orable gentleman and a pans taking and efficient officer, and should he be the choice of the Democratic voters as their nomi- nee (which is equivalent to an election) for the office to which he now aspires. we feel sure that he will attend to its duties in the same manner as he did those of the Assessors and County Clerks. As MT. Dickson is so we'll known to the people of the county, we will refrain from say ing more, but we'll leave his claims with the vo ters, asking them to carefully consider his rights and qualifications before casting their ballots.

Keep the stock off the fields when the soil is wet. Nature has been good to the soil this winter, man should not mistreat it. Remember the soil is the home of great mass of living work ing organisms that need encourage. ment in their work. They need light porous, airy home, not a cattle tramp ed, packed and hard one It is unfair to both stock and soil where the ami. mals are miring about over the fields Keep the stock off of the fields when the soil is wet.
 On one of the most severe days ot this winter, farmer came to:town and bought blows and repair parts for his farm machinery and tools. When the pretty days come this man will not be a, the shop repairing tools. This example is good one to follow. Be certain to have every thing ready when blow time comes.

I University at Lexingt5D, Va
 where he graduated in law.
 Completing his law course at
 the University he came directly
 to Warren in 1904, and entered
 immediately into the active practice of law; and by close attention to business, fair and honest dealings with his fellow man, he has established a reputation for probity of char acter and intergity that is second to none.
 He has been honored by tn e citizens of Bradley county with two successive terms in the Legislatu re, being elected to these positions in 1908 and 1910, and while 8 member of that body took leading part, and could always be counted on the side of beneficial legislation and morality. He is prominent member of the Baptist Church, an |. at the last meeting of the Bartholomew Association, was h ,nored by being chosen as Mod orator. He married a Bradley county lady, to which union three children have been born, and his every interest Is in Southeast Arkansas and his highest purpose is to serve the people we'll and faithfully. As a lawyer, none stands higher, as a gentleman he has no superior, and as 8 progressive, public spirited citizen he ranks with the foremost. The editor of this paper has, personally, known MT. Bradham, practically, since his arrival in this State, and takes pleasure in recommending him to the Democratic voters as man worthy of their confidence, and one who will make them an up- right, conscientious and accep- table Circuit Judge, should they see fit to confer such honor upon him. We ask that his claims be carefully considered at the con- ing Primary Election.

OF INTEREST
 TO FARMERS.
BY T. k. REID COUNTY DEMONSTRATORS.
 Nitrate of Soda.

The most readily available nitrogen ons fertilizing material is Nitrate of Soda, a salt like substance obtained from the mines of Chile, South Ameri- ca. Nitrate of Soda contains about Ia per cent nitrogen all of which is solu ble in water and is thus taken up read fly through the plant roots. This fer tilizer is especially valuable as a top dressing for grain and truck crops. An application of 75 to 100 pounds per acre on wheat when it has started growth in the Spring will hssten the growth and give material increase to the yield. A like application to corn when about knee high will stimulate to big extent the produc- tion of grain especially if the soil or which it is grown is rather sandy ol sour. The grower of truck crops and melons should use rather large amounts of Nitrate of Soda as it furnishes the element in readily waitable form that is needed by these crops.
 The U. s. Department of Agricul ture has made arrangements to furnish Nitrate Soda to the farmers at$75.5C per ton plus the freight charges from an rastem seaport and the State in spection Tax.
 This is at cost, and is relatively chear substance at this price as compared to the increased yields that should be obtained from its use.
 The applications for the amounts of Nitrate Soda of must be placed with the County Agent or some member of the committee composed of H. P. Cruce, K D. McNeeley and W. D. Wilkinson, by February 4th. All applications must be in by that day.

Hon. D. A. Bradha m. of Warren,
 for Circuit Judge.

