MONEY FOR THE
 RIVERS IN STATE
Arkansas Will Fare Better Than Ever Helnyc ill Rivers and Harb0rs
 Bill; Red Included.

Washington, D. C. Feb. 10.-When the rivers and harbcrs bili is reported tt. the house it will carry more gener- ous appropriations for Arkansas riv- CTS than ever before. It is learned that practically every important item asked has been granted the Arkan- sas members. despite the fact that the en gineers acting upon the clause in the last rivers and harEors bill prac- tically recommended the abandon ment of all river improvement in Ar kansas. Among the items decided up- on in the committee today are For Arkansas river, $209,000; Ouachita river, $174,oO0; White, $3O,50O; Red, below Fulton, $55, ,o00 St. Francis and L'Anguille, $9,5OO; Cache, s3,000. The recommendations of the engineers for these projects were as follows: For Arkansas, $35,oOO; Ouachita, aband- onment of all work in Arkansas :; White, $9,O0O; Red, below Fulton, ab- anQOnmonC.
 Also. a re4examination will be or dered for the upper White river, with view to the completion of the lock and dam between Batesville and Cot ter. The Caraway bill for the canal ization of the St. Francis through the sunk land will be included and a pre- liminary survey ordered. It Is said other Arkansas projects will be ln- cluded befor the bill is completed.
 MT. Goodwin was heard today for the Red and Ouachita rivers and se- cured the inclusion of lock No. 7 on the Ouachita, near Champagnole, Un- ion county, although the engineers had recommended the abandonment Of this lock.

MUST QUIT EATING
 CR0p BEFORE MADE:
South Must Sop Time-honored Sys- tenn Of Economic Suicide,
 Says Fl. .. l5actjnqs

Atlanta, Ga special )-"Tne pee pie of the south must quit eating their cotton or other so-cailed cash crop before it is made if they ever expect to accumulate wealth and have the comforts and !uXUries of life due them," says H. C, Hastings, agricul- tural vice president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and q fore most authority on farm conditions in the southeast
 ''The south must stop forever it's timehonored system of economic sui- eide" says MT. Hastings. Advance steps were made last year toward a condition of farm independence in the Cotton Belt. They were forced steps, it is true, but they marked an advance just the same, and more bread and meat, more grain, forage and other food and feed stuffS were made in 1915 than ever before, with the result there are tens of thousands of farm CTS better off than in past years, despite short crops and business de- presslon.
 With higher cotton prices, it is going to be a great temptation to drop back into the old habit of put ting cotton, or whatever other cash crop one may be growing, in pawn for bread and meat. We are suffer ing today from the old system fore ed on us by conditions following the Civil war, necessary then, but unnec- essary now.
 Year after year we have stayed in the same old rut as a matter of habit. eating our crops, so to speak, before they were made, a financially suicidal policy for the farmer. each year put ting his nose little closer to the credit grindstone.
 If the south had not been so rich in natural resources, this system would have bankrupted us long ago. Whats the answer2 It is home pro- duction by each farmer of every dol lars worth Of food and grain supplies needed on his farm that it is possi- ble to grow on his own acres. This means good big homo gardens; hogs, chickens, cows and something to feed them on through the year."

MILK FAMINE FOR CHICAGO
IN CASE OF STRIkE

A dispatch from Chicago says that
only 10 per cent of the 1900 900
quarts of milk consumed in Chicago
daily would be available in the event
of a general strike unless the dairies
can solve the problem of motor truck
transportation, according to dairy au-
thorities.
That a motor truck famine probably
would be an early resultant in the
event of a railway strike became evil
dent today, when milk dealers and
other dealers and consumers of per-
ishable goods began bidding against
each other for the use of trains of
motor trucks.
Potato supplies in Chicago will be
virtually exhausted in 4S hours after
railway strike begins. A leading
dealer says that the city is almost
wholly dependent on current arrivals
by rail. which have averaged 35 to Sc
carloads a day.

MISSION SPENDS
AN IMMENSE sum

Seventeen million dollars in ten
years for missionary enterprises at
home and abroad is the record of the
Seventh-Day Adventists in North
America, according to the annual re-
port issued by the statistical secre-
tary, Mr. II. i. Rogers, of Washing
ton. d. c., which has just been re-
ceiyed by the members of the local
church. During 1915 the Adventists
Of North America gave S2.542, ,6S2.99
for various church enterprises, gain
OF $213,931.11 over 1914.
Adyentists throughout the world
gave during the nine years from 1906
to 1914, $20.100,550, and the sum con-
tributed in North America last year
would raise this to S22. ,236, but
the world contributions of the last
decade will be still further increased
when all the returns are in from for
eign fields. These are not yet avail
able, as war conditions cause some
delay in making complete compila-
tions for the entire world.
/ Secretary Rogers report shows that
the 1.-THE, or tenth of the income. paid
by the church members of North
America in 1915. amounted to 1881
5000, and that the offering for for
eign missions known as the 20-cents-
a-week fund, totaled S692, ,477.71. More
than 5000 new members were added
to the Adventist churches in America
last year.
| The religious statistics compiled
for the Laymen's Missionary Conven-
lion held in Los Angeles March /.
show that in California Seventh-Day
Adventists led all other Protestant
denominations in per capita contri-
buttons in 1915. the amount being an
average of s30.61 for the year for
every Adventist in the state.

COYOTE ATTACKS
A FALLON BABY

Last Saturday morning a coyote at
tackled the little eighteen months old
child of Gottleib Frisch, who resides
on the Dudley ranch on Old River,
about sixteen miles from Fallon, says
the Fallon Standard.
The children were playing on the
porch with their doll babies when the
animal approached and attacked the
youngest child, biting it several times
about the head. The older child rush
ed into the house and informed the
mother who was Mortified on hurry
ing to the scene to find the brute
dragging her little one away. So per-
sistent was the crazed animal that 1t
submitted to being kicked several
times in the ribs before it would re-
lease its hold on the child Even then
it showed no fear but squatted a few
feet away awaiting another chance
to return to the attack.
The animal was killed and the en-
tire body sent to the University labo-
ratory for examination for rabies. It
can hardly be doubted that the animal
was affected, as its actions were en-
tirely foreign to the well-known hab-
its of the species.
The parents are awaiting the re-
suits of the examination and should
it develop that the coyote was affected
with rabies they will take the child
to Reno to take the Pasteur treat
ment. Although the teeth marks are
plainly visible on the little ones face
and neck. unless rabies are present
it will otherwise suffer no inconven-
fence from its horrible experience.

Mr.. Ripley asserted that the rail-
roads can now see no hope OF set
tlement before Labor Day and are
making every preparation for eventu-
alities.
Practically every important rail-
road in the country gave notice of
embargoes or was preparing to give
them. They affect perishable freight
and livestock, which at present con
stitutes about one-third the freight
traffic on most western roads, and
passengers. Agents everywhere Were
instructed to warn passengers OF
probable delays and not to accept any
perishable freight which could not be
normally delivered before September
