COMPULSORY SCHOOL
BILL BECOMES LAW

Senator Utley's compulsory
education measure, effective
September l, 1917, was passed
by the House of Representa-
tives Tuesday morning and is
ready for Governor Brough's
approval. Such a measure was
advocated by Governor Brough
in his inaugural message, and
he will approve the bill within
the next few days.
The bill is considered the
most far-reaching educational
measure passed by the 1917
legislature. 1t provides that all
children, physically and men
tally capable, must attend
school if between the ages of
seven and fifteen years, inclu-
sive. Children must attend
school during three-fourths of
the school year. In cases where
parents or guardians are unable
to purchase school books, the
respective school districts must
furnish them free.

GOOD PREPARATION
AID TO PRODUCTION
Supply of Foodstuff Short and
Farmers Urged to Grow
Plenty Food Products

Little Rock, Feb. Give
are now approaching the plant
| ing season and we should not
overlook the Importance of a
good seed bed. When the seed
of any plant sprouts, it sends
tender shoot upward to the
| top, to make the plant and
| tender root down to sustain the
plant. The soil should be loose
above and below the seed, so
the shoot above and the root
below can both find their way
and do their best to make a
strong vigorous plant in early
life. This requires a we'll brok-
en- and we'll pulverized soil.
The disk harrow should be US
ed, and all clods should be
broken up. A clod is a nuisance
in cultivating a crop and is of
no more value than a rock.
Break up the clods by frequent
narrowing, by rolling or by use
of a drag. When a good seed
bed is made and the ground
we'll pulverized before planting
the crop is easier to cultivate
the crop grows off better in
the early stages, and grows
better throughout the season.
The extra work in preparing a
good seed bed is more than
saved III the cultivation later
on. AS the ground is ploWed
manure should be gathered up
hauled out and spread on the
ground, and be disked or har-
rowed under. Do not let any OF
the manure on the place go to
waste, but use it all. If you
have manure to use, do not try
to make it go too far. Spread
it thick as far as it will go and
then stop. If the balance of
your land needs it use COM
mercial fertilizer. Try to make
some of your land as rich as a
garden spot. Follow this prae-
tice from year to year and you
will make good farm in the
course of time. On the land
that is real rich you can grow
a good crop of anything,
while on real poor land you
can make no profit on your
labor, and you would be better
off to let it lay out.
This is year for close farm
ing. The worlds supply of
foodstuff is so small that the
prices are very high. Nothing
but an extraordinary crop will
lower the prices. The only safe
way for the farmer is to raise

There is wide difference
of opinion between farmers
and politicians. In the meeting
of demonstration agents of the
state, few days ago, it was
unanimously agreed that pub

vance the cause of agriculture
and uplift the general interest
of the state than any other
agency, and the newspapers
were given vote of thanks.
Over on Capitol Hill where the

Should Let No Guilty
Man Escape

Every citizen who feels an
interest in the good name of
his state, and who is interested
in the moral and materialprog-
ress of Arkansas, cannot help
but feel more or less humilia-
ton by the charges of fragrant
graft and corruption that has
been laid at the door of the up
per house Of the Arkansas legis-
lature.
Two of the most prominent
members of that body have
been indicted by the Pulaski
county grand jury on charges
of bribery, and it is openly
stated that other members will
become involved when a COM
plete investigation has been
made.
The honest citizenship of
the state has a right to expect
that the states business will be
conducted on a plane that is
entirely above suspicion. When
a member of the highest law
making body in the state con-
ducts himself in such a man
ner as to subject himself to in
dietment on charges of bribery,
he does the entire state a seri-
Gus injury.
The people had hoped, and
had a right to expect, that the
old days of legislative graft
and corruption were passed.
1t is not our purpose to pass
judgment on the accused legis-
lators. That is a matter for the
courts. But The Journal hopes
the matter will be thoroughly
gone into, and if there are any
members of the legislature or
other state officials guilty of
bribery or corruption, we hope
they will be punished to the
full extent of the law.
The people of Arkansas want
no more of the graft and cor
ruption that disgraced the state
a few years ago.

DETROIT GAVE McMULllN

President. Frank Navin of the De- troit Tigers gave Fred McMullin, the former Northwestern Leaguer, his first chance in the major leagues. Navin wanted an infielder back in 1913 and wired Bob Brown asking him to recommend good man. Brown tipped McMullin off and tho youngster went up to the Tigers. He was sent back to the Coast League the following year and later the Angels sold him to the Chicago White Sox. He has been with the Chicago club for two years now and is rapidly coming to the front as one of the most promising players in the major leagues. Brown has been responsible for sending a lot of ball players up to the big leagues during the past few years.

ITS UP TO MAJORS
 TO ENCOURAGE MINORS

Unless the major leagues pay more attention to the minors they may be without players in the near future. It is from the minor league ranks that the future greats of the game come, but without minor league baseball there will be no material available for the big show. This season the majority of the minor leagues were forced to close down, yefy few finishing the season. This means that there will be a scarcity of playing talent and the majors may find it difficult bolstering up their clubs next year. The minors are ir dire need of assistance and it would seem that this should come from the moguIs in the big top be- fore it is too late.

Pearcc, called the Game Chicken" was the cham pfon of England. having won that title early in 1894 by whipping Jos eph Berke. Both Pearce and Gully were Bristol men and the fact that the fight was staked in their home city naturally brought out large crowd to witness the slaughter Feel ing between the rival camps ran high and it is surprising that no great disaster broke out. Pearce, like so many fighters before him. had the ambition to dispose of all the wet goods in England. and soon passed from pugilistic prominence.
