NINETEEN YEARS IN KANSAS.

got tired and careless, not pay
ing much attention to where she
was going, consequently landed
right square on a stump, bend
ing her front axlein the shape
of a half circle and worse than
all bent her crank clear back un-
der the axle and killing her dead
er than Heck and us then some
20 miles from Winthrop. Still
in Lapland, so my conclusions
were, if we were in the condi-
ton of poor hoopy dead we
would be better off. Ray would
not hear to my conclusions, but
being of an iron will began to
try to find some way to infuse
life into hoopy again. Looking
around in the dark he finally
spied wire fence, close by, and
following it he came to a good
post and knocking the staples
loose that held the wire, he fl,
nally succeeded in extracting the
post and with a feeling that we
would yet see the folks that
night set about Strengthening
poor hoopy's axle and crank suf-
ficiently to infuse life in her
again and to our great surprise
and joy the first turn Of the
crank gave her the sparks of
life and she became a live hoopy
again. With hopes revived
and a greater determination to
meet the folks that night, we
put spurs 70 hoopy and was
soon miles away from our trouble
speeding our way as best we
could lodging stumps and mud
holes that we encountered in the
road, finally reaching Jasper "a
little country store and P. O.,)
about Ii o'clock p. M, and
hoopy being very thirsty we
stopped a few minutes for her to
catch her breath and get a good
drink of pure Arkansas water,
bearing in mind that if Hoopy
stopped breathing we might new
er infuse life in her again that
night and thereby fail to meet
the folks that night as we had
hoped to do, and we were afraid
to let her rest long, for fear she
would do like a Boronco go to
bucking. We did not tarry long
till we were on our way, cropping
along in midnight darkness as
poor old hoopy's eyes had failed
on her, but we were only 6 miles
from Winthrop then and we
were determined to reach that
point that night if Hoopy did
not go dead on US. We would
brave the stumps and mudholes
if only we could keep life in
hoopy, and to our great Joy
hoopy did hold up and we arriv'
ed at the little town of Winthrop
at just 1890 a. M, finding my
good wife and the rest of the
folks auxiously waiting for US
and being satisfied that we woulC
arrive that night had prepared
us good supper of razor bacl
meat, corn bread, sorghum mo
lasses and black coffee. and the
best of everything that Arkansas
affords and we were all happily
united again and being very tir
ed we were soon in bed dream
ing of the happy life we would
now enjoy living in Arkansas.

around. ! just decided to take a
little trip down in that country.
My daughter, Eunice, was talk
ing a trip to the Pacific coast for
a rest and recuperation after be-
ing confined to school room for
a term of 8 months and it did
not take me long to convince her
that a trip down in Arkansas
would be much grander and she
would enjoy the scenery much
more than a trip to the Pacific
coast. Bright and early Sunday
morning about the LIST of May
after we had supplied ourselves
with plenty of films and taking
our kodak. stepped aboard the
train for Joplin, Mo. Nothing of
special interest till we got to
Joplin. Then loading our kodak,
we began taking pictures. We
stopped over night at Sloan
Springs, Ark, which is a beauti-
full summer resort. We took
quite a lot of pictures of the
scenes around the spings and we
made it a point to always take a
picture of groups of Arkansan
when possible. Leaving on the
morning train South that is the
K. G. S. R. R., we did not have
an opportunity to get any more
pictures until we got to Heavier.
Okla, We stopped 20 minutes
for dinner and Eunice was much
more interested in taking pic
lures than in dinner and as l
told you before that this is Lap
land and the scenery is grand.
Looking south from Heavener, a
big black cloud seems to loom up
before you, but not so. 1t is a
range of the Ozark mountains
familiarly known in that vicinity
as the Black Horse Mountains.
So the 20 minutes being up the
conductor hallooed All Aboard,
and we had to go whether we had
all the pictures we wanted or not.
We had to be satisfied with the
scenery along from Heavener,
Okla, to Ashdown, Ark, that
being our next stop, and that
was about Is miles further south
than we aimed to go, but the
porter or brakeman or both of
them went to sleep and failed to
call out the station of our desti.

quainted with the country pass.
ed on through unconsciously of
the fact that we had passed our
station, Winthrop, some Is miles
when the conductor came
around and asked me where
was going? told him Winthrop.
He fell back and with holy indig-
nation said you have passed Win
throp' Is miles back and then |
experienced about as much Holy
indignation as he did and told
him to turn around and take me
back to Winthrop. as he nor any
OF his crew called out Winthrop
when we got there and as it was
my first trip down there it was
not my fault that l did not gel
z off there. After debating the
question with me for awhile, he
decided if agreeable with me hs
would take us on to Ashdown

Sir Charles NIAGARA, the lead

Sir Charles NIAGARA, the lead
ing British cotton authority,
says that a reduction of the
American cotton crop would be a
world calamity. Well, it largely
depends upon the ability of the
Southern planters to reduce the
cost of production. Most of last
years cotton crop was grown at
a loss. Of course production
costs will be reduced. but can
they be reduced to a point
s u fiji C e ntly low to make
p o ible any kind of a
profit! But there is sound sense
in what the British authority
says about the mistake the
Southern States of America
might make in encouraging cot
ton production in other countries
by too largely decreasing the
American crop. Louisville Post.

nese have appealed to the powers to
do away with the treaty which Japan
forced upon China during the war
the famous twenty-one de-
mands. The Chinese have sought to
regain Shantung. The tendency of
the powers thus far is to try to get
as much accomplished on naval mat
ters and to do away with the Anglo
Japanese alliance, feeling that after
all these were the principal objects
of the whole gathering so far as pub
lie opinion was concerned. On the
other hand, Mr.. Hughes in his ori-
ginal invitation to the powers sum-
moning this conference laid down the
principle that the peace of the world
would not be achieved until Far East
ern questions were adjusted. The
conference has for the moment set
up a machinery to solve certain the
oretical questions with respect to
Pacific Islands. The vital matters at
fecting China have been side-stepped
as much as possible. The Chinese fear
the evasion is to be permanent and
that the conference is to adjourn with
nothing more than a new set OF de-
clarations which will not be any more
binding upon Japan than past pro-
nouncements. There is some ground
for their suspicion because the pow
ers have already shown a disposition
to appoint investigating commissions
to report at later date--perhaps a
year or two hence.
There has been no such pressure to
settle sthe Chinese problem as has in
fluenced the course Of the delegates
on either the naval ratio or the
alliance. The CONVEX
sations concerning Shantung are not
viewed hopefully in Chinese quar-
ters. The net OF the whole situation
is that il the American delegation
comedies another point to Japanese
pride and refuses to interfere in the
settlement of the Chinese-Japanese
disputes, the Far Eastern situation sc
far as the Chinese are concerned will
have been very little improved BY
the Washington conference. The Chi
nese officials here are apprehensive
that Americas readiness to yield to
Japan on the Yap mandate as well
as the American decision to alter the
original Hughes naval proposals in
order to satisfy Japanese pride and
sentiment is an omen of japanese
American cooperation which spells
trouble for China
