BURGLARS BREAK IN AT BROTHERS DRUG STORE

Tuesday morning revealed a burglary at Trotter's Drug Store.
 MT. Burglar used an augur or bits to take a big section out of the rear door and when he got inside he appearantly proceed ed direct to the case wherein the supply of morphine was kept. He lifted this bodily and nothing else was disturbed. Even the few dollars of cash left in open drawers of the reg ister were left unmolested.
 Only a small quantity of the drug is kept by Druggist Trot- ter and therefore the dope fiend found small pay for his robbery.
 Druggist Trotter said "Who ever it was, knew just where kept the drug and didn't disturb anything else"

Next we go around where the field bOxs are unloaded and placed in stacks about six deep. There a man places them on a continuous bench that carries a broad running belt, which in moving carries the boxes to an automatic contrivance that takes the boxes up to the next floor empties the oranges out and returns the boxes empty down and shoots them out to be loaded in wagons for the pickers.
 Up in the next floor we go to where the oranges were emp tied and see them moving along (like people in the strug- gle of life, in a hurry as to who shall get there first) till they get to a certain point where the graders are arranged. Usual ly there are three graders, they pick out the culls, place them on a different band and leave the best grades to pass and drop in the bins according to their sizes. Passing around to the different rows of bins, or boxes, we find the packers, or wrappers, (mostly women) each one standing at his or her bin, just grabbing and wrapping for dear life. With one hand they pick up the orange, with the other they slip the wrapper and with both they have the orange wrapped in the twinkle of the eye, and into the box it goes. Some will wrap from fifty Ito eighty boxes day. The box is then taken by the finish ing man, the top put on, wired and nailed and stacked near the rear door ready to be put in a tight, paper-lined box car, the good work goes on from day to day.

BRIhK{EY WINS THE
 BANKHEAD HIGHWAY
The Official Route of Nations Great Highway Named Thro'
 the BrinkIey Air Line
BrinkIey Invites Nearby Towns to Come on in and Get on
 the Highway Here.

After several years of agita- tion and friendly rivalry over the location thro Eastern Arkan sas of the famed National High WY, The Bankhead Route, the agony is at last over, AND BRINKLEY WINS.
 The official settlement of the rivalry came at the big meet last Friday at Mineral Wells, Texas, when the recommeda- ton of he National Pathfinders Committee was adopted nam- ing the route from Memphis, thro' Forrest City, Wheatley, Brinkley, DeValls Bluff, Hazen. Lonoke to Little Rock.
 The Brinkley or Monroe county section of the big road is now being built as rapidly as tn contractors can push the work.
 The legal hinderances that have detered the building have cost the tax payers of the dis trict, in point of cost of materi- al, labor, etc, possibly $1O0.OOO. but, as it seems, it couldn't be helped and now the work goes on rapidly.
 The contractors expect to have the concrete bridges in and road from Wheatley thro' Brinkeley down to Allendale, s miles south, by July 1st.
 This is the greatest thing that has ever come to Brinkley. It means more in every way. My hat is off to Mayor Green lee. Howard Mitchell, Dr. Mur- lphy. Kn Brown, James Gum, Beni. Emmons, T. c. Simmons. Elmo Chaney and all of the other road enthusiasts who have fought this over.
 i There is talk of organizing road districts in Cotton Plant, Hunter and other sections to and Pm saying to all, Brinkley
 will gladly join hands with you.
 Come on, now.

THE KEEVIL AGRICULTURAL
 CLUB.

