satisfactory one. was the Information
given 4 reporter who interviewed iii-
teen leading merchants and business
men of GukyiilC the other morning.
That those interviewed were worried
and very much worried over the situa-
ton is a fact that they did not at
tempt to conceal. Practically all crop
debts are either due now or VIII be due
within the next few days. Fertilizer
accounts are due from October l to
November - ard very few fertilizer
accounts have been paid.

MAY NAME NEW
 BOARD SOON
TRUSTEES OF MAGNOLIA SCHOOL. SAY PRESIDENT STARTED
 TROUBLE.

With Governor McRae going to Con- way today, where he will deliver the baccalaureate address at closing eX- ercises of the State Normal School, it j.s not expected that action will be talk en in the matter of appointing new Board of Trustees for the Magnolia Agricultural School before the end of this week or the beginning of next week.
 State Comptroller Van B. Sims, who had made an audit of the schools af- fairs yesterday had not filed his re port with the governor. but probably will send it in today, However, the re port was read in part at the meeting of the board members with the governor several days ago. at which time the re- port of the board also was filed.
 The boards report is more or less in the nature of an answer to charges which had been made against the mem bers by President Austin, who, w'th other members of the faculty. has been discharged by the board It also con tains charges against Mir. Austin, one of which was that he organized an ln- surrection of students and faculty members agaiist the board,
 The instruction, according to the re- port. consisted in petitions and letters to tho governor asking the removal Of the board without trial and without our knowledge"
 whe report says that a bakery ana an ice cream plant were bought ana Ill., stalled without the authority of the hoard had never received report or inc affairs of either. The charge that the board opposed the use Of modern farm machinery originated. according to the report, when President Austih bought and used a tractor on the farm which caused the terraces to break down and the land to wash. and the hoard opposed its further use. MT. Austin rented private land three miles from the school, the report alleges, ana worked it with teams and tools De- longing to the school
 "This." it was said, provoked ad- verse criticism and was without the knowledge and consent of the board. = Gazette.

NEW RESPITE FOR
 ELAINE RIOTERS
LAWYERS SECURE WRIT THAT WILL PREVENT SIX ELECTRO
 BUTTONS TOMORROW.

Orders directing a writ of habeas corpus for the appearance in Chancery Court of Frank Hicks, Frank Moore. Ed Hicks, J. E. Knox, Ed Coleman under sentence of electrocution, were issued yesterday by Chancellor Marti- neau. The negroes, whose executions were set by Governor McRae for to- morrow, are ordered under the writ fo haheas corpus to appear before Chan cery Court sat ? o'clock tomorrow after noon and are placed under $500 bond each for their appearance. The order of tn ecourt also restraints F. H. Demp- sey, warden at the walls, from carry ing out the proclamation of the gOver- nor setting the date of the execution.
 The petition for writ of habeas cor pus, filed by McHenry, Murphy and Dunaway and Scipio Jones, negro at torney for the plaintiffs. bases it's plea for a review of the case on the ground that the negroes were not responsible man. who was alleged to have been shot by negroes during the Elaine riot of October l. 1919; that they were convict of Helena officials and business men, ed by the Committee of Seven, made up out justice; and that they were con and that their trial in court was with victed on evidence secured under du ress from members of their race, who testified falsely out of fright and to es- cape punishment, and that there was no member of their race on the jury that tried them at any time.
 They also represent in the petition that they were unable to enter pro- test at the proper time as they were confined and knew nothing of the re- qu;re.nents of the law.
 In addition to the petition, several exhibits are introduced, including let ters from the Robert l.. Kitchens Post of Helena of the Committee of Seven who investigated the Elaine riots and of the Lions Club and Rotary Club of Helena, addressed to the governor an asking that no clemency be shown the negroes, which are entered to show that the nc srt es have been the victims of race rreju. ce.

certain the truth or falsity of charges made by Robert I. Kerlin of LeXing- ton, Va and affdavits of others which had been sent to the governor, alleging that the negroes had not had a fair trial
 Kerlin's letter and the affidayits also asked that postponement of the execu- tion of the condemned six be granted until decision has been made by the court in the cases of the second s.x The second six have twice been found guilty of first degree murder and the cases twice reversed and remanded by the Supreme Court because of technical error. Almost all of the mass of peti tions, etc. received by the governor ask ing postponement are written, appar- ently. under the misapprehension that the 12 negoes were convicted jointly of the same murders committed under the same circumstances. According to the court records, however, Frank and Ed Hicks, Frank Moore. J. E Knox, Ed Coleman and Paul Hall were convicted and sentenced to death for the killing Clinton Lee on the morning of October 1. an dthe other six were convicted of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Atkins on the night of September 30 and J. A. Tappan on the afternoon of Octo- Der i. Tappan died during the night of October 1-Gazette.

