mending methods of recovering

and shrubs which produce seeds
or fruits relished by the birds,
and by exposing food in artificial
devices.

The best time of seeding alfalfa
for the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Ken
lucky is about the middle of Au-
gust, and for southern New Jer-
sey, southern Marylend, Della
ware, Virginia. Arkansas, Ten
nessee, and the gulf states from
the middle of August to the mid
die Of October, depending upon
the latitude. The sowing should
always be done sufficiently early

of the plants before winter sets
in.

the way for more modern ways
of life enjoyed at present.

habit of feeding hungry constituency on
just such demagogery and they should not

WATER LIGHTS STREETS
Editor Journal,

Editor Journal,
Sir: By invitation of His Honor, Mayor
Ogbourne, was present at a meeting of
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen of the
village Of Tallulah last Tuesday night.
The principal matter discussed was the
advisability of submitting to vote of the
taxpayers Of Tallulah bond issue for an
amount sufficient to:
l. Retire the existing bonds, not yet due
(which, in amount are 81, 10000 the entire
issue was 100000, of which SIS, 500. 90 has
been paid and retired.)
2. The betterment and extension of the
water and light plant.
3. The grading and surfacing with gravel
of the principal business streets of the town.
The unanimous opinion of the Board
and those present by invitation seemed to
favor such bond issue, and the Mayor was
authorized to employ the necessary expert
examination and opinion as to the probable
cost of the last two items so that complete,
concrete statement and proposition could be
placed before the taxpayers.
1t may be early to say anything about
this matter until We have placed before us
the statement of probable cost of the de-
sired Improvements and amount of bond
issue necessary, but l want to 60 on record,
and | believe | am among the large tax-pay-
ers of Tallulah, as unhesitatingly voicing my
approval of the plan.
| favor it in toto, and when we have
the full details before US l am going to urge
every taxpayer in the town to vote for this
bond issue which means better water and
light service and modern hard-surfaced
streets instead of those we have now.
Respectfully, JEFF B. SNYDER.

The State Board of Affairs has investi-
gated assessment far enough to discover
ninety millions dollars of property that has
been escaping taxes. 1t is to be hoped that
the placing sof this and other property yet
uncovered on the rolls may. results in tighten
ing the burdens of some Of the tax payers
who have been discovered since 1892. We
hope that the board will find enough such
property to make unnecessary any material
raise in the present valuation for state pur-
poses. We are not so sanguine as to hope
for reduction, but will be satisfied if we
escape raise.

Jeff B. Snyder in connection with bond
issue to improve
BONDS FOR TOWN the municipal
water and light
plant and the
principal streets of Tallulah. AS stated by
Mr.. Snyder the first matter to be considered
by the council is the probable COST If these
improvements are within the means of the
village the project should by all means be
supported by the voters. Mr.. Snyder has set
an example by giving expression to his view
on the subject and the Journal calls upon
each and every citizen to do likewise.
If the people of the town want modern
improvements they must expect to tax them
selves to accomplish the end. Nothing better
advertises town and nothing adds more to
the comfort of it's citizens and its guests
than good streets.

m Ike and that is that the work proposed be
thorough and permanent. This we feel the
town authorizes will make certain. The

There is disposition on the part of the
leaders;of the great national parties to unite

There is a disposition on the part of the
leaders,of the great national parties to unite
in the organization of
HARMONIZING the next congress and
IN CONGRESS to thwart the move of
the five independent
members to control the election of officers
for the next two years. The most rabid
party man will be glad to see such plan
succeed At time like this it would indeed
be unfortunate for handful of accidental
insists to dictate the makeup of the next
congress.
1t is proposed that thedemocratic and
republican leaders agree on the speaker of
the house and that the committees be made
up of an equal number of members of the
two parties. Our foreign complications de-
mand that partizan politics be cast aside-for
awhile at least-and that the members OF
both parties bring forward their best efforts
in order to cope with the complex problems
that confront the nation. And it may prove
a good plan to extend for all time the re-
ciprocal good feeling that such a compro-
mise would work in the present crisis The
merging, if not the obliteration, of many
issues that have heretofore marked the poll
cies of the opposing faction leaves no real
excuse for fractional politics in Congress.
Hence the public at large has but little to
lose in the harmonizing of differences in
connection with the organization Of the next
Congress. Any scheme that will keep in
the back ground the socialists and faddists
in the house will be warmly welcomed.
