Saved by Unions
ORGANIZED LABOR is LIBERTY'S
BULWARK
But For Organization Conditions in
America Would Equal Worst Sit
uatiOn Now Existing in
the Old World

Denver-The economic movement
of the workers is the best defense OF
their liberties, declared James Lord
president of A. F. of l.. mining de-
partment, in his annual report.
In vigorous terms the unionist
scored bourbon influences and insisted
that but for organized labor condi-
tions in America would equal the
worst situation that now exists in the
old world.
"There is a general cry on the part
Of the bourbons and their harlots of
the press and platform, for wage re-
ductions. the lengthening Of the work
day and the breaking down of we'll
established conditions of labor" he
said. "In the face of all this reac-
ton, of plots Matched in the injunction
field, the legislatures, and in cham
bers of commerce, it must occur to all
who are not entirely blind to their
affairs, that if the labor movement
did nothing else, under the circum-
stances, than prevent these baneful
interests from driving US backward,
from taking any more Of our liberties
away, it would even then be worthy,
hundred fold, of all the finance and
effort we put into it.
"No investment ever made by
mortal man brings such results as
does the investment of money and
effort in the economic effort of the
workers. 1t is my conviction that
but for the trade union movement in
this country at this particular time,
our country would be rocked by
anarchy and chaos that would equal
the worst situation no wexistirg in
the old world
with all due regard to well-mean-
ing statesmen and liberators outside
the movement, the sheet anchor of
all our liberties, and our opportunities
for the future, is the economic move
ment and power of the workers,
throughout this distressed world"

Is Plain Robbery
WORKERS SHOW FRAUD IN r. X.
AFFAIRS
Inefficient Management and Extrava-
gance Cost Millions of Dollars
and Discredit Government
Ownership

Denver-Despite hostile press and
Wall street influence, organized rail
road shop employees have exposed
railroad fraud, says John Scott, sec
tary-treasurer of the A. F. of l..
railway employees department, in his
annual report.
Back to normalcy,' he says, "has
decreed that the national agreement
must be abrogated because it is the
will Of the dominating interests in
Wall street mouthed by a minority
group of railroad executives headed
by Atterbury of the Pennsylvania
railroad. This in face of the fact
that we have turned the tables dpon
them in defense of the national agree
: ment, exposing gigantic fra1d, in
efficient management and deliberate
extravaganza aggregating many mil
lions of dollars in the first instance
to dlscredit government control of the
railroads and secondly to be used as
propaganda in Misrepresentation Of
facts to secure the cancellation of the
national agreement.
eve feel justly proud of the task
accomplished within the limited time
and but for the usual handicap of
being denied the publicity Of the
press, feel assured that with the full
facts before the public, exposing as
we have the most gigantic conspiracy,
public sentiment would have, ere this
time, demanded the prompt release of
the railroad from the hands of these
human vultures.
"The uncertainties of the future as
to the policy of the railroads, and
the early realization of what can be
expected from the present administra-
tion in Washington, seems to give
ample assurance that the work Of this
department will not be lessened dur
ing the coming year, but we also feel
assured that this awakening will, IN
due time, show beneficial results"

The 'Can't Strike"
Law is a Failure

Denver-The Kansas court of in
dustrial relations act is an admitted
failure, says the A. F. of L. executive
council in it's annual report.
although loudly heralded by its
author, Governor Allen, as an instru-
ment to tie men to their jobs, he has
been unable to make the people of
Kansas or any other state accept it
as a guide in legislation. The law
has proved to be not only ineffective
in averting cessations of work, but
it has been rejected by all fair
minded citizens as un-American.
although Governor Allen and his
satellites travelled for and wide, and
pleaded with legislators to enact a
similar law, not a state legislature,
after analyzing the act, would ap-
prove of it's provisions.
"Despite the law, strikes have been
numerous in Kansas. These occurred
in the coal fields, on the railroads, and
in the packing houses. There were
at least 20 strikes, but aside from the
president of the Kansas district of the
United Mine Workers and three dis
trict board members of the miners,
no attempt was made to punish any
of the workers who participated in
them.
"Not only are the workers and
farmers opposed to the law, but many
employers refuse to recognize it."

Steel Mills Down

Pittsburgh, Pat is stated that
the steel trust is operating on basis
of 25 per cent Of it's production and
that Independent mills have fallen be-
low 20 per cent. This statement must
be of interest to unorganized steel
workers who were told that their re-
cent 20 per cent wage reduction would
re-establish prosperity.

Get More Money Out of the
 Corn Crop This Year
(BY H. M. ,coTTRELL)

Half the corn raised in Arkansas 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 thoroughly dried With single stalks of corn 4 feet by feet apart each way and such a vine on each stalk. the yield of beans in the pod would be more than 100 pounds. The feed value of this quantity of velvet beans in the pod is greater than 100 bushels of corn. The vines and leaves yielded more than 1-2 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. Dorman, Nashville, Ark ansas, planted corn on thin upland. making the rows 6 feet apart. On part of the field he planted veivet beans in the row with corn ana on the other part soy beans in the corn rows. He with Spanish peanuts. The corn plant ed on neighbors' fields adjoining pro- duced 10 bushels an acre. The late cultivation given the peanuts made Dormon's corn yield 12 bushels an acre.
 The crops were gathered in the field by hogs, saving the cost of labor. En- ough of each crop was gathered to find the yield. The average yield per acre vas: Corn, 12 bushels; Spanish peanuts, 20 bushels; soy beans, 9 bushels. and velvet beans, 40 bushels. The average yield of the mixed crop on 40 acres had feed value equal to & bushels of corn an acre.
 Dr. Dorman, on upland, by planting velvet beans, soy beans and Spanish peanuts with corn, produced 1-2 times as much feed as where corn was planted 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, at Fayetteville. This is in the northern part of the state. They will grow on any land that will produce cotton, and besides yielding we'll, they make the soil richer.

