HLYTHEvHI1D. ARK, September 3.
IA army Of sauattsf2 said to num-
Der over 100. are snMmped upon the
banks Of Pamiscot bayou. in Missis-
sippi county, Arkansas. from Little
river to the Missouri state line.
Within the AREA appropriated by the
settlers are 2.eeo acres Of the most
fertile land In the Arkansas delta,
much Of which IL in q high state Of
cultivation.
Tho now arrivals lay claim to the
land on the theory that when the gov
ernment many years ago surveyed the
lands in this locality its agents did
not include those lands when mum
dated by the waters Of Pemiscot
bayou. Hence, when under the
sunken land" grant the surveyed
lands were conveyed to the state of
Arkansas they assert, title did not
pass to the disputed area. It is
claimed that this area, though COW
cred with water at that time, since
has become firm soil owing to the
recession Of the water to the present
narrow channel Of the bayou. Large
land owners are said to be aroused
by the movement which threatens
loss Of valuable acres Of their plan
tatfons. Many Of the tents are pitched
on land adjoining the corporate lin
its Of 1lytheville, and the city pre-
eenfs the appearance Of being be-
leagured. Legal action is forecast 1t
IL said the settlers acted under a pre-
arranged plan by formation Of q set

farmers during the period OF war who
furnished the sinew and strength Of
the nation the successful termination
OF the war might have been delayed.
That the farmer wants ito live and let
live" was the keynote Of the talk. but
he emphasized the need Of organization
inferring that. I'll the classes OF La
Dor and capital had headquarters at
Washington while the farmer did not
have single to protect himself That
the time would come when the farmer
must determine the costs Of their pro-
ducts and put their business on basis
with other industries. Further that
the farmer should have representatives
at the Seat of Government who know
the problems Of the farming class.
Mr. Bergman referred to the large
number Of politicians who were rep
resenting the states Of Iowa, Illinois
and other agricultural communities
who do not have the least conception
Of the Farming problems. II.
Mr.. H. p. Holden in the discussion
on the permanent road question gave
the present road law and what could

eminent aid, etc.
Mr.. Holden gave. an excellent talk
showing the relative cost Of maintain
ence of hard-surfaced roads, the big
reduction saved on hauling farm pro-
ducts to market and the number Of
miles which could be secured from q
gallon Of gasoline. He introduced
evidence that demonstrated the fact
that hard surfeced roads would pay
for themselves In this annual saving.
Reference was given to the wonder
full network Of permanent roads in
California and other districts all Of
which were met with opposition on the
start. M
Mr.. Holden gave his opinion that
distribution Of the tax system would 4
be more equitable if all taxpayers in
the county were made to pay for im-
as they are made from
time to time. AS argument to back
up this statement he indicated that

that the farm women prepared the hest
part OF the program. At any event they
served q wonderful chicken pie dinner
and all that usually goes with such
dinners on the farm. They prepared the
way for perfect enjoyment OF the pro-
gram because the majority were too
full for utterance thus giving the mem

any event never put on township pro-
gram without interesting the women.
Farmers Of this vicinity have demon

Another Letter From Russia.

ThursLay morning Nathan Boynoff
received letter from his sister in
Russia, which had been mailed Dec
ember Is, 1918. At noon Mrs. Boynoff
received letter from her sister also
from Russia. which had taken just
two years and twelve days to reach its
destination here. having been mailed
from there January 10. 1913. 1t had
been three years since either Mr.. or
Mrs. BoynOff had heard from their
people in Russia and they naturally
have been very anxious about them.
In the letter received by Mrs. Boynoff
yesterday, the sister says that the
reign Of anarchy there is terrible.
Both Mr. and Mrs. BoynOffs people
live in the Arcadian region which is
now practically all Bolshevik. The let
tiers state that prices there are eXor-
bitant; meat sells for SIS per pound,
Kerosene at 81 per gallon and shoes
sell for as much as 5000 per pair.
Persons who cannot afford to have
shoes, wrap their feet in burlap and
anything that can be had that will
keep them warm. They also state that
money is easily earned but that people
are all the time in danger of their
lives and fear to go out to earn their
daily bread, as the dead lie around i'll
the streets almost as thick as flies.
