SnoW-Proof 0oots.

Members of arctic expeditions have
 found that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture for snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are in more or less constant use for long period of time. This Is prevented by an oc' casional application of shellac. which effectually keeps the moisture out, even when subjected to the hardest wear. Shellac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the thongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re
 sisting th> moisture when moving over the wet snow. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less eff
 fort. The thongs which have been treated with shellac are also said tc dry out quicker after use than tthers

Precedents amount to amout as much in this war as one of Nelson ; frigates would against superdread. nought. The precedents have been violated wherever they stood in the way and no previous convention will be allowed to interfere with the ad- vantage that either side can gain.
 The little submarine has upset all calculations regarding the rights of neutrals. As for belligerents, they have exactly such rights as they can enforce. Neutrals have such rights as will in no way interfere with the necessities of belligerents, and if they desire and insist on wider rights, they can enforce them With 13-inch guns.

 Both sides are beginning to realize that so far as military and naval operations are concerned, the war can last indefinitely without either side gaining a decisive advantage. If left entirely. to armies and navies the war might last a generation or moro.
 Therefore, why should the allies al- low any intercourse of any kind be- tween Germany and the outside world?
 Why should not the Germans blow up every ship, enemy CT neutral, that bears assistance to- the allies?
 We talk about our trade rights in hostile seas, but in war zones when nations are fighting for their lives there are no rights except those en- forced by warships and submarines.
 As for international law, it is changed to fit the occasion, just as " always was and always will be.
 If the United states does not want to get itself into a position where it will have to fight or eat crow, the United States will have to instruct its citizens to keep off the grass. Keep the American flag out of war zones.
 If the Germans want our food and cotton, let them come and get them. If the allies want them. let them come and get them.
 The time will come in this war when we must decide either to keep our flag out of war zones, to take what comes without kicking, or fight

The financial condition of the state, county, city, school, roav' drainage and other improvement dis tricts is not such as will permit oi an extension of the tax-paying period To urge extension of the time for paying taxes sounds nice; it even seems as kindness to the people but it isn't. To do so would put many districts counties and other political subdivisions in the position of man who has note coming due and many bills payable. He can either arrange to meet the note on the dot, or prepare to pay additional interest, attorneys fees and court costs when the holder goes to court. And the worst of it is that he hurts his credit.

The German people are reported to be tearing up their flower gardens that they may plant the land to grain and foodstuffs. It is this quality oi the Germans-this highly develope efficiency-that is enabling the Teu- tons to stand off the allies in tho present conflict. Suppose our peo- pie would follow these tactics to the extent of making vacant lots and backwards produce vegetables for the family table, there'd be less tendency to complain about the nigh cost ot living. And if all idle acres were put in cultivation, we'd probably re' verse, here in Arkansas, the old scheme of "all goin' out and nothin comin' in" when there's no demand for cotton.

THINE BLUFF ROGRE ESS
 ROSpE.RITY
DUST THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT.

Pine Bluff has displayed com. mcndable kindness toward idle men during the past, few months, but the time has come for different course to be adopted Pine Bluff must do so in self-defense. The frequent hold- ups, the numerous petty thefts and reports of charitably-inclined people being imposed upon indicate that Pine Bluff is being made the rendez- yous for a class of criminals of hardened type.
 Our women have been grossly in- suited by lowbrowed ruffians; law abiding citizens who respect constt. tuted authority to such all extent that they go about the streets at night without rapid-firers in their pockets have been forced to stand with hands up while murderer goes throug. their pockets. A murderer yes, lccause a man who is criminal orough to rob with a pistol has al- ready determined to slay rather than submit to capture.
 It is actually becoming so that 1t is unsafe for ladies to be on tho streets in the early evening hours Several have been accosted 'anl forced to hear remarks that have made their ears jingle, and the red blood of men boil when given hint of the vile insults to which the women have been subjected by these rowdies, bullies, would-be rapists- call them what you will.
 This cannot continue forever. Some time the rpff!an will faf to make his getaway, and then there'll be a nice little lynching bee in Pine Bluff Thered be no regret at the strlnglns up of any one of these criminals. but it would be unfortunate for the city and for men to be compelled to take such action.
 There is also strong suspicion thai the fire destroying the Elks' tneatrt and two other buildings Wednesday morning was started by "hoboes' who had used the basement of the theatre as 8 sleeping place.
 1t is idle to expect the police force to so patrol the city that these thing will not happen. Pine Bluffs police force is far from being as large as ii should be. More men should te added to the force, temporarily at least. .-,....... .....
 The word should go out that Pins Bluff will not be made the rendezv- GUS of criminals. plan of co operation betwees. the police, sheriff's and constablc's departments should be possible, to the end that the city and section be freed of the crimina clement now here.
 Charity is the greatest virtue. but it is evident that Pine Bluffs charity is being imposed upon. It cannot b; expected that we will let charity prs- vent us from riiding ourselves oi ruffians, thieves and murderers.
 Adopt the policy of taking al idlers into custody: and send to ths convict farm all who cannot give 2 good account of themselves.
 The time has come for us to dt ], something in self-protection. Men o ,pine. Bluff will not forever put Ill with insults to their women, brigani age and incendiarism.
