Gov. de Ia Huerta, Supreme Chief Of

Issues Call For Meeting

| Huerta, supreme chief of the liberal
constitutionalist government, will be
held at Mexico City, May "a for the
purpose of appointing a provisional
president of Mexico, Gen. Ignacio C.
Enriquez, candidate for governor of
Chihuahua, announced here.
Washington. - Further indications
that Pablo Gonzales and Alvaro Obre-
gon, formerly candidates for the presi-
dency and now jointly occupying Mex
leo City, are working in accord, was
contained in a report to the State De-
partment. Both have published state
ments indorsing Antonio Villareal for
provisional president
An extra session of the Mexican
Congress has been called to name a
provisional executive, who, under the
terms Of the published programme Of
the revolutionists, will supervise the
election of a president to serve until
Dec. 81, when the new president
should assume the office.
Adolfa de la Huerta, preliminary
chief of the revolution, was expected
to arrive in the capital next week and
take charge of affairs until the pro-
yisional president is named.
TIE support given VillareaPs candi
daay was one Of peculiar interest to
American officials because of its pos
sibe indication of the character OF
the proposed government.
Villareal, once governor Of the state
cf Nuevo Leon and prominent in mill
tary and political affairs during the
early part Of Carrnaza's administra-
ton, was in exile for more than three
years, living in Ell Paso, Texas. Rev
olutionary agents here declared that
during that period he had greatly
modified his previous extreme views
regarding labor and capital. 1t was
suggested, however, that his selection
as a provisional president would pre-
vent him from becoming constitutions
al president and that his tenure of OF
flee would end with the close of the
year.
Other candidates are Fernando 1gle-
sias Calderon, an attorney of the con-
servative school, prominent in the
Diaz administration, Juan Sanchez
Ancona, active in politics since his es-
pousal of the cause Of Gen. Bernardo
Reyes in 1909, and Jacinto Trevino, the
officer Obregon was reported to have
sent at the head of a mission to offer
Carranza safe conduct if he wished to
leave the country.

PRESERVE THE EGGS NOW
 WHEN PRICE IS so LOW

Last fall and winter you will re- member the high prices that had to be paid for eggs. The housekeep- CTS do not need to repeat that again next winter if she does not want to. Eggs can be preserved in water glass at a cost of about three cents a dozen.
 When preserving eggs in water glass, secure infertile eggs when- ever it is possible. The satisfaction and comfort of knowing that vou have ten, twenty or fifty dozen of gGod infertile eggs stored away for use when the price is again high is most reasspring. Try it. It does not require experience or scientific training. It is 2 very simple pro- cess and the instructions gre easily understood:

tified slips and uncertified slips is not very great. But neither the city gardner nor the commercial grower can afford to be without in- surance against sweet potato dis eases when this small difference in the price of slips will purchase it for him.
 Farmers who have bedded seed potatoes with view of raising their own slips should at least pur- chase enough certified slips this year to provide for clean seed next year. These slips should be set out in ground which has never been in sweet potatoes before. A list of growers of certified slips can be had by applying to c. c. Becker, chief inspector of the State Plant Board at Little Rock.

PLANT BOARD WARNS
 AGAINST DISEASES

Whether you are setting out a
 garden patch or whole field Tn
 sweet potatoes you can hardly af-
 ford to take the chances of setting out of diseased plants. The only
 way that Arkansas purchasers can
 protect themselves in the purchase
 of slips is to see to it that these
 plants have been certified by the State Plant Board.
 Last year both Arkansas and out of-state growers sold millions of sweet patoto plants in the state. Many thousands of these plants died before they matured a crop. If this were the end of the trouble the Arkansas purchaser would not have so much to worry about, but the worst feature in buying uncertified slips comes in the fact that they are likely to infect the soil of the field or garden with stem rot. This disease will in time spread and
 render the ground worthless or
 at any rate, unprofitable for wrow- ing sweet potatoes.
 Potato plants which have been certified on the basis of a mere plant inspection cannot be depended
 upon to be free of disease. The slips certified by the Arkansas State Plant Board must be grown from potatoes which were inspected both in the field and in the bin and
 were certified by the Board as be- ing free of disease In addition to this the seed must be disinfected and then bedded in clean soil in
 accordance with directions furnish
 ed by the board. It is only by these
 strict requirements that dependable
 certified seed can be produced. Plant growers in Arkansas and other states now have millions of
 slips which are ready to be shipped The difference in the price of cer.
