Action of Delegates in Meeting and Organizing Took One
 Eighth of Appropriation

Three days of the Constitu- tional convention at Little Rock last week cost the taxpayers of Arkansas 3,743.50, accord ing to items totaled in the state auditors office Friday mornng.
 There may be a few vouch- CTS outstanding, but the amount will not swell the total materi- ally. The legislature appro- priated $25, 1000 to pay all ex- penses of the convention.
 The largest expense item was that of salary and mileage for the members. The mem- bers received $4 per day and ten cents per mile each way to and from their homes. This mileage added to 109 times $4 represented the first big item.
 Another item was stationery and pencils which amounted to $250. The secretary was paid $4 per day, as was the assist ant secretary. The journal clerk and his assistants receiv- ed the same salary as also did the sergeant-at-arms. The chaplain also received $4 per day. Janitors received $3 and pages $2 per day.

spies and German emisaries abound in this country. Ev- cry day witnesses some act of vandalism traeeable to that source. Brazil has a German uprising. Can we assure our selves that the United States is proof against the same?
 How many times in recent years have disturbances brok- en out in this country of too great magnitude for local of ficers to handle? 1t is of ire quent occurrence Can we say that we have seen the last such? Or if not when they do occur, to what force will we look to restore order? The troops will be across the water or at least out from the states

 Every state in the union, ev- cry county in every state has thousands of able-bodied men, patriotic as any who marched away, who would be glad to be called for home defenst. These men are above draft age but would make none the less efficient soldiers. The com munity that has not made pro- vision for organizing this ele- ment of it's manhood for home defense, should lose no time i'll doing so. No man can tell what a. day may bring forth.

l54,OOO HOGSLOST IN
 ARKANSAS PAST YEAR
Worlds Meat Supply Is Short and Farmers Should Raise
 More Hogs This Year

Arkansas has lost 154,000 head of hogs from disease in the past twelve months and the worlds supply of pork is 35 per cent short.
 The situation is serious and something must be done. We must raise more hogs and pro- tect those we have from dis ease. Every farmer should keep more brood sows. Only registered boars should be used in order to produce larger ami mals and better feeders. Eco- homie feeding should be prac- ticed by using more forage crops and giving the hogs bet ter attention. Protection should also be given the hogs against cholera. The serum and virus treatment will insure you against the losses. The serum can be secured at cost from the State Serum Plant at Little Rock.
 Every farmer in Indepen- dence county should make a special effort to raise more hogs the coming year than was raised this year.
 The world demands more meat and Independence county farmers can assist in supplying this demand and make money for themselves. Hogs grow into money faster than any other farm animals.

Patrolman Discovers Fire on Platform Containing $2O,-
 GOO Worth of Cotton

A bale of cotton on the cot ton platform at the depot caught fire in some mysterious m nner Saturday night and bU. fer its timsly discovery by Pa 1rolman Magness would have resulted in enormous loss.

It was ready to burst into flames when discovered by him, and its dis covery saved a heavy loss as there was something like $20.- GOO worth of cotton on tho platform awaiting shipment.
 The fire spread to another bale before being extinguished but was finally gotten under control and the damaged bales rolled out into the street.

Walter Hoyt, the little son of MT. and Mrs. w. ". Hoyt, was struck by an automobile driven by Ray Chamberlain
 saturday, and sustained .a juries which caused his death on the following day.

He says that he did not see the child because of a blind corner" at that point.

 The fender of the car struck the boy and knocked him down. His head struck a rock or the edge of the sidewalk and fractured the skull.
 An operation was performed Sunday morning by Drs. k. C. Dorr, L. G. Poe and V. L. Pas COG in an effort to save the child's life but all efforts to save the little life was fruitless and death resulted about l O. clock Sunday afternoon.

GENERAL FUNSTON
DIES SUDDENLY

Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, COM
mander of the southern department
of the United States army since Feb
ruary, 1915, died suddenly at hotel
in San Antonio, Tex, last night a
few minutes after he had finished
dinner. He collapsed and fell uncon-
scious while seated in the lobby of
the hotel talking with friends, and
playing with a little girl, a guest
with her parents at the hotel. Death
was almost instantaneous.
General Funston was 81 years old.
Ever since March, 1916, when he
was placed in command of all United
States forces on the Mexican border,
General Funston had worked at an
unusual pace. At critical times in
border developments he frequently
remained on duty twenty hours of the
twenty-four.

Trying To Use the Confederate
Veterans as Catspaw in Capital

this last time on the eve of the gath
ering of their successors in regular
session.
The suggestion is in keeping with
the hysteria that has reigned in GER
tain quarters since the extra ses-
sion idea was Matched. The further
it goes, the worse it gets; we shudder
to think what may be coming next.
Like every friend of the Confed-
crate veterans of the state, we want
to see them get every cent that has
been set aside for them. The state
can arrange to pay this without
spending half of the gross amount to
do so, and this should be done. 1t
has been done before, and it can be
done again.
The appeal to Governor Harris in
the name of the veterans is a shrewd
move. He is veteran himself and
the softest spot in his heart is for his
former comrades in arms. But the
object of this agitation is not to help
the veterans, but under the cloak of
so doing, to enable bunch of poll
ticians to accomplish a purpose much
desired. We think Governor Harris
astute enough to see this, and that
he will not be misled. After the
extra session propaganda has been
squelched, then he and the other
real friends of the veterans can de-
wise means by which the state may
pay what it owes.

TOBACCO FARMERS
FLEECED OF $1,000
EXPERT HIRED TO SUPERIN-
TEND CULTIVATION RECEIV-
ED MONEY AND LEFT.

Numerous Terrell county farmers
and some in Lee who, in getting away
from the all-cotton policy, decided to
include the growing of tobacco in
their plan of crop Investigation, are
bemoaning the unceremonious de-
parture of F. R. Zeigler, who came to
this section from Virginia as an ex-
pert in the culture of the weed"
A number of farmers of the Bron-
wood community had good success
last year in the culture of tobacco
under the direction of Zeigler, and
many farmers in other parts of the
county were encouraged to plant to-
bacco this year. Zeigler was accord
ingly employed to superintend the
preparation of the beds for the seed
and the cultivation of the plant, the
agreement being that he was to be
paid by the farmer $500 for each
acre. Farmers in Terrell prepared
to plant an aggregate of about so
acres, and everything started off
nicely and all were in high spirits
over the prospects of a harvest of
golden dollars when the new crop
was marketed. To the wizard who
was to bring the plants to maturity,
the time and trouble of having to
collect the amount of his salary from
the subscribers monthly, and thereby
keep him steadily on the job nursing
and coaXing the delicate plants and
seeing that they had only the best
and right kind of attention, the $500
per acre was collected from nearly
all the tobacco planters in advance
with the understanding that Zeigler
was to deposit the money in a bank
and pay himself quarterly. The first
part of this agreement was strictly
adhered. The money was collected,
but there it ended. No money was
deposited in bank, and furthermore
the expert tobacco grower has not
been seen since.
At first it was thought that he had
been unexpectedly called away, and
would return in a few days. But three
have elapsed, and it is now believed
that he is gone for good-and the
money, too.
The victims of Zeigler were feeced
for various amounts, one farmer los
ing as much as 500. A number have
abandoned the intention of growing
tobacco, while others will go ahead
their plans without the advice and
help of an expert.
AS stated above Zeigler was en-
ployed by a number of farmers in
the Brentwood community who grew
tobacco with splendid success last
year. He was Industrious and atten-
tive to his work and conducted him
self so as to win the esteem and re-
spect of the community. His recent
action came as a shock to his friends.
and they are at a loss to account
for it.
