GILBERT STRONG FOR
 THE SORGHUM PLANT
Bi-prOducts of Peanuts and Potatoes Should Appeal to the Small Far mer for Summer Cash.

''The advantage to Pine Bluff to come with the establishment of the Ft. Scott Sorghum plant are too ap- parent to need enlargement, said MT. w. E. Gilbert to the Industrial committee of the Chamber of Com merce Tuesday night. MT. Gilbert had just arrived from St. Louis to look after his farming interest near here. He recently purchased the Herndale farm on which he is de- veloping the stock and truck indus try.
 "But the bi-products of the plant gre such that most people have un- doubtedly overlooked.. The man:lfac- ture of peanut and potato products should appeal to the small farmer. The possibilities of the humble pea nut have never been realized by the average men. Many food products of the most wholesome kind can be man. ufacturmed from the goober. It has always been a profitable crop, sell ing at a greater profit. at all times than any crop the farmer can pro- duce. Then it is one of the greatest fertilizer crops that can be raised and will flourish on the poorest land.
 1t seems to mo that every small farmer would gladly pledge as many acres to secure the plant as they can conveniently cultivate. lit will fur nish ready for market for summer crops, and give him cash at a time when he needs it most Secretary Bloom stated last night that the com- mittees would go into the field to- day, and make last effort. to secure the pledges. Mr. Richardson stated he would advise his campanv to hold the proposition open for few days longer. as he felt sure the required acreage would be pledged

MAY SINK GERMAN FLEET AND THUS
 AVOID CONFUSION

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Danish minister at Petrograd has left that city accompanied by the military per sonnel of his legation and is return ing to Denmark, according to advices received today at the state depart ment follows that of the Norwegian Legation staff from Petrograd
 Paris, Dec 18-England, through Sir Eric Geddes, first Lord of the Admiralty, had previously acquiesced in the American plan to destroy the captured or surrendered warships, and, it is declared. will continue to support the United States, although it is expected that some of the less- CT powers will demand that the priz- es be distributed.
 American naval stations will be maintained for ot least a year at Brest, Gibraltar and in the Azores to render aid to American merchant ships. The consent of France, Eng land and Portugal has already been secured. The aero and radio stations at these points will be in readiness to respond to calls for aid by Ameri- can shipping in distress and facili- ties will be afforded for needed re- pairs and supplies.
 Although the plans have not been developed, it is believed in naval circles that the shipping board de- sires the continuance of the manning of it's ships with naval officers and crews until private capital is organiz- ed to undertake the great task of operating thousands of merchant vessels. The other naval establish ments in Europe have been ordered abandoned as rapidly as possible and progress in this direction has already been considerable. The United States navy had 27 aero stations along the European coast, the material of which except at Brest, Gibraltar and the Azores is being shipped home. Naval transports. relieved of carry ing munitions, will hereafter convey food supplies.
 It is expected that the army will also soon be able to use number of it's transports similar on Eastern voy- ages.
 Consolidation of the naval per- sonnel has been ordered to proceed rapidly on the basis of the transfer to the reserve lists of men and rapid ly on the basis of the transfer to the reserve lists of men and officers of good character and physique. The is calculated, will absorb as large as preparation of such reservists is desired.

ARKANSAS PREPARING
 FOR RECONSTRUCTION
Lumbermen Offer Government Option On Land for Homes for Soldiers At Meeting in Little Rock Tuesday,

Little Rock, Dec. 1S.-Plans for Ar kansas participation in the govern ments great plan for providing farms for returning soldiers and sailors and idle war workers were gotten under way at an enthusiastic meeting at the Hotel Marion Tuesday.
 Fourteen lumbermen, owners of great tracts of cut-over lands, at tended the meeting and unanimously agreed that they would give the gov ernment options on their lands. The meeting made it certain that if the governments project is carried out and this seems assured--100,00O acres of Arkansas land will be converted into farms under the direction of skilled government engineers and az riculturists.
 D. w. Ross, engineer for the Recla- nation Service of the United States Department of the Interior, explained that the bill providing for the farm project has not yet been introduced in Congress. When introduced the bill must specify the exact tracts to be improved. Therefore, it, will he necessary to stipulate the tracts in Arkansas that would be made into farms under the bill. This explains the necessity of securing options at once.
 The government plan stipulates that 1 the 100000 acres need not all be in one tract, but no tract of less than | 25,O00 acres can be considered. This will make it possible to improce four tracts of 25,000 acres each in Arkan- /, sas and this will be done if possible. The options will be secured by a committee of the State Council of De- fense of which Fred Heiskell, man. aging editor of the Gazette, is chair man. As soon as all possible options are secured, 8 selecion of the lands to be embraced in Arkansas 10000 acres will be made.
 The lumbermen present at yester- days meeting said that they were glad, to cooperate in the government plan and to give options, and they made it plain that they have no de- sire to hold their cut-over lands, off the market. They have been selling to settlers and at what they consid-- cred low prices.
 l The option which the lumbermen will sign was drawn up by Wallace Townsend and c. T. Coleman, mem- bers of the committee appointed by the State Council of Defense. MT. Ross was so impressed by it that he said it would be offered as a model in all the other states where govern ment improvement projects are car ried out.
 Teh form of the option is as fol- lows:
 Option Contract
 In consideration of the sum of $1 cash in hand paid, the undersign- ed herebf grants to Fred Heiskell, trustee. an option to purchase, at the price Of $--------------pe acre, pay able in cash on the delivery of war ranty deed in the usual form, and as abstract showing a 1nerchantable title in the undersigned, sthe following del scribed lands county, Arkansas. to-wit:
