Wide Contrast.

Messrs. Byron M Hopkins and Chas. M. Haft, two gentlemen from Chicago, who own the Woodlawn rice and stock ranch of l,280 acres a short distance south of Wheatley, spent the day in this city Monday. Mir. Hopkins said that he and MT. Haft had only ar rived a day or two ago from Illinois, and that they had never found condi- tions more favorable for preparing and seeding the rice lands. He also reported that something like 800 acres on the Woodlawn ranch had already been broken, and that he and his as- sociates had all arrangements com pleted to start a traction blow to work breaking land on the prairie. It is claimed for this traction blow that it will break up as much land in day as five or six of the ordinary riding blows, and, if a success, will almost reyolutionize the rice-growing indus try, which has tlouriShed with such remarkable and growing profit to the farmers throughout the western DOT tion of the county for the past five or six years There is wide contrast between the activities of the rice belt and the St. Francis valley section of this county. In the former the farm. CTS are working overtime to get their lands plowed and seeded, while in the latter they are fleeing for their lives before the flood and hurrying all their livestock and belongings to the high land on Crowley Ridge.

Fault of Advertisers.

Several items of interest have lately been unaVoidably left out of the paper by reason of extra large and late de- mands upon our space for advertising purposes. We hope our friends will not think that we have Intentionally sighted them, as we are always more than eager to get all the news and personal items that we can, and it is a pleasure to us to write any items aboutour friends which are of interest to them or their friends. Give US the news and we will print it if possible If our advertisers would, or could be made to understand that by getting their copy in this office not later than Thursday morning, we could give them better choice of space, better display, and better results in every way, they would appreciate the situation more fully and recognize the importance and the advantages of our suggestion. When all the copy comes in on Friday morning, we are compelled to rush it, and get it in type in the shortest pos si0le time in order to get the forms to press 10 catch the outgoing mails, which, 1T we miss, detracts from tie value of the advertising. We will at all times do the very best we can for our friends and patrons, and this no- tlce IS written more in their interest than otherwise.

The Monday Musicale, of which Miss Nich- olS Is a very active member, were the gnests of the occasion.

Brown Hinton.

Another wedding of unusual inter- est 10 citizens of Forrest City, who know ana esteem both the contracting parties, occurred on Monday, at the catholic Church in Memphis, where MT. William Brown, second son of Mir and Mrs. John NJ. Brown, of this city and Miss Bertha Hinton. eldest dauph- ter or Judge and Mrs. c. F. Hinton, ol "ynne, were joined in holy we'd lock- The happy couple returned to thelr friends and relatives here on Wednesday morning and left again last night for the brides home in Wynne. At both places MT. and Mrs. William Brown have been surfeited with con- gfatulations and good wishes.
 A pretty account of this wedding appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal of Tuesday morning. which The Times was especially desirous of reproducing, but it seems that the edition of that paper containing the a|Couiil uIu Hol come to Forrest City, and we were unable to obtain it in time for this issue of our paper.
 In joining hands, hearts and fortunes the two principals in this wedding sprung a surprise upon majority of their friends. No intimation was had here that these two young people had the slightest idea of entering Forrest C1ty's annual spring wedding carnival. The wise ones were caught mapping, and it will now be necessary to revise the official figures as to the number of nuptia! events scheduled for Forrest City this spring.
 The Times is informed that. after visiting several days with homefolks and friends in Forrest City and Wynne, MT. and Mrs. William Brown will return to Memphis, where they will make their future home. May prosperity and all the blessings of this life, both spiritual and temporal. at tend them in their new home, is the wish of The Times.

J. T. SANDERS.
Reaches High Ground.

Mr. J. T. Simmons, manager for MT. II. w. Robinson on his large Lake side plantation, reached high ground in the vicinity of Madison Tuesday with forty-two head of negroes and twenty-nine head of mules. The gen tleman informed a Times man that his employer still had about sixty five head of cattle in the bottoms which it would be necessary to bring out on a barge MT. Simmons said the bot tom people were completely demoral- ized. We were just getting every thing strengthened out and organized after the disastrous 1912 flood, when this present water comes sweeping down upon us, and we are again left in worse condition thanitiS possible to de- scribe" said MT. Simmons, and while we do not anticipate any difficulty in keeping our stock and negroes to- gether, there are many farmers who will not fare so well, and there will be many sad stories of misfortune and ruin to tell before it is all over" The Times has hope that this water will get of in time for these good people 10 get their crops planted, and that God will prosper them in their efforts.

