turned, and with laughter and eager,
interrupted talking went back to the
house.
Cherry, Peter saw at once, was DIFF
ferent in every way. Cherry was full
of softness, of ready response to any
appeal, of sympathy and comprehen-
sion. She had been misunderstood,
unhappy. neglected; she had devel-
oped through suffering a certain timid-
ity that was almost a shrinking, a
certain shy clinging to what was kind
and good.
Her happiness here was an hourly
delight to both Alix and himself. She
seemed to flower softly; every day
of the simple forest life brought her
new interest, new energy, new bloom.
She and Alix washed their hair again,
damned the creek again, tramped and
sang duets again. Sometimes they
cooked, often they went into the old
senseless spasms Of laughter at moth
ing, or almost nothing.

was not even aware yet that Cherry

"Of course, he knew that you were

"Well come over to San Francisco
soon, and you'll see the new hotels"
Alix promised when they were seated
on the upper deck, with the blue wa
tiers of the bay moving softly past
them. Cherry's happy eyes followed
q wheeling gull; she felt as if the
world was suddenly sunshiny and sim
pie and glorious again. "But now, I

"We're well used to it." Alix de-
clared, smiling, too. But little sigh
stabbed through the smile a second
later. Cherry's exquisite eyes grew
sympathetic; she suspected from the
letter Alix had written that there
would be no nursery needed in the
mountain cabin for a while, and she
knew that to baby-loving Alix this
would be bitter cross.
Sausalito, fragrant with acacia and
rose blooms rose steeply into the
bright sunshine beyond the marshes
skirting the bay glittering in light. |
Cherry's eager eyes missed nothing,
and when they left the train at Mill |
Valley, and the mountain air envel-
oped them in a rush of its clear soft |
ness and purity she was in ecstasies. |
She gave an exclamation of delight !
when they reached the cabin. 1t was |

summer noon. There were still butter |
cups and poppies in the fields, and in
the garden thousands of roses were |
growing riotously, flinging their long
arms up against the slope of the low
brown roof, and hanging in festoons
from the low branches of the oaks
Beyond the house the mountain rose;
from the porch Cherry could look
down upon the familiar valley and
the rivers winding like strips of blue
ribbon through the marshes, and the
far bay, and San Francisco beyond.
Inside were shady rooms, bowls of
flowers, plain little white curtains
stirring in the summer breeze, peace
and simplicity everywhere. Cherry
smiled at the Immediately clad Chi
matter Of boarding or keeping the nat.

While the state does not rank among the greatest cotton producers, does not compare in size with some of the Southern states. fter all it's cotton crop is about as good for the size of the state as that of some of the larger producers. In 1919 the total production of cot ton was 11,376,1 130 bales compared with 10,649,26S bales in 1909.

This was an increase Of 5.3 per cent in the number of acres in cotton and&i.S per cent in the num- Der of bales produced. The actual in crease in acres was 1,696,26S and in bales 726,S6
 1 The states reporting the largest acreage in cotton in 1919 were Texas with II ,522 ,537 acres. Georgia with 4,729, 49S acres, NJ Mssissippi with 2,- 9iS3S1 acres, and Oklahoma with ? 732 962 acres.

To Unite All Crafts

We can make real fight on the rules proposition when we might not have the full support of the other branches of railway employees on q wage fight alone," Mir. Jewell said. "If we want to protect our best 1n- terests we must wait until the time is opportune. But if the labor board releases all the remaining rules to be acted upon at one time we then will have hte whole matter before us. We will need only one vote, to accept or reject the rules, to determinate what will be done.'
 This announcement was greeted with applause, and questioners arose in all parts fo the hall to press for further details. Answering one ques- tion. Mir. Jewell asserted that the shop crafts would have the co-opera- tion of other organizations, including the big four brotherhoods, if strike is called. and urged his audience to prepare for action.
 The strike vote. completed August 1. was announced as showing a constl- tutional ma ajority against the wage reduction which went into effect July ?. This was the first official confir- nation of the result. which has been rrmored for som time.

Board Condemned.

