CARPENTER OPPOSES
FLOUR Law CHANGE

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-Flour
millers and manufacturers of corn
products are joining issues in what
promises to be an animated contro-
versy over the repeal of 1.-The mixed
flour law
The manufacturers of products made
from corn take the position that this
law should be repealed. Wheat flour
millers. on the other hand, declare that
to repeal the mixed flour law would in
vite a repetition of the conditions that
existed prior to 1898, when the mixed
flour law was passed, and the wheat
flour millers are a unit against the
repeal or modification of the law.
Charles Carpenter declared today his
firm was in sympathy with the flour
millers who do not see the advisability

THE IDEAL ARKANSAS
 WOMAN BEING SOUGHT
When Brandon Finds Her, He'll Grown Her the Beauty Queen of the
 U. s. e. V.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Going forth to search for a queen is not modern custom, being associated only with the fairy tales of youth, yet that is exactly what w. N. Brandon of Little Rock, commander-in-chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is preparing to do. He will journey over Arkan- sas in the near future in search for an ideal Arkansas woman who will be the queen of the Sons at the re- union of Confederates at Birmingham.
 It is the desire of Commander Brandon to bestow upon some Arkan sas young woman the highest honor that can be extended by the Sons, the appointment as sponscr-in-chier for this organization. Commander Bran don states that he knows Arkansas has the most gracious, most vivacious and the most beautiful women. and any of them would suitably fill the appointment, but he wishes one who will simply dazzle the myriads of Southerners who will attend the Birmingham reuniOn..a t s.s. }.
 Commander Brandon; is arranging tour of the state, accompanied by members of his staff, with meetings of the Sons in the towns visited. The Sons will be instructed to invite the. Daughters to, attend these meetings, for Commander Brandon does not wish to miss an opportunity of select ing the one most suited for the place through her not becoming known to him.
 In this tour of the state, Comman- der Brandon hopes to organize quite a few new camps of Sons, as we'll as revive many of the sleeping ones, and interest in the work of the Sons, and installing life into them, will be one of. the chief factors to be con- sidered in the appointment of the sponsor. This is expected to cause a revival of interest in thi swork of the Sons, by the Daughters.

REST THE LAND.

A change from cotton to food and feed crops should be made this year fer the lands sake, if not for tn. managers present needs, says Farm and Ranch. Land cultivated in cot ten for many years will need |, change. Even when corn has follow ed cotton and cotton grown after corn, good farming will require a rotation in which one or more lcgumes have place. The fertility of the soil may lsequire legumes, and if very poor, perhaps manure or fertilizer to make good yield this year.
 The fertility of the soil will be the source of the farmers capital. If the lend is impoverished the manager will be forced to get capital else- where. If the fertility of the soil Is increased there will be larger crops aild more capital. 4
 Cotton is veIT exacting upon soil fertility. While it does not take as much nitrogen, potassium, phospha'e and lime from the soil, especially if the cotton seed I cal is fed and the manure returned, as some other crops, the manner of cultivation causes an enormous loss of plant food. The crop must have clean cul- tnre, leaving the fields exposed to the burning rays of the sun and per- haps to the washing rains. Little can be done to increase the humus in the soil. It is not an easy matter to arrange a suitable rotation where cotton is to be grown two Or three years in four of five year rotation. Yet it can be done.
 Good farm practice will require ttat 2 large portion of the land be p1SAted to other crops this year, There are many crops that can be selected to take the place of cotton. When provision is made for feed, food and fertility the rest of the farm may be planted in cotton for a money crop. But there are many difficulties to meet before the crop is converted irto money.
 The safest plant is to arrange the rotation with special reference to taking care of the land. It is to be your dependence not alone for this year but for as many years as you and your posterity live on the farm. A rotation that will begin to build up the soil and maintain you and youi animals while this is being done will be advisable.

CONGRESSIONAL DRAWBACK.

 Most of the congressman in the 64th congress were elected on dead issues. Those of them elected q year ago come the closest to being on the jcbs as the result ot late political de- ve.opments; yet not single one Of them was elected because of h.s standing on questions affec,.ny the 64th congress.
 At that time the European war had not yet begun. There was To pre- paredness agitation and other issues that follow were likewise lacking.
 In the meantime there was a short session of congress at which "same ducks" another name for absolutely irresponsible congressm,a because they were to lose their seats at the end of the session, aided ;n tho legis- lation,
 Nineteen months be.waen the cleo tion of congressman ana the time they take their seats! And Ill the meantime a vast change of issues:
 This is a system that saou'd be im- proved at an early day. There Is no reason for the long de'sy It re- tards responsive legislation; 1t means that congressmen yo.e cr big new issues without an opinion from their constituents.
 Not a single congressman has been elected because of his stand fer or against preparedness, yet they've ali got to vote on the question as they are influenced personally a1l as they believe-withou actually knowing what the majority of their constitu- ents want.

SUN WARNS HOUSE
 THE COLD WINTER DAYS

Bottled Sunshine" is what Alber- !ta Barnes, a local machinist and a genius, calls his new invention-a oaloric contrivance which he uses to heat his house in winter and to do the washing, ironing and all other household tasks requiring stored force.
 On the hottest days Tn summer MT. Barnes catches the rays of the sun at the focus of a bright tin roof on his house and conveys the heat to his barn, which he has remodeled into an immense model of a fireless cooker box. In this building great squares of artificial stoneare placed and the heat is stored within these big disks. These are closely packed inside bales of pressed straw. The stones hold more than 100000 calories of heat, sufficient to heat his house all winter and to supply all needed extra heat. Mir. Barnes claims that it took only ten days last summer to charge his
 hot storage plant: The idea for the
 contrivance originated with MT.
 Barnes when he was trying to paint
 the roof of his. house on a hot day.
 Finding such great heat on the tin
 he was curious to know if food could
 be cooked there, and taking a beef
 steak to the roof he left it. After
 wait of an hour he crawled to the
 top of the house and found the steak
 cooked to a crisp. This incident, gave
 him the idea of his storage plant.
 Hundreds of visitors are viewing the dish-shaped roof, the hothouse and heating system at the home of MT. Barnes, who says that as ther is no meter on the sun he does not expect to pay a cent for heat the re- mainder of his life.-Nome Nugget.
