SIX DIARIES CLOSE.
Shortage Of labor Causes Evacua
tion of Great Falls Farms.

Shortage of labor in Great Falls and
vicinity resulted this week in the
shutting down of six dairies and the
evacuation of that many farms. The
six farmers ceased all their activities,
closed their doors and moved to Wash
ington.
The inability to obtain labor-aiso
has lessened the production of garden
truck and wheat. Farmers in this
vicinity have planted one-third less
wheat and garden produce this year
than the preceding year.
Another problem is to get berries,
which are now ripening, to the Wash
ington markets. There are large crops,
but no labor is obtainable to pick
them.

Rotary Directors
 Take Up Teachers
 Pay Problem Today

The movement to assist Pine Bluff public school teachers to obtain an adequate compensation for their ser vices. which was initiated by the Rotary cluB at the regular meeting Tuesday, will be considered by the trustees of the Rotary club at their meeting this afternoon at , o'clock at the Merchants and Planters bank. 4 special committee of the Rotary club, composed of Judge w T. Wool dridge James Gould and Dr. Junius Jordan, appointed Tuesday will meet with the trustees and members of the school board will also probably be asked to attend the meeting.
 The resolution by the local club to held teachers gain an additional re- compense was the result of a resolu- tion fostered by Judge James Gould at the Rotary conference here last week, which pledged the Rotary dis trict No. h to assist in raising teachers salaries.
 At the last Rotary meeting. it was brought out that some scheme for an immediate relief is needed in or der that the public schools will be able to retain their best teachers. many of whom are unable to remain in their profession because of the meagre pay.

Evening Post. the Ladies Home Journal. and Good Housekeeping. This advertising, costing as it does from $7.50O to $1O,OOO page. is powerless. he stated, unless the To- cal merchant co-operates by adver- tising in his local paper slmultane- ously.
 The well written advertisement, which compels the attention, is sure to get results, Judge KerWln said, and he stated that newspaper read CTS read advertisements, provided they are sufficiently attractive. A unique advertisement system which he mentioned, is the calendar which 0. c. Haubcr, head of the Hauber theatre, publishes every month. He condemned the unprogressive mer- chant who contended that "every- body knew him anyhow, so what's the use to advertise"
 Two sketches of proposed sign boards to be used to advertise Pine Bluff were submitted, and after some discussion, it was decided to recom- mend the use of both of them, one to be erected near the Union sta tion, the other to be placed near the railroad crossing west of the city. The sign board committee, headed by Bob Etter. will make this recommendation to the Retail Mer- chants association.
 One of the signs was designed by r. J. Hartig of the Pine Bluff Sign company, the other by c. A. Rogers. advertising manager of Froug's.

New York Again
 is Hit by Strike of Feny Workers

New York, April 1.-Obeying a strike call involving between 5000 and 15,000 marine workers, crews op- erating railroad ferry boats at 9 o'clock began tying up their craft after the rush of homeward bound commuters had ended. Engine room and deck forces of railroad owned tues and lighters were called out this afternoon
 Officials of the railroad compa- nies affected said they would make no attempt to operate ferries during the night. but an intimation that strikebreakers might be employed was given at the office of the Erie railroad by J. J. Mantell, chairman of the New York sub committee of the managers association. He said the railroads would "do all in their power to operate the boats and serve the public"
 The strike, which involves also freight handlers affiliated with unions included in the marine wor- kers' association and comes at time when several thousand coast wise longshoremen have stopped work. was called today.
 Ferries and tugs operated by the city. and harbor craft owned and controlled bv the shipping board or other branches of the government will not be affected by the strike, union leaders said

 City 19,2S0 People

Population figures for Pine Bluff -19.2SO announced yesterday by the census bureau at Washington were received here with considerable disappointment, and with some doubt as to their accuracy in many quar- .crs. and it is probable that re- oucst for & recount will be made by the Chamber of Commerce. Mana ger E. B. Bloom of that organization said yesterday that the figures were considerably lower than he antlcl= pated. and he intimated that the Chamber of Commerce would take under advisement a request to the government for a recount
 MT. Bloom Wednesday night placed his estimate of the city,s population at 22,o00 people. This estimate was based on figures an- nounced by the compilers of the new city directory last winter. It was

The benefits derived by merchants in cooperation with national adver- tisers by the use of local papers was pointed out to the members of the Ad club at their regular meeting at noon yesterday when c.

THE DAILY ApHc PINE BLUFF ARKANSAS APRIL 1920

pointed out yesterday that the coill- oilers of this directory probaoly ar rived at very close estimate of the citv's population by virtue o1 the fact that their own employees, tram ed in the work of taking census did the work, while the government census was taken by ineXperlenceo neople for the most part.
 Lamar Williamson of Monticello, state director of the census, mad considerable difficulty in securing q sufficient number of census takers, which was responsible for the large number of inexperienced people sent out on this work.
 Another reason for the low popula- tion figures was the defeat of the annexation proposition which was voted out at the last city election. The proposed annexation would have taken about 5000 people living just outside the corporate limits of the city. and considered residents, into the official population figures. Pre- suming that the governments fig ures of 19,000 is correct, the addl-
