roads has resulted in thousands of skilled men being thrown out of employment and has resulted in a necessary curtail1nent of expenditures which ordinarily mean hun dreds of thousands of dollars spent each year for material and labor in Arkansas.
 In a letter to Chairman Trumbull of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, President Wilson said:
 "The interest of the producer, the ship per, the merchant the investor, the finan- cier and the whole public, in the proper maintenance and complete efficiency of the railroads is too manifest.
 "They are indispensable to our whole eco- homie life, and railway investments are at the very heart of most Investments large and small, by individuals and institutions
 q am confident there will be active and earnest cooperation in this matter, per- haps the one common interest of our whole industrial life.
 Undoubtedly men, both in and out of of ficial position, will appreciate what is in volved and lend their aid heartily whenever it is possible for them to lend it.
 ''The emergency is, in fact, extraordi. nary, and where there is manifest common interest we ought to, all of us, join in call ing attention to it. This is a time for all to stand together in united effort to com prehend every interest and serve and sus- tain it in every legitimate way.
 "Within the sphere of legitimate enter prise we must all stand as one to see jus z and rendered ungrudgingly."

President Wilson Asks Cooperation
 of the People and Railroads

The railroads. of Arkansas are today fac ing the most serious financial problem they have ever been called upon to solve. Briefly, it is more revenue or receiverships. The price of practically everything has advanced very materially during the recent past. The railroads are now paying more for neces- sary material and labor, and for practically everything that goes into the operation of a railroad, and yet are receiving less reve- nue. The railroads are not asking for an increase in this instarce. They are merely asking for the restoration of rate which the Interstate Commerce Commission re- gently decided is reasonable, and which is generally conceded by those conversant with business and railroad conditions to be just.
 Because the railroads believe that the citizens of this state desire to be fair, be- cause the railroads believe their cause is just and because Arkansas prosperity has a close relationship to railroad prosperity, tie railroads have decided to appeal to the people in a series of articles. They request the people to read these articles, keeping in mind that the closest scrutiny of every statement is invited. They wish to present their case clearly and openly.
 The railroads have transportation to sell, but cannot sell it at present prices and meet their ob, gations. They want to give Arkansas as good service as is given in any other State by any railroad, but this is impossible under a two-cent rate The rail roads will be able to show that the con- stant and unnecessary harassing of rail-

MANY PEOPLE STUDY PICTURES

The art exhibit at the public library
ope led auspiciously Tuesday evening
witt an excellent attendance. AS al
most 1000 tickets have been sold, the
attendance today, tomorrow and Sat
urday will undoubtedly be large. The
collection consists of about two hun
dred pictures in reproduction of the
worlds greatest masterpieces of archi-
lecture, sculpture and painting.
Beginning at the entrance of the re-
ception DON the pictures are arrang-
ed chronologically and grouped geo.
graphically, following the north, west
and south walls, and finishing with
comparatively modern American and
English art IN the entrance side of the
hall.
The collection has a distinctly edu-
c~ational purpose in view, being arrang-
ed to show the development of art from
the pyramids and temples of Egypt
through the fine old classic architec-
ture and sculpture, Italian painting,
Dutch. French, Spanish, English and
American.
Those who wish to make a special
study of the pictures leisurely are well
come to visit the exhibit during the
morning hours, and so avoid the rush
that is apt to follow school hours.
The exhibit will be open every after
noon and evening this week. Season
tickets can be secured for Csc. Special
program Is arranged for each evening.

for any individual. as the admission
