SAVING MONEY WITH FOSSILS

From the Scientific American.
 The inyertebrate fossil is the clock by which the geologist tells the time in history when the rock bed con taining the fossil was formed. This clock has been put to practical uses. New York was spending thousands of dollars in search of anthracite coal beds, until geologists demonstrated that the beds in this state could not possibly contain coal. Fossils proved that the rock beds belong to the pevonian age, not the Carboniferous, and the useless expenditure of money at once ceased.

JONES CHAPEL. (Colored.)

We had another heavy rain Satur- day evening and night, continuing far into the day Sunday, prohibiting Sun day school and other church services, and further retarding farm work for the incoming week.
 This and adjoining settlements were shocked last Friday by the fatal acci- dent by which Kerby, the eldest son of Lewis Price, lost his life. We learn that Kerby and younger brother went to the lake near their home to set out some trot-lnes. They carried their guns with them thinking they might see something at which to shoot. The accident occurred when he started to move his brothers gun to avoid danger, noticing it had been placed in the boat somewhat careless ly, when it was discharged with the above results. Kerby bore the name of being very industrious, reliable and obedient, and will be greatly missed from him home. Much sympathy is felt for the family and relatives, and they are commended to Him who doeth all things well.
 Lenolia Gray of Conway came out last week for short visit to relatives and friends here and was taken quite ill after her arrival at the home of l. s. Fortune. She is reported to be some better at this writing.

and laid 50 as to leave about IA to 1-2 inch between. Coarse sand or leaf mold should be used to cover the potatoes from 1 to I-2 inches. When the sprouts begin to come through an additional men of sand should be put on to give greater length to the stem ot the plants.
 Ii the potatoes are bedded before all danger of frost and cold rains mas passed, 1t IS well to cover the bed with boards, canvass or roofing paper, which can easliy be removed when the weather is warm. If these precautions are followed in the pro- ductIon of plants the grower will be able to produce splendid crop of disease free potatoes, unless the land on which the plants were set already had these diseases from some previous crop. To guard against this, it is best to plant on land that has never produced potatoes.
 The use of vine cuttings will also help eradicate disease. As soon as vines are long enough for cuttings, the grower should begin using them. The vines should not be cut too close or too often, however, as such prac- tice would probably reduce the yield of the plants from which cuttings are taken. Potatoes grown from vine cuttings set up to July-4 will usually produce splendid crops of potatoes, which are smooth and of uniform shape and free from diseases. Vine cuttings planted as late as July Is usually make potatoes large enough for seed, and every grower should try to use enough vine cuttings to at least produce seed for the next crop. The field from which the seed is to be saved for planting should be inspect ed before digging and certified as free from diseases, but if found diseased 1t will pay the grower to feed the seed potatoes to livestock and buy certified seed or certified plants for the next years planting.

 Briefly, the anthracite miners want increased wages, the bituminous min CTS want to retain present basic scales, and the operators in both fields want wage proposals. While both sides include various other demands Tn thelr wage proposals, the main is. sue IS wages. In brief, the miners demands are as follows:

By W. II. Laney, Marketing Agent, Agricultural EXtens;on oervIee, UHi- versity of Arkansas.
 The sweet potato industry depends primarily upon the sweet potatoI plants used to produce the crop. Black-rot and stem-rot are the two diseases that are causing the heaviest losses of sweet potatoes in Arkan- sas. Seed potatoes infected with these diseases will produce diseased plants which will carry the diseases to the fields, and render the lands unfit for the profitable production of potatoes for years to come. Diseased plants will cut down the production of potatoes, and the potatoes produced from diseased plants cannot be kept Tn storage without a heavy percent age of rot. Even those that are ap- parently only slightly affected bring very poor prices on the markets and produce dissatisfaction and dislike for sweet potatoes on the part of the consumer. It is therefore very evi- dent that these diseases must be eradicated if we are to get the best results in growing or marketing sweet potatoes.
 The state plant board has main tained for the purpose of preventing or eradicating such diseases as black rot and stem-rot of sweet potatoes
 The inspectors of this board visit the fa al b,, the entire field carefully determine whether there is any stem-rot, which shows in the growing vines, in the field. If none is found the field is listed as eligible for certificaton. When these potatoes are harvested
 the inspector carefully inspects the tu- 1 bers to determine whether or not | there is any black-rot infection. If

This will kill the disease spores that might be on the outside of the potato. The potato beds should be made of sand l or leaf mold which is free from potato diseases. The beds should be few inches higher than the level of the
 ground to provide drainage. The po- tatoes should be pressed into the soil

INVITE CRITICISM ON MAIL SERVICE
DAILY PRESS TO ASSIST
Postmaster General Solicits Comment by Papers-Effort to Improve Ser
 vice from Little Rock.

Postmaster General Work is looking to the daily press to keep him advis- ed as to how the postal service is functioning, and for this purpose he has asked postmasters to send to him clippings of news items and editorial comment on postal matters, both cri- tical and complimentary, according to circular just issued by the post office department. "The newspaper is the medium through which the pub lie is talked to and talks back" said Postmaster General Work, "and it is an indispensable aid in improving the service"
 "There may be warrant for the feel ing toward some public institutions that 1t is a waste of time to make com plaint about poor service" he con tinued, land it may have obtained in the past toward the postal service, but it certainly did not exist under MT. Hays and surely will have no oc- casion to develop during my admin istration. We are going to see that every complaint is thoroughly investi- gated and, if well founded action will be taken to correct any defects. If the service is such as to deserve con- pliments we hope that those who earn them may receive them as a matter of simple justice"
 Although it was done before Post master General Work; order was is sued, the Log Cabin Democrat several weeks ago secured the cooperation of Postmaster G. K. Owen in an effort to remedy the delays of mail between Conway and Little Rock. This paper has been inconvenienced numerous times in recent months by delays in mail to and from Little Rock, and when MT. Owens attention was called to the matter he said similar con- plaints had been frequent. For the purpose of locating the trouble formal complaint was filed along with the postmarked wrapper of an in- sured parcel mailed at Little Rock and not delivered at Conway until the second day following it's deposit in the Little Rock postoffice. It was shown that five trains carrying mail from Little Rock to Conway had left after the parcel was mailed, but it was not until the sixth train that it was dis patched. A large volume of corres- pondence was accumulated during the inquiry, but without developing the exact cause of delay. Mr. Owen said, however, there had been considerable improvement in the service since the inquiry That the trouble is princi- pally in the Little Rock postal serv- ice is indicated by the fact that par cells from St. Louis, Chicago and oth- CT points are seldom delayed; in fact, it has generally been found that quicker delivery of parcel post or der can be had by sending it to St. Louis rather than Little Rock.
 Another matter which Postmaster Owen has been Investigating is delay in the delivery of first-class mail in Little Rock, dispatched on the train leaving Conway at 10:50 and arriv- ing at Little Rock at noon. Instances
