highest visible stone in the mountain
was III feet below the top, the crest
itself being made up of an unknown
thickness of ice and consolidated
snow. This cap becomes slightly
lower in summer due to melting,
but is renewed in winter.
Partly hidden among lesser peaks
and foothills, Mont Blanc was prac-
tica1ly unknown to western Europe
until 1744. At first local mountain
climbers and tourists visited only the
lower ends of the glaciers-among
them the famous Mer de Glace-
near the French village of Chamo-
nix. For more than a quarter of a
century a standing reward for any
n who would discover a route to
the top was unsolicited. Finally on

been made almost daily in summer,

was then nearly seventy years old,

TELLS HOW TO GROW
 SWEET POTATOES SLIPS

Sweet potatoes may be propagated by bedding the roots and setting the slips or Sprouts" which come from the bedded potatoes or by making vine cuttings, according to C. Woolsey, horticulturist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 The bulk of the main sweet pota- to crop is grown from "slips" or sprouts" In some cases a late crop is grown for seed from vine cuttings. In the southern part of Arkansas considerable part of the main crop can probably be grown from vine cuttings. In this case approximately one-eighth of the area to be planted is set with slips in the spring in the usual manner and later in the season, after the vines have begun to run, cuttings are taken from the tips of the run ners. The cuttings should be about IA inches in length. They are then dropped and covered, all but the tip, in the land which has previously been prepared.
 The amount of seed potatoes to use when planting by the slip meth cd depends upon the size of the roots and the distance apart plants

appropriate $500.00 to be used as lobby fund to have the commis- l sion discredited and destroyed. 1 have a letter written by one who had the matter in charge and the disposal of that fund, presume, | written to the mayor of Marianna, city of over 5000 inhabitants, in furtherance of his scheme, which, if you will bear with me, I will read together with the reply: | ITO The Honorable Mayor of Ma rianna,
 Mariana, Arkansas. Dear Sir:
 ''The mass of the people of the state heartily approve the platform of Governor-elect McRae for re- trenchment and the abolishment of the Corporation Commission. How ever, those of US who are in close touch with the matter, find that the Corporation Lobby is attempt ing to wield pig influence in the Legislature against carrying out Governor McRae's campaign prom ise, and the Democratic platform promise to abolish the Corporation Commission.
 ''ln order to be sure to regain the right of local government for towns and cities, and in order to stop the profligate waste of the peoples money in useless commissions, and to destroy machine government and ring rule, it would seem wise that each community get in touch with its Senator and Representative.
 We notice that the Camden Chamber of Commerce has passed a resolution endorsing Governor McRae's stand, and it might be well for your Council and Chamber of Commerce, if any, to make known it's stand in the matter.
 May We ask if you know how your Senator and Representative will vote in connection with the matter?
 Yours for Home Rule and a General House-cleaning.
 EARLE W. MOREHEAD."
 To which the mayor of Marianna made this reply, and to prove to you that I am right in my conten- ton that the abolishment of this commission was not made an issue in McRae's campaign in Lee coun- ty and l, for one, am not bound now by any such implied instructions by the nomination of MT. McRae. I will go further and say that if it had been an issue he wouldn't have carried the county. So much for that.

Dr. McAllister Treated His Own
 Wife Successfully.

A case of interest to the medical profession has been made public by letter to Nash Brothers, the man. ufacturing druggists, by Dr. A. G. McAllister, of Cash, Arkansas. He was away from town when his wife contracted pneumonia and of course another doctor was called to treat her. Dr. Nunn was giving a light purgative and keeping Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve on the chest, covered with flannel, on which was kept hot water bottle.
 When Dr. McAllister arrived home and learned what his colleague was doing, he said, Doctor, you have done exactly what I would have done" He continued the treatment himself.
 Meanwhile, his wife who had twice before had pneumonia, made arrangements to die, but under her husbands treatment passed the dan ger ponit in three days and within

 We further recommend that the emergency clause shall not be at taehed to any bill providing for lo- cal improvement"
 The subject is vast one and l do not essay to touch upon every element of it in one brief message. A general repeating act should be passed to cover all cases where bonds have nCt been issued.
 I have been told, gentlemen, that the bill I have referred to is being held up in the Senate for sim ister purpose. l know nothing of the truth of the statement, but it seems while putting the Peniten- tiary Commission and the Corpora 1 tion Commission out of business as l it only affected the interests of a | few office holders who held their positions by virtue of the acts ere l ating the offices, little difficulty was encountered. It does seem now to me that the Joiner -Kelso-Gregory bill should not be permitted to be put to sleep, as it would put out of business an innumerable throng of
 bond buyers, shyster lawyers, profit
 eering contractors and one-horse en- gineers. Is it possible that bunch
 of grafters and political harpies are delaying this bill for the purpose
 of killing it?
 I believe that Gov. McRae, with
 his political strength, has demon strated by the vote in both houses
 in the General Assembly on the re- peal of the Penitentiary Commis-
 ssion and Corporation Commission
 and his fixity of purpose to serve l the best interests of the people, can
 discover the why's and wherefores 1 of this delay and see that this ap-
 parent holdup is remedied. I, as
 an alleged anti-administration mem l Der of this body, humbly pray that
 he will take steps to do so.

One bushel of seed will produce 1 1000 to 5000 slips, according to the size of the roots. When two or three drawings are made, three or four bushels will furnish enough plants to set an acre. The bed space required foE sweet potatoes varies with the size of the roots and the way they are placed in the bed. Generally speak ing, ten bushels of potatoes will re- quire bed six foot wide and 30 to 36 feet long.

 Now, in all candor, who is the most competent to judge of the merits or the demerits of the com mission and it's work-a governor who gets his information from dis gruntled, dissatisfied communities and their counsel which state of mind arises from pique by reason of unfavorable decisions rendered by the commission, or ex-Governor Brough who has been in touch with the work of the commission and noted it's efforts in behalf of the state. I repeat, which of the two, Governor McRae or ex-Governor Trough, with the evidence at hand, is most capable of judging.
 Take the wording of the messages as you have them before you from each one of the parties and l be- lieve for cool, calm, dispassionate reasoning and dignified logic, you will have to- concede the palm to ex-Governor Brough. With forty five out of forty-eight governors arrayed against him as to the worth of a Corporation Commission, MT. McRae is like the stubborn juror who disagreed with his fellows, de- clared he disagreed with them be- cause he was the only one among them that had any sense. Such seems to be the attitude of our pres ent executive. 1t may be true but l, for one, doubt is most damnably.
