 It is we'll known that practically all of the characters, in the book ac- tually lived in the Ozarks. It was from that he received the inspiration for his book.
 Scores of people in Pine Bluff and throughout Arkansas remember the Harold Bell Wright of other days. The story of his transition from a wandering landscape painter to a clergyman and later an author who has since become famous in an inter- esting one.
 Mir. Wright wandered to the Ozarks to paint landscapes, not that he was much of an artist, but living was cheap in the hills and the young man had just left college a year before graduation for lack of funds. He had supported himself previously as a painter and decorator. He went one Sunday to hear a circuit rider who was to preach in little log school house. The preacher failed to appear and after an awkward pause, a tall m0untaineer, cOatless. his trousers in his boots, slapped Wright on the

SHERIFF STARTS CAMPAIGN TO
 CLEAN UP CITY
Three Houses Raided and Four Women Held on
 Vagrancy Charge.

Sheriff c. M. Nichol, last night, made the first of his "clean up" cam paigns when he, with four of his de- puties, assisted by the constable, raided three bawdy houses in the West end of town, and arrested four negro women charged with run ming disorderly houses. The women were, Estelle Smith. S07 Scull street; Johnnie Robinson, 805 Scull street; Georgia Streeter, 805 Scull street, and Mamie Stachier, SIT Scuil street. They were arrested on two charges each, vagrancy and running and disor- derly house. They were lodged in the county jail last night.
 The officers who were in the raid were, Sheriff Curran Nichol, Deputy Sheriff's Frank Miner, West Bald win, John Gavin, J. l.. McBurnett, and Constable Ben Brannon.
 Sheriff Nichol has announced that he is going to wage an unrelenting war against all of the dsorderly houses in the city. His deputies have received their instructions, and ac- cording to them, wholesale clean up is going to be made in Pine Bluff. Raids will follow the raid last night and they will continue until they are all cleaned out" as one deputy ex- pressed it.

Wilson Remains Firm.

President Wilson, according to Paris reports reaching Washington, still remains firm on the Adriatic problem and has not agreed to the proposal to give Plume to Italy after 192.
 In speech Saturday at the Acad- emy of moral and political sciences, the president said that America was ready to defend liberty wherever and whenever it was threatened. Friday night in a dinner address, the presi- dent said the war had given new impetus to international law and made it more important than it had been previously. The president, it is said, in Paris, will be back in Wash ington about June 18th.
 Some changes in the German-Aus- trian peace delegation are reported from Vienna as result of the decis- ion of the Austrians that it was hope less to look forward to union with Germany. Chancellor Renner, of the Vienna government, probably will succeed Franz Klein as chairman of the. delegation. which is expected in Paris about Wednesday,. :

SECOND LEG OF LONG

62 knots an hour, according to un- official calculations. If that average is maintainew, Punta Del Gado could be reached in less than 22 hours of flying, and Lisbon, Portugal, the first European stop, is only 800 nautical miles from that place.
 Undoubtedly, it was said, the off cers and men aboard the planes will need rest and the machines need thorough overhauling before the actual flight for Europe is started. Preparations of the department, how ever, have been completed already and very brief notice would be requir- ed to set the radio signals of the sta- tion ships between Trepassey and the Azores going, providin gthe audible guide posts for the air cruisers.
 The test of this device under the actual service conditions of the flight to Trepassey is said to have been en- tirely satisfactory results.

shoulder and said,. "Say young feller, you seem to have some eddication. Kain't you give us spell O talko"
 That was the beginning of Mir. Wrights career as preacher. He came ultimately to Forest Ave. church in Kansas City. Soon, as he said, he had found a more attractive way of preaching-through his novels.
 He resigned the ministry and went into the Ozarks, where he wrote "The Shepherd of the Hills," Subse- quently he emerged, and is now living on sun-drenched ranch in Arizona. Many offers were made to him for the moving picture rights to his books. He finally consented to have them put into films, but with the stipulation that he would do it him. self. That he is successful at this is indicated by the phenomenal business being done by his first big film story "The Shepherd of the Hills," which was taken in the very Ozark scenes where the book was written.

 The NC-1, piloted by Lieutenant Commander P. N. L. Bellinger, swooped down into the harbor at 6:41 p. m., Greenwich time, having made the flight in six hours and 50 minutes, at an average speed of 65 nautical, or "A land miles an hour. The NC-3 piloted by Commander John T. Towers, commander of the flight, arrived at 10:31 p. m., Green wich time, having been compelled to put back to Halifax for propeller re- pairs after flying 50 miles from the harbor. It's flying time on the sue cessful trip was six hours and 56 minutes, or two minutes more than that of the NC-1.
 Both planes appeared to be in the best of condition upon their arrival and officers and crews expressed confidence that the two "hops" across the Atlantic to Lisbon, Portugal, would be made without difficulty.
 Weather conditions permitting, it is expected that the flight to the Azores, distance of 1900 miles, would be attempted next week.
