few miles apart, but owing 10 the
steep mountains between the two
towns there is no direct mail service

Rutland and Bellows Fails. form a
serious inconvenience to business
dealings between the largest two

Vermont This Inconvenience has
been felt for years, but until now, no
feasible remedy for II has been dis

would be an immense aid; and no
time should be lost in appealing to
our congressman to use their in
fuence in bringing this about.

when q. few units annexed homeless

Third Place Money
 BOthers Magnates

New York, Nov. 19.-Failure of the National Baseball commission to award third place money in the last world series to the New York Amer jeans was the subject of discussion at special meeting of the directors of the American league here today. The meeting was called by the ma jority directors-Jacob Ruppert of New York, Harry Frazee of Boston and Charles Comiskey of Chicago.
 The New York club was officially awarded third place at recent spe- cial meeting of the directors and a resolution was adopted authorizing the national commission to pay the Yankees their share of the series proceeds. Detroit, however, protest ed against the award, claiming that the games in which Carl Mays pitch ed should not be counted in New York's standing.

B0nar Law Urges ..
 Coalition Rule

London, Nov. 19.-Addressing unionists in London tonight, Andrew Bonar Law, the government leader in the house of commons, . empha- sized the importance of a coalition government in developing the strength of nations. He said that Great Britain, France and Italy in the war realized that the life of the nations was in danger, and formed coalitions to save them. The Uni ted States, being further away, did not form a coalition.
 Now danger was seen, and he said it would be terrible if it became a reality that a great nation might not play a part in reconstruction after the war because there had been no coalition and party spirit was as rampant as tho there had been no war.

6O,000 Autos in
 State Next Year

Little Rock, Nov. Estate high way commissioner w. B. Owen IS not very optimistic about the ln- crease in automobiles in Arkansas ln 1920, as he has only ordered 6O,0o0 license tags for the twelve months beginning with January l. Up to date 49,369 licenses have been issued this year and probably 200 more will be issued before January l. Auto mobiles have been hard to obtain this year, but the manufacturers promise to equal the demand in 1920, in which case local dealers say that Commis-
 sioner Owen will have to make a sec ond purchase. They estimate the number of cars in the state for 1920
 at not less than 80,000.
 Automobile owners who have to
 purchase license tags now are mak- ing strenuous complaint against pay ing $1O now, the same amount as $
 charged on January 1. The Arkan- sas Automobile association will en- deavor to change this law so that the license fee will be. divided into quar- ters, and the person who buys a car | in the last quarter will have to pay
 but for three months of the year.

Amazed by Rice
 Field Development
 in Many Counties

Little Rock, Nov. 19.-Col. Henry A. Allen, chief engineer of the Dixie Power company, a prominent consult ing engineer of Chicago, and com- mander of the Seventh Combat En- gineers for over year in France, was in Little Rock this week looking after the interests of the company. Colonel Allen was one of the consult ing engineers on the Panama Canal.
 q was amazed by the magnitude of the rice development, in several counties of your state," said Colonel Allen, but greater still is the chance for development. In fact, l would say that it has not really begun. Our company contemplates supplying the rice fields with cheap power from the dam we are to erect on White river, but if developed to the fullest there are not rivers enough in the state to supply sufficient power for this field. We hope to bring 50,0O0 horsepower daily to the rice fields, and more if we can generate over our estimated production of 100000 horsepower, and that ought to start the rice boom.
 "Our project will not only supply cheap power, but we will do what the government has not so far succeeded in doing-we will make the flow oi the White river almost the same the year round. Our dam will flood 150,0O0 acres of land and impound SC much water that we will be able tc let it all out through the turbines and not over the spillway. This will relieve Newport of about eight feet
