PLANT FOOD FIRST
 MIR. KNAPP URGES
FEDERAL OFFICIAL SAYS PRES ENT SITUATION MOST DANCER. GUS SOUTH HAS EVER FACED ISSUES BULLETIN.

Food plus cotton equals prosper ity.'
 This is the keynote of bulletin just issued by Bradford Knapp. chief of the States Relation Service Of the United States Department of Az riculture.
 The bulletin declares that the pres ent situation is the most dangerous that the cotton states have faced in many years. It says that the cotton states farmers have had four pros porous years, partly because of four short crops of cotton with resulting high pices and partly because the farmers have raised and produced SO much of their own food and feed
 The bulletin calls attention to the fact that for the last four years the Texas cotton crop has been about million and a quarter bales below the average because of drouths. Both states have had good rains this Win ter and have excellent prospects for big cotton crops this season.
 "A big crop in Texas and Okla
 
 homa always has meant a big crop in the whole country says the Dui- letin. Think that over before you de eide to increase your cotton acreage
 "Will the mills of northern France and Belgium be restored to full work ing capacity at once? Certainly not. Will the poor people of Europe seek food or cotton first? Food. of course. People can and will wear patched clothing and sleep without pillows and pillow cases if need be, but the hungry stomach must be fed. Think about that"
 The bulletin calls attention to the fact that while the price of cotton has increased prices of other com modities have increased along with 1t and that pound of cotton at 30 cents in 1918 bought about the same quantity of other products that it did at 12 cents in 1912.
 With less acres than last year and a good season we can easily

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 COMMERCIAL CLUB
DATE NOT DEFINITELY FIXED, BUT WILL PROBABLY BE LAT TER PART OF MONTH-FARM CAMPAIGN TO FOLLOW.

The annual meeting of the Mari anna Commercial Club, an event al ways looked forward to with much pleasure by the more than four hun dred members of the organization. will be held within the next three weeks. President J. M. McClintock and Secretary H. NJ Jackson have been in communication with the Board of Commerce of Little Rock trying to secure the presence of H.. M. Cottrell. agriculturist of that or ganization. for the annual meeting here. Last week MT. McClintock had a promise to the effect that MT. Cottrell could be here on the even ing of February 25, and accordingly the officers of the club began to make arrangements to hold the an nual meeting and election of officers at that time, Wednesday, however, advices were received that Mir. Cot trell had another engagement for that date and would have to come here later It is expected definite date will be fixed within the next few days, following which announcements will be made. The club officials will endeavor to get Editor Mooney of the Commercial Appeal here for an address on that occasion.
 The usual Blue and Red campaign will be waged for the election of the new officers. c. c. Kitchener has been selected by the nominating com mittee to head the Blue ticket, and w. J. Shorten has been chosen as leader of the Reds. Both these gen. tlemen are live wires. corking good advertisers, born boosters and in previous campaigns have put plenty of pep and ginger in the contests. It is expected they will do even bet ter when they themselves are the leaders of the two tickets. The nom inees for members of the executive committee on the two tickets have not yet been selected.
 At the annual meeting the forth. coming farm campaign will be thor oughly discussed and plans adopted. The movement for a general reducz ton in the cotton acreage will no doubt form the keynote of the cam paign this spring. In fact. meetings are to be held in every county in the state within a few days to impress upon the farmers the necessity for cutting the cotton acreage and grow ing more food crops. Lee county will fall in line and through the ef- forts of the Commercial Club the food campaign will be vigorously waged

SOLDIERS WELFARE
 TO BE LOOKED AFTER
R. D. SMITH MADE CHAIRMAN OF COUNTY ORGANIZATION TO KEEP THE BOYS FIT SOCIALLY MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

At meeting of local business and program, suggested by the State Executive Committee of the r. M. c. A., for the reception of our re- turning soldiers, was adopted, and a committee was constituted to put 1t on in this county
 The program provides for county wide campaign, running through the next five months, and looking after the interests of our returning army and navy men socially, morally. physically and spiritually. It pro vides for special emphasis to be placed, during one month, on each of the various activities suggested in the program, with each activity head ed by member of the following committee:
 R. D. Smith, county chairman.
 Chas Mckee. chairman social pro gram.
 P. R. Turner. chairman keep-fit program.
 F. L. MacChesney, chairman edu- cational program.
 Rev. c. c. Burke, chairman boys leadership program.
 Rev. J. A. Womack, Rev. G. L.. Hammock and Rev w. K. Johnston. chairmen religious programs.
 This committee will act on the assumption that our boys, having had their characters developed by disappointinents and sacrifices. and their vision broadened by coming in contact with so much unselfish serv- ice, can, if given an opportunity, be made a very decided asset to the social and religious life of their com munities. It will endeavor to see that adequate expression of appre- citation for what they have suffered is shown on the part of the people at home, and at the same time will try to impress upon them that great things are expected of them in the way of community betterment. The special advantage and opportunities they have enjoyed carry with them commensurate obligations and quali- fly them for usefulness in very unusual way.
 This program will be put on simul- i'll all the seventyfive coun- ties of the state and should do much COW ard the development of good citi- zenship in A;karsas

