Market.

Chicag go. June 13.-Fine weather and
prosnects that it wonld continue during
at least two days gave an advantage
today to the bears in corn. Liberal
receipts tended also to weaken prices

general selling by commission houses

POOR SERVICE DUE TO
 SCARCITY OF LINEMEN

Little Rock, May 4.-The telephone company is putting in some additional switchboard units, and when these are completed, will have a maximum ca pacity of 12,0O0 telephones. This re- quires 300 operators, and there are 25 additional operators being trained to fill in vacancies. There has been a great deal of complaint about poor service, but the company explains that this is due to inexperienced oper- ators, the scarcity of linemen to keep the lines in repair, and an increase in the traffic from an average of ten calls a day to fifteen, and the popula- tion has increased from 60,000 to more than 100000, all using the same phones. The company is 200 line men short in the state, and exper- fenced men are daily becoming scarcer.

 After leaving the hospital it is pre- sumed that she met her former peni- tentiary acquaintance, who had served his sentence and who had been re- leased in the meantime.
 The next heard of her was her ar rest in Arkansas City. After having been sharply questioned by Deputy Sheriff J. R. Shelton of Arkansas City, she admitted she was a woman.
 Her friend, now being held for a new prosecution for his escapade, told who she was and prison authorities were communicated with. Mrs. Ger ard, however, has maintained silence. When she was returned to prison she still wore her mans attire. Her hair had been cut close to her head.
 Mrs. Gerrard's sentence originally was 10 years, but Governor Brough cut it to. one. Her husband, arrested with her at Prescott, was never con- victed. 1t is not known what has be- come of him.-Arkansas Democrat.

I||DGE 1. (. SMITH SPEAKS IN PRESCOTT
,adress isComposed Largely of Auuk %ttacks of Record of Present Incumbent-Denies Being a Whiskey Candidate.

Headed by the Prescott oand' a
 -odo formed at the depot upon the ~.;val yesterday afternoon of Judge z. Smith of Dewitt, candidate for
 .,-,or of the state of Arkansas, and marched to the court house where tbe judge addressed a fair sized audi ence.
 uo was introduced by Hon. T. C. NcRae, who said that the present covernor's race is a turnover" race' I,oouse at the last election Dr. Chas. Rroueh was elected governor and ,ndoe Smith was second, with close third in the person of Earl w. Hodoes. ex-secretary of state. MT. McRae said that this race would tell ,ba tale of who is the best man.
 Judpe Smith opened his address with shower of compliments for Nevada county in general and for the ladies especially, whom he said he had learned to love at young age. He then made mention of number of resolutions which were passed be- fore he announced for governor, by inc women's clubs of the state in which they opposed his candidacy for the office which he is seeking, be- cause he said, of the statewide report that he was a whiskey candidate. This statement Judge Smith emphati- cally denied, saying that he was never for whiskey and had always voted ac- cordingly since his mother instructed h;m to do so when he became of age.
 The speaker then launched out on a broad attack on the official record of Governor Brough, among the criti- cisms he made were the pardoning re- cord, the appointing power, the large appropriations of the last legislature, the new offices created, the text book law and few others which he said he would remedy when he became gover- nor, by elimination. Gov. Brough's $ poetic ability was repeatedly the ob- ject of the speakers jokes, number Of which he used throughout his talk. Hs expressed himself as being in favor of sentencing a governor to the penitentiary when he broke his prom ses.
 Judge Smith related in detail his hrst love affair which although rather lehs1hy Was very interesting. lie then proceeded to give history of his political life, from the time he was hrst elected sheriff of his home coun- " 10 the present day. He criticised severely the text book law and the

FRENCH STRIKE HARD
 BLOW AGAINST HUNS
 ON SOUTHERN FRONT
Take Initiative on Battlefield Southeast of Enthusiastically Wood on Avre River is Also Wrested From Enemy.

