ACTIVITY URGED ON
 AMENDMENT PETITIONS

County Examiner A. A. Parsons, Jr., reported today that Supt. J. L. Bond had advised him that only one petition had been received from Faulkner for the initiation of the amendment re- moving the limit on taxation for school purposes. A number of these petitions was distributed at the re- cent directors meeting here, and Mir. Bond is anxious that all of them shall be mailed to him at Little Rock at once, in order that the petitions may be filed. If three other amendments should be initiated before the school amendment is filed, it would be pre- cluded from submission at the next election, as the supreme court has held that not more than three constitution al amendments may be voted upon at one election.

MUST CUT COTTON
 ACREAGE |N>TW0 50 PER CENT REDUCTION First Day of Cotton Conference Indi- cate Definite and Drastic Action
 Will Be Taken.

Memphis, Dec. 8.-A determination to reduce cotton acreage 50 per cent compared with what was planted last year and demand for revival of the War Finance Corporation were the features of yesterdays conference of bankers, merchants and farmers at the Goodwin Institute. A resolution was also introduced to be presented to congress, calling on the secretary of the United States depart ment of agriculture for a special cen sus on untenderable cotton. The reso- lution was referred to committee.
 The closing session of the confer ence will be held today. A committee on resolutions and another on acreage were appointed yesterday, and the af- ternoon of today will be reserved for their reports and for general discus sion.
 Ways and means by which acreage reduction will be brought about have not been decided upon yet. Nor has it been definitely stated what amount of reduction will be undertaken. These are matters which were being thresh- ed out in committee late yesterday af- ternoon and last night. Enough is evident to indicate exclusively that the conference will not be content with less than a 50 per cent reduction in acreage, and that it will be sought to be enforced through restriction of credits, pledges from bankers. mer- chants and farmers, and through edu- cation and public sentiment.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 If you will give me space will tell you and your readers something about our visit to the different states and schools.
 The weather man gave us a treat in fair weather most of the way, and while at Fayetteville it was very bright, our dean said it was ordered direct from Washington.
 Our first visit was with the people of Missouri, at Columbia. They, as all others, entertained us royalty But we must take off our hats to the peo- pie of our own fair state.
 They met us like the father of the prodigal son, "a great way off," feast ed us on apples, delighted us with stories and met us with a band play ing music till indeed we felt at home again. We saw many fair maidens and sprightly youths, but none com pare to our boys and girls of Arkan- sas.
 shall have to omit details and give some things in general terms. We found on inqu ring that all the peo- pln were beh nd their schools of ag- riculture. Ask them why? Because they are doing something for all the people"
 The stock at all places were in ex- cellent condition, and each one had the best CD anywhere We found our school had no sheep, but it had the only goats found on the trip. The herd consisted of II nannies and a bill, of the Angora type. Our hogs were the best found anywhere. Our dairy and one at Lafayette, Ind, were self supporting. They make all kids of cheese and other milk products.
 We found each school much inter- ested in soil survey of each county, so direct information may be given to each farmer concerning the crops that VII grow on his special soil.
 About 90 per cent of the agricul- tural students go back to the farms. Some make their mark as writers for farm papers. The greatest thing in any school is a strong personality or a faculty to direct the student body in right channels, lest they make ship

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm Up.

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don It be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody's do
ing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
heved, take the remainder of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
for infants and children.-(Adv)

Wheat which has been stored in the

freezing and thawing, after sitting
snow and driving rains, will be sure to
have large percentage of the grains
entirely dead and many others so weak
that it will be impossible for them to
se2d up plants sufficiently strong to
be of much crop value.
Test your seed in blotter. It should
grow 95 per cent strong.
