SCHOOL BOYS SWIM
ENDS IN DEATH
Namesake of Mena Man Drowned in
Small Stream Neal Dallas, Mo-,
Thursday.

Details of the death from drowning
Of a nephew of F. w. Ballauf of Mena
are given in the following story from
the Kansas City Star:
"Ballauf Ramsey, 10 years old, was
drowned about 1880 o'clock yesterday
Thursday afternoon while SWIM
ming, in Indian Creek near the Watts
mill at Dallas, Mo- The body was re-
covered three hours later.
Young Ramsey was the elder son
Of Asa +. Ramsey, federal reserve
agent, chairman of the federal re-
serve bank board
About noon yesterday Ramsey and
Jhree sehoolmates, Ralph Dixon,
George Walker and Charles Stebbins,
IN the Ramsey boys fathers Hudson
sedan. took Ramsey's two small sis
ters, Margaret Ramsey and Katherine
Ramsey, to a dinner party. The bows
then went to swim.
The place where they went in the
water is about sixty feet wide and
twelve feet deep, according to the
boys father. Ramsey took off his
clothes and was in the water first. He
started to swim to the far side of the
creek, and had nearly reached the op-
posite bank when his COMPANIONS
heard him call for help.
Dixon plunged in the water to 90 to
his schoolmate's rescue. Ramsey had
gone down for the second time before
Dixon reached his side. A struggle
followed, and Dixon narrowly escaned
losing his own life.
Ramsey's father reached the scene
OF drowning about 2:30 o'clock. He
and Gov. j. q. Miller OF the federal
reserve bank were in the water about
three hours in an attempt to obtain
the. body. II was finally recovered
with the aid of cable wire. A pul.
motor was applied, but to no avail.
All of the boys were students al
Roekhurst College. According to the
Rev. W. H. Fitzgerald, principal Of
the college, yesterday was a holida,
Tor the boys as examinations were be-
ing given other classes. Ramsey

Arkansas in
Forward
Movement
tBy Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, June 6.-Arkansas is
today making preparation to profit by
knowledge gained in its war time ac-
tivities The people were at that
time instructed in the arts and sciences
Of money raising an large scale, and
now the state is to reap harvest.
There is now being conducted the
Christian Education Movement of the
NJ. E. Church, South, the Forward
Education Movement of the Arkansas
Educational Association is soon to
start and there is in process the for
nation an organization which has for
its purpose a tremendous propaganda
campaign concerning the natural re-
sources and possibilities of Arkansas.
This latter association will have a
board of 30 directors and an effort is
being made to make the leading man
in each community member of this
board. This organization plans to
bring the foremost novelists and mag
azine and feature writer's to Arkansas
and show them things which will re-
suit in much space being given to Ar
kansas by the leading publications of
the world. This association viii not
directly refute unfair statements
which have been published in the
metropolitan press, but will confine its
endeavor to the publication of articles
which will convince every reader that
Arkansas is great state, its securi-
ties as good as the best, that it is a
wonderful place to live and that there
is better opportunity to make money
in Arkansas on less capital than else
where in the United States. That the
campaign is not a small one is demon
strated by the fact that the associa-
ton expects to spend 100000 year
for several years and that the cam
paign to raise this fund will be a sue
cess is assured by the acceptance on
the board Of directors of a number of
Arkansas leading bankers and bust
ness men. This association is to be
Incorporated.

II is gratifying evidence of intel
lectual advancement that the Authors
and Composers Society of Arkansas is
this week holding its seventh annual
convention. This organization was
started. purely as a local society of
writer's and musicians, but it has
spread until its membership of more
than 200 covers the entire state. For
the past year the society has been
sponsor for literary magazine, "The
Arkansas Writer" which adequately
sets forth the literary resources of
the state. 1t is published in Little

LETS PULL THE
COUNTRY OUT"
Patriotism Took Possession of Rail-
roads and Men in Wage Confer
ence in Chicage-Spirit of
Cooperation Prevailed.

Chicago, June 9.-The second wage
reduction hearing before the United
States railroad labor board, in which
more than $50 railroads asked wage
cuts, wound up in a rhetorical love
feast today, with representatives of
both railroads and employees express
ing desire for peace and amity in
the railroad industry.
Let's pull the country out of the
situation it faces today" urged F. w.
Sargent, counsel for the Chicago and
Northwestern.
I'VE are anxious to settle contro-
versies for the benefit Of all. We
have all faith in this board. So far
as this road is concerned, it will obey
every decision of the board, even if
it takes US into the hands of the re-
ceiver."
Mr.. Sargent pleaded for a more
lenient stand on the eight-hour day,
declaring that mo living man had
ever made a success of life on eight
hours day" Unusual situations de-
manded harder and longer working
days, he said.
Heads of the Big Four brother
hoods expressed their appreciation of
the spirit Of cooperation" shown by
Mr. Sargent and other rail represen-
tatives and the case was concluded
with the exception Of a dispute over
the right OF the Pullman company to
appear in the hearing. Chairman
Barton announced that the board
would consider the Pullman applica-
ton further tomorrow.
A lengthy argument over applica-
ton of the boards decision of April
Ia, regarding abrogation Of the So
called national agreements marked
the morning session. The board was
asked to place an Interpretation on
the decision and members of the
board said the decision did not order
the rules abrogated, but left it to the
two parties to continue the old rules
or devise new agreements.
In the wage hearing which ended
today both sides mainly reiterated
testimony offered in the hearing last
month. A decision on the case is ex-'
pected soon.

ed" at Presbyterian Church.

Those who attended the Presbyter-

musical treat in the soprano solo,
"Come Ye Blessed" sung by Miss Ola
Lewis, here for the vacation from her
work as teacher in the primary de-
partment of the Hartshorne. Ok.
schools. Miss Lewis, always recog-
nized as one of the best singers of
Mena, surprised even her intimate
friends in the wonderful development
OF her rich voice thru the snecial
training received in New York. II
was evident to all under the sound Of
her voice that her spirit in the render
ing OF the song was in harmony with
that Of the author, John Prindle Scott.

above all, the open hospitality of the
god people of that community was
enjoyed.
There was a dance and a literary
program given by these neonle for the
entertainment of the campers, and bv
small favors and courtesies the yisit-
ors were made to feel that they were
.ssseaS1s@.me to come into that part of the
world. s
For five days and one night the
rain fell in torrents, but they were
small torrents and did not dampen the
enthusiasm Of the Mena folks.
The "gob" that accompanied the
chaperones consisted Of the Misses
