WILSON KEEPS OWN COUNSEL
ON PEACE MOVES

Washington, Jan. 5. - With the
door on peace believed to be swing
ing uncertainty, deep annoyance was
expressed in official circles today at
what was regarded as Teutonic prop
uganda designed to influence this
governments next move.
In the last three days there has
been much said about what this gov
eminent proposes to do as its next
step.
President Wilson apd Sec'y Ian
sing have said nothing about it what
ever. They still are acting in sec
recy.
The president, admitting that he
does not-yet know what action he
will take, has told no one, with the
possible exception of Col. House,
what is in his mind. "
So critical does the president feel
the peace situation to be that it is
considered unlikely he will discuss it
even with members of the cabinet
today at the regular meeting.

"BETTINA LOVED A SOLDIER"

Bettina was immensely wealthy, marriageable, and had at her heels horde of impoverished French noblemen who sought her fortune to square their accounts and give them fresh start in Parisian night life. Being an American girl of the kind who knows thing or two, Bettina declined to turn herself and her mon yover to the adventurers. When the girl finally did fall in love it was with a bashful private in the French cavalry The refreshing and delight ful story of how Bettina made the coy youth understand will be illus trated in Bluebird photoplays at the Grand theatre Saturday night with Louise Lovley playing Bettina in "Bettina Loved Soldier" feature based on Ludivoc Halevy's famous novel, L'Abbe Constantin. Francelia Ellington will play the role of Bet tina's sister-both girls so beautiful that the French cavalryman was utterly unable to decide as to which he thought the prettier.

Fl PASO SCHOOL BAND
 VISITS STATE CAPITOL
Supt. Hubbard Writes of Enjoyable Visit by Boys of His Pro-
 gressive School.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l am writing you little about the visit our high school band made to the state capitol. Our boys are very grateful to Dr. H. B. Hardy, repre- sentative from Faulkner. Dr. Har- dy has the faculty of taking hold of things at the right time. He piloted the Elpaso high school band into the governors office where the boys played and were received by the governor. The senate, and in fact all the departments showed us great courtesy and paid our school the highest possible honors 1 am glad and our boys are extremely happy for their visit to the capitol last We'd nesday.
 The object of the visit was to study civil government at short range, and to show every country boy in Arkan- sas that there is an opportunity for him. Our school is in the poorest district in Arkansas yet we have the highest country school in the south. The honors we have received can be had by every boy in the state. I want you to write story to the country boys in Faulkner county, and tell them that what his been done is to show them that they can achieve like success. That it does not take money so much as grit We are talking profitable farming, consolil dation and state aid, but must change our course of study for the rural school and I am in favor of having directors institutes one week as we'll as teachers institutes. This must come in order to have a new align ment of thought in the country.

 OWNERSHIP OF GINS
R. B. McCulloch Urges Support of Measure Now Under Consideration
 in Legislature.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 l wish to have you to request the farmers of Faulkner county to write our representative, Dr. H. B. Hardy, and our senator, President w. D. Davenport, urging them to support a bill now bending in the legislature to prohibit oil mills from operating or owning cotton gins in Arkansas. This measure is known as senate bill No. 142, by Senator Ward, and is made special order for considera- tion in the senate Thursday.
 l was talking with an oil mill man the other day and he said the oil mills would have to go into the gin business for protection; that there are 100 pounds of dirt in every ton of seed bought Now deduct 100 pounds of dirt from every one of II ,000 tons of seed, the amount that Faulkner county produced this year, at $3 per 100 pounds, the price paid for some seed, and you would take from the farmers of Faulkner county the small amount of $33,0OO and place it to the credit of Swift, Armour and a few other "big bugs"
 Now, you can't dodge this matter. don't care who is. in the gin busi- ness, this is cold business propo- sition and the farmer is the loser. If the oil mills have paid too much for seed and have not made any, money this year, that is no more than the farmer has done all his life. If he got a good price for his seed this year, he needed it, as he used to take S5 per ton and he never howled or went into the oil mill business, but took his medicine. Now when the farmer begins to get little of what is coming to him, MT. Oil Mill Magnate begins to howl and talk
