PLAN TO PROVIDE MONEY

He ralSeS Tn the two departments, amounting to approximately s1S,OO0 for the remaining nine months of the cur rent fiscal year, can. in all probabil- ity, be financed in two ways First, a general retrenchment in expenses. Second, by stricter supervision to rev. enue sources
 Tn the event the two methods men toned above do not. prove adequate, there are items in the current budget under the heads of bills payable, ma turing during the current year which can be deferred"
 The exact amount of money neces- sary to raise the two departments pay for the remainder of the fiscal year is $17,61Z50. The raise affects only the men who are now making $50 per month. None of the ranking officers in the police department participate in the increase
 The 2S captains, three engineers. three inspectors, one superintendent and one secretary of the fire depart ment receive raise of $2.5O per month. The present pay of these men is S97.50.
 DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY
 Based on nine months pay during the remainder of the fiscal year the money will be distributed as follows: 9l Bremen at SlO per month
 increase ................$ S,190.00 97 Policemen at SIC per month
 increase ..,............... S.7so.Oo. 23 Captains, 3 engineers, in
 spectors, l superintendent,
 secretary, increase $2.50 per
 month ................ 697.5O
 Total .................. $17617.50
 Delegations of firemen and police men appeared before the commission last Monday and presented their re- quests for more pay They produced statistics to prove that their present wage was insufficient to support their families.
 The policemen asked for $10 raise for each man. The firemen asked for raise of s10 per month plus 21a per cent.
 Every man in the police department who is at present making $50 per month will be increased to s90 per month. The raise does not apply to the patrol chauffeurs, who are paid $60 per month. All the plain clothes men in = e detective department will receive SyJ. which is the same pay as detectives.
 The commissioner of public safety stated that the patrol chauffeurs were in direct line of promotion and as matter of fact were supernumeraries working on full time. The desk ser geants will also receive the $10 in- crease. their present salaries being $75 per month.

The Thornton lumber plant Is their model, and the editors may also be taken to the experimental station conducted by the mill, thus enabling them to compare the work being done at the state agricultural school, and at a farm operated by a private corporation. Short stops will also be made at Bearden, Fordyce, Rison, with the Thursday night stop at either Pine Bluff or De Witt. Gil- lette will also be visited while the editors are on this branch line.
 The schedule for the last two days Is indefinite, but the railroad officials request that the newspaper men go over the balance of the line, which will take them to Jonesboro, Para gould, Piggott, Rector, Marmaduke, and back through Brinkley, Claren- don and England, arriving in Little Rock Saturday evening.

LIQUOR MEN AND LABOR.

Before the convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor there was a demand by the liquor interests or or ganizations identified with them, that the American Federation of Labor line up with the liquor men in their fight against prohibition Mir. Charles Stelzle, writing in the Continent, says that the atmosphere of the convention was so decidedly unfriendly to such action that the liquor men were easily persuaded to drop the entire question. Throughout the conven- tion,'' continues MT. Stezle, the liquor men were strangely quiet, refraining from taking any part in any of the discussions, for fear of arousing the enmity of anybody whose opinions might be controverted.
 "A mass meeting for the purpose of discussing the relation of labor to the saloon was held on the first Sunday afternoon of the convention, and was attended by about one thousand per sons. With the use of government statistics and logic which appealed to the workers, facts were presented which battered down the arguments of the liquor men that the abolition of the saloon would create a labor panic.
 The statement that the labor men in England had not only organized a labor officials temperance fellowship with which the best leaders were iden- tified, but that bartenders, brewery workers and others in the liquor in- dustry were not considered worth or ganizing by the British Trades con- gress, had marked effect on the au- dience."

PRESS ASSOCIATION
 EXCURSION FOUR DAYS
Annual Meeting to be Held in TeXarkana-Excursion Con- mittee Close Negotiations for Excursion, on Cotton Belt.

The excursion committee of the Arkansas Press Association, cooper ating with the executive and pro- gramme committees, has closed the negotiations for the excursion which follows the annual meeting of the association. The Press Association meets this year in Texarkana, and the excursion will start from that city. lasting four days, during which the entire system of the Cotton Belt railroad in Arkansas will be gone over in a special train, courtesy to the editors by Pres. Britton of that railroad.
 It is planned to have a number of the editors arrive in Texarkana by Sunday morning of the week in which the meeting is to be held, and occupy the pulpits of churches of that city, speaking upon the attitude of the press on subjects of moral and reli- gious interest. The program commit
 
 editors to the churches, but Pres Claude Mann has requested that Hon. T. l.. Pound, the rotund postmaster editor of Danville, be extended the courtesy of the Holy Roller church, as a special favor to himself and the genial vice president.
 Opie Reed is one of the speakers for the convention, and M W. Con molly, editor of the Memphis News Scimitar. and a co-laborer with the distinguished novelist when he was engaged in newspaper work in Ar kansas. Other pioneers of the Ar kansas press who have since risen in the world, will also be invited to at tend the meeting and take part in the program.
 Because Texarkana has also been selected as the meeting place for 1917, when joint session will be held with Louisiana and Texas, only two days will be spent in the Gate City this year, Monday and Tuesday. This is ample time to wind up the business of the association, and will permit the editors to start on their excursion on Wednesday morning. The special train to be furnished by the Cotton Belt will consist of a baggage car and three chair cars, with several private cars to make 1t all the more impressive. Industrial Commissioner Walker V. Powell, who personally visited Pres. Britton and requested that the train be supplied | for the editors, will have his private car on the train, and Pres. Britton will probably make a portion of the trip also. General Superintendent J. | w. Dean of the Iron Mountain, and Rock Island officials will also be in- vted to attach their cars to the train.
 The first day the editors will visit lLewisvile, Stamps, Waldo, Stephens, and spend some time at the agricul- tural school at Magnolia, reaching Camden for the night. The second day will start with reception at

SIL0AM SPRINGS MAN
 GETS BACK HEALTH

John M. Roach of Sloan Springs, Ark, was long sufferer from stom- ach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe He was congested, unhappy, nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van- ished. He wrote:
 "When your trial treatment was received I was getting better on an- other treatment, so I deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously 1 have had to just wear out such attacks. I thought this a good test. l took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and l have felt like a new man ever since"
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver, and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of yourd ruggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfactory money will be returned.
