Woman Who Fed
London is One of

London, Nov. 13.-One of the most
interesting figures brought into the
limelight of publicity during Eng.

E. M. Hopwood, now called "the wo-
man who fed London"
Miss Hopwood was secretary to g
large commercial firm in the North
of England and Der business ability
was so we'll recognized that when the
ministry Of food was organized, she
was called to the service of the gov
eminent. She scored such success in
her emergency war-wcrk that she
was appointed at the beginning OF
the railway strike as food dstribu-
ton officer for the whole metropoli.

She has an energetic manner that
is source of inspiration to her staff
During the strike she worked stead
lily from eight in the morning until
ten at night, taking her meals in her
office.

Bullfighting May
Stage Comeback
in Mexican Cities

Mexico. City, Nov. 13.-(By the
Associated Press.)-An energetic Ell
fort is being made to restore bun-
fighting. which has been in eclipse
since President Carranza, in 1915,
prohibited such spectacles in the fed
eral district and officials elsewhere
frowned upon the sport. A petition
asking that the presidential decree
be revoked. signed by more than one
thousand citizens of the city of Ori-
zaba, is now in the hands of the
chamber of deputies and action upon
it by the lower house is expected
shortly. A similar petition last year
failed in its purpose by single vote
Many persons believe that, with
stronger pressure brought to bear
this year, favorable decision will be
reached.
Indications of desire to see how
far they may go without official in
reference, is the staging of several
exhibitions in Mexico City and it's su-
burbs within the past few weeks,

doris would "play with the bull" they

ship, Nagato, largest war-ship vet

Jefferson County
Valuation Won't
Be Boosted Now

The state tax commission will not
increase assessed valuations in JEFF
ferson county for two years, at least
County Clerk l.. II. Salee was ad-
vised by Commissioner Martinean
satisfactory settlement is made with
yesterday that the board had voted
against the proposal of Monroe
Smith, one of the three members OF
the commission, to make blanket in
creases in jefferson amounting to
25 per cent on personal property and
33 1-3 on real estate.
Property owners appeared before
the commission at Little Rock We'll
nesday, and protested against Mr..
Smiths proposal. pointing out that
injustice would be done those who
have assessed properly, ard that the
Smith scheme is not in accord with
the commissions duties to equalizc
assessments.
Assessments of real estate. as
made by Assessor Clayton Gould will
stand for two years, as real property
is assessed only every other year.

'Order Maintained
In Austrian Capital
Despite Big Strike

Vienna. Nov. Is. (By the Asso-
ciated Press. Order was main
tanned in the Austrian capital during
the recent general railway strike and
suspension for eight days of street
car service. To save electric light
and gas, apartment houses, coffee
houses and restaurants were REQUIRED
to close early. This increased the
food shortage and put the public to
great inconvenience as during the
eight days the strike lasted the doors
of the apartment houses were closed
at p. m.
, The only profiteers were the por'
ters of apartment houses and the
drivers of public carriages. The car
riage drives charged exorbitantly.
There are only 800 of these vehicles
/ in the city and virtually no taxicabs.
One physician wrote to a newspaper
that he was compelled to pay 1000
crowns to be driven mile to dying
patient.
One anti-Jewish demonstration
was checked by the polices before it
had reached the riot stage.
AS the government now is, with
/, the Workmen and Soldiers council!
playing SuCIl q oCAoHS paw,
seems no attempt to regulate public
transportation charges and the driv-
ers exact what they can.
At this writing the menace Of
another coal famine still hangs over
the city. The coal supply is most
uncertain and affects transportation
so directly that the food supply is
seriously involved. The peasants still
refuse to let grain come to the city,
and are boarding potatoes and other
standard foods. The Vienna papers
charge, that in the agricultural dis
tricts there is ample food of all kinds.
Returning travellers from country
districts tell the hungry Vienese OF
milk and butter and cheese in plenty,
as we'll as sugar.
The farmers have made money uu-
til they are rich and. as the crown
no longer has a purchasing value to
speak Of. >. they do not want any more.
Here tales are told of pianos, phono-
graphs, rugs and pictures filling
peasant farm-houses where the city
jewellers have exchanged the mfor
food.
The peasants have been warned
that if Vienna really begins to starve
this winter they may look for civil
war, as the city jewellers will organ
ize and arm and invade the agricul-
tural districts.
Eggs have practically disappeared
from the city and there is this week,
, bare two-week's supply of grain
and potatoes in reserve.

