FARM LABORERS
HAVE GOOD YEAR
Wage Rates Reach High Mark in 1919.
Some Figures Given.

Washington, Feb. 7.-tAt NO time
have the wage rates Of farm labor been
as high in this country as they were
in 1919. certainly as far back as 1866,
when the first investigation of this
subject was made by the United States
department of agriculture. Averages
for the United States arc in mind, in
the compilation of present figures, and
not local rates. For labor hired by the
month with board, the average rate
was $39.S2, and among the geographic
divisions the rate was as low as $3054
| in the South Atlantic and as high as
| $6296 in the Western, including the
Mountain and Pacific states. Without
board, the average for the United
States was 5000, and the lowest was
and the highest $S7l2 in the Western.
Extras, such as hrewood, milk, etc,
are not included
Harvest wages per day with board
reached the top figure OF $4.4S in the
| North Central states west Of the Mis-
Sissippi river and the lowest, $2.2S, in
the, South Atlantic, and the average
for the United states was $3.15. With
out board the average for the United
States was $3.50.
Statements in similar form for day
wages for work outside Of harvest
with board, make the United States
average $2.45, that of the North Cen
trail states, west of the Mississippi
river, 1922 and of the South Atlantic
sl.S5.
While the lowest farm wages arc in
the South Atlantic states and next to
the lowest in the South Central states,
est percentage of gain in rates in 1919
over 1918 among all the groups of
states, was in the latter group and
that next to the greatest gain was in
the former group.
In the farming operations Of 1913
in this country crops were produced

Columbia, Feb. 9.-The select leg
islative committee of the house and
the senate for the preparation of i'm
proved highway legislation has COM
pleted it's work and its bill is now be-
ing typed by the engrossing depart
ment and will be introduced into the
general assembly when it convenes
next week.
The length of the bill has prevented
the engrossing department from COM

finished tits work yesterday, and it
hardly will be completed in time to be
given it's first reading next Monday
night when the legislature reconvenes
but more than likely it will be intro

The bill provides for dual system
of state and county highways, but is
silent as to the materials which shall
constitute the roads. 1t provides that
the state highway department shall
construct system of state highways

lFINDs PETRIEaEp HEART

Batesville, Oct. 25.-.A mining man living in Batesville recently discovered curiosity on his mining property while sinking a shaft for the location of manganese, when he dug up a petrified heart about the average size ofuthe human heart. The heart was perfect,in shape and has the appearance of coaguiated blood on one side, while on the other it shows a clearyiTed surface, and near the top there appears two gashes indicative of wounds. 0w- ing to the depths at which the curio was found, it is thought that it may be the heart of an Indian, who perhaps was murdered in this sec ton of the Ozarks years ago, when the Indians tribes occupied this country.

LITTLE ROCK LETTER


 [ Little Rock, Oct. 25.-An analy- sis of the census returns of 1920 reveals an interesting fact. The in crease for the decade, 176,546, is the smallest increase since that for the decade of 1S60-70, which was only 49,O21. This was the smallest increage since territorial days, which was die to the uncertain and un- stable conditions under Reconstruc- ton. The increase for 1S50-60 was much larger than that of the nast ten years, having been 225,553.
 One of the plans that has been suggested for raising funds for the maintenance of our public schools is any increase in the poll tax from S1 to $5. This proposition will probably come before the next ses- sion of the legislature, and should

 There is. Strong wave of pop ular sentiment in favor of the adops tion f1the Supreme Court amend ment. The members of the Su- preme Court, in an~address recently, called attention to the fact that ''the court is overburdened with work and the judges arec, under a strain day and night to keep up with the docket.',~ The proposaI, is endorsed by Col. McRae, democratic nominee for goverqior, -in the fof- lowing letter:
 Replying to youi. favor in sfefer- ence to Amendment No. 1 } 'provfd- ing for the increase of the member ship, of the Supreme Court from five to seven judges, you are advised that in my opinion this amendment should be adopted. The platform upon which I am nominated com mits the party to this. amendment and I personally favor the increase of the number of judges,
 IsThe Constitution of 1874 pro vided for Supreme Court of three judges, when we had only eleven Circuit Courts and no Chancery Courts, with the further provision that when the, population of the state reached one million, the leg islature might increase the number of judges from three to five. Act ing under this authority, the legis- lature of 1889 provided for two additional judges. Since that time the population of the state has in creased more than three quarters of million and the work of the court has doubled Any case, no matter how, small the amount in- voived, may be appealed directly to :.th eeouit from any of the 21 Circuit Courts and any of the l2 Chancery Courts, and it is impeTa- tive that cases be decided promptly. This amendment provides that the legislature may increase the number of judges to seven, and think the prompt administration of justice will be promoted by it's adoption"
 Viewing the game from the side lines, the Democratic party of Ar, kansas is being highly entertained by the antics of the divided opposi- tion. The Republicans have two candidates in the field for governor one white and one colored. The contest appears to be not whether they are able to outvote the Demo crats, which no one for a minute eontemplates, but whether the Lilly 1 Whites will be able to hold then own numerically against the 'Oei Blacks" The negro wing of the party has declared it's purpose oi rolling up Q heavier vote than the Lilly White" Both candidates arc ] in the field and the Democrats, SC

Turns to
Old-Tinne Ideas

French dressmakers are turning
their attention to old-fashioned mate
rails as well as to old-timc designs.
This is evinced, notes a Paris fashion
writer, in the showing of spring and
summer models in Paris. Never be-
fore has taffeta, very o,d-rashioncd
material enjoyed such a long and pro-

Fabric makers are improving taf
feta. The only real objection to it
in times gone by was that its
stiffness made difficult the task Of
evolving graceful models. Now taf-
feta is being made thin and soft
like satin, some Of it having a highly
glazed surface Then it is being EN-
b, dcred i'm various ways. Especially
interesting among the new tafrctas is
one that has coin dot embroidered
in bright colors.
Paris is adopting these new tafrctas,

are being made of this fabric. A frock
