Be Careful About Wrapping Packages
 For Rural Delivery

m the December Farm and Preside there IS an important suggestion about wrapping packages. The writer says:
 T needed those things for this evening" groaned Mrs. Blank when the boy, returning from the mail box hundred rods from the house, handed her slip on which the rural carrier had written: Have package that will not 20 in box. As you told me never to trouble to drive in, will bring again tomorrow
 That package contained articles much desiled for that evening, when the eighteenth birthday of the daugn- celebrated
 cousin in the next country to send over,' explained Mrs. Blank. She lives on a rural route and I supposed she , would wrar them so they could be left in the box. l suppose she did not think
 That is the trouble with a lot of us when we are wrapping packages for delivery on rural routes. If we are wrapping parcel that i will contain perhans a little over 500 cubic inches, the chances are that v-e will wrap it as square parcel or as one about SXSX10 inches. In either case it will not enter the average R. F. D. boX
 If the package for Mrs. Blank had been wrapped so it was six inches
 square at the ends giving it length rather than thickness. she would have | received it on time"

 sister. Mrs Benjamin Yaeger of Glend1le and also to choose a new home. He is delighted with the pros | oect of living here and will not turn his attention to any one thing-for
 the present at least. His sole idea he says, is to rest after a long and strenuous political career. MT. OHara was chairman of the famous

PERHAPS HE |S MAN WANTED AND
 MAYBE HE ISN'T

one large sized. lantern jawed, blue eyed toWsled headed. good natured Irshman, caused the police and the sherffs office considerable trouble llst night, when he arrived at Six Points Tn a side door Pullman and dropped off into the arms of Police man Stewart. who was of the opinion that he answered the description of ore of the mUrdarers of the Simpson brothers. known to he headed in this direction.
 The police and sheriffs office had covered every stopping point within a radius of 50 miles. Every one was on the lui viye and prepared to grao the rnan when the freight stopped. Somehow or other. the good natured lrishman who answers to the name of Murphy sor" managed to escape the deputies stationed at Peoria and Morristown ard rolled into Six Points. where Policeman Stewart was stationed. Murphy alighted from the train, wandered over to a little store near by and inquired the best way into town
 The l0ungers in the store, jumped at conclusions, noted that Murphy were a cap and called for Stewart

who came on tEe jump, and after d snort chase took his man into cus- tody. A call to the sheriffs office brought out Deputy Ed Luke in a machine who took Murphy to head quarters
 Close questioning developed the fact that Murphy may be the man wanted for the Simpson murder. and then again he may not. He has curly hair as had one of the murderers. and h" wears a cap. Tie rest of his clothes are much the worse for wear. and do not answer the description of those of the man wanted.
 Murphy took the whole matter as 2 joke. He laughingly explained that he was a hard rock" man just down from Jerome which place he coul1 not stand due to the lack of sleeping accommodations. He left that place or Tuesday morning arriving in Pres co:t where he stayed over until yes terday morning, pulling out of there on q freight at II o'clock
 He did not seem the least bit ill at ease in spite of the fix he was in and was perfectly willing to talk atout his travels around the country Ills smile was the most obvious thing about his makeup, and made it hard to believe that one so good natured could commit crime.
 Murphy is a perfect specimen of manhood. standing feet inches and weighing 195 pounds He proudly ad- nuts that he is a bad man in a per soma! encounter. stating that he had made f interesting for the best of them I look at him convinces one that he is speaking the truth.
 Along with Murphy at the time he WAS arrested. was a man claiming to be from Chandler He was well dressed. and after a short interview on the part of the deputies. was al- lowed his freedom.

WORK OF GOTTHELF AVD HUBBARD WAS
 WELL APPRECIATED

Immensely satisfying to the highest artistic taste was the program ren- dered at the School of Music last night by Hubbard and Gotthelf-the opera logues." The audience comprised many of the musicians of Phoenix, whose appreciation of the excellent work of the artists was hearty and ex- pressed in numerous calls for encores.
 The operalogue, "The Love of Three Kings" by Montemazzi, was beauti- fully rendered. Being of tragic vein, it was a pleasing contrast when the artists played and recited the second number the operalogue "The Secret of Suzanne" by Wolf Sarrari-a light farcical piece.
 MT. Gotthelf rendered four piano solos and responded to two encores.
 It was by reason of the efforts of William Conrad Mills that Phoenix was enabled to enjoy the work of these talented artists. MT. Mills was able to arrange to bring them from New York for but three appearances in Arizona.
 During the performance members of the Musicians Club presented a huge bouquet to the artists.

PORTIONS OF PULASKI
 FLOODED BY ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-The Arkansas river went over it's banks or through weak places in the levees at several points in Pulaski county yesterday. The river rose slowly but steadily, in- lcreasing in turbulence throughout the day and at o'clock had reached a stage of 26.8 feet at Little Rock, a foot higher than "A hours before. Camp Asher on the county convict farm, west of Little Rock, was sur rounded by water, and between Wood son and Farrell, in the southeast part of the county, practically all the low lands were overf1owed.

