WOULD EXCEL JULES YERNES.

Many years ago, before the advent
of flying ships, an enthusiastic bal
loonist imagined he could encircle
the globe in twenty-four hours. he
PLANNED to ascend in a balloon and
remain high in tie air until the
earth turned over and then drop
anywhere he might choose. Some
body called his attention to the fact
that he would be compelled to 60 at
least fifty miles above the earth IN
order to escape its attraction, in
which event the orb would pass from
under him as rapidly as an aerol!te,
and the ball"nnist would find HIM
self in space until he came near
enough to sore celestial body to
got within it's attraction.
Judging from the following this
dream is still being nurtured:
give Thousand feet in an aero
plane above City Hall, Philadelphia,
Then you throw on your 'antl-graV-
itv' brake. the motor stops purrlng,
you lean back among the cushions
for quiet nap, while the plane re-
mains stationary in the air Mean
while the earth below rotates f1r a
few hours and you descend in the
Euphratcs Valley-or China.

gemcy Fleet Corporation describes

 ABILITY TO FIND EMPLOY MENT IN COUNTY FROM WHICH | ENLISTED OR DRAFTED.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-Much interest is being manifested throughout the state in securing employment for discharged soldiers, according to re- ports received by Adj. Gen. Lloyd England
 That the demobilization of the Ark. ansas organizations may create the least possible disturbance in the econ omical conditions of the country, es- pecially in Arkansas, General England says: Such emobilization will pro- ceed at rate not greater than the ability of the country to absorb into civil life the returning soldiers
 Up to the present many of the Arkansas troops have been released from service and the greater portion have found employment. There are 63,74O men in the service from Arkan- sas, and 9,817 have been offered enl- ployment, This number is expected to increase as the men are released from service.
 The number of men in the service from Lee county is LISA and employ ment is offered to 200 men in the county.

GREAT NEED IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM

Arkansas has time and again ap- Fopriated large sums of money for pnvict farms but so far the various egislatures have never seemed to Aink that appropriating money in
 rge enough quantities to provide D experimental farm for those of us
 Tho are not convicts was sufficient
 praiseworthy endeavor to merit ttAntion. Everyone knows that
 rkansas needs and must have an Rperimental farm of first rank, if ur agricultural development is to rogress rapidly and not suffer seri- us setbacks now possible without vailable experimental data on Ark nsas conditions. This point Is Drought out in the issue of the Ark nsas Homestead for January 20, which Robert H. Bowden, the ed tor says
 ~One of Arkansas greatest needs an agricultural college and experi- nent station commensurate with the agricultural importance of the state. This is more than a need-it is a necessity if the state is to develop griculturally as it should to hold its pwn with it's neighbors."
 5. c. Riley. with the University, is quoted in the same issue as saying mat -''in order to enable the insti- Eutions of Arkansas to keep pace "ith the natural development of the commonwealth we must have just System of taxation so that the legiti- mate revenues which should be com hg from our taxable property can [oe turned into the proper channels Tor the greater development of the state. We will never have a repre- |Sentative agricultural college, experi- ment station or experimental farm untii We get together and go after 'ne necessary funds"
 IL will pay everyone to read these articles which point out clearly but ooidly the situation IS it exists at tue college of agriculture and the seasons and needs f0r greater col .ese and an adequate experimental farm.

GERMAN OFFICERS PLAN TO

New York, Feb. 1.-Warning the American people that many German officers are planning to come to the United States to evade payment of war taxes at home. was given here today by Maj Monson Morris of the 369th infantry, upon his arrival on the army transport Sibony
 Maj. Morris, who on the day the armistice was signed. was command. ant of an American prison camp at Richelieu, France. where 832 German prisoners, including major-general were confined, declared they were the most arrogant. impudent, con temptible and meanest of men.
 'I want the American government and the American people to know that those birds have made up their minds to come over here" he contin- ued. They stated to me that they could make real money here and evade the taxes in Germany, which would have been inevitable even if she had not been defeated. They kicked about everything and showed themselves to be real Prussians, which is the last word in contempt. Furthermore, they would not admit defeat"
