RISON ARGANIZES
 "BUY-A-BALE" CLUB
Sixty Bales Sold at Meeting-farmers Will Gut AcrCage-MOyement
 Only in Infancy.

Rison, Sept 19.-The buy bale' movement was started here last night Ut an enthusiastic meeins of the Chamber of Comm Members of the chamber pledged themselves to buy and hold sixty bales at 10-cents pound. X committee of three, J. E. Moore, x. A. Mckinney and J. M. McMurtrey, was appointed to inauger- ate movement for mass meeting of all farmers in this territory to secure further pledges to buy surplus cotton and to reduce the cotton acre. age for 1915.
 l. E. Moore will represent this chamber at the cotton meeting in Lit tie Rock next week.
 This is only beginning of the movement here, and Rison expects to make more creditable showing ill regard ot the relief of distress cot ton.

TINE BLUFF RoaREss
 ROSPERITY
FOR COTTON MILL.

The plan of J. c. Chestnut to nave some purchasers of distress cotton contribute the bale toward a supply to be offered as bonus for the establishment in Pine Bluff of a cot ton mill is an excellent one, and IS receiving liberal support.
 Working unassisted, and in spare moments during three days. MT. Chestnut has already secured from retailers, farmers and plain citizens the promises of twenty-three bales, while one farmer who does not grow cotton has promised $25 to the fund.
 The present situation emphasizes the need for cotton mill here, as The Graphic has frequently pointed out.
 While mill could not consume all the cotton produced in the Pine Bluff territory, the revenue from the quan- tity it would utilize would be about cent pound more than can be paid for cotton that must be shipped to other points for manufacture. That it would help cotton prices here is certain.
 It is to the direct interest of the cotton growers then that mill be established here. It is plain that the big growers of cotton can afford to contribute literally to the cotton bonus because the price they would obtain for cotton afterward would more than compensate for the con- tribution. And, as extensive growers of cotton arc not being asked to help retire distress cotton, although they will benefit directly, there is more reason to expect they will generously support the cotton bonus fund.
 Pine Bluff and this territory great. ly needs cotton mill. Now is a gooG time to get one. The Chamber oi Commerce is negotiating with cottor manufacturers for the establishment of a mill here. Support of the Chest mutt plan almost insures success.

SPECIAL DAYS AT
 fRI-STATE FAIR
People Attending Memphis Exhibition Will Find Plenty Folk From
 Home.

Most every day our people go to the find plenty of folks from home.
 While the management of the Fri State Fair at Memphis, September 26 to october 3, has made no effort to have homecoming celebration, they have arranged for number of special days in order that out-of-town visitors may expect to meet friends and relatives from other cities and from other counties.
 Beginning Tuesday of the Fair, special efforts will be made to take care of these from Humboldt, and if reports bear fruit, Humboldt is going special train. Wednesday will be Arkansas Day, and towns have prom ised to send big crowds. Dyersburg Day will also be Wednesday. Other days will be devoted to towns in Memphis territory. After years of neglected opportunity, the South is turning her attention more and more to tine live stock industry and within few years it's destined to become the cattle producing section of America. Realizing that short winters in the South afford opportunity to produce and fatten cattle cheaply, southern farmers have bought hundreds of pure bred cattle during the last few years.
 Recognizing the growing import ance of the cattle industry in the South, the Tri-State Fair has pre- pared to feature it's live stock show this year. To that end the premium list has been increased by many hundreds of dollars and early indlca- tions are that choice herds of cattle from the North, South, East and West will meet in Memphis from Sep tember 26th to October 3rd to com pete for prizes.
 As the Tri-State Fair primarily is a Southern exposition, special prem iums have been been reserved e for southern bread and southern-owne | cattle. The special premiums apply
 alike to beef and dairy cattle, Snort
 horns, Herefords, Aberden Angus
 Polled Durhams, Rcd Polls, Jerseys HOlsteins, and Guernseys.

NO FINANCIAL RISK.

Those who are contemplating the purchase of bale of cotton for the purpose of helping to finance the farmers of Arkansas will invest not for the purpose of making a good speculation, but to promote the gen eral welfare. At the same time, purchasers of cotton at 10 cents a pound will not be sorry to know that senator Ransdell of Louisiana regards the purchase of cotton under the terms of the "buy-a bale" movement as a safe investment.

The Gospel According to
 ST. LUKE.

