 HONOLULU, Oct. 9.-Months of un- remitting effort and unflagging patience have been rewarded finally by the salvage of the American gun boat Princeton which while return ing from a surveying expedition to her berth in Pago Pago harbor, the American Samoa, ran at full speed onto an unchartered rock, within a guns shot of the shore. The news was brought here today from Tutuila by the Oceanic steamship Company's liner Sonoma.

koeniasberq and Kant.

Koenigsberg did not treat it's most famous citizen, Kant, any too gener- ously in money matters. Barring the ten years spent as tutor in private families, Kant passed the whole of his long life in Koenigsberg. where he was born in 1724. During his early tenure of the chair of philosophy his sole emoluments consisted of f20 year, sack of wheat every month and sufficient firewood to warm his house in cold weather. On becoming rec tor of the university, only another
 G2O was added to his yearly stipend, so the greatest of all German philos- ophers was not much better of than the pastor of Goldsmith's Deserted Village" However, in the latter years Rants scanty means were supple mented by an annual allowance or e26 from the privy purse of Freder- ick the Great.-London Chronicle.

What's In a letter7

Names are always interesting, both in themselves and in their relations to their owners. Following the idea that we grow to resemble our names, or that the name after a while influences it's possessor a new idea has been started that the letters in the name are responsible for the mischief. Hence a name bearing a preponder- ance of As" makes the individual am bilious and fond of arts, Ana, Ada and Abraham come under this list. "B" leads to the spirituelle type, while "C'' induces vitality and long life. ID, such as David, shows common sense and the "E's'' are versatile, the 'F's" become wealthy and e" shows reserve and strength Of character. I'll" stands for endeayor, while such names as Millicent and William have to marry "Ts" and belong to Representative or quarrelsome types. On the other hand. "J' and TX" are good letters. and 'L" denotes a sweet temper. "N' gives nervousness, "T'' shows mentality, while "U" Is colorless in direct con trast to "W."

AFTER all the south will come out of this crisis much better oil than ever in it's history. We will have learned the lesson of real business economies which we should have learned years ago but which under the easy going" exclusive cotton raising system we could not break away from. From this time on there's going to be enough to eat and just a little bit more to sell, raised by the southern farmers. Honestly speaking the calamity is the greatest real blessing the Southern people have had in many a day.

SnoeiaI Road Districts For Monroe County

Now for a more business like method of handling the Road Tax funds of Monroe County.
 County Judge Trice in public meeting. a few weeks ago ex- pressed himself in favor of the Special Road Districts in Monroe County as the most practical and effectual method of solving the road question under the present rate of taxation.
 This is a splendid plan and one which is not new in Monroe County as the Holly Grove people have special district and they handle all of the taxes collected on propertywithin the limits of their district.
 It's up to Brlnkley to get busy and get a special district at the approaching legislature.
 Every citizen of the north end of Monroe County is interested in this and the Brinkley Business Mems League should take the matter in hand and push it to completion.

 Part Will You Pay?

The special war tax which will be in force in a few days will be far reaching in it's effect. While the greater part of the tax is to be paid by those who drink beer, whiskey and wines and use tobacco there are many other branches that come in reach of the special war tax and in order that all of the ARGUS readers may figure out just where it will hit them, we print below a list of those who will have to pay the tax.
 Those who buy and sell bonds or shares of stock.
 Those who give proxies for voting their shares.
 Those who buy and sell pro- duce and merchandise on the ex- changes.

Just About Town

'I can't understand for the life of me, why it is that Brink ley doesn't make city. l was in Jonesboro a few days ago and as I looked at their beautiful White Way" their magnificent business houses, public buildings and paved streets, my mind goes back to the time when only a few years ago Brinkley was a far better and more promising town than Jonesboro. can't understand who it is with Brink ley's unequaled railroad facili- ties, location, etc, that Jonesboro or any other town in Eastern Arkansas has pushed ahead of her. Can you tell me, MT. Editor?" thus spoke a promi- nent and successful business man to the ARGUS man yesterday.
 It might use too much space for me to answer this mans question in full, but some of the reasons are easy. In the first place Brinkley has the superior advantages necessary for the making of a city. We have the men and they have the ability to make things come to pass but t- but-well what's the use of say ing it? Let's look at Jonesboro. Before Jonesboro began to push ahead the leading men of that city got together on the matter "how to do things. They put out the saloons and then put out the blind tigers. They organ ized Jonesboro Business Mems Club who proudly advertise to the world "J,nesboro won't have saloons or blind tigers. There's no division of real busi- ness men on the whiskey ques- tion in Jonesboro. When this one dividing issue was disposed
 
 of it wasn't difficult to Make Jonesboro First" ]" (their city slogan Among the first things they did was to acquire for their city the ownership of the Water & Light Plant. Then, the Jones' boro people realized that i t would take real business men to conduct the affairs of their city and they elected for Mayor, Tom Burress, one of their most active. efficient and successful business men. Mayor Burress has been in office for number of years and he has had the satisfaction of seeing Jonesboro develope more rapidly than any other city in Eastern Arkansas. He stands for a clean town, on a business basis and each and every property owner has MADE BIG MONEY by having such a man as Mayor. A mechanic who owns his home in Jonesboro said to me T bought my property about eight years ago and paid $500. OO for it. Because of the splendid business men d methods who are pushing the municipal and business affairs in Jonesboro, they have advanced the price of my property so can get $3000. % for it now.''

THE HOTEL PROJECT.

Barre will soon have a $4,000 hotel.
4 II will be good asset for the thriving
city, which has long needed a hrst-class
hosiery Waterbury Record.
That observation ought to be amend
ed in only one particular-the hotel
which Barre proposes to have will be
more than $4,000 structure in all
probability. The initial amount OF stock
subscribed and paid in equals S5o,00o
On top of that is voluntary subscrip-
ton of over $1,000, which was secured
through the Barre Board of Trade to be
applied to the requirement OF the site
and in payment of incidentals prepara-
tory to building. Furthermore, It is the
general belief by the incorporators as
we'll as by the people of the city that
the completed cost Of the proposed struc.
ture will be somewhat more than the
s57 900 subscribed In short, the hotel
nromises to be building of which the
citv can well be proud and by means OF
which the prosperity OF the community
can be advanced materially. 1t will be
adequate and at the same time not too
large so as to remain partially idle at
some periods of the year; it will be
well arranged and comfortable, although
not furnished and finished in the style
of the richest hostelries. When the hotel
is completed Barre expects that with IT'S
addition to the present hotel accommoda-
tions the community will be prepared to
entertain all the visitors who may turn
their steps in this direction, and Barre
will take the steps to invite the people
of Vermont and out-of-state people as
well.
