redact OH hocamo effective on the
frs. ol this month Tho cutting of

will indirectly effect the office force
and will probably mean the laying off
of number of timekeepers and other
persons who have charge of the Office
work for these units. 1t is understood
that, effective the first of the month,
tho maintenance of way drafting de-
partment will be cut down to a min
imum. No reductions we're reported
for tho shors since tho big cut was
made several weeks ago 1t is how
ever, probable that a further redue
ton in forco will take place in tho
near future. Train and engine crews
have been reduced to a great extent
The reductions. 1t is stated, are made
necessary duo to tho general depres-
sion of business. It is also understood
that the railroads of the country are
following out a general retrenchmeni
policy. Press dispatches state that of.
ficials o. tho big eastern railroads

many tho situation which exists to

HUSBAND SHOWS UP. WIFE
 CHARGED WITH MURDER, FREE

Miami, Ok. March 3. Reading an aceount in newspaper that his wife was being held in the Ottawa county jail in connection with his supposed murder. J. c. Coins, Galena, Kan. teamster, late yesterday appeared at the jail to interview his wife and ad wise her that he was not dead.
 The woman's detention is believed to have been caused by letters written by enemies. She is IS years old and has been separated from her husband for several months. Coins said he was spreading his lunch on a news paper when he caught a glimpse of a headline which revealed the fact that his wife was held for investigation in connection with a mystery death. He left his team in care of others and hastened to Miami. A reconciliation of the couple followed his visit.

 OUT OF THE CornCrop

Half the corn raised in Arkansa: does not pay the cost of raising. An. other crop should be raised at the same time with the corn. It is only on rich land that in an average year corn alone will pay.
 John McCrosky, Pulaski county, planted velvet beans last spring in corn, one bean to each stalk of corn. The soil was sandy, bottom land that had been in cultivation many years. The yield of corn was 35 bushels an acre. The beans in the pod, taken from one vine that covered one corn plant, weighed pounds 10 ounces thoroly dried. With single stalks of corn feet by feet apart each way and such a vine on each stalk, the yield of beans in the pod would be more than 7,000 pounds. The feed value of this quality of velvet beans in the pod is greater than 100 bushels of corn. The vines and leaves yielded more than l 1a tons dry feed an acre.
 MT McCrosky, by planting on bot tom land velvet beans with his corn raised four times as much feed an acre as he would if he had planted corn alone, and the velvet beans made the soil richer.
 Dr. w. B. Dormon, Nashville, Ark, the rows feet apart. On part of the rows feet apart On part of the field he planted velvet beans in the row with corn and on the other part soy beans in the corn rows. He planted the middles in all the field with Spanish peanuts. The corn planted on neighbor's fields adjoining produced 10 bushels an acre. The late cultivation given the peanuts made Dormons corn yield 12 bushels an acre.
 The crops were gathered in the field by hogs, saving the cost of labor. Enough of each crop was gathered to find the yield. The average yield per acre was Corn, 12 bushels; Spanish peanuts, 20 bushels; soy beans, % bushels, and velvet beans, 40 bushels. The average yield fthe mixed crops on 40 acres had feed value equal to 05 bushels of corn an acre.
 Dr. Dormon, on upland, by planting velvet beans, soy beans and Spanish peanuts with corn, produced 81s times as much feed as where corn was plant cd alone and the velvet beans made the soil richer.
 Dr. Bradford Knapp told me that in the past two years velvet beans had matured at the Experiment Station. This is in the northern part of the state. They will grow on any land that will produce cotton and besides yielding well, they make the soil richer.

 CENTRAL AMERICA
Secretary of State Hughes Sends Stern Message to Costa Rica and panama--u. s. Ready to Enforce
 Peaceful Solution.

Washington, March 5.-Cessation of hostilities between Costa Rica and Panama is demanded in identical notes, which it was learned tonight at the state department, had been dispatched today to the government of those two counties by Charles Evans Hughes, the new secretary of state.
 This action was the first of the Harding administration in the realm of foreign affairs and was said to have been based on the grounds of broad expediency, as the dispute between the Central American republics involved American interests in the Panama Canal Zone.
 Ready to Bring Peace by Force.
 A peaceful solution of the dispute over the territory of Coto on the basis of the White award is understood to have been suggested. The notes did not suggest meditation by the United States, but were understood to have conveyed the impression that this country stood ready to enforce, if nec- essary, peaceful solution.
 Dispatch of the notes followed ex- tended conferences between President Harding, Secretary Hughes and John W. Weeks and Edwin Denby, the new secretary of war and navy. Mir. Hughes took up the subject of the dis pute with Under Secretary Davis im- mediately after his induction into off, flee and later spent nearly two hours with Mir Harding.
 Costa Rica Is Stubborn.
 Secretary Weeks was called and pre- sented latest dispatches as to the situ- aion. MT. Denby discussed the ques- tion later with the president.
 Replies from Panama and Costa | Rica to the notes dispatched. several | days ago by ex-Secretary Colby were received today at the state depart l ment. That from Panama was said to | have expressed willingness to accept | the offer of the good offices of the | United States in attempting to settle | the dispute, but the one from Costa | Rica was described as unsatisfactory. | It was received contemporaneously | with reports that the government still was sending troops into the disputed 
 It Wetc Sdlu tiidl tHc fAuttliCdH SON- had no official information tha either Panama or Costa Rica in- tend to submit the dispute to the League of Nations, as reported in press dispatches. Today's action of the state department, it was added, was taken without reference to such reports.
 May Send More Warships.
 President Harding and his advisers were said to have given their approval of the steps already taken to protect American interests in the zone of hos Eilities, and indicated that unless he two American warships now on their way south proved adequate to accom- plish that purpose, a larger force night follow them
 President Harding has taken keen interest in the situation and | was said to be anxious to see every thing possible done to restore peace. Because of his recent visit to Panama | and the canal zone, it was said he feels | that he might be in peculiar position so reestablish concord.
