BIG FARM MEETAT
 ARDEN FRIDAY AT 3
Success of Rig Farming Program is
 Now Assured, Orders for Seed < Rolling In Daily.

What the Profitable Farming Com- mittee intend to be the best of the series of profitable farming meetings yet held, is billed for Arden, Friday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A party will leave Ashdown, going by way of Richmond, where a delegation will join them and proceed to Arden. In case of had weather party will go from Ashdown or the train.
 On account of bad roads all the meetings to have been held Sunday af- ternoon were called in except the one a. Hicks. This was one of the best .ye. held. John J. DuLaney discussed the Velvet Peans and County Agent c. M. Johnston talked on the cooperative farming plan. There was good crowd and the hearers were enthusiastic.
 Orders for seed of various kinds are being placed with the Cobb Grain Company at rapid rate. The com mittee urges that all who wish seed place their orders by the middle of the week if possible. On account of the ] city of seed and to delay is dangerous Every day of delay is likely to see an advance in price when we consider that there is Q great campaign on over the state and throughout the South.
 The committee has ordered 1,0OO copies of the Arkansas Gazette con- taining the Cottrell page on the Velve,
 bean. These copies will be mailed throughout this section, and those re. ceiving theem are requested particu- larl to read this page carefully, as il contains all the data on this new anc important feed crop. A man reading this article will at once become a con. vert.
 The committee states that there is no longer aEy question but that the campaign in this county is going to be put over It has already reached g point where success is assured, and i; only remains for everybody to get on the band wagon and make it the over whelming success that it should be with no outsiders to regret in 1926 that they had not taken, advantage oi the opportunity to double their usual feed crop.

l7-YEAR L0cUSTS ARE
 DUE HERE THIS YEAR
Great Swarms of the Pests to Visit the United States in Next
 May and June.

Washington. March 8. = Great swarms of the 17-year locust will in- feet the United States in May and early June this year, which is expected by scientists to be one of the worst locust years" on record. Experts of the Department of Agriculture. how ever, see nothing alarming in the prospect.
 Once regarded superstitiously as a hamburger of disaster, the periodical cicada, popularly known as the 17-year locust because it comes at long inter- vals, is seen now to be no more than an ordinary non-poisonous insect pest, which can do little damage if proper precautions are taken. The chief in- jury inflicted by the insect consists all most wholly in chiseling grooves in the branches of trees for depos.ting eggs. Young fruit trees sometimes are killed. but the damage generally seems greater than it actually is, according to the enomologists, and popular alarmist out of proportion to the real danger.
 Suggested precautionary measures are:
 Defer putting out young fruit trees until next year; postpone budding op- erations: do no pruning this spring.
 When the insects begin coming out hand pick them from young trees or spray them with pyrethum powder kerosene emulsions, or a solution oi carbolic acid or acetic acid
 Later, when the insects are ready to begin laying spray young fruit trees with whitewash.
 The Department of Agriculture hes kept close check for many years oi all the brOods of locusts and can fore cast accurately when and where the pests will appear. Large regions will

HUNDREDS ARE KILLED
 IN STREETS OF BERLIN
Government Troops Attnck Sparta cans Beseiging Police Headquar-
 ters; Many Spectators Shot.

Berlin, March 8. - Government troops began an atack today from all sides of the center of the city, and made brilliant progress. The attack was for the purpose of relieving police headquarters. A column from the west progressed to within a block of police headquarters in two hours.
 It is believed that the column suc- ceeded in relieving the beseiged gar rison at police headquarters, although military headquarters at 6:30 o'clocA tonight had not yet received any in- formation on that point.
 Between 200 and 300 persons were killed or wounded. The casualties were largely among spectators. Ths spectators persisted in staying to see , the fighting. The casualties among the government troops were compara- lively light.
 There was very little organized OF position by the republican guarT' and Spartacan marines. They we.n caught by surprise without efficies leadership ard were unable to chels the attack of the we'll disciplined go
 ernment forces. h The government has decided to di arm the Republican Guard and t1f Peoples Marine Guard. A strol force of government troops, includiIs
 loyal marine division and artfilel2 and mine throwers, now are marchirl
 through Inter den Lidenn to ta}N positions.
 The government took this step ne cause of -he impossibility of dist1h gushing between those who are loya and those wko are not and also be cause of the general unreliability o , the organizations.
 The two forces now number 16,00(
 men in Berlin.

WILL YOU FIT YOURSELF OR BE
FITTED WITH GLASSES?

If the man who examines your eyes
has you read letters on chart and try
to tell him when you can see best,
You are Fitting Yourself, mighty un-
certain way to get glasses.
But, if you come to me for glasses
| look into your eyes with instruments
and tell Immediately whether they are
normal or defective, and if defective
can determine exactly what lenses
are required to correct your trouble,
without asking you any questions. This
is the highest degree of skill known to
the optical world and my work should
appeal irresistably to all you folks in
my territory who wear or need glasses.
