Hy'NDREDS CHEER WILSON
Campaign to Raise S1,O0O,O6O TOT
 Foundation Opens in N. Y.

Naw York. Jan. 16.-Several nun dred men and women cheered every mention of the name of Woodrow Will son today at the opening here of a campaign for $1,OO0,O00 to establish annual rewards by the Woodrow Wll- son Foundation flor merltorlous ser vice in behalf of democracy, public welfare. liberal thought and peace through justice.'
 Tributes to the former president, his accomplishments and his ideals were spoken by James W. Gerard, for mer ambassador to Germany; Henry Morgenthau, one-time ambassador to Turkey: Mrs Carrie Chapman Cott, Augustus Thomas, Playwright; Franklin D. Roosevelt and others.
 MT. Gerard said MT. Wilson had been stabbed by hatred, envy and ignorance, adding that if he had been victorious in his aims there would be no war clouds in Europe today. We cannot restore our champion to the lists, but the cause he championed is not lost" he said.
 "The cause of liberty had it's ideal in Washington, it was personified in Lincoln, and 1t had it's apothesis in Woodrow Wilson" was the estimate by MT Thomas "Mr. Wilson does not need us. but we need him. the play wright continued.
 Mrs. tCatt declared the ingratitude of the republic proverbial, and pre- dieted that generations to come would proclaim the ideals of Wilson as those who followed Washington and Lincoln had reversed the judgment of their contemporaries.
 "The time to tell MT. Wilson he was right is right now" she said. eff a later generation builds him a monu- ment it will not be a memorial, but an apology"

THE FSUP HORSEMEN" COMING
Hailed as the Supreme Expression of
 Screen Art.

Rex Ingram's $1.000,00O production of The Four Horsemen of the Apo- calypso made for Metro, is announc- ed by the Palace Theater for Saturday. January 21 and Monday, January 23 This will be the first showing here of the screen version of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's novel that has been acclaim ed in New York, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg. Detroit and Los Angeles as marking a new epoch in the develop ment of motion pictures. At it's New York opening people paid $1O seat. Critics said the picture had definite ly established the screen not only as capable of rivaling the stage at it's best, but of surpassing it in it's grip upon the emotions.
 The Four Horsemen," is the su- preme expression of the Great War Certainly no novel has stirred the uni yarsa1 appeal created by the Ibanez masterpiece The book, now in it's one hundred and siXty-SiXth edition, has been read throughout the world. The monumental task of transferring it to the screen was accomplished by June Mathis, who made a scenario that from all accounts has preserved the force of the original and in many incidents heightened it. But, it is the director, Rex Ingram, who has appar- entity achieved the most sensational success He is reported to have set a new mark in artistry of picturization
 Through it all are galloping the four horsemen, spoken of by St. John in the Book of the Apocalypse-the grim figures of Conquest, War, Fam inc and Death.
 The cast includes Rudolph Valenti- no, Alice Terry, Pomeroy Canno, Jos eph Swickard, Brinsley Shaw, Ala. Hale, Bridgetta Clark, Mabel Van Blu ren, Brodwitch (Smoke) Turner, NigeI de Brulier, John Sainpolis, Mark FentOn, Virginia Warwick, Derel Ghent, Stuart Holmes, Jean Hersholt Henry Klaus, Edward Connolly, Geor. gia Woodthorpe, Kathleen Key, Wal. lace Berry, Jacques d'Auray, Curt Rehfeld, Mile Dolores, Bull" Mon tana, Isabel Keith.

OBITUARY.

Cerro GorGo, Jan. 16.-(Special.)- About 1:15, Friday, December 30, 1921, the death angel came to the home of G. w. Brazil and claim ed as his own, Bro Brazil's devoted wife. Five children in infancy had gone on before to welcome thelr mother on the beautiful shore. She leaves devoted husgand and seven children to mourn her departure. Her youngest son, Jim, IS and her youngest daughtre, Kate, 16, with their father are the ones left at home O. so lonely, to see her acant place and listen in vain to hear her sweet voice. G. WI Jr., ElDoTaGo; John, Cerro Gordo. and E. R. of Louisiana, are the sons left to mourn her death, with the girls, Mrs. K. c. Kirk and MT. Edna Bollinger of Cerro GOrdO. Sister Brazil was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. j. Billingsley and lived 5 years, months and P days With
 
