RED CROSS ARMY
 NON MODELLING
STATE CONFERENCES RECENTLY HELD IN SIX CITIES TO
 DISCUSS PLANS.
FIGHTING MEN VOLUNTEER
Responses by the Hundreds Pouring
 In to Appeal For 100000 Workers.

Mobilization of the vast army of Red Cross workers las begun Re- ports reaching Red Cross division headquarters in St. Louis indicate that plans for the Third Roll Call, Noyem- Der to II, are well under way in almost every one of the 655 Red Cross Chapters in the five Missouri, Kansas Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan- sas - comprising the Southwestern Division.
 Chapter Roll Call Directors have been appointed in virtually every city, town and county and with but few exceptions working organizations are in process of formation at each place State Directors have been appointed to take charge of the rapidly forming machine. Added impetus has been given to the preliminary campaign by the holding of Statewide Roll Call conferences recently at St. Louis, ] Topeka. Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City and Little Rock, at which definite campaign plans affecting every section of each State in the division were decided upon.
 Meanwhile, responses to the call for 100000 volunteer workers to serve during the coming drive are pouring in by the hundreds to Red Cross headquarters. Once a Red Cross worker, always a Red Cross worker is the slogan adopted Soldiers, sailors and marines, some of whom were in the thick of the fighting overseas, are offering their services Many of these men will be utilized as speakers to describe some of the benefits accruing to the fighting men by reason of the presence of the Red Cross in the field of hostilities.
 During the first part of the cam paign there will be a house-to house canvasslng for Red Cross member but on the last two days district lines will be disregarded and former service men as well as women volunteer workers will take up their tasks with rowing commissions. Not only are discharged service men wanted as Red Cross canvassGrs but State and National Guardsmen are urged to enroll as quickly as possible. The Red Cross welcomes assistance of all former Army and Navy officers and mon who approved of the work of the Red Cross during the war.

The services of some of the fore most artists in the country have been obtained in connection with the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November ? to Il. Posters by Howard Christy and Has, kell Coffin are features of a prelim- mary text poster campaign that is being inaugurated.
 The Christy poster is entitled "The Spirit of America" A silken flag the National Colors-forms the back ground in front of which stands the appealing figure of Red Cross nurse. At the bottom of the poster is a large red cross and the inscription Join"

sustaining his own part in solo work most creditably and these numbers will be one of the very enjoyable features of the program.
 The boys will render the first half hour of their program in their ser vice uniforms-snappy jazsy songs of the camp and the march, like T Hate to Get Up In the Morning; the rally songs and love ballads of the dough- boys-al with the typical doughboy spirit.
 For the main part of their program they appear in evening dress as a straight male quartet giving such an entertainment as only male voices of perfect blend and harmony can give. Passing from gems of classical and operatic music they render in their inimitable manner the latest popular airs. Then for variety comes comic readings, monologues and specialties by various members of the company. The Lyceum management presents this company with great confidence because each of the members of the company has had extensive expert ence in platform work before enter ing the service and there would be no doubt of the success of the attraction as an ordinary civilian quartet. With their unique experience as back ground and the timely songs of trench and camp as an interesting part of their program this quartet is bound to be one of the features of the Ly- ceum Course this season.

FIGHTING AMERl-
 CANS QUARTET

Few people realize the part that mu- sic has had in the winning of the war. That never-give-in spirit called morale is largely product of the cheerful ness due to the songs of the men on the march and in camp. And we have all heard these songs sung-most of us only at secondhand.
 The Fighting Americans, composed of four young men from the 4. D. F., will render a program on the local Lyceum course that will completely satisfy the longing of the home-folk to hear at first hand the songs of the boys in khaki.
 These soldier boys bring us the great World War in music. And the songs they will sing will show us that not all of the war was tragedy Much of it was fun and good fellowship and so in their program these soldier lads will show us the combination of fun, thrills and tragedy which is modern war. They will portray in song and pantomime the many sides of the life that has made mep out of weddings and heroes out of towards.
 Besides the quartet numbers there are excellent solos and duets. Each member of the company is capable of

to do their bit. Numerous accept ances already have been received from speakers and at present determined effort is being made to obtain the services Of all newspaper men who saw service overseas and are qualified to speak or write of their adventures A Preliminary campaign is being waged through text posters and other printed matter that has been sent to throughout the country.
 Red Cross officials are stressing the point that the drive is to be made fer memberships only and that no appeal is contemplated wherein the general public will be asked for funds An encouraging number of public spirited men and women through the division already have applied at Red Cross Chapters asking a renewal of the.r memberships for next year.

