WILSON LAUDEDBY
 OURCONCRESSNAN
Nr. NingO Says He Is Greatest President Since the War - Has United Democratic Party
 Mexican Policy Will Succeed

Little Rock, Nov. l9 Special - Congressman Otis T. WingO of DeQueen, representing the Fourth district and candidate for reelection without opposition, is attending the Masonic Grand Lodge. MT. Wingo, who began his legislative career in the Arkansas Senate, is one of the new members who has made good" ill Washington.
 Mr. Wingo believes that Woodrow Wilson is the greatest president since the Civil war, and that he is winning in all his policies of con- structive legislation. MT. Wilson has the courage of Andrew Jackson, the Democracy of Jefferson and the culture of the Adamses. He has united the party as it has never been united before. The Republicans predicted that we would be split into factions in thirty days. but instead we have become the unassailable regulars, while the Republicans are the disorganized disgruntled mi litia. President Wilson works with a fixed purpose in view, and nothing sWerves him from this program. He, through the cooperation of Con- gress, has revised the tariff, and now the currency question is being threshed into shape. The bill can hardly be put through at the spe- cial session, but will pass, and it will more firmly establish the ad- ministration in the esteem of the people. Then will come the presi- dents proposed scheme of rural credits, then his antitrust legisla- tion. the latter modelled. perhaps, largely upon his Seven Sisters act of New Jersey.
 His policy toward Mexico will win out. He has compelled the re- spect of all the foreign powers. He is firm, yet not dictatoriaI, and he will bring about the elimination of Huerta without recourse to arms. Personally, am opposed to armed intervention. l would like to see the embargo lifted and let them fight it out among themselves. It is merely a fight as to the division of the spells. There is not enough patriotism in the City of Mexico. if it were woven into blanket, to keep a kitten warm in hot oven.'

1000 MILES RECORD
 FOR WIRELESS TALK

Berlin, Nov. 23.-The transmission nearly 1000 miles of a wireless tele- phonic communication from Neu- stadt-Am-Ruebenberg, Hanover, to New Jersey was accomplished on October 2 by a German wireless company according to report sub mitted by Admiral George August Ensmann to the German Shipbuild- ing Society
 The message was sent and re- ceived in the middle of the after noon, time considered unfavor- able for wireless communication. The two stations are over 800 feet high. Earlier attempts had proved that clearly emitted tones were audible and finally a spoken mes sage was transmitted and distinct ly received.
 Emperor William and Prince Hen ry of Prussia have taken a great personal interest in the experiments.

ASK LODGES TO AID
 ON NCH|LDREN'S
State Committee Hopes to Have De- cember 10 Generally Observed in ArkanSaS-Want Photographs
 of Merrymaking

Little Rock, Nov. l9 Special - The executive committee having tn charge the Children's Day program for December 10, has decided to ask every lodge in the state to give some sort of an entertainment for the children of members on that day. Ministers will be requested to preach Childrens Day sermons on the Sunday previous, and the press of the state will be appealed to to urge the owners of automobiles in every city and town to turn out and give the children a ride.
 Earl w. Hardin, the Fl. Smith at torney, who, as probation officer, started the movement. states that he expects to see the movement eX- tended to other states and after the citizens have been aroused tO the extent that they will devote as much time to the child problem as they do to increasing the breed of ani- mals, or species of corn and cotton. he expects to see farms established all over the state for the care and training of delinquent children.
 The committee expects to secure much publicity for Arkansas out of the Children's Day, and requests the people everywhere to take photo graphs of the merrymaking in be- half of the children, and send them in to George B. Cook, Little Rock chairman of the committee. These photographs will be used in the leading publications of the world to show what Arkansas is doing for it's children.

BOY SHOOTS ARM OFF.
BateSyille Youth Victim of Accident
 al Discharge of Gun.

Batesville Nov. 23.-Buck Wright, a boy of the Moorefleld neighbor- hood, shot his left arm off yesterday just below the elbow, the entire charge from a shotgun literally tearing the arm to pieces down to his hand. Dr. Lowrance was sum- moned and the arm was amputated. The young man is a son of Charles Wright.
 The boy was rabbit hunting with some companions. When attempt ing to climb a fence the barrel of the gun he was carrying under his arm caught on a rail and slipped. The young fellow was about three miles from a telephone, and but for the thoughtfulness of an old negro, who bound up the arm, he would have bled to death before the doctor could reach him.

IS MARS TRYING ID
 SIGNAL THE EARTH?
French Astronomers Are Skeptical, but Closely Watch investigations of Americans -IS There
 Vegetation on Mars?

Paris, Nov 2l-, SpeciaU. French astronomers are watching with a great deal of interest the prepara- tiOnS of American star-gaZers to try to find out in January if Mars is in- habited and is trying to signal the earth.
 We shall have to content our selves with seeing what we can from France" declared NJ. Bigour- dan, of the Paris observatory, be cause We lack the money to trans port ourselves to the Equator. as American observers will do. How ever. we shall await with consider able eagerness to hear the result of the trip, for Mars will be very close to the earth in January, and perhaps many of the problems now yexing Us about Mars may be solved"
 FritjOf L. Coultre. of the Geneva observatory, recently reported sud- den flashes on Mars, which appear as if the Martians were trying to signal the earth. On the same date observers at Flagstaff, Arizona. saw the same phenomenon. But NJ. Bigourdan, though not disputing the theory, inclines towards the possi- bility of auto-suggestiOn in much that concerns Mars, it's canals, bod ies of water, vegetation, etc.
 We must wait until telescopes are nearer perfect than they are now" he said, lin order to find out what is going on on Mars. Some say there are canals, etc. Others equally learned, say they cannot see them Those who do see them, ad- init that there must be a certain amount of training undergone be- fore they can be seen; from that point to autO-suggestion isn't a very far cry.
 The first thing the American ob- servers will try to find out next January is whether there is vegeta- ton on Mars. If there is no vegeta- ton there is no water on the sur face of the planet and without water there can be no life, and the Martians will prove to be an imagi- nary people. Nothing can be seen from Paris in January. What we would like to do is to go to Africa. Unfortunately, however, we can't. We lack the sinews of war"

TREATY AGREEMENTS
 BEING CONSIDERED
State Department Commences Work Under New Tariii Act and NegOti-
 ates With Other Nations.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The State Department has begun the considera- tion of the reciprocity agreement with other nations under the new tariff act, which gives to the chief eXecu= tive the power to negotiate such trca- ties.
 Secretary Bryan admitted this aft. ernoon that the general subject has been taken up at the Department, but that no definite announcement could be made yet. Other officials say that while the matter is under way the State Department must first ascertain what will be the approximate amount of revenue under the tariff act.
 It was pointed out by an official to- day that the arrangement of new com mercial treaties carrying reciprocity was under the tariff act largely one for the President himself. but the question, of course, will be broached to foreign countries by the State De- partment.

POINT THAT ATTRACTED HIM
Vegetarian Dinners Had at Least Chs Good Idea That He Could
 Appreciate.

After steadfastly declining many Invitations to public dinners a man astonished his friends by attending three vegetarian dinners.
 Are you a coD7ert?" they asked.
 T am not" said the man. ''I go be cause the vegetarians have one cuS tom that deserves to be encouraged Their speechmaking precedes the din ner. Anyhow, it did at the three din ners I attended. That is a most com. mendable custom. It ought to ba adopted at all dinners. Everybody is In a hurry to begin eating. and they don't take time to meandeE through . tot of dull speeches.
 q don't know why the vegetarians reversed tho usual order. None oi them that I asked could tell.