Little Rock, March 1S.-(Special)- Commissioner of Agriculture Fergu- son is distributing among the farmers of the State 15.OOo copies of his bien- nial report of inspectors and analy- ses of fertilizer and cotton seed meal during the season of 1919-20. It is "a most comprehensive report and shows that 6S,040 tons of commercial fertil- izer and 21,265 tons of cotton seed meal were sold to Arkansas consum- CTS. during the fiscal year ending on September 30, 1920. The fertilizer tonnage is. material increase over the proceeding year when 53,378 tons was reported. This increase indicates that with the lowering of the cost of commercial fertilizers, the farmers VII use greater quantities.

NEW STATION SOUGHT
Texarkana Residents Will Appeal to
 Railroad Commissions.

Texarkana, March 16.-A movement has been inaugurated among the busi- ness men here to secure a new union railway station, and other terminal facilities. The movement was sug- gested by F. M.

Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
. Says we can't look or feel right :. with the system full
 of poIsons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?" you say. We'll, 1t is guaranteed to per. form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This Is very tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid of the previous days waste, sour bile the body which if not eliminated every bacteria which infest the bowels. the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath. bad taste. colds. stomach trou- ble. kidney misery. sleeplessness. i'm: puro blood and all sorts of ailments.
 badly the next, but who simply can obtain ;axquartUf pound of limestone phosphate Aat the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufncient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing. .sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach. liver. kidneys and bowels. It Is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. while the bowel pores do.

The News repeatedly receives let ters from the various southern cotton growers organizations urging that during the next sixty days the impor- tance of emphasizing over and over again the urgent necessity of the cot ton farmer growing ample food and feed for complete independence. They insist that if this is not done the South will be begging for bread next year. We believe that most of our peo- pie realize the importance of this kind of program from personal experience and observation and will not need the warning to fortify themselves against low prices All that is needed is a genuine application of old fashioned horse-sense to bring back to this coun- try sound condition. Every man knows that if today Ls was able to furnish and feed his own farm from his 6xn barn and smekehouse this FIT that everything else would come riSht He also knows that now is the flne to get ready for an independent next year, and most of them seems to be preparing to do It,

There is no question but that now and in the immediate future is the time to get oil developments in this immediate section. The impetus is given by the fact that big new oil field has been opened in the state. Wells are going down in most sections of the state. Many of these wells will naturally come in dry, for we are told by authorities that the oil lies in pools. All cannot hit the pool, many will miss it. Every dry hole will be discour- agement for further seeking when a little different location might have brought in new discovery we'll. That is why real broad minded oil men de- sire as many tests as possible. Then, there is naturally tendency for many small leases for speculative purposes to be taken up. No one planes these people for taking these leases. but it happens and will later render the blocking of leases for actual develop ment more difficult If possible and at this time every section or Little River county should have sufficient acreage blocked for real tests. One of them may be the discovery well. All geolo- gists agree that the structure is here. Some can show that one place is the likely spot and some another. They do not agree. If it is on this side of a fault it can't be on that. The thing to do is to give them all test. After all, oil is where you md it, and the only sure way to find it is to drill for stt The people east of Ashdown, north and south should not be satisfied until their sections are tested. They can get it done by sufficient blocked acre age first and finding the right people next.

The governor has indicated that he will issue proclamation withhold ing the penalty for nOn-payment of Gaxes until some time in May. This applies to state, city and county tax es. Improvement district taxes will have to be paid by April 10th. It is supposed that the penalty will be with held on other taxes until the last moment before the list of delinquents are certified in order to comply with the law. Locally this will give relief in this way: the sheriff's forces say that if all pay the taxpayers could not possibly be waited on between now and the tenth of April. Ali who have to pay should be reminded that the extension will not benefit them if they all wait until almost the end of the time, for then the overcrowding would be the same as if there had never been an extension with same chance of not being reached. We see no other way by which the extension will benefit than giving all a chance to pay. The notice is published in this issue and when the order is made will be given publicity for your information.

CAT SCORED USUAL VICTORY
FeT.her in the Cap of the Ever. Conquering Feline.

There is an enchanting story told by the Lady Sci Shonagon, beauty of Japan of nine centuries past, of the emperOr'S favorite cat herself spoiled beauty. She had received a cap of honor and had been raised to the third rank of nobility, With the title of Wiyobu-no-Ototo, or "Chief of the Female Attendants" and was a cat of many graces. Unfortunately on a day of disobedience, her lady-in- waiting summoned the emperors dog, Okinamaru, to startle her into good be- hayior. He parked obediently, and the cat dashed madly behind the screen, where his majesty snt at break fast, and sought refuge in his arms. The emperor, much shocked, sent for the lord high chamberlain, and pro- nounced sentence on poor Okinamaru. A thrashing and exile! The Lady Sci describes him as hitherto a happy dog and much esteemed. But short time before he had been carried in process sion in willow litter, with peach blossoms and bollyhocks on his head 1! He was now an outcast on dog island. land none so poor to do him rever- ence." He may possibly have found life easier without the hollyhocks. but it is interesting to see that the eternal cat is victorious as ever. The dog is vanquished; the lady-in-waiting ruined, and the cat lies in the emperor's lap and purrs. So was 1t always; so will 1t ever bes writes l.. Adams Beck in Asia Magazine.
