FIRE FIEND WORSE
THAN BOLD ROBBER

The burning up of goods or
wealth robs the human race of
much of it's treasure. 1t turns just
so much human energy, toll and
sweat into nothingness. If all the
wealth in the world were burned
up nobody would have anything. If
half the wealth were burned up
everybody would be half as we'll off
as before. Yet many people do not
realize that they help sustain the
loss in every fire that destroys
property.
Many people do not realize that
thew have sustained a definite fire
loss at the end of every year wheth-
err or not any of their individual
property has been destroyed by
fire, during that time, and regard
less of the question of insurance.
But such is the case, as every
thoughtful person can figure out
for himself. Everybody pays the
fire tax which is tackled on to the
high cost of living.
Fire is the greatest enemy of hui
man wealth. Pirates and robbers
take away wealth but spend it
again. 1t is not lost to the race,
but merely to the owner. Fire
takes away from the owner, from
1.-THE human, race and from the face
of the earth. 1t is wiped out for
ever.
! Arkansas people burned up Cor,
rather let burn up) nearly two and
one-half million dollars worth of
property during the year 1915. Most
of these fires were preventable.
Cigars, cigarette stubs and pipes
caused fire losses of more than $16,-
600 in Arkansas during 1915.
Thousands are spent on fire fight
ing and comparatively nothing on
fire prevention.

Municipal Bond
Amendment Filed

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-Petitions,
containing the signatures of $500
electors, asking for the submission
at the general election in 1918 of
an amendment to the constitution
permitting incorporated towns of
1000 or more by consent of ma
jority of the electors of a munich
Dality to issue bonds, were filed with
Secretary of State Terral yesterday.
This is the third petition of this
character that has been filed. The
supreme court ruled that the first
two had not been adopted.
The number of signatures requir-
ed is 14,O5S, which is eight per
cent of the total vote in the cleo
ton in 1916, which was IT'S, 1874.
The petition filed yesterday contain
ed ,542 more signatures than nee
essary.
The filing of this petition reduces
by one the number of bills that can
Uc at tHC. icAJ SCllCl di
election, and petitions for two 9th
ers at least are being circulated.
The legislature expects to offer
some, and, there is race between
the legislature and the people to
get their measures filed first, as
only three can be submitted at one
election. One of those to be sub
mitted if the petition is filed in
time, is a bill to enlarge the scope
of the initiative and referendum, to
replace amendment No. 13, which
was defeated at the last election.
This petition is being circulated by
the people. Another is to increase
the number of supreme court JUS
tees, but while this is being circu-
lated by the people, the Legislature
has a submission bill covering the
same ground.

MISSING AVIATORS
FOUND EXHAUSTED

Wellton, Ariz., JAM 20.-Lieut.
Col. Harry G. Bishop and Lieut.. w.
A. Robertson Jr., missing army avia-
tors, exhausted from walking four
days in the wilds of Sonora, Mex,
without food or water, were found
Thursday 33 miles south of the
border by a searching party from
Wellton.
Lieut.. Robertson was brought here
yesterday by the searchers. Lieut.,
Col. Bishop, too weak to walk, was
left in charge of four searchers in
the Rosario mountains, where he
was found Thursday night at 10
O'Clock.
Two sandwiches and two oranges
each was all the food the men had
tasted since they left the North
Island aviation base at San Diego
Jan. 10. Water, which they took
from the radiator of the airplane
after they landed on the east coast
of the Gulf of California, was ex-
hausted four days ago. They had
tasted none since.
Robertson was found Thursday,
following the tracks of the automo-
bile of the searching party at the
base of the ella mountains. He
directed the party to the Rosario
mountains, 80 miles further south,
where he said he left Bishop the
day before, exhausted and unable
to walk.
The searchers found Bishop lying
on the ground in mountain pass.
He was unable to talk and barely
able to recognize the searchers. Rob
ertson said the members of the
searching party were the first hui
mans he had seen since he landed.
He was unable to give definite in
formation as to the district where
they landed.
Members of the party who took
charge of Bishop are expected to
arrive today.
The propeller of their airplane
was broken, Robertson said, when
they made a landing about 1926
p. m. Wednesday, Jan. 10. Enough
gasoline for 80 minutes flight re-
manned.
The aviators remained with the
Iairplane until 4:30 p. m. and then
abandoned it, starting across the
desert toward the mountains and
heading north. They drained a
gallon oil can and filled Il with
water from the radiator of their air
plane. This they carried with them

