Last night we saw the Fanchon-Marco
show at English's. Well, when we were
invited to be one of the party, 1 was
much fused, because 1 had read your
review just few minutes before, and
decided II you knew what you were talk
ing about We were in for pretty duh
time.
Now. Of course, it is nothing to me,
old dear I am talking from a perfectly
disinterested, outsider sort Of view. But
why under the sun didn't you mention
some Of the really good things about
that show. Why, man, it was GOOD!

WAREHOUSE. BURNED
Over 10000 Pounds of Seed
 Cotton Lost in Blaze

Paragould, Oct. 16.-The cotton house of the Indepen- dent Gin Company, located in the northeastern part of the city, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. About 10000 pounds of seed cotton, valued at about S5,000 was consumed. The cotton was the property of the Lesser Goldman Cotton Company and was insured. The building was also insured.
 The fire is supposed to have been caused by a match accidentally dropped by some one while unloading cotton.

called upon to make all the cut. but at the same time the railroad employees cannot jus tify themselves in holding up all other classes of labor, the farmer and the manufacturer, in order to maintain wages at a point out of line with other wages and other costs of pro- duction.
 The railroad labor court, created by the United States government, accepted as a fin- al court, decided there should be cut of 12 per cent. This figure was reached after both sides had their day in court. The court was an arbitrator. It's findings were lawful. II both sides entered the court both sides are bound.
 Some are saying the em- ployes must win or their unions will be smashed. Others in- sist the roads must win or go body and soul back to the government. The lives of the unions and the lives of the roads are in no danger because of an adjustment of the pres ent row.
 The third party (and the biggest party)-the public has rights. It pays the bills. It insists that things go on Tn order.
The Newark journal., 1921-10-20

no other reduction or change in working rules will be toler- ated. Hence the strike.
 There has been a decline in other wages, in all things men eat and wear-in all things except those held either in the grip of an owner trust or a labor trust.
 The public pays the wages of railroad employees, and the public pays the interest on the railroad bonds and on the stocks.
 Railroads, while an impor- tant part of the business of the country, create nothing, make nothing.
 They haul what other peo- pie make and what other peo- pie consume. They haul peo- pie from ole place to anoth- CT.
 During the war and follow ing it the people were patient with the roads. They exempt ed many railroad men from the draft. They loaned 1aoney to the roads. They wet nurs- ed both owners and employees.
 They stood for high freight rates until the rates in some cases destroyed business, be- cause the business could not pay the tariff.
 The roads claim the rates are made necessary by the cost of operation. They say the biggest cost in operation is wages.
 We'll, the present cost of operation, as reflected in rates is stopping sawmills in the south and steel mills in the north. It keeps corn on the farm and cattle in the fields. Farm labor, timber labor and much skilled labor is out of work because what they work in cannot stand the rate.
 We know of no other labor killed or unskilled, receiving war time pay. No profession s getting it. Sources of in- come are making smaller yields.
 Now labor should not be

HE SERVES BEST

The Rotary Club has as it's motto, "He profits most who serves best" Surely this ought to be true" observed a man the other day who is a keen student of country life conditions. But I doubt if 1t is true of the country news paper. Few country life in- stitutions render the service to their community that the country weekly renders, yet l know of few editors of the country papers who have died rich or even well-to-do. I am told that surveys show that the average difference be- tween what the editor takes in and what he pays out is an exceedingly small figure when it has to be salary and return on investment.

GIVE. CREDIT AND
 YOU WILL EARN TT

Don't hesitate to express your appreciation of the other fellows merit. It will please him, and it will raise you in the estimation of others.
 Try it. If you have men working under you, speak up and give them credit. Don't wait tin they make mistakes and jump on them. It makes bad blood and causes little good.
 Try it for just one week. Stop finding fault. Be on the lookout for merit. The chanc- es are you will find something to praise. And just keep on giving credit for a whole week to the men you have been finding fault with hitherto. =
 You will have all the men on your side. They will do better work and more of it. Incidentally, you will become popular, and eventually your men will give you credit for handing it to them.

