NOT AN EXAGGERAWON SOME
 DAY.

A cartoon appeared the other day depicting citizen growing potatoes on the roof of his dwelling. The car toon was supposed to be sarcastic.
 A moments reflection, however, will convince one that some day in the future the utilization of roofs as gardens may be as common as houses with chimneys.
 When this country has from 50o.- 000,000 to billion population, and all the other nations of the globe have populations in proportion, tho world <, available acreage of arabic Ian would not be sufficient. to grow sui ficient foodstuffs to support these huge populations.
 At that time, we think-and this s purely in the light of speculation every roof will actually be turned into roof garden.

Washington, March 16-Five Latin American governments nave accepted in principle a formal suggestion from Ecuador that delegates from the republics of North, South and Central America assemble immediate ly for the purpose of taking neces- sary measure for securing a contin- ental expression, principally for the guarantee of the rights of neutrals, and if it is possible, for the allievia- tion of the rigors of war;
 Additional acceptances are expect ed. .s sf - ifs'ss- S<
 The United States has not indicated it's attitude toward the conference 1t is known that at least one of the larger South American republics will followed whatever course the United States pursues.
 The Ecuadorean government made the suggestion in notes to the Ameri- can republics. It is proposed to- hold the conference in some South Ameri- can country. Uruguay was men, toned in Ecuadors communication.
 Minister Elizalde of Ecuador yes- terday urged ill g speech before the Pan-American union, that action be taken quickly by the American re- publics, on the ground that the inter- ests of all might soon be affected ''by contemporary events,' which, he added, may be of vital importance to this continent.

CiRCUiMSTANTlAL EVIDENCE CE.

Not long ago man was charged at country court with trespassing and also with shooting some pigeons which belonged to a farmer.
 In giving his evidence the farmer was exceedingly careful, even nerv- ous, and the lawyer for the defense endeavored to frighten him.
 "Now,' he remarked sternly, "re- member you're on oath Are you pre- pared to swear this man shot your pigeons?"
 "I didn't say he did shoot 'em,' was the reply. "I said I suspocte.! him of doing it!"
 "Ah! Now you're coming to it. What made you suspect the man?"
 Well. I first caught him on my land with gun. Secondly, I heard a gun go off and had seen some pig cons fall. Thirdly, I found four of my pigeons in his pocket-and I don't think them birds flew into his pock- cts and committed suicide for the fun of the thing" ."-Chicago News.

LABOR MORE INDEPENDENT.

The adoption by the Pine Bluff Gen. tral Trades council of a resolutio l, instructing that 8 communication be sent Senator w. F. Kirby commend ing him for his speech against en- towering President Wilson to arm merchant ships for defense against Illegal submarine attack indicates that labor is becoming more and more independent of the powers that be in organized labor; more and mora reluctant to get their opinions ready made from the leaders. For the at titude of the Pine Blufe Trades coun Gil is directly opposed to that of the American Federation of Labor, which, while hoping for peace, has tendere, I to the president the service of organ ized labor in every fiel" of endeavor, in the event of war
 Inasmuch, also, as MT. Kirby's a.- titude is that of a peace-at-any price man, the action of the Pine Bluff Central Trades council in approving that stand is subject to the interpre- tation that the local body is also op- posed to war And, if this is correct, then the natural conc.usiOl is that the local body is opposed to war fare or violence of any kind. and. therefore, would not approve of war between employer and employe, which is what strike amounts to, anl which might be as disastrous to the country as any war between the United States and foreign power.
 While The Graphic does not believe MT. Kirby should be commended for an attitude that is likely to prccipi- tate the very crisis he is SC anxious 10 avoid, yet it is gratified over the fact that it is Pine Bluff body that is showing this independence of thought, and is going on record as in favor of peaceful settlement of diff ferences between classes, as we'll as nations.

TO SHUN LARGE COTTON CROP
Peanuts and Pork and the Clover
Crops Are To Receive More At
tcntiOn
Special to The World.

Special to The World.
ADA. Okla, Feb. 17.-That the
farmers of Pontotoc county will not
plant an unusually large cotton crop
In this county another year is the
opinion OF j. b. Hill. county farm
demonstrator. Farmers from all sec
tions of this county say that 1t Is use
less to make an unduly large cotton
crop. If by so doing they are unable
TO produce the necessities of the home.
cotton at the present price Is not
really any higher in proportion to
the other farm products than it has
been in the past.
More attention Is to be given to
peanuts, especially. Those who plant
ed dthdis crop last year and fattened
hogs on the nuts reaped some hand
some profits from the packing houses
and from the local markets. Peanuts
and hogs at 10, IL and IL cents n
pound are really more remunerative
than cotton at IS and 20. At least
this is the way many of the planters
have worked 1t out.
Sweet clover, corn, alfalfa, and the
kaflrs are to be increased in acreage
also. Truck farming will pick up
materially on account of the improved
markets at Ada, Francis and Rolf.
Dozens OF farmers are putting in from
one to n dozen good dairy cows and
ming expenses that way.
There will be a slight increase In
cotton acreage OF course" said Mr..
Hill, but the increase will be only in
about the ratio to the increase of
other crops. In other words, cotton
will just about hold its own on the
new land put into cultivation"
