FOOD RAISING
 CAMP PAIGN ON
10 Government Agriculturists Go to Territory Assigned to Them.-Planters to
 CO-Operate.

Little Rock, April 12.-The Arkan- sas Profitable Farming Bureau yes terday received the following message from Representative w. s. Goodwin of the Seventh district, who now is in Washington:
 "In less than year the world will be on the verge of starvation unless greater feed and food products are grown. Fullest cooperation between business men and farmers now is i'm. perative No time should be lost in seeing that farmers receive all needed assistance. Command me at all times"
 Organization of county committees to push the campaign for the raising of more food crops in the South dur ing the war will be begun in every cot ton growing county in Arkansas by the end of the week under the schedule arranged by the Campaign Commit tee Many business men and specialists Of the United States Department or Agriculture left Little Rock yesterday to start the campaign over the state. Leading men in several counties have started the organization in their own territory.
 The appeal being made is that all producers shall raise sufficient food and feed crops to supply their own needs and a small surplus and then
 raise all the cotton possible be-
 cause of the demand that will arise 1 later. It is recommended that farmers
 plan their food and feed acreages on
 basis of possible adverse weather in
 stead of basing it on the expectation
 of a favorable season.

URGENT LETTER
Harry F. kapps, District Agent, Write.
 Urgent Letter to Local Agent.

G. NJ. Johnston, local demonstration agent, Thursday received the follow ing urgent letter from Harry F. Kapps district agent:
 Dear MT. Johnston:
 Our nation is involved in the world wide war. As agricultural men we call upon you to see that the food SUD- ply of our nation shall be ample not only to feed ourselves but our armies that may go to the front and our European Allies as we'll.
 It is a great national crisis. The South has been importing annually from $5OO,O0O,OO0 to $1OO,OOO 900, ,OOO of food and feed products. Arkansas share of this is about $65,OOO,OOO. We must produce this ourselves in order that the rest of the world may be fed. We should not ask the North and West to supply it. The railways will be used to transport men, munitions and food to the front. It is extremely doubtful if we could get food and feed supplies sent to our state if we did attempt to buy it.
 Let it be your duty to urge your people to produce all their food and feed. Fight for this day and night, Do not let up. We will supply you with facts and literature and help you all we can-but get busy. Every man,

EXPLOSION IN A
 NIUNITION PLANT
liz Die-121, Most of them Women, Are Injured at Chester, Penn.-
 Cause Not KnOWn-Find
 No Evidence of Plot.

Chester, Pa, April 10-One hundred and twelve persons, most of them Wo- men and girls, are known to have lost their lives and 121 were injured by a series of terrific explosions In the shrapnel building of the Eddystone Ammunition Corporation at Eddystone one mile from here, today. Many of the injured were mortally hurt and it is expected the death list will reach 15O while others will probbabbbbbbb 150 while others will probably be maimed for life.
 How any of the 300 or more en- ployes in the building, in which were stored approximately 30,0O0 shells, es- capped is almost beyond conception. Scarcely fragment of the structure was left intact Fire added to the horror and most of the bodies were so badly charred that Identification was impossible
 In the absence of any official state ment many theories were advanced as to the cause of the disaster one of the worst ever experienced in this sec tion. Rumors of plots and arrests of persons both inside and outside of the plant were numerous. but all lacked confirmation.

The Little River news., 1917-04-14

Chester, Pa, April 11.-A statement today by high official of the Eddy stone Ammunition Corporation placed the blame of yesterdays disastrous explosion the worst in the history of the state, on disloyal employe who it is believed, sacrificed his life with the l16 known dead, most of whom were girls and young women
 The amazing developments late today spurred on the Investigations of the catastrophe. Many suspects were rounded up here, in Philadelphia, in Villa Nova, Pa, and in Camden and in each case the depositions was plac- ed in the hands of the department of Justice at Philadelphia. The arrests so far, however, have apparently furnish ed no tangible clue.
 "WaS DiabOlical Plot"
 The statement of the company's representative who declined to permit the use of his name said that the tragedy "was the result of a diabolical plot, conceived in the degenerate brain Of demon in human guise," and that the triple explosion was due to bomb manufactured by one of the employees from hell. This official refused to disclose further details He said that it would have been possible for workman to carry on plot in the midst of unsuspecting employees, par tlcularly the women engaged in the packing of time fuses in the structure which was wrecked.
 Unless the bomb was timed he said that the plotter must have met the same fate as the rest of the victims.

BRITISH DRIVE ON DESPITE SNOW
Advance Two to Six Miles in Arras
 Sector Near Cambria.

New York, April 1).-"On to the Douai-Cambria line' evidently is the slogan of the British forces fighting in France. Despite strong resistance by the Germans and the added handi- cap of heavy snowstorm the British forces, notably the Canadians, have again hit the German line hard at sev- eral points for good gains along the front from Vimy southward and also to the west of Cambria.
 Five miles east of Arras the Brit ish have reached thr suburbs of Mon- chy-le-Prex and northeast of Arras have driven the Germans from the vil- lage of Farbus and the Farbus wood, while to the immediate north of this sector the Canadians, in hard fight ing, took additional important posi- tions on the famous Vimy ridge and captured prisoners and machine guns. Ten miles west of Campria the British have established their line to the north of the village of Louveral

SPENDS DAY IN
PLANE, AOR|F I.
Lieut.. McIlvane Lost in Fog
Over Bay, Drifts About
For Nine Hours

Spending the day in drifting ain
plane, on Pensacola bay, with scout
ing speed boats cruising around the
harbor looking for him, was the
unique experience of Lieut.. McIlvane
yesterday morning.
Leaving the aeronautic station in a
Tson1as tractor for short flight,
Lieut.. McIlvane went over toward
The Sound, when his carburetor be-
came disarranged and he was forced
to land. A light fog was then spring
ing up, and soon completely en-
veloped him. Becoming denser, it
was impossible for him to signal.
Alarmed at his failure to return
boats were sent, but could not find
him.
Without anchor, and being unable
to steer the craft, the machine drift
ed about the bay, wherever the tide
directed. When found about sever
O'Clock last night, the airplane was
about two miles east of Muscogee
wharf, and was towed to the sta
tion by private launch which found
it. Lieut.. MeIlvane was uninjured

Manufacture Of Leather
Promises to Develop In

Excellent leather may be made
from the skin of grouper, shark or
porpoise, and every pound of the pro-
duct, heretofore cast out to be CON
verted into other by products, or else
thrown away altogether, is now being
carefully preserved and shipped to
tanneries, the latter places having
notified Frank z. Welles, of the
Saunders Fish Company, that the
skins are easily convertible into the
very best thin leather, and that they
will take all procurable.
Mr.. Welles stated last evening that
he is shipping barrel after barrel tc
tanneries, and that, it is possible, In
time, the tanning of these skins viii
be made a local industry. He does
not promise the installation of such
| a plant Immediately, but does look
| forward to placing one here in thu
| future.
While in the east recently, Mr.
Welles called upon leather manufac-
turers and was informed that skin Of
several species of fish mentioned

prove very acceptable leather fol

tiers, and the controlling head of then
was the man who impaired such Snfor

it is not substitute, but real valued
leather, and will probably figur'
! largely in lessening the leather short

the Druid is said to make II knots
with oil burners. it is thought q
knots can be shaken out of her. Thai
oil burners viii be installed, Mr.