The Public and the Railroad Strike
COMMERCIAL APPEAL

In 1914 the railroad em. ployes were drawing an aver. age of $815 year.
 In 1921, before the propos- ed and now disputed 12 per rent cut the average wage was ,898 a year.
 After the proposed 12 per cent cut the average wage is 1895 a year.
 Since 1914 the government and labor board made two in- creases. Other increases were made by carriers.
 The pay of engineers over 1914 is a rate of 38 per cent increase. The pay of firemen Is 100 per cent. But in 1914

KEEPING THE COUNTRY TOWN
 YOUNG FOLKS IN THE COUNTRY

Country towns turn out a large number of bright and progressive young people. But in past years most of them went away to larger places. If you could induce the ma- jority of these folks to settle down around home, this town and the nearby country, would make a marvellous advance in prosperity.
 This is not an impossible proposition. All it takes is the same go-ahead spirit that many rural communities are showing. Country life can be made so bright, so attractive, and so hopeful in a business way, that the young people will become deeply attached to their home life, and will see such satisfactory career

in it, that they will in the ma- .jority of cases settle down near home.
 While our community has made splendid progress during recent years, yet we have lost a large number of young people who might just as we'll have stayed at home. We need their bright wit and progress i've outlook ard business abil- ity.
 Now the problem is, how to keep the many of their type now in our schools, some of whom are beginning to get a little restive, and to long for big city glitter. We can keep them, or most of them, if we will. If we succeed in doing it, it means a splendid future development for our eommun- ity.

BANK CASHIER USES SHOTGUN TO END LIFE r.
Wiley D. Cotton of Dardanelle Commits Suicide Follow
 ing Breakdown

Dardanelle, Oct. 17.-Wlley D. Cotton, for 30 years con- nected with the Dardanelle Bank & Trust Company, and during virtually all of that time it's cashier, committed suicide at about 6:30 o'cclock this morning by emptying the contents of both barrels of a shotgun into his body, dying a little more than an hour lat CT. The tragedy was enacted in what had been a COW lot in the rear of the Cotton home. The two barrels of the gun were fired separately with an apprciable interval of time between. The shots were heard by members of the fam fly and others in the neighbor- hood, who, upon rushing to
 he scene found MT. Cottof lying upon the ground partly disemboweled.
 He arose early this morning, before other members of the family were astir, went into the lot and placing the muzzle of the gun to his abdomen, pulled the trigger.
 A surgeon, was summoned from Russellville and reached Mr. Cotton before his death 1 but was unable to render any effective aid toward saving the mans life. MT. Cotton re- mained conscious until shortly before his death. He had been suffering from nervous breakdown for about year and in conversation with a friend who reached his side after the shooting, he said that his suffering had become unbearable and this was the cause of his taking his own life.
 Mr. Cotton was about 50 wears old. His breakdown oc- cured about one year ago, during the financial crisis that affected banks and business institutions throughout the | South. While the institution of which he was cashier weathered the storm, MT. Cot tons nervous system gave way under the strain. His mind 1 was affected at times and he was unable to transact busi- ness and relinquished his du- ties at the bank.

negro firemen were receiving much less than white firemen. Thy were brought up to the level of white firemen and this, in part, accounts for the higher per cent of 100.
 The labor board ordered a cut of 12 per cent, beginning July 1. This was regarded as acceptable fef time but strike vote rejects this cut.
 The men threatening to strike are in position of de- the peak wages-re- fusing to accept any cut.
 They claim that this cut is threatened to be followed by another. They say they might stand the 12 per cent cut, but

PUREBRED SIRES ARE
 IMPROVING GRADES
Better Stock on the Farms of Arkansas Will Bring Great
 CT Prosperity

The use of purebred sires in producing better farm and market stock in Arkansas is one of the important features in the programme of county agent work of the agricultural extension service for the com- ing year.
 Entirely too many low grade scrub animals are going to market from this state, special ists of the extension service say. Purebred bulls were found on only one per cent of the farms in the state last year, according to census re- ports.
 Last year through the influ- ence of County farm agents a total of 486 purebred sires for farm animals were brought into the state. This work of replacing the. scrub sire with the purebred sire will be car ried on until the class of ani- nals raised in this state is bet ter. With more purebred sires in the state there will be fewer "heretics, quinine steers and "cold-blooded" hogs going to market, which means that the market grades of Arkansas live stock will be higher and that Arkanaas farmers will re- ceive more money for animals marketed.
 The sire is the biggest half in producing an animal for use on the farm or for the mar ket. 1t has been found thru years of experimental work in breeding that the sire has more influence on the offspring than does the dam.
 Through years of careful selection and intellingent breeding the purebred sire has acquired the ability to stamp his own fixed charac- teristics of good quality and conformation on his offspring. The scrub sire (so many of which are found in Arkansas) degenerates the farm herd. He is an intensified mass of imperfections, a mixture of which he transmits to his off, spring. He reproduces not his kind. but an assortment of de- generates, fewer better than himself.
 Figures easily show that it is economy to use a purebred l sire in the production of mar ket animals. The grade calf, 1 a result of using a purebred ! sire on a scrub or grade dam, | will weigh more than its dam when from six to nine months i old. The grade yearling will weigh 50 per cent more than the scrub yearling.