CITY PRIMARY IS
 NEXT ON DOCKET
MAYOR, CITY TREASURER, Po- LICE JUDGE AND THREE AL DERMEN TO BE NOMINATED FOR APRIL GENERAL ELECTION

The next election that will be held in Marianna will be the city demo- cratic primary for the nomination of candidates for mayor, city treasurer, police judge and one alderman from each of the three wards. The city central committee will meet within the next ten days and fix the date for the primary which will perhaps be in the first week in March The general city election will be held on the first Tuesday in April.
 Mayor F. R. Dupuy, who has serv- ed as chief executive of the city the past four years, says he will not again be candidate. The mayor held up his right hand and solemnly said never again" when asked if he would be candidate to succeed him self So far as Is known there are no avowed candidates for the place. Those most frequently suggested as probable candidates are R. D. Smith, now serving as one of the aldermen from the third ward; Max D. Miller, WI tcIuu do dlucl iIOHi tuc second ward expires; and R. D. Jar ratt. So far, none of these gentle men has been approached on the matter and it is not known any of them would consent to make the race.
 c. c. Kitchener, who has served several terms as treasurer, will be a candidate to succeed himself, as will also Judge Jno. c. Williams, po- lice judge. It is not thought either of these men will have opposition.
 The aldermen who retire this year are J. L. Isaacs from the first ward; Max D. Miller from the second ward; and w. P Harris from the third ward. The hold-overs are D. l.. Grif- ifs from the first ward; J. T. Robert son from the second ward, and R. D. Smith from the third ward

MYSTERY SHIP COMING

Winnipeg, Can, Feb. S.-lnforma' tion from Ottawa Officially confirms reports that one of the much dis cussed British mystery ships" that preyed on the unsuspecting German submarines will cross the Atlantic in the spring and visit a number oi American and Canadian ports on the Great Lakes. It would be the first allied war ship to come to the lake region
 Mystery ships. carefully guarded naval secret, were built with draf' of 3 1-2 feet, making them almost i'm mune from torpedo attacks. They resemble slow going helpless tramps but carride guns of sufficient call Der to sink auy submarine afloat Because of their light draught, the loats were able to navigate the St Lawrence canals. Tentative plans, i is understood, provide that the "mys tery ship" to be sent over will carr, an interesting exhibit of naval weap ons and trophies.

DRAINAGE DISTRICTS
 LEGALLY ORGANIZED
BLACK SWAMP AND LEE-PHIL- LIPS PROJECTS WILL BE PUSH ED AT ONCE-OTHER DlS- TRIcTS ARE INCUBATiNG.

Daggett X Daggetj, attorneys, who more than year ago assisted in terested land owners in organizing the Black Swamp and the Lee-Phil- lips drainage districts, designed to reclaim the lowlands in the Black i Swamp and in the Flat Fork and Cypress bottoms, west of Marianna. have been advised by Rose, fleming way. Cantrell, Loughborough X Rose, bond attorneys of Little Rock, that the original proceedings under which the two drainage districts were or ganized were legal and that the commissioners may safely proceed with the work. The districts were organized in 1917, soon after the general assembly passed a freak drainage law intended to prohibit the creation of drainage districts in Arkansas couny east of the White river. Because of faulty wording Tn the act it was made to apply, not simply to Arkensas county, but to all of the state east of the White river At the present session of the general assembly Senator Ward in troduced and had passed bill cur ing this defect
 It is stated, however, that in spite of this law the validity of the two districts in Lee county would doubt less have been upheld had test case been taken to the supreme court but when the United States entered the war it was useless to push the projects further and they were per mitted to rest until the present time. J. B, Daggett stated yesterday morn ing that kthe engineer would imme- diately begin work on the permanent location of the two ditches and that as soon as practicable construction work would be Started.
 The Black Swamp ditch will be ten miles long. will affect 10000 acres of land and will effectively drai1 the Black Swamp bottoms. w. D. Newborn, w. P. Harris and R. Dt Jarratt are the commissioners
 The Lee-Phillips district embraces 40. .OOQ acres of land. The main ditch will be twenty-two miles long and there will be. one lateral seven miles long. The main ditch and lat teral will drain Flat Fork and Cy press. M Fl. Ford, F. N. Burke of this city. and Chester Jones of Lexa are commissioners in this district The district takes in a small section of Phillips county.
 It was stated yesterday by inter. ested parties that several other drain age districts would be organized within the next few weeks. although formal proceedings have not yet been filed with the county court,
