COMMISSIONER OF AGRI-
 CULTURE WRITES TO FARMERS OF ARKANSAS.

The writer desires again to call the attention of the farmers to the work of the State De- partment of Agriculture and the Federal Government to blot out fraud in short weights and mis- branded feeds and fertilizers. The Federal and State inspectors work in cooperation in protect ing the people. The Federal in- spectors turn their attention especially to interstate ship mentS.
 A few manufacturers have been shipping commercial feed stuffs and fertilizers into this state and placing same on the market for 100 pounds to the bag when it only weighed g., 90 or 95 pounds to the bag. Others have fallen short of their analyses. The result has been the condemning of feeds and fertilizers, the eancelling of registrations of manufacturers and the withholding of feed and fertilizers from sale, etc. There fore, many local dealers have been inconvenienced for d failure upon the. part to make it a part of their contract that the feed fertilizer manufacturers meet the requirements of the law. Short weights and low analyses are outright forms of stealing.
 Before purchasing your next supply of commercial feed staffs and fertilizers, place the bag on the scale and notice the weight. If you find irregular ities, report same to this office. The State Department of Ag- riculture and Federal authorities seek to protect the farmers, honest dealers and manufac- turers against dishonest com petition. We most earnestly seek your cooperation

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

THE SPIRIT OF THE LEGION


 The Monticellonian is in re- ceipt of copy of The Spirit of the Legion an official publication put out by the American Legion. This is a very neat paper full of interest to all persons who took part in the late war. We quote from it's pages the high aim this organization has in view:
 THE AMERICAN LEGION WEEKLY is born on this one hundred and forty-third an- niversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Appropriately A so. The prin- ciples and ideals of that epochal document in human liberty are those of The American Legion, which the American Legion Weekly represents.
 "The Legion itself is a spon- taneous expression of purpose by those millions of Americans who helped crush autocracy. Out of their common expe- riences through the dark months of the war has grown comrade- ship and a patriotism which is vitalized by their organization into this single concrete force which will stand always as barrier against the force of greed ignorance and chaos.
 The American Legion is the epitome of that Americanism for which it stands. It's voice is the majority voice of it's mem- bers; it's will the will of the many. Spontaneous in incep- tion, it has been democratic in its development. There are no titles recorded on it's rolls. It is free of rank, of cast-and of partisanship. If 1t seeks in a full measure to serve those who were in service, it seeks in fuller measure to serve America.
 "ln this spirit the American Legion has entered upon it's mis- sion. In this spirit the American Legion Weekly sets upon it's way"
