STRIKE MAY END
 W|TH|N' 'H0URs
General Strike Will Fail, Which Means Split Between Decent La-
 bor and the l. w. w.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 9.-Despite re- fusal early today of the Union Gen. tral Committee to suspend the gener- al strike order, street cars or all lines in Seattle operated on an almost nor mal basis today and traction compa- ny officials said service would be 100 per cent normal before tomorrow.
 Indications were, city officials said, that the strike would be broken by the gradual drifting away of unions from the committee controlling the strike.
 "The general strike has been de- moralized and will fail," Mayor Ole Hansen said today. "This means a split between decent labor and the In- dustrial Workers of the World"
 City officials declared Seattle would operate it's industries without union men and if necessary would advertise in the East and pay the fares of men to take the places of those who are  out.
 Two thousand members of the new ly organized American Legion of Lib erty, composed of former service men and soldiers still in uniform, were guarding private business places and patrolling beats in residential sections of the city today, officers of the legion announced. Half of the number were operating under direc- tion of Chief of Police Warren.
 Conservative labor leaders said to- night that when the general strike conference committee of union dele gates reassemble tomorrow morning they will renew the fight to have the sympathetic strike called off and a definite time fixed for it's expiration. They are said to believe the strike will end within "A hours.

America Calls On Public
 School Teachers For HelD

row, our great nation sends out call to the TEACHERS of America. Es- tablishing and conducting the MOD- ERIN HEALTH CRUSADE in all our schools in Newport and in Jackson County will take quite bit of time and effort on the part of the teachers and in SEEING that the children OBSERVE the Health Chores, the PARENTS can be invaluable to the teachers. Our Red Cross Executive Committee and School Board realize that the thing we need first and fore most in life is GOOD HEALTH and without it there is little we can at tain; hence, they have spent their money for the CRUSADE SUPPLIES with the hope that they may be USED and the results gained there from may be greater than they have dared to dream or plan for.
 wonder if you have heard that from the recent epidemic there were SIX MILLION deaths throughout the world? These appalling statistics could not have been had if everyone had observed from childhood the health regulations in accordance with the Modern Crusade. This is proved by the fact that in schools where the Crusade was already in progress the number of influenza victims was so small as to be negligible, in compari- son with the toll from nearby schools where the children, were NOT Health Crusaders. I am sure the TEACH FRS will recognize this tremendous opportunity of service not only to the children but to your whole community and County, and we ask you to use every means to make this Health Campaign success, as never before was there greater need for defin- ite Health Crusade, following as it does on the trail of the most awful epidemic the schools have ever known.
 To train good citizens we must first train healthy children and should the Public School fail to make citi- zens fit for Democracy this great na- tion would cease to hope.

 Little Rock, Feb. 10.--In his annual report, Dallas T .Herndon, of the His tory Commission, says of the Confed- crate Roster:
 Beginning some five years ago with nothing at all, spying out and picking up now and again an old muster roll here and there--precious possessions in the hands of few de- voted and battle-scarred veterans of the eos; by means of census of facts still stored in the memory of such of the veterans as were living not long since, the Commission has gathered a history of 30,000 of these old Southern heroes and put it into a roster in alphabetical form.

MIR. ALLEN OF SYMPTOM RECEIVES LETTER FROM
 MAJOR JNO. c. NELSON.

MT. Albert Allen of Swifton, has re- ceived letter from John c. Nelson, Major of the Quartermaster Corps, at Hoboken, N. J., asking him what dis position they should make of the per- sonal effects of his son, Private Jno. Allen, who died October IT, 1918 at Camp Mills, L. T., New York, of influ- enza at the base hospital.
 Major Nelson in expressing syna- pathy to the relatives of the dead sol- dier says:
 sIt is indeed sad duty which we must perform in asking you to conn ply with the legal requirements in orr der that you may have his personal effects of your son, and my keenest sympathy goes out to you in this hour of your bereavement. Private Allen has made the supreme sacrifice for his country and we instinctively re call the words, Greater than this can be said of no man-that he gave his life Tor his friend ]"
 gro give his life for his country is alone greater and proves the sn1y1c to make the world safe for democra-| cy and that such a democracy is worthy of the sacrifice" Private Allen was well known m Jackson county, where he had many friends, and while we were not per- sonally acquainted with the young soldier. we feel his loss deeply and sympathize with his bereaved rela- tives.

