Editorial

A .doughboy had been
severely wounded trying to
keep up with the running
Huns. He was taken to a
hospital, where, without
the excitement of battle,
he developed a severe case
of homesickness.
The doctors told the
nurse the boy would die
unless something was done
for him-SOON.
The boy was asked what
he wanted most and he
said, Apple pie" 1t was
a symbol of home to him.
His request came to the
ears Of a Salvation Army
worker. Immediately the
apple pie was baked and
delivered.
The boy was tickled to
pieces, and from that day
began to improve. He is
back in. America, we'll and
happy-NOW.
Those sweet-faced bak-
ers of apple pie and dough-
nuts want money to carry
on their work. We're Civ
ing all we can. Are you?

TWO DAUGHTERS TO
 SHARE IN ESTATE OF DR. J. r, SIMMONS
Mrs. Simmons and F. c. Bridges To Be in Control Until
 1926.

Dr. J. F. Simmons will, dsposing of an estate which is estimated to be worth more than $2,000,000, was filed for probate yesterday in the office of County Clerk l.. T. Salee. The instru- ment, provides that after the dover rights of testator's widow, Mrs. En- ma Hunter Simmons, have been al- lotted, and the expenses of the ad- mnistration and taxes are paid, that the remainder of the estate shall be shared equally by his daughters, Misses Theola and Lucille Simmons.
 Mrs. Simmons and Attorney F. G. Bridges are named as executors, and are to control the estate until January 1, 1925, collecting all income and holding it in trust for the beneficiar- ies. It is provided, however, that should the income from property now owned by the beneficiares be insufficient for their needs, then the executors may pay over to them any amount the executors deem advis- able. The will also provides that the executors may end the trusteeship before January 1, 1925. and relinduish control to the beneficiaries, but it is stipulated that executing one piece, none of the real estate is to be sold before January 1, 1895.
 The executors may dispose of any part of the personal estate and 939 acres in Garland county to pay any expenses of the administration.
 The will was executed on January go. 1917, and witnessed by J. w. and J. w. Wilkins.

Auction of Souls at Best Theatre |
 a Great Picture

To be sold into a Turkish harem for 85 cents is one of the very many interesting and horrible adventures of Aurora Mardiganian, the Ameri- can beauty who will be seen in "Auc- tion of Souls" at the Best theatre, starting tomorrow for three days.
 The film is being presented by the First National Exhibitors cir cult in cooperation with the Ame- rican Syrian relief committee. It is a film that is destined to make the blood of American boil, when they
 see the many outrages that were perpetrated on the defenseless peo- pie by the mudorous Turks aided by the dastardly Germans.
 Miss Madiganian, who is re-en- acting her life drama, at one time lived in Armenia. She with hun- dreds of thousands of girls and wom- en, was driven into the desert. The men were taken and either killed out right or put to death in horrible fashion. The time for the great est terror for the girls and women among the long trains of Armenians taken across the desent by the Turks was at night. Then, as shown in this remarkable portrayal of the ad- ventures of one Armenian girl, the Turks pitched camp and began to revel. After hours of drinking, they would begin to slink from group to group, seizing the young est and prettiest girls to ravage. Mothers, tortured in the fear of seeing their daughters ruined be- fore their very eyes, buried them in ,he sand, and sat upon them.
 But they were not always success. ful, as was shown in the case of he heroine, who was found and ;aken by the brutal Mohammedans.

WILSON BETTER; IMPROVEMENTS IS
 NOT DECISIVE"
Continued from page one)

(Contlnued from page one) is given by all newspapers here to Washington dispatches relative to the illness of President Wilson and editorial comments reflect the con- cern in Paris over his condition.
 The Echo de Paris, says that the presidents illness means the Ame- rican senate will be left to itself, which perhaps is a good thing as the opposition, losing a counter-party, loses, if not some force, at least some of it's violence"
 'The eclipse of such great factor" says the Journal, "is an event full of consequences, as no one can re- place MT. Wilson. His most inti- mate callaborators. Co. E. M. House, and Secretary of State Lan- sing were in many points far from approving all the initiatives of their chief while in Paris"
 Among messages received at the White House tonight was the follow ing from Cardinal Gibbons at Balti- more:
 q beg to express my heartfelt sympathy for the president in this hour of illness and will pray for his early recovery"

HEAVY ENROLMENT,
 TEACHERS SHORTAGE
 IS WORRYING J, 0F 4,
University Also Needs Space Badly in Class Rooms and
 Laboratories.

