s. VI. JORDAN IN CHAUTAUQUA
Farmers Institute Lecturer Spends
Vacation on Chautauqua Circuit.

| Samuel NJ Jordan, farmers institute
lecturer of the State Board of Agri-
culture, is taking his vacation this
month and is spending it largely in
chautauqua work in Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa
| Mr.. Jordan has lectured before
many audiences and on many differ
ent topics. On the chautauqua plat
form he has delivered lectures at En-
poria, Parsons, Pittsburg, Fort Scott
and Independence, Kansas; King City,
Clinton. Maysville. Gallatin, Spring
field, Monett, Higginsville, Windsor,
Maryville, Columbia and Albany, Mis-
souri,, and at Sloan Springs, Arkan-
sas.
Community effort is emphasized by
Mr.. Jordan in all his speeches 1.-The
farmers" he says, "are the only un-
organized factor in national econom-
les, and they never can be organized
like trade union, but they can and
will be practically organized and get
all the benefits of organization when
they join in community efforts, which
is all the organization they need"
Mr.. Jordan has led in many move
ments to stamp out hog cholera. His
efforts were instrumental in bring
ing a United States government sta
ton to Pettis County, Mo-. where more
than $4,000 worth of veterinary serv-
ice was rendered Pettis County farm
ers, and at no cost to the farmers.
One of the pioneer farm advisers in |
the West, Mr.. Jordan has demonstrat- !
ed to the farmers that they can raise /
splendid alfalfa where they once de-
clared it could not be grown He is .
showing them how legume crops can /
be grown with corn to better the soil
and to increase the crop.
Mr.. Jordan will resume his work
with the State Board of Agriculture
about September Is.

PHILADELPHIA POLICE GET CAR
Combination Motorcycle and Touring
Car Used i'm First Aid.

TAR sea In FIRST A1d.
The speed and economy of a mo-
tor-cycle and carrying capacity
practically equal to that of a five
passenger car have been combined in
an exceedingly useful vehicle which
was recently designed and built under
the direction of two Philadelphia po-
lice officers. To a motorcycle has
been added a heavily built sidecar
having a seat. with a back that will
accommodate two persons; this gives
the car seats for four. counting the
one behind the driver The equipment
includes a pulmOtOr. two chemical fire
eXtinguishers that are fastened to the
rear of the sidecar. a first-aid outfit,
stretcher, and a rubber pillow. In
an emergency person on a stretcher
can be carried on the platform which
extends under the side seat: a pris-
oner can be carried in a similar way.
This vehicle can be operated and
much cheaper than regu-
lar patrol wagons. either horse-drawn
or motor. 1t is capable of a speed
of so miles per hour. The Quickness
with which it can be gotten under way
and the ease with which it can be
driven through a thrOng make it es-
pecially suited for work in such an
emergency as a fire. riot, or the like

1915 COSTS
 SCHOOLS SUM OF $25,OO0

Little Rock, Sept. 6.-The school fund this year lost $25,00O on account of the fact that the legislature of 1915 made no provision for the pay ment of the interest on the $1,300, ,000 bonds held by the state for the schools. In 1913 the sinking fund of one-eighth mill was discontinued, but there was enough left in the fund to pay the in- terest of 1914 and 1915 and $3,000 on the University bonds and $S,400 on the common school bonds this year The state holds $116,000 on behalf of the University, and unless the interest is paid the state forfeits the annual allotment from the Morrell fund, amounting to $40,00O. The whole subject of investing the bonds is to be investigated by special commit tee of the state board of education, and some action by the next legisla- ture will be imperative.

ARKANSAS TREASURY PARTS
 WITH MILLION ACTUAL CASH

Little Rock, Sept. 6-More than one million dollars in actual cash was paid out of the state treasury Tuesday, principally on the school fund, through local banks, to the account of the var ious counties. A large amount was also paid out on Confederate pensions. The total amount apportioned for the schools was $1,315,1 5,198.0S, among 647,- S61 children, or S2.03 per capita. The enumeration this year shows a de- crease of 1928 over that of last year, due to the heavy decrease in the Pu- laski county enumeration. It has been charged that the rolls have been padded here for several years.

ly to be party issue, since the Re- publicans are in favor of it, but there
 are Democrats who question the wis.,
 dom of the law. Some prominent
 Democrats have even gone so far as
 to announce that they will favor the
 repeal of the act, and the return to
 the old system of holding the state election in September. The success of the first election, and the absence of trouble of any kind will go far in popularizing the new order of things. The sentiment for consolidation of elections had been growing in the state for some years, and the princi- pal opposition came from those who considered it unwise to bring federal |control into charge of state elections.

