Pheasants Distributed
1t pays you in case of the theft of your car!

County Agent Smith has recently
placed ten pairs of pheasants in Ran
dolph county. The birds are raised by
the Arkansas Game and Fish Commits
sion and are distributed, in pairs. to
each county in the state. 1t is the de-
sire of the Commission to stock Ar
kansas with this game bird.
Mr.. Smith turned about half of his
ten pair loose in the Black river bot
tom country and the other half loose
in the hills. These birds multiply
rapidly when they are not molested by
hunters and in few years they should
he as plentiful as quail in this section.
There is no open season for hunting
these birds and a heavy fine. or i'm
prisOnment, is provided for anyone
found guilty of killing them.
In few years, when the birds be.
come plentiful, the game commission
plans to open the season for pheasants

BLAZE DESTROYS
The BALTz HOTEL

Fire of undetermined origin destroy
ed the Baltz Hotel here early Satur-
day morning. The blaze is thought to
have originated somewhere in the
second story near the roof and it had
gained great headway before being
discovered. Roomers dashed out in
the chill of early morning scantily
clothed and without taking time to Sc
cure even their personal effects.
An alarm brought hundreds of towns
people to the scene and the work of
controlling the fire was started. A
stiff north wind was blowing, endan-
gering a number of buildings in the
rear of the hotel. The Sallee Service
Station and its gas and oil tanks were
only a few yards from the hotel and
the Pete Cooper machine shop was
even closer and directly in the path of
the wind-blown flames. Two sets of
fire hose were put into action and
heroic work of the fire fighters under
the direction of Marshal SlaytOn kept
the blaze within the walls of the hotel.
The hotel was frame building, con-
structed entirely of wood and its age
rendered it easy prey to the flames.
Fire insurance inspectors who have
viewed the SHE'LL which is still stand
ing, are high in their praise of Poca-
hontas' fire fighting system. With the
headway the fire had gained before be-
ing discovered and the draft caused
by the high wind the fire fighters are
indeed to be commended for controlling
the blaze and extinguishing it before
the outside walls had been destroyed.
The loss on the hotel and its furnish
ings was complete, practically nothing
being taken from the building after
the fire was discovered. The loss on
the building is estimated at approx
mately $4,000

Baby, Matches, Loses Barn

Leon Lemmons, residing short dis.
tance out of POcahontas on the old
Bellville road lost his barn and its
contents last Friday afternoon, when
fire destroyed the building. A four
year old son was playing alone in the
barn and threw lighted match into a
pile Of hay. After the fire had gained
good headway the baby ran to the
house and told its mother that the
barn was burning. It was then too
late to stop the fire and the building
was destroyed before anything could
be taken from it. A wagon, a number
of farming tools, some hay, corn and
other feed was destroyed.

Lose To JOnesbOrO

POcahOntas football fans saw one of
the best little football teams in the
State in action last Thursday when the
second team from the JOnesbOro Aggie
school performed on the local gridiron.
POca Hi furnished the OppositiOn-if it
can be termed opposition.
The game started with Jonesboro re-
ceiving and the visitors started goal
ward, putting over their first touch
down in short order. They did this
four times in the first half and four
more times in the second half, rolling
up a total of 81 points, while POca
never even threatened a score.
The JOnesbOrO team is husky bunch
and is one of the best drilled the local
squad Encountered this year. 1t can
be said for the POca team that four or
five of them put up great fight against
the visitors, but four Or five fighters
cannot hope to stop team like that
brought up by Coach Schwartz.
After the game the visitors were
given a banquet by the Poca Hi Ath-
letic Association, and at night they
were entertained by the Rainbow girls
with party. The JOnesborO boys are
all good sports and are well liked here.

ANXIOUS TO BUILD
CANNING FACTORY

Chas. F. Dietz, Belleville, ILL.,, manu-
facturer, who has been in Randolph
county recently looking over the terri
tory with a view to locating a canning
factory here, has written Mr.. f. j.
Baltz that he is satisfied that a fac
tory would be big thing for this
community.
He says that after receiving infOr-
nation from various points he is com
pletely satisfied that a canning fac
tory i'm POcahOntas would not only
pay, but pay well. That it would be
"gOd-send" to some of the farmers
and great aid to unemployed male
and female labor
Regarding costs Mr.. Dietz states that
the factory, machinery, etc, would re-
quire a capital of about $500. To
insure the success of the factory, an
acreage of 10 to 100 acres of tomatoes
some pickle, string beans, grapes and
peaches should be guaranteed. All OF
these could be handled without any ex-
ira equipment Then as the business
expanded and more acreage was put
in, the factory could be enlarged and
more machinery installed.
Mr.. Dietz suggests that a meeting
of Randolph county financiers and in
terested farmers be called and that he
will come down to attend the meeting
and explain the matter fully. Oul
Chamber of Commerce should wake NJ
to its opportunity and not let this
matter drag along until it is forgotten
