ARMOUR APPEARS
 BEFORE HOUSE FOR PACKERS Declares Profits Made by His Company Last Year Were Less Than 2 Cents
 On the Dollar COLLISION CHARGE N"BIG FIVE" DENIED Advance In Meat Prices Attributed to Advance In Labor, Fuel and
 Live Hogs.

Washington, Jan 21--.J Ogden Armour, of Chicago, president of Ar mour and company, spent more than four hours today before the house interstate commerce committee read ing prepared statement opposing government regulation of the meat packing industry and in answering lquestions of members of the con- nittee. His examination will be continued tomorrow.
 MT. Armour denied that his com pany makes excessive profits. declar- ing the return last year on $S61 ,000, 900 worth of business was less than two cents on every dollar of sales and said he was perfectly willing to relinQuish his holdings to the gov ernmcnt upon being allowed a just compensation. He warned, however that government ownership "implies red tape ad restrictions which can not help but add to the costs of the service"
 COllusiOn Denied. Charges of the federal trade com big packing firms to control prices were denied categorically by Mr. Armour, who also insisted that there was keen competition between the socalled "big five" in buying as wei as marketing.
 l Discussing the increased prices o1 i meats, Mr. Armour said the reaso: why bacon costs 70 cents pound against 25 or 30 cents four years ago could be readily understood Prices of live hogs had increased 24s l per cent in that time, he declared while costs of labor and fuel haC doubled The market prices of by products had not increased in tho same ratio as live hogs, he asserted and this necessarily put a greater l price burden on the edible parts O. the animal.
 MT. Armour's prepared statemen covered 68 printed pages and the wit ness voice became so weak that h' I had enc of his associates cOmplet; it's reading. The afternoon sessior was devoted entirely to the question ing of MT Armour by members O the committee.
 "How far are the 'ramifications' o the, meat packers to extcnd?" asked
 Chairman Sims, referring to criticism by the federal trade commission o the entrance of the, packers int trades apparently unrelated to th' killing of meat animals. eff vol can tan leather, why can't you man ufacture shoes, especially as you con trol such quantities of hides and wh, can't you retail these shoes to tn public? If you can make lard com
 pound from cottonseed, why can you go into the business of raising cotton and spinning the staple?"

b|G NATAT0RIUM
 HERE ASSURED FOR NEXT SUMMER
Club House, Tennis Courts, and Immense Pool to
 Cost $17,500. E

That Pine Bluff will have natator- ium next summer is now an assured fact. In an article in the Graphic some days ago, it was stated that plans were being promulgated by everal prominent business men for the construction of natatorium here. The plans at that time were but tenta- tive
 Last night another meeting was held at the office of H. I. Holderness, at which definite plans were drawn up, and which assured Pine Bluff of natatorium by June of this year. At last nights meeting, plans were perfected for permanent organiZa- tion, and another meeting will be held Friday night at 8 o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce at which board of directors will be elected, who will in turn elect the officers and the membership committee.
 A brief history of the story which appeared in the Graphic some time ago, might refresh the memory on the exact plans and purposes of this pro- ject. Nothing is realized more fully than that Pine Bluff is in need of natatorium. The Y. M. c. A. pool is an excellent place to swim, but it is not large enough by far to accommo- date the hundreds in this city who wish to enjoy acquatics. The river, and the various lakes and holes which the people usually go to every sum- mer are unhealthy, and inadequate. Will Invite Members.
 The natatorium is planned to pro- vide the people of Pine Bluff with the healthiest, and most wholesome of summer sports. The plan of or- ganization is to create a corportion, and to invite membership, every mem Der to be stock holder in the corpora tion. The purchase price will not be beyond the means of anyone. When the head of family is a stockholder, | it is planned that ladies, and others in the family, might become members with the payment of about one fifth ] the regular membership cost. For ] instance, should the cost of member ship be $25, the wife, or the daughter, or son under 21 years, would be asso- ciate members for $5. Of course, all single men over 21 would have to pay the full price of membership.
 It was the idea of the men who met last night to limit the original, or charter, membership to 800, and this would in turn provide for about 15OO members, including the associate mem- bers.
 The site for the pool has been decid- ed upon, and will embrace a natural location at Eden Park, more specifical- ly, that portion of the Park east of Dr. Clark's residence. It was plan ned to construct tank 250 feet by 375 feet, ten feet deep in the middle and holding two and a half, or three mil dion feet of water A small club house is included in the plans, and there is ground enough for the laying out of tennis courts. The coast of the pool is estimated at about ST. (500.00. The ground has been donated without charge for ten years with the option at the end of that time of re-
 newing, or buying.

