BLIZZARD WILL GRIP
 STATE WARNS BROUGH
Warning Sent Out Last Night by Gov. BrOugh That Arkansas Would Be
 Visited By COldest Blizzard.

According to news received last night from very authentic source, Pine Bluff, will in few hours, be in the grip of the coldest blizzard in many years. Governor Brough called Mayor Bloom last night and stated that he had been notified by weather bureau that Arkansas would be vis- lted by the most terrific blizzard in many years. The Governors mes- sage was in the nature of warning for immediately upon receipt of the news, he began to notify all towns in the state so that they might prepare.
 With the exception of the recent spell, Pine Bluff has been basking all winter in the warm smiles of indul- gent weather, but now the sombre specter of gaunt winter is to be seen stalking grimly through the grey mist of what has been a day of sunshine, and soon the icy talons of the Demon of Cold will be clutching the state in its freezing grasp.
 Those who have been able to get stoves other than gas stoves' and fuel other than gas fuel, will be fortunate indeed.
 Many have been forearmed by the suspension of the flow of gas, and have provided themselves with equip ment to ward off seige of real win ter. Many, however, have been inn provlslng means for securing heat. presuming that the weather would re- main pleasant or that the gas would be on shortly. Theres will be limited means to care for those who are un- prepared, however. 5.a
 H. c. Couch of the Pine Bluff com pany, also received notice of the cold wave yesterday afternoon, and got in touch with coal fields and ordered two additional cars to be shipped out at once. He also communicated with railroad officials who promised to set these cars for transportation as soon as received, and MT. Couch was assur- ed they would reach here by tonight. row night.
 MT. Couch stated that besides the present stock of coal on hand these additional cars would be plenty to tide Pine Bluff over any reasonably cold spell, but admonishes the people to use fuel judiciously, as no one can tell how long this spell will last.

ROTARY CLUB WILL SPONSOR AR
 MENIAN DRIVE

The principal matter before the Rotary club at it's weekly neon hour meeting at the Hotel Pines yester- day was the coming Armenian relief drive. In the words of Dr. Norris, "it is a Rotary job, and we must turn our efforts to the relief of the suffering Armenians with character istic vim"
 Another matter which came up for discussion, and which the Rotary club will sponsor is the Boys Re- form School. Joe Boyse and Leo An- drews made short talks in behalf of the school. MT. Boyse made an ap- peal for everyone to prevail on the next legislature to grant an initial appropriation of around $150.0O0 for new buildings and furniture togeth- CT With biennial appropriation of something like $75,OO0 for the main tenanca of the institution.
 A vote of thanks was rendered by H.. K, Toney, president oi the club, to Leo Andrews and H. c. Couch for bringing the Reform School boys to Pine Bluff on Christmas eve ana treating them to feed.
 An interesting feature of the meet ing was in oratorical contest. The participants were: Joe Norris, Dr. E C. MclMullen.. Warren Taylor, Leo Andrews, Bill Breathwit, and Fred Foster
 The eloquence which emnated was like the sparkling of old wine in shining glass. There was depth. and body, shot through with sparkling glints of wit.
 Dr. Norris spoke on the signifi- canoe of 1918. Dr. McMulien spoke on the eradication of malaria from Pine Bluff. Fred Foster jovial!y agreed with Dr. McMullen's opin-. ions. Bill Breathwit told of how the war was won. The winners will ne announced at the next m eeting.
 Misses Kathleen Collier and Eliza beth Morgan were visiting ladies at the club, being guests of Tom Col Her
 -H..C. Couch, president of the Arr kansas Light and Power company had the following directors of this company as his guests today: w. c. Ribenack. president of the Stout Lumber. company, Thornton, Ark; Chas. and Ross Mccain of Little Rock. and J. F. Mullins. head of the Denning Coal company, Atlus, Ark.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL
 DISPENSE WITH GAS

The public schools of the city will dispense with the gas heating arrange ment. and will depend in the future on a coal heating system, according to a statement made yesterday by Dr. Jun jus Jordan, vOicing decision made by the school board.
 E. A. Howell, president of the school board has announced tha tthe work of installing the coal heating will begin today, and that it is the hope of the school board to be ready to open the schools by tomorrow morning. In the event that the new heating arrange ment can not be completed by Thurs day, schools will open as soon as the day will be announced.
 Schools Lost Much Time.
 recent statement by Prof. J. R. Allen, of the High School, shows that the schools of the city have been closed for something over two months This long period of forced inactivity will hardly necessitate the taking over of certain courses, however, and it is hardly likely to delaVgraduauion on. Noth- ing definite has yet been announced as to methods to be employed to make up the lost time. At any rate, it will be the policy of the school board to push all work, and leave out possibly normal activities which might inter- fere with academic pursuits
 A meeting of all the principals will be held shortly for the purpose of dis cussing plan to wake up the work,
