Made Much Easier

Little Rock, May 16.-As a result
of favorable publicity and a re-
newal of public confidence the
Road improvement districts of the

dispose OF their bonds. Last week
st. Francis district No. sold $218,-
600 of bonds to NJ. w. Elkins, a
Little Rock broker, at par and $3,-
$50 premium, oqualling almost 1907

DESTROYS
COTTON GIN ON
NORTH PRUE;I
Property of Bertig Brothers
Goes Up In Smoke-Loss
$35, ,0O0.O0-Origin Is Un-
known.
CFrom MONDAYS s DaIlYl

The large cotton gin OF Bertig
Brothers, situated on North pruot
street was burned 20 the ground
Saturday night shortly past nine
O'Clock, the main building Of the
gin being complete loss, valued
at approximately $35,0Q0.o fully
covered by insurance. The storage
rooms nearby were only partially
damaged residential and other
property within the immediate sec
tion escaped serious damage by the
speedy and efficient work Of the
fire department The gin destroyed
was one of the largest in this see
ton. Practically all of the ma
chinery, with the exception of the
boiler and engine, was damaged be-
yond repair.
1t is not definitely known just
how the fire originated. One theory
attributed it to Improperly insulated
electric wires, report stating that
electric sparks had been seen emin-
ating from the region OF the BALD
ing where the flames We're first
discovered Others are of the opin-
ion that theory is erroneous and
that, perhaps, the blaze was caused
~ tramps who had sought shelter
there earlier in the evening Sat-
urday when Il. rain fell. Just prior
ia fGp firc an oIoaft.io e.fprtn rorrod
In support of the theory that Il
tramp perhaps accidentally set fire
to the building, Bill Strong, who re-
sides in "A small house near the site
his residence fronting Highland
street said he saw man running
away from the building just as the
first flash of the flames was dis
%covered HE said Mrs Strong was
sick and he had been to his kitchen
to procure a glass of water for her
and saw man running away from
the building. His attention was at
! traeted to the structure by the light
! Of the flames that had flashed up
| from the cotton lint of the gin. II
! it believed by that source that a
tramp perhaps had struck match
and that the old lint Of the room
accidentally became ignited. 1t is
not believed that anyone purposely
set fire TO the structure.
While the destruction of the gin
| is severe loss to the owners and
the insurance companies carrying the
risk, it fortunately came at time
that the loss will not interfere with
the enterprises operation during
the cotton season in the fall New

ROBBERS make
AN T''T'EMPT
TO LOOT BANK
Battle Follows Efforts Of
Bandits at Fremont
Citizens and Officers
Open Fire on Intruders.

Poplar Bluff, Mo, May 16.-Two
bandits wearing crude masks enter
ed the State Bank of Fremont at
about $50 yesterday morning, or
dered Cashier F. l.. Fogel to halt
and TO face the wall with hands in
the air. After he had taken the
designated position the bandits pro
ceoded to fill a gunny sack with cur
.rency and silver, which they found
IN the cash drawer and in a vault.
After they had cleaned up practical
ly ell the money in the bank, they
thanked Cashier Fogel for acting
nicely" and then walked out the
front door of the bank, apparently
unconcerned.
As the bandits started through the
streets, Fogcl ran to the front door
with his revolver and opened fire
on the robbers. Sheriff j. e. oliver,
who haDrend to be in Fremont at
the time. joined in the battle. The
two bandits returned the fire and
before they had gotten out of
Fremont two score of citizens had
armed and were ready to join the
posse.
Fremont is q town of about 200
inhabitants in Carter county in the
heart of the Ozark region.
The pitched battle in the streets
was reminiscent of the days when
Jesse James and his pals reigned su-
premc over this couptry. No one
was struck during the battle Sher-
iff Oliver said that one of the ban
dts appeared to stagger after one
shot which he fired, and he believes
that the shot struck the man One
of the bandits was about six feet
high and weighed about 200 pounds;
the other one was somewhat smaller
Both were dressed in oyeralls ano
wore false boards, but were moi
masked.
Last night about 100 armed men
On horses and afoot, were securing
the mountains throughout Carter
county in an effort to catch the
bandits. Several hundred caves il
this section will give them many
chances to hide and their capture
will be very difficult.
That the bandits are headed fol
the 'Irish Wilderness of Oregon
county is the belief of officers. Z
circle has been formed by Officers
aud they are drawing in the net
According to reports last night
the loot will not run to more thar
$2,50O, all of which is insurcd.

to the whole problem from prac-
tical point of view, beginning with
the following two outstanding facts:
"Thc first is that Russia is bank
rupt She has no productivity; her
factories and mines, even where
founded on Russian raw material
ana repairs, are producing but from
two to 25 per cent: her railways
are transporting less than seven per
cent of their pre-War capacity, her
agricultural production is below her
own needs instead of the great nor
NAL surplus, she has eaten up her
entire fat and for long time has
nothing to exchange for the services
of our workmen or the savings of
our investors. Therefore, if we
would supply work, capital and
talent to the reconstruction OF pro-
uutllNllS III IkuSSld, 'lHtg must bS
given upon credit or charity.
Second, when our people are
called upon to place their savings in
such investments, they will be likely
to ask for security for repayment
and evidence that there will be a
return to productivity in order that
payment may be made. We arrive
at one at the primary consideration
of these close essentials that viii
make productivity possible and that
will give security to investment"
Mr.. Hoover said the Russian peo-
pie are suffering chiefly from the
destruction of their economic system
by the Soviets.
Even outside the drought -strick-
en- area the Russian people are
slowly dying" he continued. They
are being destroyed from inside OF
Russia, not outside For they die
from the destruction Of productivity
The people are sick with war and
terror; their hope OF relief is il
evolution, not in revolution. To-day
the social pendulum is swinging
hack. Communism has been 'aban
doned for crossbreed of iudivid
uaIism and milder but equally un'
workable forms of socialism"
