ASK CONGRESS FOR
BILLION DOLLARS
Appropriations Asked For Will
Ttotal Nearly Two Million
More Than Last Year.
It’s no plaything to run Uncle
Sam’s business.
Something of the magnitude
of the American government is
shown in the estimates of ap
propriations needed for the
coming year, as submitted to
congress when that body con
vened at Washington last Mon
day.
The total amount congress will
be asked to appropriate reach
es the stupenduous sum of $1,
285,587,808. ar $272,853,614
more than was appropriated
last year. The great increase is
almost wholly due to the ad
ministration plans for military
preparedness. More than $116,
000,000 of the total is fordirect
expenditures on the army and
navy, with millions more to be
used in coast defense and other
fortification work.By establish
ments the amounts asked were:
Legislative _$ 7,573,372
Executive __ 30,807,505
Judicial _ 1,368,500
Agriculture_ 24,159.089
Foreign intercourse 5,426,699
Military _152,354,259
Naval _211,518,074
Indian affairs_ 10,175,036
Pensions _160,565,000

Public works_104,644,689
Postal service_316,364,879
Miscellaneous_ 98,290,563
Permanent apprs.. 135,074,673
The Postal Service estimate
is deductible from the total be
cause its receipts are turned
back into the Treasury. That
leaves $969,492,929 as the ac
tual total of appropriationscon
gress is asked to make,or$167,
853,401 more than last year.

morning to begin her work. We
wish her much success.
The Newark Hi School foot
ball team disbanded Friday.
The team was the best ever
known in the history of New
ark Hi. The first game was
played with the Searcy team on
their ground. That being the
first game they had played,and
being the first game some of
the Newark players had seen,
the victory went to Searcy, 12
to 0. The second game was on
the local gridiron, between
Batesville and Newark. The
Batesville bunch outweighed
our team, and of course lambs
can do nothing with giants.The
result of that game was 24 to
0 in favor of Batesville. The
Newport on their ground. The
third game was played with
game was so “one-sided” it is
hard to descibe or tell about.
Rodman, our season’s star,
made a 95 yard dash without
any diffiulty. A game would
have been played with Bates
ville Hi last Saturday, but the
manager of the Batesville team
knew that Newark had practic
ed until they could easily win,
and they thought it would be
wiser to disband just before the
game with us. Mr. Isgrig has
proved a good coach in the
atheletic field as well as an in
structor in the school room.
The Win go’s met Frid ay eve n
ing at 7 :30. Most of the mem

Strong Indorsement of
Hon. Claude M. Erwin
Claude M. Erwin, our former
prosecuting attorney was in at
tendance at this term of circuit
court, and from the way the
people met and greeted him, it
looked like every man in Stone
county was his close personal as
well as political friend, and
glad to have him back with us
again.
Mr. Erwin deserves just such
treatment from a constituency
that appreciates careful, capa
ble and honest service. No man
who has ever held that office
gave more universal satisfac
tion.
He is a fine illustration ofthe
success of one who takes the
position that a public office is a
I public trust and that a public
servant should serve the people
by performing the duties of an
office according to law.
Mr. Erwin is a close student,
a fine trial lawyer, and a good
judge of the law. He is more
than even that. He is fair, hon
est, conscientious and a sober
gentleman, and one of the best
fitted and qualified men forthe
office of Circuit Judge from ev
ery view point that has offered
for that important office for
year.
The last Grand Jury he wait
ed on as prosecuting attorney,
incorporated in their final re
port and same was made a part
of the records of Stone county,
a fine indorsement of hisoffical
conduct, which was as follows:
“We desire to thank the court
and court officials for the cour
tesies shown us while deliberat
ing and especially, do we wish
to tender to Claude M. Erwin,
our efficient prosecuitng attor
ney, our thanks for the courte
ous and able manner in which
he rendered us service, and as
a part of the people of Stone
county, we sincerely desire to
commend him and extend to
him our indorsement and high
est appreciation at this, the
close of his administration in
Stone county, for the honest,
fearless and capable manner
in which he has ever enforced
the law throughout his entire
career as prosecuting attorney
and no matter what position he
may aspire to, he can count on
the loyal friendship and sup
port of the people of Stone
county and his district. We bid
him God speed.”
After such a record as he
made as a public official, and
the magnificient endorsement
of same, it would be both a sur
prise and disappointment to his
friends if he were not a candi
date for circuit judge, and he
does not hesitate to say that he
is going to make the race for
that office.—Stone County Rec
ord.
LOSS OF COAT CAUSE
