The Extension Division of the
Arkansas Agricultural College, co
operating with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, has just print
ed a large Garden Calendar that
will be sent to anyone on request.
It names practically every garden
vegetable that can be grown profit
ably in the state, gives dates for
first and later plantings, dates of
ripening and much other valuable
information. Farmers and others
mav send to Director Extension
Service, old state house, Little
Rock, or Fayetteville, or call on
the county agent who will be sup
plied with copied for distribution.
THE STATE VETERINARIAN.
Dr. R. M. Gow, the state veteri
narian, in the employ of the Arkan
sas College of Agriculture, lives in
Little Rock and has offices in the
old state house. He has charge of
the state serum plant for the man
ufacture of hog cholera serurn and
has three assistant veterinarians,

district. Ail counts agricultural
agents are in constant communica
tion v/ith the state veterlnation.
and farmers should report out
1 breaks of animal diseases promptly
to the agent or to Dr. Gow.
STIL.L. TIKE FOR BERMUDA.
Feed for the stock twelve
months in the year. Bermuda pas
| ture for summer and Bermuda hay
for winter can be-had on any farm.
Why grow cotton to buy hay when
Bermuda grows so readily every
where? Bermuda is the cheapest
feed that can be grown. Bermuda
is adapted to nearly all soils. It is
hardy and very drought resistant.
But above all Bermuda grass is the
richest in feeding value of any
grass grown in the South. Its pro
tein content is higher than any
grass grown. Pasture the Bermu
da already on the place and get
some more started for hay. Start
it during April or May. Use pieces
of sod planted in rows three feet
apart or sow six pounds of seeds
per acre. Start Bermuda and
i then grow livestock on it.
WHY NOT 3E SAFE?
It will be the part of wisdom on
the part of each and every farmer
j in Arkansas fo "play safe" this
j year and grow enough feed for all
I his stock and enough meat and
; vegetables for his family for a
whole year. "Corn. Clover and
| Contentment" and “Pigs. Peas and
I Prosperity" will be good slogans,
i If the European war continues we
I can only market about ten million
j bales of cotton and if farmers grow
fifteen million bales they may ex
pect to get about s;x cents for it,
less than it cost to grow it. Plant
a little more corn, larger patches
of peas, soy beans and peanuts,
and a larger field of Sudan grass,
and another acre of sorghum, and a
I bigger garden, and get another cow
| or a few calves and a few more
! pigs and be safe, and then hold cot
j ton until December or January—
Why not?

the surest way to stop them.

With a deep feeling of gratitude
toward those who supported me
and with the kindest feeling toward
those who saw fit to support my
opponent, 1 want to express my
appreciation for the handsome ma
jority given me in my race for
County Clerk on the 29th of last

The loyal support of my friends
and this large majority will ever be
an inspiration to me and I will try
to show my appreciation by making
Union county a very efficient and
courteous County Clerk.
Yours gratefully,

