PRESERVE LOW PRICED EGGS
 FOR WINTER USE.

Spring is the natural breeding season for chickens, egg production is heaviest at this time and it is the logical time therefore, to pre- serve eggs for home use during the winter months when fresh eggs are scarce and hand to get, points out H. 5. Lansden, state poultry spec ialist of the Agriculture Extension Division, University of Arkansas.
 Why eggs should be preserved are given in the following reasons by | Mr. Lansden:
 Because fresh eggs are plentiful in the spring and early summer. | Because eggs are cheapest in the spring and early summer.
 Because eggs ire most expensive | in the fall and winter.
 Because you will be able to use the cheaper preserved eggs in the fall and winter and sell your fresh laid eggs at higher price.
 Most housewives can fruit and vegetables and make preserves dur ing the season when these products are plentiful and cheap in price for use during the cold wintry days when the fresh products are not obtainable, or if so, only at a high cost,' says Mir. Lansden. ''They have learned by experience that this is not only logical but a thrifty thing to do. Remember that eggs as well as fruit have their season of greatest plenty and that it is just as farsighted and thrifty a policy to preserve them as it is to can peaches.
 Tt is very necessary that eggs to be preserved be nice and fresh when put in this solution if best results are to be obtained. The mere fact of preserving eggs does not improve their quality Better eggs cannot be taken out of this solution than were put in. Infer. tile eggs keep better than the fer. tile eggs. Therefore, they are safer to use because the chances, if o1 the best quality, are better wher they go into the solution. Fol complete directions on How to Pre- serve Eggs, consult your home demonstration agent. If you have no agent in your county, writ, your state or district agriculture college or this office in Little Rock

LEGUME HAY PRODUCES
 LARGER MILK RETURNS

"The farmer who makes money from his dairy cows will plan to raise his hay on his own farm," says w. H. Woodley, dairy specialist, of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas, in advising as to the best kind of hay to feed the dairy COW.
 A legume hay" he says, "al- falfa, clover, lespedeza, cowpeas and soy beans. under ordinary feeding 'conditions, will produce more milk with no grain than any other hay will produce where it is fed with grain.
 "The farmer who is looking out for the most profit from his herd will plan at least a ton of hay each year for each COW and will save grain bills. Grain is relatively high and the COW that was making a profit two or three years ago may be fed at loss during the next year.
 Better cows fed better hay will produce bigger butter fat checks. Plan with the county farm agent the legume that will grow best on your farm and then plant it."

relief be provided for the overwork- ed district judge by transferring jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases of this character to the United States Commissioners. Opposition has been offered to this on the ground that this would mean the transfer of judicial power, which the law provides shall be inherent only in the judiciary. However, some relief must come else the dis trict judges will be so overwhelmed with misdemeanor cases that they will have no time to devote to mat ters of greater importance. I
 It is not the usual thing for lawyer to take a text when he ple;,ss a case before a jury, yet that is what happened last week in Little Rock court, when case was on trial in which a preacher was the plaintiff. His attorney, in making his argument, took for his text Acts 5:38-39, which reads as follows:
 And now l say unto you, Re- frain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught:
 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God"

work at a living wage.
 One of the most striking illustra- tions of the orgy of spending and improvident use of money has come to light in Little Rock and it may be typical of many cases through out the country. 4 white man who has been a common laborer all his life, and his three sons, were em- ployed last year in work which yielded them daily income of $47.50. Intoxicated with their opulence, and thinking it permanent no doubt, they proceeded to buy three automobiles as they were com pelled to have separate cars to take them to their work. They bought S15 silk shirts, $19 shoes and other attire in keeping with their de- sire to emulate the wealthy resi- dents of the city. During this time they also loaded their table with luxuries, although they were living in a rented house. Then the slump came. Now they have lost all their jobs. They cannot pay their rent. They are glad to get work at even S2 a day. In their back yard are two scrap piles which a year ago were cheap automobiles. It Is just such conditions as these that arc bringing about more distress anc financial difficulty than falling prices or industrial unrest.
 Those who are familiar with the working of the federal court sys. tenn are more than ever impressed with the necessity of a change. The federal district court has degenerat. ed into scarcely more than a police court. A few years ago 1t was 6 court of the greatest dignity, ir which cases only of great importance and relatively small number ot misdemeanors were tried. The en. forcement of the Volstead Act, how. ever, has loaded the calendar with literally hundreds of minor and of. ten trival cases, which demand the attention of the court. The sale of half pint of moonshine li- quor or the manufacture of home brew in wash kettle have become serious offenses against the govern ment. Recently in the Arkansas court an entire day was devoted to the trial of man before jury for the killing of a yellowhammer, It has been suggested and our dele gation in the Congress has become interested in the proposition, that

