Must Pay Subscription.

Congress recently passed very stringent law, and one that interferes with our personal rights, which says that newspapers cannot be mailed at
 the second class pound rates 10 sub scribers who are more than twelve
 months in arrears. We have a large
 number of friends and patrons who have neglected to pay their subscrip- tion accounts, or for one reason or an other, have allowed them to run over and come within the prescription of the law. For this and other reasons, the business office of The Times is mail ing out a few 'duns' this week to de- linquent subscribers. In this connec- tion we desire 10 impress the fact up- on all who receive these little re- minders, that the law will compel us eo discontinue the paper to their ad- dress unless they pay up, and besides we NEED THE MONEY. There is no use getting mad and flying off the
 handle when you get these little sub scrlption accounts, because the law demands payment or discontinuance, and we cannot work for nothing, and II you want to aid us in getting out a paper that you, as we'll as everybody else, will appreciate, you must pay what you owe. If you find anything wrong about the account, don't "cuss, '' fume, and call us robbers, and all the names you can think of, but bring your grievance to this office and let s adjust the matter like friends, settle up the account and start the new year of 1913 with a clean slate. As stated above, we need this money
 Don't throw the statement you re. ceive aside and dismiss the matter from your mind, because if you do

We are ready to stand the rough handl

Tie indicat ions are for little spel of bad weather. The fall has been perfect for gathering crops and doingl all kinds of outside work, but some are behind yet, and it behooves them 10 get very busy if they would get through before the weather inter- Heres. Farmers seem to be little more hopeful lately that the yield of cotton will be some larger than was predicted a month or six weeks ago. The price remains about the same, though there was sharp decline the first of last week, and fluctuations are keeping those who deal in futures quite unsettled

Already, in fact before the ballots got cold, there were several rumors Of prospective candidates for the post mastership in this city, under the new democratic administration. Among the number that we have heard mentioned is Col. V. B. Izard, Squire Ellis Hurley, and Admiral F. NJ. Chaney All of these gentlemen have been identified with the party all their lives, and each has noble following of unchanging friends.

 There Is a movement on foot to open Forrest street to traffic. This is one of Forrest City's prettiest and most convenient thoroughfares and it is imperative that 1t should be opened The Rock Island railroads s part in this improvement seems to be the building of viaduet over it's tracks at the crossing near the site of the old waterworks plant In discussing the opening of this street recently be- lore the city council, Mayor Scott turned the proposition over to a citi- zens committee composed of MeSsrs. W. l.. Lawrence, A. c. Bridewell and Charles Norton. At the same time City Attorney Walter German was authorized to take the matter up with the proper Rock Island railroad off. cials- Both the citizens committee and the city attorney are now engag- ed in an effort to discharge the com mission placed upon them by the city, but up 10 this time the railroad com pany has been unresponsive. The Times is of the opinion, however, that the Rock Island will do its part in this important work when the matter is thoroughly presented We will go into this yiaduct proposition more fully next week.

 MT. Geo. w. Kirby, the truck man, has our thanks for mess of excellent snap beans last week, which were fine and greatly enjoyed. Also he gave us bunch of nice crisp radishes and dozen red ripe tomatoes. He picked the tomatoes before the frost, and laid them away carefully in his cellar, packed in cotton seed hulls. They ripened nicely, and he is now supply ing the market with home grown ripe tomatoes, feat that was never known here before He says he lives and learns, and has something new 10 learn every day. And that is true of persons in all walks of life who seek improvement and progress. Ne ap- preciate Mir. kirby's kindness, and wish him success in all his under takings.
 Scarcely week passes but what there is great deal said about good roads, and the names of quite a num- Der of our citizens have been mention ed in connection with road improve ment in one way or another. There is one man, however, whose name is very seldom mentioned, but who is perhaps entitled to as much or more credit for the good roads of this coun- ty than any other one man that we can think of and this man, as the readers of The Times already know, is none other than Jake Taylor, super intendent of the county road makers, who puts in his time in actual road work. There is not more practical road man in the state than Jake Fay Tor: and while we may be just the least bit tardy in throwing him bo- quet. we want to make it strong, and we want to let him know through these columns that the people are ap- preciating his splendid work on the public highways Of St. Francis county.

NO DANGER IN MoUTHPIEcEs
Investigation Shows Communicative
Of tuberculosis by Use Of Tele-
phones Is Unlikely.

An investigation made in Eng
land to determine the possibility of
the communication of tuberculosis
through the use of telephones seems
to show that such infection is prac-
tically impossible. The experiments
were ordered by the postmaster gen.
teral, who appointed DR.. H. Spitta of
st. Georges hospital, London, and
bacteriologist to the king, to make
the experiments.
A number Of telephones, which
had been in use in busy London Of
fees for various periods, and had
received no cleansing treatment
other than that normally given such
phones, were first tested. Washings
were prepared from the mouth
pieces and tests were made by the
incubation of guinea-pigs to ascer-
tain whether tubercle bacilli were
present. The mouthpieces were
shown to be free from these bacilli,

MYSTERY in RUN OF TIDES


The townsman whose acquaint-
hnce with the silvery sea is usually
confined to that made during his
summer holidays finds the question
Of the tides most puzzling. He knows
that the tides rise and fall twice in
twenty-four hours, and that they are
affected by the moon, and there his
knowledge ends.
AS a matter Of face, tides vary
considerably. Round about our own
coasts are to be found some of the
most terrible and dangerous tidal
races and currents in the world ; they
are due to the presence of so much
narrow, broken land.
Out in the open ocean the speed Of
the waves is amazing, but nearer
land tides travel far more slowly.
Down south the attraction Of the
moon raises an enormous wave that
courses round the world from Cape
Horn to the Cape of Good Hope, I'M
broken by intervening land.
Off the west coast of Scotland
there is a whirlpool known as the
"Caldron of the Spotted Seas, =
where the tide races at the speed Of
a mountain torrent. On the River
Amazon, again, the tide forms 8
moving wall of water thirty feet
high, and reaching from bank tC

MOST COSTLY OF JOURNALS


The Eliminated newspaper" issued
by a French firm for display in NOV
ing picture establishments is said to
be the most costly newspaper issued,
from the standpoint of the subscrib-
.er, as one Of these reels costs many
dollars. These films are very popu-
lar with a certain class Of patrons
of the movies" They are edited
in much the same manner as the
typical newspaper. A corps Of oper-
ators is kept in constant touch
with many sources Of news. AS soon
as a promising tip reaches him, the
editor sends one, two or as many
men as he thinks necessary for the
purpose. Frequently the three films
are patched together to make one
complete reel. Correspondents are
maintained at different points, and
these are assigned by telegraph to go
to certain points where their serv-
ices may be needed. Mine explo-
sions and railroad accidents are re-
garded as particularly attractive
features, and men are sent at once
to these whenever they are reason
ably accessible. Pictures Of the de-
bris and the work of removal are
always objects of interest to patrons
Of the movies"
