ATTRACTING NOTICE {.
 IN OTHER COUNTIES
Texarkana Farmers Being Urged to Take Little River Demonstrators
 Advice About Cotton

Texarkana, Nov. 26.-(SpeciaD 1.-The farmers of this section should inves- tigate the profitableness of growing cotton that has staple value, accord ing to Geo. M Johnston, county agent for Little River county. Many false ideas are held about staple cotton, but the farmers producing staple cotton are not so seriously hurt by the pre- sent calamitous prices now being paid fo cotton
 Literally thousands of gin-run seed peddlers, are in the field, and while nothing but good seed should be plant ed, great caution should be exercised before placing orders for planting seed. The only protection possible In buying seed is to deal with seed firms or in- dividuals with established reputations who produce their own seed. i
 'fThe greatest profit in production comes from those communities grow ing one variety only A uniform sta- pie has a greater spinning value and therefore brings higher prices"
 MT Johnston's services are at the disposal of any farmer or group of farmers who are interested in the pur- chase of better seed, and he may be found at his office on Saturdays or q letter addressed to him in Ashdown, and will be given prompt attention.

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
Few People Know How Their Schools
 Rank With Others Places.

Conway, Nov 25.-(SpeciaD- D-How many citizens know just how the public school of their home town ranks or how it compares with other public schools?
 Few if any. and it is to supply this information that the extension depart ment of the Arkansas State Normal school has undertaken surveys of pub lie school work wherever the superin- intendent or patrons request. Stan dard educational tests are the yard stick against which the work of each school is measured, and the result shown so that it is readily understood A large number of public schools in the state are being given the test by their own faculties with the assistance of the State Normal's capable educa- tors and their rank scientifically de- termined. N" '
 The making of surveys is an innova- tion in Arkansas public school educa- tion and one which is destined to be- come immensely favored by educa- tors and public alike It involves practically no expense to the schools making the survey, instructions being furnished free by the State Normal School and the test blanks for testing a school in all branches costing less than three cents per pupil. A member of the faculty of the Normal School is sent out when required to assist in getting the work started. Prof. c. O.. Denny of the Department of Education is making trips now to several schools for this purpose, and work is being pushed at rapid rate. 4 @8eN 'se'r
 Schools in Arkansas which wish such surveys to be made should communi- cate with the extension department of the Normal School and arrangements promptly made.

NEW PLAN OUTLINED
New Plan Outlined for Pig Club
 Work.

Fayetteville, Nov 26.-(Specian A rroject which will undoubtedly be- ti ir'erest to boys in pig club wor;, hes hoer effected by w. A. Jones, county agent and the banks of Poinsett coun- ty.
 MT. Owens has made arrangements with the nine banks of the county whereby each has agreed to finance 10 boys in purchasing purebred pigs, with the understanding that each boy who buys pig must raise an acre of corn also to feed it. The boy and his father must sign an agreement to cooperate with the county agent and the banks carrying out the plan. According to this plan Poinsett countp will have 90 rurebred pigs and 90 acres of corn owned by club boys. @
 As reward for the boys efforts each bank has agreed to send one boy out of 10 who does the best work to the short course at Fayetteville next sum- mer. This will give Poinsett county nine boys at the short course.
 But the trip to the short course is not the only prize offered by this plan. Next fall two fairs will be held in Poinsett county. At one of these fairh 40 boys will exhibit their 40 pigs and ten ears of corn each. At the other fair the remaining 50 boys will show their 50 pigs and 10 ears of corn each. The boy making the best record in each district will be given a free trip to the International Livestock show at Chic ago. according to present plans. How ever other prizes may be offered in stead of the trip to Chicago.
 w. J. Jernigan, state club leader, is submitting the plan as worked out by MT. Owens to the other county agents and is asking them if similar plan cannot be perfected in their countp Such a plan may be worked out with the banks of the counties to finance ei- ther pig, calf or sheep clubs. In any ease it would mean good live stock, good corn and lot of free trips to big fairs and the short course.
 This plan will not in the least in- terfere with the plan of club organiza- tion which sent out in another circu- lar," says MT. Jernigan. "The plan submitted by MT. Owens is project work while that which is outlined in circular 92 is on organization.

SHORTAGE OF CLERKS
Clerks and Sterlographers Are Very
 Scarce in JUS Work.

Washington, Nov. 26.-One might To- gically conclude that owing to the de- crease in government contracts since the, war that Washington would be flooded with surplus of clerks and stenographers. This is not true in the case of stenographers and typists for the government service is sending out an s. o. s. for more of them. The civil service commission has asked all other governmental departments to assist in recruiting both men, and women to meet the steady demand.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the government forces are reducing there IS a constant and urgent need for ele- gibles who are trained in stenography and typewriting. The civil service commission says that it sees no pros pect that the present urgent demand will grow less. Promotion to higher salaried positions is constantly leav- ing vacancies in the stenographic forces.
 Several thousand young men and women who went into government ser vice during the war before completing their education are now adopting Washington os their home and are get ting their education in addition to holding their positions. Schools and colleges in the city have arranged to give their various, courses at times suitable to attendance by the govern ment employees and they are finding the plan to work admirably.

WORDING IS CHANGED
 IN SCHOOL PETITION
Wording of Proiosed Schools, Tax Amendment Changed After Ap-
 PrOval of Educational Body.

Fort Smith, Nov. 25.-Blank petition forms for the proposed constitutional amendment on schools were received in Fort Smith yesterday morning from the state department of education.
 As officially proposed, the amend ment would differ in some important details from the measure submitted and passed upon by the citizens sec tion of the Arkansas Educational as- sociation, meeting Nov. 10 at Little Rock.
 For example the severance tax on natural resources has been eliminated and section 4. beginning All lands TOW owned or that may be acquifed by the state of Arkansas, and the pro- ceeds arising from the sale therefrom, shall be held in trust for the perma- nent school fund.-" has been entirely rewritten. On the face of this, even the state capital grounds would have been placed in the school funds
 As rewritten, section of the amend ment provides that "the general as- sembly may authorise state school of- ficers to apportion the state school funds among the several counties of the state, so as to most nearly give equality of educational opportunity, but county and district school funds shall be expended only in the county in which raised.
 This would have the effects of do- ing away with the system of appor- tiOning school funds on a per capita basis, and it is said that the proposed plan is to arrive at ai"norm'' basis on theRtost of maintaining school room as the apportionment unit. Thus, a country school with one teacher would receive say $50 month, and Fort Smith. with 150 teachers, would be paid $7,5OO a month out of the school funds. fIs
 The same section would allow dis trict school funds to be expended any, where within county, as it now pro- hibited under the constitution. This would enable district without a, high school to pay tuition in a high school in the county for it's advanced stu dents.
 Section makes clear what provis- iens would be repealed by the propos- ed constitutional amendment ~
 As incorporated in the petton in itiated by the state board of educa- tion, the proposed amendment is as follows:
 "That sections one, two, three and four of article fourteen of the consti- tuition of the state of Arkansas and amendments number eight and twelve be amended so as to read as follows:
 Section 1. The state shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a general, suitable and efficient sys- tenn of free public instruction.
 Section ?. There shall be three ad' ministrative and taxing units fol school purposes, namely: State county and district.
