Continued from page 1 meeting of the day with 200 men pre- sent.
 J. S. Knox spoke at Ogden in the morning and at Wilton in the after noon. His meetings were a success. J. H. Mcleod spoke at Arden in the morning and at Richmond in the af.er noon All speakers reported at Ash down for the night meeting.
 At the night meeting Harry F. Kapp made the opening talk. He is a most interesting and convincing speaker. His text was the three "F's"; Food for yourself and family; Foad for all the stock on your farm, and Food for the soil
 J. s. Knox followed with talk on the family garden. His talk was to the point and contained valuable infor maticn of the value and care of the nome garden.
 J. H. Mcleod talked about live stock ana pastures He had tables showing t..9e gain and cost per 100 pounds in the different methods of feeding and prov ed that the pasture was necessary to ti.e profitable fat -ening of stock.
 N. T. McAllister spoke 45 minutes on pigs and peanuts He is an enthus last on the subject and has statistics that were startling with information, He confronted the audience with an invoice of the things shipped into this county to eat, what they cost and how home. His figures were reliable, but too numerous to be tabulated here.
 Used Charts.
 All the speakers used charts, and by this means drove the argument home in concrete way Following is an illustration, which is worthy of study:
 \ Bale of Cotton Will Buy
 In an average year, price F cents, worth $60:
 oU DuSllSIS pOId OcS at ~ SClleS'
 750 pounds lard at 8 cents.
 P bushels flour at S4.50. 375 pounds bacon at Is cents.
 6 tons hay at S10.
 30 pairs shoes at $2.00
 720 yards cotton cloth at 33 cents. 100 bushels corn at 50 cents.
 This Year.
 Cotton price 20 cents, worth $1o0. A bushels Of potatoes at $2.25. 555 pounds lard at IS cents.
 10 barrels flour at S10.
 8 pounds bacon at 30 cents.
 333 bushels corn at $1.20.
 tons hay at $20,
 20 pairs shoes at $500.
 666 yards cotton cloth at $15.
 By studying this table you will at On,7.a see that you are not as we'll off with 20 cent cotton with high prices of everything else as you were with F cent cotton under old conditions. The moral is: Raise all these things and keep the cotton money" This was only one of the series of points brought out.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Though Christmas comes with it's joys and pleasures, yet it sometimes brings sorrows as we'll
 Sadness is brought to us, realizing the fact that with the passing or Christmas that death claimed one of the promising young ladies of our town, Miss Coral Ogden. Coral was a girl whose splendid disposition and gentle lovable, nature endeared her to all. We realizze that our town has lost a bright jewel, one whose life, no doubt would have been a blessing to our community
 Though our loss grieves us, yet we can only bow submissively to the will of the Father who doeth all things we'll.
 Be it resolved: That the Ogden Sunday school express it's sorrow for the death of this beloved member and tender it's sympathies to the bereaved ones.
 Be it further resolved that copy of these resolutions be furnished the Lit tie River News for publication, and that copy of the same become a part of the records of this Sunday School. Committed Miss Eehel Smithson, Mrs R. N. Holmes, A. J. Bryant Ogden.

 Arrives at "The WalIs.''

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Tom Gregory, the thirty second prisoner to be receiv- ed at the penitentiary since Wednes- day, has the distinction of being the first prisoner sent from Boone county in five years. Penitentiary records show that Tom Cantrell, the last Boone county prisoner to be received, was discharged in 1912.
 Gregory was brought here last night by Sheriff L. M. Graham, who recent ly was elected to his second term as sheriff. Sheriff Groham said this is his first trip to the penitentiary with a prisoner. Gregory will serve two sentences of three years each, one for false pretense and the other for for gery.

ARK. GUARDS
 ORDERED HOME
First Regiment Is Included In Troops Designated to Leave the Border. Over 25,000 Border Troops to Be
 Mustered Gut Very Soon.

Washington, Jan. 21.-More than 25,- 900 national guardsmert now on the Mexican border, among them the First Arkansas, have been designated by Major General Funston for return home and muster out of the federal service, under the order issued yester- day by the War Department.
 All these organizations will be start ed homeward as soon as transporta- tion facilities can be provided. Their departure will leave between 45,000 ing border patrol
 War Department officials continue to withhold comment on reports that the movement of General Pershing's regu- lars out of Mexico soon will be under way, and the statement announcing the guardsmen designated for relief does not connect these orders with the withdrawal plans in any way. The un derstanding has been, however, that with the return of the expedition in Mexico and readjustment of the bor- der patrol all of the state troops grad ually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 General Funston has selected these organizations chiefly in accordance with the rule of returning first these troops longest in service on the bor der. To some extent, however, this rule could not be followed without un- equal weakening of tie border guard, and the departures from it are so eX- plained. The total strength of the or ganizations selected is p, ,243.
 Guards Named to Return.
 Troops designated by General Fun ston include the First Arkansas infan- try. First Battalion Field Artillery and Field Hospital No. 1 of Louis ana Fourth Missouri Infantry, Ambulance Company No, 1, and Field Hospital No. 1 of Tennessee, First Oklahona Infan- try and Troops A and B Cavalry, hos pital company and Company A engi- neers of Oklahoma.
 Organizations of tie following states also are included: Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts. Minnesota Montana, Nebroska, New Hampshile, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsyl- yania, South Carolina South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia

BTR.tS AT TEN RKANA
William JcEn ngs Bryan Will Be at
 Texarkana This Week.

