Splendid Sermon Is Found
 Ln This Calendar And Map

I, sending out a calendar for ,ooi and a map of the state of Ar ionsas the H. G. Pugh Printing Sompany of Little Rock, made an onclosure in. the form of a letter ehat contains a most helpful and ";oue sermonette. In fact, the :ana is so original and so full of s;re sS thought that it should be pass lI on down the line. It is especial lv appropriate just now when the ngeonIe are facing so many grave problems The letter follows:
 This calendar contains three hun dred and sixty-five of the finest Javs that money can't buy, each one guaranteed full twenty-four Iours long and each loaded to the last minute in the last hour with +,.onble. failure and defeat for the weak- hearted and with hard work, snccess and happiness for the for overlooking, strong-hearted fellows who. tho somewhat disfigured by fifteen cent cotton and other "soc- dolagers," are still in the ring.
 This map encloses that part of God's dominion where courage, en- ergy and common sense pay biggest dividends. The seventy-five sub- divisions called counties arein real ity garden patches and from the ap- ple orchards of Benton to the cot ion fields of Chicot, from the hard wood forests of Clay to the fertile farms of Miller, each group of work CTS can work their will with the soil, the forests, the mines and the streams.
 Here's hoping that everywhere this greeting goes it will find men with imagination to make ambitious plans, energy to fill each day with honest effort and courage to Keep Smil- iu

ARREST coUNTERFEITERs
Sheriff Plant Captures Three and
 Siezes Paraphernalia.

Searcy, Dec. 26.-Missing his Christmas dinner to run down eri- minals, Sheriff Plant spent most of Christmas day in a search made afoot over almost impossible noun tains in an effort to catch two men suspected of making counter feit< money And he did not stop tntii he found his men. Sheriff Plant never does, and as result of his devotion to duty Philip Schultz and his son, Will, are in the White county jail with Lee Hess, who was arrested Friday by Deputy Jim Ship man at Bald Knob on the same charge.
 Hess has admitted his part in the crime, but the other men are sul- len, though it is believed they will confess, as a part of the counter feiting outfit was found at their home, and the elder man was iden- tified as having passed the counter felt money. Several dozen pieces of the bogus coin are in Sheriff Plants possession.
 Friday afternoon the three men spent halves and nickels rather free ly at Bald Knob. A merchant, sus- pecting that the coins were not good, showed some of them to Depu- ty Shipman who caught the Hess boy before he got out of town. :.
 Shipman then telephoned Sheriff Plant, who left early Christmas morning, going from there to Rus sell, near the home of the Schultz.
 The elder Schultz was hanging around the station when Sheriff Plant with Deputies Marion Howell of Searcy and Jim Shipman of Bald Knob got off the train, but eluded them and left for his home, which is on top of Buzzards' Roost Noun tain. and inaccessible to any vehicle or even to horses. The officers were carried within a few miles of the house, being forced to make the balance of the journey afoot.
 The Schultz boy was doing senti- nel duty a short distance from the house when the officers arrived, but they rushed the house before he could give the alarm and caught the elder Schultz in the act of de- stroying the paraphenalia used for his et-rich-quick scheme.
 Part of the outfit had already been thrown over the steep cliff near the house, but officers secured the ladle, rudely made from a fry ing pan, used for pouring the mix ture into molds, a glass jar of plas- ter paris for making molds, and a quantity of beavit, a compound which, mixed properly with ground glass and other things, is used for the manufacture of counterfeit coins.
 The father and son were arrested and brought to Russell.
 The parties arrested have bad records behind them, officers say. Will Schultz and his younger broth CT, Gus, were arrested several years ago on a charge of having murdered little Joanna Hess of North Little Rock, whose badly mutilated body was found in the woods near her home. On account of insufficient evidence they were not convicted. The Hess boys father served a sentence in the federal penitentiary for counterfeiting. Sheriff Plant then constable at Bradford, went with the federal officer to arrest him more than 10 years ago.
 This will probably be the last ar rest of importance that will be made by Sheriff Tatum Plant, as his term

interests is to control the state Sen ate. If this can be done, the gang can nullify any reform of the peni- tentiary management, the Board of Control, the Highway Department, or any and all measures for the re- lief of the people of this state. The people have spoken upon these things, and it is only through con trol of their representatives in the General Assembly by these special interests, that these demands can be thwarted.
 "Whatever suspicious any of us may have had heretofore regarding the Arkansas Corporation Commis- sion are now being absolutely con firmed. 1 consider this law and its operation, the most dangerous usur- patton of the peoples powers and rights ever enacted in the state. l have no doubt that the next legisla- ture is going to remedy this menace in accordance with the peoples de- mands.
 And right here I want to say that at this hour I have absolute faith in the integrity and good in- tentions of the approaching legisla- ture, both House and Senate. l do not believe that these legisla- tors will ignore their constituents and surrender abjectly to these spec ial and corrupt interests. As l have said, I have no weapons with which to fight except the peoples demands. I positively will not trade upon pat ronage and appointments. will not compromise with the forces of wrong. I will be sustained by the legislature, or I will be repudiated, and the things stand for will be repudiated. This is the vital thing.
 ''It is the lust for power and place and privilege on the one hand, and the righteous desire for sound gov ernment and restoration of the peo- ple's rights, upon the other. In fine, this is the issue"

