Disposal Of Cun1nlins
 Farm Urged By B1ough

In his biennial message to the leg islature Governor Brough makes many important recommendations the most striking of which probably being that the state shall sell or lease the state farm for negroes at Cum mins and employ the convicts on highway work. John McCuistion, a citizen of Newport and formerly sher- if Jackson county, as one of the pen itentiary commissioners is in charge of the Cummins convict farm.
 The governor says that the finances of the state for the first time in years are in satisfactory condition. He reports that at the end of the first fiscal year, July 1, 1918, there was a cash balance in the treasury of $168,25 which, he says, is more than sufficient to care for all unvouchered claims against the general revenue fund. He ascribes this happy condi- tion to the note issue authorized by the last legislature, which put the state on cash basis, to the spirit of cooperation of departmental heads, and to the creation of state Audito- rial department.
 The governor estimates the re- ceipts of the general revenue fund for the next two years will be $3,000,- 900. Requests for appropriations amounting to about $3,800,000 have been filed. At a meeting of depart ment heads in his office he says that these requests were reduced about $400,000 and that it will fall to the legislatures budget Committee to cut off an additional $400,000 He says the appropriation must not ex- ceed the estimated revenues, and an- nounces: "I shall certainly use the power of veto to that end if it be- comes necessary"
 Following are the recommendations made by the governor:

 Younger was unhurt until March 21st. He was then so badly gassed that little hope was entertained for his recovery. He was taken to the evacuation camp at Foul, and then sent to Blois, where he remained un- til he was brought to the convales- cent camp at Cape May in July. At the time Younger was gassed 800 men in the division were physically disabled or killed during the German gas concentration that lasted six days.
 Younger said the Germans used at
 least twenty-two kinds of gas in their attacks during the war. He said he fell stricken with phosgenel gas.
 While convalescing at Cape May, Younger was surprised to see his "buddy" brought to the hospital, as- so gassed. He is Sergeant John Kallman, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Both soldiers were attached to the same
 unit.
 A few days ago Sergeant Kallman was discharged from the army.
 Younger wrote him of his marriage, and invited him to come to the city and see him. He arrived yesterday and heartily congratulated his chum

LEGISLATURE |s
 IN SESSION NOW
Both Houses Were Practically Or ganized Before They Met, First
 Time In History.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. 13.-The Forty second session of the Arkansas Gen. eraI Assembly convened at noon to- day.
 For the first time in the history of the state, probably, so far as any one cam remember, both houses were practically organized when they met, all that was necessary being rati- fication of what had been done in caucus. This is important, since it will be the means of saving several days time for more important busi- ness than wrangling over organiza- 4ian.
 H. l.. Ponder of Lawrence county is president of the senate, his elction having been assured several months ago Ira Langley of Clay county is secretary of the senate. Practically saiI of the minor officers and em- ployees had been selectd in caucus.
 c. F. Newton, of Little Rock, was
 
 similarly selected for Speaker of the house, all opposition having gradual ly withdrawn as it was seen that his election was a certainty. Similarly, Harvey c. Combs of Fayetteville, was chosen for chief clerk without oppo- sition, and other places were filled without the usual scramble.
 There never was so small number of candidates for the various clerical and other positions. This is largely due to the fact that men and women, young and old, who have usually been active in pressing their claims, have other and more profitable employ anent that will last longer than sixty days.
 There is a big legislative program before this session, enough to engage alae time and attention of the law makers even though no local legisla- tion were considered at all.
 Gov. Brough himself has outlined in his message enough work to keep zhe legislature busy for weeks.
 An effort will be made to secure by statute many of the things that were provided for by the proposed constitution, where they may not be in conflict with the present constitu- tion, where they may not be In con- flict with the present constitution.
 There will be numerous proposed amendments to the constitution. Strange as it might appear to prae- sical politician of ten years ago, 1Tere is a scramble to see who shall have the honor of first introducing the suffrage measure in both the house and the senate. That it will be adopted very early in the session IS assured.
 There will be no effort to submit a x,rohib;tien amendment since the state Is already dry by statute. But one s,f the first acts will be, to ratlfy the federal prohibition amendment, which xsilI bring dry United States nearer to a realization.
 Gov. Brough's message is most arogressive document, and makes many important recommendations for xhe good of the state. Business men and farmers of Cam den have raised $6,0oO for the build sng of highway across the Ouachita

The Quiet Heroes

Once, when l was a little girl
there was a fire in the village
great big fire, with q lot Of smoke
and flames TO it.
We children were awfully excited.
We ran TO the windows and opened
the doors and called to each other
across the street. And by and by
we were so excited that We just
couldn't stay in the house, so down
the quiet country roads we ran 20
see the neighbours house on fire.
Allan Mills was great hero, /
remember. We never thought he
was one before, but all at once that
night he came pushing through the
crowd with a great ladder in his
hand. set it up against the wall and
rushed to the top like a boy Of six
teen, although he was very far from
being a boy himself. He sat upon
the roof and bossed the job.
Downstairs in the yard the men
and the half-grown boys ran TO and
for passing each other pals of wa
ter, and Mike Carroll. the village
butcher, proved himself captain of
industry by organizing a bucket bril-
gade. All the little boys tried their
best to get into the brigade ard were
insulted when they were told they
weren't big enough. The women
helped to carry the furniture out of
the house A man brought out the
piano and the dining-room table,
and we children ran back and forth
with chairs and tablecloths and
things. Finally the fire was put OUT
and the Claflins went back TO bed,
and we all went home
DO We Grow Tired?
The next morning was Sunday.
and when I went back by the Claf-
Inns on my way TO Sunday school /
saw Mr.. and Mrs. Claflin and the
Claflin children out in the garden,
carrying back the furniture. 1 never
thought TO stop and offer to nelp
them Nobody else did either. ex-
cept one and that one was a quiet
good humored man, who wasn't par
ticularly important in the village
life.
We all loved the excitement of the
fire, and were glad of the chance TO
be part of it, hut when the fire
was over and II came TO stralghten-
ing things up again we weren't in the
least interested. How natural that
