TEACHER SHORTAGE
 HAND|CAPS COUNTY

The shortage of teachers is becom- ing serious in Faulkner county and threatens to handicap the educational system of the county, according to County Examiner A. A. Parsons, who is here from Mt. Vernon today
 During the past winter I have had to issue temporary permits to teach to eight or 10 persons, some of whom frankly admitted that they could not pass the examination for license,' Prof. Parsons said. This was done at the request of directors who ad- vised me that it would otherwise be necessary to close the school"
 Prof. Parsons attributes the short age to the fact that almost every per son competent to teach is able to earn higher salaries in some other line of work. As one means of relieving the situation he favors an amendment to the school laws which will permit the issuance of licenses according to the grade of work to be done in schools, primary, intermediate and high school. "A teacher of primary grades, for instance" he said, "is never call ed upon to teach algebra, yet 1 have known cases where an applicant who was well qualified for primary teach ing could not pass the examination in algebra

LITTLE FERTILIZER
 IS NOT PROFITABLE
Mir. COttrelI, Agriculturist, Urges Use of At Least POO Pounds tO
 the Acre

An appeal to Arkansas farmers to 1 this year use 200 pounds to the acre of the fertilizer that their lands needs is made by H. M. Cottrell, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce.
 Most Arkansas farmers think that it does not pay to use comercial ferti- lizer," says Mir. Cottrel. "The reason that they think so is because they put on too small a quantity to the acre. If q cotton grower had large, strong mule that he was working hard and fed him three ears of corn only a day and no other grain, the mule would soon be too weak to do much work and the farmer could truthfully say that the extra work that the three ears of corn a day helped the mule to do was not worth the cost of feed. When farmer gives healthy, strong mule a generous quantity of grain, the mule can do work that will pay profit on the grain fed.
 Ut is just the same with conner cial fertilizer. A man told me last week that he applied 35 pounds of fer tilizer an acre to hill land and did not get his money back and he was not going to use fertilizer any more. The quantity was so small that all the plant food in it, added to that furnish ed by the soil, was not enough alto gether to supply the quantity abso- lutely necessary to produce a fair yield Applying 100 pounds to the acre is like stopping a growing child from eating in the middle of each meal. The child will be pinched and thin and will grow slowly. The crop will be what the Texans call sorry one.
 The Arkansas farmer who has land that will produce from onefourth to one-third of bale of cotton an acre should use not less than 200 pounds an acre of high grade commercial fertilizer. This has beer found by hundreds of farmers to increase the yield on an average of one-third When the Arkansas farmers get the fertilizer habit, they probably will use 400 to 800 pounds an acre. This has been true in other cotton growing states and the larger quantities have generally returned more profits for each dollar invested
 Try this year POO pounds an acre of the fertilizer that your land needs"

SAYS CAMPBELL
 DUE PROMOTION

Doak s. Campbell, class 1910 Ouachita College, was elected pres- dent of Central College, of Conway by the board of trustees at a meeting last night at the Second Baptist Church, Little Rock. He will succeed pr. J. W. Conger, who is retiring on account of the state of his physical condition. Dr. Conger was president of Ouachita College for 21 years, and he has held that position at Central College for the past nine years.
 Doak Campbell is well remembered here as a student, and it does not come fly advanced in his line of work. He is, no doubt, the youngest college president in Arkansas, and one of the youngest of the entire country. He is no novice, at that, because for sev- eral years he has been the active force at the head of Central College affairs and is thoroughly informed in college management.
 Central College is about to embark on an extensive building movement, as is Ouachita here. Campbell is to be congratulated on his advancement and the college is also to be congrat- ulated upon securing a man of the type of it's new head.-Arkadelphia Daily News

 NOT YET COMPLETE

Although the time for placing names on the ballot for the municipal Demo- cratic primary election of March 9 expires at o'clock this evening, the ticket at ? o'clock this afternoon was still incomplete. There was no can didate for treasurer and only one for alderman of the First ward.
 Judge w. H. Duncan was entered in the race for mayor this morning and will oppose Mayor w. D. Cole for reelection. Two candidates for mar shal, J. R. Piercey, the incumbent and J. A. King, former city marshal filed their names with Secretary V. D. Hill. G. w. Sammons filed as candi- date for alderman of the First ward, being the only one from that ward up to the hour stated
 Recorder George Shaw, Jr., this af- ternoon filed his name as candidate for reelection and thus far is with out an opponent.
 It is understood that several other candidates for alderman will qualify before the ticket is finally closed.
 Secretary Hill asked that the at tention of candidates be called to the corrupt practices act, which requires the filing of pledge with the city re corder that the candidate will not vio late the provisions of this act. This pledge is required to be filed 30 days before the primary, but as less than that time remained when the primary date was set it was obviously impos- sible to meet such requirement. MT. Hill suggests, however, that all candi- dates file these pledges with the re corder before the committee meets to select judges and clerks, on March l.
