DID Y0U GET YOURS!
Every Man Had Gallons of Booze
 Coming to Them

Washington, Sept. 4,-If you didn't get nine gallons of intoxicating li- quors last year, you were out of luck If in that same period you failed to receive 390 cigarettes, 7G cigars and a half pound of chewing tobacco or snuff, your luck stone must have been off watch.
 That is the conclusion of govern ment statisticians who have figured out that for every man, woman and child in the United States last year there was consumed 9.17 gallons of liquor, and the above listed amounts of c1g- arrettes, cigars and tobacco.
 Thirty-nine billion factory made cig- arretes were consumed in this coun- try of 100 100000 persons, or 390 per capita Altogether, 55,0000 100000 cig- aretes were made here but 16,000, 0,000,- 000 were exported.
 The combined production of cigars in American factories during the last year was 7,629, ,OO0, 900. Chewing to- bacco and snuff, aggregated 427 100000 pounds.
 Anti-liquor legislation has reduced the per capita consumption of intox- icating beverages. from 22.79 gallons in 1916 to 9.17 gallons last year. The nations drink bill for th6 last three years amounted to $1,78 690,0O0 an nually.

OPERATg0N STOPS ON
 THE Ea., D. & 6. LINE
Train Crews Walk Ont When Their Wages Are Cut Ten Per Cent
 Ne Trains fer Several Dasy.

The Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Rail- road has suspended operations inde- finitely, according to officials of road, as a result of a Wal1out of the train crew September g. It is understood a ten per cent decrease in wages and the raadiustment of the schedule on September 1 were responsible for the dissatisfaction among the men, which culminated in the tieup last Saturday
 With the release of the road from federal control, it's financial condi- tion made it necessary to reduce the wages of all employees and to take off many trains, reducing the schedule to three mixed trains weekly, in each direction
 Every effort is being made by the road to get together train crews and resume service, officials say, but the road is unable to meet higher wage scale as it has been running on 50 per cent deficit. Petitions in bank ruptcy has been filed in the United States District Court at Fort Smith by the road and will be heard Friday.
 Officials of the road have also been notified to appear before the Arkan- sas Corporation Commission Friday in regard to the order issued last week by the commission requiring the Mem phis, Dallas and Gulf to/maintain it's schedule of August 91, pending fur ther order of the commission.
 September 2 residents of Mineral Springs filed Q petition with the com- mission, asking tha tthe M., D. and G. be required to operate trains daily, on the grounds that the shipping interests of Mineral Springs would be injured by curtainment of the road The con- mission set September 10 as the date for the hearing, and required the road to maintain it's daily schedule pending the hearing.
 Traffic Tangled.
 Traffic is greatly tangled in Ash down on account of the M., D. and G. not operating trains. Many people change trains here daily on are unable to reach points on the road. The wholesale houses located on side tracks have been unable to get any switching done, and in order to keep business moving, have to load and un- Road contractors will not be able to continue their graveling of roads until operations are again resumed on the road, as all gravel is shipped over that line from Pike, county. It is causing quite hitch in this work.
