"NOT FOR PUBLICATIONS"

A substantial citizen of Pine Bluff
writes The Graphic:
"Keep up the fight for milk inspec-
ton, which is one of the most I'M
portant laws that could be made by
any city. You are to be highly COM
mended in your position. Save the
babies!'"
AS the writer noted that the ex'
preston was mot for publication
his name is omitted.
1t is cause for regret that so few
people will openly espouse such
good cause. Great good could be ac'
complshed by the newspapers, if the
good people would lend their mora
support to movements intended te
benefit the city and its people.
Unless this support is forthcoming
the newspapers are greatly handl
capped in their efforts to better con
ditions for the public. 1T woulf
seem that the people would aid in any
fight in their behalf, but there is gen
eral reluctance to take a stand in thu
open.
Until this attitude is abandoned
the public cannot hope to obtain al
the benefits and advantages to DC
secured through cooperation witt
and open support of the press in cam
paigns for betterment of conditions

The abandoned farms of New
England, deserted by a generation of
farmers that migrated. to western
lands, have been made fertile and
productive by Canadian and Euro
pean immigrants, whose ancestors
A have titled the soil intensively for
centuries and know how to make it
yield crops. 'e
Of the S7S,7os,325 acres of farm
land in the United States, but 49,
4,1,750 acres are now improved,
leaving 4O0, 34o,575 acres unimproved.
These farms average 1873 acres, with
ST acres improved and IS acres I'M
Improved.
That there is national awakening
to the great waste in land and forests
Is evident, however. Recently at the
Banker-Farmer conference held in
Chicago it was demonstrated that
fabulous profits have resulted from
the rehabilitation of abandoned and
WORKOUT farms.
A woman, Mrs. G. H. Matthias of
Montgomery, Ala, who was en-
ployed by the Alabama Bankers as
ISOLATION as a travelling lecturer to
explain to the farmers how they can
improve their crops was the geni''s

saw, and the entire Austro-German
line between the Vistula and the Bug
is pressing northward, attacking the
Russians at all points. To the east,
in the vicinity of Cholm, according
to Berlin advices, the army of Cen
eral Won Mackenzen is engaged in a
tremendous endeavor to break
through in the direction of Brest-Li-
tevsk, and cut off the retreating Rus
SLAMS.
The Russians are cut off from re-
treat from the south, and it is purely
a. matter of speculation how many
will succeed in retiring from the Lub-
lin-Cholm line to the new Brest-Li-
tovsk defenses, in view of the great
pressure being excrted by the Ger
mans, and the fact that their import
ant strategic railroad has been lost.

NATION.
Oiling streets is a comparatively
modern invention. Early in the his
tory Of this nation it was an accept
ed municipal form that all streets had
to be paved, and when it was impos-
sible to furnish expensive smooth
paving, the hideous cobbe stones
were resorted to.
Thus New York City first was
paved with cobble stones, and as
matter Of fact, the smoother pave
ment the metropolis now sports
rests in large part upon the earlier
cobble stones, which it was not nee
essary to tear up, they being merely
used as base for the smoother paw
ing.
Baltimore, and some other eastern
cities, has not yet quite recovered
from the cobble-stone era yet.
Progressive western cities and
towns, however, early decided that II
they could not afford to pave their
streets with smooth paving material
they would not pave at all. Hence In
most of them one finds plentltude
of dirt streets, which are good
enough for ordinary traffic but ter
ribly dusty in summer.
The use of oil to keep down the
dust Is getting into greater use every
year.

BECKER STATEMENT sFUZZLES.

II am sacrificed to my friends" is
sentence in Becker's last Statement
thpat puzzles. Did the former a sDalce
lieutenant mean he could have pur-
chased, lift by disclosing his partners
in the, police graft game, but pre-
ferted to die rather than do. SO. or did
he mean that his friends sacrificed
him to save themselves? Perhaps
time will shed light On the enigma.
That Becker did not confess to in
stigatiig the sRosenthal murder was
doubtless disappointment to many,
and, presuming that the conviction
was Just, the explanation Of this may
be in a desire to shield and provide
for his widow. Becker, perhaps, pur-
chased by silence financial aid for
his widow, who remained loyal to the
end.

