The man killed was a Mexi- can, and with colony employed their on special construction work of the railroad, got into a free-for-all fight. It is reported that the men were drinking and gambling, and in the course of the game two of them became angry and went to using their knives on each other, one being stabbed so seriously he died in short while. Constable R. A. Cockrill made the arrest of the party doing the kill ing, but we were unable to get their unpronounceable names over the telephone this afternoon.

CHURCH SOCIETY ENTERTAINs

The Epworth League of the Meth odist church entertained their friends last evening in the parlors of the church with Valentine party, which was very prittily arranged and was most enjoyable, the young people all entering heartily into the pleas ures of the evening. Red and white hearts were strung across the rooms three or four times and in honor of St. Valentine cupids were very much in evidence. Red shaded lights also added to the pretty effect. The for tune teller and palmist were on hand to tell the girls and boys all about the future, when and whom they should marry, which, of course, was very interesting. Misses Joyce Stone and Katharine Garrett were the much sought after Gypsies and filled their obligations in most sat isfactory manner, Their costumes and makeup were ideal. Games and music were parts of the evening en- tertainment and splendid lunch concluded the pretty affair.

A HAPPY SEQUEL OF THE WAR.

New York, Feb. 12-Two "Dead" men--or at least each thought the other had been killed in battle-have met in New York and have been try ing to convince one another that the reports of their deaths were grossly exaggerated. The resurrection scene was in the hallway of No. BAY Madison avenue, the headquarters of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A. Just as a rangy ma rine, who wore two wound stripes, chevrons indicating eighteen months overseas service, Croix de Guerre, a marksman's medal and an overseas service ribbon, passed through door, another man in uniform sprang up. This second man also wore Crolx de Guerre, on his Y. M. c. A. Uniform. He pinched himself severely.

 Little Rock, Feb. 15.-The Cham bliss bill levying tax on motor trucks that are operated on the im- proved highways, one of the most difficult measures, it appears for the house to agree upon, come in for more discussion. The author sub mitted the following amendment, which was adopted, by close vote: "All automobiles carrying passen- gers for hire over the state and coun- ty highways shall pay license fee of $25 per year in the county in which they originate. This shall not apply to mail carriers, star-route carriers, or automobiles in rural sections which do not make a business of carrying passengers for revenue. Provided, further, that this act shall not be enforced until July 1, 1919 on automobiles that have already paid a license fee of $35 or over to the city Little Rock" The bill was then made special order for 10 a. m. today.

TIME FOR ARKANSAS TO WAKE UP AND EN-
 PLOY A BIOLOGIST

There was never a time in the his- tory of Arkansas when it needed the assistance of the geologist more than it does today.
 Arkansas resources are but little developed. Its soils, clays, coal, lead, iron, petroleum, gas and other re- sources need the hand and mind of educated and practical geologists as never before.
 Dr. John c. Branner's short term as State Geologist in the sos brought millions of dollars into the state and is bringing more into the state every day.
 Geologist Owens in the '50's did a work that assisted, and is assisting, but the work of these men has been but an appetizer, causing us to wish to know more of Arkansas great and unbounded resources.
 The demand is for that knowledge that only the scientific and learned geologist can give. The United States has made from time to time special geological surveys since 1890, but these are of little general value to the public since they are not in ac- cessible form.
 What we need is a genuine geolog- ical survey made at home, made by honest, scientific men who knew how to eat corn bread, hog-jowls and greens. The reports of Dr. Branner so far as made are equal in learning to any that can be found in the libra- ries of the country. They are writ ten in such language that they can be read and understood even by the laymen.
 What Arkansas and the world now needs is more geological work and this is an immediate need.
 There is pending a proposition in the legislature for the creation of the office of State Geologist, and we believe there are enough progressive members of that body to see the ad- vantages that will accrue to the

PRESIDENT READS
 LEAGUE COVENANT I
The Reading Required Thirty Five Minutes Without Interruption
 Or Applause.

Paris, Feb. 14- President Wilson was the central figure of the plenary peace conference at 2:30 this after noon when in person he read the cov- enant establishing a league of-na- tions.
 There was added interest in the session, as it was the last gathering of the delegates before the president $ departure ;4s well as being the occas- ion of presenting the document with which his name is identified.
 The president was received with military honors as he arrived at the Foreign Office and the large crowds gave him cordial welcome as he passed through. The delegates were assembled when the president entered the council chamber
 When he entered the chamber, the president was greeted by Premier Clemenceau, Foreign Secretary Bal four and Viscount Miner of Great Britain, and the American delegates at the head of the table. There was little formality. Premier Clemenceau called the conference to order and President Wilson arose and address ed the meeting.
 q have very great pleasure" said President Wilson as he began, "in presenting the report of the commis- sion, which has framed the constitu- tion of league of nations. am par ticularly happy to be able to say it is a unanimous report, signed by the representatives of all the powers on the committee"
 President Wilson spoke earnestly but without oratorical effect.
 "The best report l can make" the president said, "is to read the docu- ment itself"
 He read from a printed sheet the constitution of the league while the assembly followed his reading with the closest attention. While the president was reading, Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by the presidents naval aide, was escorted to place back of the delegates table.
 The reading continued for 35 min- utes without interruption or ap- plause. As he closed the president laid aside the document and spoke. of what had been accomplished. The deliberations of the commission had been most instructive and through out the proceedings there was an un- dertone of enthusiasm in the great work being accomplished, he said.

