PARAGOULD TRUST 60.
 GETS COUNTY FUNDS
Local Bank and Farmers Bank of Marmaduke Each Bid 6 1-4 Per
 Cent on Daily Balances.

Judge J. L. Light doesn't claim to be an overly wise man lin his day and generation" It is not on record that he has even indulged in the mod est claim of harboring more grey matter in his classic and profusely adorned dome of thought than the ordinary man who has not waded through Blackstone and other eel ebrities in legal lore. But this after noon he had to assume Solomon look and pull off perfectly staged Solomon stunt in disposing of a tie bid for the county funds for the next two years. The details, of course, varied slightly from the problem that the ancient wise man had put up to him by the two women who claimed ownership of the one baby. In that dilemma Solomon suggested a high class surgical operation as the proper solution of the matter, giving to each woman one-half the baby. But it must be remembered that Sol omon had no limit upon his authori ty, while the judge of Greene county is hedged about with statutory re- strictions outside of which he dare not roam. In consequence, when the Paragould Trust Company and the Farmers Bank of Marmaduke each put in bid offering to pay the coun- ty six and one-quarter per cent inter- est on daily balances on county funds, the court could not pull off the Sol- omon deal and split the funds, but was forced to choose between the two. He decided the issue in favor of the Paragould Trust Company for the reason that this is the county site, the court and the treasurer have their offices here and the law says the funds must be paid out at the county site, as is shown by Sec ton of the depository act which reads as follows:
 ''It shall be the duty of each de- pository to provide for the prompt payment at the county sites of the counties, all checks drawn by the county treasurers upon such funds," etc.
 Only two bids were put in for the county funds.
 The Paragould Trust Company has been the successful bidder for the county funds ever since the law be- came operative in 1908. For the year 1914, it was awarded the funds for five and seven- -eighths per cent, which yielded the county about $2,S00 in terest on the school and general funds. No other funds draw interest. The contract for the county funds is for a period of two years, hence the Paragould Trust Company will besthe official depository of the county un- til the first Monday in January, 1917.

REUNITED BY MOVIES
 AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS

New York, Jan. 4.-How two brothers, separated by nearly 2,0O0 miles and for almost fifteen years, were, through the production of a motion picture, brough together for a family reunion on Christmas in their old ancestral home in Mississip- si is told in letter to George L. Sar- gent, a motion picture producer and director.
 One of the brothers is Benjamin F. Rhodes, a portrait painter of Dan vile, Pa. The medium through which the reunion was reached was "A Gentleman from Mississippi" the exterior scenes of which were laid on the old Rhodes family estate, Arling- ton-on-the-Bayou, Natchez, Miss. The other brothers name is not giv- en, but he was living in Purcell, Ok.
 Neither brother had been to the old home in fifteen years and they were so touched when, at points far away from each other, they beheld on the screen the old homested and the familiar faces of the negroes they knew so we'll, that it made each man homesick for the other. So at the same time they wrote to Mississippi for information and subsequently, journey there to meet again.

Jim Boone Gets More Game.

Jim Boone, who feels that every time the sun shines out in winter Old Mother Nature intends it as a special invitation to kill big game, corralled his dogs a few days ago and hiked off to the L'Anguille bot toms near Waldenburg and proceed ed to SCOUT the timber for deer and turkey.

Prosecuting Attorney Advises Local Firms That Provisions Must Be
 Complied With.
(From Saturdays Daily Press)