EVIDENCE. OF RETURNING
PROSPERITY.

Evidence Of returning prosperity to
those sections, which, for "a time suf-
fered from business depression, is
giNtn In last weeks issue of the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
which prints list of new enterprises
being launched to take care of new
business.
Among those mentioned is the con-
struction at Charleston, S. c., Of the
first coal-shipping pier constructed
thsre and to be put in operation
within few weeks. 1T was built by
the Southern railway at cost OF
500 ,000 and the Record says: Eat
the same city another coal pier of
lsrge capacity is under construction
by. the Clinchfield road"
Among other investments mention
cd by the Record are:
The Maryland Steel company of
Sparrows Point, Md, by reason of the
activity in its shipbuilding depart
lFSiltS ID - wa AAA6 AOi uA SNP>AAAtuAS
Of $1,OOO,O0O for improvements.
A Knoxville concern has received a
99,OOO,O00 order for war materials,
while smaller orders have been taken
by number of other Southern con-
Germs.
At Savannah a 100000 company
has been organized for developing
lac. 900 acres of timber land IN
Florida.
A 100000 company has been in
corporated to build a hydro-electric
plant in North Carolina.
A Dalton (Ga.) cotton mill has
awarded contract for additions to it's
plant at cost of about 100000, ana
q 100000 company has been organ
lied at Athens, Ca, to build Knit
ting plant.
A Florida drainage district contem-
plates an expenditure of 100000 for
draining 100000 acres of land in
Sumter, Lake, fernando and Pasco
counties, construction to include from
80 to so miles of canals.
From many points in the South
there comes reports of increasing In
dustrial activity as indicated in these
items. which show something of the
variety and extent of few of the
larger undertakings reported for the
week.
Manufacturers everywhere in the
United States appear to be preparing
for volume of business beyond any
ever handled. Southern manufactur-
ers are not tagging, and this is most
encouraging. Additional business Is
sure to come to this section. and
Pine Bluff will benefit accordingly. In
the meantime, local manufacturers
should NOT neglect the opportunity te
develop trade at home-even rish'
here in Pine Bluff. 1t has been shown
that Pine Bluff people desire to use
home products, but few are familiar
with the goods manufactured in Pine
Bluff. They buy goods made else
where because they have been in
formed about them through Favorable
publicity.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President Ame,iean Society for Thrift

who worked the transformation in
values. She is a geologist and soil
chemist, and knows before beginning
what the soil lacks. Five times Mrs.
Matthias has bought WORKOUT farms,
some of them enormous plantations,
paying usually not more than SIS per
acre. Then, by proper fertilization,
rotation of crops, raising of live
stock, she has transformed them into
fertile acres and has sold them from,
ten to thirty. times the amount itlr.S
vested. "a ~. IN
We are just beginning to know
that we have much to learn from the
Europeans in the outstanding of re-
sources. We are learning our les
sons from the stories of the war that
is now devastating Europe. Day
after day the press reports impart
the knowledge Of the value of thrift
when early instilled. Our CORE
spondents marvel at the remarkable
evidences of this Unborn virtue
If the peoples of these countries
are schooled in thrift, lacking az
many of them do the advantages Of
education, how much easier it would
be for our people to lead the world
lin the ways of thrift, having all the
advantages of the experience of our
old world peoples, rand of scientific
education and training at our COM !
mand.
Another laudable step toward the
reduction of the national land waste
is the movement to use the convicts I
to build roads so that arabl9 lands
may be opened for settlement.
Many of the Western States now
have laws permitting them to use this
labor. California is the latest state
to pass such a law and expects to
place 1900 convicts in road making
through the mountains where there
arc 100000 acres of arabic land on
the eastern plateau of the Sierras

The CHARM
OF HE:RHO0D
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard TO health or
beauty. the unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
