Establishment of Airplane Landing
Fields.

New York, Feb. 9Plans for the es-
tablishment of a chain of airplane
landing fields have been worked out
by officers of the Army Air Service
and the Manufacturers Aircraft As
sociation, it was announced here to-
day. Army fliers have covered
more than 100000 miles in aerial
survey of the country and made ex-
haustive reports on the facilitii'
offered to cross country flyers.
Representatives of so large South
ern cities already have been invited
to establish landing fields under
army direction Many others will re
ceive like invitations during the
next few months. These must be
laid out according to specifications
given by the army and in return the
government gives steel hangers TO
their municipalities. Operation OF
the "air harbor" is assumed by the
municipality. Since the armlstlce
the number of army fields have been
reduced from SO tc 16 and the naval
air stations from II to 3.
The landing field, says the Air
craft Association, sis to the airplane
what the harbor is to the ocean lin
er and railroad terminal is to the
train. 1t is not merely a flat piece
of land on which a flyer can bring
| his craft to earth. Such a piece oi
| ground bears the same relation to
| a real landing field as an unimproved
water intent bears to a harbor like
| New York on Liverpool.

Steamers Loaded With Immigrants

Buenos Aires, Jan. 1O.-Every
steamer arriving from Latin ports
of Europe and from Holland is load
ed with immigrants coming here to
settle. Most of those on the Dutch
ships are Germans. They are at
tracted by the facts that Argentina
is prosperous, unscathed by war and
belief that it gives promise to rapid
development.
A great increase in the foreign
population of the Argentine is eX-
pected owing to this immigration.
Already nearly one-half of the pop
ulation of Buenos Aires is foreign
born and a majority of these have
failed to become citizens, although
only two years residence is required.
Many have dong been residents of
Argentina and are large property
owners.
The influx of new immigrants has
prompted a proposal by DR.. Juan
Carlos Garay, professor of Law in
the University of Buenos Aires, to
propose enactment of a law making
naturalization obligatory without re-
nunciation of citizenship in the coun-
| try of birth Professor Garay hopes
in that way to solve the problem pre-
sented by failure of so many for
/ eign born persons to become citi-
zens and take part in the affairs and
politics of the country. He admits
that this a revolutionary doctrine
but contends that for Argentina its
advantages would outweigh the dis
advantages.

RAILWAY HPLI zOYEES
DIRECTED TO STRIKE
$4,000 Maintenance of Wav
Men Will Strike Tuesday
Morning
AGREEMENT is VIOLATED

Detroit Mich. Feb. 9.-Orders di-
recting 100000 members of the
United Brotherhood of Maintenance
OF way Employees and Railway Shop
LaborerS to suspend work at a. m.
Tuesday, February IT, were going
out tonight to the various locals of
the organization. Decision to order
the men out was announced by AL
len E. Baker, grand president of the
organization, following a meeting
today of the general chairmen of
the brotherhood. The strike can be
averted only if the Federal Railroad
Administration before Saturday will
grant wage increases demanded last
summer Mr.. Baker said tonight.
THE orders have gone out" he
declared, "and we would require
two or three days to cancel them
The strike in addition to wage in
creases requested last summer is to
secure a uniform rate from coast to
coast. 1t would affect some store
house employees stationery firemen
stationery engineers, steel bridge
workers, cinder pit men and oilers
as we'll as other members of the
brotherhood.
In explaining the decision to call
strike, n. Baker said tonight:
THE public should know that this
strike call is not something that has
been decided upon precipitately but
dates back to last July. Wage de-
mands were presented to the Rail
road Administration at that time
and brotherhood members authoriz-
ed a strike to enforce them. We held
strike. Mr.. Baker said tonight:
President Wilson's request that he
be permitted an opportunity to bring
about reduction in living costs. He
asked for reasonable time, which
he fixed at sixty or ninety days. We
have waited six months and there
has been no reduction in the cost
of living.
The wage demands of the men
average 40 per cent. Mr.. Baker said
| adding there are more than 1O0,-
! 900 of our members who receive less
| than three dollars day. More thar
| 100000 mechanics, consisting of
carpenters, masons and painters, are
| receiving an average of 55 cents al
hour, which is about one-half the
wage received by the same class o
labor in the building trades.

