Probably the biggest trunks ever built are four
which were made to order about year ago by
New York manufacturer and which were de-
signed to carry aeroplanes.
There were two of these flying machines, both
monoplanes. and to carry them there we're built
four giant trunks; a trunk for each flying ma

"a fourth trunk in which were slowed four pro-
pellers.
Each OF the body trunks Is SO feet long by about
45 inches square. The trunk for the wings Is rs
feet long and IL feet broad at end and 9 feet
broad at the other, while the trunk for the pro
pellers is feet long.
These tremendous trunks finished outside
in the usual fashion, covered with metallic
trimmings. They are so strengthened and trussed
as to enable them to stand the strains to which
they are likely to be sub jected in OF course
no baggageman that ever lived could sling those
trunks around. and in fact the body trunks can't
be got into an ordinary side door car and have TO
be transported In end door freight ears. The
trunks have been at least to the Pacific

1t cannot be due to the lack Of SALT,

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-National pol ltics continues to attract more local attention as the time for the national conventions approaches. Wilson still leads as the favorite for the Demo cratic nomination, although Champ Clark stock is advancing, and club for the promotion of the Missourian's interest is being projected locally. The showing of popular strength among the Republicans for Roosevelt over Taft has encouraged some of the friends of the strenuous one to call a meeting for the organization of Roosevelt club Thursday night at the Hotel Marion. This may be said to put the Roosevelt boom on it's feet in the state.

Rogers, Feb. Following a week of balmy weather this section of the country was yesterday visited by a severe sleet and snow storm. The weather experienced here was record breaking. All day bowling wind carried with it binding snow storm, accompanied by flashes of lightning This was combination rarely exper- fenced in weather conditions in this country. So furious was the snow storm that all outdoor traffic was practically abandoned and business was brought to standstill.

In northwest Arkansas the snow ranged from eight to eleven in ches in depth and business was sus- pended during the storm. In south ern Arkansas and northern Louisiana the storm was characterized by tor nadoes which caused eight deaths at Shreveport and at least one in Arkan- sas.
