WITH THE HOBOES.

Dr. John Archer Gray spoke at the
High School Monday morning after
speaking twice at the Congregational
and Methodist Churches on Sunday.
DR.. Gray is happiest evidently when he
has an audience to listen to him and he
has the faculty of keeping his audience
in the same frame of mind. This, at
least was the verdict Of those who at
tended his lecture at Turner Hall
Saturday evening. At that time the
Reverend gentlemen kept his hearers in
state Of expectant attention for an
hour and a half of rapid fire anecdote
and description of conditions among
the down and out of New York City,.
DR.. Gray was pastor of large church
in New York City during the hard times
of 1897 and he found that there were
thousands upon thousands of idle men
in the city, sleeping on park benches,
eating, when they ate at all, in the Hash
houses" where the bill of fare is made
up from the scrapings of the plates of
the better favored in the higher priced
restaurants on the other side of the line
which divides the slums from the wealth
of New York City, standing in the bread
line when they hadn't the penny or two
necessary to provide them with the hash
and make believe coffee that the cheap
restaurants daily serve to the men who
have managed to find job for a few
days. When he heard of these thous-
ands of idle men he decided that he would
find out by actual experience whether
it was necessary for them to be unem-
ployed. He secured a three months
leave of absence from his pulpit, donned
a suit of clothing bought at a second hand
store and left his home for the slums
where he lived and suffered with the men,
going hungry, cold and weary, for the
purpose of learning why it is necessary
for men to be crowded down from his
natural high estate.
After he went back to his fashion,
able pulpit he gave much of his time to
the telling of his experiences among the
Bowery people and to working to allie
viate conditions. He suggested that
the government should furnish large
tract of land where these men could be
set to work and encouraged to lift them
selves up out of the mire of self-degreda-
ton by becoming self supporting. He
believed in keeping them there until
they proved their fitness to make honest
livelihoods for themselves and their
families and those who had committed
crimes against the social state were to
be detained in this farm colony until
they should see the error of their ways.
In short, he advocates policy of re-
form in place of punishment and if the
Doctor is satisfied with allevating the
symptoms of the social ills his plan is
one of the best. While at least part
of his audience did not agree that he
had reached the ultimate solution of
the problem of the unemployed, they adj
mitted that as successful number on
the Lyceum Course he has not been ex-
celled.

FEDERAL BUREAU SAYS CORN CROP IS APPROXIMATELY
 61,4oo,ooo BUSHELS.
RICE CROP SHOWS BIG GAIN
Deciares Dewitt and Other Towns in the Rice Belt Have the Largest Crops Ever known-Estimate
 Made Was 42o5,ooo.
Little Rock.

Based on conditions on October l, the federal bureau of crop estimates puts Arkansas 1915 corn crop at 6I,- 400,00 bushels, or 20,000,000 bushels more than the total crop of 1914 which was 42,000,000 bushels. The es- timate shows an increase over the es- timate made September l, when the bureau set 57,7S1 000 bushels as the probable crop. The report just out was made by the bureau and trans mitted through the weather bureau.
 Arkansas rice crop also shows big gain, the crop this year being es- timated at 4,340,G0G bushels, against 3,685,000 bushels produceu last year. The rice crop now is being harvested, and the fields around Stuttgart, De Witt and other towns in the rice belt have the largest crops ever known. The estimate made on the rice crop September 1 was 4,205,000 bushels.
 The fair weather of the last three weeks has greatly aided the maturing crop and rice crops, and has made har- vesting conditions ideal.
 An increase of 1,000,000 bushels is predicted in the potato crop, but the apple crop was short. The expected total yield in apples for the State is fixed at 1,160,000 bushels, against l. 667,000 bushels last year The po.a- to crop, though, is predicted to reach 1,510,000 bushels, while the total pota- to crop last year was 1,500,000 bushels
 The oat estimate, too, shows an in- crease over the estimate made Sep tember l, when the crop was estimat- ed at S,320,00O bushels.

