WALTER L. POPE FOR

The Ledger man had the honor of
entertaining a few minutes Wednes-
day morning, Judge Walter l.. Pope
of POcahOntas. The reader of the
Ledger by scanning the fourth page of
the paper will see that he is a candi-
date for the very important office of
Associate Justice of Supreme Court of
Arkansas. The judge is only 81 years
of age and that he has been a mem
Der of the Legislature and presiding
judge of the 10Th Judicial Circuit is
evidence enough that he is a man Of
fine attainment and of high character.
His manner impressed us as being
descendant of old school parents that
made the south famous in the heyday
of her glory. Judge Pope desires to
fill one of the two vacancies on the
supreme bench created by a recent
constitutional amendment, and we be-
lieve. after becoming acquainted with
the judge, that should he be elevated
to the position he would fill it with
honor and credit to himself and the
state. Before casting your ballot we
urge the voters to give Judge POpe's
candidacy due consideration. In cast
ing a ballot for him we sincerely be-
lieve you will make no mistake.-Lin-

U. S. INSPECTOR
TESTIFlES In THE
FULCHER CASE
INV Dispatch A. p. Wirel


TUCSON, Ariz., April FL L. Coop
er, pOstoffice Inspector and witness
for the government, was one of the
main features of the day in the trial
of Thomas and Sgd. Fulcher, father
and son, who are facing charges of
train robbery in the United States
district court here. Cooper's testimony
was hot of startling nature, but
consisted mainly of the identification
of a series. of articles, previously pre-
septed in evidence.
Later in the DAY rhe description of
the guns worn by the train robbers
and another description Of guns, sold
to have been carried by the Fulchers
drew the interest of the crowded
courtroom, but otherwise the proceed
ings of the trial were devoid of in
terest. Government witnesses, at
tempting to identify articles as hav-
ing been a portion of the stolen mail,
took up the majority of the time. A
large number of cowmen, friends and
acquaintances of the accused men,
have remained in the courtroom
throughout the entire trial and the
interest in the case among them is
intense.
The Fulchers, pioneer cowmen and
horse ranchers, as we'll as the Brad
berrys, one of whom, John Bradberry,
was one of the officers who assisted
in the search for the robbers and sub
sequent allegations made against the
Fulchers, all are well known among
the cattlemen of Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona. Attorneys said today
that the length of the trial was indef-
mite, the government having not yet
closed it's case.

IMPROVEMENT in
GENERAL FARM
CONDITION seen

WASHINGTON, April 2.-"Material
Improvement in general farm condi-
tions over a year ago was reported
today by Chairman Cooper of the fed
eral farm loan board on the basis of
advice from the presidents of the II
federal reserve banks.
Higher prices for hogs and cattle,
Cooper said, have offset effects of the
corn surplus, and the livestock in
dustry generally was declared very
much improved
Chairman Cooper warned, however,
against over production this year in
cotton and potatoes. Despite previ-
Gus warnings, he said, land bank pres
idents from the south unanimously
indicated that farmers are planning
to increase their acreage"
each farmer or community is per
fectly well aware" he emphasized,
that a 100000 bale crop this year
they believe in the need of reducing
acreage but they want the other fell
low, or other section, to do it so they
will reap the benefite"
Early reports on intentions of farm
ers to plant potatoes indicated over
production and lower prices, Mr.
Cooper said.
Winter wheat acreage in the north
west was described as about normal
with conditions good.
Money for mortgage loans was hello
plentiful at low interest rates in al
most every district.
