WORK 0F FLAMES IS
 QUICKLY OVERCOME
Kitchen and Dining Room at Bridge Burns in Morning and Are Re-
 built by Night.

A little thing like the destruction by fire of the kitchen and dining room at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, did not prevent the 200 CT more men em- plcyed by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron company, at the free bridge site, from taking their dinner within doors yesterday evening.
 All the cooking utensils, dishes and other contents of the frame building used as kitchen and dining room were totally destroyed by flames apout 8 o'clock yesterday morning, the ori- gin of the fire being unknown. By dint of hurrying around and getting necessities from the city, the men enjoyed a good breakfast outdoors yesterday morning, and hot lunch wax prepared and served the same way at noon. Dinner at 6 o'clock was cooked in a new kitchen and served iD g new dining room, in regular style.
 Immediately after the fire was ex- tinguished yesterday morning, the lccal department heads of the bridge company communicated with the city and ordered the material necessary fer the erection of buildings. The material was quickly on the ground, and a force of men was put to work, to such effect that everything was m spick- -and-span shape again lby the end of the day. The bosses and the employees alike were proud of the achievement, and received many com pliments from city folks who had heard of the fire and who visited the bridge site, only to see the new build ings under way. The loss through the fire amounted to something like G4O0 or $500

the worker temporarily idle. The habitual vagrant who lives in the community is seldom molested by officers who display unusual energy in rounding up itinerants that they may grab fees.
 There should not be any relaxation of enforcement of the vagrancy law because of Judge Philpot's order, and the conscientious constable and his deputies will not permit the order to interfere with them in the perform ance of duties they took oath to dis charge. Discretion should be used, that's all. The honest man seeking work should not be molested, but the "hobo," and the habitual idler should be arrested and convicted, irrespec tive of whether the arresting officer and the justice of the peace receive fees.
 There's more to the offices of justice of the peace and constable than e-grabbing, and those fit to hold these offices realize the fact. Judging from commendation of Judge Philpot's order from justices of tine peace and constables they all ap- preciate they have duty to the pub lie to perform as we'll as to serve themselves.

 U ROsPERITY
BUILDING OPERATIONS
 INCREASE

One of the signs of the times point ing to a return to industrial activity and to resumption of commercial prosperity on a scale greater than has existed heretofore is shown by the increase in building operations, as indicated by the demand for lumber.
 Discussing the lumber market situation in an optimistic tone, the Southern Lumberman of Nashville says in it's issue of November 21:
 The opening of the Federal reserve banks on Monday of this week and the consequent lOosening up, to a certain extent at least, of money and credit has been immediately reflected in increased building operations and the launching of projects which have been held back because of lack of funds for putting them under way. This is expected to influence lum- ber buyiaE more in the next few weeks than at present, and to be a large factor in the spring market Retail yards are. beginning to pre- pare to meet that demand. Railroad buying has also been somewhat more noticeable this week. but little can he sxpected from this source until some final disposition is made of the appeal of the Eastern roads for that , per cent advance in freight rates The export market is practically without change.
 Demand this week, as last, has come chiefly from the retail yards Dealers in the Central states, espe- cially. seem to realize that prices will not go lower and have begun to place orders accordingly. For the first time since the European war broke out speculative buying is in evidence and considerable effort to buy at present prices for delivery in Janu. ary or February is manifested Manu- lecturers, however, backed by the curtailment of production, which has now been more or less general for two months are not catering to that character of business. feeling confi- dent that the next sixty to ninety days will bring about considerably better values. No little buying. how ever, is being done at prevailing prices for immediate shipment.

Quit complaining about the catalog house getting your trade, or about your trade going somewhere else to buy. Remember you don't own this trade, and that to hold even what you have you must induce people to buy with you; induce them through quail ity goods and right prices sold by courteous, considerate sales people; induce them to your store by letting them know what you kaye for sale, and the prices asked. Don't expect peglS to spend their dime hunting for Hrticles they need, vainly believ- ing they will eventually reach your store. Because the catalog houses do not expect the people to be so foolish they have grabbed lot of your trade and amassed millions.

Pine Bluff has had things easy in the past. Trade has come unsolicited or with little effort. The time is nearly here, however, when the city will have to prove it is entitled to this trade; when the city must mean something moro than place to spend money. The people of the ad- jacent territory look to Pine Bluff to lead in movements for the benefit Of the country; for the benefit of the people. Unless Pine Bluff awakens to a realization of this attitude, it'll rouse up one day to discover that some other town has become to tine people Of this country all that Pine Bluff should be-but isn't.

SEND A BIT OF COTTON.

The plea from Vienna that there is no absorbent cotton in the city with which to dress the wounds of soldiers should meet with a hearty response by Americans. Small pack ages of absorbent cotton can be purchased in, any drug store for a few cents, and if sent to the Red Cross in Vienna, marked "Watte fur die Verwundette," will get there in three weeks and alleviate untold pain and suffering. Think of an entire city devoid of cotton, while thousands upon thousands of wounded soldiers suffer untold agony in hispitals for the lack of it. Imagine, fond parents, if your boy were one of them. You'd send a bale. It isn't something for
 pro-Germans to do, while pro-Allies folks sit idly by. It is thing that should be done for the benefit of hu- manity by everybody. And Christians, what would Christ do in such a case? :?

ENGLAND FEARS MEAT
WILL SOON BE LUXURY
Control Of Supply by American
Firms Worries Great
Britain.
Sasciq, Correspondence 10 ruE Sis.

L.oNpoS. June 5.-An examination OF
the position with regard to the existing
and prospect scarcity Of meat discloses
a number Of factors which make the out
look for the future serious. II present
conditions continue meat will within a
few years come to be regarded as a
luxury.
The increasing prosperity OF large
classes In different countries has reen-
forced the ranks OF the consumers Of
meat. Population has increased, while
the heads of cattle have In some coun-
tries-notably in the United States
shown considerable decline.
The supply of meat In England is
gradually being handed over to the con-
troll OF American organizations. The sole
source of chilled beef is now Argentina.
and the trade from that country Is pass
Ing into the hands Of American firms
whose working agreements permit them
to control not only the price but the
quantity OF meat that Is sent to ENGLAND.
Recently one whose knowledge OF the con-
ditlons Is undoubted predicted that within
two years the whole of the trade from
Argentina will he controlled by three
American firms. Working In concert they
would be able to dictate to Great Britain
the price to he palj.
Side by side with this ABSORPTION of the
foreisn trade by America there are condi-
lions at the London markets which make
the cost Of meat to the consumer higher
than 1t might otherwise he. The system
OF tolls Is stlll continued. Rents which
were liked AT two cents a foot n week arc
now doubled
