the Union Trust Company and the Ar
kansas Gazette. Mr.. Bodman is known
among cotton manufacturers in Europe
as the man who saved the quality and
reputation of Arkansas cotton in 1919,
Mr.. West said. He told OF meeting
several men in Liverpool who recalled
the rainy fan of 1919 in Arkansas,
when cotton was being ginned wet.
Il was afraid of Arkansas cotton"
one man told Mr.. West, until visited
your home city and met that banker,
Mr.. Bodman, who has done more for
agriculture in your state, understand,
than any other. When ! observed his
tireless and successful efforts to pre-
vent the ginning of wet cotton, l re-
gained confidence in the product of
your state. I've never had occasion
to lose it again"
The British, Mr. West learned, are
making super-human efforts to promote
the growing of good quality cotton
within the British empire. Their OBJ
ject is not merely to secure a cheaper
and adequate source Of cotton but to
create demand for cotton products in
the faraway corners of the empire. The
theory is that once the half-civilized
natives in Africa, South America and
other countries begin to produce cotton
they will begin to wear and demand
cotton clothing.

3 KILLED, SCORE
 HURT IN WRECK
Maine Central Train Derailed in
 Zero Weather

Calais, Me, Jan, 30 tPl--Three persons are dead and 20 others in- jured, three probably fatally. as a result of the derailment Of the Maine Central railroad two miles west of the town of Marion, q flag station, of the smoking car and rear coach of west bound Boston train.
 The accident occurred late yes- terday afternoon as the train was crossing the Clifford stream bridge but 1t was not until nearly midnight that the last of the injured had been brought here by rescue trains.
 The dead are:
 w. J. Gould, Calais.
 Clarence Strout. Milbridge.
 A two year old child of Mrs. Sum her Hartford. Woodland.
 The bodies of the dead were re- covered by trainmen and uninjured passengers who labored in zero weather to eXtricate them from the wreckage, Spreading rails were be- lieved to have caused the accident. The dead were all in the rear coach which was badly crushed as it top pied down an embankment.
 The locomotive remained on the tracks, and as soon as he could re- lease it from the rest of the train, Engineer Grey started at full speed for Mechias. Physicians and nurses were rushed from there and this town and gave first aid to injured on the scene, afterwards bringing the more seriously hurt to Calais. Others were taken to Machias and Bangor.
 Railroad workers succeeded in clearing the track this morning and traffic was resumed.
 The injured: w. B. Dodge, Man. chester, N. H.; w. B. Harrington, Winter Harbor Me; Richard H. Philbrock, Machias, Me; Verna Donovan. Ellsworth, Me: w. F. Clark, Bangor, Me; Leo J. Sexton, Machias, Me; John S. Gilmore, Lu- bee, Me-; F. J. Wood, Boston.

 The train was proceeding behind q blow train. which cleared the rails of deeply drifted snow. when tho rails apparently spread, as the train was passing over Clifford stream bridge, a small structure.
 The rear coach, in which the threo persons killed were passengers, went down over an embankment and came to a stop parallel with the tracks, after striking the cemenr abutment
 The smoking car was tipped over on to its side, also on the north sidn of the road bed, but the train pulled 1t half way back. One pair of wheels on the sleeping car also left tho rails, but no one was injured In that car.
 With zero temperature prevailing, physicians and nurses from this city and Machias worked over the iniur- cd while trainmen and uninjurCd passengers labored 10 secure tho bodies of the dead,
 Those of the child and of Mir. Strout were soon taken out, but it was late, in the evening before Gould's body was liberated from be- meath the coach wreckage.
