Webber of Can ada addressed the American Legion and guests at Legion Hall last night on Americanism and the men, ace of Socialism and Bolshevism. The hall was crowded. Sergeant Webber served in the World war as a member of the battalion known as "The La dies From He'll" from Canada. The speaker told his audience that some people were under the impression that Arkansas and Texas are 100 per cent American" but that this is a mistake, as he has found Reds everywhere he has gone, including Texarkana, and had even been de- nounced by some of the gentry since his arrival here. He will continue his street lectures here until Friday, when he will leave for Dallas and other Texas points.

 Population Shows Hike

Little Rock, Dec 21.-Although the Arkansas parole commission granted A paroles during November, the population at the penitentiary on De- cember l was 1,254 and 460 greater than on December 1, 1920, according to the November population report just issued. Of the 24 paroles grant ed during the month, the report shows 19 were to white prisoners and five to negroes.
 It was announced today that Gov ernor McRae will issue no Christ mas pardons. It will be the first time in many years that the issu- ance of pardons to convicts consid- cred deserving of clemency have not received pardons on Christmas day.
 Thus far Governor McRae, in al- most 9 years tenure of office, has pardoned but two persons-one a woman soon to become mother and the other a man who had served his sentence and was pardoned merely that his citizenship might be restored.

HUMBER 3.
RUSSIA WILL GET
 S20,000, 0,00O GIFT
cape Responsibility for Condi- tions in Russia,

Washington, Dec. 20.-The Senate late today passed the House bill ap- propriating $2OO00,0O0 for the relief of the starving and distressed" in Russia, with two amendments, ono appropriating $5O0,000 to be used for the hospitalization of former service men in Arizona, and the other setting aside $100,000 for the use of the gov ernment in relieving unemployment.
 The United States government can- not escape responsibility fer present conditions in Russia, Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, said during dis cussion of the measure. He urged change in the attitude of the Amertcan government toward Russia, adding that in his opinion the de facto gov ernment ought to be recognized
 The present government in Russia, the senator said, has stood four years, and has demonstrated that it can stand against the situation And l regard Lenine," he continued, "as one of the two or three great intelects uncovered by the war. I may say, too, that the government there is better than the czar's government. It has potentiali- ties and possibilities. If I had my way I'd recognize that government" :"
 With respect to the responsibilities which he said this country bears, Sen ator Borah said the government, "by net raising it's voice has cOnnived" against Russia at times when she most needed friends, He said the allies used an "undefensible, cruel, brutal and uncomfortable policy toward Rus sia," after sending military expedi- tions into Russia to "harrass thenl."
 A question of the constitutionality of the measure was injected by Sen- ators Dial of South Carolina and Wat son of Georgia, Democrats, who de- clared that Congress was turning tine government into an international almshouse and world Santa Claus Mr Dial sought to amend the measure to appropriate $1O,0O0,OO0 instead of $20,OO0,O ,O0O but the motion was re- jected.

News Gets Farm Bureau
 Certificate of Honor

The News has received from the Ar kansas Farm Bureau Federation headquarters at Little Rock a cer- tifcate of honor for services render ed in the cotton pool campaign and it's editors have been selected as hon. orary members in the organization.
 The letter follows: Little Rock, Ark, Dec 21, 1921. Brother Editor:
 You will find herewith little to- ken of the appreciation which the CTS Cooperative Association and the Farm Bureau have for your work in helping to form the great 100000 bale Arkansas cotton pool
 Under separate cover MT. H. T. Brown, manager of the temporary cotton organization, will send you a window card, acknowledging your honorary membership in the organiza- tion, and we hope that you will dis play this card conspicuously to the end that the farmers of your con- munity may know that you are for them
 Tt is indeed great pleasure for us to inform you of the fact that you have been selected for honorary mem- bership as we feel that there is no class of people who better understand the needs of cooperative cotton mar keting than do the editors. It is esti- mated conservatively that the news papers of Arkansas have published 10000 columns of information about the pooling plan of the Farm Bureau and measured in dollars and cents this would probably amount to about $1OO,OOO.
 Believe us, the cotton association and the Farm Bureau sincerely recog- nize the importance of this contribu- tion.
 Very truly yours,
 Robin Hood,
 Director of Information