Supreme Council Hopes to Formulate Concrete Pro-
 posal Tomorrow.
NO REPRESENTATIVE
 WILL BE PRESENT
Investigation Will be Made Without
 Considering Presence of Either ', Side of Question at Jasue.

Paris, Jan. 21.-The supreme coun- Gil of the great powers hope to form ulate concrete proposal on Russia at tomorrow's meeting. This was the definite official announcement of the communique issued tonight after the council had been considering the Rus sian situation continuously for the last two days,
 It can be added that while this con- crete proposal was not finally decided and reduced to writing, its main fea- lures were agreed on in principle. The members came from the session, however, feeling that there was no Sovereign remedy insurin'g certain cure for the difficult and dangerous situation and that it would be de- sirable to embody several lines of ac- Etion in the proposal.
 No Representatives.
 The first effect of this proposal will be that neither Serginus Saznoff, the Russian Minister of foreign affairs be- fort the revolution, nor any Soviet agents will come to Paris as exon ents of Russian affairs but that some form of inquiry or investigation of po- ltical conditions in Russia will be made without considering the pres ence in Paris of the adherents of eith- CT side of the question at issue. This determintion is largely the. result of strong sentiment in some quarters against haviny any direct dealings with the Bolsheviki.
 i Early indications were that Premier Lloyd Georges proposal to M. Pichon, the French Foreign Minister, would again take form in having Soviet agents come here and three names of Prominent leaders were mentioned as possible emissaris. But this is now said to be definitely suspended by a plan of inquiry or investigation, with out involving the presence of Soviet agents.
 1 Soviet Leaders Barred.
 The Danish Minister to Russia, Harold Scavenius, made statement before the executive session of the council today on conditions in Rus- sia, which also had a strong influence in determining that Soviet represen- tatives should not come to Paris. He was the last of the ministers to leave Petrograd and today he emphasized the futility of trying to conduct any intercourse with the Soviet leaders
 He read an article written by one of the Soviet chiefs declaring that Premier Lloyd George and President Wilson were too conservative and re- actionary for the Soviets to deal with He also gave exact data on the Bol. shevik forces, showing that they did rot exceed nine thousand armed men the remainder being without arms ol ammunition, clothing, or shoes. He declared also that the red army was largely recruited from the famished
 peasants who took this means to ob.
 tain food and the pay the Soyiets
 seemed to able to give them.

WATER COMMANDMENTS

Thou shalt not fuss with thy
neighbor about the water, but shalt
give him an even break, remember
ing the needs of thy neighbor, thy
neighbours wife, his maid servant
his man servant, his OK, his ass and
everything that is thy neighbours.
Thou shalt not plug into the ditch
and take away the water from thy
neighbor while his rows are partly
watered, but shalt wait till the fluid
shall reach the lower ends of the
rows so there shall be no waste, then
shalt thou labor with thy neighbor
with thy mouth in gentleness and
not with the business end of thy
shovel.
Thou shalt not defy thy neighbor
when he Is vexed, nor vex him if he
doth defy thee, for vexations may
cause him to use his shovel to
stroke thy dome of thought thus
violating the laws of the"land which
Sam thy uncle giveth thee.
When thou dost discover that thou
canst spare thy water from thy fields
for two days, notify the shepherd of
the headgates and recommend that
he turn it where it will do the most
good, remembering always to sug-
gest to him the name of the neighbor
who hast the most honorably be-
friended thee in the days Of thy
youth, and then make sacrifice
saying, perhaps can spare it for
four days"
