Carlisle, A City With 4 Future

Probably nowhere in the State of Arkansas is there a town with as many advantages or located with a better chance of develop ment and growth than Carlisle
 Located on the main line of the Rock Island R. R. 31 miles east of Little Rock in one of the rich est agricultural counties in the State with a citizenship unsur
 passed. Here you will find a school that every man. woman and child should be proud of, churches of all the leading de nominations, miles Of concrete sidewalk, two strong banks, and numerous stores of all kinds carrying we'll selected stocks of merchandise which would be a credit to a city several times it's size. one of the largest rice mills in the country and we think one of the best county papers in the state. tCariisle Independently
 In fact Carlisle has absolutely every essential to make it a big
 ger and better town and we feel as sure of that as you do that you are reading this article now. The very fact that each and ev- cry citizen is actively interested in anything for the betterment of tie cou munity is building a city that is rapidly forging to the front in industrial lines, and increased population self evident from the very fact that there is not a vacant house for rent in Carlisle anu all every day de
 mand for houses. In fact this is town in which every resident is proud of the fact he lives here.

ToDAYs ANNTvERsARY.

The first Union of Agricultural La borers was inaugurated at Leaning ton, WarwlcIlshire, England, 47 years ago today. The principal promoter was Joseph Arch. formerly a laborer and later a Methodist minister. The movement spread throughout Eng land. and received the support of. sew eraI members of Parliament and oth- CT influential public men. There were many disputes between the union la borers and farm owners, resulting h Iockouts. By 1875 the agitation had subsided Attempts to organize farm hands have since been made in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, but none have sue ceeded. Unions of farm owners, however, have met with considerable success, especially in maintaining the price of cotton and tobacco.

WIRE MEN VOTE
 ID HOLD STRIKE

Washington, March 2S-Informa- ton has reached Washington that the Commercial Photographers Union of America has issued strike ballots to all telegraph and telephone workers, proposing a nationwide "te-up" ef- fectlve on April 29.
 The employees demand recognition those who were locked out last year, and higher wages. They are resist ing the refusal of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson to treat with the union.
 Tho workers say they will quI, work unless their grievances are ad- Justed in tn emeantime by the Unit ed States Wire admlnistra ton The proposed strike would affect nearly 400 workers, grouped as follows: Tel ephones. 265, 900; commercial tele- graphs. 7O,O0O; railroad tcleEraphs 10000.
 The strike ballot, which is signed by s. J. Konenkamp, international president of the Commercial TeleS- raphers Union of America, after set ting forth a resolution adopted by many districts demanding that a strike vote be taken, and explaining that the General Committee of the union elected last October to try and adjust grievances with the wire ad- ministration, had exhausted It's re- sources, declares that the representa- tlves of the government have not kept their word.
 eve have appealed 10 Congress, but our appeals were of no avail, p President KOnenNamp says in his statement accompanying the strike 9ballot, I've appealed to the Ma tional War Labor Board without re- suits. The Department of Labor Is helpless because the Wire Adminls- Iration, under Postmaster-CTene BuTleson, insists upon handling it's la bor problems differently from all oth- er departments of the government
 we have been unable to get the ear of the President of the United States because, so we are told, oul case was not sufficiently acute.
 ''If MT. Burleson would express 2 wfIlingne ess to apply the procIaua. ton of President Wilson. dated Apri .. 1918, establishing the Nationa War Labor Board to tho telegraph and telephones; if Mir. Burleso1 would agree to reinstate the work CTS who were locked out last yea because they accepted President vii sons proclamation at It's face value as he said he would; If MT. BurIeso. would enforce his own orders pro hibitinE discrimination against unioI men and women; if MT. BurlesoI would agree to treat with the teIe graph and telephone workers on tn, same basis that the Railroad Admin 1stration has dealt with the railroa, workers; if MT. Bluleson would agre to our reasonable wage demands there would be no necessity for strike.
 ''The International Brotherhood O Electrical Workers is in a positio, similar to the telegraph and teIephon workers" continues President Konen kamp- ''They, too, are being cam peIled to take strike vote.'" h says, and fntimates that there will b @ pooling of grievances which wi affect all means of electrical com Inunicatlon. The letter concludes ''It is because we can see no othe solution that we find it necessary { ask you to vote on the question of strike. The sole responsibility for rests in the unfair and arbitrary ac lions of the Wire Administration UT der the personal direction of Pos- master General Burleson''

MORE PARADES FOR NEW YORK

New York, March 28---New York may have two more parades that will rival the spIendor of the Twenty-seV- enth Division.

These are the tentative plans made yesterday Decorations used for the Twenty-sev- enth will remain and will be added to for the new parades.
 Both parades are so distant that plans are vet incomplete. Major J. Fullerton Weaver, in charge of the Seventy-seventh's headquarters here, has had a. talk with Grover WhaIen, secretary to the mayor, who is also acting for him on the mayors com nittee, in which he was assured that the committee will lend every assist ance possible.
 i In e. sensg, officers of the division 1 pointed out, the Seventy-seventh is more the cItys division than the enth is, or was, originally composed entirely of the greater city's youth. After suffering nearly 10000 casual ties, TepIacements from every State in the Union, numbering about 5000
 were drawn to fill the ranks. There
 were 1,500 deaths.
 The division was tzrafted from the
 greater city and included some men from Nassau. Westchester and Dutch ess counties. There are about l., ,OOt

The widow with her three daughters moved to New York, and under the spur of necessity, Mrs. Barr took up her long literary career. Since that time TO novels have come from her pen. Mrs. Barr was a, greaat foe of Trace suicide" She decried the small family and declared that the princt- pal cause for the falling of the birth rate is that modern women are afraid to have children. In one of her last books, ''The Measure of a Man, she declared that the present generation of young women are physical cow ards, and with far less reason for their fears than in the old days when medical science was far less advanced than now.
