A tinfoil philosopher has said:

he falls in their levi. No institu-

THE L|VABLE TOWN

Why are SO many country towns
going backwards? During the past
10 years $50 towns in a middle
western state have decreased in
population. The rural district of a.
mother have lost 10000 people.
Practically every other middle ives
tern state has suffered in the same
way, and it is believed that shortly
every state east of the Rocky noun
tains will face this condition, At
the same time every large city in
these states have shown remarkable
growth in population. This indicates
that the young people of the rural
d stricts and small towns are dissat-
isfied with conditions, and grayitate
to the larger towns because of the
pleasures and better living condi-
tons they hope to find there. I'm
til we make our small towns attrac-

COST RECORD Of
EUROPEAN WAR

David Stanr Jordan, president of
the University of California. writes
as follows in the San Francisco
Chronicle: Edgar Crammond of
London, a high authority, estimates
the cash cost of a year of the Euro
pean war to August 1, 1915, at $17.
100000, while other losses will
amount up to make a grand total of
$46, 100000. No one can have
any conception of what SAC, 900 900
: 600 may be. 1T is four times all the
coin in the world. If this sum was
measured out in $40 gold pieces
and they were placed side by side
on the railway track, on each rail,
they would line with gold every line
from New York to the Pacific Ocean
the two Canadian lines included.
There would be enough left to COW
er each rail of the Siberian Railway
from Vladivostock to Petrograd.
There would still remain sufficient
to rehabilitate Belgium and to buy
the whole of Turkey, at her own
valuation, wiping her finally from
the map.
"Or, we may figure it some 9TH
er fashion. The average working
man in America earns $51S per VI.
1t would take ninety million years
work to pay the cost of the war; or
ninety million American laborers
might pay it off in one year, if all
their living expenses were. paid.
I The cost of a year of sthe great
war is little more than the esti-
mated value of all the property of
the United States west of the Miss
issippi River. 1t is nearly equal to
the total value of all the property
i'm Germany ($4S.O00,0 0,000,), as
estimated in 1906 The whole Rus
sian Empire ($35, 100000, could
have been bought for a less sum
before the war began. 1t could be
had on cash sale, more cheaply
now. This sum would have paid for
Oil lHS property la ICdly, Japan,
Holland, Belgium, Spain and Por-
tugal. 1t is three times the entire
yearly earnings in wages and sal
aries of the people of the United
States. |
''The cost of the war would pay
the national debts of all the nations J
in the world at the time the war
broke out. If all the farms, farm
ing lands and factories in United |
States were wiped out of existence,
the cost of this war would more
than replace them. If all the per-
sonal and real property of half oul'
nation were destroyed, or if al
earthquake OF Incredible dimensions
should shake down every house from
Atlantic to the Pacific, the waste
would be less than that involved il
this war AVID an elemental cat
astrophe leaves behind it no costly
legacy of hate"

The Dawn of Christianity
As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

15. Brethren, l speak after the
 manner of men; Though it be but g mans covenant, yet it be confirmed, thereto.
 16. LOW to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith
 not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
 IF. And this l say, that the CO venant, that was confirmed before ot God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. IS. For if the inheritance be oi the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by
 promise.
 19. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of trans gressions, till the seed should com to whom the promise was made
 hand of a mediator.
 20. Now a mediator is not medi-
 ator of one, but God is one.
 21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verify right
 eousness should have bee nby the law.
 g. But the scripture hath con- cluded all under sin, that the prom ise by faith of Jesus Christ might given to them that believe. 23. But before faith came, W
 were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should after wards be revealed. "A. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring up unto Christ that we might be Justified by faith. 25. But after that faith is come we are no longer under a school master.
 26. For ye are all the children C God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
 2S. There is neither Jew nc Greek. there is neither bend pr free, there is neither male or female for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are we Abraham's seed, and heirs ac cording to the promise.

 Pine Bluffs steady growth shows no signs of diminishing. Go almos! anywhere about the city, and fm- provements are to be seen in pro- gress. There are some wise people in Pine Bluff. These know that this is a good time to build and they are doing it. There are some people here, as in every town, who are wont to cry "hard times" on the slightest provocation, but there's every evl- dence that Pine Bluff is enjoying be. ter conditions than nearly any other 
 Buildings are being erected, autos are still in use, last winters clothes are seldom seen; everybody appears to be well-fed, and the grocers tell us the demand for fancy stuff is as great as ever. None of these things indicate poverty stricken com munity. irrespective of what the o1n, iixyb 1,n
 Pine Bluffs opportunity is greater today than ever With river inn provements, there'll be lower freight rates; with diversification there'll be raw material for the packing plant, and therc'll also be homegrown vegetables to take the place of Cali fornia, Florida and other states pro ducts. We've got some of the best industrial enterprises in the coun- try. The best because they are handled by substantial business men. We want we need, more of the sama kind. We can get them by going in d bunch after them. Pine Bluffs greatest need just now is co-opera- tion among it's citizens. The kind of cooperation that forgets person alities and sees only the common good. The feeling is dormant, but will be awakened. Pine Bluff peopl :. are no different from those of other communities, and The Graphic re- fuses to believe that they will with hold the cooperation and support necessary for the Chamber of Con- mercei to undertake and successful ly carry out a program of upbuild- ing that will mean more industries more people, more money.

ST. LOUIS MAN PLANS
 FOR MASONIC TEMPLE
C0n1ers With Trustees of Masonic Pension Fund, But No COnclu-
 sion Has Been Reached.

Bringing with him plans and drawings for Masonic Temple which it is proposed to erect in Pine Bluff, J. G. Hercules, Jr., contrac- tor of St. Louis yesterday afternoon explained his plan and proposition to the trustees of the widows and orphans fund of tho local Masonic bodies, at meeting held at the of flee of J. M. Hooker.
 MT. Hercules explained his ideas in detail, and there was much dis cussion of the proposition. Nothing definite was done, however, and the. will likely be another meeting and conference today on the subject. !! The plans prepared by MT. Her cules call for a handsome and sub- stantial three or four story building to be erected on the site of the Ma sonic hall, Second avenue and Chest nut street. Cost Of the construction of the building will be met by de ferred payments, secured by mort gage upon the building and site, ac- cording to MT. Hercules proposition Arrangements for the erection of 2 ] Masonic Temple here have been pro- ] ceeding quietly and slowly for some years past, but it is understood the
 matter has now reached something approximating definite form.
