CHAPTER 8.

CHAPTER 8.
In those days the multitude being
very great, and having nothing to eat.
Desus called his disciples unto him
and saith unto them,
2. / have comp assion on the multi
tude, because they have now been with
me three days, and have nothing to
eat:
3. And if | send them away fasting
to their own houses, they will faint by
the waJ: for divers of them came
from far.
4. And Ais disciples answered him.
From whence can a man satisfy these
men with bread here in the wilder
ness
5. And he asked them, How many
leaves have We And they said, Sew
en-.
6. And he commanded the people to
sit down on the ground: and he took
the seven loves, and gave thanks and
brake, and gave to his disciples to set
before them; and they did set them
before the people.
7. And they had few small fishes
and he blessed, and commanded to set
them also before them.
8. So they did eat, and were filled:
and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven baskets. ~
8. And they that had eaten were
about four thousand: and he sent
them away.
10. And straightway he entered in
to ship with his disciples. and
came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
II. And the Pharisees came forth
and began to question with him, seek
ing of him sign from heaven, tempt
ing him.
~. And he sighed deeply in his
spirit, and saith, Why doth this gener-
alton seek after sign? verify l say
unto you, There shall no sign be given
unto this generation.
10. And he left them, and entering
into the ship again departed to the
other side.
IA. Now the disciples had forgotten
to take bread, neither had they in the
ship with them more than one loaf.
Is. And he charged them, saying
Take heed, beware of the leayen of
the Pharisees, and of the leaven of
Herod.
is. And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, 1t is because we
have no bread.
II. And when Jesus knew it, he
saith unto them, Why reason We, be-
cause We have no bread? perceive ye
not yet, neither understand? have We
your heart yet hardened?
10. Having eyes, see We not? and
having ears, hear We not? and do ye
not remember?

Many attempts aiso have been made
to kill King Alfonso of Spain. Six
of these efforts have been recorded.
On the last occasion the would-be
assassin chose the unique idea of
concealing bomb in bouquet OF
flowers, which was handed to the
king as he rode through the streets,
after military review.
Only one attempt to assassinate
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and
this was not confirmed. The alleged
incident was not related until long
after its occurrence. It was said
that the German newspapers were
forbidden at the time to publish the
story
SO far as known no attempt has
ever been made to assassinate King
George V of England. and no attacks
were ever reported on King Edward
VII or his mother, Queen Victoria.

NANouAhOi1t IIAISA ~ loS'J
One certain effect of the European
war that will cramp our manufacture
ing industries will be the iakilg of
thousands OF laborers who will return
to their native lands tor patr Otto
reasons, while immigration W., be
retarded and perhaps entirely stop
ped during the progress of he VAR
This will seriously affect TIE. cheap
labor market and will have a cores
pondlng l..fluence Oh the cost of
production in many lines Of indus
try.
The mines of the county will be
sufferers, for the Balkan states fur
nish thousands of cheap laborers for
the iron and coal mines in al parts
of the country. Thousands of Slays
are returning home by every posi-
BILE route, while none are imnlsrat-
ing. The possible involvement OF
Turkey will cut Off another Liz
source of labor supply. The nations
from whom We get our largest labor
supplies are now at war AMI Instead
OF receiving from them fresh Sup.
plies we shall lose to them large
numbers.
In this situation it looks like q
good time for congress 10 overhaul
our immigration laws and make such
revision as may seem necessary in
the tight of our experience in mimi
grafton during the period -iace the
civil war, which has witnessed sacl
change in the character Of oul

GOOD FROM WAR.

1t is not at all unlikely that the
war in Europe will eventually prove
OF benefit to the United States iii
that it will result in development OF
not only our ocean shipping but c:
manufactures.
And A. KANSAS should be one OF
the states to benefit most greatly.
There is going to be another era .or
the South; an era in which wilt 3e
constructed and placed in operation
great mills a-d factories; an era tha.
will see us manufacturing our cottCl
instead of sending the raw material
away and buying it back at greatly
in creased prices.
Within few days cotton mill
owner will visit Pine Bluff to in
vestigate conditions here with view
OF establishing in the city a factory
to manufacture cotton goods. Nego-
tations must be conducted through
the Chamber of Commerce-our army
Of proere5s. Let that patriotism
that would impel SO many Pine Bluff
iaIs to enlist to wage war if ine
nation We're threatened prompt the
extension OF united support of The
Chamber of Commerce in this ven
ture. Peace hath its victories ne
less than war" it has been truly
said, and the securing for Pine Buff
will reflect as much credit as any
heroic deed on the bloody field III
battle. And what's more it will be
the kind of accomplishment that
makes for prosperity and happiness
instead of poverty and sorrow.

FOOD PRICES AND THE WAR.

The sheculator is abroad in the
land, seking how he may add to his
dollars out of the needs of our peo-
ple. But not all of the many adj
vances recorded in food products are
due to him. Our own people agra
vate the trouble. by bidding against
each other for food. provision men
say that people that ordinarily buy
a bag of flour are laying in barrel,
and those who usually take a pound
or two of sugar take large bag. All
this puts money in the wholesalers
pocket.
Competition among retail trades
men is sharp. Almost any merchant
would rather have the good will of
his community than charge his regu-