 But I read your funeral service I saw you buried in Beeleau Wood" expostulated Dr. John H. Clifford, of Tucson, Arizona, the "Y' man who received a Croix De Guerre for carry ing wounded Marine Colonel from the battlefield under fire. For that and other acts the Y. M. c. A.. man, popularly called Good Old Bap tist Doc and Doe of the Fifth Marine Regiment" had been decor ated with Marine Corps buttons and insignia. The man whose hand he wrung was Theodore J. Walman, of No. 8O6 Elton Avenue, the Bronx, New York City, a. bugler of the 20th Company, Fifth Regiment. In the Belleau Wood, a fighting Waldman was detailed as runner, one of those fearless heroes who risked their lives to carry orders or infor tion.
 "Why! bless me! I can't believe the good news," murmered Doc" happily. "On the 7th of June I said prayer over the assembled frag ments of a body the boys said was yours. Why, you old imposter, you! Time and again I've told how you sacrificed your life there to save Lieutenant Elmore, who was wound ed. You've probably spoiled whole lecture tour for me-"
 "C est la guerre, Doc," grinned Waldman. "Toug hluck. I'd like to oblige, but my death has caused too much trouble already. I was offi- cially reported Killed in Action and and when I walked in home my mo- ther tainted. My fiancee also believ- ed me dead. But how about you? A lot of the boys of the 20th told me a piece of shrapnel took off your roof and as I figured, that would spoil you as preacher, I supposed you were dead How about it? If I lay off your death, will you deny mine 2"
 "Tll tell the world sol" proclaimed the Y. M. c. A. man as he and the other resurrected "dead man" struck palms. The report concerning Wald- man had foundation in the fact that he was wounded in the thigh by a machine gun fire, in the heat of the great marines fight at Belleau Wood and was in hospitals for months.

state and put this thing over. These men are not only willing that it be done, but they will insist that a learned. competent and thoroughly efficient geologist be appointed
 The Bureau of Mines, Manufac- lures and agriculture endorses the idea, and it always has it's ear to the ground to determine popular opin- ion. The majority of the state intel ligently endorse all that has been said in favor of it. They will give the glad hand of appropriation to ev- cry legislator who votes for a geo. logical survey, because they know that the few dollars spent in the Branner survey has been an invest ment that has yielded many fold re- turns, and they know further that such survey in the light of modern development will be worth millions to the men and women who earn their living by the sweat of their brows.
 These views are supported by John c. Small, chief deputy Commissioner, who said that he believed, if the mat ter were brought properly before the legislature, that body would act properly.
 Dr. Branner, now President Emeri- tus of Leland Stanford University in California, is twenty-five years old CT than when he made the original survey. Yet he maintains for Ark ansas a love and bouyancy for the great state that one is reminded that the waters of the thousand springs flowing from it's hillsides gave him the perpetual youth from which flows this exurberance.
 The Little Rock Daily News took up the matter with Dr. Branner, not expecting him to do the field work but thinking that he would make 3 most valuable President Emeritus fol the new. survey. pr.

legislation to carry out the presidents
recommendation will be introduced
by them after comforting with Repub-
lican leaders.
The Presidents message said that
food shipments worth $500 90 1000
must be made from the United States
to Europe In the next seven months.
An International organization, direct
ed by Herbert G. Hoover, will super
wise the distribution of the supplies,
most of which will be paid for by per-
sons able to find the necessary re-
sources. The appropriation request
ed by the President will take care of
the population in other districts, no
tably in eastern and southern Europe
which have been ravaged by war.
In appealing ito the great sense of
charity and good will of the American
people toward the suffering" the
president said
while the sum of money is in it
self large, it is so small compared to
the expenditures we have undertaken
in the hope of lettering the world
that 1t becomes a mere pittance com
pared to the results that will be OBJ
tanned from 1t and the lasting effect
that will remain in the United States
through an act of such broad humani-
ty and statesmanlike influence"
The text of the presidents message
follows:
Extended investigation and con-
sideration of the food situation in
certain parts of Europe disclose that
essentially the urban populations in
certain areas are not only faced with
absolute starvation during the coming
winter, but that many of the popu-
lations are unable to find immediate
resources with which to purchase
their food. These regions have been
so subjected, to destruction by war,
not only of their foodstuffs. but of
their financial resources and their
power of production and exports. that
they are utterly incapable of finding
and resources that can be converted
into international exchange for food
purchases.
