It was most splendid program and a credit to that live and active bunch of young people. The house was packed to it's capacity with local young people, the young peoples societies from the other churches in town attending. Such large numb CT of young people together in this work was a real inspiration to all who attended. The Ashdown League have received and have accepted an invitation to visit Foreman next Sun night and to conduct program at tha3 place.

CLOSE Gf TARIFF
 DEBATE IN SIGHT
Rapid Progress Expected to Follow Disposal of Wool Schedule-T0
 Vote By August l..

Washington, July 30.-With cOnsid- eration of the wool schedule nearly complete, the Senate is expected to make more rapid progress in the tariff debate this week. The Dem0crats re gard the wool schedule as the last one of major importance, and from now on say they will offer only per functory opposition to the various du . .ies. They profess willingness to en- ter into an agreement for final vote on or about August 15
 If the Senate passes the tariff bill at that time, conferees of the House and Senate will require until about September 15 before they are able to present their conference report. An other week or two will be required to obtain the approval of the conference report iii the houses. If there is no hitch in this program which easily might be upset by disagreements be- tween Senate and House conferees, Congress may be able to adjourn ear l ly in October.
 Final adjournment of the season at an early date in October would mean the sidetracking of ship subsidy legis- lation until next session, in all proba- bility. It would easily be possible to enact a soldiers bonus bill into law during the months period while the tariff is in conference.
 Present Situation.
 As the situation now stands, the tariff bill will be ready to be sent to conference about the time the House returns to work August 15.
 Propriety of the activity of the Western senators with large fnanci- al interests in the wool-growing in- dustry in behalf of the high duties on wool contained in the pending tariff bill has become an issue not only in the discussion in the Senate, but also in the election campaign.
 An investigation of the financial con- nections of senators with the wool growing industry, as provided by the resolution introduced yesterday by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, has Ibecn brought forward in a manner that will cause it to continue to De a ques- tion widely discussed.

Winthrop Had Barbecue
 and Ball Game Saturday

The editor of the News had the pleasure of attending the barbecue at Winthrop Saturday. We arrived too late for the dinner, but in time to see the ball game between Winthrop and Foreman, in which Foreman was the winner by score of II to z. The game was full of pap and interest. A large crowd from all over the county was in attendance, and speaking of candidates, We believe they were all there to answer to the roll call.
 We made the trip in our tin Lizzy by the way of Oak Hill and Allene, and found the crop prospects good. The cotton crop in that section seems to be above the average and still bloom ing, indicating that Little River coun- ty will be at the count with a large crop of cotton. In many instances We found that corn needed rain, but con- sidering everything it is doing well.
 We returned by the way of Fore man and on this road the crops are rain very badly. The principal crop from Winthrop to Foreman this year was cantaloupes. It is understood that the price on cantaloupes were not very good this year.
 We reached Foreman in time to spend some time in that hustling city, and to shake hands with our many friends there. After witnessing a good all round fist fight between two prominent citizens of that place, we returned hCme, calling it an afternoon well spent.

Korean Talked.

The preaching hour at the Methodist church Sunday morning was turned over to Miss Buie, returned mission ary from Korea, and MT. Yum, native of that country who returned with her for the purpose of entering an American college and receiving an English education. He speaks no English and has been in this country but a few days. Miss Buie acted as interpreter. He spoke very rapidly for few minutes and would pause while Miss Buie repeated what he had said. He showed a rare intellect. He gave some of his first impressions on ths country, gave brief history of Korea and it's religions, then the in troduction of Christianity and it's sub- sequent spread to all parts of that country.

RIVER TAKES TOLL: BOY AND GIRL DROWNED
 WHILE I'M BATHING
Ray Howard of Sevier County Drown. ed Sunday; Miss Norma Rich. ardSOn of TeXarkana Drown.
 ed Monday.

