Armenia Wants to
 Be Charge of U. s.

New York, Nov. 11.-Armen'a wants the United States to accept a mandate for it. Virtually every Ar menian holds America in such high regard because of it's freedom, gov ernment, ideals and lack of selfish ambitions, that this of all nations, is sought by them to take charge of their country and bring order out Of chaos.
 This. was the message brought home today by Major General James G. Harbord, who headed the Ameri- can mission to the Near East to study conditions with respect to such a mandate. He will leave immediate ly to submit his report to the state department. Soon thereafter he will proceed to his new post as comman- der of Camp Travis, Texas, and the Second division.

Call Loans Rise to 25 Per Cent; Stocks
 in Rapid Declines

New York, Nov. 11.-The towering speculative structure in the stock market, reared Jy professional in- terests in the fast month on a foun- dation of "easy money" toppled over today when call loans rose to 25 per cent, the years highest figure and the maximum since December 27, 1907.
 Losses of to almost 40 points were sustained by many leaders in the recent rise, especially steels, equipments, motors and oiis. Nu- merous ether industrials which ac- companied the October boom also crumbled in today's convuIsive move ment.
 Almost the only stocks to escape the drastic liquidation were United States steel, which lost only frac- tlon of a point and the high grade railway shares.
 Not until the final hour when call money rose to 20 and then 25 per cent did the stock market become actually demoralized, Large blocks of specu- lative shares were offered "at the iii1'h oi IoI diiy pIIGe that was offered.
 In the main, final quotations were at or within fractions of the days lowest quotations. So extensive were the offerings at the close that the ticker was some 20 minutes behind Tn recording the days operations. Approximately 2,0O0,O00 shares changed hands, almost one-third of the days business being transacted in the last hour.
 A canvass of the financial district after the close of market disclosed preponderance of bearish senti- ment. In banking circles, however, relief was felt that many stockhold- lngs had passed from weak to strong hands. To that extent it was added. the markets technical position was vastly better.
 Representatives of the federal re- serve bank in Washington, including Gov. ". P. Harding, were in town, conferring with officials of the To- cal institution and the executives of leading national and state banks. Governor Harding declined to ex- press an opinion on market condi- tions beyond the statement that the situation seemed to be "well in hand'

!. ). COLLIER AND SON LEASE LARGE:
 COLLIER E:STATE:
Son and Grandson of Late T. H. Collier Will Operate Big
 Plantation.

Thos. J. Collier and his son, Thos. J. Collier Jr., operating cotton business under the firm name of T. J. Collier and Son, have leased the T. H. Collier estate and lands of Mrs. Edna J. Collier, widow of the late T. H. Collier, and mother of Thos. J. Collier. The property com prises about 10000 acres of culti- vated, pasture and wood lands, of the area $500 acres being in a high state of cultivation. This is some of the most fertile osil in this coun- try, the Collier plantation being noted for it's big crops of high quali ty cotton. The lease is for five years. The consideration was not announced.
 T. H. Collier is one of the heirs of the Collier estate. The others are his mother, Mrs, Edna J. Collier, and Mrs. Rosalie Lee, Mrs. Mollie Lee, Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, and w. E. Collier and H. w. Collier. The plantation has been operated by the estate since the death of T. H. Col Her, with H. W. Collier as the gen efaI manager
 T. J. Collier and Son will take charge on January 1, 1921, and Thos. J. Collier will give the management of the property his personal atten- tion, spending most of his time on the plantation near Altheimer, tho his family will continue to reside in Pine Bluff.
 The T. J. Collier and Son cotton buying and shipping business will be continued as heretofore, with Thos. J. Collier Jr. in charge. His fath CT will arrange to visit the offices occasionally, and probably give per sonal assistance during the busy buying and shipping season.
 The Collier plantation is one of the best equipped in all the cotton belt. It was operated successfully for years by the late T. H. Collier, who was typical of the old South-the hospitable, gentleman planter. Ad- vertisements recently invited bids for leasing the property, and since it has become known to a few that T. H. Collier and Son have contract ed to operate the place, there have been many expressions of gratifica tion that direct control of the estate would be retained by members of the Collier family.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 11.-On the eve or arguments on a suit to test constitutionality of the war time pro- hibition law and the Volstead en- forcement act in federal district court, United States District Attorney w.

 Travelogues, of which a great va riety is available, will be effective in the best of residential districts. Ami mated drawings, with moving dia- grams of mechanical processes, will appeal to boys and young men in manufacturing districts, probably the most difficult class to reach.

n H.h#Fs Il E-E 80
The purchase Of a registered Hol-
stein sire to replace the present head
of the Gilbertson grade Holstein
herd is an event worthy of comment
IN this column Mr., Gilbertsen's
latest purchase is a yearling of fine
breeding with a high producing an
cestry which promises well for the
capacity of his offspring. Il
The introduction Of a registered
sire into any of the communities
of the county is evedent of progress
And the man who expends his money
for such a purpose is doing someth-
ing valuable for the upbuilding Of
his community. While such a mans
first purpose is the improvement
of his own herd, with resulting
profit to himself, he affords his
neighbors the opportunity to improve
their herds also. The extent to
which they avail themselves of the
opportunity is a true mesure of
their intrest in better livestock.
The national and state departments
of agriculture are carrying on a cam
paign for the elimination of the
scrub and grade dairy sires. Mem
bers of the county farm bureau by
arousing interest in better bred live
stock for their communities can aid
the campaign and put this county in
the front rank.

SAUSE FOR THE CANDER
-SAUSE FOR The GOOSE

The employees of a railroad should
have no more right to tie up trans
portation by striking in order to se-
cure increased wages than the owners
of the road would have to discontinue
operation in order to force payment
rates. The government has asserted
and exercised the right to regulate
freight and passenger charges, after
due hearing before a quasi judicial
tribunal. 1t should also assert and
exercise through a. similar tribunal
the right to regulate wages of rail-
road employees, and then make it
unlawful for the employees to quit
simultaneously by concerted action.