Fayetteville, Oct 4.-"The unpre- cedented enrolment of students in the University of Arkansas and the high cost of instructors have created a situation that much command the attention of the people of the state until remedy is found," said Presi- dent John c. Futrall today in com menting on the opening of the uni versity.
 Many sections, especially of the freshman class, are badly overcrowd- ed There is immediate need of eight or ten additional instructors to relieve the pressure. The university does not have the funds with which to pay these teachers nor would 1t know where to get them if it had the money. War conditions have taken many teachers out of the pro- fession permanently and have stopped to a large extent, the supply of new teachers coming on.
 "1n the last three months the var ious university faculties at Fayette- vile and the agricultural extension faculty have lost dozen good men by resignation. Some of these ac- cepted attractive opportunities in business. The balance took positions carrying large increases in salary, which in several cases amounted to $1 ,000 each. in one case $2,4OO and in another $3,200. When we ask other institutions to recommend compet- ent men to fill vacancies they gener- ally reply that they would like to have us recommend men to them.
 "The salaries of the present faculty members are entirely inadequate. The university has set aside for salary increases so large proportion of it's total income as to leave the amount available for maintenance and opera tion dangerous small, but with all that, salaries, which were too low five years ago, have advanced only a small fraction of the increased cost of living.
 "The university is hard put to it also for space in it's laboratories, lib- raries, class rooms. and dormitories The erection of buildings of some kind, either temporary or permanent, will be an absolute necessity within the next two years"

EXPECT TO RAISE SALVATION ARMY FUND
 IN oNE-DAy DRIVE:
Judge Sorrells, County Director, Is Confident of
 Success.

Officials of the Jefferson county Salvation Army campaign which be- gins Monday morning are confident the quota assigned for this county will be raised in one day. All plans for the opening of the drive have been made, and it is expected that work CTS will meet at the luncheon at the Y. M. c. A. at noon with reports in- dicating the drive half over.
 Another Salvation Army lassie, Miss Swnson, will be at the meeting, to lend encouragement by recital of some of the experiences she had with the army overseas. Miss Swim son will speak at the First Presby- terian church Sunday morning, and at the Lakeside church Sunday night
 The confidence of the county d- rector, Judge w. E. Sorrells, is voiced in statement made yester- day afternoon:
 "The Salvation Army drive is the most poplar we have ever had. Everything is boosting the drive and speaking a kind word for the Salva- tion Army. The shops have organ ized for their usual 100 per cent.
 "Onr workers are enthused and say that the campaign will go oevr the first day. So that our people will be much gratified to learn that the Salvation Army that did so much for our boys is going to get the help it so richly deserves and that lief ferson county will come up as usual. In my opinion the bells will ring and the whistles blow about 7:3O Monday evening. So listen for them and help us make them blow.
 All the workers. their captains and their workers must attend the lun- cheon at the Y. M. c. A. Monday at noon. Miss Swinson will no doubt he with us and make talk at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and at Lakeside Monday night. She was one of the lassies who cot ripht up to the front line trenches with her hot doffee and doughnuts. Be sure and hear her. The Rotary club has been wonder f"l help to us and we here wish to thank that great organization for the energv it has put in the cam paign and all our workers who have responded as I believe they have never responded before.
 The Salvation Army drive this time is the most nopular drive we ever had and evervbodv is saving a good kind word for them.

REDS NOW NEED BUT TWO GAMES
 TO WIN SERIES
Continued from page one)

Continued from page oheJ JN,, pins delivered clean double to cen- ter. Felsch sent him to third by the sacrifice route and the stands went wild with delight. Gandll, however, retired on a fly to Groh. Then Ring did one of two things either became wild, or played bit of the most daring strategy, for he walked both Risberg and Schalk, fill ing the bases. This brought Cicotte to the plate. The crowd generally commented that it was his opportu- nity to win his own game, but his desperate swing caught the ball far up the handle and he was out at first, thus dissolved one of the locals two chances to score.
 Miss Opportunity.
 The next opportunity came in the succeeding round. Liebold lined. to right along the foul line but Neale by magnificent run captured 1t with catch which was sheer bandi- try. Collins was hit bv the pitcher and tore down to second when Weav- CT grounded out to Daubert unassist- ed. Jackson hit to Rath, who camp ed on first while Rath was juggling the ball and making hurried throw, Collins meanwhile reaching third. Felsch however. was unable to pro- duce a hit, and another local hope was inferred. The Sox never threa- tened again. save remotely in the fifth when Groh's error, a wild heave to first. placed Liebold on second, with one down. Groh made a won. derful stop of Collins hard hit ball and Liebold was run down between second and third. Weaver's out en- ded the rally. Thereafter Ring held the game in the palm of his hand a base on balls in the seventh, an- other hit in the eighth and his last nass in the ninth. but these outcrop- pings never caused the Reds a mo- ment's real worry.
 Fifth Fatal.
 The story of the Red victory be- longs to the fifth innning. In no other round did they get a runner past the initial sack. Sharp field ing, Cicotte's sterline pitching, and two sharp double plays tell the story of the innings other than the fifth. Roush started the momentous round bv dumping the ball in front of the plate. and was out at first on a hair line decision. Duncan bounced an awkward one toward Weaver and Cicotte grabbed it. but in his haste threw fathom over Gandils head. That started the debacle. Schalk, who gets into nearly every play, re- trieved the ball, but Duncan was safe on second The timeliness of the Reds hittino, evident in all of the games which they have won. was again in evidence. Kopf singled to short left. Jackson taking the ball on the bound as he ran forward. Duncan was tearing for the plate. Jackson threw perfectly for the plate and it looked certain out when Ci- cotte, whose nerves, bv reason of his rrevious error. seemed out for an altitude record, interposed his
