RETURNING TO SOUTHLAND.

Trainloads of negroes are passing through Memphis en route to their former homes in Mississippi. Some leave the trains there and come to Arkansas. All have been north, some year and others only few months They were lured to the north by high wages which as one negro ex' pressed it on his arrival in Memphis, was "all spent to sleep and eat"
 "Da called us mstah up dere but when we wus hungry dey was no one to feed us," said this negro. "Us acted regular fool goin' up there and us is glad to get back" he con- tinued, adding that only the Sou therners understood the negroes.
 Planters in the South have been confronted with shortage of labor since many of the negroes went north to get high wages, and the word that they are now coming back is welcome news to every one in the South, white and black. The south erner understands the negro's needs and desires and knows just how to care for him. This is decisively proven by the tide of Mississippi and Arkansas bound negroes return ing to the land where they under stand conditions and where their la bor ad residence is both appreciated and needed.
 The lessons learned by those who went north and who are now return ing, should be imparted to any rest less negro who still believes that he and his family can do better in the north.

have also been assumed and handled with the greatest of credit. Scouts have made themselves a part of our city, national and state life. This is all additional to the great good derived by the boys who participate in the scout work.
 That MT. Atkinson has arrived in Pine Bluff to carry on the move ment in this city should be signal for every public spirited individual to tender him their cooperation, and active and financial assistance in order that in the future the Pine Bluff council can be pointed to with additional pride.
 The boys will repay you.

HE NEEDS HELP

The appointment of Arthur A. At kiHson of Memphis, as Boy Scout executive for the Pine Bluff coun- ell means considerable to the city and lot to the boys. It means an increased activity of the Boy Scouts and the missions performed by this examination of youngsters are not only necessities to a city, but their woSk is recognized as a national re- Qu{Xite for the training of young A4lericans. The Boy Scouts are of vitSk influence to the entire nation. SueA men as Theodore Roosevelt long ago realized possibilities of the or ganization and planned to give their life's energy to helping the move ment.
 Just prior to "Teddy's" death he was making preparations to assume leadership of the boys in the nation, to instill them with Americanism, honesty and industry. The former president had been approached by of fieials of the national Scout coun- ell. who informed him that they would pay him an immense salary ydaxly to lead the scouts. The Colonel tdo& the matter under advisement, teiljng the officials that he would take up the question with his wife. But before his decision was made the sponsor of Americanism was talk en i'll, according to recount of the incidents told by the Literary Digest.
 The incident goes far toward show ing the importance of the Boy Scout movement, it's recognized importance ana of the efforts of officers of the o,,ranization to get men of extra cal ibre to take hold of the boys. These efforts also have been rewarded in mtn,;y situations in which the Scouts have been called ihatO assist, for in stance the Confederate convention in Texas when they. cared for and d. rected the aged fighters of the Con federacy. Many other opportunities for displaying their public usefulness

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, by E. w. Horning, published by Gros- set and Dunlap, New York, N. Y.
 The wooden clipper ship Lady Jermyn left the shores of Australia with a mysterious cargo and with some mysterious passengers--in- cluding lovely Eva Denison and an evil-looking Portuguese. On the voyage home the ship took fire ana all on board were lost. Except (as he thought) one MT. Cole, who was picked up days afterward, almost dead. Imagine his surprise when, some months later, he saw through the lighted window of house on a lonely moor, five of the people whom he thought had perIshed. And among them, evidently against her will, the girl he loved Eva neniscn. This is only the beginning of tale almost uncanny mystery and adven- ture such as only E. W. Hornung can tell.

Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- ton of the U s. Public
 Health Service
ONLY MEASLES

Among the letters received by the Information Editor is one which reads: "Some friends of ours have a child year old with mild attack of measles. Shall we take our child whoshas never had the measles to wis., it the one who is ill, in order that he may take it and have it over with, es- pecially as it sems to be a mild easel"
 NO. From a mild case a severe case may be contracted, and in eX- posing your child to measles you are not only exposing it to that disease. but to others which often accompany or follow it, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
 The number of deaths from meas les reported from 30 states in 1918 wss SS06, and this number does not include those from the other diseases which were brought about as a direct result of the attack of measles.
 As this number represents only 30 states, it is safe to assume that over 10000 deaths occur each year in the United States from "ONLY

DRY ENFORCEMENT
COSTS SO MILLION
Congressman Cites Figures As To
Number of Stills Captured
Every Tree Violates Law
In Flow of Sap, ,.a
He Says.