Miss Norma Richardson, aged 21 years, resident of Texarkana, was drowned in Little River, under the steel bridge Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The yody was not found until o'clock Tuesday morning.
 Miss Richardson, accompanied by her brother, his wife and a young boy probably 16 years of age, had gone to the river for an outing, and the young lady had entered the water On the shoal. above the bridge and was wad- ing down stream about midway the point where the Cossatot empties into Little River when she struck water : ever her head, the current carrying her down stream sinking a few yards above the upper edge of the bridge.
 J. W. Lang, who operates a refresh ment stand near the river heard the cries for help and rushed to the river but the young lady had gone down her last time. Efforts were immediately made to rescue the body, but only a very few people were at the river at that time. As soon as word could reach Wilton and Ashdown men rush ed to the scene of the tragedy and the search began which lasted all through the night and up until o'clock Tues day morning when the body was found When discovered the body was slowly floating down stream some 75 yards from the place where it was last seen in the death struggle. It is thought that the body was moved from the spot from which it lay all night by stirring water or probably a hook from the lines which were being used to fish for the body started it down stream.
 The body of Miss Richardson was taken to Texarkana soon after it had been taken from the water, where the funeral will be held. Her family is composed of mother, five brothers and two sisters.

dragged and the body recovered in about forty minutes. A doctor was present and used every effort to re- store him. A younger brother of the drowned youth was present. The body was carried to him home by Ashdown parties who were at the river at the time. The tragedy threw shadow over the great crowd gathered at the river.
 i, These are the fourth and fifth vic ttims claimed by the river at this place Min the past few years.
 Should Have Danger Marks.
 People agree that some steps should be taken to place danger signs at this popular bathing place warning bath CTS of the danger spots beyond which it is not safe to go. Thousands of people are bathing at this place every summer, hundreds of them coming as far away as Texarkana, people not familiar with the river, young boys and girls, every class of bathers. The river is ever ready to reach and claim a victim in an unwary moment, and as the years pass the list of victims increase. The coming of the high ways to this place is going to see the throngs increase from the very farth- est places. We would not see this delightful and accessible spot aban- doned as a bathing place for it will always be that, but it should be made safe so far as is humanly possible. Otherwise it must and will continue to take toll of life and bring tragic sor- row to homes.

 NEAR GUERNSEY
Riddles Body With Bullets After Taking Him From Train-Slay-
 CTS Not Identified.

Hope, July 28.-John West, negro, aged about 50, was shot to death by six or eight unidentified men near Guernsey, five miles sou3h of Hope, about o'clock this afternoon. While it is the general belief that the negro was lynched, officers who investigat- ed say the black probably was shot after he flourshed pistol and threat ened the men who intended only to whip him.
 West and white man, Andrew Worthing, both employed by the Kaw Paving Company, engaged in street paving work here, staged a fight this morning. Worthing is said to have taken exceptions to statement by the negro that "he wss as good as any white man. West struck Worthing with a sledge hammer, but the white man was not dangerously injured.
 Worthing and West were arrested and taken before the mayor, who fined them both for disturbing the peace. Later West was advised to leave town He bought ticket for Texarkana, and boarded Missouri Pacific train No. 35 at 1:45 D. m.
 Crowd Alights From Train.
 At coroner's inquest soon after the killing. witnesses said that when the train reached Guernsey the negro and a crowd of white men alighted. They said they noticed nothing unusual un- til few minutes later when they heard the reports of several shots. The witnesses said they went to a grove about 100 yards from the rail- road track and found the negro's body riddled with bullets. The black was clutching .3S caliber revolver in his left hand. One shot recently had been fired, it was said.
 Littla, ,i1 Bh here concerning the na DHe established reputation for impudencse since coming here a. bout two Weeks ago, officers say. He was short in stature, and weighed about 165 pounds. He was noticeable in that he wore his beard in goattee fashion. His body is being held here
 Worthing also has been here but 6 short time. He was a foreman of 8 paving gang. Both Worthing ant West are said to have come from Kansas.

END OF BY. STRIKE DE-
 cLhRED ALREADY AGREED
Formal Ratification of Peace Plans Said to Be Assured-1S Partial
 Victory.