CHAPTER IS.
 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always u pray, and not to faint;
 2. Saying, There was in a city judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
 $. And there was widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary
 4. And he would not for while: but afterward he said within himself, Though 1 fear not God, nor regard man;
 ,. Yet because this widow troubleth me, l will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
 z. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
 8. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
 
 certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
 10. Two men went up into the tenn pie to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other publican.
 Il. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, thank thee, that 1 am not as other men are, eX- tortioners, unjust, adulterers, or ever as this publican. 2 l2. l fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
 13. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God De merci- full to me a sinner.
 IA. 1 tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
 15. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them; but when his disciples saw it they rebuked them
 10. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
 IT, Verify l say unto you, Whoso- ever shall not receive the kingdom of God as little child shall in no wise enter therein.
 IS. And certain ruler asked him saying, Good Master, what shall I dc to inherit eternal life?
 l9. And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, that is, God.
 20. Thou knoWest the command ments, Do not commit adultery, Dc not steal, Do not bear false witness Honour thy father and thy mother.

PRAYER FOR PEACE.

Even the man who looks at life with an Interrogation point may we'll attend church on October 4, the day that President Wilson has set apart for prayer for peace. There are more things i'll heaven and earth than are dreamt of in the philosophy of some of us.
 The nationalist finds the older con captions of prayer difficult to harm onize. Yet any thoughtful study of the literature of the subject will re- veal host of striking and well at- tested occurrences, indicating the ef- ficiency of influence not accounted for on any material basis.
 If the nations of Europe could but look at their quarrels, either from the Christian, or the business point of view, they would settle them and call of their armed men in day Seen either in the light of the teach ings of Jesus, or from the most sor. bid money aspect, the war is botf wrong and senseless.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in
 THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

21. And he said, All these have kept from my youth up.
 22. Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heavan: and come, follow me.
 23. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful for he was very rich.
 "A. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrOwful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches en- ter into the kingdom of God! %. For it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 26. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? 27. And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
 2S. Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
 29. And he said unto them, Verlly , ooy uIAlO SOu, IiCl V 10 HO Iletl thdl has lett house, Or parents, or brethern or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Gods sake,
 30. Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come live everlasting.
 31. And he took unto him the ! twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets con- cerning the Son of man shall be ac compliShed.
 32. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated and spitted or: : 33. And they shall scourge him, 1 and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid , from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 50. And it came to pass, that as he was come night unto Jerico, .cer- tain blind man sat by the way side begging:
 36. And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
 3l. And they told him, that Jesus of ----azareth passeth by

 Al. Sayin, What wilt thou that shall do unto thee? And he said Lord, that I may receive my sight

USING COTTON.

The ladies of Pine Bluff who launched the wear-only-cottong goods club have started a movement of greater possibilities than it's origina- tors conceived, probably, If followed faithfully, the consumption of cotton will be increased greatly, and that means more money for the South and its people. Also adherence to the principles of the club will materially reduce the high cost of living, or dressing.
 Silk gowns, silk lingerie and other expensive stuff constitutes the great est expense of the family with several girls. The tendency to lavishness and extravaganza in dress has been re. sponsible for many of the woes of the present generation. The desire to appear in as fine feathers as Mrs. Richards led to the downfall of hundreds of memebers of the Poor family. The American habit of seek ing to appear as well off as any is one of our worst.
 If recognized leaders in society wear less expensive clothes their ex- ample will be followed by those who should wear inexpensive clothing.
 It is to be hoped that the movement started in Pine Bluff will be followed by good women everywhere.

| "And cotton at 10 cents pound ls
 good investment said senator
 Ransdell in an interview the other day. "The product itself will not deteriorate with time It will, if kept dry, be just as good next year as thls' or ten years from now, for that mat ter. If is a matter of fact that a
 bale of cotton fifty-two years old was
 Cpened in South Carolina the other
 day and was ound to be in perfect
 condition It sold as good midling,
 which is exactly the grades placed
 upon it at the time it was baled. There is no risk involved therefore, i'll
 buying cotton now at 10 cents. It will bring this or more at any time the holder may desire to sell it.'
 Farmers who can possibly hold cotton should do so for their own benefit as well as that of their less fortunate fellows. In the first place, cotton will increase in value, and in the second the "Buy-a-Bale" club cannot take up all the cotton of this territory, and doesn't propose to try. The intention is to aid those who must have cash right now. Farmers who are in position to bear their own burden are not expected to attempt to ship it to others. This is made clear because there have been attempts to have tine "Buy-a-Bale" club members carry cotton, the owners of which are probably in better circumstances than some of the patriotic people who arc buying distress cotton.
