DECLARES THAT ARKANSAS
 IS UNFAIRLY TREATED
Rivers and HarbOrs Committee Mem. bers Hog Things" Says Cara way. To Offer Ammendment
 to Rivers Bill.

Washington, Jan. 14.- Charging that states unrepresented on the com mittee were receiving unfair treat ment Tn the matter of river apropria- tions and that members of the com mlttee were endeavoring to "hog things in their own states, Congress- man Caraway of Arkansas today de- Iclared that while he would support the present river and harbor appro- ipriation bill, yet he intended offering amendments providing for appropria- tions for Arkansas rivers as recom- mended by the Board of Army Engin- eers.
 He pointed out that Florida, with the chairman of the committee from that state, would get more than mil lion dollars, while Louisiana, unrepre sented on the committee and with more miles of navigable streams, got but $120500 He declared that Ark Iansas, with twice the number of miles Iof naYigable streams, would receive S430,000, whill Mississippi, represent ed on the committee, got more than a million dollars.
 Texas he declared with no naviga- Ible streams, received two and a quar- ter millions, and Pennsylvania was given a million and quarter dollars. He pointed out that North Carolina Georgia and Alabama, represented on the committee, received three and a quarter million dollars, and that Maryland, Virginia and South Caro- lima, without representation and with four times the navigable streams mileage, would receive $232, 800
 "Why even the District of Colum- bia, which is not as large as the town ship in which 1 live" said Mir. Cara way, ''gets two and one-half times as much pork as the entire state of Ar kansas"
 He pointed out that army engineers had recommended appropriations oi $1 1,146,000 for Arkansas rivers, but that the committee had allowed less
 than i per cent of that amount, while
 Florida and Mississippi received more
 than 95 percent of sums recommendec 1 by the board.

ROU CdH
W. C. T. U.

Good New Year resolutions were carried generously into effect as was evidenced by the throng of earnest women who met with the President, Mrs. Sam o. Logan yesterday after noon in the first meeting of 1915. Everyone seemed to feel the thrill that a large meeting always generates, and we trust that the attendance was only a precursor of better things to come as the year advances.
 The Sunday School Temperance Lesson, which comes on Jan. 31st, was discussed and Tive presidents of the various churches were urged to see that special stress will be given to it,
 Statewide Prohibition was an inter- esting topic also, and each member was urged to look after that feature of the legislature when it is brought to the front.
 As "Needed Institutions" in the State-an Industrial School for girls and home for Delinquents were sug- gested. We must have these if we eX- pect to grow apace with up-to-date civilization.
 A gift from our good brother-in- law of the W. C. T. U. Mr. Ellsworth, of large temperance bill-broad to be placed near the station was ac- cepted with thanks. The passer-by will have something more attractive to meet the gaze than Bull Durham and "Wine of Cardui" all the time.
 Everybody joined in, enthusiastic cally when a box for the suffering Bel gians was mentioned, and it took only few minutes to get 50 lb. box Those not present missed an opportu- nity of serving. Moral-come next time and all the time.
 Of course the big meeting we are to have next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in the Methodist church was cheered quite heartily. See windows for exhibit of Mir. Albert Louis Banks, one of the foremost anti-saloon work CTS of the nation. Come one; come all!

MUSIC PLAYS PROMINENT
 PART AT EXPOSITION

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 15.-Music play prominent part in the life at the Panama California Exposition, which opened here New Years Eve One of the structures on the grounds is an outdoor organ, the largest in the world, which was erected at the cost of $100,000. In addition to the organ which is played daily, there are four bands. At the United States Marine barracks on the grounds is that of the Fourth Regiment, and there are also the First Cavalry and the Thirteenth Artillery bands. Of course there is the Exposition's Spanish band. These bands, which are sta tioned in San Diego, are supplemented by other organizations, among which Is the Twenty-ffth Regiment band of Ensenada, Mexico. During the first week of the Exposition, all of these bands played on the grounds at diff ferent times. On one afternoon, four were playing at the same time in diff ferent parts of the grounds, which cover an area of GA acres.

was fine indeed. Every item from the New Year poem read by Mrs. Young, to the Happy old Year" which brought so many victories to us, read by Mrs. Jordan.
 "The Crisis" read by Mrs. Scott was an adaptation of James Russell Low ell to the present liquor crisis.
 The dialogue by Mrs. Charlie Tom kins representing the "Demon of Darkness" and Mrs. D. L. McRae, rep resenting the Liquor Traffic" proved to the satisfaction of all that both are trembling in their boots" for fear of losing their hold on the people,
 "Why we expect to win" read by Mrs. Blakely sounded like hope handed from heaven as it came from the lips of Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens in her last annual address, and who has since passed to the higher life.
 Indeed all can not be said of the meeting that duly belongs to it, for one had to be present to realize the beauty and sincerity of it all.
 The Union had as guests, Miss Julia Logan, and Mrs. Taggart. Next meeting to be with Mrs. A. A. Reeder.
 Let us have still larger meeting. The w. c. T. U. is not for the careless or flippant class of women, but for the thoughtful women who feel the worlds woe and have a longing to do something for it's relief, by putting re- forms in motion that will work out a ''far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" here and now, for those living here and now. The fu- ture will take care of itself if We get this beautiful world transformed into a heaven in answer to Christs own prayer: "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. "-Reporter.

tember, 1916; when he recommended the continuance of the Confederate pension levy; when he warned the members against the insidious actions of the boodler and grafter who might attempt to corrupt legislation; and when he referred to administration of President Wilsop and Secretary of State Bryan as "the ablest national administration in our history"
 There has been much interest in the governors attitude on the revenue situation. He handled the subject in masterly manner, stressing the i'm portance of adopting "a policy of the strictest economy" in making appro- priations for the various departments and institutions of the state. He fav- ored liberal appropriations for the maintenance of all the institutions of education, but said that under the cir cumstances he would be unable to rec ommend the full appropriations asked for by the President of the University of Arkansas.
 The Governor recommended an ap- propriation, the amount not specified, to enable the state to have a cretitabe exhibit at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco. The governor, acting with a large body of representative citizens of the state, has for some months been working on the proposi- tion of providing a suitable building on the Street of States, and it is nee essary that an appropriation be made to secure and place the exhibits, pro- vide for the maintenance of the build ing, and other necessary expenses. This is what the governor recom- mends.