You may state that the child la bor law which went into effect in this state on January 1, will be en- forced in Paragould and Greene county" said Robt. E. Fuhr, deputy prosecuting attorney this morning. "Our office has no choice in the mat ter, and while strict enforcement of the law will perhaps work hard ships in some instances, we cannot proceed otherwise than with the nec- essary prosecution when our atten- law
 Inquiry was made this morning by a reporter for The Press as to the probable number of boys and girls in Paragould whose occupation would be affected by the new law, but em- ployers had not investigated the ages of their employees to such an extent that definite information could be obtained. At the Pekin Cooperage Company plant it is stat ed about twenty boys are employed making pins. Many of these boys are under eighteen years of age and the officials of the company thought they came under the provisions of the new law However, reading of the sections of the law discloses the fact that unless the boys are under sixteen years of age they are not prevented from working around ma chinery.
 The Southwestern Telephone ex- change here has been employing a lad thirteen years of age, the son of widow, to do chores for the eX- change from six thirty to seven thir- ty in the morning, and from four until six in the afternoon. The boy is paid ten dollars a month for this service, and in addition usually earns about five dollars per month carrying messages. With this mon ey the boy is supporting himself in amount each month to his mother. Under the new law no child under fourteen years of age can be employ ed in any remunerative occupation except during school vacations. Man ager Campbell of the telephone eX- change conferred with MT. Fuhr about the employment of this boy and was advised he would have to discharge him, which the manager reluctantly did.
 The only other institution in Par agould that is positively known to be affected by the new law is The Daily Press. It employs four boys to de- liver papers each afternoon. Some of these are under fourteen years of age, and if the opinion of the prose- outing attorney is the correct one The Press will be forced to dispense with their services and employ boys fourteen years of age or more As to what effect, if any, the law will have upon the farmers who use
 their children in the crops only a trial will determine. The law says no child under the age of sixteen can
 be worked earlier than six o'clock in the morning or later than seven in the evening. Nor can any child
 under sixteen years of age be work ed more than eight hours a day.
 No child under eighteen years of age can be worked before six in the morning or after ten in the evening, nor more than ten hours a day, nor more than fifty-four hours in any week.

Closing Exercises of the Sunday
School There.

Ben Venue Library was taxed to it's
utmost capacity Sunday afternoon at
the closing exercises of the Sunday
school of which Miss Susan Colgate
is superintendent. There was a full
attendance of the scholars and about
25 visitors, despite the rain which
began to fall about the time people
were getting ready to start for the
school.
The program was a most interest
ing one and those who took part ac-
quilted themselves splendidly. Miss
Dorothy Lasell of Troy presided at
the piano and played the children's s
accompaniments. There was first a
praise service, consisting of three
songs, some questions and answers
and prayer.
Esther Foster recited the 34th
Psalm, Edith Ellet the Ten Command
ments, Mary Hoost and Etiie Hahn
the Beatitlides, Evelyn Colgate the
18th Psalm, Francis and Raymond
Douglass the books of the Bible,
Kathleen Ellet the DIST Psalm, Flea
nor Saunders and Alice Nulqueen the
2Srd Psalm, Hazel Hoost' and Tucker

Mulqueen the 121st Psalm.
Prizes of books were presented to
Esther Foster, who had been pres
ent every Sunday for four years; to
Thomas Foster, who had not missed
a Sunday in three years; and to
Evelyn Colgate, who had not been alb
sent Sunday in two years.
One of the many pleasant features
of the program was the march by
the children, preparatory to the Of
fering, headed by the superintendent.
They marched around the room three
times, keeping step with the music
and clapping their hands. convincing
the visitors that they lived up to the
text they had just rected, "The

Albany, Oct Awhile 1000 ma
chinists were preparing to strike at
the General Electric works in Sche-
nectady at 8 o'clock this morning,
the remaining were awaiting the re-
suits of a meeting which each of the
thirteen international unions at the
plant had under way.
The action of the machinists is
declared to have precipitated an open
break between me various unions en-
ployed at the plant over the eight
hour question. the machinists assert
ing the right to take independent ac-
tion, while the electrical workers and
some OF the other employees claim all
unions in the Metal Trades alliance
are bound by the acts of the com
mittec.
It was said last night the machin-
lists would leave the works quietly
and that there would be no molesta-
tion of the union men left in the
plant.
Dispatches received in Schenectady
yesterday told OF the settlement of
the machinists' grievance in the
Westinghouse plant at Pittsfeld, the
largest of the General Electric com
pany's competitors in the United !
States. This labor trouble was set
tied under an arrangement whereby
the men viii work lifty-two instead
of fifty-four hours a week and will get
the same pay they have been receiv-
ing, which means an increase of
about three and seven-tenths per
cent. The disturbance in the West
inghouse company's plant affected
$4,000 workers. perhaps 1000 more
than are now employed in the big
electric works at Schenectady.
The similarity of the trouble in the
two cities and the fact that the diff
ficulty was adjusted in Pittsfeld with
out a strike may have an important
effect on conferences still to be had
between workers and the manage
ment of the Schenectady company.