Chicago, July 30.-Peace terms al- ready have been agreed to in the countrywide railway strike, and for mal ratification has been assured through President Harding's efforts, it was asserted tonight by a man in close official touch with the situation.
 All that now remains before the strike, which has cost the workers upward of $4O,OOO,OOO in wages, pass es into history, it was asserted, is the formal endorsement of the terms of settlement by the railway executives meeting in New York, and the strike leaders, who will convene in Chicago at the some hour.
 "The acceptance of President Hard mg's proposal was a foregone conclu- sion before T. Dewitt Cuyler issued the call for the meeting of the rail executives in New York and Bert M Jewell, head of the striking shopmen summoned a similar meeting of union chiefs for the same date," declared this man, who has been in closest touch with the entire situation. Issues Back to Board.
 The rail executives finally will de eide to yield for the good of the country, sweeping aside the seniori- ty issue" he continued, but their ges- ture will give little consolation to the men who walked out July l, for be- sides their losses in pay they will lose some of their seniority rights to the men who remained at work, see theil original grievances returned to the railroad board for rehearing, and the question of national adjustment board and certain other points taken up by congress.
 "The exact terms probably will not be known until after Tuesdays meet ings, out whatever they are, the ob- jecttions of minority on either side will not be sufficiently strong 70 ob. struct or prevent their ratification by both sides. The seniority issue has been raised since the beginning of the strike, it must be remembered, and il is not as great a stumbling block as it ;.as seemed at times. When the time comes it will be disposed of with jus tice to all and to the satisfaction o1 the great majority of workers"
 Union Chiefs Confident.
 Withe leaders of the striking rail. way shopmen hurrying here for Tues. days conference on President Hard. ing's peace plan, union leaders tonight also expressed strong hopes that this week will see the end of the walkou, which began July 1.
 Bert M. Jewell head of the shoI crafts union, refused to comment or statements made by railway cxecu tives that the question of restoration of seniority rights to the shOpme. may prevent settlement. Other strike lead CTS, however, declared that when the men go back to work they will regain their former status.
 From the first, union leaders have maintained that the seniority question had been dragged into the dispute by the carriers purely as an issue to de- lay negotiations on the original griev- ances, wages, working rules and out- side contracting by the carriers.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. MulsifIed
coeoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for sbampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in cup or glass
with little warm water, then mois-
ten your hair with water and rub it
in. 1t will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and re-
moves every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluff
~ and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months. Be sure your drug
gist gives you Mulsifled.-( Adver-

Rain PREVENTS
SPRING PLANTING
sowing i'm Northern Illinois Delay
ed and Farmers Seriously
Concerned.

According to the crop report just
issued by the freight traffic depart
ment of the Rock Island Lines, rain
in northern Illinois has been very
beneficial to winter wheat and rye,
hut has delayed the preparation of
soil for other crops.
Winter wheat is in excellent con-
d;tion. estimated at SO per cent of
last year. Sowing of oats contin-
mes. but little progress is made ana
the DELAYS have caused decrease
in the acreage Of approximately %
ner cent. The same condition has
aIso affected the sowing of spring
wheat and rye, and acreage of these
erops will be cut about Is per cent.
Little progress has been made in
preparing soil for corn crop, but
present indications are that the
acreage will be increased, due to
decreased acreage of small grains.
THE unusual delay in field work is
the disappointing feature of the
spring situation. and is causing
farmers serious concern. Fruit
crop looks promising.
In central Illinois high water
and heavy rains have delayed farm
ers in their preparations. Winter
wheat has been considerably dam
aged on account of the flood. Fruit
Of all kinds is in good condition
In southern Iowa wet weather
has retarded field work, especially
in the lowlands, but with a few
DAYS of hot. dry weather this work
will be well under way. Cabbage
in observation-disclosures district being
planted and acreage will be large.
Ground is being prepared for melon
and sweet potato planting.
Last year practically all oats
and wheat were sown before April
/. but this season but very little
seeding has been done and indica-
tons are that this work will not
be completed for another week. ALI
field work has been delayed from
two to four weeks.
In central and western Iowa
weather conditions continue cold
and wet, and there was a heavy
frost April II and Is. Farmers are
blowing and have sown considera-
Bile oats. Fruit has been beneficial
