The Midland Ny. Changes

During the past 6 or 8 months there has been delegations of business men from Clarendon. Holly Grove, Marvell and other points along the Midland Ry... seeking chances of schedule of the Arkansas Midland Ky. times. by order of the Arkansas Rail- road Commission. Every town along the Midland with the ex- ception of dear old Brinkley' has asked for changes in schedule. The last is that from Clarendon. A large delegation from that point were before the Commission this week asking for g change that will be more favor- able to Clarelro,n..
 Now since they are all going to glamour for a change why not have word from Brinkley. Our city has the biggest and best kick of all of the bunch. For years Brinkley was the terminal for the Brinkley Branch and the train crews ran out of here and made this their headquarters and home. The present schedule doesn't permit of this and it would be a pretty good move y our people would get in the push and ask the Railroad Commiss- l ion to re-establish the same old schedule and arrangements.
 There was no kicking then.

Dull Days With Brfnkley Express Offices

Since the saloons have gone out in Brinkley the express office are having 8 dull time of 1t. First came the parcel post and stabbed the express companies nearly to death. The liquor business gave the local affairs . big lot of business. and when this played out the express com panies are enjoying" a sort ot ''closed up" vacation.
 The express companies have just published a reduction m their rates. The parcel post has compelled this reduction, which had to be made in order to meet compe tition, and it will be the saving of millions of dollars to our people. The great express organizations may not be able to successfully compete with the postal system of the United States. but our people will save many a dollar 90 long as the con- test goes merrily on.

THE BRINKLEY CENSUS
There Are 4o6 Homes in Drinkley. How Many
 People

Colporter Hall, the special representative of the American Bible society who is making Brinkley his headquarters just now. has just finished a canvass of the city and has found that there are just 496 homes in the city. In many instances two families were occupying the same home. Mir. Halls duties require him to make perfect canvass of the city to visit and keep accurate account of every home, and to place a bible in every home in the city where there is none.
 He found only 34 homes in Brinkley where there was no bible and says that out of the 34 not half of them were negroes. MT. Hall is a faithful and tire less worker and has been in the bible business for the past 20 years. He doesn't t receive a cent salary and doing his word purely as a mission of love. The Brink ley people and churches should contribute most liberally to his work for the American Bible Society is without a doubt. the greatest organization of the kind in America.
 They give free of charge thro' Mir. Hall or any other of their countless missionaries, bibles any where if persons are unable to purchase.

A Condition Never Known
 In Ft. Smith Before

The newspapers of Ft. Smith have been commenting on a strange and heretofore unknown condition that has occurred in Ft. Smith since the saloons were closed.
 The marvel or miracle If it may be spoken of in that way, is the fact that the Ft. Smith jail has actually been entirely empty and free from prisioners on several days since the dry spell set in.
 The Ft. Smith daily says:
 The doors of the jail were then thrown open to allow the cells and rooms to get good airing.
 The saloons closed their doors on Wednesday night at 12 o'clock. On Friday night following there was not an arrest made until 2 Sunday morning. These results ast0nished the most optimistic. Either men have quit drinking and therefore are able to be law abiding. or else the criminal element have migrated to other cities. 5"

FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

An official of the Department of La
Dor in a recent report recommends
that there be labor bureaus establish
ed at postoffices in all large cities for
the mutual benefit of employers and
the unemployed.
Cooperation with labor unions to
prevent working men from being di-
rected to cities where there is no work
for them also was part in the recon-
mendation.
This plan if worked out intensively
may succeed in time in eliminating the
Coxey's Armies and other such Organi-
cations of the unemployed by giving
every man a chance to get work OF
some sort.