Condemnation of the operations of the labor board and of it's decisions was voiced by all speakers at the meeting MT. Jewell charged that the railroads were attempting to use the board to take an unfair advantage of the industrial situation. The board s method of drafting rules to supplaht the national agreement, wartime measure undr which the mployes work at present, was asserted to he impractical because only seven of the 1SG rules have been substituted.
 Mir. Jewell said he would demand of the board that for once it meet situation in practical way, and announce the remaining rules simul- taneously instead of p.eeemeal.
 When the board announces the substitute rules our committee will take d ballot" Mr. Jewell said, If the rules are not satisfactory and the ballot says so. we will take a result to the railroadstl If they refuse to grant our reasonable demands they will have to stand responsible and answer to the American people.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
 OCTOBER 9, 1921

October 9th is now recognized all over this broad land as Fire Proven tion Day, and as that time will arrive before our publication day in Octo- Der, we urge that it be observed in q manner suited to the occasion in every city and town in Arkansas. It would mean much in conservation of life and property in this state. Its observance can be had in an effective maner by fire prevention programs being held in all hte schools, public and private, by private gatherings with suitable programs, fire depart ment parades with banners suitably inscribed placed on the apparatus, and in many other ways that would tend to bring this important matter to the attention of the people who are paying the cost of this annual fire waste
 So vast was the loss of life and property from this destructive force in the United States that last year President Wilson issued a proclama- tion calling upon hte people to ob- serve the day, and doubtless Presi- dent Harding will do the same this year.
 Last year the property loss by fire in the United States was $5O5,000,- 900, and about 10000 lives. Isn't it time we began to do something to waste and destruction? Let Arkan- sas' citizens to their part and do it well.-Arkansas Fire Prevention Blu reau.

 Life is a gift but like the Biblical talents, it is received in ways that differ. Regard that timorous spirit who is cowed by nature, or by circum- stances or by simple inertia; content to eddy idly in a calm backwater of existence risking nothing of his vital capital adding little to the small sum of his experience; satisfied with mak- ing the wold no wose, having no thought towad the betteing therrof ]; negative, neutral, level has he lived? A thousand times no. What rewards might have been within his grasp? The humble inception of effort does not necessarily limit it's possibilities i; man decides such things himself The nut, inglorious Milton who consents to his own silencing has not lived; he has occurred and vanished. That is all.
 To have lived, with learning and depth, with vigor and with direction i; to have loved and known faith and fire, and the terror that chOkes; to have labored-yea, to the full, to the last gasping ounce of strength; if these be accomplished, then of a sure- ty, all is well l.-Philadelphia Public Ledger

RAILWAY STRIKE
 DEFERRED
Unions to Await Announcement of New Working Rules by Board.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Railroad shop men belonging 10 the six federated shop crafts unions have voted to strike against the general railroad wage reduction of July l, 1921, but will defer any action until the pro- mitigation of working rules now pend ing before the United States Railroad Labor Board, when another vote will be taken on acceptance or rejection of the rules.
 This announcement was officially made known by B. NJ. Jewell, head of the shop crafts organization, at q mass meeting of Chicago shop work CTS today.
 Belief that stronger fight could be made if strike is called with preservation of the shopmen's work ing rules as one of the goals, led to the decision to withhold strike call for the present, Mir Jewell said. He and other union speakers counseled the men to wait until the entire wage and rules situation is before them, rather tha nrush into strike which Mir Jewell declared the railroad man agements desired.

HOME BREW" IS ALLEGAL,
 SAYS DRY DIRECTOR

Washington, Sept. 20.-Warnine that the making of intoxicating ''home brew" is illegal was issued last night by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes Numreous inquiries have been re ceived recently, he said, concerning the home manufacture of fruit juices growing out of reports that head of a household was entitled to make POO gallons of wine year under permit.
 The attitude on the home brew ques- tion was defined by Mir. Haynes as follows:
 on-intoxicating fruit juice can be made in the home. Intoxicating wines. home brew and distilled spirits may not be made. Two hundred gal Ions of misunderstanding fruit may be manufactured tax free by the head of a family registering with collector of intrenal revenue.
 "This tax exemption provision has been the source of confusion. The effect of this is not to allow the manu- fracture of POO gallons of intoxicating wine free from registrations of the national prohibition act, but merely to allow the manufacture of POO gal Ions of non-intoxicating fruit juices free of tax"
