FAMILY FARMS"

Finis K Senor. who is manager of the Chamber of Commerce at Jefier- son, has succeeded, with the aid of the County CommiSs oners' Court and the Marion County Farmers Association, in setting on foot n scheme for the dividing up of farms into small tracts of one hundred acres and less for al lotment at moderate prices to farmer applicants on long time credit. Tho tracts are known aS family farms The idea is to turn the land over to men who will agree to farm | accord ing to the most approved methods, It is intended to group the owners so as to make agreeable neighhor- hoods and community improvements poss ble.
 The Jefferson Chamber of Com merce takes the position that small farms well farmed are better than plantations yet out to ind fferent and dissa tisfied tenants. The business men of that section are going to a great

LIFTING UP \ STANDARD
Outline of Sermon Preached by Rev. J. \. Sage at the Methodist Church in Prescott Sunday eve ming October 9, 1921.)

Text. Isa. 62 10: Life up stand ard for the people,
 The wrold cannot get along without standards We must have standards of time; standards of measurements; standards of weights. In the business world we must have standards of val ue and of quality. In the educational world ye must have standards by which the classification of schools of their work may be judged. It is by the application of these standards to conditions in our own state that we have made the humiliating discovery that Arkansas stands next to the foot of the class in the order of education al progress. Since this necessity for standards exists in every realm of life it is not strange that God has given to uS the great fundamental standards which are to govern the ligion
 The call of the text k the Hall of God to Il N ministers and to his church to lift up this standard for the people. II K well to observe that this K not call to create standard but simply to lift it up God has not committed to men the important work of fixing the standards hy which the moral con duct of their fellow men shall be governed. He himself has fixed these standards and revealed them to Us in hsi word The duty of the church and the ministry k to hold them up. or declare them 10 the world.
 This call of God is all the more imperative today because there has been general letting down of moral standards among the people within the past few years. Without question this is largely due to the influences of the world war. War is always demorali2ing and this tendency was intensified hy the prevailing notion | that the men who donned the uni forms of soldiers mad enlisted in the service of their country were there by released from all obligation to ob- Srcve the marol law Too many peo- pie thought it was alright for a sol dier to swear, lie, steal get drunk, commit adEltery or do whatever he 1 felt inclined to do This letting down of moral standards could not fat to produce bad results not only
 Il the lives of the soldiers but also in the lives of multtudes of others.
 The church of God is called upon today to lift up the standard of obe dienee to law-to the laws of the country and the laws of God. Too many people think if matter of no consequence to violate law. This has been demonstrated right here n Pres colt i'll recent weeks by fragrant and widespread violation of the law against gambling, and by almost con tinuouS violations of the prohibition laws of the state and nation

PLANES SEARCH FOR

Believed to Be Supplying
Liquor off Cape May.

Special Despatch TO THE New YoRK HERALD.
CAPE MAY, N. j., July IA. - Several
scout planes left the air station here to-
day to search for the steamship which,
1t is believed. has been supplying liquor
to fishing smacks several miles off the
coast A Government vessel left Cape
May this morning to run off to the
North End light vessel, which lies twen-
ty-two miles off. in an effort to find the
mysterious stranger" which has given
rise to tales of pirate ship. Pilots be-
lieve that the fact that the light vessel
is not equipped with wireless explains
why the mysterious stranger has been
hanging around for days.
The unusual action of the strange ship
on Monday night, when 1t crossed the
bows Of a steamship bound for Boston,
revived the pirate scare. The belief that
it is a bootlegging vessel is held by most
pilots.

Answering these charges. FREDERICK
Mooney asserted that mine operators
disregarded both laws or the State and
of the United States and had refused to
employ union men in face of statute
which required that there be no discrinii-
nation between organized and unorgan-
izei workers.
A sample contradiction in the testi-
mony is shown on the question OF what
mine workers earn year. the operators
saving that some miners made as hign
as $1,000 month. -.
''If that is the case think VA
sign from the Senate and gre - n
the mines" said Senator Shortrfdse
who once was miner In the Caiitornia
gold fields
Mr. Mooney declared that the highest
average ray was only little over $1,000
a year.
Mr.. Mooney declared that the persons
brought in by the State to enforce mar
tial law were made up of lawless eie-
ment. some men under indictment, some
ex-convicts, others under bonds.
Col. Vinson freely admitted they did
not employ union men If they knew
it." and that they discharged union men
in their employ If they made any at
tempt whatever TO encourage the union
movement.
There was lot of testimony by labor
men to show how miners had been dis-
charged merely for belonging to union:
One negro witness. Frank Ingram, said
he had been arrested wrongfuliy, taken
from Jail and beaten and lett TOT oeao
FOR No other reason than that he be-
longed to a union. He is now employed
by the United Mine Workers.
The hearing developed that the United
Mine Workers are determined to union
ize the West Virginia coal fields. tnat
they are against enforcement OF martial
law that they have clashed constantly
with the Governor, and they have paid
the fares OF strikebreakers to leave.
The testimony will be continued to-
morrow.

Unionizing the Mines Is Ap-

Year of Bloodshed.
Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., July IA.
The question of whether union labor
shall or shall not operate the coal mines
In five counties in West Virginia ad-
jacent to the Kentucky border is the
root of the trouble which has cost many
lives. much property and kept the Mingo
coal fields in virtual civil warfare for
more than year, according to testi-
mony given to-day before the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
That was admitted by representatives
of the operators and of the United Mine
Workers OF America. who appeared to-
day to enable the subcommittee. headed
by Senator Kenyon (Iowa), to decide
whether the inquiry shall be pursued in
the zone of actual conflict While the
committee reached no determination, in
dications are for continuation OF the
hearing at Williamson, w. Va. later in
the summer. The preliminary hearing
may be completed tomorrow.
Fred Mooney. secretary and treas
urer of the United Mine Workers in
West Virginia. was the principal wit
ness for the labor men. Mel Burkin-
shaw appeared as the unions counsel
and Col. r.. Taylor Vinson of Hunting
ton. w. Va, made the opening state
ment in behalf of the operators. At
torneys. labor representatives. mine op-
orators, State officials and citizens also
were on hand. among them being sid
Hatfield. formerly chief of police of
Matteawan. a noted participant in one
of the earlier battles.
Beyond agreeing as to the primary
cause of the disorders there was almost
no material point of fact upon which
.he evidence agreed. While the con-
tinued disorder. repeated shootings and
other acts of violence could not be de-
MED, each side sought to fasten the
blame on the other. The operators said
the mine workers imported "gun men"
to prevent nonunion labor from work
ing and the labor men insisted that the
"gun men" We're imported by the mine
operators.
Both sides seemed anxious to have the
committee visit the scene Of action.
Before this investigation is COM
ple.ed," said Col. Taylor. ut will involve
the probe of twenty-seven murders, at
least one hundred cases of assault. other
cases of personal violence, numberless
cases Of personal Whence, numberless
cases of insult, intimidation, threats and
abuse, numerous instances of the use of
explosives and incendiary fires to destroy
property as well as thorough under
standing Of the methods and policies Of
the United Mine Workers Of America"
He insisted that until the labor organ
ization began its operations for unioniz-
ing the Mingo coal field, strikes and vio-
lence had been unknown for twenty
years, contentment and industry having
"abounded."
