STILL REQUESTING THE CORPORATION COMMISSION

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 3-When it comes to abolishing the Corporation Com mission, the Senate is a busy little body. It scrapped for an hour over amendment to the Emory abolition bill Wednesday afternoon, adopting committee amendment on a roll call by a vote of Is to 12. Immediately after this was done two more bills to abolish the commission were intro duced, one by Senator Johnston, wip- ing the slate clean and leaving only the hole where the commission stood. Senator Johnston says this is what Governor McRae advocated in his inaugural speech Senator Stewart introduced bill substituting a com mission of three which has jurisdic- tion only over utilities which affect two or more towns or counties. Lacol franchises are returned to the muni- cipalities with right of appeal to the commission and if an agreement can not be reached there the matter then goes to the circuit court of the dis .rict from which the case came,

Land of the Mind"

A French author once coined the phrase: The land of the mind.
 It is realm that many of us have forgotten. There the imagery is real ; there death is unknown. and the only riches are mems thoughts.
 With every age il grows in splen- dor. Dickens. Milton. Shakespeare, Hugo-theSe and countless others have left their all for those who travel there.
 The demands of existence have blinded some of us to the joys that lie in such travels AS children We roamed the fields of ina Yination, but now we believe only in the material.
 Yet we call ourselves wise.
 The dreary nights of winter are ahead Why not cheat them of their dreariness, and on the wings of lit erature journey to the Lard of the Mind?-Portland Oregonian.

NOT TO REDUCE COTTON
 ACREAGE ON STATE FARM
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 3.-The sentiment of the Arkansas Senate is apparently not that of bankers, planters, and merchants when it comes to cotton reduction as a state product. Senator Hartje made gallant fight for the Herring resolution from the House to reduce the cotton acreage on the state farm in accordance with what is known as the Memphis Plan. but Senator Caldwell and others differed with him so convincingly that the Herring resolution was. defeated. Senator Caldwell argued that the state had the men and must make money on it's farms so cotton was the only thing it could raise.

i(By James J. COrbett, former Worlds
 Heavyweight Champion.)

'(By James J. Corbett, former Worlds
 Heavyweight Champion) (Copywright 1921 by International News Service.) Manhasset, N. Y. June 15.-Georges Carpenter is in great shape. I have sized him up carefully and I believe I am qualified to judge the condition of an athlete, especially a boxer.
 To my mind he is ready to fight right now. It would be to his advan- tage, in fact, should the fight take place tomorrow. I mean by this that he is practically as good as he can get and if he could evade the coming days of training and dodge the chance of fighting against StaleneSS he would be better off. l know he would be thankful
 The same applies to Dempsey if reports from Airport, telling of his condition, have not been exaggerated. Later in the week I will visit the camp of the champion. I have not seen him in several weeks and do not feel qualified to make a positive state memt regarding just where he stands physically at this writing But from what I know of him I believe that he is capable of rounding into physical perfection as rapidly as Carpenter, as for tha.1, they have been training about the same length of time-
 Carpentier at His Best.
 Carpenter has reached the proper pitch to fight at his best speed His muscles are supple and free as the muscles Of a tiger. They ripple un- der his skin and he dances about and hits with perfect freedom and boise, getting the maximum of power to his punches. His stomach muscles, are tough and strong. There is no fat on him, inside out, as far as I can see.
 Georges has also reached the right pitch temperamenta In my talks with him I have found him in the best of humor. He is a very like able chap, highly intelligent, with a keen sense of humor and witha1 a very interesting character all around.
 He has made up his mind regard ing the sort of battle he will have on his hands July End. I'm sure of that. But of course he is not telling
