DON'T MISS CHANCE TO SEE THIS TRAIN
Marvels of California and the Golden West Brought to You on Railway
 Exposition Train.

The California Railway exposition, which has been attracting such throngs throughout the middle west, will arrive in Pine Bluff tomorrow and will be open to the public for three days. beginning Monday morning, De- cember 31, at 10 o'clock.
 The train is brim full of unique fea- lures, containing everything from a baby ostrich to a glimpse of the mann moth trees. It scarcely seems possible to make a display of such magnitude in the limited space of railroad coaches, but artists and decorators have accomplished wonders with the diversified resources of California. Never before have the grains and fruits of the Golden state been assem- bled in such artistic array, and for the lover of flowers rare treat is in store.
 The scenic features consist of dia- ramic reproductions of the world famed Yosemite Valley, Mercer's Cave, the Big Tree Grove and the San Joaquin Valley-all works of art, pronounced by those who have had the pleasure of visiting these places to be as beautiful as the original.
 The mounted birds and wild game prove great fascination for the children, and it is almost impossible to get them away from the little nook in the mountains which is visualized in order to make a setting for the fish and game. i
 The train will be parked on the Cot ton Belt tracks, near the intersection of Main and Third, and will be open from 10 a. m. to g P. m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. An admis- sion fee of 10 cents takes you all the way through this wonderful exhibi- tion, which required many months of preparation at cost of thousands ot dollars.

Sheriff Bob Keel and locked up

a former neighbor and it fell into
the hands of the officers. The
photo proved his undoing, as the
officers recognized it as Palmer
and sent to Oklahoma, where he
had been living, after him.

CONSERVING THE MOISTURE

1t has been estimated that
from 5 to 6 inches of water will
ordinarily mature a 40-bushel
crop of corn. Arkansas has 45 to
80 inches oi rainfall each year,
but in spite of this abundance Of
water much of the corn suffers
from lack of moisture and com
plants are always heard that
corn is light and chaffy because
of the drouth. The soil is our
storehouse for moisture and in
ordinary seasons there is no ne
cessity for not supplying the
corn crop with a sufficient
amount of water if we cultivate
the crop properly. If we are to
save the moisture, cultivation
must be done just as soon after
each rain as it will doto work the
soil. This cultivation should be
repeated frequently until the
crop is matured. Many farmers
cultivate too deeply, cut the corn
roots and reduce the yield. The
best way is to cultivate shallow.
For cultivating corn or cotton
after the grass and weeds are
under control, two trips for each
row is too expensive. One trip
to the row can be made just as
effective for saving the moisture.

tivator with small sweeps instead

hours of daylight may be added to
the available time of the people of

This is what will happen if con-
gress follows the lead taken by all
the belligerent nations of Europe and
cnacts into law a measure introduced
in the senate by Senator Calder of
New York, and in the house by Rep
resentative Borland of Missouri, at
the request of the daylight saving
committee of New York.
The plan, as adopted in Europe
and as proposed by the committee OF
which l am chairman, is, briefly, to
turn the clock forward this spring
and turn it back to normal time next
fall, so that during the five summer
months an extra hour of daylight

If placed in effect May l and con.
tnued to the end Of September, a
period of 1853 days, it would mean
16,S3O, 900, 900 hours of additional day
light, figuring one hour for each man,
woman and child in the United States
each day.
This is enough time, if it could be
utilized in such a way. figuring 1000
men each working eight hours a day
for three years on each ship, Sundays
and, holidays included, to build $50

ira hour as valuable to only half the
population.
What we want is to get the nation
to begin its waking and. working

in winter" said Marks.
