 from certifying out the proposed
 Hartje amendment to the state con.
 stitution, which was voted by the gov. ernor, will be filed in chancery court probably this week, according to J. H
 Carmichael, member of the local bar association committee that is spon- sorlng the governors arti-local legis- lation amendment The governor, as- isted by the committee from the bar association, will seek to prevent Mir. Hopper from certifying out the Hartje amendment and substitute in lieu of 1t the amendment proposed by him.
 The Hartje amendment was ap- proved by the legislature and pro- vides that personal property be as- sessed for local improvements. The governors amendment proposed to prohibit local legislation, and is the shortest amendment ever proposed to the state constitution.
 Plans for the certifcation of the Hartje amendment have been practi- cally completed by Mr. Hopper, and according to statement yesterday, it will be certified out this week unless the bar association obtains the injunc- tion which it seeks. It is practically assured that the question whether or not the governor has power to veto a proposed constitutional amendment coming from the general assembly will be finally determined upon by the supreme court.
 Attorney General J. S. Utley has advised the governor that it is his opinion that he does not have this Members of the local bar, however, contend that the governor has the power and will contest the certification of the Hartie amendment to be voted upon this year. Only three can be submitted to be voted upon at each general election Two amendments had been submitted and accepted by the secretary of state before either the Hartie amendment or the governors amendment had been proposed One was the educa- tional amendment and the other the initiative and referendum.

MERCURY DESCENDS TO
 NEAR FREEZING MARK

The cold wave which began Sun- day morning brought a drop in tenn perature to minimum of 34 degrees, just two points above the freezing mark, according to the reading of the government thermometer here today. Yesterdays maximum was 43 degrees.
 Fair weather, not quite so cold in the northwest portion, but probably with frost, is forecast for Arkansas tonight. Although peach and plum trees are in full bloom, a light frost would probably do little damage, as the high winds have dried the moisture out of the buds.

DEBATING TEAM IS
 PICKED FROM , MEN TRYOUT HARD FOUGHT
Contestants Display Unusual Ability and the Selection Assures
 Hendrix Victory.

On March the thirteenth the audito- rium of Hendrix College rang with the hot argument of the five aspirants for the forensic tilt with Southwest ern University when the tryout for places on the team was held. w. L. Baugh and E. E. Walden won first and second places respectively, being closely followed by Ralph Mcdonald, who was selected by the judges as al- ternate. Millar and Garvin were the other two contestants.
 Upholding the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the Kansas Industrial Court plan of adjusting labor disputes should be adopted turnout the United States" the can- didates advanced the arguments First, that there is a conflict between capital and labor which threatens the American public, and secondly, that the Kansas court is fair to capital and to labor, affords protection to the public, and offers the desired remedy to the eternal conflict.
 Backing their propositions with the numerous illustrations wherein the public has been threatened, and with sound logic to prove that the Indus trial Court of Kansas will afford the desired remedy to these public men, aces, Baugh and Walden are due to invade the Lone Star State, and to .wrest victory from the fighting Tex ans.

 Irish potato planting time is here and it is we'll to consider the i'm portance of treating all seed with disinfectant. This treatment will not prevent mosaic, or curly top, and sim liar diseases which are transmitted in the strain, but it will kill the germ on the surface and make it possible to produce a crop free from scab and other like diseases.
 For dipping either irish or sweet potatoes the corrosive sublimate treatment is recommended. It should not be made up in metal containers and 1t should be remembered that the solution is poisonous if taken inter- nally. In a wooden bucket of hot water dissolve four ounces of cor rosive sublimate. When dissolved pour into a wooden barrel and add water to make g gallons. Cut a notch in a stick to indicate the level of the solution. Put the potatoes in wooden basket or crate (do not use a sack), churn them around and al low them to remain ten minutes Drain and keep in clean sacks or box es until planted After dipping ten bushels, add half an ounce of cor rosive sublimate and enough water to bring the solution up to the origi- nal level Repeat this after each ten bushels have been dipped until 50 bushels have been dipped when a new lot of the solution should be made up.
 It is important to get clean seed to start with, to treat the seed to pre- vent infection and to plant in clean soil, known to be free of potato dis eases. The expense and trouble of treating the seed will be lost if the crop is planted upon soil that has grown diseased potatoes. The only way to get the disease out of the soil it to starve the germs and fungus of potato diseases by planting the land to some other kind of crops.
 Beds for the growing of sweet po- tato slips should be removed from the barn, stable or potato house and the bedding should be of soil which has never been in potatoes. Clean sand is better than manure for bed ding.