London, May 3.-"In local fighting last night south of Villers-Breton- neux," says Field Marshal Haig's communication issued tonight, "our troops cooperated with the French and secured few prisoners.
 "The enemy artillery showed con- siderable activity this morning north of Albert, in the Beaumont Hamel sector. Apart from artillery activity on both sides of the other parts of the front, there is nothing to report"
 Paris, May 3.-The French made an attack late yesterday on the front be- tween Hailles and Castel, southeast of Amiens, and captured Hill 82 and the wood on the Avre River nearby, the war office announces.
 The statement follows.
 "In the region south of Villers- Bretonneux there was violent artillery firing by both of the cOmbatants. as well as falrly spirited infantry en- agreements near the monument, in the course of which the French troops gained some ground.
 South of the Avre the French late yesterday carried out local opera tion which met with perfect success. Our troops attacked the German posi- tions between Hailles and Castel Ca front of about IA miles.) We took possession of Hin 92 and the wood bordering on the Avre. The number of prisoners taken exceeds 100, includ- ing four officers.
 ''In the region of the Ailette the French repulsed a German raiding party. French reconnoitering detach- ments were active, especially in the Woevre and in Lorraine, bringing | back prisoners"

SAYS 5,000,000:000
 MEN MUST BE SENT
 BY AMERICA THIS YEAR
Senator McCumber Declares Re- suits of United States Work Have Been Almost Negligible Up to the Present.

1 Washington, May 3.-Five million men must be sent on the battle front ] by the United States within a year, 1 Senator McCumber of North Dakota. declared today in an address to the senate which reviewed America's work during it's first year in the war. The results of America's efforts have been almost negligible up to the pres ent,, he said. Six months have been wasted by the shipping board and $64O,000,000 for aircraft "has been worse than squandered."
 "If we fail to put less than 5,OOO,- 900 men on the fighting line before the end of another year," he contin- ued, "we will again have grossly | failed to measure up to our moral duty. We will have charged to our discredit another year of colossal blunders."
 Senator McCumber entrusted statement of President Schwab of the emergency fleet corporation that the U. s. would produce ship tonnage of only 10,000,000 dead weight in 1919 with the estimates of the U-boat losses of 7,0OO,OOO gross tons in 1918 and said:
 "A program which contemplates but 1O.O00,000 tonnage is trifling with the most serious question that ever con- fronted the people of this country. It is worse than trifling, it is suicidal.
 "Our only hope of winning this war is in being able to keep our allies in the field supplied with food. If we cant get armies into the field, let us at least send food and munitions to those who are fighting our battles"
 As preface to his conclusions Sen ator McCumber asserted what we had lacked most was the foresight and de- termination to get up and be doing, 'while the flying sparks of that great world war threatened to produce a confagration that might force us on the firing line"
 "We seem to have gotten so bewild- cred in maze of little things that we have lost sight of the great require ments," he said.
 ''The failure of our shipping board is the most aggravating example of failure to graps the situation"
 Unparalleled extravaganza along every line of national endeavor, was another reason of failure, the North Dakota senator contended.
 "We have been literally burning up the money which the tax payers have cheerfully paid to create and support a fighting army" he charged. "While we can't win this war without buying Liberty Bonds, neither can we win it by making bonfres of the money re- ceived from Liberty Bonds"
 The buster of the public press, he said, which has grossly exaggerated everything in our favor, had been an- other factor in the delay.

compulsory education law, stating that the bids by which the school books contract was let were a steal. He was also opposed to letting the contracts to foreign" northern con- cerns. The state tax commission also came in for a share of the speakers upbraidings, and he said that when he IS elected governor he will knock out both the tax commission and the rail road commission. Judge Smith said that he is absolutely sure of election and knew beyond a doubt before he entered the race that he would be the next governor of the State of Ar kansas. He was heartily cheered when he said that all that he had was at the disposal of the government in the time of war. Governor Brough, he said, should be touring the state with him and defending his official re- cord instead of going about the state making patriotic speeches in favor of the third Liberty Loan.
 After Judge Smiths address D. L. King of Lewisville, candidate to sue ceed G. R. Haynie as circuit judge, very eloquently announced his candi- dacy by expressing apparent surprise at the fact that Judge Haynie is in the race. The crowd kept in a merry mood throughout Mir. Kings talk by the Imaginable stories for which he is noted. Judge Haynie answered his opponent in a few remarks, clearing away any doubt as to whether he was running or not.
