Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way TO get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its value

you use, however, care must be taken not
TO contract second cold before you have
recovered from the first one. and there is
serious danger of this. man of middle
age or older should go to bed and stay

to STAY in bed three days at the start

63 TRUE BILLS
 ARE RETURNED
 BY GRAND JURY
Indictments Are Returned as Result of Alleged $20,0OO
 Swindle.

Sixty-three true bills were return ed by the grand jury yesterday, as the result of two-day sitting, four of these being against Arthur James Eek. growing out of the charge of J. G. Mink of Springfield, H., that Eek and several confederates swindled him of S2O,0O0 on fake rice farm trans action. Eck's bond was fixed at $10,., 900 in each case. Charges against four were dismissed, including the complaint against John Burks, young travelling man accused of panderlng as the result of an alleged trip to Little Rock with Mrs. Joe Rodgers. It is understood that Mrs. Rodgers, who was the only witness for the state, denied Burk was guilty of any wrong.
 Twenty-three of the indictments returned are against parties held in the county jail. These are: Arthur James Eek, indicted twice for grand larceny, once for robbery and once for false pretense in connection with the $2O,OO0 swindle: George Battles, charged with first degree murder for killing his granddaughter when she intervened in behalf of Battles wife, the homicide occurring near Wabba- seka: Joe eBolden. two indictions for grand larceny; George Haley, en- bezzlement: John A. Austin, four in- dictments for grand larceny; Eman- uel Shaw, Will Howard, Clifton Ford, Wm. Murray and Metsie Clark, grand larceny: Fred Davis three indictments for forgery and uttering; Lawrence Dixon, three indictments for grand larceny.
 Haley is the negro who is accused of embedding funds entrusted to him by colored barber named Green for deposit in local bank, while Austin is the negro alleged to have obtained considerable sporty clothing and haberdashery from local merchants by representing himself as customer and 'phoning the merchants to let the man being sent have a suit, shirts, shoes or whatever Austin fan cied at the time he was posing as a white patron of the particular store.
 In addition to dismissing the case against Burk, the jury also dismissed charges against John Shealey, accus- ed of shooting with intent to kill Ezra Lampkins; Tom Traylor, accus- ed of the theft of $50 from w. L. Miller in. Bogy township, on May II, 1919, and R. E. Simpson, who had been accused of embedding $900 from the Hall Grocery company.
 Five of the pending cases were re- ferred to the next grand jury.
 Sheriff c. M. Nichol and Deputy Sheriff J. L. McBurnett arranged last night to take into custody parties named in other indictments

Plan Sweet Potato
 Marketing Bureau

Little Rock, Sept. 20-Sweet po- tato growers of Arkansas will have a marketing bureau in Little Rock which will handle the crop for county organizations all over the state. This much was decided upon at a meeting of growers from all over Arkansas, held at the old state capitol. As for the details of the organization, they must be worked out by a special com mittee, which will report at another state meeting to be held in about ten days. In the meantime those attend ing the meeting Friday will organize county units and return with suffi- cient authority to enter into an agree ment for a central marketing bureau and an advertising campaign in the parts of the country where the Ar kansas sweet potatoes will be offered for sale.
 Senator Pat A. Rogers, of Grav- cite, manager of the Ozark Fruit Growers association, was one of the principal speakers. He declared that

 Fear Water Famine.
 All day long great throngs crowd Red Cross headquarters for supplies of clothing sent from neighboring towns. Great piles of garments of every description have been assem- bled and as they are exhausted, new shipments arrive.
 One of the city's most fashionable residences, located on the bluff over- looking the bay, was converted into an emergency hospital. Here in jured survivors were brought for treatment.
 Carload after carload of oil stoves were distributed throughout the city to take the place of gas, which now has been partially restored. Ice from surrounding towns has been sent in, ample for all purposes.
 The milk supply still is limited and is available to individuals only for children. Fruit is scarce.
 A refuge camp has been opened in the southern part of the city by the state military authorities, where hundreds of homeless have found shelter, and this will be maintained indefinitely.
 Fears that the water supply of Corpus Christi might be impaired were expressed tonight when it was report ed rise of from ten to twenty feet was coming down the Nuesces river.

unless the growers created such an agency they would lose heavily on this years crop, and probably reduce the acreage. George L. Sands, of Charleston, president of the Farmers Union, R. Of Slough, of Fort Smith, and Geo. Chambers of Dover were among the big growers favoring the organization. A. H. Moore, the Gar land county potato king was also in attendance and gave his approval.

The Washington times., 1919-01-19

Passengers wishing to make a tour would
fly from New York, say. to Spain. They
would not have to change quarters, but
would continue to sleep and eat in the
aeroplane itself, Moving from Spain they
would, perhaps, drop in on Algiers, thence
to Central or Eastern Africa, and thence
wherever they pleased-and not once would

paper the details Of the craft. These will
be discussed further in the story. Being
an aeronautlcal expert and authority on
aero-dynamics he was asked to express his
views concerning this proposed colossal
flying machine with a wing-spread as long
as five city blocks.
He said: Naval architects agree that
there is no limit to the size of a shin
Commercial demand is the sole arbiter of
size and capacity. 1t is believed that ships
of 200 feet in length are in the Immediate
future. The same calculations and the
same methods are used in both the shin
of the sea and the ship of the air.
There is no real obstacle to surmount
in building the airplane of 1000 feet wing
spread. She would be a larger shin than
usual, that Is all. In fact, the large air
plane is an easier ship to build than a
small one, because things microscopic are
much easier to handle than things micro
scopic.
