Governor Harding.
America has many domestic prob

First-Transportatio
Second-Conservation OF food.
Third-Marketing or distribution

Water Transport Cheaper.
1.-THE transportation furnished by

.nomical, has been little developed and
little used by the people of the United
States. From Duluth and all the
lake ports, by way of the St Lawrence
ito Boston and all Atlantic ports, Is

and a comparatively small amount OF
money, the journey back can be made
,on a water grade. Within the past %
years, or even less, there has been a
most remarkable in maritime develop
.ment on the American Great Lakes.
From Duluth to Chicago, to Buffa-
10, these lakes extend approximately
4 900 miles. The country round about
these Great Lakes is rich in natural
resources, and within the last half
century, there has been such develop
.ment on and around these Great
Lakes, that today they produce ton
mage almost unbelievable. The tom
mage on these Great Lakes exceeds
that of the Mediterranean and the
Black seas combined.

ROB ARKANSAS BANK OF $500
Daring Robbery Staged at Noon by
 Two Unmasked Men

Imboden, July 21.-Immediately af- ter reopening the Citizens bank of Smthville, 12 miles south of here, af- ter noon today. Cashier Luke John- white men at the point of revolvers and forced to surrender approximate ly $1.300 in currency and silver. After staging the daring robbery, ;the two men calmly walked out of the front door and started out of town on foot. MT. Johnston was alone in the bank when the two robbers appeared. He was sitting at a desk looking over some papers, When ne heard the two men enter, he stepped up to the wick ct to wait on them. When he reached the window, he was looking into two Tevolvers. He was commanded to make no outcry under threat of be- ing killed.
 The robbers then stepped behind the cage and began ransacking the money drawers and the safe. They demand ed the government bonds, which they declared were in the bank, but Mr. Johnston told them that these had been sent to Washington. There were several thousand dollars worth in the safe, but they were unmolested. The robbers found the cashiers revolver and put it with the other loot.
 When the robbers left the bank sev- era persons fired at them, and they returned the fire. All the shots went wild. A posse was organized and gave chase. The two men had taken a rocky road out of town, and could not be followed in automobiles. Members of the posse soon caught sight of the men and fired several times at them, but all shots missed.
 It is believed the men are hiding in the woods short distance south of town. Officers and members of the possee have them surrounded, it was reported tonight, and their capture is momentarily expected.

FAMILY FARM PLAN FOR
 THE VACATED FARMS
Family Farm Plan to Solve the Vacat- ed Land Acres; Plan is Being
 DeyepOled.

Tyler, Texas, July 23.-Believing that if the exodus from the farm to the city is permanently checked there must be an improvement in the living conditions of the rural districts, the East Texas Chamber of Commerce at Tyler, Texas, is proposing family farm" that will serve this purpose as we'll as the purpose of solving the farm labor problem. This effort to colonize energetic and thrifty farmers on small farms, with each having only that amount of land which he and his fam fly can profitably plant, cultivate and harvest, has touched responsive chord in the hearts of many trained farmers who were lured into the cities by the tempting high wages of war times and the many nome conveniences not now enjoyed in the rural districts, and thousands of landless men are how they may acquire such a home for their families.
 The family farm" idea was original ed through the necessity of planters in this and other regions of the agricul- tural district having to let land lay out durng the present year because there were no tenants. More than thou sand East Texas farms were not cul- tvated this year and many of the planters who attempted to cultivate their farms with hired help have found it unprofitable. On the other hand, the man with just enough acres for himself and family to tend has made money, and if livng conditions were inn proved, would be happy and content ed. These things being true it is but good business on the part of the com munity builders to encourage the small farms and strive to make life in the country worth while. The family farm" that this organization is pro- posing is one with modern bungalow house, a roomy yard, barns and out buildings, lots, garden, orchard and COW pasture. Screens and paint will add to the beauty and convenience of the home. Grouping these homes would make it possible to maintain lighting plants and water works that would give a bath and kitchen sink in each little home.

Sister Margit Slachta is the name of
the first woman elected recently to the
parliament of Hungary. She was for
merly school teacher and for ten
years was member of the Catholic
Social Mission society, where she did
social work excellently as a profess

ty-five and thirty-eight years of age
and has given her country excellent
service, organizing in the whole coun-
try the Catholic women who were vot-
ing for the first time, and through her
work her party became the leading
one, having a majority in the house.