BROTHERS UNITED
NEAR BEND WOODS

Bend, Or. Jan. 27.-That this world
is not as big as it sometimes seems
was shown by a remarkable incident
here few days ago, whereby broth
ers that had not seen or heard from
each other in years were reunited.
Eight years ago Steve Combs left
his home in Wilkesboro. n. c.. and
came west. He wandered about. fl
nally coming to Bend in November.
He left at home a younger brother
named Bryan, and so far as was
known to him Bryan was still in the
Tar Heel state. But the yonger man
also felt the call of the west ana set
out toward the setting sun. Sheve
was cutting cordwood near town and
near him a crew of men were log
ging. Steve casually stolled over to
the logging camp. There among the
men he found his brother Bryan.
whom he supposed to be some 1000
miles away. Recognition was instant
and the meeting a happy one.
In this connection there was an
other coincidence in that both of the
men were Influenced to come to Bend
by reading literature issued by one
OF the transcontinental railways.

one representative and more pay for
legislators are the principal features
of an amendment to the Oregon con-
stltutlon that the legislature will he
asked to put before the people.
Speaker c. N. Macarthur of the
present house is the author of the
proposed amendment. He will pre-
sent his plan to the legislature in a
JOINT resolution to be introduced in
the house.
Under McArthur's amendment. the
Legislature would meet every two
years, as now, 60 days instead of 40
days. The 6O-day session would not
be continuous, but would really con-
sist of two sessions of 80 DAYS each.

them. Even during the intermission.
however. there would be plenty of on
portunity for legislators to keep busy
at legislative matters in the way of
committee work on bills.
Would Increase Membership.
The membership of the house
would be increased from so to rs. At
present many counties of the state
have only joint representation with
other counties. Crook, Klamath and
Lake counties for instance, now have
one representative between them. The
same is true of Gillian, Sherman
and Wheeler counties, and of Grant
Harvey and Malheur counties. Nor
row, Umatilla and Union have a Joint
representative, but Umatilla is also
represented separately. Macarthur be-
leVes that each county should have
at least one representative, and that
is his purpose in proposing Is addi-
tional members.
The pay of legislators, now 81 a
day, under McArthur's amendment
would be made $5 a day for the 60
day session, with no pay during the
intermission.
L have reached the conclusion that
these changes in the Legislature would
greatly increase it's efficiency, after
very careful study said Speaker Nc
Arthur today.

EACH POOR FARM FOR
EXPERIMENT STATION

Salem, Or.-To turn the poor farm
of every county of the state into a
self-sustaining agricultural demon
stration station, where scientific
farming, crop rotation and accounting
may be carried out on a wide scale
under supervision of the Oregon ag-
ricultural college, is one purpose of
bill introduced in the house by
Representative Mitchell of Baker
county.
The Farmers union is behind the
proposed law. 1t would do away with

By its provisions it would be OPP

county to contract with the state,
through the Agricultural college, to

BOYS AND GIRLS
AID SOCIETY MAY
Be INVESTIGATED

Salem. Ore.-Behind a resolution
introduced in the house by Represen-
Jative l.. G Carpenter, calling for an
investigation by a joint house and
senate committee of the Boys and
Girls Aid society, of Portland, there
is the further intention of an in
9uiry into the official acts and con-
duct of w. T. Gardner superintend-
ent of the institution.
Though not a state institution, the
Boys and Girls Aid society has been
toward its support A similar appro-
priation is asked of the present leg
islature. This opens the way to a
legislative investigation if the resolu-
Cion calling for it should be approved
by both houses
From time to time allegations have
been made reflecting on the manage
ment of the Boys and Girls Aid So
Ciety. Among others, have been
charges of misconduct on the part of
the superintendent in his treatment
of children in the care of the So
Ciety.
1t has also been said that the su-
perintendent has padded statistics to
show that more children were cared
for by the society than was really the
case. Thus, it is said, if a child were
taken into a private family, but re-
turned to the home within a short
time, it would be enrolled as a new
case.
AS the appropriation from the state
and contributions from private sour
ces have been based on the number
of children represented to have been
cared for by the institution, the grav-
ity of this charge is apparent. If the
legislative committee is authorized
this is one of the things it will look
into.
The biennial report of the Boys and
Girls Aid society, addressed to the
present legislature, states that 945
children were cared for in 1911 and
1912. OF these 392 are set out as
new cases.
The total receipts of the society
from all sources, including the state
appropriation, are reported to have
totaled s2S.627.7O. OF this s3955 was
contributed by counties, and there
we're private contributions of S319S.75.

BALL TEAM TO PHOENIX.

Manager LOngOWsky and his crew of ball tossers will go to Phoenix today, and this afternoon will meet the PhOe- nix SolOns at the Grant street park in the second of the three game series recently arranged. Hatch will be on the mound for the Gems and it is ex- pected that Catcher Morris and Center Fielder POmerOy will return from their hunting trip in time to assume their respective positions on the team. The Gems lost the initial game of the ser ies last Sunday after ten innings of the best kind of baseball, and in view of the class of ball played at that time it is expected that a large crowd of Mesa fans will accompany the local team to the capital today and help them bring home the bacon" It was originally planned that the Gems should go to Phoenix yesterday and engage the SO- Ions in a two-g game contest, but owing to the inability of the members of the local team to secure release from their various places of employment, the Sat urday game was called off. The Gems have been practicing in preparation for tOday's game, and are confident that they will carry off the honors this afternoon.