One of the greatest compliments ever paid by the people of nation to any of it's institutions has been paid by America to her public schools. She has turned to them to remedy ev- cry deficiency or home, church and community as it reveals itself in childhood and youth. Are the chil- dren hopelessly dirty? Shower baths are installed and the teacher super vises the cleansing process; or if taxes or high and the school commit tee not advanced enough for baths, teachers must see that the child is reasonably clean as to hands and face, at least. If he is underfed or poorly nourished, the teacher must report it; if he is served a school lunch the teacher must supervise that; if he is i'll, Teacher sees that the attention of a nurse or doctor is called to it, or if there be no school nurse or doctor, she must call the attention of care less home to it. If the child does not come to school, Teacher must know why. Teacher does all sorts of won derful things and recently in the midst of the world chaos, whole na- tion turns to Teacher asking that she teach patriotism and ideal Ameri- canism. And the miracle is that the public school has answered every de- mand with "We will attempt it!" In- deed, the public school has answered the demands of the nation in the spir- it of the men, who having cut the continent in two, came back from Panama, saying:
 "Got any rivers they say are uncross-
 able?
 Got any mountains you can't tunnel
 through?
 We specialize in the wholly Impos-
 sible--
 Doing what nobody ever could dol"
 It is because of the knowledge that each new call will be answered in that spirit, that in the name of the SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE" ]" the children and youth of today who will be our men and women of tomor-

WILL SHIP HOGs
 IN CARL 0AD L0Ts
MT. Whitaker, County Agent, Busy Working Up Cooperative Plan
 of Marketing Hogs.

County Demonstration Agent F. H. Whitaker is busy working up cooper ative shipments of hogs. There is general move all ovsxhe state under the supervision of the Extension Di- vision to market the farmers surplus hogs. There is scarcity of feed for these animals and by marketing them, the farmers will not have to pay the high prices for feed.
 The idea, as MT. Whitaker says. is to have the farmers cooperate by loading out their own hogs. As many farmers as want to can ship in the same car. The hogs will be marked and sold separately on the market and each farmer will pay their portion of the expenses.
 By shipping the hogs collectively to the market better prices are got ten. Two checks totaling $5264.89 were received by the county agents, James Sergent and Earl Smith Of Pulaski county for the farmers. Mr. Marx Valentine of the county had 20 hogs in one of the cars that topped the market at 17.65 cents. Mr. Val- entine says he received $7O more for his hogs by shipping them to St. Louis.
 The shipment brought all the way from 17.65 to 12.50 cents. The hogs that sold low were the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks." This is lesson to the farmers to raise good hogs.
 County Agent Strickland, at Hel- ena, has also just received return from car of hogs sent to the st. Louis market. The 72 hogs shipped netted the owner $2,148.23, after all expenses were paid. The price rerl pound averaged around 15 cents, though the price per pound, accord ing to the grade brought as high as 16 3-4 cents, while the lowest broucht IA cents.
 Any farmer who is interested wilI do we'll to get in touch with MT. Whit aker, who will be glad to take up tho matter further.

JOHN G. WOOLLEY
 LECTURES HERE.

John c. Woolley, probably the most widely known temperance lecturer and Anti-Saloon League worker in America, made two wonderful ad- dresses in our city Sunday, leaving this morning for Batesville, where he will lecture this evening. While the audiences Sunday were not large, ow- ing to the inclemency of the weather, those who heard him were well pleas ed and felt amply repaid for braving the weather. He is volume of infor- nation on his subject, telling of the wonderful work of the Anti Saloon League in the past and what it will accomplish in the future. Had the League not been busy at all times, accomplishments would not have been so great, many times working when the world did not know it. The pull pit, press and individuals have served largely, it is true, but this League was doubly responsible for the dry states. A popular subscription was taken at the two speaking places, the school auditorium and Christian church, and between seven hundred and a thousand dollars subscribed to carry on the work, this amount to be paid annually for five years. A dry nation is to be ours to enjoy and little later we are destined to live in "dry" world"

GERMAN POLICE
To BE SOLDIERS
See Violation of Peace Terms
in Latest Move in Prussia

Oh Inc associated Press.
COBLENZ, Aug. ia militariza-
ton of German police said to be con-
trary to the terms of the peace, has
already been begun, according to in
formation received here. In the city
OF Cassel, the police +, were recently
completely organized along military
lines by the Prussian government and
are now equipped with steel helmets
and rifles, and follow the routine of
a military company in their barracks.
OF the 800 state police in office in
Cassel, 100 have elected to be trans
ferred to the new organization and the
remainder have been given places in
the civil service.
The ultimate size of the military po-
lice organization has not been an
nounced. Americans studying the de-
mobilization and reorganization of the
German army say that the significance
of militarized police in Germany is
great.
American officers have records of
an announcement that the Prussian
state government, quite apart from
the national government, was to or
ganize q "schutzmannschamit' or
state police force throughout Prussia,
which would be a virtual unit in gar
risons with full infantry equipment,
but would be under control of the
minister of the interior and used only
for repression of internal disorders.
These troops, according to the plan,
were to be quite apart and in excess
of the army permitted Germany under
the terms of the peace.
A semi-oficial announcement, how
ever, states that it is appreciated that
these troops are not permitted under
the terms of the peace treaty, but the
hope is expressed that the allies will
be reasonable and permit their or
ganization. The Cassel incident, it il
~contended by American officers, &C.
curing long after the treaty was sign
ed, but before the allies and inter-
allied commission on military control
of Germany had begun to function
shows the Prussian government is
proceeding to organize a military
force, trusting the allies will not take
any action against 1t.
