The lime will be spread at the rate of four tons to the acre this winter and the alfalfa planted in the spring.
 MT. Felton cultivates his land at small cost, as he makes use of plen- ty of mule power. He prefers two mules hitched to a cultivator that will work row at a time and is operated by one man and two mules, two men and two double shovels or Perry cultivators that must run around the row two or three times to cultivate the middle. Another factor in his success is the economical handling of livestock, which is made possible by his splen- did pastures. In addition to his inexpensive methods of growing crops and livestock, he lives at home and to a considerable extent avoids the high cost of living that bears so heavily on the all-coton farm CT.
 That he is successful is attested by his home, equipped with modern conveniences, and the general air of prosperity that prevades his place.

REFRESHING

Tn opening his campaign at Scar ev last Saturday, Hon. T. C. Me Rae pitched his campaign on high plane and discussed issues Tn a manner becoming a gentleman and a stateman. He pointed out the abuses in our state government and gave the remedy, devoid of person. alities and mud-slinging and once more elevates a gubernatoriai con test as a test of strength between gentlemen. It is refreshing to know that some of the candidates for gov ernor are capable of going before the people and discussing matters of state without having to lower their dignity and presuming on the ignorance of the people to carry them thru a practice of late years that has almost brought the state to the verge of ruin. The candidate for governor whose ideas of states manship does not rise above his ability to sling mud and become the carrion crow of dirty personal politics, is no fit man for governor. We have burning vital issues of state that are far and above the personal spleen and ambition of any man or ring of men, that require ability and statemanship to handle, and if we do not get such man pretty soon Arkansas will rue the day. It has been a long time since we have had a governor who did not go into office on his ability to sling more filth and slime than his opponent, and on that level the governors office is being run to- day.
 If the people of Arkansas ever expect to get out of the mess they are in, they must elect governor who is big enough and broad enough to take under his wing every citizen of the state, and statesman enough to govern wisely and we'll. How many in the present race are capable of doing this? Is it not fact that most of them are being backed by cliques and rings? This is true for they make this charge against each other themselves and none of them

JANIN TOLD K0LCHAk TO
 SURRENDER
Sensation Caused By Re port Admiral Had Given
 Up.

London, Jan 2s-Admiral Kol- chaks surrender to Siberian revolu- tionists was authorized by General Janin of the Czecho-SIovak army who was placed in command of all al- lied troops west of Irkutsk on Jan 19, by Kalchak's order, says a liar bin despatch.
 A profound sensation was caused port that Kolchak had given up, says the message, which was filed at liar, bin on Monday, and one Russian gen. era1 has challenged General Janin 70 a duel, while officers under the com mand of General Semenoff have formed a league, the slogan of which Is:
 Have Janin's blood" General Ja- nin's explanation is awaited, hut 1t is known that Czech reports on the s1t- uation ut Irkutsk which have been autographed to General Janin at VzI- khnie-Udinsk induced him to consent. to Kolchak's surrender. The Czechs claim the choice lay between srpren- dering one man and a, conflict in which they were likely tc be completely an initiated.
 Japanese representar1res asked the Czechs to hand KoIchak over to the Japanese but this request was refused. Later the revoluHonists rejected a similar demand and said he would not be turned over until he had been tried before a court martial. All railroed and telegraph communication between Verkhnie- -Udinsk and V1adivos<ok has been suspended, the despatch says.

 On Strike In Bos- Boston FOOD STRINGENCY
 MAY BE RESULT

Boston, Jan. 29-It was impossible carload through terminals of the Boston & Albany and the Boston & Maine railroads in this city today be- cause of the strike 1900 freight handlers begun yesterday. Carload shipments were not affected, being loaded or unloaded by the shippers or the consignees, but the embargoes declared by the railroad caused de- tention on sidingS of many cars Of perishable and other goods for local merchants, and prevented mixed shipments to other parts of New Eng land.
 The possibility of a food stringency as a result of the strike has been considered by Chairman Sherburne of the State Commission on necessar- ies of life and he said today that he had taken the matter up with the railroad administration. The com mission will intervene if necessary to insure an adequate supply of nee essaries. General Sherburne said he was watching the situation closely to determine whether it would be neces- sary to "step in.
 Food stores now in hand are ade~ uuate for several weeks, and with car load lots moving there is thought to be no CSuse for alarm at the present time.

German Governments S Concern Over Extrad-
 ition Growing. WOULD REFUSE TO
 SURRENDER MEN

Berlin, Jan. 28-Indications of the governments growing concern over the extradition of Germans accused of war of lenses was given in the note sent to the allies today asking revision of clauses of the Yer sailles treaty.
 The attempted assassination of Ma thias Erzberger, Minister of Finance, last Monday, is viewed in official circles as precursor of what is likely to happen on a larger scale if the government, yielding to the Allies, appeals to force in arresting ! men on the list submitted by the En- tente powers Editorial andS partisan i recriminations, provoked by the at- tack on the finance minister have al- ready reached the white heat stage While it has been commonly known i that Wilhelmstrasse would use all its l persuasive power in an effort to in- | duce the Allies to desist in their avoweS purpose of demanding the | surrender of Germans, the shots aim-
 ed at Herr Erzberger have made the 1 cabinet more apprehensve than il
 has been at any other time relative 1 to the enforcement of the extraditior l clauses.
 1 The note to the allies, which vii i not be published in Germany, warn: 1 the entente powers that Germany l cannot assuffle she is able to compe 1 either national or local agencies o- 1 the law to lay hands on the mer [ +aI +o
 frontiers. The Associated Press t 1 informed that even responsible off 1 cials of the foreign office have an 1 nounced point blank they would re i fuse to execute any work connected with extradition formalities and tha they threaten to strike or indulge T l passive resistance"
 1 A leading official of the foreign office
 expressed doubt today that a mar
 could be found in Germany, from al army or navy commander down to ( humble village deputy, 'who would lend himself to the work of execut ling a warrant for the arrest or deten ton of fellow countrymen who are tt be dragged before a foreign tribunal 1 Suggestion is male in the note that
 the men wanted are to be tried by tht supreme court at Leipsig and in thi: part of the communication the cab met has indicated it's belief that th' nations highest tribunal could guar antee an exhaustive and impartia trial It is pointed out that the allie!
 are given representation on the bencf
 of the supreme court which should
 further the end to guarantee a fai- trial.
 1 The economic situation in German. | is precarious at present and this Is al 1 unsuitable period to invite trouble l the note indicates, continuing to poin
 out that trouble. if 1t comes, will no be confined to any single party.
 "The whole nation is likely to g on a general strike,'' an official de
 clared today while discussing the gov
 ernment's plight if it is coerced int
 even making a feint in the direction of appreh ending the men wanted. l
 is definitely stated that no list o 1 names of men whose extradition vii 1be demanded has yet been received

 REPLY AMOUNTS
 T0 REFUSAL
Asks Permission To Make Some Suggestions To
 Allies.

Paris, Jan. 29-The text of the Jugo SIav reply to the allied ultima tum on the Adriatic question, made public today, shows. as was stated yesterday, that it amounted to a re- fusaI to accept the compromise off, fered by the Italians, but that in courteous terms it asked permission to lay before the powers some sugges- tions for alteration which it consides necessary to secure stability in the region surrounding the Adriatic.
 "As regards the proposal itself" says one paragraph of the note ''the royal government is obliged to ob- serve that it cannot accept it in it's entirety, and the government counts on the spirit of justice and equity of the powers party to the communica- ton of January 20 to permit it to submit to them notifications imposed by the necessity of assuring peace in the Adriatic.''