McRae Challenges
 Senate Opponents

Little Rock, Dec. 30.-Unalterab opposition to the Arkansas Corpora ton Commission and abolishment of this body by repeal of the act of 1919, which created it, was emphat- ically announced last night by Gov ernor-elect McRae.
 MT. McRae stated that the first test of strength between himself and the anti-administration forces will come in the attempt to confirm, in the Senate, Governor Brough's ap- pointments of T. E. Wood, John T. Burkett and Hogan Oliver, as mem- oers of the commission. Friends of the commission, the governor-elect said, will have the support of friends of the Penitentiary Commission, the Board of Control and the Highway Department and the supreme ob- jective will be to dominate the Sen ate with view to blocking any re- 1ormatory legislation advocated by the administration in relation to these offices. The four offices are slated for slaughter in the platform of the Democratic party and the governor-elect expressed confidence that the legislature will back up the party platform.
 MT. McRae authorized the follow ing statement concerning the situa- tion
 T am unalterably opposed to Sem ate confirmation of the three cor poration commissioners appointed by Governor Brough, and 1 am opposed to joint confirmation of Finn Craig upon the Penitentiary Commission. will urge and expect early legisla- tive remedy of the penitentiary mess, for the time to start new crop is at hand.
 'Feverish Activity"
 "l am advised of the feverish ac- tvity among the professional poli- ncians and corporation aids looking to Senate confirmation of the new ly appointed Corporation Commis- slon members.
 Ut is we'll recognized fact that thelr scheme involves much more lhan the mere confirmation of these llhree professional politicians. I nave no weapon to fight with ex- cept public pressure. l have been gwen to understand that if l will let the Corporation Commission alone the gang will not oppose other parts of my program. They are very kind.
 "This is the same gang that has destroyed the last two administra- uons. If they destroy mine they Will have to do it without making me a party to it.
 Tt is true that Governor Brough wanted to take me in on the scheme 10 perpetuate the Corporation Com mission. I will not repudiate my campaign promises and the demands or the Democratic platform.
 Everything is up to the legisla- .sure, especially the Senate. While itnne first test of strength will proba-- ply come in the confirmation of Aessrs. Burkett, Oliver and Wood, l am quite we'll aware that the cor poorations will have the aid of those Who want the Penitentiary Commis- sion to remain in the hands of those Who have plunged it so deeply in uebt; they will also have the aid ot those directly interested in retain Ing the Board of Control; likewise, tney are making common cause with those who want the Highway De partment to remain untouched. lnese are the big four which the state Democratic convention de- handed changed.

 Pupil of Gill High School.)
 If I had a million dollars to spend for the good of Memphis I would use it for that purpose before died, so I would enjoy seeing and person ally help carrying my idea out. know my million would go to help poor mothers with tiny babies. It could be large free hospital or distributing place, sending out nurses and necessary things to out of way places.
 It would be something to help make mothers hearts lighter and free of care. Who knows but what this crime wave may have been caused by seeds sown years ago?

B. E. Hogue, aged about 55 years, died last night in Memphis. Hogue was one-armed man who resided near the water and light plant. He had lived here for twelve years and had been engaged in peddling and draying.

He leaves a girl, aged Is, and a boy aged 12. Kind-hearted friends yes terday made up a purse to pay the boys expenses to Memphis and re- turn. It will be up to the charit- ably inclined people of Marianna to take charge of this girl and boy and see that they are properly cared for.

$500, ,oOO Invisible Guest

MT. Hoover said in part:
 ''So long as any person in this na- tion can entertain an automobile he can entertain an invisible" guest There are 6,000,000 automobiles and only 3,50O,000 guests. Since this nation is spending billion dollars annually supporting automobiles, am other billion on ice cream, cosmetics and chewing gum; few billion more on drinks, tobaccos and other luxu- ries-it has not reached point of destitution that warrants refusal to buy happiness and cheerfulness for this mass of children"
 Gen. Pershing said:
 To-day even the most destitute of our children in America are rich in comparison with millions of chil- dren of the poverty-stricken nations of Europe, who appeal to us for help. It seems to me that if there ever was a time in the history of the world when human sympathies should be stirred to activity, it is during this after-the-war period"
