Why Arkansans Are Inter- ested in the Prosperity of the Railroads of Ark- 'Q11SQS.

The enormous loss sustained by business generally and by every citizen of Arkansas through the decreased buying power of the rail- roads is strkingly illustrated by the great falling off in the past year in the purchases by the rail- roads of lumber ties, ping and other forest products.
 On the lines of six of the principal roads traversng the state of Arkansas the loading of railroad ties for 1914, compared to the previous year, records a decrease of $500 This means that approximately 3,SO0OOO less ties were bought. There are over 1000,OOO ties as- sembed the right of way of railroad in Arkansas or in the hands of the producer which the railroad is unable to purchase and more than another million reported to be the right of way of other roads awaiting purchaser About 70 per cent of these are ties that have been hewn by farmers. Of course the railroads have use for these ties and would like to pur- chase them, and thereby help the farmer and
 
 unable to do so
 A statement from one-car building company alone shows that under normal conditions they purchase annually 3OO,OOO,OOO feet of lumber for use in the construction of railroad cars costing $9,0OO00O. The building plants of this one company, located in the St. Louis district use 100Io00,000 feet of lumber yearly at d cost of $3O0O0O0 while they are buying practically no lumber under the present conditions. A very large portion of this lumber is purchased in the state of Arkansas, and the enormous shrinkage in consumption has almost palz,lyzed the lumber in- dustry of this state
 For the twelve months ending October, 1914, six railroads in this Western district show de- crease of $6,O00.000 in their pay rolls, compared with previous year. Railroads must retrench in every department and at the same time ,endeavor to retain their organization, hoping and believing that the people will come.to their rescue and place them in position to make bette1ments and ex- tensions and to enabe' the manufacturers to pro- vide employment for hundreds of thousands of men now out of work and formerly employed in industries which supply the railroads.
 Mr. Citizen of Arkansas the restoration of the three-cent rate. twill mean much for the pros perity of the railroads and the prosperity of the railroads means prosperity for the entire, indus trial system of your state

MISS JULIA LATHROP
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 6.
I'VE cant let babies die and
then blame the result on Divine
Providence!" So said Julia Lath.
rop, chief of the cnildren's bu-
reau of the department of labor,
summing up the reasons why the
bureau is going to promote a
national-wide Baby Week, March
A to IL 1916.
81 do believe" said Miss Lath-
rop, that the whole question
with the children of the race is
that We have always taken for
granted that the children are the
business of Providence, whereas
really this is the one thing which
Providence particularly demands
that we shall give attention to
ourselves.
1--WE know now that If we just
obey these laws we can keep the
babies alive.
1.-THE Children's Bureau Week
is to be the first general, popu-
lar expression of the new scien-
tific attitude of prevention rather
than cure as applied to infant life.
Science has no value unless 1t
is applied to life," said Miss La
throp. "And the Children's Blu
reau has no values unless we can
gather the information, prepare
1t in ineligible form, and get 1t
to the people who want it and
who need it,"
The movement for, Baby
Week was launched by the
General Federation of Wom-
ems clubs, which means that
It started with a million of
the most alert and intelli-
gent women I'm the country.
Miss Lathrop said that the bu-
reau is ready to cooperate with
any community in the country
that wants to hold a BODY Week.
Forty-one state health officials
have already written to the bu-
reau offering their help in pro-
noting Baby Week in their states.
Many other officials and organi-
cations are asking the Children's
Bureau to let them help In tho

Complaining that the city coun-
Gil was treating the movies un-
Justly by the new license act, and
that many shows might have to &c
out of business, a committee OF
motion picture managers appear
ed at the city hall today.
The increased license rate for
theaters exhibiting higher-priced
films occasionally, together with
another feature that demands a
one-cent-per-seat license per
month for all movies, In addition
to the other tax, caused the most
centered criticism.
Prominent in the delegation
were III. T. Moore, manager of the
Colonial, e. L. Davenport, of the
Liberty, and II. r. Burg, of the
Shell.
1--WE can't help it II we have
to charge 20 or 25 cents for some
pictures, declared Manager
Moore, who acted as spokesman.
1.-THE film producers charge us
such high rate for the big fea-
ture films that we are forced to
increase our prices occasionally.
We have to do it, or lose money.
On the other hand, the public Is
willing to pay slightly increased
price for the big features. You
never hear any complaint. The
mbvie fans realize the cost Of
producing a big picture, and are
willing to pay more for 1t.