By F. W. Scott,
Secy, and Trea8
Prrsidfntif.l Pointers,
The first presidenCal election
took place January 7, 1789. Only
1 0 of the original 13 States took
part in the election, New Yo’-k not.
having passed an ejection law and
North Carolina and Rhode Island
having not ratified the Gonstitu
tion. 7‘ne first Wednesday of Feb
ruary following, the electors made
.hoice for pres;dent and vice presi
dent and their votes were counted
1 April 6. Washington received 69.
I one vote of every elector: Adams,
| 34: Jay, 9: Harrison. 6; Rutledge,
j 3: Hancock. 4: Clinton. 3; Hunt
ingdon, 2: Milton, 2. and three oth
ers one each. Washington anc
Adams thus became president and
vice president and were inaugu
rated in N -w York, April 30. 1789
Washington during his two terms
had only five cabinet officers, sec
; retaries of state, treasury and war.
; postmaster-general and attorney
' general. Adams had in addition a
secretary of the navy: Taylor a
secretary of the interior; Cleveland,
in first term, a secretary of agri
culture; Roosevelt, second term, a
secretary of commerce and labor,
and Wilson a secretary of labor as
well as a secretary of commerce,
j James Wilson, secretary of agri
j culture, held under four adminis
| trations, 16 full years which is the
record Under Roosevelt there
were more cabinet changes than
under any other president; there
i being 28 different appointments.
! Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, John
i Quincy Adams, Van Buren and
Buchanan had all been secretary
of state. Monroe, Grant and Taft
had been secretary of war.
i ne presidential succession is
fixed by chapter 4 of the‘ acts of
j the Forty-ninth congress, first ses
' sion. in case of the removal, death,
resignation, or inability of both the
president and vice president, then
the secretary of state shall act as
president until the disability of the
president is removed or a president
is elected. If there be no secreta
ry of stats, then the secretary of
the treasury will act; and the re
mainder of the order of succession
is as follows; The secretary of
war. attorney-general, postmaster
general, secre!ary of the navy, and
secretary of the interior.
The acting president must, upon
taking office, convene congress if
not already at the time in session,
| in extraordinary session, giving
j twenty days'notice. This act ap
I plies only to such cabinet officers
as shall have been confirmed by
■ the senate and are eligible under
the consitution of the presidency
Secretary Lane of the interior
department could not succeed to
| the presidency as he was born in
Canada.
The presidential election of
1916 will take place on Tuesday,
November 7, when the qualified I
voters of each state will cast their
ballots for electors equal to the j
number of senators and represent
atives in congress.
But no senator nor representa
j tive, nor person holding an office j
of profit or trust under the United
States, can be an elector.
The whole number of electoVs is
5jol.
At the beginning of our govern
ment most of the electors were
chosen by the legislatures of their
respective states, the people hav
ing no direct participation in their
choice: and one state, South Caro
lina, continued that method till the
outbreak of the Civil war.
Shortage of Paper Material.
The attention of the Department
of Commerce is called, by the pres
ident of a large paper manufactur-!
ing company, to the fact that there
is a serious shortage' of raw ma
terial for the manufact ure of paper
including rags and old papers. H
j urges that the department should
i make it known that the collecting
| and saving of rags and old papers
would greatly better existing con
ditions for American manufactur
ers.
Something like 15.000 Jt ns of
different kinds of paper and paper
board are manufactured every day
in the United States and a large
proportion of this, ; fter it has
served its purpose, could be used
over again in some class of paper.
A large part of it. however, is eith
er bu: ned or otherwise wasted.
This, of course, has to be replaced
by new mateiials. In the early
history of the paper industry pub
licity was given to the importance
of saving rags, it is of scarcely
less importance now. The depart
ment of commerce is glad to bri-'g
this matter to the attention of the
public in the hope that practical
results may Row from it. A little
attention to the saving of rag - and
old papers will mean genuine relief
to our paper industry and a dimin
ishing drain upon our sources of
supply for new materials.
The above is a copy cf a circular
recently sent ou^ by Secretary
Redfield, of the department of
commerce and labor, calling atten
tion to the fact that there is a se
rious shortage in the raw material
needed in the manufacture of pa
per and urging the saving cf all
waste paper ar.d rags. In an in
terview the other day he declared
that unless something is done to
relieve the conditions a serious pa
per famine is threatened.
One or l wo Terms lor President?
Six ye9.r0 for a President. anri no
reflection, is proposed in a resolu
tion for a constitutional amend*
ment.introduced by Representative
V/amen Bailey of Pennsylvania.
He was a member of the Baltimore
convention of 1912, and of the
committee wh’lch drafted the one
term plank. He told the House that
Mr. Bryan, who was a member ol
that committee, objected to pledg
ing the candidate to one term;
The Nebraskan thought it enough
to state the principle, leaving the
party and the candidate free to ad
vocate a reelection, until such time
as the country might adopt an
amendment prohibiting it.

The City
of ..
Numbered
Days
By FRANCIS LYNDE
Mr. Lynde has outdone
himself in this story of “tVIir
apolis," the “sudden” west
ern city that grew up in the
shadow of a big irrigation
dam under construction, and,
for a time, threatened to stop
the dam’s completion.
For the men there is the
story of the big business
grafter and the government
engineer.
For the women there is
the story of the lovely and
loving little woman who
wouldn't let her man be any
smaller than the man she
knew and loved in him.
And for everyboi !y there
is a most charming picture of
western life. :-j

The Difference
Between Men_
Is chiefly the difference in their habits. Some men's
chief aim is to have a good time as they go along, not worry
about their family's future welfare and spend freely for ev
erything that they think they want. Their motto is "Come
easy, go easy." Sickness or old age is a real calamity to
this cla.ss. Other men who start out with no better chance
think of the future business that they hope some day to
have. They think of their families that they wish to edu
cate and provide for as they grow up. They think of sick
ness that sometimes comes and old age that is sure to come
and they make preparation for all these by SAVING some
little part of everything they earn. Their motto is to spend
nothing thoughtless, but save for real needs and business
chances. Which class are you in? If you have never
saved, resolve to do so now. No account is so small but
