 The greatest needs of Arkansas for the profitable growing and fattening of beef cattle are the eradication of the fever tick so that cattle can mako a normal growth, the introduction of better blood through good sires, which will quickly follow tick eradication, and . better understanding of stock growing so that the favorable condi. tiens which prevail can bs taken a1p vantage ee to the fullest extaa2

shall live forever, but not here. !"
 Dear mourning ones, you must look to the home beyond for RilIa. You cannot bring her back, but you can go to her. She left evidence that she was ready to meet God. She goes out to explore the great beyond. Indeed we, as we look after her may say with Whittier in his Eternal Goodness:
 II know not where his islands
 lift
 Their fronded palms in air; only know I cannot drift.
 Beyond his love and care.
 We shall gently lay her away while the stars from their eter- nal dome silently watch over her dwelling. Be still, Christ speaks, listen, Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and 1 will give you rest. ;" It is Gods command. Let her go. Who would say no? Not 1. Mother, would you? No. Sis ters, would you? You cannot. But let us live so that we may go after our battle is fought and the victory won. We shall win the victory through Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

ZOE ANOTHER kansas Bank
Uamasked Man Holds Up Cashier at
JsrbaIo and Takes $f,2s2-
overIooked 5000.

More than $1,000 in gold and cur
rency was overlooked by an unmasked
rObber who entered the only bank at
Jarbalo, a little town sixteen miles
west Of LeaYeRworth. the other after
noon and escaped with 81 1852 in COM
pany with two other men and q Wo-
man in q motor car. The man who
committed the robbery was seen In
town about four hourse previous to
the deed. He arrived on train from
Topeka and spent the time walking
quietly about the village. T. II.
Moore, bookkeeper at the Jarbalo
State Bank, noticed while he was
cashing a check for a farmer that a
man was looking through the window.
When the farmer left the man walked
calmly up to the cashiers window,
reached to his inside coat pocket as
though for a check and drew out re-
Yolver. The weapon was flashed in
the bookkeeper's face with the old
order of throw up your hands,
Moore complied and when ordered
to bring out all the money in the bank
he went to the vault, bringing out
two trays, containing S1,262 in gold
and currency. The bOokkeeper eI
planned that the bank had enjoyed a
heavy run and that there was no more
money. The ruse worked.
The robber ordered Moore into the
vault. Both doors were shut on the
bookkeeper, but the combination lock
was not turned and he was able to
free himself within ten minutes,
when the alarm was spread Shortly
before the robber entered the bank
Jarbalo citizens were shocked at the
actions Of a woman in company with
two men driving into town in a motor
car. All three were laughing, drink
ing and smoking cigarets. The motor
car pulled up in front of the bank
and stopped for a few minutes. It
started on and waited only block
away until the third man joined with
the loot. The car started south for

FIRST KANSAS NOW IN CAMP
All of States Contribution of Soldiers
Have Reached Border-Storm
az Eagle Pass

With the arrival of the First Kansas
regiment at Eagle Pass, Tex, the en-
tire Kansas National Guard has
reached the border. 1t will not take
long for the First to get settled.
The headquarters company and the
machine company and the supply
company and the sanitary detachment,
which arrived the day before, had al
ready cleared the camp site of most
aggressive chapparal> and barbed
brush and spiked shrubbery. In two
days the camp will look like that Of
the Second, smooth and fat and clean
as an armory floor. The first battaI-
ion of First Regiment, Companies A,
B, c and D, commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Charles S. Flander. arrived about 2
o'clock The second battalion, COM
manded by Maj. Frank W. Butler,
followed in a half hour with Com
panies E, F, NJ and H The third bat
talon, Companies I. K, L and NJ, I'M
der Maj. A. L. Hichens, came in about
O'Clock
Col Wilder S. Metcalf commanded
the troops of the First who arrived
first There were los men and nine
officers of the regiment with him.
The total strength of the First now is
between eight hundred and nine hun
dred.
A heavy wind struck shortly after
nightfall. Scores of tents of the mill
tia were blown down, tarpaulins strip
ped from piles of supplies and equip
ment tumbled about the camp. In the
city signs were torn away and sew
eral store fronts smashed in.
Then the rain came in a Yeritable
cloudburst. The greater part of the
electric lighting system at the army
camp was put out Of commission and
men stumbled about in the rain and
dark throwing protecting canvas over
munitions, retrieving bits of equip
ment and struggling to raise fallen
tents. In a few minutes the camp
streets were six inches deep in mud
and water. Most of the men slept in
wet clothing and soaked hunks.

The First Kansas Infantry, which
ranked second in field efficiency in
competition with national guards of
all the states, has buttressed its repu-

hours it has been at Camp Shafter.
Where in the morning there was
thorny stretch of desert, cluttered
with stones and barbed bushes, there
now is the clean, smooth, orderly en-
campment of more than eight hun
dred men. Looking at it you couldn't
tell it had not been there a year.
Looking at the tanned young Kansan
who transformed it you'd not guess
he worked all day in the morning
mud and under the blistering after
noon sun, despite a prOffered respite
by Colonel Metcalf, to accomplish it
before shutdown.

this already has been supplemented
by a system ditch. The men of Com

to complete the installation of the
adobe foundations for their cook

All the units of the Kansas National

three battalions of the First Infantry
arrived early in the morning. By late
afternoon the First had cleaned up
camp site, pitched its tents, eaSeD
dinner prepared in its own mess
tents, enjoyed a musical program by
the band and begun a study of ento-
mology. The specimens came from
the chaparal and mesquite the boys
cleared away and instructors came
from the Second Kansas. The Sec
ond for week has studied the habits
and temperament of everything that
creeps, crawls and wiggles, and it is
showing the First how to identify
spiders which eat flies and make good
pets from centipedes and tarantulas
with mean dispositions.