 My name is Smith and my bud dies name is Brown. I've bet him trip to the next American Legion Convention at Kansas City that there were more Smiths than Browns in the army during the World War. Who wins?"
 This query was received by the Washington bureau of the American Legion News Service from a mem Der of an Oklahoma Post. The answer was:
 You win, buddy Smith, by $500 majority. There were 5l 300 Smiths in the army and only 48,000 Browns. It's good thing you didn't get in- to bet with one of the Johnston tribe. who numbered 53,200 in Uncle Sam's army"

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Halper.) )


 Little Rock, May 2.-Governor Thomas c. McRae was the first one to sign the petition for the submis- sion of a proposed amendment to the constitution, prohibiting local or special legislation. A total of 5,209 signatures will be necessary to initiate the amendment. Sig natures are being received in large numbers from all over the state and it is expected that the requisite number will be secured in short time. This will be only the begin ming, however, of the fight, for there will be long legal complica- tions before either of the proposed amendments is certified out.
 While the sentiment in favor of the local legislation is strong in some quarters, it cannot be denied that there will be a very consider able opposition to it. The tenor of this opposition is indicated by the Bonneville Democrat, which argues that: Local legislation should be restricted in some way, but we hope the promoters of the drastic amend ment proposed on second thought will realize the necessity of a change in its provisions" The Democrat further says that 'all of us are dis gusted with local laws, but if we take one minute to think, we can see that the amendment suggested to be initiated, would be most ridic-
 ulous and would be another black
 eye for Arkansas"

N|CHAN MARTIN PROBABLY TO BE . HANGED TO-DAY
Attorneys Make Hard Elev- enth-Hour Fight To Save
 His Life But All Effort Apparently Had Failed

In all probability the sun will not set tonight on a living Nichan Mar tin, condemned to die today for the murder of Arthur De Steunder.
 At late hour last night all eff forts in his behalf apparently had failed. They were directed to secur- ing a stay of execution in order that there might be a review of the case by the Supreme ourt of the United States where an application for a writ of certiorari had been filed.
 Three movements were made sim ultaneously. Stephen H. Abbey of Florence. who has been interested in the case since Martin was taken to the penitentiary at Florence, went to Prescott day before yesterday to se- cure from Judge John J. Sweeney of the Superior court writ that would serve as a stay But last night Mir. Abbey arrived in Phoenix and stated that Judge Sweeney had declined to take any action in the matter.
 Attorney Benton Dick went to Tue son night before last to apply to Unit ed States Judge William H. Sawtelle for a writ of habeas corpus which it was expected would be denied, but it was hoped that the judge would is sue a writ of probable cause which would serve as a stay.
 But on the arrival of Mir. Dick at Tucson he learned that Judge Saw telle was on the top of Mount Lem- mon. Mir. Dick left Tucson early yes terday for Mount Lennon in the hope of finding the. judge. At a late hour last night TO word had been received from Mir. Dick. Late in the afternoon it was learned that no pa pers had been filed in the court al Tucson.
 Still later. a telephone massage from Warden Thomas H. Rynning oi the penitentiary at Florence brought the information that no papers in the Martin case had been served on hin and it appeared at that hour thai the execution would proceed.
 Although I have received no word from Mir. Dick" said Stephen H. Ab- bey last night, upon his arrival 1T
