Creation of Lieutenant Governor
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 1.—It will
probably be up to the Arkansas
Supreme Court to whip some
sort of a measure that will hold
.water, out of Amendment No.
16 which gives to Arkansas a
distinguished personage, to be
known as a Lieutenant Govern
or. This amendment is a crea
tion, fearfully and wonderfully
made. It would appear as
though it has been adopted by a
majority of those voting on the
subject in the recent election,
but even its adoption is a ques
tion that must be solved by the
supreme court.
Should the Supreme Court de
cide the amendment to be legally
adopted it will still be an office
without an officer, for the law
becomes effective September 1,
1916, and no provision is made
for the election of a Lieutenant
Governoy until the election of
1916.
The amendment is full of
holes, but since it has been
adopted by a majority of those
voting on the measure, the su
preme court may take upon it
self the duty of being official
law maker and straighten out
the kinks.

The Agricultural Colleges.
The farmers of Arkansas have
I four district Agricultural Col
leges to which they can send
j their girls and boys, where they
can receive a practical and use
ful education in farm and domes
tic life, and at the same time
'get the advantage of literary
'training, and the farmers should
'send their children to these
'schools. It will cost but little
|"for a boy or girl to attend one
'of these colleges for a term, and
•i am sure if the boy or girl at
tends one term there -will be ex
tra efforts made to send them
through until they graduate.
j'The boys and girls who gradu
ate from these colleges can go
back on the farm better equip
ped for useful service, and bet
ter able to make farm life more
prosperous, happier, and more
attractive. I speak from per
sonal knowledge when I tell you
of the great advantages these
agricultural colleges can give
your boys and girls.
We need the highest degree of
i intelligence on the farms, and
nothing will pay bigger and bet
ter returns on the farm than an
j agricultural education. The
;boy who has an agricultural ed
ucation and goes back on the
farm with his father’s wisdom,
knowledge and experience to
i help him, will make a good farm
jer nine1 times out of ten. We

cannot say that nine out of ten
farmers are good farmers now.
jWe all know that. So strain a
point to send your boys to one of
| these colleges.
1 One of the splendid features
of an agricultural education is
the knowledge obtained in re
gard to stock breeding and stock
raising. Arkansas must imme
diately turn her attention to
I stock if we are going to prosper
as we should. The time is com
'ing when we will make our mark
in stock raising, and now is the
'time to give the boys an educa
tion that will ena.ble them to do
I their best. Other states are ad
vancing along this line, and if
! we educate the boys we can keep
pace with them.
J One of the colleges is located
at Russellville; one at Monticel
lo; one at Jonesboro; and one at
Magnolia. Write to the Agri
cultural College at either place
and ask for information. They
will tell you the cost. They are
Jail maintained by the state and
you are a taxpayer. Take ad
vantage of the opportunity.
They are all good schools. Take
your choice, but try and send
your boy or girl to one of them.

NO REASON FOR IT.
When Newport Citizens Show A
Way.
There can be no reason why
any reader of this who suffers
the tortures of an aching back,
the annoyance of urinary disor
ders, the pains and dangers of
kidney ills will fail to heed the
words of a neighbor who has
found relief. Read wrhat a New
jport citizen says:
mrs. vj. vv. v^ucneiiour, 010
Main street, Newport, says:
“Two of my family had symp
toms of kidney trouble, such as
backache and dizzy spells. The
kidney secretions were painful
in passage and filled with sedi
ment. A cold always made the
trouble worse. Doan’s Kidney
Pills strengthened the back and
| regulated the action of the kid
1 nevs.”
| Price 50c at all dealers- Don’t
1 simply ask for a kidney remedy
j—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
'same that Mrs. Gochenour had.
