Reports from county agents in
dicate thb.t we are to have next
month the greatest campaign for
infertile eggs ever put on in any
state. Dealers, bankers, farmers
and womens’ clubs are^ interested
and working because it will mean
more satisfaction to th° consumer
and more money to farmers and1
dealers. Separate ail roosters
from the flock on May 1 and sell
all that are not kept for breed
ing purposes during the week be
ginning May 8. and then be able to
sell after May 10 guaranteed infer
tile eggs. All farmers who will be
able to do this are asked to list
their names with the county agri
cuHural agent. Swat the rooster!
FIGURE ON AL FALFA.
Very little alfalfa is grown in Ar
kansas. Many people think it can
not be grown in the state and yet in
many counties may be found some
most enthusiastic believers in a I -
f s' fa. Much land may need drain
age and much may need lime and
most lands in Arkansas will da
mand inoculation, but alfalfa is
worth considerable effort. The
Extension Service of th< Universi
ty and U. S. Department of Agri-i
culture are anxious to have at least
twelve men in each county in Ar
kansas to try from one to five
acres of alfalfa this year, seeding
'about the last of August or
early in September. Select the |
ground now and plow it eight
inches deep about two months be
fore seeding. • See thg county
agent, or write Director of Exten
sion Service, old state house. Little
Rock, for suggestions.
To Make the Moon Work for Man.
The highest tides in the world
are found in the Bay of Fundy. In
some parts the water at high tide
50 feet above its level at low 1
tide. When the tide is running in
or out there are very swift cur
rents, some of them racing at the
rate of ten knots an hour.
The American consul at St. John,
New Brunswick, tells of plans to
make use of these currents, for
generating electricity in almost un- j
limited quantities. Hydro-electric
works are to be set up near the en
trance of the Basin of Minas, men
tioned in Longfellow's "Evange
line.’’ If successfully carried out.
this plan should make that part of
Nova'Scotia a great manufacturing
country. That would really be
setting the moon at work for man.
h ■■■>cause it is the moon that lifts
the ocean water and makes the
tides. ■,_L

Ti the Democratic Voters of the Srverth
Congressional District:
1 cannot find words to express to
the Democratic voters of the Sev
enth Congressional District my ap
preciation of the splendid endorse
ment given me in the recent]
primaries.
The people not only gave me by
a substantial lead, eight, of ihe
eleven counties of the District, but
l was easily second in the other
th me counties.
This continued expression of
confidence in me can but serve to j
stimulate me to an increased ef
fort to serve the people, if possible !
so to do, with even more diligence
and a greater fidelity.
Sincerely.

Presidential Pointers.
In the second presidential elec
tion, 1392. 15 States took part,
having 132 electoral votes. As ir
1389, Washington received on*1
'ote from every elector, the other
votes being cart as follows:
John Adams, 33. George Clinton.
50. Thomas Jefferson, - 41, Aarot
Burr. 1. Washington as presidin'
and Adams as vice-president were
-'augurated in Philadelphia. March
4, 1333. At the end cf his term
Washington refused to be a candi
date for a third term and the un
written law he laid down has neve;
been overturned.
Tnc- sixth president was the sc
of the second president, and ttv
.we-ty third president was th
grandson of the ninth president.
William Henry Harrison was the
*ighth and Benjamin Harrison the
tenth in decent from Pocahontas j
and John Rolfe. Lincoln was the i
first president wearing a full beard j
Grant the first wearing a mus
tache. Buchanan and Cleveland i
were bachelors when they entered j
the White House as presidents, but!
Cleveland surrendered during first j
term. Washington. Monroe. Pierce!
and Hayes were bom on Friday, j
J. Q. Adams. Pierce and Garfield
were inaugurated on Friday. Ty
ler. Polk and Pierce died oh Fri
day. Lincoln was assassinated on
Friday.
For the first time in our history i
there will be no vacancy in the.
presidency next March when the !
inauguration takes on the |
5th, the 4th beir.grr,ov^ Sunday. If i
Mr. Lansfng is trjuf secretary of
state he wifi be ;^jrg president
On three previous occasions the
inauguration of at president has oc- 1
curred on March the 5th instead
of the 4th. But no one became |
acting president for the 24 hours. ;
because it happened that there was j
no president of the senate pro tem
pore or speaker of the house in of- \
fice on whom the responsibilities
would fall previous to 1886. when
the law of succession was changed.

