PUT IN SEVERAL WEEKS
 VISITING DIFFERENT PARTS

Fayetteville, Ark..-According to a custom that has prevailed for num- Der of year, members of the Univer- sity faculty and recent graduates have put in several weeks this summer vis- iting different parts of the state and interviewing patrons and prospective students. Most of these men have now finished their work.
 The reports that have been turned in to the office of the President of the University indicate that unfavorable ] financial conditions will have no ap- preciable effect upon the attendance at the University next year. On the other hand, from most places an in crease is expected. Even from that section of the state which is devoted almost entirely to cotton raising, the attendance will be good. One town of not over 1,500 inhabitants located almost 300 miles distant from Fayet- teville will next year send 12 students to the University.
 The total attendance at the Univer- sity last year was 7S3. This number does not include summer school stu dents, correspondence students, eXten- sion students, or students attending courses for only a few days or weeks If all such were included, the total attendance for last year would be more than 2,500. The indications are that the attendance on the regular nine months courses for next college year will reach 900.

INCREASED VALUE OF
 GRAPHITE PRODUCTION

Graphite or plumbago is form of carbon that is used chiefly for manu- facturing crucibles, lubricants, foun- dry facings, and stove polishes and that is the principal constituent of the misnamed lead pencil. The Unit ed States is a large consumer of the several kinds of graphite but only a moderate producer, much of the gra- phite used in this country being inn ported from Ceylon and Mexico. Rel atively large quantities of amorphus graphite are, however, manufactured at Niagara Falls.
 The graphite industry in 1914 was somewhat affected by the war, which after October practically stopped the importation of graphite from Ceylon and Madagascar into the United Stat es until the close of the year. The larger American dealers had a reserve stock on hand, so there was no serious shortage during November and De- cember, and since then trade has so adjusted itself that Ceylon graphite now comes into this country by way of London. In spite of the disturbed conditions in Mexico, the imports of graphite from that country nearly equaled those for 1913.
 Two uses for graphite wherein there have been great gains are in its ap- plication to automatic fabrication and as boiler preparation to loosen "scale." It is also being used more largely as a color1ng material and | filler in the manufacture of gray to black paper, pasteboard, and textiles According to Edson s. Bastin, of the United States Geological Survey, the production of natural graphite in 1914 in the United States amounted to 4,- 336 short tons, valued at $324,118. Of this quantity, 1,725 tons were amor phous, valued at $3S,750, and 2,611 tons were crystalline, valued at $285, 36S. The greater part of the crys- talline graphite-all the flake" varie ty-was produced in New York, Penn sylvania, and Alabama. A small quantity of crystalline graphite was produced in Montana. The entire output of natural graphite in 1914 showed an increase in value as com pared with that of 1913 but slight decrease in quantity. The lessened production was due to the fact that the output of low-grade amorphous graphite did not reach the figures for 1913. The production of manufac- tured graphite in 1914 by the Interna- tional Acheson Graphite Company, of Niagara Falls, was 10,455,139 pounds or 5,2SS short tons, valued at $69S,- 500. This is an average price of $6.6S per ton.

HOME GROWN SEEDS FOR 1916.

The development of seed farms, whether single acre devoted to a single variety or much wider areas, is just now a worthwhile proposition. The partial dependence upon France and Germany and Russia for garden and field seeds, and the upset condi- tions by reason of the war, have been fully set forth in these pages more than once this year. The belief pre- vails in influential quarters that seedsmen depending upon Europe are liable to experience much difficulty iu getting such orders filled for the win ter and spring of 1915-6. Owing to the greatly disturbed conditions, the usual planting was interfered with: in many instances neither farm help nor horses to work the farm machin- cry. Because of this condition abroad, our own seed dealers have been more than willing to place large part of their contracts for future supplies in different parts of this country; for example, many of the small vegetable seeds will this season come from Cali fornia. All of this is worth while.

KEEPING THE MONEY AT HOME

Besides those who sell the stuff there really area lot of confused peo- pie who think that there is wealth for the community in the waste and wrong of whiskey, that booze booms business, and all that sort of thing. One meets these victims of saloon logic even in the prosperous dry towns of the West. They ought to ponder the wisdom of Delaware judge who sentenced an inebriate to drink at home. The Buffalo Express" quotes his Honor as follows:
 Give your wife $2 to buy gallon of whisky. There are sixty-nine drinks in one gallon. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time the first gallon is gone she will have $4 to put in the bank and $2 to start business again. Should you live ten years and continue to buy from her, and then die with snakes in your boots, she will have enough to bury you decently, educate your children, buy a horse and lot, marry a decent man, and quit think ing about you.
 That's the whole truth about wealth and whisky, and we hope other police court judges will follow this prece- dent.-Collier's Weekly.

That Rock Island Receivership

From the Republic.
 The news that the Interstate Com- merce Commission will soon publish its report on the Rock Island receiver ship is welcome. The great Ameri- can public wants to know the facts. It wants to understand how it came about that a road S32S miles long. a system which last year had an oper- ating income of 6S,0OO,OO0, went into the hands of a receiver on account of a debt of $16,000 to a railway supply manufacturer. Such a proceeding looks on the face of it, like a joke. The public wants to know what ser jus reasons were behind it.
 Not even all the directors knew what was doing. One of them who has been active in efforts to have the receivership set aside declares he knew nothing of the receivership until it was fact. We of the general public with our old-fashioned ideas, conceive that the directors ought to have been notified. Perhaps one of them might have advanced the vast sum of $16,000 to that implacable supply manufac- turer rather than permit the road to confess insolvency.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR COTTON

Graded under state authority ac- cording to government standards stored in rural and city warehouses in accordance with state law, represent ed by uniform warehouse receipts of unimpeachable validity which every bank everywhere accepts as security for advances of cash at reasonable terms as provided by the federal re- serve system-with all these advan- tages, there need be no fear for cot ton. South Carolina has the needed state law. The Georgia and Alaba- ma legislatures should enact a similar warehousing system. Perfect the or ganized handling of cotton in other states along similar lines. Then with the unlimited credit afforded by the federal reserve system, the crop of perhaps less than 12,000,000 bales will be converted into fair profits in due time. Our faith is that the usual proportion of the new crop will be taken by foreign markets.

Our Undivided Responsibility
From the Globe-Democrat.

There is not, it now appears, to be a joint intervention in Mexico. The half dozen Latin republics now CO., operating with the United States in making plan of attempted pacifica- tion of the country will not go be- yond the point of a peaceful media tion. In other words, such moral force and pressure as can be exerted by the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia and Guatemala will be used to influence Mexican leaders to acceptance of the plan of restoring government which the conferees recommended. In the event of a refusal by all, or any one of the factions, or for any reason which may make the use of force nec- essary in carrying out the terms of the agreement, the force shall be ap- piled only by the United States. Fail ure of moral suasion, which, with such a form of agreement is the most like ly thing to expect, will leave us where We have been from the first, in a po- sition where we must hold an undivid- ed responsibility for terminating chaos and barbarian and restoring civil government in a distracted coun- try at our doors.
