ing that he was unfairly beaten for

charged that Murphy had been pub
licly fflogged at the whipping post,

rather did Murphy good than other
wise. On two occasions, after this
charge was published, he was seen
to pull off his shirt in the presence
of large crowds, where the candidates
were speaking, and exhibit his back
to the multitude. One of these occas-
ions was in the ccourt house at Wash

FARMING EFFICIENT.

Little Rock, Aug 14.-W. T. Max we'll, state bank commissioner, has returned from the Profitable Farm ing Tour in Georgia and the Caro- linas and is enthusiastic in his praise of all that he observed on the trip in the way of agricultural development.
 Everywhere we went," said MT. Maxwell, "there was every evidence of a high efficiency in farming. We were overwhelmingly convinced that a much greater yield of cotton and farm products per acre is nec- essary and possible in the state of Arkansas. We were not, only per mitted to see splendid farms with their promise of abundant yields, how we could accomplish the same but we were told in practical way results. One of the factors in the success of the Carolina and Georgia farmers is the liberal use of plant food. We had placed before us con- vincing proof of the value of pro- viding for the plants growing on our farms such fertilizers as will cause them to make the greatest possible return. The tour was worth millions to the state."

In 1916 he campaigned in 15 states fol Wilson and Marshall.

Roy, ay, notorious gambling street fol more than century, was dark ex- cept for the light from one or two all-night restaurants and Ibervill' street, long the haunt of the gamb ling clubs, was completely dark.

Warn, Housewives Against
Use Of Canning Com pOund>

| Warns Housewives Against
Use Of Canning Compound
The United States Department O
Agriculture warns housewives agains
the use Of any preservative powder
or canning compound in home canning
Their use encourages careless ant
uncleanly work, and in large amounts
they may have serious effects upor
digestion and health. II is entirely
practicable to put up fruits and veg.
ctablcs so that they will keep indefi.
nitcly by processing the products with
heat. There is no reason for risk by
the use of canning powders.
Boric or saliclic acid is the basis
of most canning compounds on the
market today. The directions on the
packages usually call for one teaspoon
of the compound to each quart of
fruit or vegetable. The use of boric
and salicylic acid, since they may be
harmful to health, is regarded by the
Department of Agriculture az a vio-
lation of the Federal Food and Drugs
Act. The laws of many States also
prohibit the sale of foods contain
ing boric or salicylic acid.
Give Boys and Girls Place at the Fair
On the shoulders Of the farm boys
and girls of today rests, in consider
able measure, the future of American
agriculture. Their success or failure
financially and their satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with their environment
is of direct Importance to the whole
country. have always been much
interested in what the boys and girls
clubs are doing to help them, and !
believe this important work should
he encouraged in every feasible way.
One of the needs Of the clubs is
more adequate housing on the State
and district fair grounds. At most
of the fairs tents are now used for
this purpose. These have proved to be
very inadequate especially when the
weather is bad. A movement is now
under way. which am very glad to
indorse, to provide Il permanent exhi-
bit building and permanent camp
for the junior farmers on every
large fair ground. This would en-
phasize the Importance of the work
these young people are doing and
make them feel that their aid in pro.
noting the interests of agriculture
through exhibits at fairs is being
properly apprcciatcd-E. T. Meredith
Secretary If Agriculture.