 in Oklahoma and in Texas, sister Bra gil spent her life in Little River county From her marriage, Febru ary 24, 1883, she was a devoted wife. She lived true to her vows did her part in making Q happy home. Sister Brazil was converted at the age of thirty. She immediately united with the Baptist church at Pauley. Later she united with the Baptist church at Cerro Gordo. This was the only change she made in her church mem- bership. Having talked with her per sonally, I know sister Brazil was firm steadfast and unmovable in her Christian convictions. She manifest ed a great interest together with her husband in their children as well as { in other people She loved Jesus and wanted every body else to love Him. Jesus shined out through her life. Her hands were ever ready to help the poor She was gentle, loving and self-sacrificing. It was never so cold, so hot or so dark but that she was ready to extend helping hand when her neighbors were in need Need less to say, she had friends where ever she went, and especially did her neighbors love hen Yet, she lived so close to Jesus, the great light, that she despised her own life and prayed that she might live better We com mend the bereaved ones to her Sav- for as a real comforter in time of need. Especially do we pray for her children and husband May His rich est grace comfort your hearts and prepare the unprepared for His com ing.

PLEADS FOR LOWER RATES
Both Passenger and Freight Charges
 Should Be Reduced.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 1S.-Senator Robinson of Arkansas, in a speech in the Senate today in favor Cf lcgisla- tion providing for the issuance of milo age books on the railroads, launched a vigorous demand for Q decrease in both freight and passenger rates, which, he colteaded, would result in increased rather than decreased reve- nues for the railroads.
 Passenger and freight rates are so high now hat they discourage travel and shipping" declared Senator Rob inson. He said that reduction of rates would, in his opinion, not only revive business throughout the coun- try, but would increase revenues for the railroads.
 Nothing has been done to injure business so much as increased rail- road rates," he said, while there is nothing Congress could do that would put more life and enthusiasm in busi- ness and industry than to decrease the rates"
 Senator Robinson cited figures showing that during the first half of 1920, when passenger rates averaged 2.6 cents per mile, 16S railroads deriv- ed $564,5S6, PAP in revenues, while dur ing the corresponding period of 1921, lx.,l,o To the same railroads derived $575, ,254,- 211, or less then $10,0O0,OO0 more than under the lower rates.
 In proof of his contention that the higher rates discouraged travel, the senator said that the number of fares in the first half of 1920 was 595,771,- : 900, which dropped durnig the first half of 1921 to 522,195,OO0, and that
 the average distance of journey de- ' creased from 3641 to 35.O4 miles. , The senator also presented similar 1 figures relating to freight, mail and express, which he said he had not had
 the opportun ty to analyze but was prepared to make the general state- ment that a conclusion was warrant ed that the same or greater revenues might be obtained by judicious re- duction of rates
 Such reductions" he said, "could not be made arbitrarily or on a per centage basis, and could not be done by Congress, but must be left to the Interstate Commerce Commission As in the case of passenger fares, the figures presented by Senator Rob inson showed thft during the six

The following bit cn Arkansas comes to us as marked article of the Daily Post of Jefferson City, Mis- souri:
 When Lester Parker goes to Ar kansa5 to look over his properties he dresses the part In that part of Arkansas where Parker has hi 6 in terests the people are not impressed with high collars and cuffs or with city clothes. They favor a man of their own tastes. Therefore Parker becomes different personality when he mingles among his neighbors. He abandons the Parker we know and becomes razeTback native.
 Upon a recent visit there and after, in true Arkansaw fashion, he permitted his whiskers to grow. he walked into a photographers gal lery and said he wanted his pit shure tooked' He took an extra hitch in his trousers, crossed his eyes and said fire away" The re- suit was shown in a photograph published in the Daily Post SatUr- day.
 Parker has the welfare of Ar kansas at heart He declares that if Arkansas was given half a chance and a square deal it would develop into one of the greatest states of the Union. He knows conditions there because he has dWelt among them He did not give it a Dirdseye view or form impressions riding on a train. He lived with them. He knows just how far a true Arkansan can shoot volley of tobacco juice and never miss a mark. He knows the kind of preachin' they like and the highbrow stuff they don't like.
 Publication of the "pitshure" Saturday caused much speculation and about out of every 1 identi- fled Lester s. Parker, business man, plantation owner, artist and poet"
 We cant tell for sure whether Les ter was kidding the Missouri town na- tives, who had never travelled much, or whether they were trying to kid him a little. At any rate while Lest CT had the floor he might have given more detail of the people of this far off Arkansas, He could have told them that the grown gals down here went barefoot in summer and dipped snuff with an old fashioned sweetgum toothbrush, and that when a strange man appeared they were apt to gather in punches and giggle, and a lot more that he forgot to mention. Lester shows himself only a half Arkansan when he says that given half a chance and square deal Arkansas will de- velop into one of the greatest states in the Union. Arkansas has taken the whole chance, demands the square deal, has all eady developed into one of the greatest statse in the Union, and is headed for the top of the list.

preciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, and this device still forms the
