CARLISLE IS DAMAGED
BY SMALL TORNADO
Dye Martin’s Drug Store j
Among Buildings Damag
ed by Storm Tuesday
Carlisle, April 20,—Carlisle
was visited by a small tornado
which came from a southwest
ern direction at about 7:45
o’clock this morning. It <1 id
its first damage just south'of
town, when it blew down the
fence and damaged a number
of trees in the ball park. It
then struck Joe Larkins’ dray
wagon and carried the bed
nearly a block. While Mr.
Larkin was painfully bruised,
he was not seriously hurt.
The east side of the John
I). Martin drug store was
blown off and part cf the root
of the Westerfield hotel, while
the guests were eating break
fast. The top was also blown
from a box car at the west end ;
of the depot. The wooden
awning at the postoffice was j
*
blown down and considerable j
damage was done to the Ever
ton building, on the opposite
side of the street. A number
of large trees in the path of
the storm \vere broken off and
filled the street near the Wes
terfield hotel with brush.
After the excitement had
subsided, Mayor Griffin, ac
« ompanied by A. R. Guthridge
of Little Rock, made a hurried
trip in a southwestern direction
from town, but found only mm
• or damages done to trees and
small barns. It is believed
other damage was done north
east of town, as the tornado
was headed that direction. A
large number oi‘ the citizens of
the town soon gathered about
the hotel and Martin’s Drug
store, viewing the pile of brick
and debris at the corner of
Front ‘and Court streets. No
one was hurt, as far as can be
learned, except the drayman
mentioned.

CO-OPERATIVE MARK
ETING BY FARMERS
SUCCESS IN ILLINOIS
A report of the Illinois Agri
cultural Association that!
should be of interest to farm
ers everywhere, shows that co
operative marketing has been
a great success for the wool1
growers of that state.
Some of the distictive feu
t . *s cf the 1920 Illinois wool
pool according to officers of
the live stock marketing de
■ partment of the Illinois Agri
‘ cultural Association, were:
’ The attracting of nation-wide
■ interest to Illinois as a wool
, marketing state, even though
the state stands seventeenth in
the Union in wool growing.
The sale of the various grad
es of wool in the pool at prices
averaging about 26 cents a
pound, when for months after1
the clip there was no market
cr a market so feeble as to be
prohibitive.
The making of a hundred
thousand pounds of farmers’
wool intf blankets and auto
robes.
The recent movement for the
making of farmers’ v$ool into
suits and overcoats.
In addition the wool pool has
proved that farmers can co
operate and market their pro
ducts with the same efficiency
as manufacturers.

With Oil But Firebug Left
No Clue
Newport, April 22.—At 3:30
o’clock this moring fire almost
completely destroyed the Cap

It is believed the fire was of

ng indications that the pipe or
gan, near the stage was satu
rated with coal oil and that oil
was poured in the aisles. Seats
had been covered with it also,
it is said.
The booth was not burned,
though it was damaged, and J
15,000feet of film was not dam n
aged. The entire east end of
the building was ruined, and
seats and fixtuers were dam
aged by the heal and water.
The building was owned by
H. C. Sanders who carried
$10,000 insurance. He has not
estimated his logs. The fixtures
were owned by R. T. McGibben
operator of the theatre, who
has $5,000 insurance. His net
loss is $6,000.

at about the same hour, and
with similar weather conditions
prevailing, the Strand theatre