Norswothy Rclrasro Afirr Preliminary.
A preliminary trial was h li here
last Thursday in the case of the
State against Will Norsworthy,!
charged with the killing of Perry ;
Pinkard at Bernice on the night of 1
April 12th. Norsworthy was re
leased by Judge Holstead. as there i
was no evidence adduced in the
trial to connect him with the kill- \
ing. Farmerville Gazette.
A C.iptjin of Aihicvament at 23.
John Hays Hammond, jr., fur-1
nishes substantial evidence that it I
is not always an unsurmountable j
handicap to be the son of a wealthy -
father. When a young man has!
so applied himself in his first six
years out of college as to have
worked out an invention that may
revolutionize naval warfare, it is j
proper to list him among the i
world's captains of achievement.
When, in addition to that, he has
in prospect $750,000 as a tangible I
token of the appreciation of his
work held by the government of
which he is a citizen, this young
man of 28 has gone far and ar
rived. It is assumed that his radio
torpedo will do all that is claimed (
for it. else congress would not be i
thinking cf paying three quarters
of a million dollars for the owner- j
ship, and the patent offices of the |
United States and foreign coun-1
tries would not have granted the '
young inventor 128 patents.
And if the boy has given six
years of labor and $300,000 (of,
his father's money ) to the working |
out of this invention, he is getting'
none too much for it when he gets
$750,000. Jonn Hays Hammond
is counted among the world's most
eminent mining engineers It has ;
been said that he receives a higher j
fee for his opinion on mining prop-1
i <
erty than any engineer in the
world. In spite of that he is prob
ably a proud person these days and
will not in the lea. t mind if he is
sometimes referred to as fither

Plans have just b(,en completed
for the erectio i of a series of model
homes in the city of Washington
for the purpose of demonstrating
the nation the relationship be
tween good housing and good;
health. These are to be known as
the Ellen Wilson homes, and are;
not in the nature of an experiment. !
but are intended as a demonstra
tion to the Entire United States.
The intimate connection between
bad housing and bad health is
clearly recognized in Washington i
where the alley dwellings have
iong been a matter of concern both !
to the health authorities and to
public spirited citizens who wish
the Capitol city to be an example
to the nation. The aijies have been
pavgd, sewers and water mains
have been laid in them, they are
lighted and cleaned as are the
stiopts Yc-fcthcv keep their did
lead over the streets when it comes
to totaling the figures for disease
and death. •
Such houses as these cannot, of
couse, yield the return upon the
investment that the old houses did.
In fact congress jn its act incorpo
rating the Ellen Wilson homes,
limited its dividends to five per cent
net. But they will yield to their |
stockholders a dividend in. thg form
of satisfaction because of a needed
work well done. To their tenants
they will give relief from preventa
ble sickness and death and an in-|
crease in the joy o» living.

If the war has accomplished no
other useful end. it has advanced
the progress of aviation many
years. In the United States, with
out the spur of military and naval;
aeronautics, aviation was regarded j
as a profession of performers, |
whose main duty was to "loop the !
loop" and provide thrills for crowds. I
Now. with aircraft manufacturers;
turning out aeroplans at the rate of:
1 6 a day. the public is beginning to
realize that it is a remarkably
healthy infant industry, closely
rivalling the unprecedented growth
of automobilerin^ustry in its early
stages. One of the foremost aero- \
nautical experts in the country re
cently said to the writer:
w itmn one yar after the sign
ing of peace between the European
powers, the first a°roniane will
make a successful flight across the i
Atlantic ocean. Very soon aero
planes will be carrying our mails to
inaccessible spots. Shortly after
this will come the cam ing of pas- !
sengers on a schedule as regular i
as that of our Twentieth Century :
limited. Many of us will live to
see the aerial expressed with many j
plants, multiple engines and an j
enormous carrying capacity, which!
w ll take us to San Francisco or
even to London and Pans as easily
as we can now ride to Kansas City
in a railway train." Popular Sci

At the end of each year as you look tack at what you
have accompli.hed. how does the record look to you? Does
it really show a gain toward independence cr does it show a
less? Does year after year record a failure for you. or at
any rate no noticeable gain in your condition?
After a long life of hard work it will not be a very com
forting experience to look back at every year’s record a
record of nothing gained. It will not be a very cheerful
prospect to have to face old age dependent upon your daily
labor. Now is the time to make the record lo$k rignt. Re
solve to save and make every year's record show some
thing laid up to bring you an income later on. The gain of
these years will provide for a comfortable old age and be ^
pleasant record to look back upon. We will he'lp you save.
