Bailey near his residence on Independence street, be- tween Clifton and Davis streets. Mir. Bailey had been missing small quanti- t,es of feedstutr from the barn from lne to time recently, and it is his opinion that the thief struck a match while in the barn and set fire to it.

 Bailey had barely sufficient time to remove his livestock to place of safety and the barn and it's contents were a total loss, without insurance.

Iais is proof of the fact that our people are taking advantage of the best methods known to modern agricul- turo.
 "Modern methods in agrieul,are have been given a great boom Fol- lowing the advice of the agriculural experts. farmers have selected their seed corn and wherever necessary tested before planting. The Jest methods for cultivation Were ioI lowed with the result that SSlNa acres of corn under the direction of the county agents gave an average yield of l2.82 bushels per acre more than where ordinary methods wer- used"

There is pending in the general assembly a bin to cause the news papers to bid for the right to adver- tise measures submitted to the voters under the initiative and referendum. On the face of it, this bill sounds like panacea of all advertising ills.
 While the bill may save to the voters of Arkansas considerable mon ey in advertising, it will probably cost several times as much in sense less legislation. Newspaper men have not been consulted upon the measure, or they would have pointed out the weaknesses thereon.
 Under this bill it is possible for the newspapers in the rural commu- nifty of a county to underbid the paper with the circulation in the county. The successful bidder may have only a hundred or so subscrib- CTS, while the larger paper will have several thousand The bid of the small paper, with the circulations compared, will make the small paper advertising cost many times what 1t would in the larger one, and still but few people in the county see 1t.

Every few days something hap pens in the Arkansas legislature to show there is no unanimous senti- ment for prohibition. There are sey- cal bills pending which tends to make the state bone dry, but so far they have not made much progress. One of these measures makes it unlawful for the newspapers of Arkansas, the owners of bill boards or street cars to advertise liquors of any character. When the bill was read in the senate m amendment was offered to include narcotics That is. the author stated he wanted to offer such an amend ment When the amendment was read it included coco cola, and all cafeineous drinks. This, had it been adopted would have included coffee, and had a bill passed to make it un- lawful to sell coffee in Arkansas, the effect would have been the same as the time when the legislature adopt a a law taxing dogs.
