bill. Mrs. Skipper, who lives across
from the Lake Morton school building,
was out for. the day, returning home
about o'clock in the afternoon, when
she discovered that the kitchen screen
door had been pried open with d
board and in a bedroom were found
all of Mr.. Shippers clothes in heap,
where the thief had, gone through
them, There was no money in these
clothes, but dollar bill, left On the
dresser, was missing. This was ali
that had been taken, as far as could
be discovered. Mrs. Growers burg
lar called about o'clock. Mrs. Groov-
er was upstairs and heard some one
come in the front way, and she called
down to know who it was. A swift
clatter down the front steps was her
only answer, and neighbor told Mrs.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES
 AND REMANDS BRIGGS CASE

The case of Lucy Jones against Frances Briggs was reversed and re- manded by the supreme court today. This case was tried at the last July term of the circuit court here. The land belonged to Scott Jones, a negro, who belonged to thefather of ex- Governor Dan W. Jones. Scott died several years ago and left 160 acres of land near Emmet. At the trial the main question was whether Lucy was an heir of Scott Jones. The evidence convinced the jury that she was; and the claim was made that she had waited too long to assert her rights. Lucy Jones got verdict in the circuit court and the supreme court has re- versed this judgment and has sent the case back for a new trial.

SHOULD ORGANIZE TOWN
 SHIPS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Little Rock, Feb. 18.-The experi- ence of the first nine months of Americas participation in the war has clearly demonstrated that the primary task of the State Council of Defense and the state divisions of the Women's Committee is to mobilize and make available behind the war the efforts of the whole people, and that this must be done by an effec- tive organization reaching into the smallest communities.
 The growth of local auxiliaries of the State Council has been very rapid. The statewide organization of county and other local councils of de- fense has passed the experimental stage and has fully proven it's value. Practically every county in Arkansas has been organized, and it is now proposed that the organization be carried into the township and the school district. Experience indicates that individual citizens can be most successfully reached through organi- cations subsidiaray to the county councils in communities of such small size as to permit of personal contact with all members of the community.
 The advantages of the school dis trict as unit of community organiza- tion are stated as follows:
 The school district is small enough to permit individual contact and is non-political
 The school house supplies a meet ing place in each district, and in many schools includes domestic science, manual training, and other facilities.
 The school district reaches children and parents alike, and in the cities the school is to large extent already in touch with the alien population.
 The school is an established center of information and education.
 The school principal or faculty pro- vides a tried agency throueh whose assistance community orgeo;aaton can be quickly effected.
 The school district with fhe 7chocl house as it's center, is already social community especially in farm dis tricts.

WAYS OF PROVIDENCE
 ARE PAST FINDING OUT

Little Rock, Feb. 18.-Fate con- tinues to play strange pranks with mankind. And the ways of Provi- dence are past finding out. A young man from Little Rock, Harper Harb, is with the 1 87th Aero squadron in the Michigan camp. Early in Janu- ary, he wrote that hiss quadron and the 188th, in the same camp, had been ordered abroad. The 18Sth was aboard the Tuscania, and several of the members were lost, among them some from Arkansas. But for some reason, the i87th did not go, and is probably still in camp. Young Harb writes that a number of his "bunkies" have already gone over.

 To tax his mind and temper, too. He has to know when loans are due, What source to get his billions thru; What fund to pass each dollar to, Which tax is what, and who is who; What bands to sell and what renew, Which trust to coax and which to sue He stretches out each day to two, To do the things he has to do.
