SIX MONTHS BE RE.
 CURED IN TRAINING
Senator Nelson From Minnesota Urgently Appealed for Stand
 ing Army of Two Hundred Thousand Men for Long Time.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Six months intensive training at least would be required to fit the national guard or the proposed continental army for ser vice as first line troops, General Mills, chief of the division of military affairs in the war department, told the house military committee. The general de- tended the continental plan and denied the war department had any antipa- thy to the national guard.
 Other witnesses today included Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, who told the senate committee the country should have standing army of 100000 in peace times, so organized as to form the skeleton of an army that could be recruited to total 394,- 900 in war.
 Senator Knute Nelson of Minneso- ta, Civil war veteran, appeared be- fore the senate committee in advoca- cy of a standing army of 100000. Gen. eral Miles was questioned by every member of the house committee.
 The witness insisted that the war department had no antipathy to the national guard as such and gladly would begin building on that basis if the legal obstacles in the way could be removed. General Miles declared the enactment of the continental army scheme would not destroy the national guard.
 Senator Nelson, in proposing a standing army of 100000, said, enlist ment should be for five years, one with the colors and the other four ir reserve that would mean an army of a million trained men in five years, he added.

S|IpREME COURT AL
 LOWS ONLY 6 MONTHS
Question Definitely Settled Yes terday When Court Refused
 to Accept Appeal from Chick asawba District Mississippi Co

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-Only six months are now allowed for appeals to the Supreme Court. This was de- cided definitely yesterday, when the Court refused ar order on the clerk to accept the appeal in the case of J. " Stephens vs. Maud Williams, from Cbickasawba district of Mississippi county.
 The decree in the case was handed down Feb. 4, 1915. The prayer for appeal was presented Jan. 27, 1916. Originally the law gave three years. In 1899 it was reduced to one year, and in 1915 the Legislature passed an act. reducing it to six months, which became effective June II, 1915. The court holds that "it was evidently the purpose of the Legislature to give only six months within which to take an appeal and there is no reason to be- lieve from the language of the statute that the Legislature meant to give longer than after the passage of the statute, even in cases of decrees ren- dered prior to that time."

5000 Acres Purchased from D. B. Niven, Pine Rluff-Land is Near Tucker and Will be Used as Penal Farm for Whites.

Pine Bluff, Feb. ID. B. Niven of this city has sold to the State Board of Penitentiary Commissioners tract of about 5000 acres near Tucker, this county, to be used as penal farm for white convicts. Mr. Niven is one of the Democratic nominees for Repre- sentative of Jefferson county, and one of the most progressive citizens of the community. MT. Niven owned one thousand acres of the land in his own right, and some time ago mortgaged it for $16,000, to the Arkansas Grand Lodge of the A. O. U. w., for the pur- pose of securing funds with which to complete the Lake Side M. F.. Church, South. The building was only partial ly built, and there were no available means to complete it until MT. Niven hit upon this plan. Now the congre- gation has a church edifce that is val ued at $S5,000. Rev. Marion Waldrip is pastor.

PLAY SAFE ON SEED

How about the seed corn? How about the cotton seed? How about the clover? How about the beans and cowpeas and peanuts and garden seed? These are good questions for every good farmer to ask himself right now. Select double supply of good ears of corn for seed, cut off tips and butts and then shell when outdoor work can't be done and grade out the small grains and be ready. Then look up the cotton seed and test for germination. It will pay. Ask your county demonstration agent or your school teacher to help, but test. Then look up the garden seed supply you saved or should have saved last fall. Cooperate with your neighbors and buy garden seed in bulk, if you must buy, and don't buy the little packets. Don't forget to see about your supply of cowpeas, soy beans
 peanuts, rape, the clovers, sorghums, and even the watermelon, pumpkin and cantaloupe seed. A medal should be given to every farmer who can on the first day of March declare that he has on his place and all ready for planting every ounce of seed to be used during the spring and summer. That will be one kind of preparedness and it will mean success next October.
