JUDGFS
 SENDS
URGES SUBSCRIPTIONS TO\ ADVANTAGEOUS THE N
 LITTLE ROCK HIGHWAY.
Ready to Start the County Road Crew on the Work as Soon as Some Guarantee Of the Pay Can Be Made by Citizens.

County Judge Robert Mooney, in urging help to the end that the new Little Rock-Hot Springs highway may be completed and opened for travel, is sending out letter to many citizens he thinks will be interesed and wild help when the situation is placed before them. The letter being sent out now is as follows:
 Dear Sir-You are no doubt aware that the contract entered into be- tween this county and w. l. Murphy for the building of five miles of road on wlat is known as the Little Rock Highway has been completed. All who have examined the work agree that it has been performed in an ad- mirable manner, and that the money subscribed was judcidcly expended
 At the present time the Little Rock Highway Is in splendid shape for distance of ten miles from tho city of Hot Springs. There yet re- mains about four and one-half miles of this road to be repaired. and when this repair is made. Garland county will have done it's part toward the building of the Hot Springs- Little Rock Highway. Unfortunately, the expense of the work contem3lated and finished under contract with Mir Murphy has far exceeded the original estimated cost Not only have all available road funds been expended but the credit of the county has been strained 10 the utmost in order to pay for this work; therefore it is now impossible for the county 10 proceed with this work unless 1t has the CO., operation and assistance of our citizens.
 ITO that end | have formulated a plan which has met with the approval of large number of our business men, and the plan is this: That q Good Roads Club be formed, consist. ing of 150 members, the life of the club to be not exceeding a period of three months, and the monthly dues to be g., payable in 30, 60 and 90 days. This will provide for month iy revenue of $750 dollars, which amount is abundantly sufficient to de. fray the monthly expenses of the county crew and machinery.
 If this club can be organized, and the notes providing for the subscrip- lions as herein outlined, he signed, I will move the county road outfit inn mediately, and I can positively assure you that within 90 days this folrmile stretch of road will be completed and in every way in keeping, so far as

 HAVE NOTICED:

That simply ignoring an account never settles it.
 That "Dcadbeats" never spend cash where they owe a bill.
 That indefinite promises and hard luck stories do not pay merchants notes at the bank.
 The slower a person is in paying bills the louder they will "hollor" at a fancied wrong.
 That the person whose credit is questionable feels insulted when you call 1l07 for their rating.
 The person who wants to stall on their account begins by asking for an itemized statement.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The battles in both the east and west consist largely of artillery duels with occasional in- fantry attacks. The French claim to have made further progress at Pont- A-Mousson, to which military men at tach much importance. It is predicted the Germans will launch heavy of fensive as they did at Soissons in order to stop the French advance toward the Metz roads.
 Berlin reports indicate the Germans have undertaken a counter offensive in Alsace. In Poland and Western Galicia the Germans and Austrians continue their attacks against the Russian lines which it is reported have been repulsed with heavy losses. The Russians are slowly advancing through the noun tains separating Bukowina and Trans ylvania. and are approaching the Ru- manian border.
 As for the Turkish Caucasian army it is believed it will not retire to Erz- erum, but will be put in readiness for defense against the Russians when they decide to advance. It is considered likely, however. the Russians will be content for the present. with the suc- cesses already gained in this region, and turn their attention to the Turkish forces in Azerbaijan before invading Turkey.

FEDS f9sXy, TO PROVE
 BIG LEAGUES TRUST
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl

CHICAGO. Jan. 20-The absolute control of organized baseball over it's players, and the minor leagues and the methods of it's alleged oppression were told in the opening hearing of the Federal League anti trust suit against the big leagues before Judge K. NJ. Landis. Keene Addington, chief coun- sel for the plaintiff had not finished his opening argument at adjournment, and it is probable the case will last into next week.
 Addington cited the features of the national agreement, the decisions of the National Commission, the general practices Of baseball authorities in an effort to prove that ball players are not free agents, and have little chance becoming so because of the system of waivers and drafts. He told of the case of Mordecai Brown, who was sold to Louisville by c. M. Murphy of the Cubs, with the understanding that he would be allowed to rejoin the majors.
 The fact that the players are without choice of a club with which to play was cited as oppression.
 A large crowd attended but the trial was without thrills. The spectators, however got a good view of many cele- brities, and many noted players of or ganized baseball, and the Federals hob nobbing together.

F|L|bUSTER ON SHIP PURCHASE

Republicans Determined to Carry on Fight in Senate Despite the Fact Admin istration Appropriations Bills Are Pending
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-After three days continuous assault on the government ship purchase bill Sena- tor Burton late today yielded the floor of the senate to Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, who continued the fight. In the meahtime the demo- cratic leaders, who regard the repub- lican opposition as an open filibuster, are determined to keep the measure before the senate, despite the ap- propriation bills.
 The democrats hope to wear out the opposition. but the republicans are preparing for a protracted fight Tonight the democrats held another caucus to perfect the bill.
 Senator Weeks, Lodge and Jones brought to their desks piles of books and documents and remained on guard all day to take up the debate when Burton was tired. Others who are preparing to talk are Root, Sutherland, Brandagee, Smoot, Gal finger and Nelson. After an infor- nal republican conference it was an nounced when the speeches on the bill are exhausted a substitute will be offered on which to base further arguments.
 The democrats then planned to re- cess instead of adjourning from day to day in order to keep the debate in one legislative day and handicap the minority orators under rule that no senator shall speak more
