PRESIDENTS QUARTERS.

PARIS, Jan. 11.-(By the Assoeiat- ed Press. )-The Paris white house. has gotten down to a working basis, which now resembles the organization of the executive mansion at Washing ten. It is a matter of remark that a great deal of the formalittes and trim iIgs which the president found when he came to the Murat palace has gradually disappeared. AS he is there as a guest, the president has been reluctant to change the household ar engagements, but he considered Ii necessary to dispense with some of the formalities usual to French po- bility
 Discard LiVerieS-
 When President Wilson arrived there was a formidable array of. foot men dressed in flaming red knee brooches, with stockings and long tailed coats. All these nancy liVeries have been put away; the palace at- tendaRts. now going about in the customary civilian dress of the white house employees in Washington.
 The president is using motor ears assigned by the army and driven by men in khaki. The only real sugges- tion of military is the guard about the palace, much in the same manner as the cOrdons of troops about the white house. ,.

PASTOR JAMES DRUMMOND BACK FROM OKLAHOMA
 CITY.

Rev. James Drummond has just returned from Oklahoma City where he attended a great district conference of the Presbyterian New Era Movement.
 Said MT. D. to the Argus man, this morning: ''It was an inspiring event. It is a real live united movement on the part of 1,631,74S Presby- terian Communicants in the United States towards accom- plishing the tremendous task confronting the church as a

which can not be added to in any way, and so with all the lots of the city of Brinkley. Another specie of misrepre- sentation l just heard was that in which it was said that we assessed the Bank of Brinkley with only $10 better ment while we assessed the Gazzola property just across the street, $15. Now the Bank of B1inkley property is only 50X100 feet or just 2-3 the size of the Gazzola property which is 50X15O. Thus it has been with every one of the misrepresentations which have been spread in order to prejudice the people and hin- der the building of the road. and for a time when the war embargo was on, it looked that we would have to wait for a while before we began work on the road, but we are going on now and will have practically all but the bottom road finished this summer. The s miles of bot tom road which is to be built of concrete will have to be put up and allowed to stand and take the winter rains for settling before we put the concrete on it, and hence this will be delayed"

GOING TO BUILD TIE HIGHWAY NOW
or,nhiey Highway Commissioners, Having Overcome VDtacles, Expect 10 Finish Greater Part of nonroe County Section This Year. Concrete Bridges
 and Culverts to go in Right Away.

Hear the news-the Mon roe county section of the Cross State Highway is to be BUILT at last, and most of the work is to be done right away-just as soon as con- tracts can be let for it.
 The Commissioners Messrs. Elmo Clancy, Jas. Gum and R. J. Tory are advertising for bids for building of the concrete bridges and culverts and they inform the Argus man that the actual work on this important part of the 22 miles of roadway construction will be in operation before the end of this month.
 What about the various rumors and reports that are going the rounds by those who seek to kill the road?" was asked by the Argus man and an active member of the commission replied. on Tues day morning, Tn nearly every instance, the rumors and re- ports are absolutely false. For instance one of the reports that just came to me was that the law forming the pre- scribed district afforded the tax payers no protection The truth is that every acre of land in the district has a fixed betterment assessment

direct result of the world war. The war was fought for Chris tian ideals, and now that the war is won it is the duty of the church to carry out these ideas to their ultimate fulfiillment. Practical steps are now being taken to utilize the resources for the solution of these problems. What are the benefits to the community that this movement will bring? It will revitalize existing in stitutions through the recre- ation of spirit of fellowship and brotherhood, through the thinking by each individual of his personal duty in com munity terms. The New Era Movement is essentially a spiritual force, cultivating per- sonal and home ties, reviving the family altar and spread ing the Gospel through the community and administrat- ing practical aid and comfort to those in distress. It may be asked has not the church always considered these things it's duty? The church has been like the American people, a giant not exerting it's power. The New Era Movement is the resistless force of the re- world for Christ"

FLOWING DEMON.
 STRATION A SUCCESS
The Rice Farmers Made to Understand the Advantage of the Tractor in Flow
 ing for Rice.

The Argus man was in attendance at the Tractor Flowing Demonstration and School at Wheatley this week and I appreciate more than ever the splendid service being rendered the farmers of this section by Jacob Hartz, the clever manager of the Hartz Hardware Co.,, who had ar ranged this school and dem- onstration and Pm sorry in deed that the impossible roads kept scores of our en- terpridng Brinkley territory farmers from attending.
 The blowing was done by an engine gang blow, 3 big fellows all strung out and handled by the tractor driver and the Titan tractor that was pulling the blow was wear ing soft ground or mud "hooks" on it's big wheels. The tractor was burning coal oil and doing it perfectly and as it surely and perfectly drew the gang blows thro' the ground, I wondered why it was that there are not more of our farmers using tractors for blowing.
 Said a man who knows and has watched the rice growing game for more than s years, "There is an outfit costing less than $500 complete and will do the work of 3 men and nine or ten mules and do it better too. The feed for the 9 mules will cost more than that outfit will cost and free of charge from the amount of your feed bill for the mules for one season. The tractor that was doing the blowing had on extensive tires and 4 inch Jugs and the rim of the blow wheels also was wider than usual and hence I understood readily what Mr. Hartz meant when he said to me, "Yes, this is the outfit that floats"

made, etc, thousands of dol lars spent for preliminary work, etc, a bill is to be in- troduced to kill the bill. The fact that this 22 miles |of road is a link in the great est highway in the South, that counties all around us are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars for roads that the greatest need of our county today is real roads, that the killing of this district would practically bar every effort at real road building in this section for the next 15 or 20 years.
 This, I say, is enough for me to hope that those of our citizens who are against the road will suffer a signal defeat in their effort to re- peal the law.
 The Argus man is paying something like $3S tax per year or $760, 1 think, for 20 years on this road and yet he doesn't own a foot of proper ty that touches it, but this tax will be paid with a great deal of pleasure and satis- faction, if it but assists in the work of helping our peo- pie to see the advantage of this great improvement.
 Here's hoping you lose, Messrs Gazzola, Flora and others and yet with it all there's not a particle of per sonal unkindness in the wish to any one of the many signers.
