VOTE FOR ACT NO. l.

When you go to the polls on Tues day vot for Act No. l, the primary election law. We now have in Arkan- sas no primary law of which the courts will take knowledge or under which they will enforce any rights. The Supreme Court has told us that at present the question of who is the nominee of a primary is a matter of party regulation and that the courts .cannot inquire into the regularity of such party action. Vote for Act No. because, with primaries put under the law, if a candidate had grounds for believing that he had fairly won nomination that was about to be giv- en to his opponent he3could go into the Circuit Court and begin a contest
 Vote for Act No. l because this bill has been drawn by a committee ap- pointed by the Democratic state con |vention, a committee composed of leading citizens of Arkansas, men who tical experience with politics. Vote for Mo- 1 because it has been drawn with the purpose of putting our pri- mary elections on better and surer foundation and with the purpose of making them the truest possible ex- pression of the popular will Vote for No. because we need laws to govern those primaries in which our officials, from governor and United States sen ator down, are virtually chosen.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERTS ADVISE THAT CORN BE
 HUSkED IN FIELD

Little Rock, Nov 6.-The agricul- tural experts are advising that corn be husked in the field in order to prevent to some extent the damage that is done by the corn weevil A bulletin issued by the Department says; The corn crop in Arkansas and throughout the United States is practically fail ure this year. Feed of all kinds will be high priced during the coming win ter. The farmers of the state can well afford to take care of what grain they have. The corn weevil will cost millions of dollars again this year un- less every precaution is taken to keep him out of the stored grain. One of the best ways to control the damage done by the weevil is to husk the corn in the field and thus 75 per cent of the weevils are left behind. Corn weevil will destroy enough corn each month after Nov. l to decrease the price about 5 cents per bushel. For the whole state this loss last year amount ed to about s3,0OO,OOO."

PULASKI WILL HAVE SALARY
 BILLS BEFORE LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, Nov. Ct is probable that Pulaski county will be one of the numerous counties that will have sal ary bills before the approaching ses- sion of the Legislature. One of the representatives has said that he pro- poses to introduce such a bill, and work for it's passage, and there are other counties that are expected to be heard from. In many counties of the state, the office of sheriff and collector pays as much as $15,000 year, and the people are beginning to resent this. There are many offices that pay as much as or more than the office of governor under the fee system. Sal ary bills are usually unpopular among the politicians, but the people want them.
