As an argument in favor of the sug-
gested scheme for a great cOmpre-
hensive exploration Of the Pacific
ocean made by Prof. w. M. Thomas,
the statement is made that there is
an area in the great body of water
twice rs great as the United States
which has only once been traversed
by a single line of sounding and at
intervals Of 250 miles, and there are
many instances of the existence of
areas as great as that Of this country
which remain entirely unfathOmed.
The biology, geology and meteorOlOgy
of this district are in an equally neg
lected state, while the anthropOlOgy Of
the Pacific islands bristles with
number of unsOlved problems. The
project is a very costly one, so plans
for the exploration are still in an in
definite shape and its realization prob
ably very remote.

SIMPLY WOULDN'T SCRUB OUT
AS 1t Happened, There Was a Reason
Why Dark Spot Was Impervious
to Soap and Water.

1t is just as well there has been no
particular Outcry against extravaganza
in the use of scrubbing brushes, else
one good lady would have Caught it,
She was swilling the flags whilst two
of the neighbors stood near keeping
up a conversation. This was so in
teresting that neither of them noticed
anything particular when the lady Of
the broom, after using it pretty free
ly in a particular place, put it on one
side and fetched a scrubbing brush
and soap. Down she went on her
knees, and gave the refractory pave
ment a good scrub and a swill.
'Well," she exclaimed, II can't tell
what's the matter with this flag. I've
brOOmed it and scrubbed it, and there's
a dark patch still that l can't get off.
Just have a look"
Thus addressed, her neighbor bent
nearer, but the dark patch moved also.
1t was the shadow of her head that
the industrious lady had been trying
to wash away.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

SPLENDID BARGAIN FOR JOEL
Citizens Committee Had Good Idea,
but 1t Didn't Work Out as They
Had Planned 1t.

The Shiftless owner of a worthless
old horse, Joel Turner, had been in
the habit Of feeding the animal from
the cribs of his more enterprising
neighbOrs, until the patience of his
victims was completely exhausted.
They had caught him in the act of
helping himself to corn a number of
times, and so there was plenty of
evidence to convict him; but on ac-
count of his family and his vindictive
disposition, no one wanted to prose-
cute him.
One day, when Joel's neighbors
were discussing the situation, someone
suggested that it would be an act of
mercy-wfdch would also solve their
problem-if they bought the old horse
and put it out of its misery.
This suggestion the conference
adopted. They subscribed a purse of
$40, and sent a committee of one to
buy the horse.
Here the plan was threatened with
failure. The committee reported that
Joel did not want to sell.
After a few days, Jesse Winfield,
who thought himself something of
diplomat, undertook to negotiate the
sale, and to his surprise found Joel
not only willing but anxious to sell the
horse.
"That," said Jesse, in a congratula.
tory tone, as he handed over the ten
dollars, twas a good deal for you.
You'll get lots more good out Of the
ten dollars than you would out of the
old horse"
That's right" assented Joel. "T
know where 1 can buy team for ten
dollars. S."-YouthS Companion.

Austria is reviving the friendliness
she once felt for citizens Of the United
States. She has begun to think seri-
ously of things. She remembers that
before the war her people in this coun-
try shipped back home every year
about S15O,OOO,OOO of good American
money. Austria is going to need this
money when peace comes again and
she wants to be on the very best foot
ing possible with us. That amount.
will go quite a way toward setting her
people up in business again.

ELECTION STRAWS

A straw better than fence-rail VIII
&4show how the wind blows. So far
all the "straws" show the popular wind
plainly setting Hughesward.
Straw No. 1.
The Maine election, which went over
whelming for the Republicans Cover
nor, Congressman, Senator everything!
A complete reversal of Wilson's victory
there in 1872.
Straw No g.
The New York Herald's $1,000 "straw
vote" points to the election of
: Hughes anyway you analyse it. The
Herald is Democratic, if not indepen-
dent-certainly, it is not Republican
journal.
Straw No. 8.
The professional betting fraternity,
who have in former years made many
remarkably correct election progresses
are placing their money two to one on
Wilson.
Straw No 4.
The most significant one of all, and
one that surely presages Mr.. Wilson's
defeat, New Jersey, his own state,
repudiates his pet candidate for U. s.
Senator, Wescott who twice put Mr..
Wilson's name in nomination at the
Democratic National Conventions.
MARITIME, whom Wilson opposed openly
and vigorously, beat Wescott badly, not
by small majority, but showed him
under in popular avalanche of votes
over two to one. If his own state,
New Jersey, where he won his guber-
material triumph, serves him thus, what
may not be expected of the other states
that are under no ''favorite' son" in
fuence! Yes, these little Waterloos |
clearly paint to the bigger and final
Wilson Waterloo on November 7th.

