ORGANIZE COUNTY
 FOR ACREAGE CUT
PLANS BY MASS MEETING
School Districts to Hold Meetings Next Saturday and County Meet
 ing February ).

With school districts as units, Faulkner county will be organized to enforce the reduction of the cotton acreage in 1921. The mass meeting
 of farmers and business men at the
 courthouse Friday afternoon directed
 that each school district in the county
 hold it's separate meeting on Satur-
 day, January 20, and to select three
 delegates to the county meeting the following Saturday, February } With about 100 school districts in the coun- ty, the February } meeting will be at tended by close to 300 delegates and will thoroughly represent the entire county.
 Actual methods by which the reduc- tion of acreage will be made uniform on all farms, large and small, will be devised by the general county meeting, in conformity with the Memphis con- vention plan. The Memphis plan calls for not more than one third of all the land actually under cultivation, to be planted to cotton. It will be the duty of the county meeting through it's in each school district to see that all farms reduce. What ever plans are adopted will be sup ported by bankers and business men, who will also be pledged to withhold credits from farmers no conforming to the scheme of reduction.
 The mass meeting at the courthouse Friday was one of the most unani- nous ever held here. After the mas terly address by Dean Bradford Knapp and the talk by V. D. Hill, cashier of the Faulkner County Bank X Trust Company, on the Memphis convention plan, the meeting was thrown open to farmers. Several spoke their view of the situation created by the collapse of the cotton and the decision to hold the school district meetings followed. While no apprehension is felt that in dividual farmers will refuse to reduce their acreage, the meeting provided safeguards against such a practice. The final plan of organization will in- clude the appointment of commit tee in each school district to make sure that all acreage is reduced un- iformly, or that the maximum is not overstepped.

TO HELP COTTON GROWERS.

Asia are In pressing need of cotton

have lands, forests, mines and mills,
and an Industrious population. and a
great basis OF credit can be arranged
whereby the people Of these countries

investigation brings to light th2
fact that American mills; particular
ly in the north, have only from 10 TO
20 per cent. Of the supply Of raw cot
ton on hand that they had on hand at
tho same time last year. In addition
to this, the amount of raw cotton with
foreign mills is startlingly short. As

CANADA UNDER ICE
Professor Asserts II Was Covered a
Mile Deep Forty Thousand
Years Ago.

Prof. A. F. Coleman Of the faculty
of applied science and engineering OF
the University of Toronto, whose
hobby is studying the ice age, and who
has toured many countries In his re-
search work, believes the ice age was
present In Canada about 10000 years
ago. AS a result of his inspection
of the rock and mountains Of the ter
ritory of Gaspe, In eastern Canada
where there are valuable hshinI
grounds, he. had been convinced thai
the ice which has covered that part OF
Canada to a depth of about a mile
never passed over that portion Of east,
ern Canada.
The Shick-Shock mountains, which
are really a continuation of the Appa
lachian range. are the backbone Of
Gaspe. and the highest land of eastern
Canada. Professor Colep,an did find
however, that great glacial shee
had filed the Gulf of the st. Law

front range of the Rocky mountain
has been pushed seven miles into tn

Very Beautiful.

Very beautiful is this idea of God
giving us something TO look at in or
der to keep our faith steady. He
knows that we need pictdres and signs
and themes He has well supplied.
We might have forgotten the covenant,
but we cannot fail to see the rainbow;
every child sees it and exclaims at it
with joy. And if you tell the child
the meaning which God put into it, the
bow becomes still more beautiful.
And so with all other things God has
given us as signs and tokens; the sa-
cred book, the Bible; the water Of
Baptism; the bread and wine Of the
Sacrament, the blessed Sabbath, and
the House of Prayer; all these have
deeper meanings than are written in
their names. Search for those mean
ings, keep them, and you will be rich.
