SEVERAL CASES
 OF SMALLPOX
 IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Nov. 6--When move ment to conceal several cases of smallpox in a negro residential dis trict in the vicinity of 1000 East Second street was discovered, an in tensive campaign of vaccination was begun Monday morning by Dr. J. c. Geiger of the United States public health service, with the assistance of armed guards.
 It was in this community that the outbreak of smallpox last year start ed, physicians said, and drastic steps are being taken by the board of health to prevent recurrence.
 For radius of two blocks all in- habitants of houses were placed un- der quarantine until vaccinated. The original case was found Sunday after noon by Dr. T. A. Mckinney. city health officer. and this action was taken following consultation with Dr. Geiger Monday morning.
 The health officers are making a strenuous effort to trace the source of the disease. The original case has been sent to the pesthouse and the proper precautions have been talk en at the home to prevent any further spread.

ARKANSAS WINS AGAIN.

The following from the college of agriculture of the Arkansas university shows that Araknsas as whole is abreast of the times and takes advan- tage of every thing helpful and educa- tional
 "Sixty-two counties have made ap- preparations to help pay the salaries of 12S county agents, home demon stration agents and negro agents. As a result this state still leads all oth- CTS in the number employed in the work for better agriculture. This stamo of approval put upon the work of the agricultural extension division of the University of Arkansas, led by w. e. Lasseter, director, shows that our reople are alive to their oppor- tunity and willing to do their share to help develop the work as made pos .sible by tie recent increased federal appropriations. It also shows that our people recognize the value of sci entifi.. methods in farming cad the business men are to be congratulated for their foresight in realizing what the war will do for increased produc- tion and what increased production will do for better business. They have backed up their judgment by bQQAting the work and have demon stfated their sincerity by being will ing to bear their share of the taxes to support the work.'s

RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ARE ON THEIR WAY
 TO LITTLE ROCK

New Orleans, >Nov. 6.-Whether Arkansas will respond as did Mary land. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas to the Russian plea for nat ional sympathy soon will be known, for the Russian embassy's car Is on the way to Little Rock, the center of the state, where meeting is to be held.
 Russia wants the United States to help her. If the United States helps Russia she helps herself. If Russia, which even now is keeping 2,50O,OO German troops on the eastern var front, is given sufficient support that she may reorganize her armies and drive back the Germans, the quicker the war will end and the sooner the young men of the United States will come back.
 If the United States, through fail- ure to grasp this situation, permits Russia for lack of munitions or other needed supplies to go out of the war, there will be 2,500,000 German troops let loose on the eastern front that can be flung against the vest ern line where American boys soon are to be fighting.
 This is the story that Major Wash burn will tell the people of Arkansas through the Little Rock meeting, and he will tell it as only one can tell

PLENTY OF HEAT IN THE
 WORLD.

The wheat situation would be com plctely revolutionized if transporta' tions were procurable. It is fact that there is more than sufficient quantity of wheat on hand in all tho wheat-growing countries of the globe to more than feed every mouth in the fighting countries; but the difficulty is that where the grain is most need ed it is not at hand, and where least need ed it is to be had in great quan' titles.
 The supplies of North America. Australia, Argentine and India total GAG, 100000 bushels. But the supply in Australia for instance, is not avail able for lack of transportation. The 1916 crop in its entirety is still in Australian elevators. and half of the 1915 crop to boot. The 1917 crop is practically all on hand. There is hardly sufficient storage room in Australia, and rats and vermin arc much feared. In the past few. weeks some of the 1917 Australian crop has been finding it's way to the United States.
 Z nj the next two years the United IF
