ARKANSAS HOPEFUL AS CROPS FLOURISH Only Skeleton Force of Relief Workers Left—U. S. Loans State $4,000,000. . By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 1.—Al- ready in Arkansas it's “last year's| drought.” | Coming of Spring has created a subtle | change in the outlook of Arkansas to- ward the arid months from May, 1930, | to March, 1931. | Industrialists and State agricultural | officials have interpreted the new ps; ‘ chology as & forerunnner to a “new era | in business and farming.” | More material evidence of the passing of the drought period is in the sharply reduced Red Cross food lists, which once numbered half a million pcrsons‘l Reduction in Dependants. Unofficial estimates from representa- tive secticns of the State have placed the number of dependents on foreign | aid at approximately one-fifth the num- | ber which received necessities during | the peak months. | More than a week before its an-| nounced date ofgwithdrawal, on April 1, the State Red Cross organization had Dbeen reduced to a skeleton force. Only a few field workers will remain in Arkansas after today. Agricultural empicyment is rapidly increasing and added labor will soon | be required. One large radish grower in Southern Arkansas has advertised for 1,000 workers. Truck crops are now finding a ready market in the large population centers | — of the State, while cotton planting has been under way in most sections for a ‘week or more. | March Rains Send Relief. | Late March rains, watering garden | stuff planteg from the thousands of | Red Cross seed packets, has produced | an increasingly ample supply of food- | stuffs for drought victims. | Commercial fruit orchards of North- ern Arkansas are well in bloom, al- though agricultural extension workers | forecast a short crop on fruit and ber- | ries due to destruction of vines and trees. | Approximately $4,000,000 in Federal loans have gone to the State, and farm- | ers have taken advantage of the State's $1,500,000 ffYm relief program, made possible by waactment of the Toland | Farm Relief Act at the last General | Assembly. ¢ While !heor‘ are still many districts where the drought is yet an actuality, the State generally has progressed to the late convalescent stage where it can “sit up and take nourishment.” BABE R:JTH’S SHOP FAILS Auctionee ¢ Sell Haberdashery in New York City Today.

STOCKDALE URGES CHRIST’S LEAD FOR ALL Gospel Rich Because of Decision at the Cross, Lenten Gath- ering Told. walks of life were Persons in all urged to, mold their lives to fit the | teachings of Christ in a sermon by Rev. Dr. Allen A. Stockdale, pastor of the First Congregation Church, at midday Lenten services in the New York Avenue church today. Declaring “our Gospel is rich because of the decision made at the cross.” Dr. Stockdale later developed the thought that Christ’s love was as great for those of the lower stations in life as for those of prominence among their fellow men. He urged that persons make decisions on various matters in accordance with the teachings of Christ. Dr. Stockdale preached at the serv- ices yesterday in place of Bishop Wil- liam F. McDowell, who was called out of the city Monday. Bishop McDowell was expected to return in time to de- liver the sermon at the services in the church todya. S hi b | Listen, Here's Good News: What's the use in kidding yourself? If you feel tired and run down, you ought to do something about it before some serious illness strikes. You ought to build up your body so it’s one hundred per cent fit. The way to do this, say doc- tors, is to take cod liver oil. But don’t take cod liver oil the old- fashicned liquid way. Take it the modern way in tiny taste- less tablets. McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets are made from the vitamins of the finest cod liver oil that Nor- way can produce.
