STAFF AFTER REAL MONEY
Temptation Was More Than Any
Newspaper Men Could Be Elk
pected to Resist.

A visitor to small country town in
England unwittingly held up the To-
cal newspaper. Having lost his dog,
an animal that he priced very much,
he rushed to the newspaper Office and
handed in an advertisement offering
$50 reward for the return of his pet.
Half IN hour later he thought he
would add to his advertisement the
words, mo questions asked" So he
hurried to the office again.
When he got there the place was
empty save for Il small boy, who looked
very sulky,
where's the Staff" asked the tour
list, CHANGING round the deserted room.
"Out looking for your dog" replied
the boy, who was evidently aggrieved
ut being left behind.-Youth's Com

inside of the shoe. This affords II
smooth surface to the foot and dis
penses with Il lining, which has been
responsible for most of the sore feet
in the army. The flesh side of the
leather being on the outside gives the
shoe a very rough appearance making
it undesirable for garrison duty or
dress parade. The present shoe prob
ably will be retained for garrison serv-
ice, as 1t has proved the most com
Portable footwear ever issued to the
army for use under ordinary condi-
tons.
The new shoe is much heavier than
the old one. The old shoe weighs two
pounds and three ounces while the new
one tips the scales ut three pounds and
seven ounces.

WATCH FOR INSECTS

When ants appear upon a plant, ex-
anime it carefully, for YOU may find
it affected with louise scale or other
insects.
If infested, sponge the leaves clean
with hot tobacco tea, to which has
been added enough soap to make suds.
70 get rid of the ants place layer
of chopped tobacco stems around the
plant, and sprinkle with boray.

SEARCHING FOR
 QUEEN 0E REUNION
COmander-in- Chief Brandon of Sons of Confederate Veterans will Journey Over State Searching for Ideal Women.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Going forth to search for a queen is not a modern custom, being associated only with the fairy tales of youths, yet that is ex- actly what w. N. Brandon of Little Rock, Commander-in- Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is pre- pairing to do. He will journey over Arkansas in the near future in 9 search for an ideal Arkansas woman who will be the queen of the Sons at the reunion of Confederates at Bir- mingham.
 It is the desire of Commander Bran don to bestow upon some Arkansas young woman the highest honor that can be extended by the Sons, the ap- pointment as Sponser-in- Chief for this organization. Commander Brandon states that he knows Arkansas has the most gracious, most vivacious and the most beautiful women, and any of them would suitably fill the appoint ment, but he wishes one who will simply dazzle the myriads of South erners who attend the Birmingham reunion.
 Commander Brandon is arranging a tour of the state, accompanied by members of his staff, with meetings of the Sons in the towns visited. The Sons will be instructed to invite the Daughters to attend these meetings, for Commander Brandon does not wish to miss an opportunity of select ing the one most suited for the place through her not becoming known to him.
 In this tour of the state, Command CT Brandon hopes to organize quite few new camps of Sons, as we'll as revive many of the sleeping ones, and interest in the work of the Sons, and instilling life into them, will be one of the chief factors to be considered in the appointment of the Sponser. This is expected to cause revival of in- terest in the work of the Sons, by the Daughters.

SECRETARY LANSING
 FORWARDS PROTEST
According to Statement of Sen atOr Stone, if Carranza is Not Capable to Protect Foreigners Intervention may Come.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Following is the text of Secretary Lansing's com munication to Consul Silliman at Queretaro, for presentation to Gener- al Carranza. "On January 10, c. R. Watson, chairman of the mine and smelter operators association at Chi huahua, and the general manager of the Cosihuirachic Mining company with fifteen of his associates all repre- tentative Americans while en route from Chihuahua to their mine at Cosihuirachic were taken off the train forty miles west of Chichuachua City by bands operating under the direc- tion of General Villa, stripped and de- liberately shot and killed.
 Ut is stated that these men were murdered because they were Ameri cans and were killed in accordance with the general policy recently an- nounced by Villa. This atrocious act was committed in territory announced in control of Carranza forces. The Villa bands roaming about in western Chihuahua publicly threaten Ameri- cans with death and destruction of their property. Following the ocupa- tion of Chihuahua by Obregon's fore es many Americans returned to Chi huahua to resume operations with the consent of the military authorities of the de factor government.
 Urgently bring the foregoing to the attention of General Carranza and request that he order immediate and efficient pursuit, capture and punish ment of the perpetrators of the das- tardly crime above mentioned. Also strongly urge immediate dispatch of adequate forces to the various mining camps in the state of Chihuahua re- quest to be informed of action taken"

AUCTION OF CATTLE FEA-
 TURF OF ASSOCIATION

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-A feature of the Arkansas Stock Growers conven- tion which is being held in this city, was the auction today of 50 yearlings Hereford cattle, number of short horns, Holsteins, and also a few high bred hogs. The most of the cattle had recently been brought from the range in Texas, and while being of fine breeding, was not exactly in show con- dition. The stock growers seemed to appreciate the value of the new stock and the bidding was spirited. Twice as much stock could have been sold, had it been offered for sale.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
 CONSIDERING PETITION

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-The Arkan- sas Railroad Commission has taken under advisement the petition of the Hartford coal operators to prevent the removal by the Midland Valley railroad of several switch tracks leading to mines in that vicinity. The railroad company protested against the order being issued, citing an order from Judge F. A. Youmans, of the Federal court in Fort Smith, in which the railroad is given permission to re- move the tracks. The Federal Judge stated in the order that the mines were not being operated, and there was no indication that they would be again at an early date, and as the rails were needed elsewhere, there could be no objection to their removal. The mine operators claim they ex- pect to reopen the mines within short time.

MARKET IS STEADY
 AFTER EARLY DROP

New York, Jan. 12.-Talk of in creasing exports and of an improve ment in shipping conditions gave the cotton market a steadier tone today and after an early decline to 12.47c for March, prices rallied to 12.55c for that position. The general list closed steady, net unchanged to points higher, with the more active old crop deliveries ruling about 1 to 1 points above last nights closing figures.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of points to an advance of 1 point, with the new crop relatively firp. Cables were disappointing and the active months soon eased off to net loss of about ? to points, with May selling at 12.69c, July at 12.93c and October at 12.59c.
 The market steadied shortly after the opening on rumors that the high freight rates prevailing from the Southwest to Europe was attracting vessels from Central and South Amer ican trade routes, and claims that the export domestic trade interests were among the buyers on the rally which carried May contracts up to 12.78c; July to 12:91c; October to 12:6Sc in the late trading. The close was at practically the best point of the day.

 The race for governor naturally overshadows the other contests, but some interesting races are on the card, in nearly all there being only two entries. In most of the counties there are local contests being staged, and these are engaging the usual amount of attention. More counties than usu- al have nominated their county tick cts on other dates than that for the uniform state primary.

Ambassador Jefferys came (o Little Rock to have dental work one for Mrs. Jeffreys, who accompan- led him, and the fact that it was nec- (ssary that this work be done in the United States led the official to re- hark of the great opportunities for professional men from this country

He said that one could be procured and installed for little or nothing. The matter was turned over to the building committee. McAl- lister also wanted the wages of the city electrician raised, stat ing that there was great deal of work to be done in connection with the alarm system and he thought that the present wage of SIo De month would be a poor recompense. He suggested S25 as about the right figure. Mayor Blake said the matter would be taken up during the week. The same councilman also wanted to hear the city eight hour law read for some reason not stated. He was informed that he could see the ordinance in the clerks office.