ACTION 0f HIGGINS SURPRISES FRIENDS
QUITS SFCRET TARY'S RACE
CONWAY MAN WITHDRAWS ON ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH
 IN FAMILY.
From Saturdays Daily

TOin odIurudy ; DdLy-
 Conway friends of James B. Hig- gins were surprised to read in the Little Rock morning paper today an announcement of his withdrawal from the race for secretary of state. It was known that on account of the critical illness of his father and his own i'll health Mr. Higgins had been unable to prosecute his campaign wig orously for several weeks, but the news of his withdrawal came as quite surprise, as his friends here felt that he had a good chance to win the race.
 The withdrawal leaves the race be- tween T. J. Terral, secretary of the Arkansas senate in 1915, and Virgil IA. Beeson of Morrilton, representa- tive of Conway county in the legisla- ture of 1915. Both are popular young men who have many friends here and both are conducting an aggressive campaign Their race will be watch ed with interest.
 Mir. Higgins letter of withdrawal is as follows:
 Owing to the fact that l have been forced by the sickness of myself and father to lose time from the cam paign, I have decided to withdraw from the race for secretary of state. I am not physically or financially able to make the kind of race l believe will be necessary to win. l wish to return my thanks to my many friends for their offers of support and l re- gret that it becomes necessary for me to take this step."

DANIEL MAY WORK
 COUNTY PRISONERS
ON PAlARM PLANTATION
NEGOTIATIONS ON BETWEEN HIM AND FAULKNER
 COUNTY JUDGE.
From Saturdays Daily

-'-'' NtNJ
 Negotiations are in progress be- tween County Judge j. W. Holt and T. L. Daniel, the Palarm planter, looking to a contract for working the Faulkner county prisoners on the plantation of AIr. Daniel. The latter is also negotiating with Conway coun- tv officials and states that if he can make satisfactory contracts he will construct a stockade and make ar rangements to work the prisoners of both counties.
 Under the present system the coun- tv has no means of working the pris- oners who are committed to jail by justices of the peace in default of the payment of fines and costs. There IS not sufficient number of them to justify the employment of guards to work them on the roads and the pris- oners are confined in jail until their fines and costs are discharged at the rate of 75 cents per day. Neither the county nor the township officers are able to collect anything from these prisoners and the county is put to an expense of 75 cents per day for feed ing each prisoner. There are seven such prisoners in jail now.
 Under the terms of the county con- vict leases the contractor usually agrees to pay in cash the costs of each conviction and to feed and man. tain the prisoners while their fines are being worked out.

RIVER
 PLANTERS HOPEFUL
BELIEVE WORST IS OVER
FREEZE AND FAIR WEATHER WILL PREVENT MUCH IN
 CREASE IN ARKANSAS RISE.
From Tuesday s Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 With a hard freeze last night, which will have the effect of holding back some of the water, no rainfall during the past "A hours and fair weather today, Arkansas river plan ters in Faulkner county are feeling more hopeful The river was still rising at o'clock this afternoon, but the rise is very slow and the Arkan- ,sas is expected to crest tonight or to- morrow morning.
 Telephone lines to all points on the river front except B. E. Kings, on the mouth of the Cadron, are out of commission and it is impossible to ob tain direct information. A report from Levee District No. this morn- ing stated that the water lacked only five inches of coming over the levee, but that large gangs of men were billing up sandbags and it was hoped that the levee would be saved
 Col. J. E. Little telephoned last night that the levee in District No. 1 could hold back four feet more water, and everyone in that district was feeling secure. Headwater from the bayou, however, is giving considera- .ble trouble and is higher than was ever known before.
 The Cadron at Gleason this morn ing was up to the floor of the new steel bridge and was still rising. The approaches on both sides are covered Many thousands of acres of land in Cadron bottoms are overfowed, but so far no reports of serious damage have reached Conway.
 Mail service out of Conway is still seriously crippled, with little hope of immediate relief No mail has gone over the Bee Branch route, which serves Wooster, Martinville and Da- mascus in this county, since Satur- day. The mail to and from Green brier is being transported by skiff, the carriers coming to either side of the stream. The star route which serves Holland, Enola and M. Vernon, is be- ing operated only as far as Holland. Service on rural routes 1, and 5 IS considerably curtailed on account of the carriers being unable ito cross swollen streams.

STATE LEVEf BREAKS
 C0NYIC7S BROUGHT OUT

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-The Arkansas river flood, meeting the Mississippi high water, has backed up 60 miles from the mouth, broken the levee at Goree's stockade at the state convict farm at Cummins, and now is spread ing south over the lowlands of Lin coin, Desha, Drew, Chicot and Ash ley counties. The break in the levee was reported at II clock last night. Warner, Dumas and Douglass and Lake Village will be among the towns in the flood district, it is believed.
 With the threatening of the state farm at Cummins, yesterday, the white convicts were moved to the state penitentiary at Little Rock on special train. The steamer "Day Queen," Captain Joe Myar, waits be- low Pine Bluff to take off the 800 ne- groes who remain. This probably will be done this morning.
 Supplies for 20 families and 500 head of stock will be needed in lower Arkansas river lands in 10 days, ac- cording to D. c. Welty, Iron Moun- tain agricultural commissioner, who left Watson, yesterday noon. Wat son is threatened with destruction if the levees at Red Fork give way.
 The crests of the rivers are still above Dardanelle on the Arkansas river and Newport on the White river, many miles above the districts which will suffer most severely in what threatens to be the most eXten- sive flood in the history of the Ar kansas.
 The danger to the levee at the state farm yesterday caused the re- moval of 368 white prisoners, all those held at the state farm at Cum mins. from the Goree and Willy camps to the state penitentiary at Little ock. The arrangements were made early yesterday afternoon and the special train of six cars on the Iron Mountain railroad left Warner at 6 o'clock last night. It was switch ed to the penitentiary and the men were marched from the tracks to the walls" at midnight.
