MOTORISTS URGED
TO HELP MAKE CITY
MORE ATTRACTIVE
HooSier Motor Club Head
Says Drivers Are Care
less With Refuse.

Keen interest on the part of the
average car owner in the national
movement to preserve and respect
the countryside has encouraged Todd
Stops, secretary manager of the
Hoosier Motor Club. to suggest the
need for greater civic pride to be
displayed by motorists.
Other clubs affiliated with the
American Automobile Association, he
says. have already noticed that
while many motorists are learning
TO keep picnic spots clean they seem
to feel no restriction when driving
in the city. The Hoosier Motor Club
believes that motorists can help
make Indianapolis a cleaner and
more presentable city by carrying
the countryside preservation idea to
its logical conclusion.
Litter the Streets
'It has been noticed that motor
lists toss miscellaneous forms Of lit
ter into streets as they ride along, y
Mr.. Stops says. This sort Of thing
IS unnecessary and unsightly. I'm
like the pedestrian, the motorist can
easily carry unwanted articles with
him until he finds a suitable place
for them.
"One OF the most unnecessary
nuisances is the car with the leaking
crank case. Every time such car
crosses the pavement to enter a
driveway oil is deposited and tracked
around by tires and shoes. Such
conditions are often found near some
Of the city's most attractive build
ings and points of interest.
Park in Line
1T has been noted by city archi-
tects that parking regulations have
much to do with the presentableness
and general impression of a city. 1t
is a suggestion to the motorist that
the least he can do is to park his
car in line and see that it doesn' I
look like an eyesore. People are
quick to condemn the property owner
whose building is shabby and out of
harmony with the general picture.
The same criticism applies to motor
lists who fail TO see that they. too,
have a part in honoring the city as
we'll as the countryside.

1 jokingly suggested that if the
Democrats were to receive a like

other.
Dudley replied in the same vein,
that Republicans had lot more
sense than Democrats in spending
their campaign funds, and then
proceeded seriously to explain that
a plan was afoot to carry Della
ware; that in Delaware at that
time only persons owning real es-
tate could vote, and that it was
proposed to use this fund, or a
part of the fund. to buy tract
of swamp land, and parcel it out
among the laboring men so as
to qualify them as voters. We
stated that it was a matter of
principal with us, and that we
should not withdraw our opposi-
ton to the bill.
The bill did not pass at that
session. 1t did pass with some
amendment IN 1889.
A striking incident which oc-
Cured near the end Of my serv-

the relationship between private in

A ship subsidy bill was pending
in the House, so sweeping in it's
provisions, that as one of it's OPP
ponents somewhat extravagantly
said, it would substitute every fish

on the part of private interests to
get into the public treasury.
I was opposed to 1t, because II
granted a privilege to private in
terests. Therefore, I began to can

to see if I could not persuade
enough of them to join in voting
with the Democrats to defeat the
bill.
These first tests of strength

the Democrats to defeat It by a

WHAT A HILL FARM CAN DO

A delegation of Clark county farm
ers visited Conway last week to see
what their Faulkner county neigh
bors are doing nd how Faulkner
county is proving that small hill farm
ers may be prosperous if they are the
right kind Of farmers
While the Clark county delegation
was looking over the milk receiving
station at Conway a neatly dressed,
intelligent girl Of II drove up in an
old-fashioned, one horse buggy. In
the buggy were cans containing milk
produced on her fathers farm and
on the farm Of neighbOr, a basket
Of peas and basket of eggs. The
Clark county farmers were interested
and they questioned the girl. She
told them that her family lived on a
small hill farm two miles from Con
way. They milk six cows, have a
flock Of good hens, small garden and
Il few fruit trees. Every morning she
delivers the milk from the farm to
the station, and she brings in eggs,
fruits, vegetables and whatever else
there is to sell. These she deliveries
to private costumers. She completes
her deliveries in time to attend high
school when school is in session.
In this hill farmers family there
are nine children and the two oldest
now are attending college. The farms
produce supports the family comfort
ably and pays the expenses of the
children who are in college.
What this hill farmer is doing can
be done throughout Arkansas, but it
can not be done without a lot Of in
dustry and determination and intel
ligence.-Gazette.

