England is about to establish a
close bloci.ade of all coasts through
which Germany and Austria can get
supplies Of food for their armies and
war supplies of all kinds.
Germany, on the other hand, will
attempt to blockade the English coast,
SO as to prevent England from get
ting war supplies.
The great superiority of the Eng
lish navy indicates that the English
blockade of the German coast will be
successful, but it is by no means GER
tain that the German blockade of
the English coast will not also be at
least partially successful, for Ger
many will SOW English waters with
mines and her daring submarines
will infest the very harbors Of Eng
lish seaports.
1t seems certain that the difficult
ties of CARRYING on commerce with
England will be greatly increased
and it may be that the increase OF
marine risks will be so great as to
make the carrying trade almost I'M
possible, particularly if British ships
continue to hide under the American
flag.
1t is claimed that it is possible for
Germany TO feed herself and her ar
mics from her own resources, by the
exercise of the greatest economy,
Germany is plainly preparing to 90
this very thing, and she is sending
her noncombatants who have indie
pendent means to the Scandinavian
countries. and to Holland and Swift
zerland in order to save the supply
Of food. England. on the other hand,
cannot raise food enough for the
home population and the armies.
She must import 60 per cent OF her
supply. 1t is plain, therefore, thai
if Germany had the effective sea
power she could inflict more damage
on England than England could in
flict on her. 1t remains for future
DEVELOPMENTS to show which coun-
try is to get the worst of the starva'
ton game.

COUNTY BRIDGE. !. T. .
BILL IS PASSED
House Adopts Brockman
Measure Affecting Opera
ton of Commission.

Little Rock, Feb. 20.-The house to-
day passed the bill by Representative
Brockman to "curtail expenses of the
Jefferson County Bridge district" by
having the county clerk and treasurer
serve as secretary and treasurer OF
the district without additional COM
pensation, and providing for the cleo
ton of the bridge commissioners.
Mr.. Brockman asserts the enactment
of the measure will result in an an
nual saving to the district of not less
than $4,000.
The house also passed the bill by
Representative Hooker, creating Road
Improvement district No. of Jeffer-
son county.
Opponents of the appropriation OF
$40 900 for an exhibit at the San Fran
cisco exposition plan to enjoin the
auditor from issuing warrants on the
fund. They contend that such an ap-
propriation cannot be made except by
two-thirds vote, and the bill received
less than this majority Friday, when
it was declared enacted.

WHEN ROADS COST TOO MUCH

The proper material for street an"
road paving is one OF the most I'M
portant problems confronting NUM-
cipalities and counties.
There is a growing impression that
tho kind of material used heretofore
has not been up to expectations. Inc
criticism holds good in city ana
country.
Street and road paving bonds are
heiug paid off long after the through
fares have been worn out and nave to
be repaired at great expense
If ten or twenty-year street paVlns
bonds are issued the paving at leas'
should last that length of time.
Better value for the money IS re-
ouisite. Don't let good roads ana
oooa streets be altogether t'nah
cia, transaction. Let there be a llt'ls
more value received.

TALKS ON THRIFT,
HOW THEY GOT AHEAD.

Capital is made only by the
process of earning and saving"
| Albert w. Atwood.
Some of our readers have asked us
to publish more stories of the actual
success OF thrifty persons. Following
are three new ones that have come
to our knowledge:
| A st. Louis police sergeant, during
35 years on the force, with a salary
never more than Sis month, saved
| $40, 900, and invested in real estate
which yielded him an income of $153
a month, enough to retire on and
grow old gracefully.
Dennis and Daniel Sullivan, Irish
| twin brothers, worked for two years
as bell-boy and doorman, respective
ly, at the Hotel St. Regis, Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and saved enough
| from their wages and tips to buy a
couple of taxicabs and go into bust
ness for themselves.
1--WE have several other brothers, y
said Denny, "home in Ireland, and as
soon as we can make the money
we'll have the whole lot of them
working with us in partnership. Sure,
an there's one family of Irish bro
theirs who started restaurants over
here the way we intend to start IN
the automobile business, and If they
made money we can"
Mrs. Annie Baseley, of Southern
California, though she started out
poor, can now write her check for
very large amount as she has become
almost a millionaire from her huge
chicken farm. She began in a very
modest way, living in a little cottage
on a single acre of ground. AT
poultry show in Los Angeles she
bought rooster and half a dozen
hens of the best breed. This invest
ment of her savings came high but
it was worth while as Mrs. Baseley's
subsequent success amply proved.
The motto of millions of thrifty, in
dustrious, happy citizens of the Unit
ed States is, Live respectfully and
save little"
This is an excellent rule, and II
you can save a good deal, so much
the better.

on the one hand Germany recognizes

President Wilson has told dele

2. And the things that thou has;
heard of me among many witnesses

men, who shall be able to teach
others also.
3. Thou therefore endure hard

Christ.
4. No man that warreth entan-
gleth himself with the affairs OF THIS
time; that he may please him who
hath chosen him to be soldier.
s.. And if a man also strive for
masteries, yet is he not crowned,
except he strive lawfully.
6. The husbandman that laboureth
must be first partaker of the fruits.
Z. Consider what / say; and the
Lord give thee understanding in all
things.
s. Remember that Jesus Christ OF
the seed Of David was raised from
the dead according to my gospel:
9. Wherein 1 suffer trouble, as an
evil doer, even unto bonds; but the
word of God is not bound.
10. Therefore l endure all things
for the elects sakes, that they may
also obtain the salvation which is J.
Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

if we be dead with him, we Shall

PARIS, August 5.-An explanation OF
Why SO little progress is being made

so far as actual ground gaining is con-
cerned, is afforded in statement from
unquestionable authority, in which the
almost insurmountable difficulties OF
the present struggle are set forth.
During the last six months, says
this authority, from the North sea to
the Swiss mountains there has been
veritable siege warfare along the
length of the broken line OF trenches.
In this warfare all strategic maneuvers
are absent, because maneuvers are i'm
possible on ground where every square
meter is marked and swept by artillery
fire. The only alternative is q frontal
attack. Such an attack is smashed to
pieces in one part or another against
the formidable organizations of de-
tense, in which all the resources of art
and science have been employed by the
