THREE BRIDGES Om
 eCTToE BELT BURN
Five Others Between TeXarkana and Stamps Are Fired
 IncendiariSm Suspected.

Texarkana, Aug. 31.-Three trestles on the Cotton Belt railroad, between Mckinney switch and Garland, were destroyed by fire at about o'clok this morning and five others were fir ed, but did not burn
 Flames broke out on the seven bridges almost simultaneously short ly after the last passenger train of the day had gone north from this city Because of their isolated positions it was impossible to check or eXtinguish the fires The distance between Tex arkana and Stamps is 34 miles.
 Cotton Belt officials today said that they were convinced that the fires were of incendiary origin as it would have been almost impossible for the seven structures to blaze up at the same time with no apparent cause. They said also that the express pur- pose of the crimes was to delay traffic.
 InI nIcatigation Is Begun.
 An official investigation of the burn .ng of the bridges has been begun by railway officials assisted by Miller and Lafayette county officers.
 The longest of the trestles destroy ed is said to have been about 1000 feet while the shortest was 200 feet, the estimated value of all being $3o,- 900.
 A track walker is said to have re- ported seeing some of the trestles fir ed but the alleged incendiary fired upon him, he told officers, and he left to give the alarm.
 The south bound passenger train was six hours late into TeXarhana on account of detouring via Stamps and Hope. A special train will bs made up at this point to depart on the time of the belated passenger. Cotton Belt trains will detour via Hope and Stamps until the destroyed tlestle can be replaced.
 Sheriff John Strange, special agents and others are working on the ease. No arrests had been made tonight.
 Material and laborers were rushed to the scenes of the fires this morn ina and il is thought the bridges will De repaired before noon tomorrow.

ROAD BUYERS CITED TO APPEAR
Railroad Commission Wants Entire
 M., D. X G. Line Operated.

Little Rock, Sept Modification yesterday was sent out to the purchas- CTS of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad by the Arkansas Railroad Commission asking them to appear before the commission Monday, Sep temDer II, to show cause why they should not be required to operate the entire line. The purchasers Friday appeared before the State Board of Railroad Incorporation in behalf Of their petition for charter for the proposed Texarkana, Shawmut and AshdOwn railroad which would oper- at only between Shawmut and Ash down.
 The board postponed the action OF the charter to September Il in order to give residents of the section tra verGad by the road chance to be heard The impression of the board was that granting the charter to operate part of the line would serve as an authorization to junk other parts of the M., D. &, G., notably the section between Hot Springs and Glenwood
 At the request of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Arkansas Railroad Commission last spring held hearings on the petition of the M., D. X G., to junk part of it's line, and after members of the commission had made a trip over the road they recommend ed against junking.
 Later the road was sold by federal court order and part of it was pur- chased by the men proposing to in corporate the Nashville, Shawmut and Ashdown line.
 The Railroad Commissions order is addressed to e. M. Conway and Louis Helbrorl of Texarkana; J. K. Rifel and W. G. Hutton of Little Rock; George H. Bell and J. J. Hill of Nashville; ; H. l. Couch of Pine Bluff; H. l.. To- land of Ashdown, and J. S.. Mcconnell l.. c. Brown and J. H.

Fatty Arbuckle knows better than most people how easy it is in the average life to spill the beans" Time was not so long ago when Fatty was the idol of millions of Ameri- cans, with a fortune and income which it hurried him to spend. In just one night the spilling was done, and Fatty's light went out. This week he sailed for a tour around the world. A year ago thousands would have flocked to the dock to bid him Godspeed. Last week only a handful of friends, a reporter and camera man cared whether he went.

Ashd0Wn Gets Sweet
 Revenge Off Foreman

Foreman with it's crack baseball club came to Ashdown Friday after- noon to duplicate the drubbing they gave the locals a week before It was beyond doubt the big game of the season and several hundred Foreman fans came with the team The old town must have been closed for the day AshdoWn was also out in force, and the largest crowd that probably ever attended a game in this city Hooked to the game. Ashdown won by a score of to in one of the pret- tiest contests of the season. Foreman relied upon Joe Smith with his spit ball to do the hurling, while Ashnown too put her trust in Smith, a left handed twirler. O'Dwyer received for the locals while Byrne and Killi- an did the heavy work for the visit ors. It was a pitchers battle royal. Splitting Smith struck out eight men while lefty Smith retired seven. Only two errors were recorded against each team. Ashdown had shade in the hitting, touching up the splitter for ten safeties. Foreman hit eight times safely. Baughman vas easily the star of the game, hitting three times in four times up and being thrown out at first on the fourth time at bat. Other Ashdown batsmen who tigOred in the hitting were: Loflin, Lewis, O'Dwyer and Tiffin The Fore man men who hit were: Hemphill, | Guest, Moore, Payne, killian and | Tolson. Both teams were made up of stars gathered from home and ! abroad. i

