ANOTHER BAPTIST CHURCH SET
FREE OF DEBT.
| am yours as ever,
d. b. GAINES, Moderator.

Dear Editor: Allow me to say a
word for the Eastern Star Baptist
Church, Argenta, Ark. We were
called to this little band of faithful
workers about three years ago. We
hesitated about going, but in my
mind, | heard a voice saying, go, |
will go with you. So | Obeyed the
call. The house measured 1SX22,
the lot was not paid for. This little
handful of members like obedient
children to father stood by my
side, so we finished paying for the
lot and tore down the old house and
begun a new one. The material cost
about $1,000, aside from the carpen-
ter's work. When we took charge
of the church they had rs cents in
the treasury That same IS cents is
in the treasury today. Our house is
about completed with the exception
of beautifying inside. | sounded the
alarm one month and called the
leaders of the different auxiliaries
together.
The Sunday school, Bro. H. B. Nc
Mel, Supt.; Bible Band, Sister Fran
ces McGraw; Singing Choir, Brother
Rrilev. They all like heroes fell by
nv side on the first Sunday in Sept.
We raised $4,000, and paid our
church out of debt The sunday
school raised more money than any
of the organizations, therefore the
SUPERINTENDENT will burn the mort
gage on the third Sunday in Octo-
Der. at the closing OF the pastor
fourth anniversary. At 3 p. m. me
good members of Eastern, backed up
by the strong members Of Shiloh ana
Others gave us a great reception
Monday night in honor OF my little
work among them as pastor IN that
thew gave me about $500 on my
trim to the National Baptist Con
vention at Atlanta, Ga. The total
amount raised, $1,000. Now we
can sing, thank God almighty, am
free at last
Our church property values about
S3.5OO.0O St. Joe, this grand OLD
church on short notice gave about
$500 am glad to say we are alive
and God is on our side.
Dear Editor we will meet you in
October at Woodson in our great
Association.
A word to you, DR.. j. P. Robinson
sir. we will meet you in Helena IN
November in our great State Con-
yention. We expect to make the
world sit up and take notice. We
beg to remain

LACK OF RAINFALL MAKES no.
MEMBER DRIEST ON RECORD,
BUT FOGS ARE Plentiful

An outstanding feature of the re-
port of Weather Forecaster w. c. De-
yereauX, of Cincinnati, for the month
Of November, 1917, was the almost to-
tai lack of rainfall during the month.
The precipitation totaled but 81 of an
inch. This is the driest November on
record.
Heretofore the record was ga of
an inch-in November, 1904. No mea-
surable amount of precipitation was
recorded last month until November
%, and there were but five days there
after with measurable amounts.
The month also was characterized
by the number of dense fogs. The
record shows that every day from
November 6 to II unusually dense
fogs prevailed, and when it is con-
sidered these fogs prevailed on con-
secutive days, there is no parallel in
the history OF the Cincinnati Wealth
er Bureau Office.
Temperature average was nearly
normal for the month, and no eN-
tremely high or low temperatures oc-
Cured during the 30 days.

FIVE THOUSAND RIFLES, ALL
"AMERICAN ENFIELDS", ARE
TURNED OUT EVERY DAY
'coSJTissI Ut y iIs E7ii Tazssis. me

Washington, December 5-Rife fac
tories in the United States are max
ing 5000 American Enfield" rifles a
day for the equipment of the land
forces, and during the present month
this output will be increased to T.
900 a day. Every fighting man in
France has a reserve of four rifles,
besides the one he carries. There
is an adequate supply of ammunition
for these guns.
These are facts that have been
brought to light by members of the
Senate who have come to Washington
within the last few days, intent on
finding out the truth of reports that
the War Department is behind in its
effort to build up an army.
Inquiry has been made by men,
Der of members of the Senate Milt-
larry Committee, who are in posi-
ton to learn facts about what the
War Department is doing more
lupickly than members who are on
this committee, and none of them has
criticism to offer for the present
situation with respect to the supply
of rifles and ammunition.
The rifles that is beinb made is call
ed the best rifle in the world" 1t
is a modification of the English En-
field, and it built along the lines laid
down in plans approved by the Brit
ish Government for change in the
rifle equipment of the British army.
The world war made it impossible
for Great Britain suddenly to change
its type of rife, and the oil Enfield
still is being used there.
1t is admitted that the clothing sit
uation in the cOntonments was not
what it should have been when the
men first went into camp. Senatorial
inquiry into this subject brings the
general statement that there Is no
condition merting severe criticism,
and that the equipment problem is
generally well taken care of.
There is no question that the Medi-
cal Corps is handling its problems In
manner that surpasses the most
sanguine hopes of the War Depart
ment.
The outstanding problems at pres
ent are those of transportation, both
rail and water. The equipment and
care of the army is far in advance of
the general transportation equipment
of the Government, and there appears
now to be no question but what all
fighting men will have more equip
ment than they actually need before
the Government is physically able to
send them to the fighting line.

LONG SUSPECTED AUSTRIANS
WILL SOON BE JAILED

Washington, December 4-Scores
of Austria Hungarian subjects, sus-
pected of being enemy agents in this
country, will be arrested within a
few hours after a declaration of war
against Austria Many of these men
have been under surveillance by De-
partment of Justice agents for
months, but have not been taken into
custody because of lack of definite
evidence against them.
When Congress adopts president
Wilson's recommendation that state
of war against AUSTRIA Hungary be
declared, unnaturalized subjects of
the dual monarchy aliens and be sub
ject to summary arrest and intern
ment.
For several months, Government
agents have been gathering informa-
ton on the hostile activities Of Aus
TRANS who were not subject to the
restrictions imposed upon unnatural
lied Germans by the state of war
with Germany and those caught in il
legal acts were arrested and tried
under the usual criminal statutes.
Many others were free to travel and
obtain information valuable to Amer
ica's enemies, however, while keeping
their conduct technically within the
law.

The Lumberjaek Pledge.

Written on board ship and signed by
every one of the three hundred members
| of the ten New England sawmill units
now on their way to English forests,
the letter OF appreciation of courtesies
and Vice Chairman Phelan of the Mas
sachusetts committee on public safety
is Enthusiastically TO the point. Your
true New England lumberjack, when he
has anything TO say, says it with Wig
orous and refreshing directions. 1t is so
in this case:
"You may rest assured that we, repre-
sentatives of the Drawn of New England,
win uphold the record for which our fla
theirs and forefsthers stood. The govern
ment we represent can depend upon us
to do our bit in the great struggle for
humanity and when our work is over,
God grant that we may all return with
the feeling that you and your associates
will be proud to welcome us back to the
shore of old New England"
No one who has visited them often in
their camps, and has witnessed their de-
votion to the rules of the game as taeit-
ly laid down in their own code, can en-
terrain doubt that "the government
which they represent can depend on them
TO do their bit in the great struggle for
humanity" Humanity is their middle
name. Nowhere on earth is there class
of men more thoroughly human than
they. Nowhere is to be found class
OF men more faithful to duty or more
positively insistent on fair play. Real
izing, as they do, that the present actual
ly is struggle for humanity" the
New England huskies from the bush will
do their part manfully and efficiently.
To New Englanders, who know them,
this assurance is superiuous. To OBJ
servers outside New England, who lack
the privilege of acquaintance with the
virile woodsmen of this section, we have
only this to say: Wait and see. We
vouch for the New England lumberjacks.
