We learn that ON last Thursday Il
man by the name of CoSs, farmer
who was hauling lumber with yoke
of oxen near the halfway house on
the Green Bay road, was accidentally
drowned in the Neshoto river. 1t seems
that Mr., Coss drove his oxen into the
river for the purpose of watering them
but they went in too far, and during
his efforts to turn them back the wagon
uncoupled, and as the unfortunate man
could not swim, sank almost immedi-
ately Mr.. Edward Nachtway was close
at hand when the accident occurred
and rendered all the assistance he
could to rescue the drowning man, and
came near losing his own life in the
heroic efforts, but his labort we're in
vain.

THE HIGH COLLARD ROOSTER

The High Collard Rooster is getting back into Arkansas politics. For several years he has been almost an extinct species of the bird that rul- ed the roost, but he is beginning to show himself, and occasionally he struts around to show his plumagc and to impress his importance upon others.
 4 high collared rooster in Arkan- sas politics is the fellow who thinks he is the "cock of the walk" and that he is fitted above other men to march at the head of the procession, and is sue orders for the rest of mankind.
 The high collared rooster lives in an atmosphere unto himself. He usu- ally thinks the Lord cut him out for a special pattern, and endowed him with peculiar gray matter which He has beneficially withheld from the rest of creation.
 EhS q ldlC hC io fdSciI anu lives above his fellow-men. He has ideas that soar above the common un- derstanding and his acts are in keeping with his ideas. In other words he is the aristocrat of the realm to whom the common herd is expected to pay homage.
 The high collard rooster in power is a hard taskmaster He asks no quarter nor does he give any. His sympathy is wholly for himself and his kind and what energy he has is directed to his narrow channel.
 What Arkansas needs most now Is a leader of the old dominecker vari- ety who can adapt himself to all con- ditions and circumstances and take the entire brood under his wing. It needs a leader who can put his ear to the ground and hear the heartbeat of the humblest citizen, and who will respond to his signal of distress There are such men in Arkansas and they are great leaders and around them the people should rally.-Steph- ems News.

HATCH CHICKS EARLY

This is the time of year when ev- erybody should be busy matching chicks It Is the early matched pull cts that will pay the feed bills next winter. If this is done the chicks can be grown out normally and will commence laying early enough in the fall to be profitable. If on the other hand, they are matched in May and early June, they will not lay until the first of the year, and at this time the price of eggs is usually on the de cline. It is different with the Medi- terranean Class. They can be matched as late as the first of June and then start laying in November. This will give them five months to develop. However, it is advisable to hatch ev- erything before the middle of May.
 Another reason for early matching is that flyers and broilers sell at g much higher price early in the sum- mer. If you hatch early, you can get the top price for your broilers before the market is flooded, as it is in Aug ust and September.
 Chicks matched in February, March and April will grow out and develop much faster than those matched in May and June. The heat retards the growth, so hatch early and have early broilers, fryers, and layers. It will mean a greater profit.

The Cotton Farm
 ers' Cow

The farmer who grows so much cotton that he has no room for COW is neglecting a chance to make some easy money.
 If he would follow the advice of the American Cotton Association, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use carefully selected seed and ferti- lize highly
 He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre, thereby main taining the standard of supply, but reducing the net cost per pound;
 He would have left acreage on his farm to keep COWS, to raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
 These would feed his family ard give him enough extra cash so that he could get for his cotton fair and equitable price
 Many sections of the South are finding freedom from the all-cottcn system with it's poverty and priva- tions, by keeping cows and diversity ing their crops. These farmers bank their cotton money as pure velvet.
 This bank, first, last and all the time, is for the program of better cotton, higher prices, diversified crops-and more money for all.

REASON FOR PROSPERITY

"Why is the state of California securing millions of
capital for the development of her public utilities? Not
only from her citizens but millions coming from
outside and foreign investors for building her great hydro
electric plant"
''Why are the banking interests of California soidly
back of the various utility enterprises that we'll man
aged in compliance with state laws and under public di-
rection and regulation There reason and it is of
profound interest to all other states
W because the safety of public utility securities is
assured by intelligent and progressive state policies out
lined and carried into effect by the state railroad commits
sion-inteligent regulation guaranteeing earnings and
adequate reserve funds
"That is what has insured an open market with gen
era investors for California stocks and bonds of street
railway and gas water, light and power as we'll as tele
phone company popertes-a state guaranty of security
stability and freedom from meddng political demagogy
The above opinions are expressed by Cyrus Peirse
head of one of the firms selling western utility securities
In address before the last Bankers Association
Lake Tahoe, Mr.. Peirce made this statement
"The high credit that is enjoyed by the California
Public Utility Companies largely due to the courage and
strong backbone of the Caifo MA Railroad Commission
which since the beginning Of financial troubles has
stood firm without regard to public clamor and has de-
termned that the California Public Utilities should at
any cost be kept not only solvent but in good financial
condition, and has had the courage and willingness to
raise the rates to appoint sufficient aid to that
dltlOn do not believe that the public generally realizes
what this State to this Commission for it's action in
this regard during the last three years of financial string
ency They have established precedent for future mem
bers of this body that cannot be disregarded"
incidentally the commission has set business preced-
ens which other states must follow they secure money
for public utility development.

STATE SOCIALISM

There has been tremendous expansion of state So
cialism
Old-age pensions, a truly socialistic doctrine have
been increased from 12,425,821 pounds to 25,974OOO
pounds The grants to the coal miners amount to 15
100000 pounds The coast of the insurance feature of
the government has risen from 5000 900 pounds to IT,
100000 pounds The expenditures of the Ministry of
Labor which cover the does paid the unemployed have
advanced from little than 100000 pounds to al
most 26,O0O0OO pounds. The bread subsidy which is
given to enable the farmers to pay the increased wages
granted farm labor is 100000 pounds and the hous-
ing subsidies are more than 100000 pounds; and
pound on the day this is written is worth So. .68.
Now these huge sums spent for the carrying out
OF state socalistic doctrines. Parliament fixes wages
and grant subsidies to pay the wages Subsidies are
made for house building Wages are guaranteed to coal
miners and railway employees. The building subsidies
keep up the high wages of the building trades and so on
meantime the English people taxed to provide all
these vast sums. All this is state socialism
Due to sociaistic schemes involving government
ownership and operation of various industries and activ
Ties Englands floating debt has to the enormous to-
tai OF 6OOO,OOOOO0. The people are now refusing to
subscribe for housing bonds of public house building pro-
grams and also for treasury bonds
The argument that the government should do as
much for its people for its animals is met by the state
ment that the people, not being animals and being the
government should be able to do things for themselves
Let's keep in the u S. and steer clear of state
and government socialism and hold down taxes in this
country

ment to the subjects which undertakes to regulate and
of the recognition of the fact that the credit of these car
rers on which their ability perform their essential pub
lie service depends is matter of profound and vital pub
lie concern and must out of regard for the public wei
fare be dealt with reasonable and sound business prn
cipes. It remains to give the system fair
trial.
Not only is the Transportation Act now on trial. Mr.
Thorn declared but also the nerstate Commerce Commits
son organized labor the various state commissions and
the carriers themselves
'The carriers trial. because effort has been
made to extend to them help of substantial character IN
the performance of their public duties, and public opinion
will hold them to astrc accountability for the fidelity and
efficiency with which these duties are performed.
The carriers, Mr.. Thorn added, ''must be keeny alive
to their own responsibilities and must se to the Level
of their enlarged opportunities and their obligations
from the standpoint of the public right and welfare"
