TOM BLODGETT ORGANIZES.
 A NEW CLUB.

It is absolutely necessary for me to organize new club to be known as the Tom Blodgett Club" There are great many reasons for this, ana the principal one is that it is gong to be necessary for me to more fully disclose my identity.
 These old fashioned country boy adds of mine have been so kindly re- celVed by the readers of Pine Bluff that feel 1t is coming to them to know just what kind of an animal really am.
 Some have thought that I take some kind of a magazine from which l get the dope that I use in my lit tie stories, but for the protection of magazines let me say that every word l write IS entirely original, so do not sue anybody else but me for the dam ages.
 Now this club is going to be diff ferent from any 1 know of, first there are no dues, and in order to save any argument l will be the President of 1t, in fact have already had meet ing with myself and elected myself
 unanlmously-the reason did l it was because I wanted to be president and was afraid to take a chance on any enc else voting but
 myself, so now that the officers are
 elected we are ready for business. To join the "Tom Blodgett Club" you must have certain social stand ing, you must be out of jail to be- come a member, this is required in
 every case, but in order to make it
 easy for lot of my friends l have
 arranged to accept applications while ] you are in jail to be acted upon fav-
 orably just the minute you get out.
 No red tape, no delay, no dues, no ! limit to the number of members. To become member of this club you must reside in Pine Bluff or some where else, in other words you must
 reside some where and if you have no
 place to reside I will help you find residence.
 The next requirement. is that you
 must believe in God Almighty; you i must believe in your fellow man and be booster for Pine Bluff and
 everybody in it that is trying to do their best.
 You must believe in a square deal
 between employer and the wage earner, and against extravaganza in the administration of the city's fi- nancial affairs. Every dollar of city money, which is the peoples money must bring a hundred cents worth of value in labor and material, the same as it does for you or me in our own business.
 You must be against unnecessary public offices created to give some one political job. If two depart ments can be consolidated under one salary and efficiently conducted you must be in favor of the same, be- cause it is part of your money that pays the extra expense when not necessary.
 You must be in favor of putting the city on self sustaining cash basis, and this can be done without

Canal Under English
Channel Built Soon
Associated Press

LONDON, April LConstruction
of a tunnel under the English Chan
mel to connect England and France
which, according to government an
nouncements will soon begin, is a CEN
tury-old scheme preached to Napoleon
by the celebrated French engineer
Matthew. Napoleon favored it but
nothing came of the plan owing to
war and Napoleon's downfall. 1t was
not until Napoleon III came to the
French throne that actual preliminary
work was undertaken, with the ap-
n~oval of the French ruler and Queen
Victoria.
Then came the France-Prussian war
and the scheme again lapsed. Short
ly after that war a convention was
signed between France and England
setting forth the conditions under
which the tunnel should be construct
ed. On the English side boring oper
atoms were begun near Dover at q
depth of $50 feet and a seven foot
tunnel strategy developed in the Brit
lsh parliament against the project
and again it was dropped.
