URGES WATER-POWER
LEGISLATION,

Noting the efforts of past years
toward the enactment of legisla
tlon relating TO the developments
OF the water power of the Nation,
the Secretary of Agriculture, il
his annual report, says that sit be
comes increasingly urgent thai
amendments to existing law bt
made and that well-rouuded DO.
Icy be decided upon" The re.
port continues:
"The present industrial situa
tloD, and particularly the scarcit,
and high cost of fuel and construc
tlOn materials, have increased The
cost OF steam power and make il
highly important that action be
t,ken at the next session of Con
gress. Legislation which will
make it possible to safeguard the
public interests, and at the same
time 10 protect private investors,
should result in securing cheaper
water power and iD conserving the
coal and fuel.oil supply. Since
three departments of the Govern
ment are vitality concerned in wa
ter power legislation and its pos
sible terms and would be vitally
affected by the administrative
handling of matters under such
legislation, it would seem desira
be to consider whetl e. it is feast
ble to devise an executive body OF
which the three departments will
be represented and which will b.
able to utilize to the best advan
tage all their existing agencies

DON'T FEED CORN FIT FOX
SEED.

Because they do not realiz
that Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Oklahoma

of seed of adapted varieties, ther.
are farmers here and there through
out the United States who art
feeding corn that would be more
valuable if used for seed
To the detriment of the 1915
crop such crop is being used tc
some extent IN some portions OF
the States mentioned This is es
peciaIly regrettable because th.
corn ls adapted to the conditions
and is not a great distance from
where it will be sadly needed nexl

Ordinarily seed corn should no
be obtained from a distance. TIE
incest looking may be entirely IN
adapted and cause the loss of Z
crop. AS there is but little "holo

their seed from other points. L
should be obtained from a localil,

FIGHTING MEN
IN FRANCE,

In a recent communication tC
Secretary of War Baker, the com
mander of the American Expedi.
tlonary Forces said:
"There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives
az our American soldiers IL
France. They have entered this
war with the highest devotion to
duty and with no other idea than
to perform these duties in most
efficient manner possible. They
fully realize their obligation to
their own people, their friends,
and the country. A rigid program
of instruction is carried out daily
with traditional American enthusl
asm. Engaged in health, inter
estlDg exercises In the open air,
with simple diets, officers and men
like trained athletes, are ready fol
their tasks. Forbidden the use OF
strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sex
nal evils, and supported by their
own moral courage, their good be
havior is the subject of most ia
vOrable comments, especially by
our allies. American mothers
may rest assured that their sons
are a credit to them and to the
Nation, and they may we'll look
forward to the proud day when Oh
the battle field these splendid men
will shed a new luster on Ameri.
can manhood."--News Digest.

NEW ARKANSAS REGIMENTS MAY
 BE DlSBANDtD
Ruling in Minnesota Case Expected to Apply
 Here.

Little Rock, May Hope that the newly organized National Guard units in Arkansas would see active service was given another blow Wednesda! by war department announcement which was said tc reflect decision it had reached not to accept such units for overseas service.
 The governor of Minnesota was or dered by the war department to dis band the newly organized Second Minnesota regiment.
 The Associated Press dispatch car rying the item said:
 "Indication that the war depart ment has decided not to accept any additional national guard units in the forces sent abroad was seen today in an order telegraphed to the governor of Minnesota instructing him to dis band the Second Minnesota infantry. The Minnesota authorities were anx- ious to have the unit in service as concrete evidence of the loyalty of the districts in which it was formed"
 No message relative to the new Fourth Or Fifth regiments here had been received at Governor Brough's office The status of the engineer battalion has not been changed, eith- CT.
 The war department some time ago announced that newly organized regi- ments would not be used for overseas duties.

 WILL GO AFTER
 SORGHUM PLANT
Lack of Acreage Prevents Industry From Coming
 Here at Once.

Although the Fort Scott Sorghum and Syrup company will not move it's plant this spring from Fort Scott, Kas., to Pine Bluff, because suffi- cient acreage of sorghum could not be obtained, E. B. Bloom, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, will go to Fort Scott next week to confer with company officials on moving the plant here next winter.
 After spending several months in making trips to Pine Bluff and en- deavoring to obtain pledges for at least 75O acres of sorghum to be planted this spring, J. A. Richards, efficiency engineer of the company could arrange for only $50 acres and this would not be sufficient to supply the industry. He even proposed to build a plant here temporarily for crushing the cane and then shipping it to Fort Scott for refining and can ming, but the acreage was not suffi- cient.
 Jefferson county farmers indicated their willingness to plant the cane, but the project hung fire until after they had arranged for their acreage and it was impossible then to change.
 The removal of the plant is only a postponement. MT. Bloom said yester- day, and his visit to Fort Scott is ex- pected to result in making all ar engagements for establishing the plant in Pine Bluff late this year Or early in 1919.

MORE CONNECTS WANTED 10 WORKS
 ON NEW ROADS

Little Rock, May 1.-I could place at S2 a day building roads," says w. B. Owens, state highway commission CT.
 It is probable that there will be a hard fight made in the next legisla- ture to abandon the state convict farms and turn every man over to the construction of highways.
 Gov Brough favors it, tho highway commission favors it, and at least one member of the penitentiary commis- sion favors it.
 There are now about 75 negro con- victs being employed on the Eureka Springs-Seligman road, and contrac tors who have examined the work praise it highly.
 The men are worked under the di rection of the penitentiary commis- sioners and the state is paid $2 day for their labor. It is not in any sense contract job. One contractor who has been examining the work saio that he would be glad to take LOG men to do similar work at S3 day.
 The labor of the convicts is ac- counted as part of the states contri- button tc the highway fund, and for every dollar expended in this way, the government gives the state a dol lar
 There are about 800 convicts that could be worked on tn eroads, and there are road improvement districts begging for them. These 800 men would bring the state $1,600 a day, and the government would pay the state S1 600.