EARLY ADVANCE
 DOES NOT STAND
Sharp Reactions Bring Prices F to 24 Points DOwn-Easier Ruling in New Orleans Con- tributed to Set Back.

New York, Sept 5.-An early ad- vance was followed by sharp reac- tions in the cotton market today, with December selling off from 1623c to 15.85c and closing at 15.88c. The general list closed easy at a net de- cline of 12 to "A points.
 The opening was steady at a de- cline of point on October, but gen. erally to 9 points higher in response to the relative steadiness in Liver pool over the local holidays. Many of the traders who had taken profits on long contracts before Labor Day were credited with rebuying and there was a moderate demand from houses with Liverpool connections, as prices worked up to 16.15c for October and 16.30c for January.
 There seemed to be some Southern hedge selling, however, while the de- tailed weather reports showing good rains in Oklahoma over Sunday tend ed to check the buying and when prices turned easier the volume of realizing grew heavier. An easier ruling in New Orleans and New Or leans selling here contributed to the set back, which carried October con- tracts off to 15.69c for January to 15.93c in the late trading, or about 35 to 38 points under the high level of the morning. The close was a shade up from the lowest on covering.
 Cotton closed easy.

BRITISH INCREASE
 GAINS ON THE SOMME
Have Pushed Forward in Direc- tiOn of GuillemOnt-British Now Hold German Second Line Over Wide Area.

London, Sept. 5.-British troops in battles last night in the region of the River Somme, in France, increased their gains in the neighborhood of Guillemont, says the British official statement issued this afternoon.
 The British forces pushed forward to 1,500 yards east of Guillemont Vil- lage and secured hold on Leuze Wood
 Farther south a strong Gereman system of defense on front of 5000 feet around Falfemont Farm was captured.
 The official announcement says that the fighting on the Somme since Sept. 3 has resulted in the capture by the British of the whole of the remaining German second line of defenses on the battle front from Mouquet Farm to the point where the British line joins the French.
 The official statement says:
 During the night we increased our gains in the neighborhood of Guile mont. In spite of the enemy's stub born resistance and an unceasing de- luge of rain, our troops pushed for ward to 1,500 yards east of Guile mont Village and have obtained a footing in Leuze Wood.
 Second Line Taken
 Further south, after severe fight ing, the whole enemy's strong system of defense on front of LOGO yards in and around Falfemont has fallen to our hands.
 Fighting since Sept. has thus re- suited in the capture of the whole re- maining enemy's second line Of de- fense on the battle front from Mou- quet Farm to our point of junction with the French.
 "Prisoners continue to be brought in and the total up to last night, since Sept. 8, exceeds 1000 men.
 Fighting in Ginchy continues.
 During the day of Sept. hostile aircraft showed great activity and fighting in the air was continuous. The enemy's aircraft were forced 10 remain some miles in the rear of their own lines and entirely failed to inter- rupt the work of our machines. On two separate occasions our aeroplanes opened fire on the enemy's troops on the ground. As the result of many combats, three hostile machines were brought down in damaged condition. One of our aeroplanes destroyed a hostile kite balloon. Two of our ma chimes are missing

Ciem's was not the only troubled
heat on the Hill. At The Ffrs Mrs.
Lansing moved restlessly from room
to room and stopped often to read and
re-read a crumpled note-Gerry's note
TO Alix
Alix was still in town Mrs Ian
sing had written to her and then wired.
Alix replied telling her not to come,
that she wished to be alone For hours
at time Mrs. Lansing replaced the
nurse at Gerry. juniors, side He
helped her. She felt that he could help
Alix.
She was almost glad when he devel-
oped some tritiing ailment becoming
to his years. She wired again and this
time Alix came, frightened. Alx was
like wilted flower, hut she braced
herself until Gerry. junior. recovered
into his healthy self. Then she dropped
once more and refused to be com
forted.
IL it had not been for Alan. Alix'
trouble would have cast gloom over
the rest of Red Hill. but il was known
that Alan had sought out Mrs. Ian
sing and told her that not even he
knew just how Gerry's battle stood.
but that he did know that there was n
battle and that Gerry would surely
come back as soon as he had fought
his way clear.
So the Hill in general went almost
untroubled on its way trying to forget
that ii was still awaiting a fulfillment.

comfort from the thought that hope
WAS but deferred. Her heart was sick.
her faith weak, but hope still lived.
She cIung through the long days to
Gerry, Junior, and waited.

young hearts amounted to a din, but

softly. "some other drink. l mean?"
Kemp's quick eye roved over the
group. He saw that nobody was TAX
ing anything but tea and at the same
time he noted gratefully that nobody
was watching him. The judge and
J. Y. were talking to each other.

"What for?" drawled Kemp.

into a taxi before he could further pro-

soon allayed. Kemp was duly present
