A few days ago, while standing
on a street corner in one of our best
Arkansas towns, | saw farmer car
ry out of a nearby store an armful
of paper sacks. asked the mer-
chant what they contained. Bread
and meat; those things which ne
could have raised at home" | re-
marked that it was shame that
some of our farmers would not
raise a living at home. The mer-
chant answered me by saying: Yes,
it is. That fellow is carrying those
provisions home in paper sacks, but
it will take a wagon to bring it back
in the fall"
His statement is only too true.
We know it to be true and yet we
continue to buy our supplies on
credit when we could raise practi-
cally everything we consume on the
farm.
This statement is frequently
heard among salaried men in the
city; II want to 90 to the farm
where | can have plenty in order
that | may be able to quit living
out of a sack" A farmer can have
plenty of everything at little or nc
cost, while the very best salaries
or the very highest prices for mon
ey crops will not provide such q
sumptuous living as the living ol
the man who lives at home.
The man who had lived out of 6
sack for years in the city at last
tried farming. He says: The high
cost of living does not worry me
With vegetables in the cellar, with
meat in the smokehouse and plenty
Of corn in the crib am indepen
dent of the trusts and tariff. Besl
Of all, | no longer live out ola sack.
The merchants with whom have
talked are heartily in favor of the
farmer raising his living at home
The bankers are for 1t, because they
know 1t will result In keeping mon
ey In Arkansas that Is now sen,
away for bread and meat" Then
under all these circumstances don
you think II Is time to call a hal
and begin raising a living at home
In my judgment more bread ant
meat" Is the salvation Of the Ar
kansas farmer.

ARABS ROUTED BY ITALIANS.
Forced to Abandon Oasis and victori.
Gus Army Extends Its Front.

Tripoli, Nov. %. An important
movement is now in progress with the
object of driving the Arabs out of
the oasis and extending the Italian
front. 1t began at daybreak. The &C.
ton opened with an attack on Fort
Mesri by the Sixth brigade from
Boumeliana on the west front.
After several hours fighting. the
Italians succeeded in dislodging the
Arabs. and General Frugones, CON-
mander of the Italian forces. ordered
the third division on the east front to
advance toward Hcni. Part of the
Sixth brigade joined the men of the
Third. taking mp . position so as to
protect the division from-n attack
from the direction of Ainzara and
prevent a junction of the Arabs and
Turks. AT the time of filing this mes
sage, the Italian extreme right was
holly engaged against the Turkish
regulars.
The new front, if the movement is
successful will extend from Mesri to
Henni. AS soon as the Italians are
established, reinforcementS will he

NINETEENTH is AN UNKNOWN
semi-ot6ciaI Announcement That It
Will be Manager FeIippo Giustini
Pope Plus Shows Loss
Of Strength.

Rome, Nov. 2S.-Obedient 70 a sum.
mons from Pope Plus X, the cardinals
IN Rome assembled in a secret consis-
tory and confirmed the papal nomina-
ton of nineteen new members in the
college OF cardinals, the supreme gov
ernlng body of the Roman Catholic
church. OF those thus honored three
are citizens of the United States
Monsigneur John NJ. Farley, archbishop
of New York; Monsigneur William
OConnell, archbishop of Boston, and
Monsigneur Diomede Falconio, apos
tolic delegate at Washington.
The nineteenth cardinal was created
secretly at the private con5istory and
his name was not disclosed. Although
officially the intimation is given that
the new cardinal is Mgr. Felippo
Glustini, secretary of the congregation
OF sacraments, nevertheless there is a
general rumOr that Archbishop Ireland
has been chosen. However, an official
denial of this or that any other Amer
ican prelate would be elevated was
issued.
Thus with Cardinal Gibbons, Amer
lea will have for the first time a rep
r%esentation of four in the cardinalate
which, probably. much as now consti-
tuted, will elect a successor to the
reigning pontiff. That this duty could
not be delayed many years was an un.
welcome thought that came on the
present occasion to those who had
participated III the last previous con-
sistory four years ago..
The public consistory will be held
on Thursday in the Hall Of Beatifca-
ton instead OF in the Sala Regia, as
at first planned. The former hall is
much the larger and was decided upon
today because of the great number OF
for admittance.

Accident.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 28.-With
eight jurors sworn and the jury-get.
ting process somewhat simplified, in.
quiry as to what will be heard when
evidence is introduced in the McNa-
mara case, brought forth from District
Attorney John D. Fredericks an out
line of how the state will present it's
side of the controversy over the de-
struction of the Los Angeles Times
building in October, 1910.
After the opening statement by the
district attorney, maps and diagrams
will be shown. Eye witnesses will be
summoned to describe what they saw.
Then will come, according to the dis
trict attorney, proof of the death Of
Charles j. Haggerty, a machinist, for
whose murder James B. McNarama is
now on trial. Haggerty's body was
found in the basement near a place in
Ink alley. Testimony to show that
Haggerty was killed instantly by the
force of the explosion and not by fire
then will be brought forth, as it was
Haggerty's proximity to the alleged
origin of the explosion that induced
the state to choose for trial from 10
indictments the one for the murder of
Haggerty.
The testimony of experts on explos-
ives will be produced thereupon to in.
dictate that dynamite wrecked the
building. Though the state has Sc
cured several hundred witnesses,
many Of them will be disposed Of in
a few minutes:
Combating of the dynamiting theory
by expert testimony. as well as by
witnesses who will allege that they
smelled gas in the vicinity of the
building already has been admitted by
the defense as a central feature in it's
argument. Examination of talesmen
thus far has revealed that the defense
will insist on the theory that the
Times was destroyed by accident and
that no felony therefore was commit
ted.
Calculations from the present prog
ress of the trial place the time for the
taking of evidence at the middle of
December.
