Gently been agitated by the railroads,

organizations:
Arkansas and Louisiana are fast
taking prominent places as homeseek-
er territory, largely through the aCtly-
tiles of the land congresses organized
in those two states. These organiza-
lions have taken it upon themselves
to keep their commonwealths in the
minds of the people of every other
state of the Union and they are doing
their work well.
The lead in this work was taken
by Arkansas, which held an important
land congress session at Little Rock
late in March. A complete organiza
ton was formed and it was decided
to gather in a large sum of money
with which to advertise the states re
sources. Plans are now practically
completed for carrying on a $4,000
display advertising campaign this fall.
The money is being secured by volun-
tary subscription and is being reported
rapidly, and the promoters have no
fear regarding the final result"

its old convict contract lease, the
state of Arkansas practically owes the

ing to an opinion rendered by Chan

therefore the brick company will not
be able to secure the payment of its

the Dickinson contract, in which the
state, through the penitentiary board,
agreed to furnish the brick company
the labor of 300 conyicts for 10 years
When the contract expired in 1909 the
penitentary board claimed that the
brick company was indebted to the
state for convict labor in the sum
OF S12,S96 previous to December 81,
1908, and S4,S27 from January ! to
January IA, 1909, making a total of

It was worn also as a protection in

In the middle ages and in Crusaders
days the cross was the distinctive
symbol of the Christian in contradis.
tinction to the Crescent of the Mo
hammedan.
The custom Of marking ones sig.
nature by a cross was first adopted
by Christians in the year 10 to dis
tinguish them from the pagans. and it
stood for a silent oath.
The early Christians Immediately
used this sign, which was connected
with their religion, as a secret mes.
sage to one another in their first days
of persecution. NIingling with the
prosecutors of their faith. they could
thus make themselves known to each
other without calling the attention OF
those around them. In visiting the
catacombs in Rome, where they hid
from fear Of their prosecutors, it is in
tensely interesting to notice that the
sign so sacred to them is carved and
engraven all around the walls of their
prison cells and above the tombs of
their brethren.
