HOT SPRINGS LOSES
100000 IN FLOOD
Miraculous Rescues as People
Are Swept Along in Street Tor
rentS-No Lives Lost.

Little Rock, Ark.-Though at least
100000 damage was done, no lives
were lost and only one person was
seriously injured in the food and fire
which swept Hot Springs after veri-
table cloudburst.
The sole victim reported was Mrs.
Katie Christianson, whose skull was
crushed when she was caught in an
automobile by the onrush of the wa
tiers.
Reports from the stricken city indi-
cate that, except for no loss of life,
the havoc wrought in the mile path of
the flood compares with the calamities
at Johnstown and Galveston.
The food waters have subsidized from
Central avenue, the business street OF
Hot Springs, which was converted
into raging torrent by storm water
which rushed down the mountain
slopes and, converging at the north
end of the avenue, swept down the
thoroughfare..
With water running ten feet deep
down the street and torrential rain
falling the fire broke out, starting in
a furniture store and spreading until
it took in an entire business block.
Every structure in the block was
RACED, including a score of buildings
and the Marquette Hotel, one of the
better-class hostelries of the resort.
The food made it impossible for the
firemen to get their apparatus into po-
sition to fight the flames, out by hero
ic efforts they were able, with the as
sistance of volunteers, to rescue hotel
guests and others and avoid loss of
life Hundreds of tales of heroism
are being told in Hot Springs concern
ling the rescue of persons whose lives
were menaced by fire and food.
The water in front OF the Marquette
was six feet deep when the flames.
reached that building and wiped it
out.

The Farmer And The Railroad
Are Their Interests Hostile Or Mutual?
By F. L. Chapman, Editor "Better Farming"


put the railroads out of business,
compel government ownership, create
two million positions little and big for
the politicians to haggle over and let
those two million employees tell the
rest of US one hundred eight million
when the trains will run and when
they will hot run.
But that is not my only objection
to government ownership, which,
is something, by the way, that
I almost favored very briefly at one
time. I changed my mind. The man
who will not change his mind, if neces-
sary, on on presentation of new facts
hasn't much mind to change.
These two facts changed it.
1. I don't wish to increase our
National Debt twenty billion dollars.
That's the least the roads would cost
us. We would have to issue bonds to
buy them. They would be govern
ment bonds with the governments
guarantee of interest every minute.
2. I don't wish to pay NOR taxes.
If the railroads belong to the govern
ment they pay no taxes, no more than
any other public property. In one
county where I do some farming two
railroads paid $113,OO0.00 of the tax
es last year. If that amount had to be
distributed among the sparsely scat
tered farmers and small people of that
county it would be adding to their
burden cruelty.
Therefore, I prefer to pay the pres
ent rates on traffic. I prefer that to
a big increase in my taxes. Especial
ly so since freight rates may again
come down as they have done twice
for the farmer in 10 months. But
taxes come down? Never in your
lifetime nor mine.
What I want most Of all is service
and don't see how any railroad can
give it unless it has a good safe track
and sufficient cars and the ample
power to pull chem land that means
enough money to buy them.
Doesn't it make you tired to hear
some Of these bushy browed declaim-
ers trying to make US believe that the
present high freight rates are para
Lying agriculture? How much OF
our total expense bill in farming is
freight anyway? Six, possibly eight
per cent. How much do we wish
knocked off? Enough to bring the
rate down to that of 1913? All in IA
vor say "aye"! The ayes have it.
Now we have saved two per cent. of
our yearly expenses. The annual ex-
|pense of the average farmer is ST.
10000. Two per cent. saved on that
is $4,000. That settles it We are
saved. The country is saved Every
body is happy except the agitator who
is hunting for new issue.
My dear good farm people, I should
not play with such a serious topic.
But the fact is, that isn't the topic
which confronts US. The question be-
fore US is not "shall we save few
dollars on freight" but "shall the
railroad business remain a business or
shall it be government agency own
ed in common but run by political en-
ployes?" If it is to remain a business
it will have to be run as a business
and run to pay at least 6 per cent.
for it's owners. If it is to be COM
munized, that is owned in common, I
I am just warning you that the COM
munists will not wish to stop there.
They will some day covet our farms.
They can't have mine!

Tobacco

There is one question that
ever so many folks ask us about
our tobacco counter: "How do
you clio it?' We just do it
that's all. For a period of years
we have, as far as we know, un-
dersold any other store on all
standard cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco. You save nearly 1919
on anything you buy.
This year we have added a
beautiful line of pipes-Key-
woodies, Italian Bl'uyre and
English Briar all at prices far
below other stores-and every
pipe guaranteed to be perfec-
ton itself.
Yes-you can walk right in
here and buy tobacco at whole
sale prices at any time-and
we'll make every effort to take
care of you right up to the last
minute.

Candy

As a matter of fact, this
candy department of ours is
more OF less an innovation. 1t
occupies but a small space in a
great store-but does a great
business. Literally tons of
candy are sold over this little
6-foot counter. Nearly all the
we'll known makes, in beautiful
Christmassy boxes, besides the
regular old fashioned Christ
mas Candy that no Yuletide
would be complete without. This
enormous sale of candy is ac-
counted for by the low prices
for here you pay quite a bit less
than you would pay in other
stores for the very same candy.
