American Zlterature.

If one were asked what is the dom. inant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful ness;' but this youth has attained all the vices of age, and has conserved . few of the charms proper to its period. It Is a very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on. 'boyish nesa' is unhealthy: more. 1t is de prayed. These boyish boys and girl Hh girls of the writer and the artist are the indications Of real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portrayiug them the writers and illus trators are describing something which is as true as 1t is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America is a national calamity, far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to giva life but its energy: 1t has even less to give literature, for literature ia m expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It Is not the retail. ing of petty gossip about petty peo pie: and when thls youthful energy Is divorced from the control Of ma. turity nobody can benefit from 1t ex' Nept the middle-ssed woman for whom American literature is now be ing written."--Jslnss stephens in tho CAptuS1.

 ROSPERITY
WORK FOR BIG MEN.

It is up to the big men of Pine Bluff to lead in the campaign for di- versificsticn of crops; to induce the small farmer, especially, that it is to is own interest to produce on his farm as many of his needs as pos sible.
 There is no doubt that there are people who do not desire to See, the small farmer become independent but the welfare of the community de mands that the old poverty-perpetu- ating sell-the- tton-before- -is- made policy be discarded. And this can be accomplished only by the small farmer growing his own meat grain, hay. vegetables, fruit, etc.
 When he does this, and puts u1 enough one year to last him until the next crops are harvested, he will bt in n position to go to the banks ant borrow money at a reasonable rate Of interest, instead of paying eXorbl tant prices and exorbitant interest rates on bills for supplies.
 And until the farmer does provide for himself he cannot expect othel than to pay big prices and high inter est rates, because the supply me1 take big risks and they are compelled to make the odds in their favor.

MAKING THE UNIFORM FIT.

How many of those who are clam cring so insistently just now for a large s.snding army have stopped to consider that our present pension rolls total almost $200,O00,000, which is considerably more than the Ger man army cost up to the time of ac- tual preparations for the present wsr?
 ssThere is little doubt that the long speech made by General Wood to the military students at Platsburg, N. Y.' few days ago is the keynote of the IropagaEda for big army and navy for the United States" says the Pitts hnrg Leader. adding: "It is possible we need a great standing army ana navy that shall rank with tho worlds greatest, but even if we do there are going to be some difficul- ties in the way of getting them.

 Tn the manufacture of silk the Gtilization of the waste product is quite as important as the silk itself. For every pound of raw silk taken airect from the cocoon there are left i-om twelve to fourteen pounds of waste. This tremendous amount of fefuse, however, after being soft eaed, dressed and combed by special a,achinery becomes a keen com r-.itor to the raw silk. When mixed N;th wool or cotton it is manufac- :nred into goods resembling silk.
 Coal-tar was once considered one os the obnoxious waste materials. Modern enterprise and thrift is to- day turning this erstwhile refuse into things of value and necessity. Thus this once valueless and offensive sub e,ance is now being utilized in mak- lng such. a great and varied list of produets. as beautiful dyes, perfume, Havoring extracts, benzine, creosote, carbolic acid and numerous drugs.

 "The soldier of Germany and Franco and Italy and some others Is subject to military service as na- tlonaT du,y. It is a sacrifice. He gets nothing for it in pay unless the few cents day is called pay, a view tie Amercan isn't likely to take.
 Unless we adopt the European sys- tenn of taking soldiers and sailors by force, without pay, we are beginning an expenditure that will put us into national bankruptcy for the bare sup port of the military system. Uncle Sam is a good-aearted old soul, but he has his limits. One of them is In his pocketbook. Will Americans serve in army and navy as a duty without pay as in Europe"

Making Thinus Even.

It would be difficult to ind . region where the ups and downs of forums have been so sudden and extreme az tn California. In it's early days, be- fore it's production of grair was equal to the demand, wages of farm hands were high, but as production increased the prices lowered faster than the rate of wages. A farmer employed aa in- dustrious Irishman for five years, at the rate of fifty dollars month "and found"--board, lodging. washing, and mending. At the end ot the term hd said to his man: T can't afford to pay you the wages have been paying. You have saved money, and I have saved nothing. At this rate you will coon own my farm."

 In fact, the choir boys of one ci Chicago's large Episcopal churche, earned the money for their anrua: "Camping-out" this year by collect. ing old papers and selling them to paper mill At the same time they learned a lesson in thrift.

& In answer to The Journals ques-
ton, "What does the Woman's City
club expect to accomplish this year? ?"
/ can only say that is risky query
no one would dare to answer. What
we hope to accomplish is quite diff
ferent matter that may perhaps be
answered without any great risk.
These hopes are seeds planted, some
in stony ground, some may fall by
the wayside, and some are near to
fruition now. The seed sowing must
go on without "fear of the birds" or
consequences, and the real hope and
faith is that some day a new civic
mind will have developed, and that
will be the best Of all accomplish
ments.
The purpose of the Woman's City
club is eto bring together women in
terested in promoting the welfare of
the city; to coordinate and render
more effective the scattered social
and civic activities in which they are
engaged; to extend a knowledge of
public affairs; to aid in improving
civic conditions, and to assist in
arousing an increased sense of social
responsibility for the safeguarding of
the home, the maintenance of good
government and the ennobling of that
cial rubbish box that is to be used.
