ARMISTICE DAY
 OBSERVED HERE
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES HELD IN CITY PARK--SPLENDID ADDRESSES BY DR. C. H. WILL HANSON AND OTHERS.

Armistice Day was fittingly ob- served in Marianna yesterday, be- ginning with the celebration in the city park at 2.30 under the auspices of the Lee County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The business houses declared a half holiday and goodly number of Marianna citi- zens went to the park and partici- pated in the ceremonies. w. 5. McClintocix acted as master of cere- monies and after a few explana- tory remarks introduced the princi- pal speaker of the day, Dr. C. n. Williamson, of Memphis, who deliv- cred splendid address on Amer icanization." Dr. Williamson dwelt at length on the necessity of CO., operation in social and national life, and reviewed the remarkable re suits that could be obtained by unit ed action.
 Mrs. J. I. Morris, secretary of the Lee County Chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross, reviewed the work of that organization during and since the war, and made plea Tor the renewal of annual memberships that the Red Cross might be enabl- ed to carry out the program con templated during the coming year.
 Col. J. E. Wood, speaking on the subject, "The Roll Call," paid elo- quent tribute to the Lee county boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War, and as each of the names of the boys who died while in service was called Red Cross worker in uniform laid a wreath of flowers on the table pro- vided for the purpose.
 Major Elgan C.. Robertson spoke of the tremendous influence on the world of the morale of the American army, and declared that the graves of those soldiers who died in service in France would be preventive of future wars, and exhorted the rela- tives of soldiers buried in France or other allied countries to leave the bodies there and not bring them home for re-interment.
 Especially pleasing was. the guar tette selection rendered by Messrs Nixon, Kitchener, Clifford and Mix on.
 All in all the entire service was deeply impressive and was fitting tribute to the boys who sacrificed their lives as a guarantee to all the people of the world of their right to liberty and the pursuit of happl' ness, and the right to work out fol themselves their national destinies

Harding Has Tusste
 With 6-FOOt TdrpOn

Point Isabel, Texas.-President- elect Harding went tarpon fishing today and although his prize catch got away after forty-five minutes tussle, he liked the sport so well that he stayed out from morning until nightfall.
 It was the breaking of a troll line tangled in the wreckage of an old warf that lost him his fight with the biggest fish he ever had hooked, tarpon described by his compan- ions as measuring more than SIX feet. The president-elect's boat had pulled in close to shore and the sea giant was showing signs of giv- ing up when the line caught fast and snapped in two. He had sew eral other bites but came home empty handed, favored on the first day of his vacation with clear, hot weather.
 Mr. Haring set forth on the ex- petition shortly after six o'clock this morning. At the Point Isabel life saving station, three miles out, he transferred from his motor launch to a skift and went to work. The fight with the big tarpon took place soon afterward and when it was over he decided to make a day of it and sent the launch back to port to bring out his luncheon Previously the president-elect had planned to play a game of golf dur ing the afternoon at the Browns. vile Country Club.
 MT. Harding's companions on the fishing trip today were F. K. Sco- bey and R. B. Creager, his hosts here, and Senators Hale of Maine and Elkins of West Virginia. Harry M Daugherty, a close personal ad wiser of the president-elect. also joined the party during the after noon.

Corn Crop Greatly
 Damaged By Worm

The army worm has greatly dam aged the corn crop of Arkansas in six counties, according to the week ly letter to the Bureau of Crop Es- inmates, Washington, D. C., by C. s. Routon. statistician for Arkansas. Were it not for this fact, according to MT. Bouton's letter, the corn crop of this year would exceed the crop of 1917 in total production.
 Approximately 95 per cent of the cotton crop is beyond injury from frost, according to the letter, and picking is progressing rapidly.
 The letter as sent by MT. Bouton, follows:
 Corn: Were it not for the fact that the army worm had ravaged corn severely in Phillips, Desha. Chicot, Ashley, Lincoln and Jeffer- son counties, the corn crop Of the state would have exceeded the crop of 1917 in total production, though the acreage is somewhat less. In six counties of northwest Arkansas the reports are that the corn IS the best in years. The yield is good through all of Northern and North east Arkansas, though the quality m Stone and Lawrence counties was lowered by wet weather. In south ern and southwest Arkansas stands are only average, but season was exceptionally favorable and the yield and quality both above average.
 The first shock from the down ward trend in prices seems to be over and people are adjusting them selves to conditions, and picking IS again going ahead rapidly.
 Ninety-five per cent of the cot ton of the state beyond frost in jury. There was some injury to open bolls by heavy rains in the last days of October.
 Marketing of crop is slow in many portions, and much of the ginned cotton is standing in open fields exposed to the weather.
 Sweet Potatoes-Harvesting is in progress. We have had number of yields of over 250 bushels re- ported, but thus far nothing ex- ceeding 300 bushels per acre. Nan cy Hall and Porto Rico are the va rieties almost universally grown.
 Hay-No new report
 Apples Picking nearly finished Much of the crop in cold storage Bulk movement has been heavy and carlot sales of same fairly free. In general they have sold at S2 to $2.25 per bushel from the cars. The crop in non-commercial districts has been poor, averaging less than 50 per cent. In Washington county the crop was three-fourths of a full crop and in Benton county about 50 per cent, with an average for the state of not quite two-thirds of a full crop.
 Livestock-No new report.
 Farm Labor-No new report.
 Truck Crops-Farmers in the Blevins district of Hampstead coun- ty realized better than $150 per acre from tomatoes this year. It was their first year and the crop was shipped either as green or pink tomatoes.
 Miscellaneous Farm Notes-In Ashley county some ribbon cane is yielding 400 gallons of syrup per acre. Some in Desha county is ex- pected to yield at the same or high CT rate.