A COTTON SHORTAGE
 AND WHAT TT MEANS
By Jim G. Ferguson Commissioner of Agriculture

Two factors are operating to bring about a stringency in the worlds supply of cotton and au- thorities already are claiming to see the approach of a famine in this, one of the worlds great est stales. One of the causes, of which every cotton farmer is well aware, is the damage to the present crop from depredations of the boil weevil, the leaf worm and the boil worm. The govern ment estimate of 10,696,000 bales indicates loss of more than half a million bales of cot ton since September 2 and many are predicting that the 1919 crop will be under 1O,000,000 bales.
 This shortage comes at a time when the world demand is greater than it ever was before. It would probably require twice as much cotton as the South is going to produce to meet the needs of the spinners. There is but one condition that can re- suit and that a scramble to buy and a rise of prices. The spec ulators know this and they will buy before the advance, hoard their purchases in the compress es and city warehouses and sell it at a big profit.
 If this situation is true the man who can hold cotton is go- ing to make money. If the far mer sells now the speculator will make profit that really be- longs to the producer, for the mills, especially those of Eu- rope, are in position to buy cot ton only as they need it. They are not financially prepared to carry large supplies or to pre- vent the middleman from com ing in between them and the producer and putting on ficti- cious values, which the consum- CT must eventually pay.
 It is the duty of the farmers of Arkansas, and that of the bankers and supply merchants

NOT FULFILLING IT'S MISSION,
INSPECTORS ALLEoE.
COURTS BLAMED FOR
LACK OF COOPERATION
Inmates Mostly Girls Sent Up For
Petty crimes and Not Held For
Length Of limo suffoisnt TO Bring
About Rsforms-Club Women Of
State Urged to Become Interested.

Boone, July 23.-Roturning from
visit of inspection to the woman's rc-
formatory at Rockwell City. DIR. Eva
PEG and Mrs. Marion Brett reported
that there is talk of abandoning tho
institution.
Its purposes are admirable and the
work 1t could do under favorable con-
ditions would be invaluable to society.
But it is handicapped by lack Of CO.
operation on the part Of the courts.
Most Of the inmates who are In for
vagrancy and the lighter offenses. such
as small thefts. are girls who married
very young. often at Is. and have been
divorced.
Their sentences are not long enough.
Before the reformatory has had q
chance to exert u permanent influence
on them they are discharged.
Moreover the courts too often are
not serious enough in considering cases
of girls and young women Of this char
acter who are brought to justice. They
are paroled to parents who are un-
able to control or direct them Alright
in the first place, or are allowed to go
with a lecture. quite good enough but
not permanently effective.
In this situation DR.. Peo urges clubs
and the mothers Of tho state to take
more interest In the Rockwell City in
stitution. and the work it is calculated
to do. She hopes that club women
turnout the state will make every re-
sistance to the project of abandoning
the reformatory and simultaneously
will interest themselves in extending
it's work. They can exert a powerful
influence on the courts to send girls
to the institution for long enough
terms that they may gain real benefit
therefrom, and, at the same time. in
duce the courts not to dismiss persons
brought before them but to commit
them to the reformatory for their own
good.
Institution Beautifully Arranged.
DR.. PEG describes it as q beautiful
place. the buildings being in the plan
of the Roman and Greek architecture.
and are built in a circle, the large ad-
ministration building in the center, one
on each side. connected to the main
building with an arcade. The buildings
are all of white cement and are In the
center of a tract Of land Of about 200
acres. There is a fine library and read
ing room and school room, the base
ment being utilized as storage rooms.
There are no bars, gates or guards on
che grounds, the inmates being allowed
perfect freedom on the grounds.
