Columbia County Bankers
 CO=Operate with Farmers

Fayetteville, Dec. 14.-(SpeciaD - Another instance of where bankers and business men are eager to cooperate with the county farm agents and the Agricultural Extenson Division of Ar kansas in big way is shown by re- port of Harry F. Kapp, district farm agent of southwest Arkansas.
 The Farmers Bank and Trust Com pany of Magnolia this fall proposed a plan to County Agent c. A. Overstreet of Columbia county, whereby they could cooperate with the farmers of the county in improving agriculture through the use of fertilizer in in creasing soil fertility, good seed selec- tion, farm accounting and records of cost of reduction.
 The bank has agreed to furnish to each of 20 farmers in Columbia coun- ty one ton of fertilizer each year for five years, beginning in 1921 with the
 
 CTS use the fertilizer on nve acres of ground to be selected as near the pub lie road as possible; that they culti- vate the ground to be selected as near the public road as possible; that they cultivate the ground under the direc- tion of the county agent, using such crops as the county agen, and the farmers shall agree upon; that the farmer use seed satisfactory to the bank and to the farmer; that the farm CTS follow the instructions of the coun- ty agent explicitly, keeping a record of work done by teams and all expen- ditures of cultivation and harvesting; !; and that the land subject to washing and erosion that is not now terraced be terraced.
 The Farmers Bank and Trust Com pany will furnish the fertilizer free O cost to the farmers who comply witt the above provisions. If the farmer fails to confirm to the plans for the five years then he must pay TOT the fer tilized himself. A reguIar legal con- tract which is binding to both the banker and the farmer has been made and County Agent Overstreet says he had no difficulty whatever in securing the requisite number of 20 farmers to carry out the tests.
 To carry out the plan MT. Overstreet has prepared complete crop plan for the entire period of five years. The fertilizer will be used in various quan- titles on the five acres of each farmer

The statute of Liberty. in New York

rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally, however. the idea was
to make it serve as beacon, and for
this purpose the "flame" of the lady'S
torch was cut at the sides. the open
ings fitted with glass. and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained a light which.

niles out at sea, or ten miles beyond
the anchorage of the outside light
ship. Its maintenance was assigned
to the government lighthouse board.
Bat the lighthouse board declared
thai 1t had little or no usefulness as
an aid to navigation, its value being
purely sentimental, and In 1902 the
light was extinguished. the business
of illuminating the statue being hand
ed oyNr TO the war department.

tude. In 1854 congress had repealed the
Missouri Compromise and substituted
for II the Kansas-Nebraska act, which
provided that each territory should de-
eide for itself for or against slavery
and whether to enter the Union as
free territory or free state. Douglas
was the author Of this measure-"Pop-
ular Sovereignty" he called it.
After this Chicago expression OF dis
approval of Douglas events moved
rapidly. The next year civil war broke
out in Kansas between the slavery and
non-slavery factions. In 1857 the bred
Scott decision in effect held that slaves
were property and the owners Of slaves
could take them into any territory and
hold them there. no matter what the
wishes of the people of the territory
in question. This decision was the di-
rect opposite of Douglas popular SOW
ereignty doctrine. 1t opened the way
for the extension of slavery to the
North and West.
Early in 1858 began the campaign In
which the issue was the election of a
successor to Senator Douglas. through.

legislature Douglas, of course, had no

Douglas and Lincoln competed In the
courts. They were rivals for the hand
