Petrograd.-Ru Russia's government,
it was learned at the foreign Office
will rest exclusively in the control of
the council of ministers until the con-
vocation of a constitutional assembly,
The Duma committee having fulfilled
its task as a temporary governing
body during the days of the reyolu-
tion, will thus pass out Of existence
as the chief legislative body of the
nation and will surrender its powers
to a cabinet whose premier, Prince
Lvoff, will have authority approXi-
mating that of the president of a re-
public.
1t is impossible as yet to forecast
with any certainty the final form the
government will assume, since it will
depend entirely upon the collective
will of the entire population to which
has been extended the permission Of
the new government regarding uni
versal suffrage
The belief prevails in critical cir
cles that the opinion of the country
would be found to favor a reform Of
government, not under president,
but under a commission similar to
the governing body of Switzerland.
In any event, the old regime is dead

emperor and he will be little more
than ruler in name only.
The foreign Office reiterated the de-
claratiOn already made by the new

British Bar Excludes Women.

The London bar recently voted down
a resolution proposing that women be
made eligible to the practice of law.
At present the legal profession is en-
tirely closed to English women. Hol-
ford knight, in proposing the resolu-
' AtioD, said that the opposition no longer
lacked capacity. The war had dis
proved this assertion, he said. j. II.
Menzies, one of the leading lawyers Of
the kingdom, in Objecting, said that
the women might have proved their
ability in trades, but that the bar was
no common business like any other, but
a special and sacred profession, and
that admission TO it was not to be de-
termined on mere commercial or eco
noniic grounds. If such a step as pro-
posed were taken, he said, it would
definitely raise the question whether
the country were in the hands of the
men or women. The vote against the
resolution was overwhelming.

RESULTS AT EXPERIMENT STA.

During the Past Season.
Fayetteville

FayetteVllIe.--
Desiring to help the farmers OF
the state to determine the best Varie-
ties of cotton to plant this year. the
experiment station of the University
of Arkansas, at Fayetteville, has just
published for free distribution circu-
lar No. 20, a summary report on cot
ton variety tests during 1916. This
circular should be valuable and inter
esting to cotton farmers of the state,
says w f. Ayres. assistant agrono-
mist, who compiled the data, be
cause it gives the value per acre Of
the first picking and Of the total yield
of seed in the lint for 81 varieties Of
cotton tests at Mena on hill land and
at the famous Scots neighborhood
near Little Rock, on bottom land" A
summary report of the cooperative
variety tests in Arkansas, Drew,
Faulkner, Jefferson, Lee, Pulaski and
Sebastian counties, in which expert
ment station officials worked with the
farmers under the direction Of the
demonstration agents Of the extension
division, is also given. In addition
the circular gives the length and per
cent of lint and the number of bolls
per pound for all varieties reported as
well as the source Of seed.
Yields at Scots were good and the
values high. Considering only the
10 high ranking varieties according
to the value Of seed and lint, the da-
ia collected at Mena and SCOTS indi-
Gates that for the conditions which
prevailed there are some good varie-
ties in the big boiled, small boiled
and long stapled groups, and that no
one group can claim all early varie-
ties.
In computing value seed was valued
at $50 per ton and lint at the average
market price during September, Oc-
tOber and November. The average to-
tai value per acre at SCOTS Of the
10 varieties producing the greatest
per acre value was S175.97 and that
for the 10 producing the least $1O790,
the difference being S6S.07, or 6Sl
per cent. The average per acre value
produced at the first picking by small
boiled varieties was only so cents
greater than that produced by the me-
dium and big boiled varieties.
The average per acre value produc-
ed at the first picking by the short
staple varieties was S1297 greater
than that produced by the long staple
varieties, but Express, long staple
variety was the earliest variety in the
experiment. The average total per
acre value of all short staple varieties
was 1887 greater than that Of the sta
pie varieties, but Express and Foster
were among the 10 leading varieties.
A study of the figures shows that the
same general tendency prevailed at
Mena as at Scots, except that the
small boiled varieties gave better com
paratiVe results.

That women are not specifically re-

maries for the nomination OF candi-

torney John d. Arbuckle given TO NJ.
F.. Dunaway, prosecuting attorney.
Mr.. Dunaway asked the attorney
generals opinion at the request OF
Dan Quinn, county clerk, who did not
know whether he was authorized to
assess women for poll tax under the
new law.
In an opinion given March to res.

the reason that they could not prop
erly acquire poll tax emitting them
TO vote earlier.
HenEy Rector, assistant United
States district attorney, recently sub
mitted an opinion in which he said
that women who pay poll tax before
June 30, 1917, will be allowed to vote
in any primary this year. Mr. Rector
said, however, that the law authoriz-
ing women to votes does not become
effective until after June 7. With the
exception of possible city primaries,
and the constitutional convention pri-
mary, there are no primary elections
to be held this year.
Mr.. Dunaway said that his opinion
relative to the payment Of poll tax
is the same as that of the attorney
general and that women will not be
allowed to vote until after June 7 for
the reason that the emergency clause
was not attached to the bill and it
does not become effective until 30
days after its approval. Mr.. Dunaway
will this week instruct the county
clerk to assess women, however, and
the sheriff to issue poll tax receipts
to them upon payment of the tax, he
said.