TeXarkana, Jan. 23-Considerable interest has been created locally by the announcement that Hon. William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of state in President Wilson's cabinet, is to appear at the Grand Opera House, Friday, January 26th and give his fam ous peace lecture.
 Bryan hs considerable following here, and the indications are that a number of local residnts will journey to Texarkana to listen to the lecture of this greatest of all peace advocates.
 Bryan was to have appeared in Tex arkan during the Chautauqua sessions last summer, when numerous local residents had planned to hear him, but international affairs reched the points of a crisis and it looked as though the United States would become involved in the European war, so Bryan cancel ed his TeXarkara speaking date, along with many others, thereby losing many hundreds of q lars, and hastened to Washington, where he assisted in smoothing over the international diff faculties.

TRAINMEN OFFER SUB.PLAN.
". c. Lee, presen,s >ibstitut& Plan
 to House Commerce Com.

Washington. Jan. 19.-W. c Lee, head of the trainmen's br )therhood tC- day presented substituf, plan for President Wilson's railroad last leg islation to the house commerce com mittee.
 A board of eight equally divided be- tween railway workers and operating off c;als. appointed by the President would solve all the present difficulties over working conditions, he said; would command unqualified support of the four brotherhoods, and despite the fact that it would be evenly divided he predicted that there would be no deadlocks.
 Lee appeared primarily to oppose the Adamson bill to compel 90 days notice of a strike Or lockout. Let the President create, so as to take it out of politics. said Mr Lee, "a board of eight members for handling this work, four practical railroad workers, such as conductors, brakemen, trainmen, or engineers, and four practical operat- ing officers. There would be few deadlccks on such board despite the fact that it was evenly divided. Men who know their subject as these men should sedom would be without a ma jority Under such plan both sides would get justice and there would be no necessity for the Adamson bill now before you or any other legislation re- q ing to hours or wages

EXPLOSION IS
 FATAL TO 300
Where Building Sto0d Is Chasm So Feet Deed, 1A0 Yards in Width. S,0O0 ,0G0 Feet of Gas Escapes and
 Ignites Muniti0n Factory.

London, Jan. 22.-Throughout Sun day thousands of persons hccked tc East London hoping to satisfy theil curcsity as to the effect of Friday s there. None of them, however, was able to obtain a near view of the scene owing to rigid police regulations. The newspaper reporters, who were allowed to approach nearer the scene describe what was formerly the site O. the explosive store as a hole 100 yards across and 80 feet deep, with masses of earth, iron and wreckage covering an area of about six acres roun& the hole Within that area, the destruction was absolute.
 Buried Under Tons of Debris.
 For two days says the Daily Mail Reporter, soldiers have been digging in wreckage in the search for bed es About a hundred have been recovered but there are stil! more. It seems almost impossible to remove the thousands of tons of stone, earth, irCn and wood. under which they ere bur io4. On the whole, however, one is s.ruck far more by the number cf the people who escaped than by the num- Der killed Judging from the fact that most of the factories were nearly en- pty and from the known proportion of casualties in certain houses, it does not appear that the death roll will eX- ceed 300
 Tt would have been much greater had the explosion occurred later, when the people had gone to be, for then they would have been blown away with the upper stories of the house, where as. being mostly on the ground floors, they had better chance to escape
 Blaze Two Niles High.
 The papers print columns of individ- ual stories, pathetic incidents and the freak effects common with all explo- sions
 The destruction of the gas tank is described as having afforded an amaz- ing spectatcle The tank did not ex- plode, but it's top was lifted off like a box lid and the S,00O0O cubic feet of Illuminating gas was liberated. 1gni- ing, column of flame rose to a height estimated at two miles, burned for a few seconds and then suddenly went out

appears unwise to put undue taxes upon excess profits and thus cripple production and impair investment power for the new bond issue. Excess taxes should be based upon average profits and more normal conditions than exist at present. The country is quickly adjusting itself to new con- dtt1ons, and industrial activity Is being rapidly diverted to war purposes and to industries, which will strengthen the country for meeting the struggle into which 1t has lately plunged. The food outlook Is brightening somewhat. Crops are likely to be larger than at one time anticipated. Railroad prob lens are in a fair way of adjustment, although the transportation lines are still working under the disadvantages of low rates, heavy expenses taxation, etc. Public service corporations are facing similar djGnculties. Another element of encouragement is the pros pect Of improved relations between capital and labor. The var has d. ready revealed the solidarity of inter- ests between both, and will in all probability do much towards dimin- ishing the misunderstanding and un- ju1tihab1e antagonism that has 90 long existed between these clements. So far as the war is concerned progress has been in a measure retarded lately by the disorganized state of Russia, the revolution having evidently tenn porarily weakened her military ability. Recent news, however, from that quar- ter has been much more favorable, and this market reflected the im- provement in general advance which began after announcement on wed- nesday that this country had made g loan of s$1, ,0o0, 100000 to Russia. show ing display of confidence by our gov- ernment which would not have been possible without good reasons The future. of the stock market is tied up in mass of conflicting influences, which make all predictions extremely hazardous, if not impossible. For some time to come, Washington will be a dominating factor in business generally. Conditions are such that we may look forward to sustained activity in all lines of industries which provide necessities, but a general slowing down of those devoted to luxuries. Economy judiciously ap- piled will benefit and not inture the country, creating a prosperity more lasting than any based upon feverish
