FLASK ION THE HIP"

HAITIMoRE, Teb 20 a small bot

mother-in-law, HIS employer and Mag
istrato Bernard II. Cough, sitting in
southwestern police court all figured
in case yesterday which gave the
thirsty a feeting hope that the bar
had been lifted from the carrying OF
strong stuff in hip pockets.
The vets hopes were shattered,
however, by the brief comment OF
Prohibition Enforcement Director
Stone, who said:
"No feature OF the case can be CON
strued as giving any one permission
to carry liquor about the streets In
their pockets"
The opposite impression gained ctr
culation when Justice Cough, stating
that he was acting on advice OF Fed

ward Arnold. after he had been ar

with a half-pint bottle of liquor In

n. Y. DEMOCRATS INSERT
WET PLANK IN PLATFORM
Prohibition in Present Form Dis
tasteful to Rank and File,
Leaders Declare.

ALBANY. N. Y Feb. 2...-The
Democratic platform builders OF the
unofficial State convention, after an
all-night session here, reached an
agreement to insert a plank announc-
ing the party's opposition to prohi-
bition in its present form. The plat
form will be submitted for the action
of the convention this afternoon.
The builders of the platform agreed
to this plank in the face OF gem
eral sentiment among the delegates
that prohibition in its present form is
distasteful to New York democracy.
The New York platform will also
contain a plank favoring "a league
of nations. without specifically en-
dorsing "the" league of nations spon-
sorcd by the National Administra-
ton.

when the suits which Mrs. Gertrude
Turcott has brought against Peter
Turcott for divorce and against the
wealthy Mrs. Cornelia J. Nelson. OF

faithful and Woodworking wife will be

In the woods for the Great Northern
Paper Company. Apparently his home
life was happy.
After he began guiding for the Mel

from the Turcott home. The Nelson's

guides, and Turcott was the guide as

In recent years. IL is said. Nelson
spent compa ratively little time at his
camp. although his wife, a handsome
brunette, spent the entire summer
and fall there.

Some years ago Turcott went to

LINDSAY STORE MOVING
 INTO NEW BUILDING
Handsome Main Street Building Com. pleted and Lindsay Forces Busy
 Transferring Goods.

The new Lindsay store on the north side of Main street has been completed, and Monday night the force with the aid of some of the Foreman force of the Lindsay stores began moving the stock into the new home. They do not expect to be completely moved until today Goods were being placed in their proper places as they were nov
 ed in and Tuesday moe'ning the ladies department was ready for busi- ness with a large assortment of the stock of that department. The store room in the Sanderson building. which is being vacated, will be occupied by the Model Drug Store after it has been remodeled on the extensive scale. R. P. Lindsay, the owner of the Lindsay store at this place, has reason to be proud of his new business home. It will be the most modernly equipped dry goods store building in this sec tion of the county, and has been built according to ideas developed by MT. Lindsay and his local manager, Homer Welch, during many year of progress sive merchandising. Everything that would make for the convenience and comfort of the public and employees floor space is large and the lighting is good. It will be cool in summer and in winter a modern heating sys- tenn in the basement will make it warm and comfortable. The decorations, the furniture and shelving have all been achieved with an idea of beauty and convenience. The store will be divided into departments, the women S department being separate from that of the men, The large front show windows are beautifully finished and lighted, and when the efficient window
 artistic display of merchandise no doubt they will be very attractive.
 Lindsay's store was opened at Ash down number of years ago and dur ing that time has been actively man. aged by MT. Welch. The growth of the business has been rapid and substan- tial. The Lindsay stores now number five and their success is due to the policy of modern and clean merchan- dising methods.

He stated that all would be required to dip in April and if any vat proved to be free of ticks at the first dipping they would dip again in May, and if they were still free of ticks there would likely be one more test in June after which, if there were no ticks, these vats would not be rnp11tro6 n din Who're ticks found dipping would be required every IA days until the end of season, He said that if the appropriation was not made a quarantine would be placed on the county as soon as Washington got around to it.

MASS MEETING HELD TO
 ASK FOR LATERAL OF 6
Every Man in Hicks Community are Working for a Road improvement
 District; Cost Small Natter.
Oak Mill Community Will
 Also Petition for a Road

A News representative had the pleasure Monday night of attending one of the most enthusiastic good roads meetings we have ever attended, and perhaps the the enthusiasm was great or at this meeting than any ever held in Little River county. The meeting was held by the citizens Of the Hicks com munty, three miles east of Ashdown. When We arrived there we found a large number of the gentlemen of that community present at the school build ing where the meeting was to be held. The body of men were soon called to order and the purpose of the meet ing was made known and discussed freely by all present. The purpose of the gathering were about as follows: ::
 The progressive people of the Hicks community wanted road, good road, one that will equal any in the county, they were tired of travelling to town and to church and community gather ing through the mud. and that they were going after road and not say a word about the cost. The Hicks com- munity has roads on both sides Of them and there is not sufficient acreage to grant a new district, and they want to become a part of Road Improvement district No. 6 and ask the commits sioners to annex their property ana construct them road from the Geo. Johnston farm two miles east Of Wilton to Ashdown following the ola -Ash- down to Wilton route and intersectlng the Peytonville road at the Mrs. J. T. Bowling place in Ashdown. Road DIS trict No. is the AshdoWn to Wilton road and takes in the Hicks and Oak Hill communities, and they are not satisfied to help pay small portion of the tax and get no road. One man stated that he had rather pay Sl.00 an acre tax and have a road than to pay 5 cents an acre and not have a road, which we think was the voice of the entire body. The Wilton and Ashdown route will run from Ashdown to Mills Ferry by the way of Wilton, and Will have one lateral according to the pre- sent plan. This lateral runs east from Wilton two miles to the Geo. Johnston farm. The Hicks people want the road extended from that place on to Ash down, which would be only justice to them. They are willing to bear the expense and no doubt this request will be granted by the efficient commits sioners.
 At the close of the meeting pet ition was quickly drawn up, asking the board to grant this lateral and every land holder present, and there was goodly number of the most prominent ones present. gathered around and gladly attached his name
