Elections.
Arkansas has already had many
elections this year and still there
are more to follow. There have
primary elections for every office
on the calender of every govern
mental division, national, state,
district, county and municipal.
The general municipal elections
have already been held, and we
have yet before us the general
biennial election this fall and we j
are well in the midst of the nation
al campaign.
There is, however, another elec
tion which must not be overlooked
and which, in many aspects, is of
greater importance to the individ
ual elector than any of the other
elections. This is the annual
school election. Saturday. May 18.
As the public school is the very
basis, the foundation stone, of good
government, so are the duties of
those who vote at the school of
gravest important. The divisions
are so small, each neighborhood,
almost being a separate unit, that
each vote is an important factor.
It is important that good citizens,
who are intelligently interested in !
better public school conditions and
who will devote their time and.
energy to the cause, be elected di
rectors. It is also important that
a sufficient school tax be voted.
All citizens are urged to vote at
the school election Saturday. May.

Supt. of Public Instruction.
The Effect of Planting Foreign brown Potatoes
There is no royal road to suc
cess with potatoes. Success is
attained only by thorough familiar
ity with the plant and its habits of
growth and even then conditions
must be made to meet as com
pletely as possible the requirements
of the plants. There are two
guide posts which are especially
prominent this season. Namely
the danger of infecting the land
with potato diseases acquired from
foreign grown potatoes and the
haste, which would mean waste,
from planting in wet soil. There
are two fairly surely results to fol
low the latter course, having a poor
stand caused from rotting, as well
as having to hop clods all summer.
The foreign grown potatoes be
ing imported now are fine in ap
pearance and are much cheaper,
but with them comes the danger of
inoculating the soil with serious
diseases and the danger of greatly
lessening the yield (in some in
stances 50 per cent) to say noth
ing of the fact that they are not
adapted to our soil and climate or
that the damage caused by a dis
eased potato is not limited to i |
single season as soils once infectec j
remain unfit for potato culture foi
many years.

flood Danger for Monroe Not Over.
H. A. Mangham. secretary of the
Tensas Basin Levee board, was in
Monroe Monday, having come di- j
rect from the levees in Arkansas,
protecting this district. Mr.Mang
ham told a representative of the
New-Star that the Red Fork levee ;
had not broken, but that all hope of j
saving it had been abandoned and
he expected at any time to hear of
its breaking. He stated that the
water from a break in Red Fork
would flood this section just the
same as a break is 'Possum Fork
or any of the other upper levees
under the control of the Tensas
Basis Levees board. Mr.Mangham
believes that much of the water
now rushing through the break at
Panther Point will find its way into
Boueuff river because of the coun- [
try below being full from the break 1
in the Selem levee near Alsatia.
Boeuff river, already out of its
banks from the rains, will flood a
large section of country including
much of Richland parish. Back
water from Boeuff river will come
up though the LaFourche and
overflow a portion of Ouachita par
ish. Although this was Monday
the Red Fork levee was still hold- j
ing Wednesday afternoon
and while the water is steadi
ly rising at Monroe it is not doing
so over one inch every 24 hours.
A Gold Watch to Cotton Club Boys.
Ad Hamburg, manager of the j
Lesser-Goldman Cotton Co. ©i'j
Little Rock, makes the following ;
offer: A special premium gold
watch, properly inscribed, will be
awarded to the boy producing and
exhibiting the best bale of staple J
cotton, the staple to be not less
than one inch and a quarter in
length and the bale to weigh not
less 500 pounds. A price of 25
cents per pound is guaranteed for
the bale receiving this special
premium. All other bales entered
in this competion will be sold at
public auction at the Board of
Trade in Little Rock. This is an
exceptionally fine premium for,
special work in cotton. Every boy j
who grows staple cotton should
compete for it. In this contest
there are no restrictions as to acre
age. The award will be based
solely upon length and quality of
lint and not at all upon yield or
cost of production as in the regular j
cotton contest. A boy may enter
for this prize in addition to com- i
peting in the regular Cotton Glub
work. Or he may enter this con
test alone. Seed of the staple
cotton may be obtained by address
ing Geo. W. Howard. Hope. Ark
All boys interested in this offer are
requested to notify T. M. Jeffords,
Old State House. Little Rock, be

Notice.
There will be a call meeting of
the Fair Association of Union
County. Ark., for the purpose of
j electing directors and attending to
other business that may come be
fore the association. Certainly
the citizens of this great county
are not going to loose sight of the
fair this fall. 1 here is nothing
that could possibly benefit our
j county as much as a fair. Nothing
! educates our farmers so rapidly as
actual demonstrations of what
others in the county are doing in
1 the way of advanced methods of ;
' farming, fruit raising and the many
; other interests that are presented
| at a first class fair.
We desire to have the farmers
i and business men of this county,
i also the boys who are members, or
who wish to join the Corn and
Cotton Clubs, to be present with us
at the court house in El Dorado on
Saturday. 1 :30 p.m.. April 27.1 91 2.
