SINNERS of Sunshine
to Shine No More

Walnut Ridge, Jan. 13.-Sheriff
II. II. Caldwell and Chief Deputy c.
O. Hall, with several other officers,
invaded the little town of Sunshine
Wednesday about dusk and captured
Sam and Ephraim Farris, and seized
a 50gallon capacity still, IT'S gal
Ions of mash and one gallon of
moonshine, the product of Sunshine.
A clue was furnished by Ernest
Williams "a nephew of Constable N.
r. Riddle. who accompanied the
raiding officers. Williams said that
he was riding a horse Wednesday
and came upon the operators quite
unexpectedly about $50 D. m. and
that the Farris boys stopped him
with shotguns and had him to dis
mount Then they debated as to
his disposition, finally deciding that
he should be made to work at the
still, thereby duplicating himself so
that he would not "squeal." They
followed this course, keeping Will
liams until about dusk, when he
rode as hard as he could to the
officers, giving the information
which led to the alleged sinners ar
rest.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Oscar Will
liams, young poet of the modern
school, a volume of whose poetry
has been published by the Yale
University press and many of whose
poems have been published by the
B0okfellows of Chicago, made a tour
of Arkansas last week, stopping at
Fayetteville, Fort Smith, RUSSELL

peregrinating poet, having started
from his home in New York city
about two months ago and hiking
his way through the country. A
considerable part of his travels has
either been by being picked up by
tourists or on foot-similar to the
tramping of Vachel Lindsay, one of
the best known of the modern

says that the school of modern
poetry really dates from 1912 when
Harriet Monroe first published her

hoping to flank you unawares.'
1t was General Hans Won Below
one of the most distinguished OF
the German leaders in the World
war, who spoke.

1t was General the Earl Of Cavan,
one of the Acknowledgements who
led the British to victory, who re-
piled.
The two warriors who had faced
each other in command of titan
armies at critical periods during
the war met under extraordinary
circumstances at luncheon party
in Washington a few days ago. 1t
was meeting of friendly en-
emies."
Seated at the table were the Earl
OF Cavan, General Won Below, Gen
eral H. X. Bethel, military attache
to the British Embassy here, and
Colonel Bartholomew Lord Cavan
and Colonel Bartholomew are mem
bers of the British delegation to the
arms conference. General Won Be
low is in America on business. His
wife is an American. The former
German commander may stay here
indefinitely and is counting the idea
OF establishing himself in business
here.
The luncheon had all the char
acteristics of group of college
football players meeting after a bit
terly-fought gridiron duel, discussing
sood-naturedly the technical features
OF the battle. There was friendly
rivalry, but no bitterness.
Under the spell of coffee and the
lure of long cigars the conversation
between the generals drew out tales
OF daring and doing, deeds that
were done with vengeance, and
mishaps, sometimes humorous, that
had blocked the mighty drive of the
Prussians or mayhap weakened the
ranks of the allies. The luncheon
table became as a council table and

RAISING OF

Speakers at Meeting Say
This Would Solve Cotton
Reduction Problem; Cam

Little Rock, Jan. ia plan OF
crop diyersification as a permanent
means of cotton acreage reduction
was embodied IN recommendations tC
farmers OF Arkansas adopted at a
meeting of farmers and bankers rep
resenting about 40 counties at the
Hotel Marion yesterday.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
those present that it would be ill
advised and useless to attempt to fix
any definite per cent by which the
cotton acreage should be reduced.
The recommendations urge every
farmer to produce all the food and
feed stuffs needed for consumption
on his own farm. 1t was said that
if this were done, the acreage nee
eSsary for such food and feed crops
automatically would reduce the cot
ton acreage below the danger point,
The recommendation also urge
banks and credit merchants to as
sist in the plan by extending credit
to farmers to purchase live stock
and to plant new crops and to Co
operate with farmers organizations
in finding d market for the diyersi-
fled crops.
Campaign Is Planned.

 WIRELESS MUSIC
Installing Proper Instrument for Concerts Would Cost
 Probably $250

If plans of O. Gordon Erickson. municipal music director, are carried out Birmingham will be the first city in the south if not the first in the country, to furnish music for an entire state.
 He is planning To install wire- less at the Sunday afternoon con- certs which will permit people in all sections of the state to hear the music. He stated there are 5000 radio outfits in Alabama and if the wireless is placed in Birmingham the concerts will be heard by all of these.
 He believes that a sending instru- ment sufficient to transmit the sound to the radio outfits in the state can be installed at a cost of about s250.
 MT. Erickson stated that neigh bor of his, s. l.. Marbury, has a radio phone and that every night they have the pleasure of hearing con certs in Chicago. New York, Wash ington and other large cities and he cannot see why Birmingham cannot have concerts heard all over the state.
