OUR FIRST CAR OF
 SWEET POTATOES
SHIPPED TO TOPEKA, KAN, COM MISSION BROKER LAST sATUR-
 DAY AND ALREADY SOLD.
BY MABELYALE GROWERS
Shipment of 51a Bushels Brought From 85 Gents to $1 a BusheI
 in Northern Market.

The wisdom of systematic and CO operative marketing has just been demonstrated by the sweet potato growers of Mabelvale.
 Last Saturday the MabelvaIe branch of the Arkansas Sweet Pota- to Growers League shipped the first carload of graded sweet potatoes that ever went from Pulaski county. There were about 25 growers interested, among the leaders being A w Mill ing and MT. Coulter The shipment consisted of 513 bushels, carefully graded, and packed in uniform bushel crates. The pack was especially fine, and the grades superior
 The shipment was consigned to a commission house at Topeka, Kan, and reports have been received by wire that the entire lot had been closed out by Thursday at prices ranging from S5 cents to S1 bushel It is thought the sales will net the growers oo cents a bushel.
 The potatoes were graded by Green Nordin, state sales agent for the League, according to the grades estab- lished last December by Chas. c. Dor Ian, inspector of the U. s. Marketing Bureau.
 The growers are gratified by the re- suits of their first venture, and fur ther shipments are to be made soon. It is estimated that there IS still 10000 bushels of sweet potatoes in the vic1n- ity of Mabelvale, in excess of the amount to be retained for local con sumption. There is also about 5000 bushels in the Landmark vicinity, be- sides smaller amounts in other com munities. The acreage will be great ly increased during the coming season.
 The Mabelvale growers have decid- ed to ship seven more carloads of sweet potatoes as soon as they can be placed.

CONTEST OVER THE
 LEDWIDGE TEACHERS
Controversy Over Boards of Directors
 Taken Into Chancery Court.

The controversy over the appoint ment of a teacher for the Ledwidge special school district has been taken into Chancery Court. J. M. Patterson, one of the directors, filed a suit for restraining order to prevent the ap- pointment of Miss Ada Bradford as teacher and to restrain the treasurers of Pulaski and Perry counties from paying her money from the school funds.
 MT. Patterson alleges that three di- rectors were elected in 1915, and one moved away. The district lies in both Pulaski and Perry counties, and two directors were appointed by the County Court in each county, making six.
 The complaint says the law pro- vides for but three directors, and on this ground previous appointment of Miss Bradford is alleged to be illegal. The plaintiff says that Miss Brad ford's contract was ordered annulled by the Perry Chancery Court on January 31, but that notices have been sent out saying that another meeting would be held February 19, and that if not restrained the direc- tors would reappoint Miss Bradford.

James M. Drake Seeks "BIanket Li-
 cense" for All the Concessions.

A petition was submitted to the City Council Monday night by James NJ. Drake for a blanket license covering all the amusements to be given at Forest Park during the coming sum- mer. This is the arrangement he had with the old Pulaski Heights council, paying license of $150 for the year. The petition was referred to the Ways and Means Committee and the aldermen of the Ninth ward.
 MT. Drake has practically complet- ed arrangements for operating the park this summer, and will open about April 15 if he can secure the blanket license" He will operate it primarily as a children's park. He says:
 "Fraternal pienics and barbecues will be catered to and private picnic parties will be encouraged. No ad- mission will be charged at the gate. The variety of concessions probably would not be great under my manage ment, but I would introduce several new things. Sunday band concerts and weekday racing and baseball would be among them Tennis courts would be opened for the use of those who do not have access to a court have negotiations pending with Mel ville's Comedians to play at the park theater during the summer, starting the opening week."
