MONSTER CIRCUS TO BE
 DRAWN BY MOTOR TRUCKS

What promises to revolutionize the circus world that has been the chief delight of boys and girls and the grown-ups ever since the days of Adam and Eve will be the utilization of the motor truck and automobile. The new United States Million Dollar Circus Corporation has recently been formed to exploit complete brand new circus entertainment, equipping the mighty circus in an entirely new magnificent dress. that will start on it's initial tour this spring and sum- mer, from New York city, utilizing fleet of 130 powerful motor trucks besides a large number of pleasure cars, using the natural highways for the tour, and eliminating entirely the use of railroads. The United States Circus Corporation is the first con cern in the amusement field to adopt twentieth century methods, which will no doubt be distinct revelation. These motor auto trucks range from two to three tons in weight and are equivalent to a regulation 100 circus car show. Every piece of circus property including the advance de- partment will be transported by motor autos manufactured especially for this monarch of circuses..

 MT. Kenney is there so little of the time that he hardly feels it necessary to heat the establishment. The bed, in one corner of the room, is heavily blanketed and he retires early. He has a double-burner oil stove, which is kept in commission for short time while his simple meals are in prepar- ation.
 To maintain his economical menu, MT. Kenney has had to do a little ransacking about town. He has dis covered that by calling at certain bakers shops he can get almost an armful of stale bread for 10 or 15 cents, and, besides, he says it is more wholesome to eat. He gets three cents cans of calms or salmon for a quarter. He uses the molasses as a sauce on his pudding. and buys cans of evaporated milk at the lowest pos Sible.

Augusta, Me, Dec. 12.-Stillman Al. Kenney, cotton mill operative, who lives tat the foot of Union street, in the matter of solving the high cost of living, has got ''that bunch of Chi cago dietitians skun a mile."
 Eighty cents in United States money!
 That's all stillman M Kenney is contributing weekly to the coffers of commerce to keep the wheels in his human organism going. And they keep going, too. He works all day in the cotton mills and walks a mile each way from his place of abode.

SAYS MOBILIZATION
 IF MILITIA FAILURE
GENERAL WOOD CLAIMS COUN. TRY IS UTTERLY DEFENSELESS
 AGAINST ORGANIZED FOE.
3,000.000 MEN ARE NEEDED
Former Secretary of Interior Declares If Pay of PriVates Were Raised to $50 Month the Service Would Be
 More Attractive to Recruits.

Washington-The mobilization of the National Guard for border service was described as a military failure, emphasizing the urgent necessity of abandoning the volunteer system as the tation's reliance for defense, in statements by Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff of the army, and Major General Leonard Wood, com manding the Eastern Department, be- fore the Senate subcommittee, consid- ering the Chamberlain universal mill tary training bill
 Both of the generals advocated uni yersal training General Wood said that the country now is utterly de fenseless against well organized foe; that the mobilization was a tragedy and that if the guardsmen had met good troops they would never have known what hit them" General Scott told the committee that lessons drawn from the present war proved that in case of war with first class power the United States would immediately need trained force of 1,500,00 men, with another 100000 available with in go days.
 On the other side of the question the committee heard Walter L. Fish CT of Chicago, former secretary of the interior, who opposed universal ser vice, though he stood for adequate de- fense measures and suggested a regu-
 
 lar army of half million. He thought if the pay of privates were raised to S30 a month the service would be more attractive to recruits
 General Wood, from whose depart. ment went S5.000 of the guardsmen sent to the border, said of the men en- rolled when the call came, an average of 30 per cent of each company had to be dropped for physical defects and the organizations went to the border filled up with green men.
 Its been tragedy" he said, but worth all it's cost if We only profit by it. It was not the fault of the officers or men, but of defective system If We had been compelled to meet good troops down there, it would have been a scene of carnage. The guardsmen would never have known what hit them"

OLD GREENE COUNTY
 TAXES ARE REVIVED
SUES TO HAVE RESTORED 25 MILES OF TERRITORY AN
 ANNEXED TO CLAY.
CASE OF LONG STANDING
It Is Said If Greene Wins the Suit Clay County Will Be Required to Make Refund of All Taxes Col
 Iected Since 1895.
Para gould

HdTdSOuiu.-
 Suit has been instituted in Chan cery Court at Paragould by Greene County against the collector and as sessor of Clay county asking the court to restain these officers from leyying, assessing or collecting any taxes on the lands and other property in Blue Cane Township and from exercising any authority over the township upon the allegation that the territory em- braeed in Blue Cane is rightfully a part of Green county.
 Under a special act of the Legisla- ture of 1895 Blue Cane Township comprising approximately 25 square miles of territory. was taken from Greene county and annexed to Clay county and since that time it has been under the jurisdiction of the Clay county authorities.
 Five years ago the county court of Green county authorized the institu ton of suit in chancery in an effort 10 have the territory restored to Greene county, alleging that section l, article 13 of the constitution specific ally provides that the area of no cOun- ty in Arkansas shall be reduced be low 500 square miles The petition alleged that when Blue Cane Town ship was taken from Greene county the area was reduced to 575 square miles, and that because of this fact the act seeking to annex the terri tory in controversy to Clay county was violation of the constitution.
 The suit was continued for several terms pending the collection of au- thentic evidence showing the exact number of square miles in Greene county Because of the fact that the federal government had not made a survey of certain swamp lands this evidence could not be obtained, and a non-suit was taken.
 Recently the government completed it's survey of swamp lands and it is now known positively that Greene county has only 575 square miles. and since this fact can now be established the suit has been revived and will come up for hearing at the next term of chancery court The territory in controversy is one of the richest sec tions of the country, containing a large number of fertile and highly de veloped farms.
 If Green county wins the suit Clay county will have to refund all the taxes collected since 1895.
