URGING c. B. STEVENS TO RUN
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Friends of Charles B. Stevens are
urging him to run independently for
the first precinct place on the board Of
county commissioners. 1t is argued
that the first precinct, which includes
the city of FL Paso and the upper val
ley, needs a representative on the
board who is familiar with the needs
Of the precinct, not tied up with In
terests in other precincts and a man
who would give the time and attention
10 the job necessary to insure real
representation on the board. Mr..
stevens is inclined to think he ought
not 10 take on new responsibilities, but

iaction, are urging him to allow his

for the work. The statement has been made that the farmers of Ar kansas, who have this year secured $120, ,000 for their cotton crop, are $30, 100000 behind on their supply of food and feed stuffs. The campaign will seek to induce the farmer to sup ply this need for next year, but will not advocate the reduction of cotton acreage. It will advocate the raising of enough food and feed stuffs for home consumption, and then devote their remaining acreage to the rais- ing of an early maturing, long staple cotton. There is a general opposition to half-and-half cotton, which is said to be only little better than linters.
 Farmers will be advised not to grow
 this class of cotton, and the cotton dealers themselves will make a fight
 against it.

MAYOR WILL EN-
 FORGE ORDINANCES
If Violated, No License Will Be
 lssued-MayOr Taylor Sum-
 mOned Before Grand Jury Cooperate Suppress Gambling.

Little Rock, Dec. S.-The city ordi- nances for the regulation of pool and billiard rooms are to be strictly en- forced. If there are any violations, no license will be issued to the of lending proprietors, and they will fur ther be prosecuted if the nature of their offense is such as to make them amenable to the law.
 All this was made clear to forty of the poolroom proprietors who were ordered to the city hall Thursday af- ternoon, to appear before the mayor and police committee of the city coun- cil.
 Mayor C. E. Taylor told them that he had been summoned before the grand jury, and advised that they are desirous of cooperating with the city authorities in any effort that may be made for the suppression of petit gambling and other violations of the law in the pool rooms. The mayor informed them emphatically that vio- lations of the strict regulations which have been provided will not be toler- ated, and that the city ordinances must be complied with to the letter. There have been complaints, said he, of minors being allowed to play and loaf in the pool rooms, that Kelley pool is played in many of the places, and that in some instances the law is not strictly observed relative to the placing of Instructions in pool rooms that will not permit a clear vision of the rooms from the sidewalk in front.
 Mayor Taylor, who was elected on a platform opposed to wide-open town, publicly asserts that he pro- poses to see that there is general cleanup in all particulars where he may find that there is anything being permitted not in accordance with the law. "The citizens of Little Rock, by handsome majority" said the mayor on the night of the electios, "have- de- clared that they are in favor of con- tinuaiton of an administration of law enforcement, and I wish to assure them, here and now, that we have just commenced to cleanup"

U0TT IS ADVOCATE
 FOR COMPULSION
chief of Army Staff General Scott Came Out Flat for Uni
 yersaI TrainingDeclared Sys- tom Base of Worlds Republics.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Major Gen 70, Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of +hp army, in his annual report to the ,ocretary of war today, came out aot-footed for compulsory service and universal training.
 aThe volunteer system Tn this country." the report stated, "should be relegated to the past. There IS no reason why one woman's son should co out and defesd or be trained to de- fond another woman and her son who refuses to take training or give ser vice. The only democratic method is for every man in his youth to become trained in order that he may render efficient service if called upon in war
 While no direct criticism of the national guard is contaised in the re- port, General Scott expressed the view that the system is inadequate for the military defense of the country.
 In defense of his advocacy of uni ersal training, General Scott said:
 Universal military training has been the cornerstone upon which has been built every republic in the his- tory of the world and it's abandon ment the sign of decline and oblitera- tion This fact was fully recognized by the makers of our constitution and evidenced in our early laws"
 The report deplores the fact that the regular army, in spite of it's brilliant record, is held in low esteem by large element in the country, that some states have found it neces- ssry to pass laws making it an of iense to show disrespect to the Amer can uniform.
 The chief of staff advocates per iOd of training for all youths men tally and physically fit, between the ages of IS and 21 years, for which they would receive no pay, but would have all expenses paid.
