Organized effort Is being made by
the Washington fire department to OBJ
tain the necessary legislation for the
establishment in the District OF Co

platoon system. Under this system
the members OF the department, in
stead of being continuously on duty
twenty-four hours daily. would work
in two shifts. the day and night
platoons exchanging about every
thirty days, so that each shift would
have its proper proportion of day and
night duty.
Under present conditions, it is ex-
planned by members of the fire depart
duty continuously. Except for meal
hours. twenty-four hours daily. Every
nth day is allowed off, though there
is no provision in law or department
regulations for this day Off
Under the two-platoon system, 1t is
explained, the men of one platoon
would be on duty twelve hours, when
the second patoon would relieve them.
The tours of duty might be divided
into ten and fourteen hour shifts, as

METHODIST CHURCH

Not withstanding the down. pour of rain on last Sunday morning, we had at Sunday school 129. twenty-three o1 whom were in the mems class. This is not so bad for such a day. There was a very good congregation at the eleven o'clock hour for the day and a splendid attendance at night. We are looking for a large number next Sunday if the weather re mains open and nice as it is now.
 The prayer meeting was well attended Wednesday evening the subject being that of Faith and Works There were near a hundred present, yet we ought to have two hundred every prayer meeting evening.
 There were quite a number at teachers meeting on last Fri day evening and all seemed to be interested in the study of the les son.
 Teachers meeting this evening at 7::30 followed by the Teachers training study class. Let all our teachers be on hand and take part in both these meetings.
 No one should be willing to teach in the Sunday school who is not willing to make the best possible preparation for the same. It is an injustice to your self and also an injustice to those you teach.
 Brother Young has the books for the training class and will have the first lesson this evening. If you haven't a book get one and become a member of this class.
 Teachers get busy and look after absentees and bring them back to the class, also new pupils, round up, round up, this thing to do.

Senator Johnson of Scott is quite an impersonator, and the members threatened to even the score by turning Snator John ston loose the first time there is a few spare hours in the Senate. The employees who have seen Senator Johnston in action, when the members of the Senate furnished the material for the reproduction, have nothing to fear, for they know Senator Johnston could not stage a vaudeville stunt and neglect the members of the august body.

Some parts of Arkansas may be bone dry, but cloak rooms of House and Senate have rather the appearance of a down East cellar. Not that the statewide prohibition act is in any way violated, for tn cider has not be- gun to age, and the kick is notic- ably absent. There is manu- factured in Little Rock cider that is all the juice of the apple. Members of House and Senate have started a fad of cider drink ing, and all hands chip in and buy 1t in ten gallon lots. One jug went to work Wednesday night, and blew out the cork be- fore morning, but there were no members on hand at that time to see whether or not fermentation had bgun. The members were all away on iunketing trips.

Practically all of the members of the Legislature who are not on iunketing trips, left on the early morning train today for Conway, where they will b en- tertained today by the Conway Business Mems organization. They were accompanied by a committee from Conway.

Had members of the Arkansas Senate been present ill the Sen ate chamber Thursday morning, they no doubt would have start ed impeachments, custer or other proceedings. While the Senators are away the help will play. Having all entries of record made the employees of the Senate Thursday morning staged a mock session of that legislative body. Homer Freeling, assist ant secretary, in the capacity of presiding officer, went through with the roll call. Each Senator as his name was called, arose and made part of a speech which had appealed to the humor of the en1- ployes.

PROSPECTS GOOD
 FOR BANK LAW
Bank Guaranty Law Will Prob ably Be Passed at This Ses- sion of Legislature. Other Notes and News of the Gener- al Assembly.

Little Rock, Jan. 26.-Ark- ansas will probably have a bank guaranty act before the end of the legislative session. In fact, such a bill has been agreed to by one faction of bankers. Other want nothing in the nature of a guaranty bill, while still another, led by I. Nakdimen, Fort Smith bankers, wants a still more liber- al law. The compromise bill, which will replace all bank guaranty bills now pending in the Senate, will be introduced Monday It will be known as the Bush, Duty, Garrett and Hester bill, for all these Senators have bills displaced by the new one.
 The new bill will require the state banks to pay 1-20 of one per cent, instead of Is into the guaranty fund, will permit the state banks to have deposits to the extent of twenty times their capital stock, and will require that only two thirds of the re- serve fund be invested in Ark ansas.
 The Banks and Banking com mittee of the Senate will hold an open meeting on Tuesday night to which all interested persons are invited, and from all indica- tions, this will be a rather warm session. l Nakdimen will ap- pear before the committee to in- sist that the bill provide for state banking board which shall meet once a month to advise with the State Bank Commissioner, and also that the reserve of the banks be invested in county and state warrents instead of mort gages and other securities. MT. Nakdimen states that this bill will immediately put all state and county warrents at par, for it would take them off the mar ket.

today to rule the market. Before the

prices dropped 25 cents from the OPEN