Unique Ways to
Make Saloons of
Chicago 'FDry Bars

Chicago, Nov. 13.--The problem of
placing the hundreds Of Chicago sa-
looms on the "dry" basis is being
solved in various and unique ways.
The Rev. George Kilby, general
manager of the Chicago Christia.1
Industrial league, is trying one way
by turning "saloonist" himself anc

A hotel with 900 beds to be let at
from 10 cents to 25 cents each a
night is being operated in connection
with the club rooms. In the base
ment shower baths, wash bowls and
facilities for the patrons to do their
own laundry work are installed. A
restaurant in connection completes
the hotels facilities. Cold weather
is expected to augment greatly the
institutions patronage.
Another former saloon has been
converted into club house for chill
dren. The children call it the "Rei,
White and Blue Club" and at times
more than one hundred children are
reading and playing where the for
mer patrons of the saloon played
cards and discussed their stems.
The "Red, White and Blues were
first organized as a part of the work
of the women's committee, Council
of National Defense, and since then
has been financed through the eff

AGRICUL TURE WILL.
BE- TAUGHT IN TIVE
State RURAL SCHOOLS
Big Movement Begun by U. of
A. and Department of
Agriculture.

Fayetteville, Ark, Nov. ia pro
ject said to be of inestimable value
to the state Of Arkansas. is being ar.
ranged this week by E. Fl. Shinn OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture 1t is a triangular agree
meent between the department Of
agriculture, the college of agricul-
ture Of the University of Arkansas
and the Arkansas state department OF
education, to establish the teaching
of elementary agriculture in the ru-
raj schools of the state.
A course of study in general agri-
culture will be worked out by Dean
Martin Nelson and the faculty OF
the college of agriculture, Mr.. Shin1
and the state board of education. The
course, to be given in the sixth. sew
enth and eighth grades, will include
only that part of farming practiced
in the state. That is, nothing con-
cerning products not grown or not
in wide use in Arkansas will be
touched on in the course Of study
prepared. The course will then be
printed, ready for use in the schools.
The same work will be offered IN
each school giving the elementary
agriculture work.
1t is planned that the pupils can
go from the grade schools to the
high school giving the th-Hughes
work, or to the secondary agricul-
tural schools with a firm basic knowl-
edge of agriculture of their state.
The state board of education will
publish the course of study, which
it is expected will be ready for use
by the beginning of the TALL term Of
1920.
The agricultural instruction d.
vision. of the department Of agricul-
ture decided to aid in the establish
ment of such courses in eight states
Many more applied to be on the list,
stated Mr. Shinn, but the ones chosen
were, Ohio. Wisconsin,, Virginia,
Alabama, with courses in
use, Vermont and Mississippi with
work prepared, and Arkansas.
Mr. Shirn is very enthusiastic over
Arkansas getting the course, espe-
cially since he is an Arkansas. He
was graduated from the university
in 1910, and then for six years taught
in the secondary agricultural scho u
at Russellville. He is now assistant
in the States Relation Service of
the United States department of ag
riculture.
He said, in response to a question,
as to the value of such course of
work in Arkansas, that such instruc-
ton would be inestimable to the ag-
ricultural interests of this state and
this part of the United States.
Similar courses to this, that have
been prepared in Ohio, Wisconsin,
Virginia, Maryland and Alabama
have proved to be very successful,
according to Mr.. Shinn. and great
benefits have been derived from them.
Dean Nelson Of the College of Ag-
riculture declared himself unquaE-
fiedly in favor of the project, saying
that he could not express his gratifi-
cation that Arkansas was able to Sc
cure such a course for it's schools. He
attributed this fact that such instruc-
ton in agriculture was made posi-
BILE through Mr.. Shinn's interest in
his native state and it's agricultural
growth.
