NINE BUILDINGS
 BURNED AT BIERNE
Business Section Swept, With Loss of S12,000-Wire Communication
 Cut.

Gurdon, April 22.-Eight store buildings and one residence burned late this afternoon in fire that swept the business section of Bierne, four miles south of here. The loss is esti- mated at $12,O00. Telephone and telegraphic service was cut off and details were learned here only when automobile parties returned from the fire.
 The blaze originated in the kitchen of the Robinson hotel and had gained much headway when discovered The hotel building and all contents were destroyed. Other buildings lost were those occupied by R. c. Biggadike's mercantile store and the postoffice, Mrs. Mary Armhurst's confectionery and John Overton's pool room. Also two vacant store buildings and the old building of the Penn Lumber Com pany and vacant residence were burned.
 The burned buildings comprised the business section of the town on the east side of the Iron Mountain rail- road.

TO SAVE PARCEL POST.

The senate of the United States, let us hope, will not fail to strike out the rider to the postoffice bill limiting the weight of parcels to 30 pounds and taking authority for improving the service from Postmaster General Burleson and his co-workers. Surely congress will not be willing to inter- fere with parcel post, now that it has in a very short time become one of the most useful and beneficial parts of the government service.
 The rider to the postoffice bill doubtless was not fully understood or the faithful representatives of farm CTS and small towns would not let it pass the house. The only way to de- feat the rider to the bill is to write your United States senator to see to it that Postmaster General Burleson and his subordinates be given an op- portunity for further improvement of parcel post.
 The volume of business from farm or to consumer and from merchant to consumer is enormous. It will in- crease rapidly as our roads are inn proved and rural routes are estab- lished and extended. To permit pri- vate carriers to injure parcel post would be a step backward that we as citizens cannot afford. The senate should know the sentiment of farmers and other business men in this mat ter.

ARKANSAS WANTS JEFFERSON HIGHWAY
Effort Being Made to Have Route Changed Run Through
 State-Starts at Miami, Fla,
 and Ends at San Diego, Calf.

r;ttle Rock. April 24.-Aetive steps have been taken by the Arkansas end tbe Jefferson Davis Memorial
 Hichway Commission to bring that tboroughfare through Arkansas, in-
 .4ood of having it constructed down ,long the Gulf coast. This highway,
 .s contemplated at present, starts at
 Mami Fla, and ends in San Diego, ralifornia. There is another route, tpown as the Southern Highway, which starts at Washington and ends m the same California city. The Ar
 hnsas commission desires to change inc names of the two routes, and give tbe one now designated as Southern, tbe name of Jefferson Davis, and give tte gulf route the title of Southern.
 The Arlusas Commission, com posed of Gen. J. K. B. Gibbons of Bauxite; Gen. '. Y. Cook of Bates rire; W. N Brandon and Mrs. Or bndo Halliburton of Little Rock, has held meeting in Little Rock in which the Commander cf the Confederate Veterans of Arkansas, and Command CT of the Sons of Veterans were made
 N-oficio members of the committee and asked to push resolutions through the reunions of Veterans and Sons at Birmingham, favoring the change of names.
 The Southern Highway, as now planned, and which the committee hopes to make the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, follows the march .d Sherman's Army from Washington to Atlanta, It then branches off and passes through Chattanooga, Nash Fille, Memphis, Little Rock, Texar- kama, and on into Texas. The com mttee claims this route will pass through more Southern states than .he present Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway, and one which will be far more picturesque. The route of the present Jefferson Davis highway is largely through a country which will not be improved if it is built, while ha citizens of the states which seek me route, a@raa to plant trees along A and erect monuments at all places ol interest The Arkansas road would nave an apple tree at each mile post, and other species of native trees would line the road through the entire state,

GERMANS EVACUATE
 NEWLY WON TRENCHES
COnstantinOple Says Enemy Put to Flight Near Bitlis-Big Guns Boom on Eastern Front Floods Interfere British.