Test to Be Made on the
 Jones Veil This Week

Hope, Feb. 21.-With the big gas showing at the Jones Well No. l, south of Hope, becoming stronger eve ry day, a test will probably be made within the next few days. This well has now reached depth around g. 700 feet, and the showing of gas has increased steadily for the past three days, and this morning was noticeably stronger than ever before. This was so pronounced that it was necessary to stop drilling this morning and rel fill the hole with new mud in order to prevent the we'll from blowing itself in, so Driller "Bill' Smith stopped op- erations long enough to pump the hole full of mud.
 The favorable indication at the Jones we'll are recognized by experi- enced oil men, and several days ago the Hope Oil & Leasing Co.,, for whom this well is being drilled by the White Oil Corporation, took their leases around the Jones We'll off the market, and although some fancy prices have been offered since, they have continu- ed to "sit tight" Lease holders who have protected themselves on acreage near the Jones well are now seeking protection around the Walter Brown we'll which is being drilled by the Continental Oil & Gas GO. between the Jones we'll and Hope, which is To- cated on the Duckett farm, some four miles south of the city, and which is on the same structure.

If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens SO Naturally Nobody
 can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect. By asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bot tie of this old-time recipe. improved by the addition of other ingredients. all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy. soft and beautiful. This preparation Is Q delightful toilet requisite. It is not in- tended for. the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.

stead of working in the cotton fields Tie sale of poultry and eggs in Arkan- sas in 1920 averaged less than $25.0O a farm family.
 A cotton grower in Southeast Misso- uri did not pay exepenses with cotton, but made $2,OOS.OO clear profit from 400 carefully selected laying hens last year.
 Every merchant and banker in Ar kansas should be anxious to give every women and girl 12 years of age or older, in families who do business with them, credit to buy A laying young hens and bullets, and to help new poultry raisers get the informa- tion they need from experts. The men in every farm family owe it to their women folks to build cheap, good shelter for the poultry and GOODS for the hens with chicks.
 Twenty-four laying young hens and bullets will furnish all the eggs an or dinary family will eat and eggs to sell. Each hen should be set three times. Set two hens at time. When the chicks hatch, put both broods under one hen and get the other to laying quickly. In this way 30 chicks can be raised to marketing size from each hen. Let the family eat all they want i; it will save meat bills; and there will be 300 chicks to sell.
 Each beginner should learn how to select hens that will pay. Learn how to keep lice and mites away. Learn what to buy to go with homegrown feed to produce eggs cheaper. Learn how to take care of setting hens. Learn how to take care of and feed hen and her chicks. Learn how to market poultry and eggs to get the highest prices. H. B. Landsen, poultry men, State Extension Department, Southern Trust Building, Little Rock, can tell you all these things. He knows. Get up big meeting in your county; gel every family in the county to come te it, and get Lansden to show beginners how to make money from poultry It is the moral obligation of every storekeeper in Arkansas who sells tt farmers to buy their eggs and poul try at fair price. Merchants within ! 100 miles of Little Rock have pai( farm women 10 cents dozen for egg' when they were worth wholesale A 1 cents at Little Rock, and it cost les than four cents dozen to ship them Such a practice on the part of mer /! chant is as bad as highway robbery i Merchants, give the women and girl

PAY WITH POULTRY.
(By H. M. CottrelD.


 Paying for the things you have to buy at the stores in 1921 with poultry and eggs. This year, go on cash basis. Thousands of mothers and daughters worked hard all last sum- mer and fall in the cotton fields, and the cotton will not pay what the fam- flies owe at the stores If each of the women and girls who worked so hard in the cotton fields had two dozen young hens last spring, had taken good care of them and of the chicks they matched, the work would lot have been half so hard as the field labor. Gro ceries, shoes, and clothing would have been paid for in cash, and New Years Day the families would not have been owing the store one dollar for any, thing used in the homes. Do it this year.
 The farmers wives and daughters in Missouri get an average of $300,. 900 every day in the year, except Sun day, for poultry and eggs-more thar one hundred million dollars year $5OO.00 a year for every farm family in the state. Think of the comfort ant freedom from worry and debts thu families on the farms of Arkansa' would not have if the women ant girls on them had done with poultr! what those on Missouri farms did, in
