THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY COUNCIL

Good for the FARMS good for the towns good for the
naton-GOOD ROADS!
Every good road is blessing to its locality Where
the roads in good shape intercourse between the
town and the country tributary to it is facilitated Perish
able products from the farm instead of being left to spoil
on the ground can be brought promptly into town. and
either utilized there shipped away to find hier mar
ket The town has the benefit Of increased trade from
the farmers.
To these manifest advantages may add the les
sening of wear and tear horsefesh, wagons and
tomobiles which good horoughfares bring and the pre-
vention of a thousand annoyances.
Social and civic intercourse are also made much cas-
Ter for the farmers If they reach their nearest town
in ease and comfort they will make friends there take
interest in it's improvements and business and become
members-and most valued ones-of the community.
A new body called the Federal Highway Council has
just been organized further the building of hard roads

Gil to State and local organizations working in harmony
with them and striving toward the same end.
will back the Townsend bill now pending in Cnogress
which approprates S425 100000 for national highways
This sum- if legislators pass the law will be used to

An excellent reason for carrying out this work at
present is the amount Of employment it would supply to
returned soldiers and sailors The benefits of this un
dertakng would be felt by every class of people in the

Pratt, deputy sheriff, had been
wounded.
The confessions were taken to ex-
plain the rapidity with which armed
blacks were assembled at Hoop Spur
and the neighboring town of Elaine,
following the incident. The state
ment added that at the time Adkins
was killed there were $50 negroes in
the church at the scene of the shoot
ing. Some cf these were women, it
was said, carrying automatic revolv-
ers in their stockings.

$4,000 Rounds Found.
Fifty thousands rounds of ammu-
milton was discovered Saturday in the
Branch, Normal school at Pine Bluff,
according to telephone message re-
ceived here from Mayor Hollis of
that city. The institution is a large
negro school maintained by the
state. This report and evidence
found locally lead authorities here to
believe the contemplated uprising
was of more than local nature.
Members of the investigating COM
mittee declared there is every evil
dence that incendiary individuals
have been melting the negroes in the
name of the federal government.
Among other things, it was stated,
they were to led to believe a part of
the government at Washington up
held them in arming and organizing
against the whites; that large tenn
pie and armories were to be erected
at Washington for the convening of
their congress" and for federal
training of 5000 soldiers to protect
them in their uprising.
Much of the evidence is known to
be directed in an effort to establish
conclusively connection of white men
with the agitation, and there is said
to be strong indications of such
relation. Only two whites were in
custody here following the weeks
disorders. A man named Fuller was
brought in from Postelle Saturday
night and placed in the county jail.

law firm, has been in custody several

NEGROES ADMIT
WIDE ARKANSAS
MASSACRE PLOT

HELENA, Ark, Oct. 6.-That or
ganized negroes of Southern Phil
lips county, of which this city is the
seat of government, had planned a
general slaughter of white people in
the locality tomorrow was definitely
revealed here yesterday by authoriZ-
ed Investigators of the past week S
disturbances in that section.
According to these authorities, the
plot included a widespread uprising
in the event certain demands were
not met. With today set as the day
for the uprising, negro prisoners are
said to have confessed, each member
of the organization at specified places
was to have picked bale of cotton
by that date, take the cotton to GER
tain prominent land owners, planta-
ton managers and merchants and
demand a settlement" The con-
fessions, as announced, made it ap-
pear to the investigators that with
out further ado following this de-
mand the blacks were to shoot down
all whites in sight. A list of twenty
one names, admitted to represent
the men to whom the demand would
be placed, is in the hands of the in
vestigating committee.
Killing of these ttwenty-one, the
prisoners said, was to be the signal
for all members of the organization
to attack the white population. An
extensive courier system was explain
ed in the evidence, providing for
messengers known to the negroes as
paul Reveres."
To Summon to Arms.
These couriers had been duly ap-
pointed to ride into all parts of the
territory, according to the testimony,
and summon members to arms. The
organization concerned was declared
to be the local lodge of the Progress
sive Farmers and Household Union
of America, confscated literature of
which designates Washington, D. c.,
as national headquarters, with state
offices at Winchester, Ark.
"We've just begun" was the pass
word of the uprising, the negroes
told the investigators. This pass
word and the "Paul Revere" couriers
were confessed to have been employ
ed last Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning in summoning blacks
to Hoop Spur, eighteen miles south
of Helena, after W. A. Adkins, spe-
cial agent of the Missouri Pacific rail

equally temperamental as himself, the renegade

DARK DAYS.

THERE is trouble everywhere, as the days dis
patches show, discomfort is in the air, every
fellow has his woe. From our homes in Easy
street we come charging forth. each day, asking,
in the name of Pete, for all kinds of higher pay.
In our gaudy cars we ride up and down the
crowded pike, roaring that we are denied luxu-
res enjoyed by Mike. In our silken shirts and
socks we denounce the plutocrats who have
gathered in more rocks than we've boarded in
our flats All this discomfort in view is an after
war disease; it is like the Spanish flu, which but
lately made us sneeze. And the flu, as you We
been told, ran its course and hzzled out, giving
place to ailments old, rheumatic and mumps
and gout. And the present ament dire, which
is soaring us today, raging like house aHre,
soon will wilt and fade away. Soon vel gather
as of yore, chewing topics safe and sane; gather
at the Blue Front store, talking of the need of
rain; and we'll anayze the crops till the theme
has made US hoarse, when this plague of crazy
yawps, like flu, has run it's course.

A Bit of This and That
SUGAR NOT NEEDED FOR CANNING.

Saws a u. S. Department of Agriculture bulle-
tin:
Don't let surplus fruit go to waste because
you cannot obtain sugar to use for preserving pur
poses Fruit can be successfully canned without
it and it can be sweetened when served or syrup
can be used in place of sugar to sweeten it
To can without sugar simply fill the jars con-
tanning the fruit with clean hot water instead of
the usual syrup, and process the jars in hotwater
bath The fruit will not spoil but it will not have
quite so fine flavor and color as that which is
packed in syrup.
Directions for canning by the cooked in the
can method should be carefully followed to can
successfully without sugar.
Fruits canned without sugar are especially
good in salads, desserts pie filings, ices and in
fruit punches They also be made into jams
and marmalades when sugar is obtanable. Fruit
ried during the winter season are the fruits put
up unsweetened. These fruit juices are also
available for jelly at future time when sugar is
plentiful Vegetables need no sugar. and
plenty of canned vegetables are always acceptabIe
during the winter months
Fruit and vegetables may be high and sugar
carce, but the margin of difference in price between
the home canned and the commercially canned
product is likely to be as great as when both fresh
fruit and vegetables and canned goods were lower
in price The wise are still practicing home can
