That the present disastrous drouth
in Texas, which has dried up all the
pastures and forced thousands of
lean cattle on the market, offers a
golden opportunity for Arkansas to
obtain these cattle and TO make a
big profit on them is the opinion Of
members of the Arkansas Profit
able Farming Bureau of the Little
Rock Board Of Commerce.
Yesterday e. j. Bodman, chair
man of the bureau, communicated
with farmers whom he thought
would be interested and as a result
it is assured that at least 25 car
loads OF the cattle will be brought
to the state. Mr.. Bodman believes
chat other farmers would seize the
opportunity if they knew of it and
he suggests that those interested
write to Ed. r. Henry. traffic man
ager of the Fort Worth Stock Yards
Company, at Fort Worth, Texas.
These cattle are vew thin. They
would not be on the market were it
not for the fact that the Texas
ranges are absolutely dried up and
the owners of the cattle must rush
them to the market at once or let
them starve to death. They can be
bought for from six to eight cents
a pound. Brought to Arkansas and
fattened. they would take on enough
weight to bring a handsome profit to
their owners even if they We're sold
for the same price paid for them
Pastures in Arkansas are reported
unusually good and it is said that
there is more feed and forage than
ever before in the, history of the
state. These cattle would offer a
fine opportunity for converting this
feed and forage into money and at
The same time would add greatly

members, six of whom were ap-
pointed by the President Of the
United States. In 1905 new
charter Mas granted and William
r. Taft was elected president of
the association. The association re-
ports to the War Department on
the first day of each year. giving a
fun account of all its work.
Through the work of one heroic
woman this noble association was
founded. Clara Barton was the
greatest heroine Of American his
tory, immortalized as Christmas
Lady born as she was on the
happy holiday sacred to the Christ
o. Childhood and Youth. TO be
like the Master was the pattern
for herself Born Christmas day,
dying ON Friday, the day He was
c1ucified, the long life of Clara
Barton partook of the mind of
Christ. Every German child knows
something OF Clara Barton because
OF her work during the Franco
Prussian war. Every French child,
knows something OF Clara Barton
because Of the work done in Paris.
The number of children brought up
in American homes and taught in
American schools who never heard
OF Clara Barton is appalling.

Mp. HI)DDLESTOhI IS MADE Head
OFLOCAL RED CROSS SOCIETY;
CABLECRAM FROM FRANCE

Hon. M. P. Huddleston-"Ge Genial
Mike'---today received letter from
f. Vinsonhaler, state director for
the American Red Cross Society,"
naming him as president of the
Paragould chapter. The position
was formerly held by Mrs. Chas. w.
Stedman. On account Of other du-
ties Mrs. Stednan found herself
unable to give the necessary
amount Of time to Red Cross work,
and therefore rendered her resigna-
ton several weeks ago.
Mr.. Huddleston has been very act
i've in Red Cross work since efforts
were made months ago to form a
local unit. He is an exceptionally
able speaker, is thoroughly familiar
with parliamentary, law, man of
remarkably attractive manners, and
possesses ability of a very positive
kind He is a tireless worker, read
lily alert to the interests of any
enterprise with which he may be
connected, and his appointment as
head Of the Paragould Chapter will,
without doubt, give entire salts
faction.
Mrs. Stedman this morning re
ceived a telegram from w. J. Lep-
pert, director of the gulf division
of the National Red Cross, suggest
ing the Importance of beginning
work at once. Paragould has been
called upon for 500 sweaters, 500
mufflers, 500 pairs of wristlets" and
500 pairs OF sox The call comes
just in time to impress the necessi-
fy for prompt and thorough local
organization. None of the gar
ments required by the Director have
been prepared. AS a matter of fact,
headquarters have not been crowded
with workers to any appreciable
extent Mr. Huddleston, who will
at once enter actively into the
work of cooperation with the state
and national associations, stated
this afternoon that the urgent APP
peals for results have in no sense
been ovcrdrawn. Mr.. Leppert in
cluded in his telegram to Mrs.
Stedman a cablegram from Maj,
Grayson Murphy, sent from France.
The cablegram said:
'Last winter broke all records
for cold and misery here among
our people The ineXpressible dread
Of the coming winter finds. us with
ont supplies with which to meet the
situation. We urge you, ON behalf
of our soldiers, and in behalf OF
those of our allies who will suffer

ing returned from Switzerland to

eve find that it is necessary to
ask your chapter to supply def
mite number of garments referred to
by Maj Murphy. Your allotment is
500 sweaters, 500 mufflers, 500
pairs Of wristlets and 500 pairs of
sox. Letter instructions, giving de
tails, viii follow IN two days Ask
your members to furnish all knitted
work now on hand, and clear the
deck for action. We want every
chapter to have a chance to do its
part in making good on this call
from France for help"
Mr.. 'Huddelston, in commenting
upon the messages, said:
at is not within my province TO
suggest to the ladies of Paragould
just how they should set about to
produce the results that we must
show. In matters demanding i'm
portant and positive action, his
tory has shown that the women al
ways respond promptly heroically
and with an amazing degree of self
sacrifice when the call is sounded.
No one doubts that in this instance
all requirements will be met. Not
only will the requirements be lived
up to in all respects. but the work
will be done quickly and effectively.
I only wish to say that the Red
Cross is in no sense an exclusive
organization of women, as so many
seem to think. In the matter of
arranging financially and practical
~ for the relief of American SOL
diers who will occupy trenches in
France next winter, and in corr
tributing to the relief of soldiers
of the allied nations, the men of
Paragould MUST consider that a
binding obligation rests upon them.
We who are permitted at the dis
erection of the President and con-
gress to remain at home while still
others have been enlisted under
the flags of America, France, Bel
gium, England and Italy should re-
member that we remain here pure
1y by virtue of that phase of the
selective draft which intends to
place each individual where he will
best serve his country. We are in
no sense excused. We are, in fact,
just as essentially part of the
fighting forces of the nation as are
the boys who wear khaki and
march into trenches on foreign soil.
The mere fact that the socalled
CONSUMPTION act was termed a Sc
Iective draft means that implied
responsibilities are imposed upon
all The greater degree of cooper
alton we show, the sooner may we
expect the return of those who
have been summoned to the defense
OF democracy and international lib
erty. Permit me to urge once more
that the men of Paragould follow
the example set by Mr.. Partlow,
and others who seem to realize their
responsibilities.
