wOMANs PLAN TO AID IN WAR.
Would Have Each Farmers Wife
 Plant One Acre for Food

Little Rock, Feb. s. Mrs. c. K. FL liott of Rison has suggested to Gov ernor Brough a plan which he will lay before the Councils of Defense, and take up with the proper author ities at Washington to inaugurate 1t as national movement. Her idea is that each farmer shall give his wife an acre of land for food pro- auction. the tenants to donate their services t0 work the acre under the direction of the farmers wife, the entire proceeds to go to war relief work. Each boy in the country or in small towns shall be given a pig to raise, tke meat to be set aside for feeding our soldiers. Mrs. Elliott estimates that this plan if generally adopted would make tremendous amount of food products available for military purposes. IL is esti- mated that 5000 of the 300000 farm er's wives in the state would be in- terested in the project.

NAMES ZBYSZKO AS
WORLDS GREATEST
BEFORE AUDIENCE

Des Moines. Feb. 2-One OF the
things Earl Caddock. champion 'wrest-
Ter of the world. hopes to do in his
coming match with Wladek Zbyszko in
the Coliseum q week from tonight, is
to convince not only Zbyszko and his
manager, but also Doctor Roller, that
he is the best grappler in the game
today.
Doctor Roller is one of the best
known veteran American wrestlers
Caddock met and threw him in the
New York tournament in December.
Following his defeat the doctor grac-
iously stepped to the center of the mat.
addressed the spectators and in very
f1attering terms announced that he
considered the Iowan the best heavy
weight wrestler in the world.
Following the match Caddock caught
a choo-cho and hurried back to Camp
Dodge to resume his duties as pri-
vate in the headquarters troop. A
few nights later Roller wrestled
Wladek Zbyszko and was defeated
again. For second time he addressed
the crowd, but this time he stated that
he considered Zbyszko the greatest
wrestler in the world and said that
Caddock would not have a chance to
win.
The Iowan is now matched to Crap
pie with the big Pole in bout which
| will decide the worlds championship
definitely and which incidentally will
either prove or disprove Doctor Rol-
ler's statements made in his second
talk

face being superior to that found on
any river. The fremen worked near

surface was obtained. About fifty
people have appeared every evening
to enjoy the sport and several hundred
more would no doubt go II they knew
OF the rink being located there.
The f1remen OF station No. also
constructed a smaller rink near the
station at Thirtieth street and FIJI
teenth avenue early this winter.