STATE MAY EMBARK
In LOAN BUSINESS

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-If the
voters of Arkansas adopt at their
next election amendment No. IA
which has always been the hoodoo
every measure carrying that num-
Der having been defeated-the state
will virtually go into the building
and loan business.
The Davis amendment, providing
for an Arkansas rural credits loan
fund, is an interesting document.
The amendment provides first that
the governor, secretary of state
and state land commissioner shall
constitute a commission which may
issue bonds to the extent of per
cent of the assessed valuation of
the state. These bonds are to be
sold at par and bear a per cent
interest. The commission then loans
to those who desire to purchase
lands, or to pay off mortgages on
their property, or to buy stock or
equipment, at per cent. The
amendment is strictly in the inter
est of the small property owner, for
it limits the purchase to 80 acres,
and the land must be bought for a
home and agricultural purposes, and
not for speculation.
The state will issue bonds only
in blocks of $4,000. though their
denomination will be $25, 500,
$500 and $1,000. If there are APP
plications for loans the commission
waits until it has applications to-
falling $4,000, when he will issue
bonds and turn the proceeds over to
the would-be. home owner.
The amendment provides sys-
tenn of payments, similar to the
building and loan companies, which
cares for interest, and within a
certain number of years will pay off
the loan.
All kinds of safeguards are
thrown around the bill, and while
lit is possible for the borrower to
secure rs per cent of the value OF
the land, he forfeits his rights il

FARM DEMONSTRATION DEPARTMENT
Edited by Thos. j. Bentley

Strawberry growers held an in
teresting meeting Friday and de-
cided that since the berry crop is
soon over that it will be wise and
also safer farming to plant some
supplementary crop to be used as a
money crop following the berries.
This crop will possibly be sweet po-
tatoes and tomatoes. After the
berries have been sold and out of
the way, the tomatoes can be taken
care of and marketed in the green
or fresh state and what the mar
ket does not need, can be put up
in cans and supplied to the market
later in the fall when the bulk of
fresh tomatoes are gone.
Several little girls last year put
tomatoes up in tin cans in the Can
ming Club work ard after the con-
test was over, they sold their toma-
toes for a good price to the market
here at home. w. T. Costen bought
200 cans from little Miss Myriam
Beck, paying her the market price
for them and before they hardly
had time to warm the shelf where
they were placed, they were sold
and not single purchaser reported
an objection to the quality.
Since children do so well, is there
any reason why grown-up farmers
cannot do as we'll? Any farmer in
terested in the above program of the
strawberry growers are invited to
attend the meetings and become a
member, so that he may help out
the cause of more and better cash
crops with his advice and assist
ance. o.

"BONE DRY" BILL TO
BECOME LAW TODAY
Continued From First Pagc)

This was unanimously carried, and
then Senator Hester called up an
other Johnson bill regulating the
charges for electricity in Fort
Smith. He did not even permit it
to go to a second reading, before
moving to Indefinitely postpone,
with the explanation that it would
abrogate contract between the
city and the electric company. The
motion carried.
Another house bill sent to an IN
timely end was the Humphrey bill,
repeating a special road district in
Stone and I2ard counties. Senator
Edmondson informer the senate that
this bill repeating one he had pass
ed in a former session, had brought
considerable censure on him and he
asked the senate to back him in
tabling it. The senate backed beau
tifully.
Two house bills were passed by
the senate, one creating a munich
pal court for Helena, and the other
the Hardage bill requiring the
printing to be let by the state print
ing board, for publications under
the initiative and referendum, and
to the lowest bidder.
Considerable valuable argument
was loosened on the senate on
whether or not the Cazort statewide
tick eradication bill should go to
the judiciary or agricultural COM
mittee. There were some who
fought points of law in it, while
others thought it appealed only to
the agricultural, the judiciary ad-
vocates finally triumphinS.
The senate then read local bills
that had been sent over previously
in the day, before reaching the
Caldwell digest bill.
Before adjourning President Da-
venport named the following as the
senate members of the committees
which on Wednesday night will

Bullets Outrun Sound.

In the firing line ii has been no
ticed often that bullets travelling at
high speed produce two sounds. A
man fired at from about 400 yards
hears first vicious crash, says An
swers, London. That is the bullet
passing. A little later the report
of the rifle comes along.
The speed of sound has, in fact,
been beaten by the speed of rifle
bullets. Modern military rifle bull
lets, when fired, travel at from O.
900 to 5000 feet in. one second.
Sound can travel along only at l.
100 feet a second.
So it happens that when man
who il fired at hears the report of
a rifle he knows he is safe-at least,
from that particular shot.
1t is naturally at long ranges
that the two distinct sounds are
most noticeable. At range of l.
600 yards a bullet arrives at least
G second, and sometimes more, in
advance of the report.
The sound of the flying bullet is
caused by a vacuum at its rear.
The air thrown fiercely back from
the nose of the projectile travels
round and rushes to the rear, as
water to the stern of fast moving
boat.
Thus a crash is produced, or, in
certain cases-a kind of whining
snarl like no other sound on earth.

AshdoWn Youths

Ashdown, Jan. 16.-At the con-

alias Mayfield, were found guilty OF
assault upon Geraldine and Pearl
Ray, negro girls, aged 16 and IA,
and sentenced to life Imprisonment.

girls, was given the same sentence

of the three will appeal.

The assault upon the two ne
crosses was the climax of a wild
might in the woods near AshdOwn,
where the three youths held up,
tied, held captive and terrorized
more than a dozen negroes last No
vember.
The conviction of these two
youths concludes the longest crimi-
nal docket ever completed here.
During the term of court three men
were sent to the penitentiary for
life, a negro was sentenced to be
electrocuted, and seven were sent
to the penitentiary for short terms.
