FIRE AT HUTTIC
CAUSES A LOSS
OF 100000

HuttlS, June IA loss eSllnlate ell
at more than $1,000,000 was sus-
tanned vest erday by the Frost-John
son Lumber Company of New Or
leans when its two big lumber mills
were destroyed by fire. The blaze
originated in the kilns, which were
overheated. shortly after l O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Within five
minutes the flames had spread over
practically the entire plant.
Besides the two sawmills, both
OF which are OF large capacity.
two drying sheds, the fuel house,
20,00O.000 feet of cut lumber and
the trans were destroyed and the
planning mill was badly damaged The
plant covered an area of approx
mately rs acres, the daily capacity
of which was 100000 feet.
When he fire broke out, all en-
ployes of the company, numbering
more than 700 men, were put to
work fighting the flames The COM
pany had its own waterworks sys-
TEN. but the pressure was made
quate. Dynamite was used but
this did not check the flames.
Sparks from the burning plant
flew in all directions, and the entire
town was endangered Several resi-
dences caught fire, but the flames
We're eXtingushed before serious
damage resulted.
The flames rapidly ate their way
through the buildings and leaped
to the huge stacks of lumber. A
high wind assisted them in spread
ing, and greatly handicapped the
fire fighters.
At midnight the flames still were
visible for miles. They We're leap
ing 40 or 80 feet into the air. 1t
is probable the fire will not be ex-
tinguished for several days.
Several directors of the Frost
Johnson Lumber Company who
were attending Il meeting at ST.
Louis. left early last night on a
special train for Huttig. They were
expected to reach here before noon
today.
The company owns more than co.
600 acres of timber lands in this
section, and il is considered prob
able the plant will be rebuilt as
soon as possible. The plant was
established about Is years ago,
and was one of the largest in
southern Arkansas.
The heat from the burning plant
was intense, and it was impossible
TO stand within svera hundred
feet of the two mills. Hundreds of
people We're attracted to the scene.
A large crowd from FL Dorado, about
80 mills northeast of Huttig, came
here in automobiles late yesterday
afternoon.
Ii was impossible last night to
learn the amount OF insurance car
ried by the owners of the plant
II is believed however, that the
loss to the company will not be
more than one-half.

Judging from comments heard on

The people of Paragould are just be-
ginning to realize that "a really not

at three o'clock. at the First Bap-
tist+ church. Dr. Tapy spoke on
The Boy and His Gang He said,
in part:
IF woman is the eternal ques-
tion. then the boy is the eternal
problem. A real boy is member
Of the gang Most of the litera-
tnre about boys neglects the gang.
Cain was not a member of the
gang: so he went to the bad.
Boys have gangs; girls have
sets There is difference between
the psychology of the gang and the
set. The boys gang is democratic
it organizes. and has leader. The
girls set is exclusive, it does not
! organize, and has no leader You
can horn in to the gang; you must
the set. Boys fight; girls snuh
each other After the fight boys
forgive; girls do not. When q
class Of boys and girls is given a
novel situation the boys will say
I'm going to try that The girls
may say, How funny that is
There are three reasons why
boys must have gangs. First, be-
cause they are boys and not girls
Second. because the life of the child
in way is an epitome of the life
Of the race Children creep, climb
dig caves. climb trees. fish. build
fires in the woods just as primi-
tive man came up through these
experiences. Third. boys respond
to the stimulus of their fellows The
Germans fought in mass formation
to secure morale; so the boy will
pass the school house ON Saturday
alone without molesting it: but in
a crowd lie will SNOWFALL the house
without knowing why he does it.
'fhere are activities peculiar to
the gang. In the gang boys will
tease. torment, plague. and torture
They tease the Chinaman. the pol
liceman girls. and the teacher, be-
cause these do not belong TO their
class Thereby they show LOYALTY
to their own group This loyalty is
Il virtue and should be educated.
The cure for tormenting consists in
teaching boys to be loyal to larg-
er group. Civilization is the story
OF mans loyalty to an ever enlarg-
ing group Hatred toward other
nations means narrow patriotism