Washington, May 4.-Prohibition
enforcement will cost $8S,0OO,OOO
annually Representative Gallivan,
democrat, Massachusetts, declared
today in the house.
There are more illicit stills now
than before prohibition became eff
fective, he said, adding that the bulk
of Anti-Saloon League funds are
used to hire special agents to locate
stills.
"There were 2,006 stills found in
Georgia in 1919," he declared.
"Blind tigers are now surrounded
by romance, if not responsibility.
Members of congress could tell in
teresting interviews with bootleggers
who have been respectable citizens
of the communities in which they
live.
During the year when prohibi-
ltion was young over 5000 stills were
captured by prohibition inspectors
and 100000 gallons of moonshine
confscated."
Besides the stills raided in Geor-
eia, North Carolina and Nebraska,
Mr.. Gallivsp said, 1852 had been
found in Alabama, 48S in South
Carolina, 3S6 in Tennessee, SAG in
Virginia, 121 in Kentucky, 191 in
Florida; 40 in Michigan; Al in Tex
as and 40 in West Virginia.
Control of congress and the pres
idential election may be decided by
the prohibition question, Mr.. CALI
van declared.
"You can no more settle the pro-
hibition question or keep it out of
politics than you can sweep back the
ocean," said he.
every tea kettle and stew pan is
placed under suspicion since the Vol
stead act has become evective.' 1t
prohibits everything with more than
half of one per cent alcohol and
yet the sap Of every tree flows in
violation of that law"

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
MEXICO CITY NEXT
Rebels Will Advance to Torreon
And There Launch Drive.-Vic-
tory Was Rloodless.

Juraz, Mexico, May 4.-Through
the bloodless revolution of Juraz
and capitulation of General Francis
co Urbalejo and his Yaqui Indians at
Casas Grandes, the Sonora revolt
tionists today claimed virtual con-
troll of the state of Chihuahua and
that the way was paved for an un-
obstructed advance against Torreon
from where a campaign is to be
launched against Mexico City.
Events moved rapidly here yester-
day. At 2 o'clockk the garrison re-
volted and popular celebration fol-
lowed. Federal officers unfavorable
to the revolution were superseded.
Abel S. Rodriguez, former national
senator, was named provisional gov
ernor.
General Urbalejo, commanding
the last large body of Carranza
troops in the state, joined the revolt
and plans were made for an imme-
diate advance through Chihuahua
upon the interior strongholds the
Carranza government still holds.
With the capitulation of Juraez,
the revolutionists obtained control
of the majority of customs houses
through which hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in revenue has been
developed for the Mexican govern
ment.
Comparatively small bodies of
troops remained loyal to Carranza
at o:.,er border towns east of here.

LOANS ARE TIED UP
Litigation Over Validity of Ac,
Clogs Macinery-Banks Are

Washington, May 4-Farm loans
aggregating more than S50,O00,000
have been held up by the litigation
over the validity Of the farm loan
act, it developed today at the con-
ference of farm loan officials here.
A majority of the applications for
government aid had reached the
:age where only final approval was
needed to complete the transactions
when it becape necessary for the
farm loan banks to suspend loan op-
erations. Other applications had
been handled by the appraisers and
purchasers of land thereby negotiat-
ed, when funds available to the sys-
tenn were exhausted, Commissioner
Lodbell said.
The general situation confronting
the loan banks and county associa-
tions was described as exceedingly
regretable," but Mr.. Lodbel1 said the
boards hands were tied. AS a result
of the forced inactivity, mos; Of the
banks are skeletonizing their organi-
cations and marking time until
court decision will permit the fota-
tion of new issue of bonds, which
are mot clouded by litigation" to
supply funds.
The conference probably will con-
clude its session to morrow. a re-
view of the farm labor situation was
scheduled to be among the subjects
taken up before discussions end.

CARRANZA LOSES
STAUNCH SUPPORT

Washington, May 4.-Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, long regarded by Carranza
as his staunchest supporter, has
jc:ned in the revolution according
to advices today through official
channels. He was few miles east of
the Mexican calEtal yesterday in
.ommand of two regiments of fed
eral troops and had severed both
railway lines extending to Vera
Cruz.
Another report received here thru
unofficial channels was that the high
military officers whom Carranza
summoned in council a few days ago,
had supplemented their advice to
him to resign, with an ultimatum fix
ing May Is as the limit for his ten
ure of ofiSe.
The reported determination OF the
military group to force him out OF
office would - far, officials here be-
lieved, to account for the failure that
has been met by Carranza in getting
under way any offensive campaign.
To date the revolution has moved
onward without a battle and the re-
port mentioning the ultlmatum ad-
ded that his military advisers were
determined not to follow course
hat would inevitably involve the
country in a long struggle filled with
danger of foreign complications.