Berlin, April 23.-CVia London. )- German forces were compelled to evacuate newly won trenches on the Langemarck-Y Ypres road on account of high floods, which made the con- solidation of the position impossible, according to the statement issued to- day by the German war office.
 A hand grenade attack by the Eng fish south of St. Eloi was repulsed. French trenches on the left bank of the Mouse, southeast of Haucourt and west of Dead Mans Hiu, were cap tured
 The statement follows;
 "Western theater: We were com pelled to evacuate our newly won trenches on the Langemarck- Ypres road on account of high floods, which made their consolidation impossible.
 An English hand grenade attack south of St. Eloi was repulsed Eng lish patrols which advanced in the night on both sides of the Bapaume- Albert High Road were repulsed.
 Near Traey-le-Val an enemy gas attack was unsuccessful. Clouds of gas were swept back in the direction of the French.
 "On the left bank of the Mouse. southeast of Haucourt and west of Dead Mans Hill, we have taken en- emy trenches. On the right bank in the Woevre plain and on the heights near Combres fighting was limited to very lively artillery engagements.
 Eastern theater: South of Nor ocz Lake an attack by Russian bat talion broke down before our ob- structions. The enemy suffered heavily. Elsewhere, with the eXcep- ton of local outbursts, there is noth- .ing to report.
 In the Balkans theater nothing of importance has occurred"

Arkansas is now getting the right kind of advertising throughout the United States in the fact that her next Governor has recently been se- lected President of the Southern So- biological Congress that has been in session in New Orleans. The organi- zation includes the entire South and deals with the social conditions of all classes and colors in this section of the country. It is a distinct honor to this state that the president of this organization, which includes iii its membership the most scholarly men in the South, should be a citi- zen of Arkansas and it is especially fortunate for the state that this citi- zen should be our next Governor. Let us hope that we get more of this kind of advertising. - Blytheville Herald.

E. Reece, of near Barfeld, came to Blytheville Tuesday morning with a coop of chickens and took home q check for $53.3S. He has 200 hens left which will come later. This beats buying bale" or working all sum- mer raising a corn crop. The check was so per cent profit, as the hens make their own living on the average farm. Horace Greeley's advice to go west is not to be compared with the advice to raise poultry" which the Courier has been giving for four years.-Blytheville Courier.

MANUFACTURERS WILL
 GIVE INFORMATION
Government to Carefully Study Equipment of Manufacturing Plants and Determine Extent of Possibilities.

Little Rock, April 24.-Manufac- turing plants of all descriptions in Arkansas will be called upon within the next few weeks and asked to fill out blanks which are so thorough that little, either about the condition of the concern or it's physical value, will be left unsaid. These blanks will then be forwarded to- Washington where they will be filed with the com mittee which has charge of the na- tional defense propaganda, and will become part of the scheme proposed by President Woodrow Wilson to in- sure perpetual peace by being always prepared for war
 The blanks will be handed the manufacturers by engineers of the state, who have volunteered to assist in gathering the information. They are working under the committee of five Arkansas engineers, one from each branch of engineering, appoint ed to look after the work in this state.
 It is the plan of the government to carefully study the equipment of each manufacturing plant and determine the full extent of the possibilities for manufacturing the maximum amount of war munitions. This will be fol- lowed by the government placing with each manufacturing plant an order for the manufacture of some article that can be made by it without the installation of additional machinery. The manufacturer will be allowed a small profit upon this, and required to devote some time annually to such manufacture. Then should war be de- clared the plant will know where to buy the necessary material, how to work it up, and how to transport it to the nearest concentration point.
 The machine shops of Arkansas will be sent small calibre guns and shells to bore and polish. The powder mills of the state will be asked to manufac- ture certain kinds of explosives which are in demand in times of war. The sulphuric acid plant of the Arkansas Fertilizer will also be asked to assist in making acids according to govern ment requirements. There are hun dreds of other commodities which can also be made in Arkansas plants, such  as cotton goods, gun stocks, automo- bile bodies, gun carriages, and the smelters and large machinery plants can do much heavier work.
 The United States is apparently de- termined to profit by Europe's unpre- paredness, and have manufacturing conditions well in hand at all times. This plan further will provide a sys- tenn of honor for men who stay in their places in the event of war, in- stead of rushing to the front, for the men at the trench cannot fight unless they have a sufficient amount of am munition. The mechanics will be asked to sign an agreement to remain at their work, and the manufacturers to turn out material at the same pro fit in war times, as in peace, and thus insure stability of trade conditions.

hours yesterday. allowing an intermis-

its most attractive feature was the

songs, including fragment OF ,ue
