APPEAL FOR HELP
 FOR THE GERMANS

New York, Nov. 2S.-A Thanksgiv- ing week appeal for a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of Germany, who have been made in nocent victims of the war, has gone out from the American relic commit tee. This is naccOrd with the proc lamation of President Wilson, in designating the annual Thanksgiving, in which he calls attention to the Suf- ferings and urgent need of the people of Europe, who have been made to feel the burden of the war. It is the purposes to give this fund to Ambas- sador Gerard to take hack to his post in Berlin, for him to distribute to the million widows and orphans of Ger many. through the American consuls and the other suitable agencies.
 "There is real need in Germany for this work" said Ambassador Gerard, and in distributing the money, shall be careful to let the German public know from whom it comes. Amerl- cans have sent more money to other nations than to Germany, but l hope the Germans will come to realize that the people of America sympathize with the sufferings and needs of the widows and orphans everywhere, and are willing to amelorate such condl- tions wherever found.'
 If am able to go back to Germany taking substantial sum of money I do not know of anything better tC aid relations between this country and Germany, and when the Germans sec that the fund has been raised by a committee distinctly American. it can not but make most excellent impress sion upon the people there"
 Checks and money orders intended for this relief may be sent to the Treasurer of the American Relief Committee. John D. Crimmins, 1i Park Row, New York, x. Y.

Why No Other Coffee Has
 a Flavor Like This
Two Secrets Account for It.

When you open a package of French Market Coffee, you exclaim What a wonderful coffee aroma!" As you drink French Market you say "What truly delightful favor!"
 There are two coffee secrets back of it all-secrets that have been kept for over a hundred years-the despair of those who have ever tried to initiate French Market quality.
 The first is the old secret blend of famous coffees from the worlds fore most coffee countries. This famous blend has never been successfully im- itated. -a..
 The second is the unique grinding and roasting process which develops that remarkable goodness for which French Market Coffee has been so famous for over 8 century.
 All the blending, roasting and grinding take place on one main floor in a vast courtyard-just as was done at the Old French Market.
 Send 10 cents for 12-cup sample and booklet of the interesting Story of Old French Market. We will also send names of grocers in your town who sell French Market Coffee.

EIGHT JURYMEN WOULD GXONfRATE
 MRS. l. F. LONG
Mistrial Ensues in Case of Attorneys Wife Who
 Shot w. l.. Jones.

Standing eight to four for acquittal, the jury in the case of Mrs. I. F. Long, charged with shooting with intent to o'clock by Judge w. B. Sorrells, and a mistrial entered. The jury had de- liberated since o'clock. J. R. Par sons stated in response to questions from Judge Sorrells how the jury was numerically divided. and that there seemed no probability of agreement. Mr. Parsons said at the beginning the jury was seven to five. Mrs. Long was not in the court room when the jury reported. She has been at liberty under bond for $2,500.
 The charge against Mrs. Long, who is the wife of an attorney, grew out of an incident taking place on May Is, 1916, when she shot and wound ed w. l.. Jones. Mrs. Long used a pistol firing 22 calibre bullet. At the trial yesterday, she testified that Jones had frequently annoyed her by unwelcome attentions; that once he came upon the porch of her home and sought to gain entrance; that she told him he was q "cur," and he should go away; that he insisted she open the door, and left only. when she ran toward the rear of the house. Mrs. Long testified that afterward he would "make signs at her." and she became so wrought up that she could stand it no longer. She neither de- nied nor admitted shooting Jones, say ing she was so angry she could not re- member, but recalled she had the pis- tol in her hand afterward, and suppos- ed she must have shot him."
 Jones denied that he had ever in- suited Mrs. Long or had annoyed her in any way.
 The jury in the case was composed of J. R. Parsons, J. R. Freeman, s. F.. Baxter, A. R. Craig, A. J. Guenther, A. c. Mayberry, H. c. Hurt, Y. N. Harper, J. H. Steck, J. H. Mann, dr., J. o, Evatt and w. L. Pendergrass.
 MT. Pendergrass was summoned as a talesman just before his lunch hour, and went immediately to the court house. When discharged, he declared he was famished, and hurried home ward.
 Two Years for Overstreet.
 Ali Overstreet was convicted of a charge of grand larceny, growing out of the theft of a COW. and sentenced by jury to two years Imprisonment.
 Eddie Simple pleaded guilty to a charge of gaming. and was sentenced to pay a fine of $1Q.
 The case against Earl Carter, in- dicted on a charge of selling liquor, was continued for the term. Carter is reported as rapidly recovering from four bullet wounds inflicted re- gently by Jim Allen, the shooting oc- curing at the corner of Main and Sec ond, during the early evening, when the streets were filled with pedes- trians.

STATE OFFICERS CONSIDER THEIR
 FUTURE WORK
Earl Hodges to Enter Insur ance Business; Hays will
 Practice Law
(By Clio HarpaT).


 Little Rock, Nov 2S.zAAs the tiiue for the changes to be made in state offices approaches, those who are about to retire are making other ar engagements for their future.
 It is announced that Dr. M. F. Dickinson, who retires as State Audi tor, will return to Greene county ana resume the practice of medicine.
 Earle w. Hodges, who will retire as secretary of tsate, has formel a partnership with w. Hix Mallory in the life insurance business.
 Governor Hays has not definitely announced his plans, but it is under stood that he will remaln in Little Rock and engage in the practice of law.
 George B. Cook, who retires from the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction after six years service, will remain ill Little Rock, but his plans for the future have not be an- nounced.
 The contest for the speakership in the next house is becoming a little warm. The legislature will be in ses- sion almost before we are aware. There is a larger field of aspirants for savel honors than usual, and it is not likely there will be much thinning out until the caucnses are opened the week preceding the convening of the general assembly. In the meantime other lightning rods may be raised in the hope that the lightning will strike.
 Avowed candidates for the speaker ship include Lee Cazort. w. B. Brooks, Jo Johnson, T. s. Osborne, Brooks Norfleet. U. A. Gentry, and J. D.. Doyle, while receptive candidates are Louis Josephs, Ben McFerrin, and John A. Riggs. Those whose name are omitted from this list are privileged to add them without extra cost.
 In the senate there is an even larger field, in proportion, and il has not progressed far enough to hazard guess as to the leader-in fact, it is rather unsafe plan to make any pre- dictions in such cases, and those who profess to know just what is going to happen should be required to tak:t cut prophets license.

JEWS SUCCEED AS
 FARMERS IN U. S..

New York, Nov. 2S.-lnterestins in- formation concerning the growth of the movement back to the farms on the part of Jewish citizens, and especially immigrants, is contained in the reports to be presented to the eighth annual convention of the Fed eration of Jewish Farmers of Ameri- ca. which met in this city today and will continue is session until Friday.
 The reports show that the Jewish immigrant, contrary to the prevailing belief that he hugs the Atlantic sea- board, is inclined, if given a chance to move more and more to the farm lands. Jewish farmers are now found in every state of the union.
 A few years ago there were only four Jewish farmers organizations Now the federation embraces more than fifty such organizations. The federation issues a, monthly agricul- tural paper. which is the only agri- cultural paper in the world published in Yiddish. It treats O. timely asri- cultural topics, and its staff consists of agricultural experts. It is widely read. its subscribers being scattered not only through the United States, but in fourteen different countries.
 Another feature of the federation's $ educational work is the itinerant in struction carried on through the lec- ture tours. The federation also grants free short-course scholarship in the agricultural college to sons and daughters of Jewish farmers, to oil fhn,, iIna of b;lities of farming and prepare them for greater usefulness on their home farms.