Get out of the habit of calling it the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf. It is now the Graysonia. Nashville and A5hdown Railroad Company. We have seen in various newspapers at least three different names for the road, but Ashdown was in each of them. The name given above hap pens to be the correct one according to an official. It is a name that at least indicates where the road is To- cated The old name meant nothing more than a dream that some day it might tie up with the Memphis, go west to Dallas and then on to the Gulf There is nothing in the new name that will prevent the road from going to all those places, or even to San Francisco, but it is very proper ly named for the towns of it's birth place Ashdown is proud to have a namesake in the shape of a railroad. She will be good to it and nOurish it and help it to be big road, and we hope will be helped by it to be a big town

ADVANTAGE OF FALL OATS
est Feed fer Horses and Mules, Ac-
 cording to Dean Knapp.

Little Rock, Sept. Now is the time when farmers ought to be con- sidering their fall crops, and among these crops great attention should be given to oats. The census shows only about II per cent of the farms Of the state produce oats. The total acreage in 1919 was 173,317. But these figures probably include only oats cut for grain; 13S,3S2 acres of small grain was cut for hay, according to the cen- SIS. very much of which was probably oats. Our own state figures show that in 1921 about 300000 acres were seed cd for the purpose of harvesting gram The state figures show that this acre age yielded P bushels an acre, or about 6,6OO,OOO bushels.
 Oats, next to corn, is the most ex- tensively grown cereal in Amerlca. Best authorities in the country re- gard it as the safest of all feeds for horses and mules it is excellent for dairy cows; it mixes readily With other feeds, especially concentrates and is so used in starting fattenlng cattle and sheep in feed. Where oats of high quality and high yield can be grown. I am very much inclined to be- lieve that the crop is more profitable than corn for the reason that you can gel one additional crop besides the oats on the same land in the same year. Fall seeded cats can be fol- lowed by late corn or COW peas for hay or SOY beans for hay Of course it will not pay to raise oats on thin land any more than it pays to raise corn on thin land.
 It is the habit of many farmers to wait too la,e to seed fall grain. The state experiment station has recently published some results which are very important at this time, and with this preface I desire to put into this and 36 of the annual report Of the state experiment station, which has article a quotation from pages 94, B just been published. I would call particular attention to the dates of planting, both for fall oats and spring oats, given below and also to the va rieties recommended. The production of oats is particularly important in the rice section of this state where feed for work stock and for milch cows is important. I have talked with many rice farmers and l am convinced that those farmers who give attention to the production of oats as a regular feed crop find them practice much more satisfactory than that of devoting all of their land to the production of rice. I think oats are particularly to be recommended for the rice farmer as a feed crop.

For the past two or three years We have been marking time and put Ing c& Hew construction and making needed improvements until things cleared ID. Now that the skies seem to be clearing we should begin to think and to plan for new homes in Ashdown. The man who is renting should think of owning his own home in a substantial town with a future. No fears should be entertained of an investment of that kind. You might have owned your home long ago had you taken that step sooner. You will own it all the sooner if you take that step the coming year. The times are pT9pitious for a look into the future.

NEW YORK, April Jack Demp-
sey, worlds heavyweight champion,
arrived today from the Pacific coast
to join Jack Kearns, his manager,
and party, for a rest before sailing
for Europe on the Aquitania Tuesday.
The champion win leave New York
without any matches definitely in
prospect and with only the haziest of
plans. He says he is anxious to meet
the best Europe can offer, providing
the purse is satisfactory. Mention
ing Carpenter, Joe Beckett, Bombar-
der Wells, or amy one else,' he said
he'd jump at the chance TO take them
on.
Harry Wills. the negro heavy
weight, who is being groomed for a
bout with Dempsey. holds no terrors
for the champion. Dempsey said that
because of some protest against q
mixed match in this country. it
might be best TO hold such a con-
test in Europe, but he added that he
is willing to meet Wills at home.
Dempsey intimated that Kearns was
dickering with English promoters for
such match.
