BACK UP THE GOVERNOR

Attorney Anthony J. Dimond is right when he called the members and guests at tention yesterday afternoon at the Cham Der of Commerce luncheon that at least from standpoint of humanity all Alaska should unite and back up at once, Governor Parks resolution in obtaining appropria- lions for the construction of new hospi- tai for the care of the Territory's mentally i'll patients. Do not stop to figure out where the hospital should be erected, be it in Ore gon, Washington, Alabama, or Alaska, but first of all endorse the movement, for con- ditions at the present institution are miser- able," he asserted with much feeling.
 The Pioneers of Alaska have endorsed Governor Parks effort and after hearing Attorney Dimond speak on the subject we are convinced, and all the guests and mem- bers must have thought so, from the tone of the applause which greeted the conclu- sion of his remarks, that this question is most urgent and wholehearted support should be rendered the Governor immedi- ately.
 Let every club in Alaska go on record and thus arm the Governor with creden- tials not to be ignored.

JUDGE CLEGG'S SUGGESTION

The suggestion made by Judge Clegg yesterday that a memorial should be erect ed in the Territory to commemorate and perpetuate the memory of Secretary W; II. Seward is a suggestion which should be supported by every civic body or organiza- ton, and individual citizens of the Territory: The local Chamber of Commerce should take the initiative in this matter and put 1t over.
 Judge Clegg said he believed the town of Seward would be an ideal location for a monument or statue of Sec. Seward, in whose honor this townsite was named. What would be more fitting than splendid memorial, carved from stone, placed in a local public park, wherein one could rest or gaze upon the likeness of he who pur- chased Alaska fro mRussia, and reflect?
 All Seward should congratulate the learned Judge for his thoughtful sugges- tion. The next thing to do is to get busy and make it a reality.

GET BUSY

Mayor Ray has proclaimed this week as "Clean-up Week" in Seward. Let's make it a real one this year. Let's shine up down. town Seward as never before.
 Nature has blessed us with exception al weather. The spring days are growing in beauty. Let's make the city do the same.
 Resident owners will take care of homes, gardens, lawns and vacant lots and the town officials will see that all debris is carted away.
 But there are buildings downtown which haven't had bath, or coat of paint in years. It doesn't look we'll to see be- grimed building alongside of new one or freshly painted one It isn't fair to the multitude of visitors; it isn't fair to Sew ard to neglect the thrills of cleanup and paint-up.
 Let's make all the buildings glisten. Let's make Seward spotless town. Let's make our tourist guests glad they came.

THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY

Another great advance has been made toward the universal adoption of the eight hour day through the recent agreement of of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Belgium to recommend it's official recognition by their govern ments.
 The struggle of industrial toilers for a shorter work-day and better working con- ditions is long story that would fill many volumes. But it has been on the whole a successful struggle in most civilized count ries, and while the methods employed to se- cure victory have been at times open to question, there is no doubt that both em- ployer and employee are better off today because of it.
 But while the eight-hour day is no doubt reasonable and desirable for the aver age wage-earner we know of no one who ever made mark in the world who confin- ed his efforts to eight hours.

IN BEHALF OF OUR FORESTS

If trees could vote we would not have to speak for them. Plenty of attention would be paid to their welfare. Since they don't go to the polls we all have duty to- ward them.
 Fifty years ago the first organized ef- fort to help the forests was made by the United States government. The American Tree association, with headquarters at Washington, D. C., is observing the centen- nial by the publishing of the Forestry Primer," by Charles Lathrop Pack.
 Pack tells in the primer how Dr. Franklin B. Hough was appointed in 1876 as special agent to inquire into forest con- ditions. This was the first step taken for the protection of the trees this country ever made

MANS BRUTALITY TO MAN

Always has the heart of every Ameri- can school-boy ragged over those Hessians who were hired by George III to fight Gen: Washington, and the present exposition of the details of that hiring is enough to re- vive the rage in present-day grown-ups
 Those Hessians were "sold" at $75 per head, an additional sum for each man kill ed in action, three wounded to be counted as one dead In short, the more killed the more money in the pockets of the owners; and so, the Landgrave of Hessen-C Cassel congratulated his agent in America over the fact that of 1850 of his subjects in the battle of Trenton only 300 survived. Every time that Washington killed Hessian, he put money in royal pocket.
 Americans have despised those Hes sian soldiers because they were the hire. lings from non-combatant country. Hac they known that their masters hoped to profit by their slaughter, maybe they woulo have gone over to Washington. However there is no royalty of consequence in Hes sen-C -Cassel or Hesse anything else, now Royal brutality dug its own grave and where it isn't tottering into, it is being push ed in.

1t is alleged that Mr.. Smith took n
quantity of poison Saturday morning.
His illness was first discovered by his
grandson, Robert Sigler, about 10
o'clock that morning, the latter i'm
mediately notifying his mother and
other relatives. A physician was
summoned and temporary relief given
the aged man. He died at 1 80 o'clock

