Mrs. ]. ]. Shepherd, of the same COM
munity, was badly burned when an
automobile in which they were rid

Mexico.
Miss Rixey's neck was, broken and
her death was instant. Mrs. Shep-
herd suffered two broken ribs and
other serious bruises and hurts. She
was pinned beneath the car which
took fire and was destroyed. Mr.,
Shepherd was thrown clear over the
weckage when the car overturned
and suffered a severe injury to one
arm.
Mr.. Shepherd tried to lift the au-
mobile off his wife, but was COM
PEELED to shout for help. Passing
motorists came to his assistance.
After getting away from the machine
the gasoline tank exploded.
Both Miss Rixey and her sister

able Cause.
After the building became we'll
saturated with water and the
smoke had cleared enough to al
low the firemen to enter the diff
ferent rooms, it was found that
the fire had its origin in a small
clothes closet or store room at the
center of the building adjoining
the bath room, and was probably
caused thru spontaneous combus-
ton.
The damage done to the pre-
misses will probably reach several
hundred dollars and was caused
mostly from water.
Fire Hard to Extinguish.
The fire was a difficult one to
handle as it was hard to find and
had gathered headway, travelling
between the walls over most of
the building. The department is
deserving of credit for the COM
mendable manner in which they
accomplished their task.
Mr.. Plummer, who was away
on stampede for Tungsten at the
time stated on his return that the
property was insured for $12OC
and that he believed the loss
would run somewhere around
three of four hundred dollars.

IMMIGRATION AGENTS
 BEGIN ADVANCE WORK
Cotton Belt Loans Men to Ar kansas Profitable Farming Bureau-State's Future Lies in Building up Farms.

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-To organize counties along the Cotton Belt route, L. E. Saupe, immigration agent of the road, and P. T. Cole, agricultural agent, left Little Rock Thursday morning. The men have been lent to the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bu- reau of the Board of Commerce to do this advance work by the officials of the road who see that the future of Arkansas means the building up of the farms and urging of the farmer to feed himself.
 "We are willing to do anything in our power to make this campaign a success" said MT. Saupe before leav- ing Little Rock, "for we realize the value of such campaign. It will not only help the railroad business but every other business in the state. It is campaign which should receive the cooperation of all the business in- terest and farmers of the state."
 The cotton belt men will work through the Southern part of the state, from Pine Bluff to Texarkana this week and next week will work on the northern route of the railroad.
 P. T. Cole and w. R. Beattie, indus trial commissioner, will be speakers in the campaign and it is probable that w. c. Hall, Marril, Tex, market ing agent, may also be one of the speakers.

ALL ELIGIBLE MEN
 SUBJECT TO DRAFT
Compulsory Service in War Time Exists Without Further Legislation- Circular Made Public Yesterday.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Every able bodied male citizen of the United States between the ages of Is and 45 years is held liable for service in the National Guard in war time without further act of Congress, by War De- partment regulations for the govern ment of the guard issued under the national defense act. In circular prepared nearly two months ago, but made public only today, the militia bureau directs that where National Guard regiment is called out for war service, reserve training battalion to fill vacancies at the front shall be organized out of the National Guard reserve and by voluntary enlistment.
 "If for any reason," the order con- tinues, "there shall not be enough re- servists or enough voluntary enlist ments to organize or to keep the re- serve battalions at prescribed strength 8 sufficient number of the unorganized militia shall be drafted by the presi- dent to maintain such battalion or les ser unit at the prescribed strength"
 All Liable Within Age Limits.
 The language follows closely that of the national defense act, in which the unorganized militia is defined as in- cluding every able-bodied male citizen within the prescribed age limit or those who have declared their inten- tion of becoming citizens.

R. A. RODGERS APPOINTED
 FIELD AGENT IN MARKETING

Little Rock, Dec. 29.-R. A. Rodg- CTS of Gravette, has been appointed by President Futrall of the University of Arkansas as field agent in market ing for the College of Agriculture and the U. s. Office of Markets. The ap- pointment is effective Jan. 1, 1917.
