M. & N. A. SELLS FOR 100000
Efforts VII Be Made to Have Road
In Operation by May Is.

Harrison, Ark, April 10.-The Mis-
souri, G. North Arkansas railroad was
sold on the auction block at 8 o'clock
this afternoon under decree of the
United States district court at Little
Rock, the property. being struck off to
representatives of the Missouri &
North Arkansas Railway company, a
new corporation formed for the pur-
pose of taking over the property for
the former bondholders.
The next few days are expected to
be very eventful in developments con-
cerning the plans for the operation of
the road. The new corporation must
first meet the requirements of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
order to get hold of the S3,500,000
government loan, which is necessary
to meet outstanding obligations and
especially to pay off the receivers
certificates in order to clear up the
title to the property to give the gov
ernment first lien.
The new corporation is Railway
Company" instead of Railroad Com
pany" in order to distinguish it from
the defunct organization, whose estate
will now be wound up as separate
business proposition.
How much time is necessary to be
employed before the work of rehabil-
itating the line for operation begins
is problematical. The receiver of the
old company, ]. C. Murray, who is
scheduled for manager of the new cor
poration, is hoping for brief work, as
it will take it in order to meet the
expectation or having the road going
by May /. Unless it should start soon
after that date, the strawberry crop
along the line in many places, where
no other transportation is accessible,
will be lost.
Another question that is deeply agi-
tating the minds of many people is
whether or not the former employees,
VINO have been on strike for more
than a year, will be re-employed.
Notwithstanding the road has been
closed down since last July, the union
organizations have been kept intact,
the members being given sufficient
strike benefits to enable them to get
by.
1t has been reported that the execu-
tives of the national organizations
will not indorse the acceptance of the
wage cut, but would not object to the
men going back to work if they should
see it to their interest to do so. The
fact, however, that no effort is being
made in that direction leads to the
conclusion that the Brotherhood viii
not seek to go back as body
There will be in the neighborhood OF
700 people employed IN the operation
and maintenance Of the road when il
opens again.

FOURTH WEEK OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONTEST

This week was little more fav)r-
able than the third week but Barry
county lost over 5000 credits because
some of the Glasses did not report.
Mr.. Becker said that Barry county
stood a good chance to win if all
classes had reported each week. This
was impossible because of the rain
and mud so that most of the rural
Sunday schools did not meet at all.
Those promoting the contest could not
see the teachers of adult classes.
Several classes would have reported
if they had been supplied with the
necessary literature and information.
Others were sent literature but have
never made reports. The report cards
are very easily filled out and require
only a few seconds of time. By
studying the leaflets and circular let
ter, which were sent with the report
cards, for a few minutes, the general
principles of the contest would have
become clear. Therefore, it was not
necessary that each teacher should be
visited.
April 9 is the last day of the con-
test. Methods that were used during
the contest to increase membership
and efficiency may be used as long as
practical. Glasses which are really
putting forth an effort to increase
membership and efficiency and feel
that they have accomplished little or
nothing should write to their De-
nominational Sunday School Board
for the latest methods. Glasses that
were benefited are requested to write
Mr.. L. N. Meador, Cassville, of the
plan they used in order that it may
be passed on to those who were less
fortunate.
The credits for the week are:
Franklin, 22,259; Barry, 1884.