How Shall We Interpret the Bible

The main part of the conflict being
waged so bitterly today between the
schools known as MOdernist and Fun
damentalist is conflict over the husk.
1t rarely If ever gets further than the
letter of the word. Regardless of the
Masters saying that the letter killeth
but the spirit giveth life,' it spends
all its attention on the wrappings in
which the spirit is conveyed. Both
contestants might easily give the i'm
preston that exactitude of temporal
statement is all there is to the bible.
Its fallibility and infallibility are made
to turn on such questions as whether
or not there ever was a deluge, Noah,
and an ark of gopher wood; whether
or not the Red sea divided for the
passage of the Israelites; whether or
not the Ten Commandments were
actually engraved on stone by the
Finger Of Coda digit like that on
a human hand-as man might write
on slab of dough, or given in some
simpler way.
That these are interesting questions
is not to be denied. Nor can it be
derled that the work done by critics,
scholars. and excavatOrs within the
last hundred years is of value beyond
estimation. My point is merely that
to form schools for and against their
conclusions can only be misleading to
simple folk looking for commOn-sense
guidance. When IA reverend divine
thunders from his pulpit that he does
MT believe the story of the Tower
of Babel; when an equally reverend
divine thunders back that you must
believe the story of the Tower of Babel
or be damned; when the newspapers
make capital of this difference of Opin-
ion, with headlines even more sensa-
tiOnal than the sermons they report,
the man in the street can hardly be
other than bewildered. If he cares
at all he is disgusted rather than
profited by these disputes. If he does
MT care he is RS likely as not to brush
the whole Bible aside as collection
of old wives tales. Basil King, in
Harper's for September.

GOLD NOW BEING FOUND
 IN GREAT QUANTITIES.
Output Increases--Say Mineral Can De Found In All Parts of
 the Land

London, Oct. 24. - A large in- crease in the gold production of the Transyaal Is interesting several English companies, who are organ izing prospecting expeditions into the little explored regions of the district. The reports of the ad- vance agents of the companies indi- cate that the gold producing areas of the Transvaal are by no means limited to the sections now being exploited, but really extend far into the interior, and it is probable that gold may be found in the waste lands to the north. The companies are sending engineers to South Africa immediately with orders to make investigations.
 The total output of gold for the Transvaal for July amounted to S29,437 fine ounces, the largest ever produced, and it is only the second time in the history of Transyaal gold mining that the monthly pro- duction has been more than S00,000 ounces. The value of the output for July was 3,S67,250 pounds.
 The value of the gold produced for the first six months of the pres ent year was 22,500,000 pounds, a record

ARMENIAN PRELATE
 LOOKS ID AMERICA
Thinks U. s. Will Take Part in
 Directing Its DeStinies

Etchmiadzin, Armenia, Oct, ci,-- Armenia still looks hopefully to the United States todake an active part in tho direction of the des,lnies of that distracted little country, the Ar menian Catholcos said to the As- sociated Press correspondent re- gently.
 Although the Catholicos admitted that Armenia under the Bolshevik regime of Moscow had made con- siderable strides toward recovery he condemned the European countries in unsparing terms for what he termed their abandonment and be- trayal of Armenia to the Bolshe- viks, "If," said he with great vigor and emotion, i've knew these coun- tries were going to prove false to their promise to Armenia we would not have made enemies of our near neighbors, but friends. We are now reaping the penalty of hav- ing opposed Russia, Turkey and our other neighbors during the World war Our independence is gone, our territories are dismembered, our population is disunited, and half our people are dead"
 Was it fair, was 1t Christian" continued His Holiness, flor the European states 10 throw us to the

mercies of our enemies, after we had given tens of thousands of our young men to fight for the allies? Americas failure to accept the mandate for Armenia under the League of Nations was also bitter disappointment. but all Armenians know 1t was due in no way to the American people, whose charity, brotherhood and generosity toward us have been manifested in a thous- and different ways. We know rather that 1t was due to the preiudices and misgiyings of professional poli- l tiCians.
 The Catholicos received the cor respondent in the sacristy Of the famous Cathedral of the Virgin. In an adjoining room were stacked scores of huge boxes and trunks containing gold and other property seized from the church by the Mos cow Soviet authorities during the famine of 1920-91, and which were recently returned to the Catholicos by the Bolsheviks.
 The Catholicos spoke with deep gratitude of the work of the Amer ican men and women engaged in orphanage and other relief work in Armenia for the Near East Relief organization. If it were not for their help. we certainly would have perished," said the aged prelate. They came to us in our hour of greatest peril and gave us gener- ously of supplies from across the ocean. Today you will find half the population of Armenia clothed in garments contributed by your ever charitable people. But you must turn to our orphans for Ar menia's real measurc@of gratitude to the United States for its assist ance. Every one of our 50,00O parentless children is a living ex- ample of the unselfish and devoted work of your men and women in Armenia"
 The Catholicos referred sorrow fully to the restrictions and diff culties imposed upon the Armenian church by the Soviet authorities. He said Armenia was now without single seminary in which to train it's youth for the priesthood, or in which to instruct the younger gen. eration in the principles of the Christian religion. He complained that the Soviet authorities forbade religious instruction in the Armen- ian schools.
 Discussing the present welfare of the Armenian people, the Catho- licos said the country was steadily making progress toward recovery, and that the health and economic outlook of the population was bet ter than for many years. He ar gued, however, that Armenia could never become real national home for the Armenians unless the dis tricts taken from it during the war were restored.
