Vershire Center, until, May /, 1915, she
moved to Vershire village with her
daughter During these years she de.
voted her time to her household duties,
showing her tenderest love for her chill
dren and grandchildren. Many Of the
townspeople will also sadly miss her
strong and willing hand. Only few
days before her last illness she came
home from work where she had been
helping in time Of need. Her children
rendered her the best of care during her
illness, Mrs Thomas, trained nurse,

 Several thousand boys and girls are members of the various clubs organ. ized through the Extension Division Of the University of Arkansas and I hope that it will be possible for all of them not only to send exhibits to the fair, but to come to the Centennial and take part in the great entertain- ment which will celebrate Arkansas one hundreth birthday
 If great fair like this is to ben. eft any body it is the boy and the girl of the farm whose impressionable minds are eager for knowledge.

HURRY-UP JONES
 BUILDS RUSSIAN RAILROADS FAST

SOROkA, Russian Lapland. Aug 25 (PD Pushing forward daily into territory of the Bolaheyiki and often under fire, the American railway troops on the Murman front in two months transformed 75 miles of dyn- amittd and burned bridges and rail way wrecked and destroyed by re. treating bolsheyiki, into workable railway which they manned. operated and maintained.
 To these troops the British com mand gives much credit of the seven lyGyc miles advance toward P"tro ZaNod~k In the contingent were 26 officers and G75 men, comprising the lGSth and l61th companies of railway troops as a special battalion under Major F.. r. McMoreland. Kansas City, and every kind of railroadcr from superintendent to section hand.
 The Yanks worked so fast in fact that the bolshoyiki according to pris. oncrs taken, believed that they had miraculous machines for tracklaying and adjustable bridges which they dropped in as they went along. IL was all done by q gang under Cap tain C. J. Jones, of Paterson. N. J., who in Alaskan and Latin-American jobs was niCknamed "IIurry up Jones'" The men worked seventeen hours daily with the enemy right ahead and the British artillery right behind awaiting construction. There were also battles and skirmishcs in many small sidings where on several occasions the constructors and also the trains crews were under fire.
 On May 29 while building a bridge under Shrapnol fire the Yanks were surrounded by bolsheViki skipping thru the woods and dynamitng the bridge three yersts in the rear on the way back to repair the bridge the Tanks were again attacked at close range but managed to escape
 The shop detachment, under Cap tain C. F. McMIlan, of South Ameri- ca and Panama, formerly from Oma- ha, had to transform junk pile equip ment into workable rolling stock.
 Then the Tanks. under Captain H.. l C. OdelI former assistant and super intendent at santa Fe, built and 1 operated an eight mile street rail way in Murman Under Lieutenant Chas E. Futile, they operated and manned an armored train.

EDIT

From current comment by various publ1- cations i'll the states, 1t seems that most Of the progressive republican papers are heartily in favor of the ratification of the peace treaty including the league of nations without rescr- yation or amendment One of the strongest supporters of the old progressive republican party and of the progressive element III the republican party, when the former reunited with the latter is the Chicago Evening Post.
 The editor of that paper several weeks ago declared that the real issue of today be- tween liberalism and toryism in the league ot nations and its scores "SO-CaIIcd progressive republicans in the senate for being on this issue "as rcactonary as Lodge, Knox, Wads- worth Curtis or any of the old stand-pat group" Mr. Johnson" it says. like Me Cormick or Mr. Borah has jumped off on the wrong foot He cannot hug to himself the label of progressive while he is taking the reactionary side of the biggest issue of the day."
 Dr. Frank R. Crane another leading pro- gressive. denounces as crime the efforts to defeat the league of nations. He says:
 "CarefuI readers of the newspapers must know that amid all that has been said against the league, no one has ever suggested any other way except the league of nations by which future wars can be prevented.
 And yet there is a lively and determined movement on the part of certain men in the United States senate to defeat the league! In nothing is the utter hideousness of parti- san politics more apparent so much as this spectacle of men who, to gain partisan ad vantage, are willing to bring the human race to ruin.
 Bad as this war is, all scientific think CTS are agreed that 1t was mild compared to what the next war will be unless by some league of nations it can be obViated.
 Hooking at all this, 1 would deliberately say that would take my stand with Judas Iscariot, with Abdul the Damned, with mem bers of that vile court that sentenced Joan of Arc to flames, with John Wilkes Booth, or Charles ]. Giteau, that line up with purpose so diabolical, so far-reaChing in it's misChleV- ous effects as that of defeating the league of nations. For 1t means to put out the only light that glimmers in the darkness of the world, to wreck the only lifeboat laboring to the rescue of humanity"
