Some weeks ago a Palisade house
keeper called in contractor and got
a price for screening a front porch.
The price was $500. The man of the
house thought this too high, so he got
some strips of lumber, made frames
himself, set up the screens, which were
portable, used the very best Roebling
bright galvanized screen wire, and the
whole cost less than SIS. We live in

Billy" Sunday
 May Visit Fort Smith

Billy Sunday, eX- baseball player and now famous athletic evan gelist," :" is coming to Fort Smith. When, no one knows. but he has written ministers here that he will be glad to pay the city visit and hold meetings.
 It was decided some time ago by the ministerial association to bring Billy Sunday to the city re. gardless of the cost. Correspond ence was entered into with the noted evangelist and reply has been received stating that he will consider dates for meetings.
 Because of the fact that the originator of the .'sawdust trail" is extremely busy and is booked many months in, advance. the date of his visit here is uncertain.

No tide sebbs but that it flows back, and no clock pendulum goes one way without going just as far the other Banks are already loosing up on credits, which is one big thing. As soon as in- dustry gets it's price and wage scale adjusted. it will boom a gain, and and that will not take two months; it is getting adjust ed very fastright now. Indica- tions for another bumper crop were never better. Change in administration has brought a. bout more confidence. We pre- dict that 1921 will be the biggest year in real prosperity this coun- try ever witnessed.

Can Briand Make

Aristide Briand is again Pre- mier of France. He sprang from Breton lisherfolk. He has the soildsqualities of his raca and also that Breton touch of imagination and mysticism (which makes the Breton seem. in comparison with the rest of trenehmen, what the Welchman Lloyd George, for instance) seems in comparison with EngGshmen
 Briand is a self-made man. He became q Socialist. but in 1906 1 when he accepted d Cabinet post. the Socialists pasted him from the party; they did not want to have one of their members take office in cabinet not under it's control.

 The Senator said (for home consumption that he expected this investigation to accomplish one of two results either com plete vlndication of the peniten~ tiary officials, or their indict- ment. He must have said it fer home consumption for even the children in this end of the woods know all investigations have al- ways ended one of those ways and If some muckle- headed grandjury got it's 'instruc. tlons' all balled up and found an indictment. there were still many ways to correct the jury $ silly mistake.
 Say, Town. be darn careful how you go about that investi- tion because the refresh ments usually served freely to the ln- vestigators by the investigates Is harder to get in copious quan- titles since that fool NolsteaH threw n monkey wrench into our thirst quenching machinery, and the quality of what We do get IS so disgustingly horrid that some of your committee might get rambunctious and ask imme- terlal and irrelevant questions which wou q embsrrass the in. vestigee Then il some son-of- a-muck-raker reporter should give out q report to the ASsociat- ed Press your investigation might force several indictments.

They might even think the state ought to get big revenue from the farm. We don't want any embarrassing questions asked at this investigation.

 RESIDENCE BURNS

Fire at 9;45 o'clock this morning practically destroyed the residence of Hugh B. Flippen, on the corner of Simms and Mitchell streets. The blaze originated from a defective flue. starting near the roof. By the time the fire department reached the house 1t was burning all over the roof and with low water pressure it was i'm possible to save more than a portion of the lower floor. Most of the furni ture downstairs was carried out and saved. During the fire a differ ence arose between Fire Chief R. c. Dickerson and F. U. Halter, the chief demanding that City Marshal J. R. Piercy arrest Mir. Halter for interfer ing with his work, but no arrest was made.
 The residence was two stories. con- taining nine rooms and was valued at about S4,000. Mir. Flippen carried in surance to the amount of $2,0OO on the house, but nothing on the con- tents.

 the starvation of the Armenian peo- pie before the next harvest can be gathered. President Ohand djanian's message reads:
 lowing to hail, rain and field mice, the harvest In Armenia fell below expectations. Standing crops appeared well, but owing to poor seed, returns were not as good as was expected. Maximum returns 140,0O tons, only sufficient for eight months for one and half million people. Food crisis critical and in- tensified by new Turkish invasion of Armenia. It Is estimated that 100000 peaceful inhabitants of Sarikamish and Kars region have been forced to renew the life of refugees and flee towards the in- terior of Armenia. There are also large numbers fleeing from Bolshe- viks in Azerbaijan and Southern Russia, and coming to Armenia. Farmers, fearing famine, are un- willing to sell crops, thus leaving the cities foodless. In addition to the Armenian crops, ten thousand tons have been purchased from neighboring countries.
 "1n order to save Armenia 1t is necessary to secure flour from America, 50,00O tons, maximum re- quirement. In the name of the Ar menian Government and the Arme- nian People, beg that you use your wide influence in order that the Near East Relief may secure and ship the flour needed. am sure that in this serious crisis the Near East Relief will not fail to continue it's aid to Armenia in her struggle for existence.

"You can't realize what a sight 1t is to see the refugee camp at Batum," Petty Officer George Porter, of Racine, Wis, writes his family. telling of the work of the Near East Relief in the ports along the Black Sea.
 "The people are dying off little by little. There are workers of the relief organization here, but they don't seem to be able to take care of them all. They were the ones that made the camp. The families all live in grass huts. just high enough to sit up in, and
