Changes in prospects in different localities of the state are quite mark ed. The Northern, Northeastern, and Central-Eastern districts have inn proved, while the West-central, which led in July, has dropped back nine points. Deterioration in the Fifth district, the central part of the state averages 3 points, while in the south west it is points, in the south cen- tral 12 points, and in the southeast it is 6 points.
 Naturally the greatest complaint of boil weevil damage comes from the three Southern districts, though there is some considerable complaint from Lonoke county in the eastern from Hampstead and Miller counties in the Southwest, Cleveland, Columbia and Union in the South, and practical ly all of the counties in the south east, with Chicot apparently most affected. Some reports estimate the damage since July at 25, 30 and in one case from Clark County, even 40 percent Nearly all of the reports From these southern sections say there will be no top crop. These pCssimistic reports are offset to scme extent by optimistic reports from the same localities, which speak of the crop being good but for slight boil weevil damage. The percentage of those mentioning boil weevil dom age has increased from 13 per cent in July to 20 per cent on August 20
 Complain of Shedding
 As might be expected, shedding is complained of great deal, especially in territory most affected by boil weevil; however it is not mentioned in reports received from 21 out of 75 counties in the state. The most ia vorable conditions in this respect ap- parently exist in Northeastern and Eastern Arkansas and in five of the counties of southwest Arkansas.
 Grass worm and army worm dam- age have apparently subsided, though there is still some scattering com plaints from this source. Blight seems to be more or less prevalent in Franklin, Johnson, Pope and Yell counties in Western Arkansas, which counties also complain of rust. Rust also seems to be prevalent in South central Arkansas, particularly in Co., lumbia and Nevada counties.
 The Statistican makes this explan- ation: While the condition figures for August are two points lower than for July, the forecast is larger, be- cause as the season approaches ma turity the normal or full figure for yield of lint per acre is raised. The August figure is 257 pounds per acre as compared with 235 in July, and 75 per cent of 257 pounds is 192 pounds

]. Stanley Webster's majority for
congress in this district passed the
5000 mark, and that is something
marvellous when it is considered the
desperate and INSCRIPTIONS efforts
that his opponents made during inc
campaign to encompass his defeat. TIE
handsome vote shows that the bulk
of the people believe in fair play and
are not ready to turn the government
over to, the dictation of any single
class of people. Mr.. Webster has won
the friendship and confidence of every
man who believes that governments
are instituted for all the people, by
his courage in standing for his con-
victions in the face of threats. Mr.
Webster's election is certain to fol- Nv
his nomination, and then the Fifth
district of Washington will be repre-
scented by one of the brightest men in
congress.

Here is an item that was not man
ufactured by the capitalists which
goes tn show to what lengths the non
partisan party will go in the work OF
propoganda. This item is taken from
the Fargo On. d. Courier-News, and
appeared as an advertisement: want
ed-Nonpartisan high school teacher
and one for the It'll and Sth grades. L.
G. Greene, clerk, Bergen, N. d. Now
what do you think of party that VIII
pollute the public schools for the pur-
nose of installing the obnoxious doc
trines of a political party into ia
minds of children? What cry OF IN
dignant protest would go up If repuo-
lican or democrat school OFFICIALS
would advertise for and employ teach
ers of one or the other political faith.
Such straws 60 to prove that the non
partisan party, or the leaders and die
tators of that party, want to place
America in the same category with
Russia. OF course a party founded up
on such narrow principles cannot ex-
list for any length of time, as there
are too many safe and sane people IN
America, but where it can gain power
il can work much mischief and the
voters of this state should snow the
third party under so deep that it can
never be resurrected.

Gov. Cox, the democratic candidate
for president. by exaggeration and
Misrepresentation, has endeavored to
lead the thoughts of the people away
from the important issues of the day
by charging republicans with the use
of an enormous slush fund. These
statements have been proven to be
false, yet fearing to meet the issues of
the campaign Mr.. Cox continues to
reiterate charges that have no foun-
dalton. The fact is. that no campaign
can be carried on nowadays without
the expenditure of vast sums of mon
ey for perfectly legitimate purposes.
All parties spend all of the money they
can get hold of. and are almost always
short of necessary funds. Publicity

quires tons upon tons of literature to
reach those inhabitants. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars are spent
in advertising. This work requires the
employment of an army of clerks.
Speakers must be engaged and this
expense met. Why, the postage alone
requires small fortune and with the
abnormal cost of labor and material
it requires an immense sum to carry
on campaign. Why, in this state
alone the primary campaign must have
cost candidates thousands of dollars,
and no charge can be made that any
of the candidates spent money other
wise than in legitimate manner. I'm
der the primary system party and its
successful individual candidates must
double the expense that formerly at
tached to an election. That is one of
the features of the primary election
that is arousing much opposition to
the law, for a man of moderate means
cannot possibly hope to contend for
the office. If the cost Of conducting
this dual campaign in single state

JAPAN MAY NOT TAKE
 TROOPS FROM SIBERIA
Insists Military Program is One of Defense, Not
 Offense.

Tokio, Jan. 26, (By The Associated Press) Major General Tanaka, min :ster ef war, in reply to an interpella- ton in the lower House of parlia- ment today by Baron Sakatani, for mer minister of finance and at pres cnt jnanci;l advisor to China said he could not state that the Japanese expeditionary forces would be with drawn from Siberia after the with drawal Of the Czecho-Slovaks.
 Major Gen. Tanaka and Vice Ad- miral kato, minister of the navy, both insisted that Japan's military program be left unchanged after peace. because it intended for self defense and not for aggression.
 Viscount Uchida, the foreign min- ister, speaking with regard to the sit uation in Siberia, said negotiations between Japan and America were proceeding in a most friendly man her. He pointed out that in some quarters the opinion had been eX- pressed that the note of the American government concerning despatch of Japanese endorsements to Siberia was insulting Japan. Such opinion, the foreign minister asserted, was en- trely groundless.
 Replying to an interpolation con- corning China, Viscount Uchida said that Japan's policy aimed to promote friendship between the two countries by assisting in bringing about com promise between the factions of northern and southern China, for which a mutual understanding by both peoples was necessary.
 Speaking on the Russian situation, Viscount Uchida declared the Allies did not intend to recognize the Bol- sheviki. That was 8 question of the utmost importance to Japan he as. serted
