SIX VESSELS
 ARELAUNCHED . AT OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 13 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Six steel vessels, to- taling nearly 6O,OOO tons, were launched in Oakland inner harbor Sat urday, in space of less than an hour the largest number of ships and the greatest tonnage ever set a1oat on one tide in the history of shipbuilding.
 The nearest approach to this worlds record was when Hog Island .sent five vessels into the water on May 30 last, totaling 5000 tons.
 The sextuple launching was made the event of a countrywide celebra- tion under the auspices of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce Ten thousand invitations were sent out to federal, state, county and city officials and dis tinguished personages, but as the gates were thrown open to the public, it is estimated that ten times that number were present. The crowd is said to have been a record-breaker also in the witnessing of a launching.
 Admira1s, generals and high officers of the marinees, with their staffs, were special guests, as were members of the consular corps and officials of. the United States Shipping Board. Six bands, one for each vessele, furnished music.
 The first ship to go "overboard" was the Salina, 10,000-ton tanker, named after the city in Kansas as a reward for it's subscription in the Victory loan. Mrs. R. J. Laubengayer of Salina was the sponsor
 At ten-minute intervals the Janelew, a 9,4OO-ton cargo boat, christened by Mrs. R. s. Moore of San Francisco, and the tanker Sapulpa, another Vic tory loan ship, christened by Mrs. J. ". Hoover of the Oklahoma city, took the water.
 Miss Natalie Byington of Reno, Nev., sponsored the City of Reno, another Victory loan ship, and this was fol- lowed by the Mosella and the Jalapa, for which the sponsors were respec- lively Mrs. J. A. Moore and Mrs. George A. Armes of San Francisco.
 While the launchings were taking place airplanes flew overhead, carry ing official photographers and motion picture men, and dropping confetti, serpentines and flowers A mimic battle was fought with the planes, us ing daylight fireworks.
 Following the launchings there was a parade from the yard through the principal streets of Oakland to the headouarters of the Chamber of Com merce. This was participated in by the army, the navy and the marines, and by state federal, city and county officials, civic and commercial organ izations, lodges, secret societies and other organizations, all in gaily deco rated automobiles.
 At the Hotel Oakland, following the parade, luncheon was served Ill honor of the sponsors and the 4istin~ guished guests.

ARKANSAS CROPS
EXCELuST YEAR
Despite One Of Worst Seasons
in Years Good Re-
ports Come in.

Despite one Of the worst seasona 10
years, the 1919 yield Of ali crops IN Ar
kansas will be in excess OF the 1918
yield, according to ESTIMATES furnished
in the Southern Aluvial Land assoeia-
ton by the Arkansas cooperating crop
reporting service. Practically every
crop win produce IN excess Of the To-
year average. This Is particularly true
Of apples and sweet and Irish potatoes.
The apple crop Is one Of the best the
state has eve had, both as 10 quantity
and quality, The new report presents
no unexpected features, but bears out
forecasts that have been made each
month BY the crop reporting service.
Eight hundred reports from over the
state Indicated q condition OF bb per
cent for cotton Oct. %, but since that
time rains have been heavy and almost
continuous, and the service has made
no Rew estimate, saying only that the
state yield In the fields probably Is
900, 600 bales, with much doubt as to
Just how much Of II will be picked.
The o production is just about up
70 normal and a little better than in
1918. The short 1918 crop, however,
has left only per cent on hand az Of
Nov, l. Total production win be a.
500, 900 bushels the service estimates. In
commenting. II lie "hard 10 understand, -
the service says why only one-haif Of
per cent Of the corn raised is put In
silos. II Is said the farmers are not
making use Of silos which their value
warrants. though other crops than corn
are being used as silage.
The Irish potato yield this year Is so
bushels an R~crexbetter than last year,
but there is an Ncreage decline. sweet
potatoes are yielding 10 bushels better
than a year ago, LOSS from rot owing

How can a man be glad, and
taste the joyous years, If he
makes woe a fad, and lays the
dust with tears? Some find this
life so gay, with all its glaring
faults, they hate to pass away,
to rest in boneyard vaults. They
know the life to come, devoid of
tears and woe, will make this
life seem bum, and yet they hate
to go. And l am in their class I;