highest praise to offer all of the five contestants. Each man delivered a speech well calculated, and truly, to upset any objections the Texans might raise to their proposition.
 The date of the debate is April the seventh. With Baugh and Walden on the delivery end we are easily as- sured of combination which is hard to beat.

commission order reducing freight
charges on coal and coke shipped from
lake docks to interior cities of Wiscon-
sin, will be commenced today in the
United States district court for the
eastern district of Wisconsin by the
Chamber of Commerce of Menominee,
Mich. The plaintiffs assert that the
reduced freight rates on coal, which
went into effect May 10th throughout
Wisconsin, are discrimination against
Michigan shippers and in violation of
the interstate commerce provision of
the federal constitution. They ask for
a permanent injunction against the
commission and against the railroads
to prevent enforcement of the order.
Claim is made by the Menominee Cham
Der of Commerce that this reduction i'll
freight charges on coal is without the
authority of a state commission to
order or enforce. The railroad COM
mission will file an answer to the
plaintiffs complaint within the next
twenty days.

Do you think Ken Williams will
equal or surpass Babe Ruths home run
record this year?
ANSWERS:
L. Bartlett, Market street, clerk =
You haven't heard much about Will
liams in the past couple of days. l
think he's in slump. When Ruth
hit his bunch last year, he didn't know
anything like a slump. And Ruth has
to hit all the harder this year because
he's got a lot of time to make up.
Ruth will walk away from him when
he gets started Saturday.
Roger Soulen, $50 Market street,
student - Williams has just as much
chance to do it as anyone else. He's
shown already that he can knock 'em
out like the best of them. But l think
the odds are on the side of Bambino.
Miss Elizabeth Harpolen, Dayton
street, Office clerk - really hope that
Williams will do it, because think he
deserves it. Babe Ruth got a lot of
money last year and lot of publicity
and think that it's Williams turn
now. Anyhow, | think that Babe Ruth
is a hideous looking creature; and
Williams is at least better looking.
Miss Dorothy narpolen, Dayton
street, office clerk = l don't think that
looks has anything to do with it. 1
know lot of people who are good
looking but who don't amount to any
thing. What Babe Ruth lacks in looks
he makes up in home runs, and 1 think
he'll win this years record, too. And
Williams won't even be in the race.
guessed it was going to rain yester-
day and won. Wait and see if this
next guess doesn't come true.

SEEK TO EXTEND
LOCAL BUS LINE
Lake Shore Transportation
Company to Extend OPP
erations to Waukgan.
WAITING FOR PERMIT

Motor transportation between Keno
sha and Waukegan, similar to that
which has been in effect between Ke-
nosha and Racine, will be established
in the near future by the Lake Shore
Transportation company, of Kenosha,
providing the city council of Waukegan
acts favorably on the petition of the
company for a permit to operate in
that city. Morris Plous, Louis Plous
and Frank Fink, all of Kenosha, are
the promoters of the company and for
more than year they have success
fully operated bus line plying be-
tween Racine and Kenosha. The same
prompt and safe service is promised to
cities south of Kenosha, it being the
plan of the company to make the line a
through one from Waukegan to Racine.
The extension of the lines would not
in the least interfere with the present
schedule of the bus line to the north as
additional motor buses will be secured
to handle the traffic to the south.
Seek Waukegan Permit.
A petition from the company has
been presented to the Waukegan city
commission in which the plans of the
company were explained and permits
sion asked to use the streets of Wau-
kegan. A representative of the com
pany appeared before the Waukegan
city commission and told of the sue
cess which has greeted the motor line
now existing between Kenosha and Ra-
cine and also between Racine and
Burlington.
1t is now desired to extend to Wau-
kegan and an Illinois corporation is
being perfected. The promoters plan
to appear before the Illinois Com
merce Commission to request permits
sion to operate but before this is done
it is planned to present the matter to
the cities and towns in Illinois through
which the buses will operate in order
that their consent will be extended.
Winthrop Harbor, it is pointed
out, already has consented. The mat
ter is to BE brought before the Zion
council tonight. The plan is to make
Waukegan the south terminal of the
company.
I'VE plan to give Waukegan at least
two hour service-better if the pat
ronage warrants it," the promoter of
the concern stated. With the perrnis-
sion of the city we will stop at any
street to pick up passengers. We
have a petition signed by large mum
Der of people living north of Wauke-
gan who have expressed desire for
the line to start operation in order
that they can, come here to shop"
Members of the Waukegan city COM
mission all expressed themselves fav-
orably and practically announced that
when the company has become incor-
porated that permission to operate
here will be granted. The company
it is assumed, does everything in its
power to protect its patrons, even to
insuring each passenger for $4,000.
1t is believed that the bus line tc
Waukegan would serve as convenient
means of travel for many local people

cations are that the company will be.
