People Also Interested.

But while the newspaper men will profit from the operations of Act No. 3, the people of Arkansas will also profit. The benefits that will accrue to the State are vast in comparison with the benefits to the Press. The newspapers will give the state value received They are not asking for graft They have proposed in Act No. fair exchange of advertising space for some of the peoples money, trade which they believe will be the most profitable investment the State of Ar kansas ever made. IT the Press did not believe Act No. was a good in- vestment for Arkansas, the Press would be the last institution in the state 10 propose and urge it upon the people"
 Here the brief indulges in casual review of the history and deyclopment of Arkansas and of the part the news papers have played in that progress. II also discusses the duty of the state to its Press and the duty of the Press to its state, Further along 1t says:
 The Press Must Be Free.
 The Fayetteville Daily said recently in discussion of Act No. 3. What Arkansas most needs is a free and in- dependent Press and an economical administration of the affairs of state The best way to insure an economical administration of affairs is to rout the grafters through publicity. And one of the good ways to make the Press free and independent is for the public to support it Loyalty, so that it will be at TO time dependent upon. or tempted to turn to, designing politi- clans and other evil influences for it's existence.
 But. to be free and independent. the Press needs no patronage for which it cannot render value received It asks the state to incur no expense that should not be incurred. It coun- sells tho closest economy, and advises no publicity at public expenea that the state should not have. and that it's constituents are not entitled to- It is asking that the state recognize the newspapers hy having such publica- tions, as it requires, made in the news papers of Arkansas, rather than

 TAXES PROMISED
BRIEF ISSUED ON ACT NO. 3 SAYS PEOPLE WILL PROFIT BY
 ITS ADOPTION.
NEWSPAPER MEN BOOST IT
Frankly Admit Their Interest and Tell Why Voters Should Make 1t
 State Law.

The Publicity Committee of the Ar kansas Press Association has just is- sued 32-page briet in behalf of Act No. 3, known as the Publicity Bill, which will be voted upon under the mi tiative and Referendum at the Septem- Der election. This measure was inl- tiated bS the Press Association with the signaturessof l7,s92 voters to the initiative petition, only l3,60O sigma lures being necessary under the l. x R. Amendment No. 10.
 The brief just issued is in the form of an address to the voters of Arkan- sas, and is an exhaustive review Of the provisions of Act No. 3, its needs and benefits as seen by the Arkansas Press Association.
 The brief begins with an admission on the part of the newspaper men of the state of their interest in the bill but points out that the benefits that will accrue to the state are vast in comparison with the benefits to the press" A thorough and frank discus sion of each section of the bill is given to the public. together with an esti- mate of the cost, but the newspaper men believe that the bill will reduce rather than increase taxes, by elimi- hating graft and extravagance and putting property on the tax rolls which hitherto has gone unassessed.
 The brief, in part, follows:
 
 Newspapers Financially Interested. "The newspaper men Of Arkansas admit their interest in Act No. 3. They will profit by 1t financially, if adopted by the people. The Arkansas Press Association has no disposition to shield it's interest. Arkansas news papers have always stood for the best interest of the state, and will continue to do so. They have condemned treachery in matters of legislation, as we'll as in other official circles, and they have consistently sought to in form the people accurately on every question Of public interest. The origin of. and the motive for, any public proposition. It's evils or benefits, and any private interests which might be involved, are all matters which the people should know, and the Press Of the state is not yet ready to turn from it's practice of informing the public fully and accurately. Therefore, we come to the people with an open and frank declaration that we, who initia- ted Act No. 3, are financially Inter ested in 1t.
 What is the extent of that interest? !?
 Act No. provides that all publi- cations made unCer it shall be made in the newspapers. and that the newspa- pers shall be paid for this service. In other words, the newspaper men of Arkansas are seeking to sell the state some of their advertising space. The purpose of this brief is to tell you how and why The question for you to decide is whether or not you want the space.

How to Circumvent Troublesome
Dampness.
There are to be had in the shops
small glass salt shakers that are fitted
with glass perforated tops that screw
into position. These are especially use
full In the damp days that always come
In the spring after the furnace fires
are first discontinued. for 1t is then
that salt becomes moist and sticky.
AS the salt collects the moisture in the
air 1t causes the silver top Of the salt
shaker to oxidize. Every housekeeper
knows that 1t is physical impossibil
ity to keep silver topped salt shakers
bright In damp weather, and this is the
reason. The little glass topped shak
ers obviate this trouble and are time
saving introduction.
There are many ways Of keeping sal,
from sticking in damp weather. One
way Is to mix the salt with cornstarcf
or -four; but. Of course. this weakens
the saline quality Of the substance II
the salt dish A better way is to pu
half dozen kernels Of rice In the sal
in each shaker. This rice absorbs. Il
some extent. the moisture and so keep
the salt moderately dry. 1t is hardly
expedient to use kernels of rice II
open salt dishes, and in these -four ol
cornstarch Is the best thing. 1t is ,
good plan to keep salt dishes Of al
descriptions in warm, dry place be
tween meals. This will do much Il
keep them from collecting dampness
The salt should be changed wheneve
1t seems sticky. II can be dried ant
used In cooking.
Cheesecloth bags filed with charcoal
which collects moisture. should be hum
about In damp places. The charcoa
can be dried In the oven from time t

FEEDING THE WARRING NATIONS.

Before fighting is well underway in Europe
the warning nations face the food problem ano
Germany and England are already feeling the
pinch. They are largely manufacturing nations
and require continuous inflow of provisions under
normal conditions. England buys from all tht
world, beef in America and Argentina. wneat IL
Russia India and America, and even butter from
Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
1t has been estimated that in case of gener-
al war, with shipping tied up as it is now, England
would be starving within thirty days. Liverpool
and Glasgow have reported food shortage, and
in Germany the government is fixing prices. which
had jumped 100 per cent in few days. France,
with large fertile area and able to imporl from
the Mediterranean countries, is in somewhat bet
ter position. Austria and Russia are essentially
agricultural and are in the best position to supply
themselves from home production. But should the
war be prolonged. famine will appear unless the
rest of the world is enabled to come to the rescue

CONCERNING MASTERLY INACTIVITY.

Some one has said. and said very sensibly,
Wisdom comes not so much from knowledge as
from the use that is made Of it," Tennyson has
said, knowledge comes but wisdom fingers.
Wisdom is simply well digested, and thoughtfully
applied knowledge. Not necessarily knowledge of
many things Discreetly applied knowledge of one
thing may be the highest wisdom. Now our people
know, for the results in other communities show,
organized combined and persistent effort will Sc
cure results of great value to the community. In
other words. if you want anything go after it;
don't sit down and wait for it. Comfortable,
hopeful, but non- productive. 1t is of no avail to
say wish we had another railroad; wish the
Tombgbee river was ten feet deep all the year
round; | wish the town was well paved and well
lighted. Wishing does no good; it is action that
counts.
This man makes net,
This man sits and wishes,
Would you like to bet
Which one gets the fishes"
And individual action counts for very little.
1t is the united, organized effort of number of
people directed to common purpose which counts
for efficiency. single individual is but single
stick. A banded number of individuals is the un-
breakable bundle of sticks. But bundle of sticks
is merely an illustration OF static power; we want
something more; dynamic force Something rov-
ing, doing. acting.
Now we are not knocking the town though a
little knocking does good at times. Columbus is
like many other towns; it is merely potential, not
p,tent. Not potent because it has done 81 little to
develop its possibilities. 1t has grown to what il
is because it couldn't help it. There has been very
