FALL POTATOES MAKE coon
oscar Parneli and $. r. Collins Ra;sa
 20O Bushels on Two Acres.

Visual evidence has been presentod to show that one can raise anything out of Pine Bluff and Jefferson conn ty soil that can be grown anywhere in this belt. The evidence shows that while raising these things, they are the best that can be grown in their category, whether it be veeeta- bles or livestock.
 The latest evidence to be Presented comes from Oscar Parnell and S. p Collins, pToprietors of the Majestic market, wFo raised 200 bushels of fall Irish l.utatoes on two acres of land at the end of the free bridge in Jefferson county, across the river.
 T1ls evidence is direct and indis- rutable testimonial of the fact that fall Irish potatoes can be grown with profit in Jefferson county. They plant ed the potato culls July 24 and they are now gathering the crop. The land was idle the first part of the year. but the yield has paid we'll, as it did not cost them but 50 cents a. pushel to produce the crop, and the wholesale price for spuds yester- day was $2.25 a bushel.
 The potatoes are large and firm.

HAUBER THEATRE.

The true story of the Russian rev. olution and the fall of the Romanoffs is shown in the form of a dramatic and thrilling motion picture, "Ras- putin, the Black Monk," which on Wednesday and Thursday will be the attraction of the Hauber with su- preme cast of stars, Montagu Love, June Elvidge, Arthur Ashley, Julia Dean, Irving Cummings and Hurbert Wilke and with scores of film favor ties. Who was Rasputin and how did he ever rise to be the real czar of all Russia? What sort of power did he exercise over women which made them his slaves? What were his plans with regard to a separate peace be- tween Russia and Germany and what did he have to do with the demorali zation of the Russian army? Who planned his death? How did he meet his death? What was done with his body? All these answers are contain ed in one of the fastest moving, most consistent, most timely motion pictures of all time.

the best reason that the Democratic voters of Pine Bluff should select him to discharge the duties of the new court. At the same time attention is called to the fact that Mir. Lee is gen. ial and courteous, thus assuring those having dealings with the court of the treatment to be expected from public officials, in the event that he is chisen for the place.
 That MT. Lee will be a formidable candidate is conceded. He has many loyal friends among the men with whom he has been associated for years, and many of these will not only vote for him themselves, but they will solicit the votes of other Demo- cratic men and women for their fa- vorite.
