THANKSGIVING
VICES AT
LOCAL CHURCH

Today, Thanksgiving day, was OBJ
served as a holiday here. All the busi-
ness houses with one or two exceptions
! remained closed throughout the day,
enabling employers and employees
alike to observe the day according to
their liking.
A special Thanksgiving program, ar
ranged by the ladies, was rendered at
the Baptist church from 100 to
1900. The church auditorium was
we'll filled by an appreciative congre-
CATION. The program consisted OF
special piano music by Mrs. B. Capers;
scripture reading and prayer by
pastor ]. c. Cox; vocal solo by Miss
Dubois Ferguson; song by the con-
gregaton, all anthem, sung by high
school boys and girls and others, and
vocal solo by Miss Mary Madden.
The scripture readings and the songs
were appropriate in every way and
added to the impressivencss of the
beautiful service.
Bro. Cox departed from his usual GUS
tom of delivering sermon, and called
| upon members OF the congregation to
give their views as to "What is the
greatest menace to the American Re-
public and American ideals today, and
the remedy?" Interesting three min
ute talks on the subject were made
by Prof. J. P. Wagner, Rev. H. NJ.
Michael, Mrs. Bert Davis, Mrs. J. N.
Jones, Judge J. f. Reynolds, Hon, F.
R. Taylor, Mrs. B. A. Brewer, Y. M.
Lyons and Hon. w. D. Golf. Many
Fcrent views were advanced, but al:
might be summed up in the one state
ment: "Thc greatest menace we have
as a nation is our tendency to leave
God out of our plans, and to depart
from the greatest principles on which
the constitution OF the United States
| is founded. The remedy is to get back
to the open bible, and to the {unda-
mentals upon which the greatest ma
ton in the world, was founded
After the benedction, and as the con-
gregation passed from the building, an
offering was taken at the door to be
divided equally between the two mis-
sicnary societies OF the town, to be
used as occasion demanded.

Pecan Crop Pays
Saws Local Man

DR.. D. R. Shehee of this place re-
ports the sale by him Of $50 pounds OF
pecans for $ll275, or 75c per pound.
The pecans were produced by trees
put out by him six years ago. He
sold the entire lot in Shreveport.
He states his only regret is that he
did not put out more trees at the same
time, as the pecans produced we're in
addition to a cotton crop grown on the
same land, and required no extra
work whatever. In few years these
trees will be producing several times
the present output.
Every land owner can increase his
income in the same manner that DR..

Brownie motion picture theatres in this
territory, announces the opening OF
the Arcadia theatre for Thursday

yeniences OF any modern picture house

attractive in design. The color scheme
carried out in the interior decoration
is two shades OF green and gold.
Suspended from the ceiling are eight
large electrolierS, while on the walls
are placed several wall lights giving
| very beautiful effect.
The front is OF odd design, with
neat little lobby, many lights and
| French doors at the entrance and
exit.
The theatre will be equipped with
| two modern picture machines, and a
first class screen. Mr. Press states
that his machines are always kept in
first class mechanical condition and
that the patrons OF this theatre can
rest assured that they will not be an
noyed by breakdowns and miShapS.
The opening feature will be "Sllver
Wings" staring Mary Carr with an
all-star cast. This picture comes d.
rect from a four months run in New
York City, and will be shown at the
Grand Opera House, Shreveport, be-
ginning December 3, after which it
will be shipped to Arcadia for exhi-
bition here. They will also present a
news film and a comedy together with
a special musical program for that
evening.
Mr.. Press, who will have charge OF
| the local theatre, together with Mr..
Brownies shows located at Gbsland
and Haynesville, comes well recon-
mended, both as citizen and show
man. He stated to a representative
OF the Democrat today, that nothing
will be shown in Arcadia's theatre but
high class pictures, and that it was
the earnest desire of the management
to give the people Of this territory a
show that they could refer to with
| pride.

TO FORCE ISSUE
Takes Up Matter of Secret
Indictment Asks Marshal
if Warrant For Him

PHOENIX, Ariz., May l. United
States Senator Ralph L. Cameron re-
turned to Phoenix today for the avow-
ed purpose of forcing the issue on
the matter of a secret indictment
which l am led to believe by rumors
and newspaper reports, was returned
against me by the federal grand jury
here almost year ago.
AS first step in the proceedings,
Senator Cameron went to the office
Of United States Marshal Tom Sparks
and asked if there was a warrant
there for him. He was informed that
no warrant had ever been submitted
to that office for service. The sena-
tor next went to United States Com
missioner John B. Hencke and asked
that bond be arranged to cover any
proceedings which might be taken. Al
though no complaint had been brought
to the attention of the federal com,
missioner, Senator Cameron was told
the request was complied with and q
bond furnished.

DECIDE. PACKER,
YARD ACT.
CONSTITUTIONAL
Chicago Commission Dealers
Challenge Lawfulness of
Restrictive Measure

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The pack
er and stock yard regulation act of
1921, which was put through congress
largely through the efforts of the ag-
ricultural bloc, was held constitutional
today by the supreme court.
Declaring the stock yards "are not
place of rest, or final destination,
but a throat through which the cur
rent flows and the transactions which
occur therein are only incident to this
current fro mthe east to the west, and
from one state to another" the court
described the livestock business con-
Quoted in the yards as interstate in
character.
Congress, in the act, treats the
various stock yards of the country as
great national public utilities to pro-
mote the flow of commerce. Chief
Justice Taft stated in delivering the
opinion of the court, "and assumed
that they conduct business affected
by public use of a national charac-
ter and subject to national regula-
tions That it is a business wherein
the power of regulation by legislative
action needs no discussion"
The law was challenged by certain
commission merchants and dealers in
the Chicago stock yards, who brought
separate suits i'll an effort to restrain
the secretary of agriculture from en-
forcing the law.

Governors of II
Federal Reserve
.l Banks Will Meet

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Governors
of the IL federal reserve banks OF the
country will meet tomorrow with the
federal reserve board for their annual
discussion of the administration pol
icies of the federal reserve system.
Particular interest attaches to the
meeting in view of President Harding
having let it be known that he would
look with favor upon the attendance
of Governor Strong OF New York, at
the proposed international conference
of banks of issue. No formal invita-
tion has yet been received, officials
said tonight. asking the board to send
a representative to such a conference
but il is believed such a request is on
the way. 1t is expected that some con
sideration of the possibility of Gov
ernor Strong taking part in the con-
ference will be given by the federal
reserve officers tomorrow because OF
the necessity for authorization by the
board before the New York governor
can participate in the international as
sembly.
