lock it. It was pried open by MT. Hebard the proprietor of the house, who upon entering the room found that Rev. Tomme had lapsed into un- consciousness, from which he never rallied.
 Rev. Tomme was born at La and removed with his parents to Tex as, where he grew to manhood. He was married to Miss Mathis at Dal- las, Texas, in 1888. He was or dained and began preaching at Iowa Park, Texas, in 1891 and preached for several years in West Texas. He went from there to Enid, Oklahoma, and after spending several years there removed to Illinois, where he remained only a short time, coming to Arkansas and locating at Little Rock, where he entered missionary work, which he followed until he was appointed Chaplain of the Arkansas penitentiary by Governor Geo. w. Hays, which position he later re- signed to enter a lecture campaign against the ill treatment of the con- victs of that institution. He did some excellent work along this line and gained the friendship of people throughout the state for the benevo- lent interest taken in the treatment of the unfortunates.
 Rev. Tomme came to Carlisle more than four years ago and took the pastorate of the Baptist church, which he has since worked faithfully to upbuild and in which his efforts have been successful Rev. Tomme was generous and whole hearted and made friends wherever he went. He was ever ready to assist anyone in distress and did his part for the bet terment of the community.
 Deceased leaves wife and two adopted children, Minnie aged 15 and Joe Dean, aged 13 to mourn his loss. He also leaves a large number of sorrowing friends who extend their most heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
 Rev. Tomme preached his last ser mon at Heber Springs the Sunday before he was stricken.
 Funeral services will take place from the Baptist church at ten o'clock Friday morning after which the remains will be laid to rest in Carlisle cemetery. Rev. Walls of Lonoke will conduct the service, as sisted by Revs. Pearson of Lonoke and Bogard of this place. May he rest in peace.

SOUTHER FIELD
WILL PAINT UP
Orders Received for Sur
facing Married Off
GERS to Get Quarters

Orders have just been received by
Major Churchill, commanding officer
at Souther Field, to proceed with the
painting of all structures on the
reservation at once, and with the
construction of eight quarters for
married officers. The work will be
started within short time.
This order is for the first actual
activity in the way of the perman-
ence of Souther Field since the an
nouncement was made several months
ago of the purchase of he ground
by the government.
All of the barracks, hangers and
other structures at the field will be
painted sage green, with ivory trim
ming, a combination which the gov
ernment has found gives both service
and good appearance. 1t is the COM
bination which was used on the avia-
ton depot upon it's construction some
time after Souther Field proper.
The eight married officers quar-
ters will be obtained by remodeling
one of the enlisted mems barracks.
This will require complete change
of interior. Each suite will contain
6 rooms and bath, and will afford
comfortable and commodious quarters
for the married officers and their
families. Improvised quarters are now
being used by these officers
The painting of he buildings at
Souther Field will make wonderful
change in it's whole appearance. Not
having been repainted since heir
construction, when they were given
a finish for temporary purposes only,
they have presented rather dismal
appearance for some time. The Of
ficers and men alike are much in-
terested in the order, regarding it as
proof positive that Souther Field is
to be improved and lept in good con-
~ ION permanentlY.

CHARACTERIZATION
PLAN CONDEMNED,
BY KIWANIANS
Club Endorses School
Fund Scheme With
Notifications

Following the endorsement yester-
day by the Rotary Club, after con-
siderable discussion, of the proposal
to levy a $40 commutation tax on
every man in Americus between the
ages of 1S and 90 years to provide
the emergency fund needed this year
by the clCy schools, the Kiwanis Club
at Its luncheon today accepted the
plan with certain amendments and
voted to refer the matter back to the
JOINT commNSSe representing tht
various civic bodies tor further con-
sideratlon. The Kiwanians voted to
reduce the specified amount of the
tax to maximum of $3.50 and in
clude recommendation that the city
charter be so changed by the legis-
lature as to eliminate arbitration of
tax assessments and make the mayor
and city council the court of appeal
for objectors, their ruling to be final.
Attorney Hollis Fort, a member of
the Kiwanis Club, who has been on
other committees investigating the
school needs and means of raising the
$4,000 additional required this year,
although opposing the commutation
tax in principle, advocated it as the
only solution of the problem at this
time. He declared that under the
present law it was impossible to raise
valuations of property, as arbitration
provides the method of defeating any
increases levied. Fe advocated
amending the city charter SO as to
eliminate arbitration altogether, pro-
viding only for appeal by objectors
to the mayor and city county. His
recommendation was adopted.

College Education Not
Luxury, but Necessity
He Tells Graduates

Speaking to the graduating class of
Americus High School, from which
he had received a diploma Just twen-
ty-two years before, Rev. Allen Fort,
D. D., of Nashville, Tenn, last night
paid eloquent tribute to the work of
the institution which Americas has
builded for the education of the
youth of the community. His address
lasted just As minutes, and was filled
with humor and pathos, as well as
brimming with wholesome and profit
able advice to the graduates.
DR.. Fort illustrated his talk with
numerous stories, one of these being
especially designed to show the ad-
vantage of the trained mind over that
of the uneducated person. He i'm
pressed upon his hearers the neces-
sity of choosing high standards in
every phase of life and declared he
spoke to them not of the past but
of the imperative "now," and of the
glory of tomorrow. "Go to college
and learn there" he told the gradu-
ates. ga college education is not a
luxury. 1t is almost a necessity. And
the day is coming, if, indeed, it is not
already at hand, when it is a neces-
sity."
Closing his address, DR.. Fort said
his last word to the graduates was
that they should link their lives prop
erly with God. "Link up with Cod"
he said. "You can be strong and do
exploits. The way is clear; the
clarion call is sounded, and you are
needed in the great cause. Do not
be a Stacker, but be hero in the
strife"
The exercises began promptly at
$3.50 o'clock on a signal, the gradu-
ates marching into the auditorium
from the front of the building, pro-
ceeding along the south aisle, with J.
W. Smith leading. Behind him were
all of the boys of the senior class,
except Hertwell Barton, class presi-
dent, who marched in the center of
the line of young ladies, and John
Butt, Jr., class orator, who brought
up the rear of the procession.
After the invocation by Rev. Silas
Johnson, the orchestra, composed of
Prof. Donald Drukenmiller, Rev. Guy
ton Fisher, Mrs. J. E. Johnson, Mrs.
Luella Knox, Egbert Clark, J. W.
Mosteller, Jr., George Barber and C.
A. Ames, rendered an overture.
"Carmena" was sung by Miss Debo-
rah Creighton, Miss Louise Dudley,
Miss Lucy Lane, Miss Nell Hogg,

Industry continueAto be hampered
by inefficient transportation" says
Commerce Monthly. This is not a
condition which can be materially
aided by redistribution of cars but can
be remedied only by the purchase of
a large amount of new equipment and
the heavy repairing of old. Altho a
numbeF of railroads are now in the
market for rails, cars and locomotives.
the buying movement has not yet
reached large proportions. Exten-
sive purchases on. the part of the roads
must wait the making of adequate
financial plans. Some needs, how
ever. such as the requirements of the
repair shops, are so urgent that buy
ing of this kind cannot long be post
poned."
