NOTED YOUNGER BOYS
 ONCE LIVED IN CITY
Father of Tex, Cole and Others Was Contractor Here in the
 Eighties.

Few. if any, persons in Pine Bluff who may have been thrilled by the ac' counts of the raids and hold-ups of the Younger boys in days gone by know that the family resided here in the eighties. Residents of the city at that time will not recall the family, because they were not known as the Youngers, but as, the Youngs.
 That the family had resided here from 18S3 to 1886 was made known yesterday by Tex Younger, now in Pine Bluff with company playing at the Orpheo theater. Tex has repented of his early misGeeds and seems anX- ious to prevent others from making the same mistakes he made-lnis- takes that brought him notoriety and finally the garb of a convict. He had a part in the "old shoe" campaign yesterday and was at the Rotary Club luncheon.
 "Im not proud of my early rec ord," he said. "I long ago repented, but I did not see, I'm frank to say the error of my way until had been placed ill prison. Since l was par doned I've been trying to dc good. and I believe Pm succeeding to some ex' tent. In my talks at the shows I try to get others to see that there is only one path-and that is the right; that any other is sure to bring one grief and shame"
 Younger said that he felt kindly to- ward Pine Bluff because back in 1SS3-I don't suppose many of you here will recall him-a man by the nar0c Os H H. YOuno came to Pine Bluff. He lived here until 1886. That man was my father. I don't remember much of Pine Bluff, because I was very young, and you don't remember me, because I had not then attained the notoriety that came to me, I re' gret to say, in later years
 Younger said afterwart' that during his residence in Pine Bluff his father followed the occupation of a carpen ter and contractor.

Persecution of Arme1iQns
Told by Woman Missi0nQru

While in service as n medical mis-
sionary in the work of the congrcpo

of Caesarca. Miss Thcda r. Phelps saw
I lie persecution of Armcnians by the
Greeks and Turks in the years of lall.
1915 and 1916. Miss Phelps may visit
Missonla this winter. In the mean
time she has written a clear and vivid
account of events as she experienced
thcm and through the kindness of Miss
Harriet Bates of this city. The Mis-
souian is publishing the story.
Miss Phelps opens her narrative in
the summer of 1911, when the members
OF the mission station We're most of
them con fnrloush. with two Of the
teachers holding the fort in Talae and
others coming in at frequent intervals
from their mountain camp. When news
OF the war came and an order WAS is
sued for mobilization in Turkey, teach
ers and pupils had great difficulty in
finding horses and wagons to bring
~
to travel at night, to hide or go by un-
frenuented roads by day. because the
drivers feared their horses and wagons
would be taken by the government for
military purposes
Late in the fall Of 1914" the writer
continues. "onc of the Turkish Off
Gals called at our house. He told MS
that in a nearby town. a man had been
killed by a bomb he was making. II
was an Armenian. The offAial said
that every effort would be made to

being held in prison in caesarea. EN-
aggerated stories were told of the num-
Der Of bombs found in the Armenian
houses in that village A photograph
was shown which the government
claimed was an exact picture OF the
arms and bombs found. We know there
were Armenian revolutionary societies.
We know, also. that the government
was quite capable of producing a COM
posite picture. We cannot excuse the
revolutionary Armenian for his lack of
INSTRUMENTATION can we excuse the
Turk for the brutal way he punished
guilty and innocent alike.

HELP WIN WAR
BY EATING CANDIES
SAYS CONFECTIONERY
Local Man Shows How
Sweets Contain More Food
Value Than Steak.

Niihlhtf WY 10 lio1NFliH'. ana one
that is probably more appealing to
Missonlans, has been offered by Fred
w. Cowan. proprietor of the Nonpareil
Confectionery, who has just completed
n table showing the comparative food
values of candy and food staples
According to Mr.. Cowan's figures a
POUND of chocolate creams with nut
ccnters contains moro calories of heat
than a pound OF bccfsteall and a pound
of bread. The pound of chocolates con-
tains a,49S calories while the beefsteak
ard bread of similar weight contains
zero calories.
From Mr.. Cowans figures the con-
clusion is quickly reached that we were
nnjustly punished when we were
youngsters and persisted in eating cam
dies in preference to the more ordi-
nary foods of the table.
Probably our mother had not heard
of calories in those DAYS, and only
based their action upon the fact that
previous experiences with eating too
much candy had resulted in a hurry
call FOR the familiar physician.
However, Mr.. Cowan offers a table
of Figures to support his claim that eat
ing candy is one way to save food
The following list shows the food
values of some candy.
