FAVOR CHANGE IN
DATE OF PRIMARY
Members of State Committee
Favor Holding Democratic
Primary Month Later.
Little Hock. Apr. 5.—If it
can In* done, the Democratic
state centraT committee, when
it meets in Little Rock. April
12, will set the date of the
general state primary for six
weeks or two months after
the third Wednesday of next
March. When the date was
set for the third Wednesday
of March 1916, the general
election was the first Mon
day in September. The last
legislature consolidated the
state with the national elec
tion, which fixes the date for
rsovemner.
Many members of the state
central committee believe that
the primaries should be held
a couple of months later on
account of the election consol
idation. As the date for the
primaries was fixed by the
state convention, many mem
bers believe that is beyond
the power of the state com
mittee to change the date. The
matter promises to 6e one of
the most important questions
to be considered by the com
mittee when it meets in little
Rock this month.
Vincent M. Miles will very
ikely be selected as national
•ommitteeman to succeed the
late Judge Kavanaugh.

A MODERN MIRACLE
Consider the Pumpkin..
It hideth itself amidst the
growing corn.
It is the lowliest of all things
:hat groweth in the fields.
The proud farmer spurneth
it and the small boy laugheth
it to scorn.
The wise men of the Agri
cultural College lectureth not
upon it. Never hath it caused
i car shortage.
The bugs devoureth it not
inti the beetles and the worms
and the moths and'the weevils
and all the mighty host that
preyeth upon the haughty
Corn and Wheat and the
quids, give it the go-by.
Rehold, it is the goat of the
Cogel able Kingdom.
Yet there cometh a day
IVlien the wife of the husband
nan cutteth the Pumpkin into
rolden squares and boileth it j
ind addeth thereunto sweet
spices, yea even cinamon and
doves and ginger.
And Lo! A miracle is
-U 4
She bringeth forth from the
>verthe pumpkin pit*, and the
)dor therof is sweeter than
he breezes from Dutch.
And the husbandman and
tnd the small boy and the
Hired Man falleth down in
adoration and watereth at the
nout h.
For it is a morsel fit for
kings and princes.