The subject Of stocking the Adiron-
dacks with elk is under consideration
by federal experts and New York state
authorities. It would make hunting
more exciting to the sportsmen Of the

of big game is found only in regions
which are generally inaccessible to
those who cannot spare much time for
the sport.

NAMES ATTORNEYS
TO DEFEND STATE

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-J. R. Crock
er, late chief deputy in the office of
Secretary of State Hodges, has re-
turned to his home at Ozark to en-
gage in the practice of law. Before
his departure, Governor Hays ap-
pointed him special counsel for the
purpose of collecting delinquent fran
chise tax, of which there is several
thousand dollars. In some instances
the delinquencies extend back to 1907.
There are pending in the Pulaski
circuit court suits affecting the State
Nurse and Veterinary Boards and
the State Game Commission. Attor-
ney General Davis has requested as
sistance in looking after these cases,
and for this purpose Governor Hays
has appointed j M. Futrell and d. G.
Beauchamp of Paragould, and Lee
Miles of Little Rock as special coun-
sci. The suits seek to tie up the funds
for these various purposes on the
ground that no appropriation was
made by direct statute for their ex-
penditure. 1t is the contention of the
state that the acts creating the vari-
Gus boards and commissions provide
for the disposal of the funds without
further appropriation.

MAPS FOR CONWAY

County Surveyor B. G. Wilson is at
work on two new large maps of
Faulkner county, which he hopes to
have complete within the next 60
days. One of the maps will show the
boundaries of all the school districts
in the county and will be of great val
ue, as so many changes have been
made in these districts in recent years
that doubt exists as to the boundary
lines in many instances. The other
map, which will be drawn on a scale
of one and one-half inches to the mile,
will show all political township lines,
roads, streams, villages, etc. 1t will
also be valuable acquisition to the
county, as no map of the county has
been prepared since the one now in
the Office of the county clerk, which
was drawn by J. H. Hartje in 1900.

COTTON EMBARGO
soon DISAPPEARS
FREIGHT AGAIN ACCEPTED
ACTION WHICH THREATENED
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
FINALLY REVOKED.

Little Rock, Jan 2O.-Like one of
Arkansas spells of winter, the threat
ened embargo on cotton and other
shipments to eastern points, which
had serious aspects Wednesday, blew
over in short time. The embargo
lasted but a few hours before it be-
gan to thaw out and railroads began
to accept freight.
After receiving notice on Tuesday
that eastern railroads would accept
no freight not perishable or intended
Tor human consumption, the A rkansas
trunk lines notified the big shippers
OF Arkansas that they would not ac-
cept freight for New York or eastern
points. This would shut up every bit
OF cotton in the state, and Immediate
ly the cotton factors began to see ruin
staring them in the face. There were
the mills in New England begging
for cotton, and agreeing to unload
cars upon the day of arrival, and the
cotton growers and commission men
who had spot cotton, on the other
Both would be seriously affected by
the refusal of the railroads to handle
cotton.
Practically all banks of Arkansas
have large sums loaned on cotton and
there wa sa feeling of unrest for fear
the price would slump, and the banks
their loans. The cotton
firms of Little Rock and other centers
became real busy and started flood
of kilograms to the interstate COM
merce commission and to Arkansas
at Washington, ask
ing that the railroads be forced to
accept all cotton offered to them.
On Wednesday morning some of
the short line roads in Arkansas be-
gan to accept bills of lading for cot
ton, and before night one or two
trunk lines had followed their exam
pie. All lines are expected to receive
cotton before the end of Thursday.
This is all based on reports that sew
eral of the large eastern railroads
are to lift their embargo within the
next "a hours, and fairly prompt ser
vice is promised
The congestion of freight in the
east is due to the heavy export ship
ments, which cannot be moved from
New York. Railroads of Pennsyl-
vania, New York, and New Jersey,
have all their tracks filled with load
ed cars which are billed to New York
for transportation to Europe. Ships
are unattainable to carry this abroad,
because all the ships are in use as
transports, or the greater part of
them. Railroad men state that the
eastern roads will not accept freight
even on their own lines, unless it is
for human consumption Over 50,-
600 cars are tied up on the tracks
about New York The railroads
must pay As cents per day for each
of these cars up to thirty days and
if they are not returned to their
home road in that time the penalty
is increased to 81 per day.
