Arkansas Congressman Goes on Mtaord as
Aqamst Battleship Plan.
Approaching the subject from a
new angle. Congressman Goodwin
of Arkansas delivered one of the
best speeches heard on the floor of
the house of representatives in
Washington recently, against the
two battleship policy now being
urged by Gongress. He pointed'
out that it was folly for America to
vie with the war-like European
nations in na^y building. He spoke
of the mad rivalry between Germa
ny and England in their race for
nayal supremacy and scouted the
possibility of war with other coun
tries.
"If Germany should become an
implacable foe we should be com
pelled not only to fight Germany
but the other two members of the
triple alliance. Austra-Hungary and
Italy, as well." he said.
"We are at peace with the world
and all mankind and we do not
stand-in fear of an encroachment
upon our shores by a foreign pow
er. A great American navy is a
useless expenditure of public mon
ey taken from the taxpayers of
this country. We should continue
to proclaim the gospel of peace and
not the hell of war, and if the mon
ey must be spent let us bestow it in
building up the great interior of the
country in the improvement of the
navigable rivers, the drainage of
our swamp and overflow lands, to
make cheaper transportation of the
things we are compelled £o buy and
lessen the transportation charges
on our cotton and our corn and our
lumber and our grain that we have
to sell."

To Pay Convicts.
The payment of convicts or their
families for labors performed while
serving terms in the penitentiary is
sought in Senate Bill. No. 255. by
Senator Smith of this county in the
Senate Thursday of last week, it
provides tfuu the convict shall be
given credit for the amount he
would have earned in similar vol- !
untary labor. From this amount,
the bill provided, each month shail
be deducted the convict's living
expenses and the balance sent to
his family, and if he has no family,
shall be placed to his credit in a
savings bank. The measure a'so
contemplates a library for the con
victs and lectures tending to bene-:
fit them morally and religiously.
It was read twice and referred to
the Penitentiary Committee.
If you have any real estate for
sale list same w.th C. A. Berry, of

More Forage Crops and Boiler Fasiur.s
In the South we nmy or hoar:
get two crops each year from :no^
of our land. Yet fe^v us get therr
In fact, few of us really appreciat
the fact that if our agricultural o.
portunities are greater here tha
elsewhere. it is because our cii'nat

be sown in the cotton and corr
Thus we may build up our soi
while utilizing it to the utmost.
We need to plant more forag’
crops. If we make the cheape
and best meat, we must have se.
era! fields of cow peas, sew m an
p-anuts. sweet potatoes, patch
of rape and bermuda pastures. V.
have packing houses now in Okla
homa Gity and and .one in Little
Rock, and with forage crops w<
can raise cheap meat. We can j
produce cheaner and better meat
here than elsewhere, but we can't i
do this unless w? have plenty of
pasture land and forage crops. We
can't produce cheap meat on corn 1
alone.
This system of live stock farm
ing will reduce our meat bills, oui
grocery bills, our fertilizer bills and
our feed bills. We shall be able to
put aside the proceeds of our cot
ton sales as so much surplus mon
ey. the profit realized from the in
vestment. The fertility of our soil -
will increase in proportion to the
amount of legumes grown and also
the general prosperity of our peo
ple will increase. Last of all there;
will be more satisfaction in living ;
We should establish a system of
permanent pastures. Put the idle
acres to work grow forage crops or
bermuda. Try bermuda anr) white
clover, bermuda and red top or
bermuda and lespedeza. Bermuda
and white clover is bv far the best
and will give almost a perpetual
