 UNIQUE DISCOVERY

Little Rock, April 7.-Governor Me Rae is in receipt of letter from Charles R. Montgomery of Mena who says that he has discovered a process by which he can at will place any shade of light under any kind of plant and directly affect the colors of the bloom as we'll as the fruit. He says that in some instances 1t works like magic, the effect.is so great" He has found the solution to the color mystery in plant life and claims to De able to apply and control it at will. Being able to supply any amount of any or all colors to any or all plants, he says that his discovery is highly practical in orchards, gardens, flowers and truck growing.
 It is one of the most effective fer tllizers, furnishing the plant life with just what 1t requires for healthy growth and the higher production. 1t also gives the plant greater power of resistance to destructive insect life When applied to Q rose or other flow CT, It perfects the color and makes it more beautiful with softer and richer tints, He has not yet patented his process, but expects to do so, and in the meantime wants an opportunity of demonstrating his process on some of the state demonstration farms. If l can do what l claim for this" says he, you can see it ought to be on the market at the earliest possible date. ;

PLANS TO SEND SOME
 DIVORCED TO JAIL
By United Press) )

San Francisco, April 7.-Divorces as means of getting rid of trouble some mates, are becoming unfashion- able in San Francisco, according to Superior Judge E. P. Shortall.
 Annulments are proving less cum bersome and quicker in fact than Reno. As result the grand jury is going to look in things a bit.
 Persons who desire to travel their paths singly after failing to pull prop erly in double harness, have discover ed, Shortall says, that they can bring a suit for annulment, alleging the oth- CT member of the partnership had a previous mate from there was no legal divorce The case is tried often, by agreement or on account of being unable to produce evidence, it goes uncontested. The marriage is an- nuled.
 The minute the annulment is entered both parties are free to marry again, without the formality of waiting a year.
 But what interests the court is why there have been no prosecutions for bigamy growing out of the many an- nulments granted on the grounds of bigamous marriage. Annulments have averaged as high as seven a day for a week during the last six months, court records show.

More Truth Than Poetry
 By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
OLD AND NEW

IF congress, today, points of honor arc decided by bets instead of by pistols. Some 10 or 50 years back, Whenever a statesman was stirred To answer colleagues attack With shorter and uglier word t-ach went to gun store and had him
 self heeled
 Enlisted friend for second. And the man who was able to walk off
 the field,
 The better debater was reckoned. There is force and directness in lead; It's logic can not be withstood; When one of the parties is dead A quarrel is settled for good We might have continued the duelling
 fad
 As means to promote legislation Except for the baleful effect that it had In reducing our representation. But fighting today isn't done:
 We have learned to exert self-control The statesman who reached for his gun Now reaches, instead, for his roll. If congressman says that another one
 lies,
 In his face the long-green will be
 shaken,
 While the party of questioned veracity "I'll bet you thou you're mistaken" Debate has been shorn of romance; For we who sit by and look on Are sure that there isn't chance
 For pistols and coffee at dawn But though we still thrill as we read cf
 the days tes
 When the gun was an honor -assuager. We are bound to admit in a great many
 ways It's wiser to fight with wager.
