RIVER PICKS UP
WATER IT LOST
White and Black Rivers Fell Thurs
day Night But Rose About
Eight Inches Yesterday.
The river is rising, but not alarm
ingly. Wednesday night White and
Black rivers fell about eight inches,
but yesterday they began to rise
again, picking up those eight inches
during the day, and last night White
river was reported to be rising very
slowly. In all, there has been a rise
of about seven feet in White river.
The ice is still holding fast, the
weather not having been warm
enough to allow it to thaw. A chan
nel was cut through the ice at the
Newport ferry, and the ferry is in
full operation.
The weather man has predicted
fair and warmer weather for tomor
row, and if he is correct, very prob
ably there will be a rise of a few
feet in White and Black rivers within
the next day or two. Unless there
should come a heavy rain there will
be no danger of the river spreading
over the farm lands.
There was no news yesterday con
cerning the condition of boats on
either White or Black river.
SUNDAY IS THRIFT DAY.
The text of a proclamation by Gov.
Brough calling attention to “Thrift
Day,” on February 3, was issued yes
terday at the governor’s office. The
governor points out the many advan
tages of the war savings certificates
and the lesson of economy thus
taught, and proclaims Sunday as
“Thrift Day” for the state.
According to Moorhead Wright, di
rector of the war savings campaign
for Arkansas, ministers over the
state will address their congregations
on Sunday on the subject of thrift,
and on Monday further observance of
the day will be taken up by the com
mercial interests of the state by buy
ing thrift stamps and organizing war
savings societies.
TURKEY’S POPULATION.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Amsterdam, Feb. 1.—For the first
time in the history of Turkey a com
plete census of the whole empire is
to be taken. A German statistician
has been appointed to superintend1 the
preliminary formalities. The Turk
ish newspaper Sabah says: “We are
the only nation in Europe not ex
cluding even the Balkan states, which'
possesses no official statistics of our
population.”
The estimated population of Tur
key before the war was roughly 21,
000,000 of which 7,000,000 were
Turks, 9,000,000 Arabs, 1,500,000 Ar
menians, 1,500,000 Greeks', 1,500,000
Kurds, and the remainder Druses,
Jews, and the smaller tribes. The
Turkish newspapers have recently
shown some anxiety as to the large
decrease in population lately caused
by the war and the prevalence of dis
ease, and have usged the government
to take steps to decrease mortality
and increase the birth rate.
