WAR WORKS FOR THRIFT.

"War has sobered our people be- fore to revival of personal thrift and may do so again." says bulle- tin in the American Society for Thrift from its Chicago headquarters, adding:
 "The extravagant spirit is fostered by such an outpouring of new wealth from the natural riches of our new country as we have witnessed in recent years, but grim war or rumors of war may help bring our prodigal nation to it's senses"
 The christening of diversity has been seen in the economies adopted by the railroads in these days of severe retrenchments. Commenting on this the Investor said:
 Since the railroads of the United States have reached the period of heavy decline in earnings, they have been forced to become thrifty ana to carry the practice of thrift into eff feet in comprehensive way which no individual can even approach. '~ees"As a matter of fact the science of the art of thrift or whatever one might wish to call it now reaches perhaps its highest developments in some of the railroads. Not long since it was calculated that filling every freight car to it's capacity the coua- try over would increase the gross revenue of American railroads $75,- O00,0O0. The problems of efficiency in the loading and hauling of freight are being worked out with minute detail never before known, and this thor oughness has been extended to all branches of railroad service"

D INE BLUFF O ROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
OUR VISITORS

Pine Bluff experiences pride and pleasure in acting as host to the educators and students of the state who will participate ia the scholastic contests and athletic competitions to- day, tomorrow and Saturday, and to the Little Rock business men who will be here for short time this afternoon on the fag-end of Whlrl- wind, excursion to number of towns in the state.
 Pine Bluff feels honored that it should have been selected for the state gathering of leading educators, who are foremost in all movements and work intended to benefit the state and increase the efficiency of its peo- ple and the hundreds of students of today who will be the generals and captains of tomorrow in the steady march of progress Arkansas is mak- ing in industry, commerce and edu- cation.
 Nothing would please the people of Pine Bluff greater than to declare a three-day holiday and devote all at tention to entertaining the visitors, but this is impossible for commerce. industry-business cannot be sus- pended for even a day in city the size of Pine Bluff. The necessities of the hour must be met, even at the expense of desire to show apprecia- tion of honor bestowed. An indica- tion of the spirit of Pine Bluff will be found in the closing of business houses this afternoon, in the clo<,ing of public schools, in the decoration of places of business. in the naming of committees to entertain the visitors and of the general attitude to make the stay of all pleasant and profit able.
 Pine Bluffians want to meet as many of the visitors as possible; :; would like to tell all of the great city and territory here, and be told of the aims and purposes of the edu- cators and of the ambitions and plans of the young people.
 Pine Bluff hopes it's efforts to please will be successful; that its desire to show appreciation will be seen, and that the stay of each and every visitor will be so filled with pleasure that only the fondest recol- lections will ever be associated with Pine Bluff in the mind of the visi- tor.

change in rates is made and no mark ed improvement of the carrying trade develops. It is significant that the proposal for the increase does not rouse the indignant protest that would have greeted it a few years ago. A few papers and magazines de- clare that the railroads are lying when they say they are losing money, and others say that the newspapers that are not bowling against the rail- roads are subsidized. The majority of the newspapers of the country, however, take conservative and liberal view of the rate question. They are disposed to take the state- ments of the railroads at their face value, believing that the pen who are at the head of great railroad systems are no more prone to lying than other business men. As for the criticism that the railroads have subsidized newspapers, that is worth no more than passing notice.
 The trend of popular feeling is toward giving the railroads fair treatment, toward giving them in- creased rates if they need it or cut ting the rates if it can be done farily.

BAD ROADS REDUCE SCHOOL
 ATTENDANCE

Census reports show that in 1909 there were 24,000,000 children in the United States of school age, but that only 17,500,000 were enrolled in the public schools. This would indicate that there are several million children who are deprived for one reason or another, from obtaining an education, and there is no doubt that large number of those are prevented from attending school on account of bad roads. Furthermore, many schools in the country districts are closed for varying periods on account of the impossible condition of the roads, and many of the schools which are not closed have nominal percentage of attendance. 4es
 While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of com ment that in the states having a high percentage of improved roads, much larger percentage of the students en- relied, regularly attend the schools than in teh states having small percentage of improved roads. In five Eastern and Western states which

