URGE Passage of Bill.

Little Rockville officials Of the
agricultural experiment station of the
University of Arkansas, have issued a
circular letter urging the passage of
Senator McKenZie's bill providing for
an investigation of the different types
of soil in Arkansas and for their
analysis, the act calling for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to carry on
the work. They claim that the plan
embodied in the bill is not an expert
ment, that it has had years of sue
cessful an bication in other states,
notably in Missouri, Illinois and Ohio,
and has never been a failure.
The objects of the bill are in line
with suggestions recently offered at
the conference at the White House
in Washington for the conservation
of the resources of the country.

SLIGHTLY Mixed.

learned the song in which is oft re-
peated the refrain: GLORY, glory. hal

been singing it with great enthusiasm

and after a brief period of cogitation
he said:
Mamma, what does 'hallelujah'
mean?"
AS simply as she could his mother
explained that it was religious ex-
clamation meaning praise the Lord
He seemed rather surprised at the
information, but his next question Of
fered ample explanation of why he
had thrown so much vigor into his
singing. IF that's what it means" he
said, why do they throw corn and

WILLIE WnITLA RETURNS
Ransom Of $4,000 Paid to kidnappers
and Child Comes Back Unframed
and in Good Health.

Cleveland. Willie Whtla, who has
caused the police of the entire coun-
try endless worry since he was Kid
mapped from school at Sharon last
Thursday, in accordance with the
agreement entered into between D.
p. Whitla and the agent for the Kid
napers, the missing lad walked INTO
the Hollenden hotel lobby unhurt
In compliance with the agreement en-
tered into the boy was placed on
street car in the outskirts of the city
and started on his way to the hotel
shortly after 8 O'Clock. After arriving
at the hotel he wandered about aim
Iessly for several minutes asking the
beIlboys where his father was.
The moment the anxious parent
heard that a strange boy was in the
hotel he rushed to the lobby, grasp
ed him in his arms and smothered
him with kisses.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore pair OF
smoked glasses and large tan cap,
which was pulled over his ears, and
his father said it would have been
difficult to have recognized the boy
in such a garb had he passed him on
the street.
Willie is in perfect health. He
says that he has been well treated
and ever since his capture has been
constantly indoors. He believes he
was taken from Sharon to Warren
and thence to New Castle, Pa. 1t is
his opinion, expressed in happy
schoolboy way, that he was in Ash
tabula on Saturday night at the time
his father was to leave his $4,000
in Flatiron park.
Whitla senior said he had received
a letter from the kidnapers at his
home in Sharon, saying that if he
called at a confectionery store in
the East End of Cleveland he would
be told how to secure his boy I'M
harmed and well fed Shortly af-
ter noon he left Sharon for Cleveland.
He was unaccompanied His imme-
date family and the private detec-
tives he apprised of the proposed Sc
CIcl HlCCtiHS out hC III
sisted that he make the trip alone.
Every one of them was warned that
he must be allowed to go unheeded
and no attempt at the capture of the
kidnappers be made. Whitla is GER
tain that if he had spoiled the plans
of his sons captors he would never
have seen the lad again. His expe-
rience at Ashtabula served as warn
ing. He met the agent of the kidnap-
ers and paid the ransom designated
(S10,000) and feels that this was the
only means by which he could have
recovered the child. Whiua refuses
to tell the police anything about his
arrangement for the return of the
boy except that he paid $4,000 TO
a woman representing the child steal
ers.

WANT NEW PARKS.
Several. Recreation Grounds Are Be-
ing Planned.

Fort Smith-Fort Smith is going to
have a number of new parks. Mem
bers of the board of public affairs,
together with the park commission,
will look at an S0-acre tract which
Harry E. Kelley will sell for $4,000,
he reserving the mineral rights and
an easement for natural gas pipe
line. There are several smaller tracts
offered to the city and they will be
inspected. Public sentiment is in IA
vor of parks, and it would not be at
all surprising if at the next meeting
of the council there is an appropria-
ton made of something like $4,000
with which to purchase park lands.
A few years ago Kelley offered to
sell what is now Electric Park to the
city for $500 The offer was turned
down and the property is now valued
at $4,000 and cannot be purchased
for that figure.