ArkanSans Profit
 By Pdrty's Defeat

Washington, Nov. 10.-The over whelming defeat of the democrats will have the effect of pushing the Arkansas delegation in congress to positions higher in party councils and congressional committees than the state has known for many years.
 In the senate Senator Robinson already is ranking democratic mem Der of the Committee on Claims. The result of the election did not move him up from fourth position on the Interstate Commerce Com mittee, but it is believed that, in view of his activity during the cam paign and the fact that he was per manent chairman of the San Fran cisco convention, he will be given recognition in more important com- mittee assignments when the next senate is organized.
 As was stated in previous dis patches Representative Otis T. Win go will be ranking minority member of the Banking and Currency Com mittee. Should the democrats suc- ceed in reversing the election in 1922 and organize the next con- gross, Wingo automatically will be- come chairman of that committee.
 The decision of Claude Kitchin to accept the floor leader of the dem- ocrats, announced today, eliminates the possibility of Wingo CT any oth- CT member being considered for this post.
 In the house Representative Old field will jump from seventh to third place on the important Ways and Means Committee. This means that he will be one of the conferees whenever revenue legislation is sent to conference by the house and senate.
 Representative H. M. Jacoway will be next to the ranking minority member on the Agricultural Com mittee, a committee which probably means more to Arkansas than any other house committee.
 Representative Samuel M. lay Tor is another Arkansan to become ranking minority member on com mittee, and would become chairman in democratic congress. This IS the committee on Rivers and liar bors, where four members out ranking him in the last congress failed to come back.
 Representative John N. Tillmar was not so fortunate. He ranks fourth on the committee on Indian Affairs. All three outranldng mem bers were returned to congress and he retains that position. On the committee on Public Lands of which he is also member, he moved uI from fifth to third place, through the retirement of Scott Ferris ot Oklahoma and the defeat of James Mays of Utah.
 The other two members from Arkansas. w. J. Driver and Tillman B. Parks, will enter congress at ar suspicious time and will receive committee assignments of import ance that would not fall to theii lot in a-congress more evenly divid- ed.
 The same can be said for Senator Caraway who succeeded Senator Kirby in the senate. Known to be an active worker and strong par tisan, Mir. Caraway undoubtedly VII be given assignment where his abil- l ity will be most felt.

SOIOns To Make,
 Tour Of Schools

Fort Smith, Nov. 8.-A special train carrying 150 members of the next Arkansas state legislature will leave Little Rock November Is for A tour of the agricural schools of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, it was learned here today. President-elect J. k. Alex. ander of Scott, Pulaski county, will pay all expenses of the trip, 1t was said. Improvement in the states agricultural school is the object of the trip.
 Plans for the tour of the mem bers of the legislature to visit some of the country's leading agricultur- al colleges have been underway here for some time, but announcement has been withheld until arrange ments were in more definite shape The premature announcement rom Ft. Smith, however, reveals one of the most ambitious plans for agri- cultural improvement ever under taken in Arkansas. It is hoped that the tour will awaken the members of the legislature, as nothing else could do, to the need of a real az ricultural college for Arkansas.
 Representative Alexander has tax, en an active part in every movement for the improvement of agriculture in Arkansas, but his offer to pay the expenses of the tour is the larg- est single contribution to this cause made by one man in the history ot the state. MT. Alexander is one of Arkansas largest planters and he enjoys the reputation of being one of the most progressive agricultur ists in the state.

ON FORMATION
 OF LEE COUNTY
EXTRACTS FROM ARKANSAS GAZETTE. MARCH 2s. 1873, GIVING COMMUNICATION OF JUDGE HUTTON ON FIGHT.

The 10uFiSfslN1tA v hHufHtNN V" Mrs. F.. D. Wall. historian of the L'Anguille Chapter. D. A. R., for the following valuable and inter- esting article.
 Lee county was formed from ter ritory taken from the counties of Phillips, St. Francis, Crittenden and Monroe. 1t was a long. hard lourn- ey for the citizens of this section to attend court in Helena or Madison, hence the call for this new county. Phillips and St. Francis were to lose the greatest amount of territory and therefore fought the project with tongue and pen.
 The bill for the creation of Cool idge county, the first name propos- ed, was introduced in the legislature in January 1873, but IL was showed from committee to committee tiil the latter part of March, when the fight began in earnest.
 The Arkansas Gazette prints a letter from Judge Hutton which gives a good idea of the feeling about the matter.
