Japs Not Wanted Here
Colony Promoters Get Little EncOur-

tBy Jim G, Ferguson, Commissioner

ture).
There are no anti-Japanese immi-
grafton laws ON the Arkansas statute
hooks, bu there is strong public SEN
timent against the importation of this
class of aliens and promoters who are
seeking to locate colony Of Japs in
the state are meeting with no encour-
agement, says Jim G. Ferguson, Com
missioner Of Mines, Manufactures and
Agriculture.
II is said that Arkansas and Florida
have the most liberal alien land laws
of any states in the union and the
floor of oriental immigration, no long

has turned 10 the south, the result he
ing that the agricultural department
Of Arkansas is receiving numerous
calls for help in locating settlements
Of Japanese. Tracts of land ranging
nj size from 10000 to 100000 acres
and suitable for truck growing are
wanted. Most of the large tracts Of
undcvcloped land are owned by the
lumber companies and none of these
seem disposed to undertake a Japan
cse settlement.
Citizens Of the state strongly and
rightfully oppose the bringing in of
Japanese labor" says Commissioner
Ferguson. I'VE need more farmers to
cultivate our vacant lands but we want
white people who can he assimilated

from California's experience are not
desirable citizens for the reason that
they underbid our American labor

IN MEMORY OF
BRO. j. j. OSTEEN

~ h
saw fltoes call him home, He
had suffered long time, yet
bore his Affections with chris
tian fortitude.
Mr.. Osteen was born July
%, 1858, at DeAnn, Hampstead
county, Ark. He was married
twice and to these unions were
born thirteen children, six boys
and seven girls, six of whom
still live to mourn his depart
IRE.
He accepted Christ in early
life and united with the Bap-
tist church, where he remained
an active, devoted member un-
till death; he was church clerk
for many years. The church
accepted his resignation as
clerk on account of his eye
sight. He was Sunday School
superintendent for a number
of years. This church will miss
him, for he was a faithful la
borer in the work.
The country will miss him,
for it has lost a true and tried
friend-one who was ever rea.
dy to help those in need and
to comfort those bereft.
The children have lost a
kind and loving father; no
father could show a greater
love for his children.
Yet we ask you to weep not
for him as for one that had
no hope, for he now lives in a
fair and blessed land, awaiting
redemption of the body-wait-
ing for Christ to come to call
those who still live. Then it
shall be we shall dwell forever
and forever with Him at Home
