IETER CHURCH WORLD
 MOVEMENT WILL MEET
Little River County Will Be in Dis trict With Miller and Other
 Nearby Counties.

Little Rock, March 23.-(SpeciaD- The miracle of 1920 will not be in the field of industry. science. education, but it will be in the practical reli- zion of the world. For the first time in history professionalism is presenting q solid, united front, through the med ium of the Inter-Church World Movement, in which 70 per cent of the protestant membership of the Un- tied States is affiliated. through the governing bodies of thirty distinct de- nominations.
 The stupendous financial and spiri- tual program of this movement, which is for the cooperation and not organ ic union, will be brought direct to the people of Miller county, in the county conferences to be held throughout the state during the two weeks from April 6 to 16. The counties have been form ed into 35 groups, and the confer ence for this county will be held in TeXarkana, April at IO a. Ill at the First Christion church.
 The teams of speakers are being chosen from among the prominent ministers and other outstanding lead CTS in Arkansas. Each team will have an itinerary embracing in most cases seven Or eight conferences.
 The personnel of these teams was chosen at the recent Pastors Confer ence in Little Rock. and special training conference for them was held
 in Little Rock Tuesday, March B.
 The county meetings will be attend ed by ministers and lay representa- tives from all the churches in the counties embraced. There will be special group meetings in the interest of Sunday schools. women work and young peoples work. The counties in this distirct group are Miller. Lafay- cite. and Little River.

PROGRESS IN ROADS.

Network oi Highways Is Growing Thicker in the County, says big fash line across the top of the first page of the Little River Newsstand then follows a story of a gathering of citizenship around Allene, where a move was inagurated for lot of new road, which is said to not only make :ne Allene country accessible from all down and this section a more direct route north toward Winthrop and the Sevier county system of roads, or those on the west half of that county. We already have proposed road that will put us in direct touch with the eastern part of Seylef and Howard.
 And, remember, please, Little River was the very first county in Western Arkansas to build hard-surfaced road of much magnitude, was held up as horrible example, by the crowd that blocked Polk county's highway
 
 by such course added at least $2oo,000 to the cost of that enterprise. which the taxpayers, including such knock CTS as yet remain, must pay.
 And, if The Star is not mistaken. Little River county had organized fourteen good roads districts under the Alexander road law before the converting of the last legislature. and had seven bills for other roads be- fore that legislature.
 It is not safe and fair, to say that when Polk county has once experlen- ced the result of a fine 365-day-a-year good road, it's people will quickly seek for means to line the county with oth- CTS. as Little River has done-as Sevier our nearest neighbor to the south has done?-Mena Star.

Better do your tax paying early and avoid the big rush. When it does come and few 6ays are only left with three-fourths of the taxes to pay. you will be wondering why the sheriff and his force cant work faster. Maybe you will be one of those who has to cool his heels all day waiting for your time to come, and maybe you will have to come back the next day, You place a great burden cn collector and put yourself to great trouble and loss of time. Maybe you will mail your check in and expect receipt on the next mail. When you don't get it for a month you will be calling the col lector crook when he is working night and day and has mass of mail that will take him a month to work. Some send the money to busy &C., quaintance to pay about 50 cents in taxes on a lot in the Frisco addition and expect him to stand in line all day to attend to it for you. It's the same old story every year. Have heart.

CRIMINAL DOCKET
DURING PAST YEAR
Shows Fewer Arrests, More
Prosperous Times and Much
Police Work

A glance at the records of the
jpolice department will show, ac-
,Cording to indications, al unusual
record in the way OF the number
! of arrests for the city and county
as we'll for the year coming to a
close. The annual report of Chief
Of Police .Devore, which will be
made soon after the first Of the
year, will show that while there
was Crime wave" of short du-
ration throughout this seccion of
the country, there was, d decided
letting up during the past quarter
and a general, decrease i'll the
number Of ARRESTS, especially for
F., this section of the state. Records
in the larger cities will show the
Operations of federal agents to be
responsible for many of the ar
rests. The number Of arrests for
Iintoxication here will show a de
crease.
The year was shown 10 be a
most prosperous one, since more
persons were able to pay fines or
give bonds, there having been a
imuch smaller number incarcerat-
cd in the county jail than hereto
fore. There will be a number OF
| interesting features to the report
showing the administration OF
the oplicc to have been very cffec-
tive and that while there was a
great amount OF work done by the
department there were less Jail
sentences, it is believed, and more
satisfactory results all around.

PLAN TO DISPOSE
OF INFERIOR weed

Officials of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Association are working on
a plan whereby they hope to solve the
problem of disposing of +he grades OF
tobacco not the best and which the
producers present.
Under the plan low grades and to-
bacco for which prices not satisfac-
tory to the grower are offered are I
be turned over to the company by the
glwers, who will receive 4 receipt
stating the number of pounds of each
grade given to the company's charge.
The tobacco is to be turned over to
redrying plants in the hurley belt, re-
dIyed and stored, warehouse receipts
for the leaf being turned over TO the
company.
These receipts will be negotiable in
all banks that are members of the
Federal reserve system and enough
money to pay storage charges on the
tobacco held by the redryers will be
borrowed from the banks OH the re
ceipts. It is proposed to hold the to-
bacco in storage until disposed OF at
a reasonable figure directly to Euro
pean countries for short time govern
ment bonds.

AUTO C0lIDES
WITH SIGNAL POST

Early Thursday morning while
taking students to trains, one Of the
big motor buSses from the Eastern
Normal, crashed into the danger sig
nal post at Second and Main streets
with the result that the globe on the
post was shattered and the machine
considerably damaged. The driver
stated that his attention was attract
cd for the moment and he did not
realize he was so close to the post,
hence the accident. There were no
students in the vehicle at tire time of
the collision. The globe will be re-
placed by a new one. 1t develops
that there was q mysterious collision
at Third and Main streets, since the
globe on that post is also broken, and
one edge of the post shows the result
of some vehicle having come in vio-
lent contact with it. There have been
no traffic violations to speak Of, ac-
corcling to the police and the accident
Thursday morning was the first of
kind thus far reported.
