BANK ROBBERS GET
 s6,OO0 AT MALVERN
Cashier and Clerk of First Ma tiOnal Locked in Vault-POsse Said to Have Bandits Sur
 rounded on Farm Near Town.

Malvern, June 12.-The First Ma tional Bank of this city was robbed this afternoon of approximately $6000
 Two robbers, described as about 30 years of age, and having the appear ance of Italian working men, entered the bank at o'clock and, with guns in their hands, ordered Cashier H. L. Mcdonald, Assistant Cashier Rommie Cornell and Bank Clerk Worthan Jones to throw up their hands, the command being instantly complied with. The robbers then produced gunny sack and dragged therein everything in sight in the way of money.
 Having filled their sack with loot they then forced the bank employees into the vault, from which they were liberated 10 minutes ater by County Treasurer L. F. Cash, who had heard the signals of distress from within the vault.
 The robbers left the town in a car and, it is thought, entered the Mill tary Road three miles north of town.
 The losses of the bank are fully protected by burglary insurance
 A party here, suspected as being a lookout for the thieves, has since been arrested He asserted that he was travelling through the country when his car was communicated by the robbers and he was tied therein and released at point three miles north of town. His story, however, is not believed.
 Sheriff Stanley and a, large posse are in pursuit. The latest report is that the robbers are surrounded near the Griggs farm, three miles north of town.
 This bank was robbed in a similar manner in 1916, but the losses at that time were less than $1,000.

SAW MILLS OF STATE
 ARE BUYING MOTOR TRUCKS

Little Rock, June 13.-"The saw mills of the state evidently have all become convinced at once that the motor truck is money saver for them," states Frank Reed, distributor of federal trucks in Arkansas, "from the manner in which they have been purchasing them in the past ten days. We have sold one or more a day, and it is now question of getting a suf- fcient number of trucks to supply the demand.
 'We sold two cars to mill in Waldo yesterday, both of them four ton capacity. Gillette and Cotton Plant mills have taken two more, and I never saw so many inquiries in my life. When the war is over the mule and the horse will be used for blowing only on the farms too small to pur- chase tractor, or use the neighbor's s economically. The tractor will by that time so conclusively show that it does the work cheaper, that the live stock will be out of the running"

LABOR COMMISSIONER
 DISCOVERS REAL ARCADIA

Little Rock, June 13.-The real Arcadia, that land of milk and honey, has been uncovered by Deputy Labor Commissioner Mckinley in Crossett Labor has become such scarce ar ticle that the Department of Labor every day receives requests asking for assistance in securing workmen. Crossett, the home of the Crossett Lumber Company, one of the largest of Arkansas concerns, was the first town in the state to be made malaria proof. It is mosquitoless and fyless, has Y. M, c. A. building with mod ern equipment and swimming pool that is open to the employees of the company, has play grounds, and schools and hospitals that are as good as any in the state. The company writes that it will pay from $275 to $5 per day for laborers, according to their ability. The big item in Cros- sett is the house rent, for three room houses are supplied to the employees at $4.50 per month, and four room houses bring only S6. This is truly paradise when compared to Little Rock where such houses rent for four times this amount.

brought here today by a Danish steamship which picked them up at sea after they had been sent adrift in their small boats.
 Eighty tons of copper ingots, part of the cargo of the Vindeggen, were taken aboard the U-boat before the steamship was sunk by means of bombs.
 The vessel was stopped by the sub marine on June 6 and the crew was obliged to unload the copper into the ships small boats and transfer it to the U-boat. Then the small boats were taken in town until the Henrik Lund was sighted on June 10.
 The Henrik Lund was from Nor folk for New York. Stopped by the submarine, the crew of this ship was likewise ordered into small boats and the ship sent to the bottom by bombs. Then the two crews were taken in tow and when the Danish vessel was sighted, according to their story, the submarine cut them adrift and sub merged.
 The Vindeggen was bound here from South American port, her copper being consigned to the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining Company.
 The destruction of these two ships makes four flying the Norwegian flag which have been victims of German submarines in American waters. The two others were the Vinland, sunk June 5, and the Eidsvold, sunk June 9, both off the Virginia Capes.

 WORKED BY WOMEN

Little Rock, June 13.-State Labor Commissioner Ben D.