The Needs of American Export
Trade.

During the year 1919 American
exporters have faced severe Difficult
ties in conducting them foreign trad
sue has import restrictions, depre
citation in exchange, and changes in
Industrial conditions abroad In
spite of these difficulties, however
the figures show that 1919 was one
of unusual prosperity as measured
by the volume of export trade. There
are some fears in various quarters
that the tide may turn and that the
favorable position secured by this
country in foreign trade will re-
ceive a serious check. There is no
serious ground for this fear provid-
ing a vigorous constructive policy
is followed looking to the mainten-
ance and development of our ship

INVESTMENT MADE IN PURE BLOOD STOCK LAST YEAR ARE NOW PAYING THEIR DIVIDENDS.

Nothing puts a firm foundation
 under a community that will compare with the prosperity which grows from an invest ment in pure blooded live stock. A few years ago the breeders of Arkansas began holding annual
 shows in Little Rock. They ere ated a spirit of rivalry between planters and farmers of the state, and a desire on the part
 of all to own a COW or a pig that boasted a pedigree. The auc- ton of stock at these shows spread breeding stock over most of the state, and wherever a foothold was secured, the prosperity of the community was assured. These herds have increased until the whole com munity shows the results. The old grade cattle began to disap- pear and in their place came a new, a heavier stock that brings fancy prices from the packers. The owner of the stock was in- stilled with pride and he began
 to build barns to protect the an imals, and this spread to the
 house which protects the fam 1 fly. Hence we build farms

DYANCE SAVED
 ON HETEROGENEOUS

During the hot months of 1919 the salesmen of the Brandon & Turner Go, went out with their refrigerator line for 1920 and urged the trade to buy for spring delivery They argued scarcity of material and certain ad- vances in merchandise. Although this was the time of the year the average dealer spent more time buying stoves than refrigerators for another year, 2,200 refrigerators were sold for Feb ruary and March delivery. Now comes an advance of 20 per cent, effective January 1, and all who lis tened to the pleadings of the Bran don & Turner salesmen have saved this much on their purchases.
 ''The beauty of the business is," says w. N. Brandon, that the dealers will get every Alaska refrigerator they bought. Refrigerators have been sold in the winter time in the past, and had we waited for this, the dealers would not only have lost the 20 per cent, but they would have had trouble in getting their merchandise. These refrigerators have been manu- factured and will soon be leaving the factories"

WAGON DEMANDS
 NEVER BETTER
SALES MANAGER OF sToueHToN WAGON COMPANY SAYS BEST IN 65 YEARS IN SPITE OF
 MOTOR TRUCKS.

The demand for wagons is greater today than it has been in the 65 years the Stoughon Wagon Company has been in business" says J. B. Veitch, sales manager of the Wisconsin concern, who is in Little Rock on visit to the Turner-Shannon Com pany, state distributors for the Stoughton products. Tt will be still greater this year, and all this in spite of the fact that the motor truck is be- ing so rapidly developed.7
 The Stoughon company has truck on the market which MT. Veitch says is much in demand, and which, also, is handled by the Turner-Shannon Company.
 The Stoughton Wagon Company uses large quantities of Arkansas hardwoods in the manufacture of it's wagons, but now finds itself unable to secure su.-cient supply to keep up with the demand, and Mr. Veiteh came to Arkansas for the purpose of securing lumber. Not finding it, he has decided to make the purchase of a large tract of timber, and the com pany will erect a mill or two in Ar kaknsas to insure sufficient lumber for the growing wagon and truck bus mess.

 he may see the good features of
