 POOL NEXT WEEK
100000 BALES IS QUOTA
FOrty-Five Counties in Drive for Arkansas Cotton Growers As
 sOciation Members.

Little Rock, Dec. 8.-Forty-five cotton producing counties of the state will complete their plans for the gi- gantlc 100000 bale cotton pool Fri day, December 9. Meetings have been called in every cotton county at every county seat, where every man who has signed the cotton marketing contract will meet to arrange the de- tails for an intensive drive during victory week." which extends throughout the whole of next week. December 12-17.
 Thursday, December 15, has been designated as the most important day in the whole victory week drive. This day has been set aside as "every- member get-a-member" day, and nearly 800 farmers have already vol unteered to devote the whole of their time during that day to the task of signing up new members to the Ar kansas Cotton Growers Association
 Officials of the farm bureau hope to see the full state quota of 100000 bales reached during the victory week activity, and they are confident that their hopes will materialize if the plans are carried out fully by the county directors.
 During a meeting of all farm bu- reau officers, cotton association work CTS, county farm bureau officers, county agents, and secretaries of chambers of commerce, in Little Rock last Saturday the following plan of the rest of the drive was announced by campaign manager, F. R. Shanks ::

IDOLS OF CLAY"

All the keen sense for colorful eff fleets and knowledge of what consti- tutes the really thrilling and dra- matic which George Fitzmaurice dis played in "On With the Dance" and "The Right to Love-" is said to be contained in redoubled measure in his latest production, Idols of Clay at the Ideal theatre Friday. The story romance of two widely divergent worlds, was written by Ouida Bergee, artistic effort, has been spared in making it one of the most lavishly produced and spectacular pistures of the current season.
 Mae Murray and David Powell are again the featural players. Miss Murray has the role of a pretty Eng fish birl, brought up in innocence on a remote South Sea island, despite the fact that her father, a recluse, is a pearl smuggler, guilty of almost every crime on the calendar To the island comes Dion Holme, young English sculptor, played by David Powell. Holme is trying to forget an unfortunate love affair that has virtually wrecked his career Through the South Sea miss, his faith in his work and in women restored, and their romance leads from the trop- ics to the resorts of London society and thence to the shadowy dens of the Limehouse waterfront.

WORLD HEARS NEWS QUICKLY
But One Hundred Years AGO the Horse
Was the only Means Of "Rspld"
Communication.

A few hours after Caruso died the
civilized world knew Of II and was In
mourning A hundred years ago
Napoleon died, on May 8, 1s21-and
II was exactly sixty days before the
world received the news, the New York
Evening Post states.
Though the English we're expecting
his death at any moment and had made
every preparation TO have word trans.
mitted from st. Helena to England
with all possible dispatch, II was not
until July 4, that the news reached
London. having been brought there by
the sailing vessel Heron. In accor-
dance with the spirit Of the times,
the message was not given out on the
arrival Of the vessel, but was first con.
yeyed TO the colonial Office, an act
which required approximately two
hours In itself.
July 4. 1921, fell on Wednesday
on Friday, July Q. the news reached
Paris. Messengers were dispatched
from Paris 10 Germany, where the
newspapers commented on the death
Of General Bonaparte" for the first
time on July II, sixty-elght days after
the event had taken place. And this
notice was in paper published at
Mayence then virtually French
town.
The vosslsche zeltung, founded In
1T04 and then. as now, the leading
German daily, contained no notice Of
Napoleon's death until July IL, and
then II merely copied the London
Times Private Individuals living In
the provinces. regardless of their
station In life, received the news much
later. Il was not conveyed to Goethe
then living at Welmnr. until the very
last OF July. He received II IN O
letter bearing a blnck seal.
