WANTED ONLY
 CONTINUED SUNSHINE

Little Rock, May 17-"All that we want on Crowley's Ridge now is continued sunshine declar- ed Mayor Tom Burress of Jones' boro, at the conference of Ar. kansas mayors called by the Governor and Little Rock Cham Der of Commerce to consider the the Eastern Arkansas flood situa. tion. With the aid that has been extended us by the general government already, we are able to take care of ourselves, and Northeast Arkansas would be better off if it never got another cent from the government.
 These who attended the con. ference from outside Little Rock were Mayor Toney of Lake Will lage, Mayor Scott of Forest City Mayor Hugh Martin of Helena, and Mayor Tom Burns, c. B. Greens. and A. E. Lochhart of Jonesboro.
 Mayor Martin of Helena re. ported that they do not Il 1ed any assistance outside of that furnish ed by the government for taking care of the flood refugees, and similar report was submitted by Mayor Scott of Forest City,
 The most distressing report was made by Mayor E. P. Toney of Lake Village, who rowed thir- teen miles from his back door, in a bateau to the nearest rail. road station at Montrose to reach Little Rock. The town has been under water since April 10, with back water from the Arkansas and the break in the Mississippi river levee at Panther Forest, ten miles above Lake Village. The break is now 220O feet wide, and getting wider all the time. It is the first crevass there in 22 years. The water is from one to five feet deep in the streets and business houses, and many of the residences of the city, and has fallon only II inch es from it's highest. The fall is only about one inch-in forty eight hours.
 Z There are about 4000 destitute persons at Lake Village, 99 per cent of whom are negroes, whom the government has been feeding since early in April, and must continue to feed for a month or six weeks longer. Sixty per cent of their stock was drowned. and 25 per cent of the remainder has since died from starvation and exposure. At least one-half of them will be unable to plant any crop this season, and the others must have seed and stock and implements. Lieut.. Hanna, U. s. A., in charge of the govern ment relief, has done and is do> ing much in giving aid. Fear had been expressed that this would be drawn, but a message from Congressman Jacoway was read to the effect that the aid would be continued as long as there is any necessity for it. Mayor Toney said that the negro labor must be kept there, and that as the water recedes, those who cannot make a crop will be put at work in the lumber mills.

What Is IappinsssY

Happiness Is the greatest paradox IN
nature. II can grow IN any soil. live
under any conditions. IL dehes envi-
lronment II comes from within. 1t IL
the revelation OF the depths Of the In
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happl
ness consists not Of having, but OF be
ing; not OF possessing, but OF enjoy
ing. II is the warm glow OF heart az
peace within itself. A martyr at the
stake may have happiness that king
on his throne might envy. Man is the
creator OF his own happiness. II is the
aroma of life lived In harmony with
high ideals For what a man has he
may be dependent on others; what he
is rests with him alone What he OBJ
tains In life is but acquisition; what he
attains is growth. Happiness is the
sours Joy In the possession OF the In

back on the ice TO attack the Span

There have been battles fought un-

Justice Gould yesterday sentenced
John Barton Miller, former secretary
treasurer of the defunct First Coop
erative Building Association Of George

twenty years in the penitentiary. The
defendant noted an appeal to the Court

charged that Miller appropriated the
proceeds of a loan transferred from the
Georgetown association to another

longing to Rev. Zed II. Copp. An ad-
ditional term of seven years was given
for an alleged similar conversion OF
funds from a loan on the property OF
Edgar c. Blackman. A third term OF
six years was added on the charge OF
destroying the records OF the associa-
ton. OF which Miller was also found
guilty by the jury.