In to-day's Monticellonian will be found the announcement of Hon. D. A. Bradham, of War ren, Bradley county, for Circuit Judge of the 10th Judicial Cir curt. As MT. Bradham is a stranger to many of the voters of Drew county, 1t will not be amiss for us to give a biographi- cal sketch of his life. He was born in the county of Clarendon, South Carolina, Sept. IS, 1878, and is now 40 years of age-just
 in the prime of useful activity. After attending the rural schools of his community, he went to the Carolina Military School,
 where he graduated, with first honors, in 1900. He subsequent ly attended the Washington Lee

Taxpayers are authorized under the law to postpone pay. ment of their income tax until June 10th, but may fulfill their obligations to the Federal Gov ernment for the current year by paying their taxes at the time the return is filed. By so doing tax payers will not only relieve themselves of. further annoyance, but will render additional pa- triotic service to our Govern ment by replenishing the United States Treasury at a time when most needed.
 The War Revenue Act of Oct. 3. 1917, authorizes discount at the rate of 3 per cent per annum for advance payment of income taxes, but where a tax is shown to be only few dollars it would hardly justify the taxpayer to figure the discount. For ex- ample, if the tax shown to be due is only 5000 and is paid on the 1st of February the discount figured at the rate of 3 per cent for 135 days tor until June 15) will only amount to p cents.
 The payment may be made by check or Money Order, payable to the Collector of Internal Rev. enue, and delivered to any deputy collector or attached to the return and mailed direct to Jack Walker, Collector at Little Rock, Arkansas, and it is ur- gently requested that all who possibly can will avail themsel- yes of this patriotic service and pay their taxes at the time of filing returns.H

Back to the Far m.

A few short years ago much was said and written about going back to the farm. The object for thls move was to relieve the digested condition of the cities, and afford more remunerative and healthy condition. Some few, perhaps, needed the call, but there was no great rush or overflow in that direction. Nor was the necessity so great and impending as it is to-day. Aside from relieving over-crowded cities and improving health sur roundings, the imperative neces- sity of something to feed the na- tion on is para mount. Thousands upon thousands of robust young men, taken out of the fields of production and placed in army ranks, their places in the fields must be filled, else there will, unquestionablly, be shortage in the food supply. Just how to in. duce the idle and indigent of the cities and towns to get out on the farms and assist in main- taining the proper ratio of the food supply, is the problem that should be solved, and right speedily. That it would be bet ter for the class, of which we are speaking, better for the whole country, no sane person can truthfully deny. Hence, it is important that every induce ment should be offered. Means should, in some way, be provid- ed for these people to make @ start. They should be shown the many advantages of farm life over that in which they now live, and prevailed on to accept the better and more profitable and pleasant avocation. So long as the war continues food pro- ducts, of every sort, will remain high, and to the industrious man, with modicum of judg- ment, the opportunity is excel lent. Many families now living, crowded and half starved, in the cities, could make good money and enjoy life and be happy on the farm. Let them consider this.

In many instances the garden seed furnished farmers and gar deners have been sent out from Washington so late in the Spring as to be of little value to the peo- pie; but, this year, Col. Sam. M. Taylor, the able Congressman from this (6th) District, always alert to the interests of his con- stituents, has had a supply of these seed sent to the people, early in the winter, and now, when gardening time arrives, they will have them on hand, ready to plant. These Govern ment seed are generally of good quality, and you should give them a trial.

The evil effects of this pro- longed and cruel war is now be- ing felt all over this country. Its first blight touches the building of railroads and public highways, all of which have been practical ly suspended. Another of its po- tent effects is to influence and induce abnormal conditions in the price of all kinds of com modities. In many places and, especially, in the large cities, there has ben actual suffering among the poor for the very ne- cessities of life; and what is more regretable conditions will grow worse as the war continues.

Sheriff Williams Secures Arrest of Walter Pierce, Negro, at Muncie,
 Ind, After Long Search.

After a search of six years, Walter Pierce, negro, wanted here for mur- der, has been arrested at Muncie, Ind. and Deputy Sheriff J. L.. McBurnett will leave today to bring him back for trial.
 Pierce killed Walter Chavers, negro, near Moscow in 1912 and escaped. Sheriff R. l.. Williams got track of him on several occasions ,the last time at St. Louis, and thru the trail for Pierce recently located and appre- hended another negro at St. Louis wanted for murder here.
 Pierce's efforts to evade the draft aided Sheriff Williams in locating him. He was recently drafted at Nun cie and wrote to relatives near Pine Bluff for money to "help him out of trouble" Sheriff Williams learned of the letter and immediately wrote to the sheriff at Muncie.
 The Muncie sheriff received Sheriff Williams letter on August 4, the date Pierce was to have been sent to camp. The draft board held him until his picture could be sent to Pine Bluff. The photograph was identified as that of Pierce by Deputy Sheriff Wal lace Bryan. Pierce had gone under an other name in Muncie.
 A telegram yesterday told the Nun cie officed of the indentification and an answering wire said he would re- turn without requisition papers.
