Progress in Sahara.

The limits of the great arid wastes
Of the Sahara desert are slowly being
narrowed by the invasion of windmills
and mOtOrcars. The oases are being
linked together by good motor high
ways and the sinking Of wells is great
ly increasing the tillable area. The
soil is fertile and. wherever water can
be obtained, tropical fruits, milIet and
other cereals may be raised.
A trans-Saharian railroad has been
proposed by the French government,
but there are many technical problems
to be solved in the construction Of such
a line. The desirability and value Of a
rail connection across the desert be-
tween southern Algeria on the north
and western French Africa on the
south Is obvious.

Friends" said Mr. Turkey Gobber
and relatives. / have yet another
speech to make. In fact, when the
fine time Of the year draws near
Thanksgiving day like to talk
like to strut. like to tell the friends
and the cousins all about ourselves.
Now, as l was saying the other
day. we are very favored family
People honor us, and 1t is right
that they should,
Now they admire us when they
nave us for Thanksgiving dinner. AS
/ said, only the other day, they don't t
bother to admire others in the same
way. They never say how magnif-
cent family the pig family is as they
eat their breakfast. No, they never
do that with the pig family, and stop
slipping their morning coffee to address
piece Of bacon by saying:
Look at that magnificent pig =
Not bit OF it.
yes, they take time over the tur-
key and they praise the turkey, and
they have as the main food Of one OF
the very important days of the year
the turkey and his family.
For days and days and weeks be-
fore Thanksgiving day we are given
more and more tempting. delicious food
to fatten us up, and as we're
being fattened we are also enjoying
life so much, so very, very much. We
get delicacies the others do not get,
and we stay at home and enjoy them
The turkey wouldn't miss his autumn
food for anything-not even If at the
end of the time he was to be eaten
himself.
"And for this great time of the year
we save ourselves with such care
Well do remember when we tc )k the
nest in the springtime and filled 1t
with leaves and grass. Then Mrs.
Gobbler hatched the dear precious
eggs and l stood by and gave her a
warning gobble-gobble If danger was
near.
And then when the little ones were
hatched out how very careful we were
to see that during the first four weeks
Of their lives they should not get their
feet wet. If Mother Turkey can get

her children through the first -four
weeks of their lives in good health
then they will be strong ever after
But they must not get their feet wet
during that time. That is where we
are so different from other animals.
"Ah, friends and relatives. life is
very good when we think that people
are so appreciative of the turkey fam.

Il think l will sing a song about it.
So Mr.. Turkey Gobbler gobbed and
kept time strutting, and this was his
song as he called 1t:
It's fine to be a turkey and to gobble
gobble. gobble!
We're I only a duck ia Just wobble,

But I'm turkey. 50 do far more than

''Fine," the other turkeys said.

"Of course" said Mr. Rooster to

"True, very true" said Mrs. White

Little Rock, April LITTLE sur
plus property at Camp Pike has
been sold by the War Department
to the New York Trading Company
of New York City for $338,O00.
Governor McRae, acting in be-
half of a commission of Little Rock
citizens, made an offer last week
0f 100000 for the property. Our
representatives in Congress are UNI
dcrtaking to determine why an offer
Of a greater amocnt than that for
which the properly was sold was
not given consideration.
The property. it is estimated, cost
originally $AO00,0O0 and a liberal
deduction for depreciation would
make its present value not less than
1000, 900.
Governor McRac'a offer did not
contemplate the expenditure of any
Estate fund. Had ID been accepted,
he estimates that he could have
made profit of at least half mill
lion dollars, which would have been
turned over the the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard
The loss of this property will
mean much to the National Guard.
With the profits accruing from the
purchase, it would have been pos
Sible to place the Guard ON a sound
financial footing without one dollar
actual cost to the state.
Il consider it very unfortunate,
not only for the Arkansas National
Guard, but for the War Depart
ment," said Governor McRae. "The
Guard has become the second line
of defense in our national military
establishment and half a million
dollars would have enabled the or
ganization to function in big
way. We cannot understand why a
bona fide offer by the state should
have been turned down summarily
in this fashion,"

NJ. Rcynaud's proposal is an indi-
cation that the hypnotic slogan OF
M. Klotz that The Germans will
pay" which was pronounced on ey-
cry occasion when any question
arose regarding the French budget,
is gradually being forgotten France
is beginning to realize that there
are limitations to the amounts she
can collect
1.-THE French editors of the repa-
rations clauses of the Treaty of
Versailles promised in the Chamber,
in 1919, that Germany would pay
from thirteen to eighteen billion
gold marks a year. Last May, at
London, this sum shrunk to three
billion for this year plus 26 per cent
of Germany expectations. At
Cannes it was proposed to reduce
this to 72O,000,000 gold marks, plus
few hundred millions payments in
goods to France.

precipitated the Elaine insurrection,

present term of the Lee Circuit
Court, Prosecuting Attorney John
T. Miller announced last night He
viii recommend that the cases be
passed until an appeal in other
Elaine cases now before the United
States Supreme Court is acted upon,
he said
Within few hours after the
grand jury was empanneled yester-
day morning, an indictment was re-
turned against Gay CothrOn, charg-
ing first degree murder for the
Killing of J. H. Holub at Gill
March IA. The murder is said to be
| the result of fued of long stand
! ing between the Holub and Cothron
families.
The Phillips county negroes al
ready have faced trial two times for
the crime charged against them, and
each time the death penalty has
been melted out by the jury. The
first trial in Phillips county re-
suited in conviction with the
death sentence, but the cases were
reversed upon an appeal to thi
! Supreme Court because the jury
omitted tho words "of murder in the
first degree in their verdict The
second trial also in Phillips county
resulted in another conviction, and
second appeal was taken, this
| time upon the ground that the Cir
cjit Court had erred in hearing tcs-
! timony on motion which had
| been filed by the defendant 10 quash

tion had been used in drawing the

Cothron Case Not Set
The date of Guy Cothron's trial
has not been set, but it is probable
the hearing will attract largo
number of Lee county residents. The
fued began about six years ago, it
is said when the father of young
Cothron killed relative of J. II.
Holub, following a quarrel.
The Lee Circuit Court convened
yesterday morning with Judge J. NJ.

was cmpanpeled, after which sew
