought in chancery court.

Planting and Cultivating Corn.

The primary factors in the pro-
duction of large yields of corn
are good seed, good soil, fertili-
cation and proper cultivation.
Good seed means seed that has
been properly selected for yield
and quality of grain; that will
produce strong young plants and
that are of variety suited to the
son and climate of the commune
ty in which the corn is to be
grown.
Good soil means soil that not
only has available plant food suf-
ficient to make a good crop, but
it implies proper preparation.

The nominating contest for pa
rochial offices in Grant parish
was a remarkably close one. The
winners in the race for the three
principal offices in the parish all
landed by a very small majority.
The race was so close that the
change of one or two score of
votes to the losers would have
reversed the result in all three
cases. Considering the fact that
about 1900 votes were polled, this
was remarkable. While the VIC
tors may have good cause for re-
joicing, the vanquished have no
cause to be ashamed of the sup
port they received. All pique,
jealousy and crouch should now
be buried, and the 1900 Demo-
Gratis of Grant parish should be
prepared to march to the polls
on April 18 and cast a solid vote
for Pleasant, Wilson and peace,
and against Parker, Roosevelt
and war.

Sunday School Work to the Front.

Sunday School Work to the Front.
Shreveport church and Sunday
school folks are all enthusiasm
and determination these days as
they plan for the entertaining of
the Both annual State Sunday
School Convention, which con-
venes in that city April 4-6. 1916.
All meetings of the convention
will be open to the public. Pa
rents are particularly invited, for
the adult division is attracting
more and more attention in Sun
day school work every year.
The annual Sunday school pa
rade is one of the big features
that impresses upon the citizens
of the community the fact that
the Sunday school is becoming
the one great institution of the
country to which men are turn
ing with the realization that it
offers to them the best opportun-
nifty for investing their lives for
service to all humanity
The fifty-two organizations,
embracing all the parishes in
Louisiana, will send official dele
gates and the local committees at
Shreveport are expecting to care
for not less than five hundred
out of town visitors, all of whom
will be entertained in the homes
of Shreveport.
Shreveport is planning for q
big convention. The railroads
have granted a rate of a fare and
a third, and in addition Shreve-
port will run special excursions
from the nearby towns.

Generally, sandy loans, well
drained, with plenty of vegetable
matter are best suited to corn.
Stiff bottom lands are less uni
formly suited. Adaptability of
this type of soil may be ascertain
ed locally. A soil with an abun-
dance of vegetable matter will be
less injured by either excessively
wet or dry weather.
Where it is possible to secure
stable manure, we'll decomposed,
it is the best fertilizer that can
be used. 1t should be applied
broadcast and turned under. The
amount that can be used to ad-
vantage depends upon how well
it is rotted. Six to eight wagon
loads per acre should make ex-
cellent yields. Too much fresh
manure may do damage if dry
weather prevails in June and
July.
Proper cultivation is very i'm
portant. If the soil has been
well prepared, surface cultiva-
ton not deeper than two inches
is all that is required. Any i'm
plement that will keep the sur
face broken will suffice, cost OF
use properly considered. Occa-
sionally a soil will run together
during excessively wet weather
and become packed, and it will
be necessary to off-bar young
corn and return the soil to secure
filth. Otherwise a plow has nc
place in the cultivation of the
crop. w. R. Dodson. Director OF
Experiment Stations, L. S. U.