OsPO - POPULATION GROWS

That the population of the United States has increased more than seven millions during the past three years is the statement of the census bureau which has just issued figures show ing that the population on July 1, 1914, will be 9S,7S1,324, as compared with 91 1,972,266 on April 15, 1910. In- cluding the peoples of the different possessions, this country has a popu
 lation oi 1O9,0OO,OOO. -t
 Arkansas will have a population on July 1 of 1,6S6,4S0 if the per cent of increase does not exceed the estimate of the federal census bureau experts. On April 15, 1910, the date of the
 last federal census, the population
 of this state was reported as 1,574, ,449, figure under the actual population and which showed an increase of 20
 per cent during the preceding de- cade. The density of population in
 Arkansas to the square mile is given
 as thirty. Little Rhode Island has
 sos persons to every square mile of territory, and is not nearly as well adapted to maintaining that number as Arkansas is to furnish comfortable
 living to twice that number. This is
 mentioned simply to show there should be no let up in the efforts to induce immigration to Arkansas
 through apprehension that this state cannot maintain in comfort all the millions that may be induced to come here if they are convinced if the ex- isting possibilities for wealth, health and comfort in this state

The percentage of increase ir the Pine Bluff population since 191t census is. about 33, but this ratio will likely be increased by the addition to Pine Bluff industries several biz establishments now being negotiated

HAMMERING THE RAILROADS

There sis growing disposition on the part of the general public to let up d little on indiscriminate muck raking and particularly on that part of it that has been directed against the railroads.

SPRING TONIC

Ih April the patent medicine" tonic flOurishes. As the first warmth of spring brought feeling of lassitude the farmers wife in older days would go searching through the woods for "yarbs" from which to make brew as tonic for the whole family. The city man, feeling the laziness of Spring fever" coming over him, brought from the corner drugstore a Accent packages of "Old Doc" Some body's spring tonic, consisting of the same "yarbs," liberal dose of pure alcohol, and perhaps a touch of strychnine.
 But things are changing; there are not so many taking Spring tonics" as in the older days. Men have learn ed, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, that the best spring tonics are the gifts of a bena- ficelt Nature. A fu1l breath of fresh spring air, brisk walk along a grass-grown road, plunge into the cool waters of the old swiming-hole if the water is pure and cold-or the morning shower if in the city, green food, or the pursuit after a bounding golf-ball over a springy course-those are real invigorators, true tonics.

have large mileage of improved roads, the average attendance of en- rolled pupils in 190S-9 was so per cent; while in four Southern states and one Northwestern state which are noted for bad roads, the average at tendance for the same year was GA per cent-S0 per cent ill the good roads states as against GA per cent in the bad road states. In the states first named, 8 per cent of the roads have been improved, while in the lat ter group of states there are only 12 per cent of the roads improved.
 Good Roads Help School.
 That improved roads would beneht our country school system, there would seem to be no doubt. 1mprov- ed roads make it possible to consoll- date or centralize the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally lo- cated will accommodate all of the children within a radius ct. from four to five miles. In many communities having the advantage of improved roads. commodious buildings have been provided, more competent teach CTS have been employed, and modern facilities for teaching have been sup piled at minimum cost. For in stance, since the improvement of the main highways in Durham county North Carolina, the number of school houses has been reduced from 65 tc 42, of which IT are graded and have two or more rooms, and employ two or more teachers.
 Movement Toward Consolidation.
 There are at the present time abou 2,000 consolidated rural schools il the United States. It appears tha Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana hav made the greatest progress alon, these lines, and it is rather significan to note that in these states about one third of the roads have been improv cd. According to statistics of the az ricultural department, there was ex pended in 1899, $22,116 in Massa chusetts for the conveyance of pupil to consolidated schools, but in 190 the expenditure for this purpos amounted to $292 213. In Indiana, tn expenditure for this purpose in 190 amounted to $86,00O, while in 1908 $290,0OO was expended. This expendi ture for transportation reflects, in
 general way, the extent and progres of this new educational movement. l must not be understood that this an additional burden, as the expendi ture thus made is save in other direc tions-that is by the decrease in tn number of schools and economy i their operation.
 In Indiana, Massachusetts, Ohio an other states, the one-room one-teach CT schools are being replaced by cen tral school houses, with a half-doze rooms and as many teachers. Wag ons are sent out every day to gathe up the children and to take then home again in the evening. All o the children within radius of sever al miles are thus provided with th most modern school facilities. Il some of these schools, courses il manual training, agriculture and hom economics have been introduced, sci entitic apparatus utilized, and teach CTS having special qualifications an, training employed.
