has succeeded in drawing his army out of
the German sack, leaving, however as
prizes in German hands prisoners, mu-

lives.
"The biggest loss to the Russians is
not territory alone, but the important
network of railroads in west Russia
commanding the approaches to Petro-

possession OF the Germans, together with
other railroads which were destroyed by
the Russians and will have to be rebuilt.

JOE O'ROURKE HAPPY FAN
"Discoverer" of Alexander Sees His
Protege Triumph Over the
Boston Red Sox

There may have been happier fans than
Joe O'Rourke after Alexander beat the
Red Sox today. but they were hard to
find. For Joe. who tipped Aleck off to
the Phillies, thought he was going to do
without seeing his protege twirl the Phil
lies to victory, inasmuch as he, like 4O,-
him admission.
But Stanley V. Mastbaum, moving-p pic
ture magnate, heard of Joes plight, and
he saw to it that Joe got a box seat. So
Joe and Mr.. Mastbaum sat in Box 49, on
the left this afternoon and saw their
baseball idol wipe the Sox in the dust.
"Superstitious? Not a bit of it," said
Joe. Numbers don't mean anything
when Aleck is putting the ball over the
pam"

ACRE IDLE BETTER
THAN 2 IN COTTON
Bradford Knapp Speaks Against
Full Crop Before Farm
Agents.

Little Rock, Feb. 1S.-"If planters
of the south raise full crop of cot
ton this year, as many are said to
be preparing to do, cotton next fall
will be selling for A cents.
Recent advances in the cotton
market have resulted from indica-
tions of reduced acreage this year
and farmers who plant full crop
are inviting lower prices and greater
disasters than those of the past"
These were statements of Bradford
Knapp, special agent in charge of
farmers cooperative demonstration
work in the southern states, before
agricultural agents and specialists at
the chamber of commerce Tuesday.
Better one acre in cotton and the
other in forage crops than both in
cotton" said Mr.. Knapp. Better
one acre in cotton and the other un-
cultivated than the other in cotton.

]. 7. ACEE RESIGNS AS
MEMBER'C|TY COUNCIL
On Account of Press of Individual
Business Alderman from First
Ward viii Quit.

Alderman j. T. Agee, member of
the city council from the first ward
this morning filed with Mayor Jack
son his resignation as a member of
the council effective upon the cleo
tion and qualification of his success
sor. Mr.. Agee said his personal bust
ness affairs were claiming so much
of his time that he was not in posi-
tion to devote the amount of atten-
an alderman, and he decided to re-
sign now in order that his successor
nicipal election to be held on Tues
day, April 1.
Mr. Agee was elected a member
of the city council one year ago and
during his incumbency in the office
he has made the city splendid al
derman. He is a business man of
broad views, is thoroughly conscien-
tious in the discharge of his duties
and has devoted a large portion of
his time to the detail work incident
to the conduct of the city's affairs.
The salary of an alderman is only
three dollars a month, and for this
compensation the members of the
council have to meet at least twice
month and sometimes three or four
times. In addition to attending meet
ings the committee work has steadi-
ly grown in volume and detail until
it requires large amount of time.
With the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Agee and that
caused by the expiration of the term
of j. A. Edwards from the first ward,
it will be necessary to elect two al
dermen from that ward. Those most
frequently mentioned as candidates
for the places are Will Fligor and
Macon Sims. However, neither of
them has yet announced.

SON Of MRS. R. H. FOX
KILLED IN KENTUCKY
Arthur Scott Shot Three Times by
Charley Younger With Appar-
emily no Provocation.

The Clinton, KY, Gazette, in its
issue of February 8, contains an &C
count of the killing of Arthur Scott
by Charley Younger at Columbus,
KY, on Saturday, Feb. 6. Young
Scott was a son of Mrs. r. H. Fox
who resides in South Paragould. The
Gazette's account of the tragedy is
as follows
Saturday morning the cOmmuni-
ty was greatly shocked when it was
learned that Charley Younger had
killed Arthur Scott, as some think, in
cold blood. The killing occurred at
Ethridge Young's home on the hill
where Scott and his wife have been
living. Charley Younger who had
been drinking came down town early
Saturday morning and procured some
cartridges. When he saw Mr.. and
Mrs. Scott on the street he made the
remark that he was going to kill
that man
about thirty minutes later he had
carried out the threat, having shot
Scott three times, killing him in
stantly. After the shooting Younger
left the house Immediately and went
to a neighbor's where his mother and
brother joined him. He surrendered
to a citizen who kept him in custody
until deputy sheriff took him to
Clinton.
There are many conflicting con-
lectures about the cause of the trou-
BILE, but it is thought there is wo-
man mixed up in the case.
"The deceased was native of this
county and is survived by wife and
his mother, Mrs. Fox, of Paragould,
Ark. The burial took place in Co
lumbus Sunday"

Pioneer Citizen Dead.

(From Thursdays Daily Press)
VIM. Welch, familiarly known as
''Uncle Dock" residing on route one,
out of Walcott, died yesterday after
noon. He was in his eighty-first
year and for several months had been
in feeble health on account OF the in
firmities of his age. His son, Char
lev, died in Oklahoma, in December,
and following trip to that state Mr.
Welch went to Texas, where he spent
several weeks, returning to his home
in this county only recently. 1t is
said Mr.. Welch realized he had only a
short time in which to live and maCa
all his preparations to die. He had
resided on a farm in Cache bottoms
for more than fifty years and long
before there was a railroad in this
country he bought cattle and drove
them to Cape Girardeau, Mo-, for
shipment to ST. Louis. Mr. Welch
had accumulated hundreds of acres
of fine lands in Cache bottoms and
his estate is said to be valued at
more than one hundred thousand
dollars. He is survived by one son,
/ John Welch, and one daughter, Mrs
Jasper Lenderman, besides numerous
grandchildren. His wife died several
years ago.