FILE SUIT AGAINST ANGLO-FRENCH LOAN
PARTICIPATION IS OPPOSED BY HOLDER OF AN INSURANCE
 POLICY.
DISRUPTION THREATENED
Bill Asks That Company Officers Be Restrained From Investing It's Trust Funds For Purpose of Aiding and
 Manufacturing Munitions.

Chicago. that the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York contemplates investing $10,000,0OO of it's trust funds in the AngloFrench loan of g500,O00,000, Olga H. S. Walsh, Chicago, holder of a $2,0O0 insurance policy in the Mutual, filed suit for in- Juncuon in the federal court here.
 The insurance company, Charles Peabody, president; the directors, members of the Anglo-French loan commission, J. P Morgan individually and J. P. Morgan & Co. were named as defendants.
 Frank s. Monett former attorney general of Ohio, who prosecuted the antitrust suit in that state against the Standard Oil Company, acted as attorney for the plaintiff.
 The complaint to the court sets forth that among the thousands of policy holders in the Mutual L,fe Insurance Company are many persons of various nationalities, and that the investment of the trust fund of these policyholders in the Anglo-French loan would tend to produce antagonism among the policy holders which might lead to dis, rupting the company and thereby de. preciate the value of her interest in the company.
 In the language of the bill the court is informed that the solvency of the company and the conservation of the reserve fund depend on the good will of the policy holders, and no part of the assets of the company should be loaned or invested in the securities of any of the warning nations or is sued for the purpose of abetting ex- isl.ng wars"
 The bill asks that the company off cers be restrained from investing its trust funds in the loan or suffering any of it's assets to be used for the purpose of aiding the manufacture of munitions of war, aeroplanes, subma- rines, any,s naval outfit or appliances tH be us2 F by the English or Fr42 42-sIl l.tl nations for belligerent purposes 1t further asks that J. P Morgan and J. P. Morgan & Co. be restrained from soliciting or conniving with the off cers and directors of the Mutual Life Insurance Company for the purpose of procuring any of it's funds directly or indirectly to be invested in the $500,- 100000 Anglo-French loan.

Nearest Fixed Star.

Alpha Centauri is the sun nearest to the earth of all the fixed stars. One of the most magnificent of the first magnitude stars even to the naked eye, the telescope reveals it all suddenly as two great masses of solar fire, the flames, red, yellow and blue, blown upward and outward to the right by the winds of the universe. The great pair of rainbow flames ap- pear to stand out like tangible ob- jects in the depths of infinitely re- mote space many times larger than the naked eye stars. One of the two revolves about the other in a period of 80 years. It is one of the most stupendous and awful visions and the most absolutely beautiful that eyes have ever seen.

HAD REAL IDEA OF ECONOMY
Jap Explains How Family Was En- abled to Use One Fan Two or
 Three Generations.

Among the Japanese economy is held to be high virtue. Two old mi sers of Tokyo were one day discussing ways and means of saving.
 T manage to make fan last about twenty years," said one, "and this is my system: 1 don't wastefully open the whole fan and wave it carelessly. I open only one section at time. That is good for about a year. Then I open the next, and so on until the fan is eventually used up."
 Twenty years for a good fam" ex- claimed the other. What sinful ex- travagance! In my family we use a fan for two or three generations, and this is how we do it: We open the whole fan, but we don't wear it out by waving it. Oh, no! We hold it still, like this, under our nose, and wave our face!"-Everybodys.

Strike Proper Balance.

Sex, religion and insanity are near. ly associated. There is nothing thai should be so we'll balanced as the re. ligious belief of everyone. Sometimes experiences in religion are nothing but the most rampant of neurasthenie Authorizations. The religious zealot is almost always a neurasthenic, and it only takes time to prove it. There are two kinds of inconsistencies, those who have lost religion and, of course. happiness, and those who have re- ligious fanaticism. Strike the hal. ance and you have health.-Kansas City Star.