POca Loses To HOxie

The Poca Hi football team lost their
game Wednesday with Hoxie by a
60 score.
The Hoxie High School last spring
scheduled a game with Pocahontas for
this week but the high school there is
without team this fall. However
Clay Doyle, principal of the school,
i'm order to fulfill the schools contract,
brought over team composed of a
number of former football stars who
live in Hoxie.
They gave the local team some valu-
able scrimage and gave Coach Edw .f1s
chance to look over his 1926 pros
poets.
The game opened with Poca receiv-
ing. The entire midfield, neithercmfw
near midfield, neither team developing
sustained drive. In this half Spikes
and Brown made a few short gains
for Poca but neither made much pro-
gress for lack of interference. Ira
bue and Spaulding each covered a
Hoxie tumble when the ball was being
edged through Poca's defense.
During intermission between halves,
Glen Richardson, big guard around
whom much of the teams success cen
tered last year, arrived and drew a
big ovation from the crowd. He was
pushed into a dressing room and
emerged in uniform in time to start
in the last quarter. His work, espec-
tally on defense, was brilliant and was
La big factor in holding back the yisi-
tors drive.
Tolton Lemons, who has not vet
entered school but who is planning 70
enter later, played in Poca's backtie'd
the last half and proved to be the same
'llashy hard hitting back that earned
, him the title last year Of RED GRAM
the Second" Lemons got away for
Il twenty yard run, thirty yard gain
and two of lesser length. The team
is badly i'm need of him as regular.
The work of Richardson and Lem
mons was in vain for when, after the
ball was lost within ten yards of a
score, Hoxie punted and Frank Rogers,
Poca's safety, muffed the catch and a
Hoxie player fell on the ball twelve
yards from Poca's goal Three line
plunges by Hoxie carried the ball
seven yards and a short forward oass
put over Hoxie's touchdown. Goal
was missed.
The game ended before the ball was
again put in play.

IMPORTANT ITEMS
IN FIELD SELECTION

Some points in field selection OF SEED
corn are much more important IMAM
others, according to e. A. Kerr, county
agricultural agent
THE most important consideration
in field selection is the yield Of sound
corn per stalk under average condi-
tions," Mr.. Kerr said.
Among important characteristics to
note in field selection during Seed Corn
Week-frst week in October-in Ran
dolph county, are:
The yield of sound corn per plant
Freedom from disease, both of stalk
and ear.
The high yielding stalk should show
that its high yield is not due to its
having special advantages, such as
more space or richer soil. II should
show high yield under average condi-
tiOns.
The ears should have a good shuck
covering. This is Eiore important in
the southern part of the state on ac-
count of corn weevils.
The ears should have a shank Of
sufficient length to permit the ear to
hang down so as to shed water.
Relatively low stalks with low ears
are preferable.
Method of Field Selection-A large
burlap bag with straps attached SO
that it may be swung over the should
er makes a convenient receptacle for
carrying the selected ears. The per-
son making the selection should go
through the field, taking from two
rows at a time, and shuck the ears
as they are gathered. BY shucking
the ears as they are gathered, many
undesirable ears may be left on the
stalk. When selecting ears Of prolific
varieties, both ears should be taken
from the desirable plants. The lower
ear is apt to be the smaller but the
grains from it are as good as from the
upper ear.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS BADLY
NEED MORE REVENUE
By Arthur B. Hill,

State Superintendent Of Education.
The constitutional limit placed upon
the amount of tax a community can
vote for its own use seriously handi-
caps the progress of the public schools
in Arkansas. Amendment No. 13
which makes possible the increasing
of local revenue for schools by vote of
the people should meet with the
hearty approval of the people Of the
state. This amendment does not place
any additional tax upon any commu-
nifty unless the majority of the quail
fed electors of the local school dis.
tricts see fit to vote tax upon them
selves. In other words, the amendment
simply gives the people of the COM
munity the privilege to do for their
schools what they want to.
In many of our local school districts
che need for school revenue is impera-
alive and the amendment will make
possible the relief necessary.
In many school districts in Arkan-
sas the majority Of the people have
volunteered an extra millage. This in
dicates that they would be glad to vote
an extra millage upon themselves if
permitted by the constitution.
l hope that the people in districts
not needing additional revenue will be
glad to vote for Amendment No. 10 in
order that relief may be secured in
districts so much in need.

operation for the removal of his ton
sis, has so far improved as to be able
to again assume his duties.

performed at Jonesboro, Mr.. Kerr re-
turned home but soon began to suffer
hemorrhages. DR.. Hamil, Pocahontas
specialist, was consulted and he sue
ceeded i'm checking the flow of blood.
The report that Mr.. Kerr was taken

Some 'Taters

Ed Holt, of the Goodwin Company
here, has sweet potato patch in his
home garden from which he will har-
vest more than 40 bushels of tubers
He has been exhibiting two of the
potatoes which, together, weigh seven
pounds and three ounces. He has dug
several hills and is getting a bushel
every eight or ten hills. Since he has
400 hills he expects a 40-bushel har-
vest. AT SO a bushel, his crop will be
worth $120
How many farmers this year( or any
other year, will get $12O from 400
stalks of cotton?

Cy Adams Says:

The man who ridicules another is
usually inferior to the one he ridicules.
The man who works under pressure
often makes less mistakes than the
man of leisure.
Concentration helps eliminate non
essentials.
To magnify small blemishes is to
fail to see the object in its entirety.
Arkansas ranks fourth in CONNER
cial peach production, being excelled
by California, Georgia and New York.
With the increasing interest in the
soybean i'm the state, there has come
a demand for additional information
on practical phases of production.
This information is available to farm
ers of Arkansas through the county
farm agents.
BY field selection it is possible to
change gradually any of the charac-
teristics of the corn plant or ear.
With winter approaching, plans can
be made to plan for next year on the
farm.
The proper utilization Of the land is
of interest only as it serves the farm
er and the state-and the land.
Production per man and per family
is more important than production per
acre.