On Friday, April 18th, 1919,- tn pupils of Donovan's Acade- my had the honor and pleasure of having our District Agents, Mr. McKell and Miss Nell Min ton, and our own Home Agent, Miss Fortenberry, to visit them.
 The boys and girls were prof ited very much by the interest ing talks MT. McKnell and Miss MintOn gave them. Their work out here was to encourage boys to raise pigs and calves and girls to join poultry and canning clubs, but as there is a long list of different clubs each boy and girl can choose which club they would rather join.
 After each Agent had en- couraged the boys and girls very much and asked us to or eanize so we can have our own meetings and can all be togeth- CT. we decided to organize an Agriculture Club. Miss Forten- berry then called the house to order and enrolled twenty-five members at our First" meet ling. Officers were elected as follows: Wallace Baker, Presi- dent: Heber Brantley, Vice President; Ruby Kelley, Secre- tary, and Annie Mai Donovan, Reporter, and we, the members of the Keevil Agriculture Club to the best of our ability chose officers that we thought would do their best by our Club, and make it the best club in Monroe county. After each officer had thanked the members of the Club for their election and ask ed their help to fill their office and do their duty toward the Club. Miss Fortenberry then asked each member who had already gotten their pig, calf or poultry to tell something about it. Some of the girls have their tomatoes transplanted and the boys who have pigs are just do- ing fine. The poultry club girls are coming right along too. The members who have ot yet re- ceived their calves, pigs or poultry are patiently waiting for them, and while doing so are thinking of the vim and de- trmination with which they are going to enter into their work.
 At our next meeting the girls are to bring material to make caps and aprons as Mss Fortenbemy is to cut them out.

Asks Americans to
Observe Bastile Day
Again on Sept. 6

New York, July 14.-As a COM
pliment to France on the eve of that
republics Bastile Day, the National
Lafayette Day committee chose last
hlght as the time for issuing its an
nual appeal to the American people
TO make September again this year

servance. September is the ami
cersary, also of the battle of the
Marne in 1914.
The committees call, it's fourth
successive one within four years,
asks Americans to honor the memory
of Lafayette as "one of the noblest
heroes of the American revolution,
thanks to those efforts Frances
sympathy for the cause of freedom
was given effective expression at
the crucial period of the struggle
for American independence, and to
commemorate the victory of the
Marne in 1914 when the world free
dom was saved from a deadly peril"
1t declares that the movement for
the observance represents possibly
the earliest expression on a National
scale of the hope of America, now
happily fulfilled, that liberty and
justice might triumph in the great
est of human struggles which with
our cooperation has been brought
to a victorious end"

Noted Diplomat Dies
After Arduous Work

Philadelphia, July 14.-Ethelbert
Watts, who was born in this city
February 25, 1S45, and was for
years a noted figure in diplomatic
and consular circles. died late Sat
urday night at the University Hos
pital, a virtual martyr to duty. An
illness, aggravated by his unsparing
work during the recent explosion at
Halifax so taxed his strength and
undermined his vigor that he could
not recuperate under the strain of
recurrent illness.
Mr.. Watts was American Consul
General at Brussels during the Ger
man invasion and for many months
afterwards. He sought a surcease
from his extraordinary labors in the
capital of Belgium, and so was
transferred to Halifax. He had
scarcely more than arrived there be-
fore the explosion occurred, and the
noted diplomat threw himself into
relief work with all his customary
ardor.
He later was transferred to Ber-
muda, where his health gave out
completely, and he returned to this
city in the hope of recovering some
of his old-time strength.

BABY CROP
PROMISES TO BE LARGE
New York Milk Committees Survey Shows to Be Biggest
in History
in History

450.0 compared with 100000 in
1917.
That the general infant mortality
rate, founded upon reports received
from cities comprising 26 per cent
of the population jumped from 97.5
per thousand births to 104.1.
Although estimates show that the
baby death rate for the country in
creased seven points, the New York
Milk Committee believes this figure
to be remarkably low when all the
elements conspiring against him
war unrest. high cost of food and
the influenza epidemic-are care
fully weighed. The figures for 1918
reflect increased activity on behalf
of the newborn and shows that the
campaign of the Federal government
to conserve the lives of 100000 in
fants during Americas second year
of participation in the war was not
without it's reward. This movement
combined with prenatal care work
carried on with increased zeal by
sundry organizations, particularly
in the larger cities shows conclusive
ly the the public's interest in the
welfare of the baby is growing
steadily.
