SHORT COURSE IN
 POWER FARMING Demonstration in St. Louis Of Power Farming
 Machinery.

Not until this year have the National Tractor Farming demon strations been held in the Miss issippi Valley. Heretofore these demonstrations have been con- fined to the larger farms of the states farther west, and as a re- suit a great number of farmers of the Central West have never had an opportunity of seeing the various tractors in actual opera tion, under conditions which fit the farms of within 200 or 300 miles of St. Louis.
 The Implement, Vehicle and HardWareAssociation of St. Louis were fortunate in being able to interest the management of the National Tractor Farming Dem- onstrations in the rich opportun- ity to educate farm owners in the luse of small farm tractors at this time, and on July 31-August 4, inclusive, the greatest exhibit of these machines will be held inst. Louis county, upon 2, 900 acres of land within 30 minutes ride of Union Station.
 This years demonstration of mankind's modern, twentieth century, powerful horseless me- chanical farm machines will be by far the most varied of any ev- CT held anywhere in the world. It will have features of excellence which will far excel those of any demonstration of the past. AL ready 45 manufacturers of small farm tractors, as we'll as 10 mak- CTS of automatic power blows, have entered their machines and signed agreements to exhibit at St. Louis. These entries do not include the exhibits of power farming machinery, accessories, etc., which in themselves will number more than 50 firms in ad- dition to the others.
 These demonstrations, covering a period of five days, will be ab- solutely free to all who are inter- ested in the use of small farm tractors for blowing, narrowing, seeding, harvesting, road work, belt driving of machinery, and hauling of crops to market. Far mers, dealers, contractors, road builders, owners of farms, and in fact everybody, are invited to be the guests of the Implement, Vehicle & Hardware Association, and the National Tractor Msnu- lecturers Association, on July 3l- Aug. 4, and see for themselves how the cost of farming is to be reduced by the use of modern machinery.

TEXT OF PROPOSED NEW PRIMARY LAW Main Points of New Law Which Is Being
 Initiated.

Petitions seeking to initiate new primary election law have been placed in circulation by for mer Congressman s. Brundidge, of Searcy, and other members of the Committee appointed by the last democratic state convention to draft the measure. AS soon as the requisite number of signi- lures, which is in the neighbor- hood of 5000, are obtained, the petition, together with a text of the proposed law, will be filed with the secretary of state, and by that official certified to the various county election boards. The proposed measure provides that all organized political par ties selecting their candidates for office through primary election shall be subject to the law, ex- cept in cases of vacancies men, toned in the act, and each party shall pay the expenses of it's own primary election, and provides that all counties, district and state primaries shall be held on the same day. The bill provides that the primaries shall be held on the last Tuesday in May proceeding the general election, but special primary elections may be called to fill vacancies. Each political party holding a primary election shall, on the first Monday after the primary, hold a county con- vention composed of the dele gates elected at such primary e. lection in each township and
 ward. The county convention shall declare the result of the primary election and select delegates to all conventions. No candidate for office, or office holder, or deputy of any office holder shall be eli gible to membership on the coun- ty central committee, or as a del
 egate to county or district con- ventions, or as judge or clerk of any primary election.
 The judges and clerks shall be- gin the counting of the ballots immediately upon the close of the polls, and continue the same to completion, except in cases of sickness, when the remaining judges or clerks shall continue the count. The act provides that each ballot shall be signed by the voter, and if the voter is unable to suscribe his name, the name shall be signed by one of the judges and attested by all the other judges. The proposed act is IS sections in length and throws every possible safe guard around the ballot, and makes punish ment of fraud almost certain. Violations are punishable by fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, and by imprisonment
 in the county Jail for not less than 30 days, nor more than 12 months. The following are deem- ed misdemeanors for a violation
 of the act:
 Knowingly cast a vote when the voter is not a qualified elect
 or as provided herein.
 Knowingly receive vote when
 the voter is not qualified elect
 or as herein provided.
 Casting vote in primary of a party to which the voter does
 not adhere or affiliate: this does
 not apply to any one in good 1 faith abandoning previous politi-
 cal affiliations.
 Il The wrongful and fraudulent
 certification of any vote or re-
 turn.

"Real" Blockade
This Country Cannot Recog-
nize Stopping of Part of
Teuton's Trade.

The United States will not recognize
the proposed new blockade of Germany
by Great Britain unless it is made alb
solutely effective.
To be legal in the eyes OF the United
States, such a blockade must not only
girdle the shores of Germany on the
North Sea. but must extend across this
body of water between the Scandinavian
countries and Germany.
A statement of this fact was obtained
last night from highest official sources
in the American State Department The
stand which this country will take, it
was declared, it will be able to set forth
succinctly The United States will in
slst that the blockade, to be effectivs,
must operate against trade between all
neutral countries and Germany; and that
It will not so operate unless Norway
Sweden and Denmark are as effectively
shut OF from commercial intercourse
with Germany as the United States. Hol-
land and other neutral countries.
In German embassy circles, it is de-
clared that IL Great Britain attempts
to penetrate the Baltic for the purpose
Of establishing a blockade, she will have
